PArAL DEFENCE OF THE MonrARA ABDUCTION.
The Civtta Cattolica has just published a
supplementary defence of the Holy See in the
matter of young Nortara's abduction It's a
long and labored document, and full of those
painful perversions of Scripture to which we
are accustomed in writings on this side of the
question. The writer cxtos the wisdom and
gentleness of the church, and Eliminates the an
athemas against those who stand up fora.the
sacredness of natural relationships, whom he
accuses of descending to the level of the beasts,
in whom the parental affections predominant
He insists very much that the mission of our
Lord was not to send peace, but sword. But

able to tear poor Jewish child from his pa
rents, you could not defend yourselves against
your own Christian people. y London News,

The LAST HoUns OF ROBERT OwEN.-The
The following letter, describing the death of Ro-
bert Owen, was written by Robert Dale Owen,
resident Minister from the United States to the
Court of Naples, who happened to be on visit
to his father at the time of the latter's death.
1t is dated ''Newtown, Montgomcryshire, No
vember 1Tth:''
"My. Dear Sir: 1t is all over. My dear father
passed away this morning at quarter before
seven, and passed away MS gently and quietly
as if he had been falling asleep. There was not
the least struggle, not contraction of limb or
muscle, not an expression of pain on his face
His breathing gradually became slower and
slower, until at last it ceased so imperccptibly
that even as held his hand could scarcely tell
the moment when he no longer brcathed His
last words, distinctly pronounced about twency
minutes before his death, were, Relief has

CoNoREss commences its session to-day. We
presume that the'message will be read after the
calling of the roll at 12 mr. and copies of it will
thus leave Washington for the west this eve
ming. This session is by law short one, and
there is plenty of work to fill up the time from
now to the 4th of March, without hunting it up
in the shape of Kansas and slavery debates Yet
we have little doubt however, butwhat'a skirrn-
ish ofthis kind will soon commence and continue
more or less violently all through the winter
There are some things, however, which must be
attended to, and the tariff will probably come up
prominently. We notice that our venerable
namesakc, the National Iutclligencer, has been
quoting Gen. Jucksons well known opinions in
favor of 'judicious" tariff, and its constitu-
tioao1ity, in order to impress upon those who
"swear by Gen. jackson" that they need not
fear they will go astray, if they vote for STU
dicious tariff"

GIDDINGs, of Ohio, is now, like Mr.. Benton,
after his defeat for Congress, detailing his Con-
gressional experience in lectures before the liter
ary associations of the different cities. The
Boston Bee contains long report of his speech
before the Fraternity association of that city,
from which we extract this interesting reminis-
cence:
In Congress, they sometimes had to make
speeches under great difficulties of which Mr..
G. gave an amusing illustration. In 1885, there
was an unfortunate man in the House from
Georgia, by the name of Black, who regarded
himself as the special champion of that State
and of the peculiar institution" When the
Indian bill was under consideration, he (Mr. GU
took occasion to refer to,the old matter of the
Creek Indians and the slaves that had been sto-
len by the Georgans; Mr.. Black took fire, and
made speech, in which he charged him with
stealing negroes, and ranking dress to his
wife. The Southern men gathered round him,
and spurred him on. When he had concluded,
he CMr. CD replied in mild terms, as would be
imagined; but Mr.. b. did not SO regard it, and
coming round to within four feet af him, with
his heavy sword cane in his hand said, "Repeat
that, and will knock you down." "WelI, u

FEMALE CoNYERsATIoN.

following opinion on
FEMALE CONVERSATION
Every woman, and every young lady, whose
heart and mind have been properly regulated,
is capable of exerting most salutary influence
over the gentlemen with whom she associates
a fact which has been acknowledged by the best
and wisest of men, and seldom disputed, except
by those whose capacities for judging have been
singularly perverted. A lady should always
seek to converse with gentlemen into whose So
ciety she may be introduced, with dignified
delicacy and simplicity, which will effectually
check, on their part, any attempt at familiarity;
but never should any thing be said or done that
may lead them to suppose that an attempt is be-
ing made to solicit their notice An instance
can scarcely be recalled of lady, either by d.
rect or indirect means, attempting to storm a
mans heart into admiration who did not thus
ettectually defeat her purpose.
1t a gentleman approach lady with words
OF tiattcry, and with profuse attentions, espe-
chilly after short acquaintance, no encoura-
ging smiles or words should be extended-for
tiattcrer can never be otherwise than an un.
profitable companion. tits better, by becon-
ing composure, to pass unnoticed, than, with
smiles and bushes, to disclaim flattery since
these are frequently considered-as they are
also too often intendcd-as encouragement for
further ctfusions of these "painted words."-
Such delicate attentions as well-bred and refined
gentlemen are DESTROYS of paying, may with pro-
priety be accepted, but they should never be
solicited, nor appear to be expected. Ladies,
not unfrequently, as kind of matter of course,
extend their hand to take gentleman's arm,
before he has made any offer of such civility,
but it is mark of familiarity not in keeping
with the best taste.
