THs KING OF PRUSSIA has not been much
improved by the skies of Italy" if we may
credit the following account from Florence
correspondent, of his eccentric behavior at the
dinner table:
"Ihe Royal patient was perfectly sane all
day, received his guests, chatted, laughed aud
was quite jolly the dinner was announced, the
comrany marched in, the King of course took
his place at the head of the table, and every body
waited for him to set the example to put their
spoons in their mouths. But instead of doing
what was expected of him, his Majesty delib-
erately washed his face in the soup, and then
sat cOmplacently smiling on his friends, the
long strings of vermicelli hanging down over
his eyes and nose, and his hair and moustache.
You may imagine the effect; no one dared to
laugh, however, and they had to sit out the
dinner with this ridiculous fgure-head covered
with gravy, Qor he stefnly refused towels,)
talking to them all the while"

CHURCH Music IN New YoRk-THz RIVAL
CHOIRs--Ths New York CORRESPONDENT of
DWightsJ sJournal of Music, "rroyator. ,. speak
Ing Of St. Stephens church in 18th street, says:
'-Between this church and that Of st. Fran
els Zsvier IN 10Th street, there exists q kind of
musical rivalry. The pastor Of the former, Rev.
Mr Cummings, Is man Of excellent educa-
ton, and, during a recent visit to Europe, he
obtained quantity of rare music for the use
Of his choir. Coletti, the basso, formerly cf
various operatic companies, sings here, and
Miss Sconcia, daughter of well known music
teacher OF our city, is, Tor was till recently, J
the first soprano, while the other singers ali
possess great merit. The music sung BY this
choir is OF a varied character. Donizstta's on
eras Especially his Fsyorita) are often dissect-
ed snd pressed into service, and the rendition
OF the various morceaux would do justice to any
operstic troupe extant.
THE Church of st. Francis Zavier familiar
ly known as the Jssuits' church) does not DOS
ssss such fne ensemble Of singers, but there
is one lady-Miss Hadley, I believe is her
name-who has one of the most angelic voices
IL is possible to hear. There is a rich sympa-
thetic pathos in 1t that have never heard sur
passed either on or of the stage, and many at
tend the church solely to listen TO its exquisite
melody. Then they have Mr. Berge as organ
ist at the Jesuit's church-and such On organ
ist. You would think, to hear him, that b,

tseems scarcely possible that a single individ-
ual could produce such brilliant orchestral ef-
fects, even out Of that prince Of instruments
the organ. Mr.. Berge is, without doubt, tho
most effective organ player Of the horid style
that We have in the city. He is also prolific
composer, writing almost all the music sung by
his choir HIS compositions are Of the italian
school, and would coon give him an emine Mt
reputation as q composer, did he not retain
them for the exclusive use of his own church
and choir. As whole, il is difficult to decide
0 TO whether st. Stephens or the Jesuits
Church is entitled to the palm for superiority
in music. They are each crowded eyery sun
day by strangsrs-Protestants as we'll as Cath
olics-aDd the music is superior (of its styIelto

ADULrERArIoS OF EGGs.-The public has
lately heart much about the adulteration of
various kinds OF food, and yet it is not aware
that large proportion of the eggs that are
now being eaten in London are what is called
"pickled eggs" This picking" is done
during summer, while eggs are at q low price,
by mixing lime and water in casks and filling
the casks with eggs, permitting them to lie
four or six months in this hot lime mixture,
thus destroying all the natural favor and nu.
tritlve power of the cggs, rendering them in
sipid to the taste and impregnaied with a
strong decoction Of lime, which is injurious to
the stomach Pickled eggs look very white
and clean, resembling new-laid eggs, and are
sold in winter, when good fresh eggs are scarce
aud dear. They may be known by the follow.
ing signs: The feel Of the she'll is rough, from
sometimes part Of the lime not having been
quite washed of; they feel cold and damp, as
the life Of the egg is destroyed and partly
wasted inside, whereas q good egg is always
dry to the touch, life existing in IL. Through
lime gas in picked eggs they often burst when
put into boiling water, and win always be
found partly empty, or with a few drops of
lime-water in them, when cooked.

the wife Of his hospitable friend had, upon his
invitation, visited him in his chambers, while
her husband was absent. He denied upon
oath that he had been guilty Of any criminal
Intimacy with her; still, the facts he admitted
clearly showed that there was some reason for
Mr.: Capron's excitement. The jury, however,
had to fad that Mr.. Mowbray Morris was as,

threw himself back in TIE saddle, and thus
began his exordium, gracefully gesticulating

a MURDER REVEALED BY DREAN.-Ami-
raeulous discovery of horrible murder is 70.
lated by Belgian journal of recent date. of
which We make summary:
Two brothers, jews, set out from Gyrek with
a view OF placing their two daughters at board
ing school in the town of Grossw ardein. During
the night OF their absence, the youngest daugh-
ter, aged ten, who was left at home, woke up
her mother suddenly during the night and cry
ing bitterly, declared that she saw her father
and uncle, and all being murdered. The mo-
ther, for sons time, took no notice of the child s
deelaration; but, as she persisted, and would
not be pacifed, she began to be alarmed her
sell, and the next morning took the child be-
fore the Mayor Of the town, to whom abe de.
ciared her dream, stating at the same time that
the murderers were two mon living in the
neighborhood, whom she deliberately pointed
out, and added that the murder was committed
Grosswardein.
The Mayor, after receiving this revelation,
thought 1t prudent to make Inquiry after the
two neighbors, indicated by tho child, when,
singular enough, they were discovered to be
absent from home. This suspicious circum-
stance induced the Mayor to dispatch some
officers to the forest alluded to by the child,
who discovered the horrible spectacle of ave
bodies extended on the ground, which were
those OF the two bsOthers, the two daughters
and the drivers Of the vehicle in which they ali
took their departure. The corpses appeared
to have been set on fire, so as to destroy their
identity, and the vehicle was nowhere discoy.
cred. This horrifed tragedy led the officers to
examine the whole neighborhood, when they
fortunately pounced upon the two neighbors at
fair not far distant, as they were in the very
act OF changing some notes on which some spots
OF blood were visible. On being seized they
Immediately confessed their crime, and on the
child dream being revealed to them, anknou-

t9re This wonderful dream on the part of
the child, and its fulflment, excited an i'm
