Rome.

The anomalous position of the French in
Rome, where Gen. Goyon's chief business is
to repress those manifestations of JOY Mt the
success of the allied arms which are encnur-
aged in every possible way at Turin, Flor
ence and Milan, was indicated in quaint
phraseology, by telegram, which stated
that the commander-in-chiefo Of the army of
occupation had issued Il proclamation full
of nrbleness and severity" The following
il the text of this document, which has been
placarled at Rome in the French and Italian
languages
"NoTIcE.-A great joy yesterday filled
both your hearts and mine. This JOY would
have been greater still on my part if, in obe-
dience to a warning, admirably understood
hitherto, YOU had known how to check the
too demonstrative expression OF it. Let no
worker of disorder insinuate himself into
your ranks. Deprive malevolencc OF every
pretext, so that the repressive measures
which we may possibly be called upon to take
may not fall upon the friends OF the French
Believe, Romans, that silence Is painful for
me, and that, deprived as | am of the hap
pines of fighting by the side Of my brothers
in arms, it would have been most grateful to
nv feelings to have been able at least to cheer
them on. But if they at this moment bear
high the flag of France, here hold the flag
OF order, aud | will see it respected. That
also is noble flag.

REsoLurE YouNc LADIEs.-A few days
since, two young ladies OF Cleveland were
talking with some friends, who wished girls
now -a-days would take more exercise, and
not be SO weak and puny." Not agreeing
with this wholesale reproach upon Cleye-
land girls, one Of them remarked that there
were two things she wished especially to do
to 60 up in balloon and to take long
jaunt on foot and proposed to her companion
that they two should walk to UniOnyil!e,
Lake Ohio, forty-fye miles from Cleveland.
The proposal. which was at first made in fun,
was soon talked Of in earnest, and when one
present offered them $50 if they would walk
the distance in two days the offer was taken
readily, and the feat was actually accom-
plished. The next day, Saturday, they re-
turned to their homes by railroad, and claim
ed the $50 The feet Of one Of the pedes-

Scene in Court.

William Myers. who pleaded guilty in
December last. in Philadelphia, 10 Il charge
of passing forged check, WAS brought up
for sentence on Saturday. He was accom-
panied by his wife, who took her seat by him
near the dock. and. when he was called to
receive his sentence. her agitation was pain
ful to witness. Every nerve appeared to
quiver and when the Judge announced that
the term of Imprisonment was to be three
wears and six months in the Eastern Peni-
tertiary, low cry broke from her, and with
I'M effort she made her way through the
spectators To the railing in front of the Judge
and implorrd him to change the imprson
mcnt from the Eastern Penitentiary to the
County Prison. Judge Allison said that, in
passing this sentence, he WAS actuated by a
desire t" preserve the health of the prisoner;
that, rs his lungs were affected the County
Prison was the worst place for him: but if
they both desired it, he would grant the re-
quest for change of locality. Mrs. Myers
still persisted. and the Judge changed the
imprisonment in accordance with her wish.
Both Myers and his wife are quite young in
their appearance. and their unfortunate con
dition excited the pity fall present.

The Washington Constitution says, speak
ing of the recent discussion that has taken
place relative to naturalized citizens return
ing to Europe. that "it is one thing to an
nounce what the policy of Europe is con-
corning military service and similar obliga-
tions, and quite another thing to Justify 1t.
Our Government may fairly seek TO change
this policy by negotiation and treaty, but it
cannot announce the change until it has
been accomplished. 1t is obvious, from his
published letter to Mr. Hofer. that General
Cass has been engaged for some time in dis
GUESSING this subject with the German gov
ernments, with the very purpose OF obtain
ing greater facilities for our naturalized citi-
zens. 1t is chiefly with reference to Ger
many that the quostions in respect TO mill
tary service arise. They have no applica-
ton to Great Britain, and are seldom raised
in France Whenever they arise. they are
sure to be attentively regarded by the Gov
eminent of the United States"

A BULLDoG ATTACKING An ELEPHANT

trative of the fact that the bulldog is the
most courageous Of all animals and will at
tack any creature, regardless. Of size As the
elephant entered the water, with his usual
slow and cautious step, some individual in
the crowd, prompted by spirit of mis-
chief, hied on large bulldog to attack the
huge animal. The dog instantly obeyed,
and, plunging into the water, seized hold Of
one of the hind legs of the elephant, on which
the latter only switched him with his tail, as
he would brush off fly; but not Kidding him
self of his assalant by such gentle means,
and feeling sharp teeth at work upon his leg,
he suddenly threw his snout around and sci
zing the dog, held him under the water until
he was nearly drowned, then, raising him
high in the air, threw him ut least a hundred
feet out into the stream. Fully satisfied
with the punishment he had received, the
dog made his way to the shore, and beat a
hasty retreat"

THE SrY FLOWER AS PREVENTIVE OF

where he has planted sun flowers around his

fevers; his wife, two children and TWO house
servants, all had fevers, he not having plant
ed any of the sun flowers around his own
dwelling, which, in his opinion, accounted
for the difference in the result My opinion
is, that the sun flower in rank growth alb
serbs the very elements in the atmosphere
that produce levers or chills and fever, aud
what is the life Of the gun flower is highly
