The European War.

The return Of Louis Napoleon tc
Paris sometime in August is already
talked of, but as the Empcror's croE
of laurels thus far is one much too
meagre to add to his stock of popu
larity there, it is a warrantable in
ference that, between now and dog
days, he expects to fight the Austrians
on grander scale than Gen. Forcy
fought them at Montebcllo, and, com
ing off victorious, to return to the
Capital by the first train in "blazt
of glory"
The chivalric Garibaldi continues
to make a conspicuous figure. We
have report, via Berne, that he hat
suffered a reverse, but this is contra
dictcd by dispatches from Turin
There is some gossip to the effect thai
England and Prussia are about tc
make an effort conformity, for the res
toration of peace, but the becoming
time for the exercise of the mediator
al office on the part of these powers il
not now, but it may come after anoth
er battle or two have been fought.
The opinion is entertained in some
quarter that the sooner the Austrians
are driven out of Italy, the sooner will
the war be brought to conclusion
and hence every lover of peace, as
well as every hater of despotism,
prays that the arms of the allies may
be everywhere and always successful:
but serious drawback to that calcu
lation is the danger of German sym
patty and German armies coming in
at the eleventh hour to the rescue, and
thus inevitably converting the conflict
in Piedmont to war involving the
entire continent. In England the con.
viction was gaining strength that
Austria would be whipped out OF
Italy, and would have to stay ont.
The future is thus as dark and as
doubtful as ever. These preliminary
slaughterings settle nothing as yet,
except that more blood must be shed
and much more human life must be
sacrificed, before the sword is put
back in the scabbard.
The panic feeling in commercial
and financial centres appears to be
rapidly subsiding Money is plenty
and cheap. Cotton is higher In re-
gard to brcadstuffs, however, the news
is not very encouraging for those on
this side who are looking for foreign
demand for our flour and grain next
winter. The harvest never looked
better, and from present appearances,
the prospect would seem to be that,
war or no war, there will be no famine,
in Europe for this year at least.

where the soldiers and citizens quiet

But what is more, in the Austrian

The DoUBLE-HEADED GlRL.-A cores
pendent of the New York Evening
P3t confirms the story told of the cX-
istence of double-headcd girl in the
State of North Carolina. He says -
Zone year ago saw this child in
st. Louis, Missouri She is a slave
born in North Carolina. While an in
FAINT she was sold for one thousand
dollars. At the age of six or seven
years she was sold again for five
thousand dollars The owner took
the child to England and exhibited il
to hundreds of thousands in the old
world. The present owner bought
its mother, went to England, and insti-
tuted legal proceedings in the name
of the mother for the custody of the
child.
The resemblance which the child
bore to the mother was so strong that
the presiding judge directed it to be
given up to the mother, which was
done. The late owner then offered to
dcpositc in court fifty thousand dol.
lars to the credit of the mother if she
would commit the child to him again,
and remain with it herself, for, by the
laws of England, she and her child
were free ; but the offer was declined.
"What should ! do with so much
money!" said she. al wish to re-
turn with my child to North Carolina"
which she did by the way of New
York.

below the shoulder blade there is but
one spinal column; there are two
heads and nccks, two hearts and sets
of lungs, four arms and four lcgs-in

The two heads converse with each

GARIBALDls WTE.-Some of the
most interesting passages in Carl
baldi's life relate to his wife. He
married lady of extraordinary quail
ties, native of one of the States of
South America. She was trained to
horsemanship and, the most athletic
habits prevail among the females of
those countries. Though like him, no
ble-hearted, aflectionatc and disinter-
ested she also possesses a similar de.
gree Of personal courage and forti-
tude which have seldom been dis
played and still more rarely depicted
by any authentic pen. After her mar
riage she accompanied him in his bat
ties by sea and land and although
usually unarmcd and keeping at his
side only as his companion she some
times aided in his most desperate con-
tlicts, by dealing ont powder, loading
guns and even firing them at the enc
my. The suflcrings which she ell
dured among the mountains in times
of adversely and seasons of tempcsts
were severe and almost incredible.
The short account of her escape from
Brazilian guard after capture in an
engagement, ana he, journey of sev-
eral days and nights on horse back
and alone through wild forests, swim
ming swollen torrents by holding to
the name or the tail of her horse, is
exceeded only by the sad narrative of
her death in lS49 on the banks of the
Pc, when after resolutely accompany
ing Garibaldi on his retreat from Rome
she landed with him in one of the
boats in which he was seeking to
reach Venice, then the only place in
Italy which held out against the enc
