ConsrcAs VENGEANcE.--M. Abbatucci the recent
ly deceased Minister OF Justice In France, was adj
mirably qualified, it would appear, by the expert.
enee of his own family history, to appreciate the
advantages of civilized system of Jurisprudence.
The correspondent of an English journal writes Of
him:
With one of his couutrymen, u. Casa Blanca
the Senator, he was at deadly ieud For upwards
of two centuries it has been said In Corsica that
every ditch In the low woodland is full OF bones of
the Abbatuceis slaughtered by the Casa Biancas !;
aud that every we'll hides bodies of Casa Biancas
murdered by the Abbatucci clan. And 80 the feud
had goAe on, and civilization of our 10th centu-
ry could bring the two heads of the two families to
endure each other. The other evening NJ. Casa
Blanca was seated at a whist table at the right
hand Of an acquaintance of mine, who was playing
against him. new conner announced the official
news of Abbatuecis deInIse. 'He is dead! asked
NJ. Casa Blanca, earnestly-"you are certain he is
dead ?! and. on confirmation OF the news, be rose,
laid down bis cards, and said, with great fervor
and solemuity, fntta Ia ,easdettae the vengeance
