A correspondent of the Neaalk Advertiser
writes from Florence, Italy, under date OF
the 9th ult., as follows:
"The ex.King and Queen Of Prussia made
their grand entrance here a day or two since,
and took possession Of the fine Hotel de la
Willie, turned toto palace FOR the royal pair
and suite. The cortege comprised twenty car
riages and wagons, trcm the last of which
sauce pans aud tin-kettes hung dangling, as
if mockipg with their discordant rattle the
pomp and circumstance of that royalty Of
which they brought up the rear. But kings
must take their cuisine, as well as their dla-
monds about with them.
Ex-President Pierce happened to be lodged
at the hotel, demanded for old Frederick Will
liam, " hen tie order came to 7acate it. The
eztatie landlord made haste to acquaint his
guests of the honor intended him. limiting
alike to one and all the necessity of seeking
other quarters, which hint was differently re-
csived by different temperamen's, but by no
one 80 amiaJly as by the ex sident who
conceded 10 the blandest manner the right OF
az ex.king to turn him, democratic ez-Prt-
sident, out OF DOORS"

lCONNUSICATED,


ROBERT +. Scorr, EsQ-This gentleman,
alike distinguished for profound legal learn
ing, great amenity of manners, aud manly
independence OF sentiment, has declined be-
ing candidate for Congress from this Dis
trict.
Mr.. Scott is very eminent 10 his Profes.
sion, highly appreciated by thu people, and
surrounded by numerous personal friends,
and Influential connexions. Who, therefore,
could better discharge public duties than
himself, if placed in public life?
That his reasons for declining are coeent,
all will admit, so far as regards himself but
questionable, as regards the pnJtic veal =
Our country should arrays be first, aud |
hope to be excused fer here repeating Mr.
Scotts bold, frank, and truthful remark
wherein be say.--"But 10 the present state
of our politics, this seems impossble-par-
tytsm usurps the place Of patriotism -Idola
try to party dogmas takes precedence OF
nship, and the representative, who
would keep bis place is under the ever pres.
sing necessity of taking observations OF
these, and shifting his course, according 10
the quarter in which they appear"
That this is true, all will acknowledge,
except some politicians who would rather
rule in pestileuce aud famine than be quiet
and peaceable citizens in this Republic. 1t
is high time that plain and honest minded
men, should pass sentence on them but
there are many good aud worthy exceptions,
of which the people are competent judges.

Kansas PrOsDcCfs,

From letter just received from an old
friend, Rev. Mr.. Vivaldi, now residing in
Kansas City, we learn that, for the last two
weeks, the settlers out there have been ex-
perenciDg Siberian weather. Kansas river
is frozen over, be says, and teams cross over
the ice freely.
BY next spring an immense stream OF emf
grafton lie expected to flow towards Pixies
Peak, which is generally believed to be as rich
in gold deposits as California. The reports
from that quarter arc highly encouraging
and there is every reason to believe that
there are good prospects to those who are
prudent iu making the necessary enquiries
from reliable persons, before engaging in
the gold-seeking enterprise.
Kansas City is said to be admirably sisua-
ted for large share of the American COM
merce. 1t is right 10 the centre Of the Uni
ted States, and is rapidly growing in size and
importance-the population having risen in
two years, from 1000 to 9,000.-N Y. Erp

American jurisprudence.

1t is admitted by the foreign critics who
have most decried the efforts of American
writers in other departments Of literature,
that in Jurisprudence the works Of American
authors are unexcelled. There are no names
in legal literature greater than Kent, Story,
Wheaton, and Bowler. The popularity Of
Judge Bouvier's works rivals that Of Kent's
Commentaries We learn that since his
death, in 1851, the publishers of his Law
Dictionary and his Institutes of American
Law have paid upwards Of twenty thousand
dollars copy-righ. on those two work, to his
heirs; and the sale Of those valuable works
is constantly increasing as their merits be-
come more widely known and appreciated.
OF kent's Commentaries upwards of sixty
thousand copies arc said to have been sold,
and the ninth edition has been issued.--N.

In looking over the proceedings OF Con-
gress, on yesterday, and the vote allowing the
soldiers of the war Of 1912 the poor pittance
of few dolars to cheer them in the decline
of life, after years of delay and neglect, and

those who could find it in their hearts TO cast
their vote against this act, the name OF John
Letcher, the present candidate for Governor
of Virginia.
Had the vote been for increasing the pay
of members of Congress from IS per diem to
$1,000 per session, or for approprlating TO
their own use books published for catch-pen,.
