These patriots have both left London re-
Gently. The first is supposed to be in Tur-
key; the second in Italy. Indications of war
insEurope and general stirring up of the
people under the yoke of the despots of that
deSpotic quarter of creation, have no doubt
brought forth from their secluson these two
brave patriots Of Hungary and Italy. They
are ripe and ready for revolution-ready to
lead awakened millions of liberty-longing Hum
garians and Italians to contest and to victory
War is an evil, giant evil and curse; but
when nations are crushed down under the iron
heel of absolutism, when tyrants league to-
fire and every aspiration of the masses for
hberty-then war is inevitable, necessary
The masses of Europe are now ground down,
crushed. Patriotic Poland is no MORE
Hungary is writing under the tyrant's LASH
Italy is suffering anguish under double des-
potism, ecclesiastical and civil; and millions
of signs and groans rise up to Heaven for
vengeance from the great mass of oppressed
humanity in the old world. The trial of
strength between the oppressed and the OPP
PressOr must come, and come soon. Heaven
grant that the lives of the Kossuths and MAJ
zinis may be spared to lead on freedoms hosts
to the great trial of strength, and to rejoice
over PROSTATE and forever fallen tyrants.
The constitutional monarchies of Europe
now have the power in their own hands. To-
day England and France may say to Russia,
on the plains of Turkey, thus far and no far
Their shall your Cossack lords approach; and
to Hungary, Poland and Italy, freedom is
yours. Tomorrow, with Turkey fallen, and
the Autocrat's southern capital at Constanti-
nople, absolutism will predominant, and ty-
rants will control the destinies of Europe for
centuries.
Now is the time when general war may
accomplish glorious result. 1t cannot make
matters worse. And the result may be con-
sidered sure. II. it required desperate effort
on the part of Russia and Austria with all
their resources, to put down patriotic Hun
gary, how can those powers Withstand a gen.
eral rising Of the Magyar, the Pole, the free
men of Germany, and the brave republicans of
Italy, aided by Turkey, England, and France!
Success to Kossuth and Mazzini, and ''Heaven
speed the right"

The Steamer Ocean.

The Boston Journal says this fine steamer
is now lying in the sectional dock, East Bos-
ton, undergoing repairs, and lies in an ex-
tremely favorable position to be examined
Her stout ribs, her thick keelsons, her heavy
oak planking both inboard and cupboard, show
that she was built to contend against STORMY
water, ard that with her beauty is combined
extraordinary strength. The damage which
she recently received while humping upon the
Londoner, was not nearly SO great as her pro-
prietors, before lifting her out of the water,
anticipated that she had suffered. A portion of
her planking for the space of forty or fifty feet
from her stern was chafed somewhat badly,
and along her keel at the stern for perhaps
half as many feet, she showed the marks of
rather close proximity with the rocks but the
rest Of her bottom looked as fair as it did on
the day when she gided from her birthplace.
Her engine was wholly uninjured. Two of
her keelsons proved to be spliEtered little
near her bow; but new, solid wood of massive
size, has been placed along the whole floor
where there was any suppostion of weakness,
and this bolted SO thoroughly to the frame as
TO render it all one mass Of sea-defying strength
The light work which constituted the ladies'
cabin and the saloon above, was badly broken
up, and gave the steamer quite the appearance
Of wreck but the heavy and substantial pOr-
ton Of the hull shows no marks Of having been
strained in the slightest degree; and the boat
can therefore be put upon her route again in a
short period, Gin the course Of ten days or a
fortnight, as we are informed,) as staunch as
she was when she first cleft the bilow, and as
much "a thing Of beauty as ever.

To CLEANSE FEATHER-BEDs AND MATTHIAS
sEs-When feather-beds become solid or
heavy, they may be made light by being trea-
ted in the following manner;-Rub them over
with stiff brush, dipped in hot soapsuds.-
When clean, lay them on shed any other
clean place, where the rain will fall on them.
When thoroughly soaked, let them dry in a
hot sun for six or seven successive days, sha-
king them well, and turning them over each
day. They should be covered over with a
thick cloth during the night; if exposed to
the night air, they will become damp and mil
dew. This way of washing the bed-tick and
feathers, makes them very fresh and light, and
it is much easier than the old-fashioned way
of emptying the beds, and washing the feathers
separately, while it answers as well. Care
must be taken to dry the bed perfectly before
sleeping on it.

Brunswick nuisance before this. Glad to find

1t is disgrace 20 the Company, a disgrace to

wish that locomotive ''Patten' would slip her

EB- Greeley, of the N. Y Tribune, and
some other editors, make great hue and cry
about certain folks not being specially invited
on to the platform at the conservation of the
Crystal Palace. Greeley always sees some
thing wrong in everything. What a pity it
IS that these modern braggart reformers can
not have the world fixed to suit them. But it
would be useless, after all. They would not
be satisfied with another and better world
if it were possible for such vanity-struck indi.
viduals to get there.

An Attractive Exhibition.

At the Crystal Palace in New York, in a
semi-circular apartment lined with purple vel
vet, with the light coming from above through
a blue shade, is Thorwaldseu's great work
"Christ and his Twelve Apostles The
editor of the Home Journal says, "we came
upon this majestic triumph of art unawares,
and were entranced by its grand variety of
meaning and beauty. The figures are of the
size of life, except the Christ, which is larger;
and they stand round the semi-circle, the prin-
cipal figure at the back, and six apostles on
either hand. Here, for the first time, we see
a countenance which does not outrage our
idea of the Saviour. Here, for the first time,
we behold face expressive, at once, of the
humility and holiness, Of the sorrow and res
ignation, the dignity and lowlness, the puri-
ty and wisdom Of the Man, Christ Jesus. No
effeminacy, no weak submissiveness, no indie
cision, are traceable in that face. It is the
countenance of one who cOnlpresends all the
woes of mankind, pities them with an i'm
measurable compassion, kn0US that they are
past cure for many and many an age, and yet
is profoundly sure that the time will come
when human folly and consequently human
sorrow shall have an end. Such an exhibit
ton Is worth journey to see. The above
eloquent description of this one attraction of
the Crystal Palace, is enough to make half
formed resolve whole one, that we must
make it visit

Mn. DELEvAN ON THE "MAINE Law" It
was the New York Evangelist, religious
paper, and defender of the "Maine Law"
that originally made the statement that Mr..
Delevan was opposed to it. The entire letter
OIL Mr.. D. on the subject has recently been
published in the papers in this State, from
winch II appears, says the Christian Mirror,
tnat with Mr. Delevan, it is rather question
OF tlrne 'nan otherwise. He apprehends the
New York public may not yet be ripe for it:
and that there is too great hazard Of failure
to make SO strong measure expedient At the
present time. He has witnessed the rero.rla
bic success of other means in efrectinp a ref.
ormation to a very great extent, and probably
thinks they should be prosecuted till verv
decided majority of the people are prepared to
sustain stringent law At any rate, its ex-
pediency, for the present, does not seem to him
seyf-euident and beyond all question.
