Is this a play, where King and Queen,
Churchmen and Knights and Peasants wage
Their war ! It's like . living scene,
Each piece an actor on life's stage.
The Queen, like E~ugiand's royal dame,
Steps forth in regal poinp aud pride
Her Consort's part is rather tame.
He's always safer by her side.
The Rocks are strongholds in distress
Where Knight and Bishop strive ir. vain
TO aid the Kins-and dangers p,cSs
The Lasties-and is safe agaip.
The stately Bishop moves along
His course, 10 right or lcr.. is clear;

MISCELLANEOUS
ANECD0TE OF R0ssINI.

Tho Paris correspondent Of the National
lntcilisenccr' thus relates An anecdote OF the
famous musical composer:
Apropos of popular sentiment in the Ro'
magma, YOU NAV not quarrel, perhaps, with an
anecdote of Rossini. 4 native of this part OF the
papal territory. The veteran master declares
that his fellow-countrymen are unchanged at
heart since the gay days of his youth, when
he was happy TO play u good trick upon al
austrian General. The adventure, related by
himself a few evenings ago at his house in Pa
-iS. is given to YOU second hand, but You may
rest quite assured Of there being no betraya!
of confidence. The conversation had turned
upon the war, and, as usual, many All old bat

tempt of Murat. in 1915, occupied Bologna
Eosiini had cmigra:ed thither from his native
village Of Pesaro. in the adjoining legation,
and had been ut work in his new abode
upon the '.i;arber of Seville" Some time be-
fore the arrival of the .Austrians he had
won the peoples heart by a superb national

therefore, of necessity, TO lcavc the country.
But to DO this WAS now impossible without an

EXPENSES OF THE WAR TO FRANCE.

The expenses of the war are already enor'
NOUS, and few Frcachmcn have any concep-
ton of them. Independently Of the money spent
in France, OH the increased army and navy,
the purchase Of provisions and stores, besides
their conveyance to Italy, the reconstruction of
the materieL, making new equipments, buying
horses, railway fares, and almost and iniinity
of other items of cost, there are sent daily from
Marseilles 5000, 900 francs in specie, or
el20, 000. This makes Ga, 00o,n 900 annually.
1t is not likely that the expectation Of money
to this amount can last; but, if it should, we
shall scarcely err in estimating the cost Of the
war at $50, 200, 900 a year. If we remember
that for every 59f. the State receives on loan,
it has to incur a debt of l00f. it would make
the real expenditure !el35, 600, 900 a year; for
France cannot pay the expenses Of war out OF
the ordinary receipts Of taxation.
The demand for merchant shipping appears
to be upon the increase. Orders have been re-
ceived to freight at MaSeilles 2d,5OO tons
monthly. OF this nearly 10000 tons will he
required for the conveyance Of hay alone, Tor
only a common screw press is employed to
compress the hay, the authorities regarding
the hydraulic press as being too intricate, and
the hay consequently takes up an enormous
quantity of space. The remaining $500 tons
arc required for oats, flour. and other stores.
This tonnage is independent of what is pro-
vided by the government transports and steam
frigateS. So great are the requirements that
90, 000f (fS0O) have been paid to freight a
| steamer for one voyage to Genoa.

Parson Brownlow, in anticipation of the

press his jubilation in Il very impressive man.
ner. Here is his programme:
The excitement increases in Virginia daily.
and the cause of Goggin gains ground in every
part of the State. We really begin to count
upon his election. \ more gallant, patriotic
and meritoriouS man than he never ran for
office in the Old Dominion. IL he shall DC
successful, we must pull up trees, tear down
houses, march in procession in Knoxville, and
get on a general bust"
Now, We know of at least one politician in
this city, who was so excited by the first telc-
graphic news from Virginia, that he went
through the streets communicating his rabies
to every one nc met, and succeeded in getting
up such a Gogsin furore that a corpulent
Democrat, who has a strong pcnchant for coons,
did a handsome days business by following
our excited friend, and hiving a pretty big SUN,
on Letcher against Gogsin-two to one. The
worst part of the story was, that when the
next news reached this city, the enthusiastic
old Wing, u perfectly honest zcalot, was
charged by the losers with playing the part of
