Exciting Scene in Venice.

In Venice, as we learn by the City of Balti-
more, series of dramatic representations
have been given during September by Ma
damme RistOri. Amongst other pieces calcu-
lated to display the varied talents of the &C
complished actress was Giacommetti'S we'll
known tragedy of "Judith." The theatre was
crowded, and the audience listened with SYM
pathy and admiration to the gradual develop
ment of indignant courage in the Hebrew he
roine. But then in the fullness of her unri-
vailed power, Ristori pronounced the lines -
Name my name to your children, and tell
them that the war is sacred which is waged
by nation against those who invade a land
given to its defenders by their Cad" the au-
dience rose up and gave vent to all the pas
sionate excitement which the childr n of the
South when deeply moved, are accustomed to
display. 1t was in vain that the graceful ar
tiste strove by her looks and gestures to APP
pease their tumultuOuS applause, and sought
permission to resume the enactment of her
part Judith and the foe of Israel seemed
swept away from their memories by the sud
den whirlwind of popular passion; and the
air was rent with invectiveS and imprecatonS
| against Austria. In the first subsistence of
| the Storm a REPETITION of the magic lines was
| called for. Compliance wonld have been an
| infractiOn of a notorious order of the police,
made to guard against mandates of the kind
from the audience. Ristori hesitated for a
time, and then withdrew to ask permission.
| The commissary was absent, and to pacify her
phrensied hearers, she finally came forward
and gave the omnibus words again. The an
ger of the authorities is not worth describing;
and it is almost superfuOus to add that the
guilty play was next morning erased from the
lists of pleasures permitted to the disaffected
Venetians.

Lager and CrinOline in. Paris.

A Paris correspondent of the Augsburg
Allgemei'ae Zeitung, writing on the 25th of
September says: 1.-The wealthy and fashion
able world is out of town, enjoying the fine au-
tumn weather in the country, or at the seaside.
The hotel-keepers, gamins, bOotblacks and
washerwomen await with anxiety the return
of the tide. In the Bots de Boulogu one en-
counters innumerable hackney coaches, with
here and there a melancholy Englshman, or a
German and his inseparable umbrella. The
students of the Quarter Latin are off during
the recess-.hence the grisettes who patronize
the balls of the clOserie DIES Hlas are now all
grass-widOws in black petticoats they drink
beer and smoke paper cigars. In fact, the
French have latterly become great beer-drink-
ers, and were their beer not such execrable
stuff, think they would excel even us Ger
mans in its consumption. None but the lorettes
drink punch and champagne in the Jardin
Mobile, which is no longer resort of the
demi-monde and viveurs. The lorettes, too
are the only class of their sex with whom
crinoline has assumed its most expansive form.
will not deny that respectable ladies in Paris
still wear crinolines, or rather spring skirts,
but they wear them discreetly and within
bounds, observing in their dimensions be-
coming sense of propriety."

The French Empress at a Bull Ffgh

-e--N'
While at Biarritz, the Empress Engine al
ways attends the bull fights instituted some
years ago by her. One is thus described by
the correspondent of the London Times
Another bull fight took place to-day at St.
Esprit. The ceremony at the bar did not
prevent it from being well attended. Egana,
| very rising man in his profession, was es-
pecially retained for the occasion He was
summoned by telegraph from Biscay, and
though he had an engagement elsewhere, he
accepted the very liberal offer made him. He
exhibited to-day, and got well through the
work. He killed his two bulls to the great sat-
lsfaction even of the Spanish amateurs, who
are naturally the best judges Of his merits
While fighting his first bull, and when Just at
the moment of giving the final stroke, he, by
accident or design, dropped the mulita, or
crimson flag which hides the sword The bull
instantly trampled upon it, and it was impos-
sible to recover it. The spectators shouted
to him to take another multia. He did no such
thing. With admirable sang froid he took a
small cambria handkerchief from the pocket of
his embroidered jacket, held it before the eyes
OF the bull, and as the beast sprang forward,
ne planted the sword in his spine up to the
hit. The brute made a last bound at his adj
versary, but as he touched him with his horns
he fell dead as if struck by thunderbolt.-
The whole ring resounded with APPLAUSE
The bul-fighter had to make the circuit of the
ring three times, while showers of cigars were
flung ON him-one the highest compliment to
an artistic of this kind. The bull was also
awarded to him as recompense for his skill
Egana advanced to where the animal was w.
ing, cut off the tip of his car, flung it in the
air, and retired amid enthusiastic shouts
Two or three of the bulls were good, but one
was pronounced to be decidedly bad, as he
gave little OF. no play to the picadors.

Stone Houses.

A letter from Florence, in the Providence
Journal, makes especial mention of the solid
ity of FlOrentine houses. They are built Of
stone, and last for centuries. A conhagra-
ton would be next to impossible. The city
could hardly be destroyed by fire. In few
houses is there sufficient combustible mate
rial to make blaze great enough to commll-
nicate to the adjoining house. The ceiling of
the first story is almost universally brick
arch. These arches, in some houses, are al
so carried through all the upper stories The
floors are in every case of brick, ground to
different degrees of smoothness, or of cement
handsomely painted imitation of marble
Wherever it can be done, plaster is substitu-
ted for wood, as in the casing of doors and
windows, or other ornament What by our
mechanics, is technically called "furring," is
unknown there.
Whoever goes to Italy, as many do, expec.
ting to find the principal part of the buildings
| of marble, will be disappointed. Marble struc.
lures form the rare exception instead of the
| rule. Full ninety per cent. of the buildings
| of Italy have succeed or plastered exterior
walls. This is true of Naples, Rome and Florence
| and it is Of Munich, Dresden and Berlin
No country of Europe, with the exception o.
France, is so well supplied with stone of vari
| Gus kinds, for exterior strllction as the Unit
| ed States of North America 1t is on the
| inside and not on the outside of churches and
! palaces that one sees the most liberal eXpen
ditures in MOSAIC pavement and panelings, in
marble columns and entablatures, and Altar
decorations. There is no doubt that more
marble has already been used in America
in exterior construction than in all Italy.

Election Scenes In North Carolina

A correspondent of the Pendleton Messen-
ger, reporting a trip through Spartanburg to
North Carolina. gives some illustrations of
selection times," which may be interesting
and suggestive
Arrived at the election ground, there
was sight worth seeing. Apple brandy
ruled There were about as many women
as men on the ground. This is peculiar
feature in North Carolina gatherings-the wo-
men nearly all attend, andi results benefici-
ally sometimes. once saw a fellow get into
fight at one of those elections, while his
wife was along with him. The front yard Of
the doggery had been graveled with coarse
gravel. Our hero pulled off his shirt and
pitched in, but was soon made to bite the
gravel. Hero No. Jumped on him, but was no
sooner on than off, for our. tirst-named herO's
wife gathered hOop-pole and such lambing
as hero No. 2 got it has not been my fortune
to see SINCE All hands stood off and saw it
well done. Hero No. l was sight. Imag-
inc mans back full of coarse gravel-goug-
ed in through the skin.
In approaching the election ground,
young men and women could be seen sitting
on logs in the woods, eating ginger cakes and
drinking cider and brandy. Heap of land to
the acre there. One fellow jumped out of a
shanty there where they kept their apple
brandy, and swore that he could whip the
man that had anything against him. Every
body seemed too drunk to take much notice
| of him. Two fellows got to scuff1ing on a
large scaAold, and down it came causing a
general row. Some were knocked down by
the falling of the scaffold, and supposing some
body had knocked them down, pitched in pro-
miscuously. thought it was time for a peace
able man to leave, so took the road"

ROYAL POlfteUeSs.

A Scotch newspaper, which evidently is
deficient in the feeling commonly known as
loyalty among the English profanely has a
cut at "Her Most Gracious Majesty" Queen
Victoria 1t appears that, accompanied by
her husband and some of her children, Victo-
ria lately visited the town of Leeds, ON the way
to Scotland, with the expressed purpose OF
opening magnificent Town-Hall, which the
Leeds people have lately built. The Glasgow
Examiner says:
"Among the curiosities of royal life it may
be worth while to state that, though the may
or of Leeds gave up his mansion to the Queen,
and spent 200 in entertaining her, his Ia
dy was not allowed to dine with her or even
see her. The mayor himself had commenc-
ed his dinner with neighbor, when he was
commanded to dine with the Queen; but the
lady was not admitted to her own house to sit
at her own table"
If this be true bill, and it is precisely
what we know to have occurred repeatedly
at other places visited by the Queen, it is a
fine specimen of cool impertinence. The
Mayor, Mr.. Fairbairn, received honor OF
Knighthood," and is now called 'Sir Peter, "
but this is scanty equivalent for the compli-
ment he paid Her Majesty, at vast expense.
Another paper states that Lady Fairbairn had
received bracelet from the Queen (atter the
publication of the above announcement, J
but does not add that, with true womanly
spirit, she had refused to accept apresent

Habits of Spiders.

The following curious fact..is given upon
the authority of Mr. Spence:
" Having placed large full-grown spider
on cane planted upright in the midst of a
stream of water, he saw it descend the cane
several times and remount when it had reach
ed the surface of the water. Suddenly he al
together lost sight oft, but ina few minutes
afterwards, to his great establishment, perceived
it quietly pursuing its way on the other side of
the stream. The spider having spun two
threads along the cane, had cut one of them,
which, carried by the wind, had become at
tached to some object on the bank, and so
served the spider as bridge across the wa
ter. 1t is supposed that spiders, when adult,
always use similar means to cross water"
