Population of Italy.

The Annuari Statistico Itaano for the year
1850 publishes the following details, which
are of much interest at the present mo-
ment
/" The population of Italy amounts to no
less than 27, ,O47 inhabitants They arc
divided into 10 circumscriptions- eight, con-
tanning 19 1913, 800 souls, are under Italian
governments; and seven, with population of
7,193,74 obey foreign rule. 1t contains 10
provinces and 1S, ,1O2 communes, and is one
of the countries in which the largest cities and
towns are to be found, 10 Of them having
more than 1000 inhabitants. and 8 (Rome,
Naples, Palermo, Venice, Florence, Milan,
Genoa and Turin,) exceed 100000. Almost
all the population are Roman Catholics, the
number of those who profess other Christian
creeds only amounting to 36,676, and the
Jews to Al ,407. The births far exceed the
deaths; the increase in the population is par
tcuarly, remarkable in Sicily and Tuscany,
where it may double in 73 years. Italy alone
has very nearly one-half as many bishoprics
as there are in thu whole of Europe 25G
out of $50. The average is 10000 Catholics
for each diocese, and in the Roman States
there is one bishop for every 100000 The re
gular and secular clergy Of both sexes count
in Italy 5000, and they are, as compared
with the population as to 242. The clergy
are more numerous in Sicily than in any 9th
er part of Italy, or perhaps in the world, the
number of priests, monks and nuns nc'hg

are nearly 800 journals published in Italy, OF
which number III are in the Sandman states

total population. One of the principal branch

Smith O'Brien Oh Hand Shaking.

In late reception speech at Albany, Smith
O'Brien said
OF one practice that is prevalent with you,
| wish to say word. 1t is that of shaking
hands. Since my arrival l have been sur
rounded by crowds of well wishers, whose
greatest desire seemed to be to have shake
hands with me. In Ireland this practice does
not prevail; but here it seems to be univer-
sal custom. | may have offended some by
neglcctng to observe it, and of such, if any
there be, | beg pardon. am lover of Ia
bor and the friend of laborcrs, and would as
readily shake hands with the poor man as with
the rich but this shaking of hands so often,
| have found to be beyond my physical abi-
ty. | assure you that on one occasion recent
ly, found it so extremely laborous, that
after having thus recognized very large
crowd of friends, was literally unable to hold
up my head. hope therefore, that not one
of you will be offended because of my short
comings in this respect on the present occa-
sion but if there is one, who has taken Of
fence on this account, | can only hope that he

of shaking hands. He will then learn what

it up, and be more lenient towards those who
forego it from sheer exhaustion. Men in the
habit of welding daily, a sledge-hammer that
weighs twenty-five or thirty pounds, come
and shake hands, and | assure you the
squeeze is like that of vice. In this respect,
am not soliciting your forbearance so much
for myself, as for your public men. Wher-
ever | have gone, the multitudes have wished
for, plx, inf
world, but through all eternity. Although
am "heretic," these wishes have been
most warmly expressed by Catholic citizens
as we'll by the natives of this country, as by
the adopted, and it may be that their good
wishes will carry me through this world, and
a good way through Purgatory. daughter.
But, however this may be, | return to one
and all of you, with my whole heart, the kind
ly wishes that have been so lavishly shower
ed upon me by the American people. bid

Neck TWisting.,3

There are practices tolerated in religious
congregations which Christians who are ieal-
Gus for the honor of their Masters house
should utterly condemning, and for the rea-
son the house of God should never be dis
turbed by the slightest approath to irrever-
ence- 1T is part Of my religion, y said pi-
Gus OLD lady, when asked why she went early
to churchill is a part of my religion not to
interrupt the religion of Others" And we be-
heve if many country congregation made a
part OF their religion not to twist their knees
almost OF joint to witness the entrance of ev-
cry person who passes up the aisle of the
meeting house, it would be better for both
their necks and their religion. A gross abuse
of religious decOrum sometimes need harsh
medicine as remedy.
We 90 not know whether it would be pro-
per for some Of our good ministering brethren,
who are sorely tried by the neck-twisting pro.
pensities Of their congregations, to use that
adopted by Henry Clay Dean, who was one
time chaplain of Congress, but we give it for
their consideration-of course, to adopt or re-
ject as they please. The anecdote is FROM a
Pacific Methodist
Being worried one afternoon by the turn
ing Praatice in his congregation, Mr., Dean
st0Dnad IN his sermon, and said
+" Now, you listen to me, and I'll tell you
who the people are as each one of them comes
in"
He then proceeded on with his discourse
until gentleman entered, when he bawled
out like an usher. "Deacon A., who keeps a
shop over the way" and then went on with
his Serm:a.
Pre-, .iiy some one entered the door who
was unk'swn to Mr.. Dean, when he cried out
"a little old man with drab coat and an
old white hat don't know him--look for
yourselves.
That congregation was cured.

Men are re- not ali icons constituted tit With Ike tho

trends of Mr.! North, in this vicinity, concede
70 Noy Ramsey much the better administra-
9ye talent while they claim, as ;steadfastly,
that Mr. North has far the, better legislative
talent; and they would like SO to arrange it as
TO make Ramsey Governor and send North
cSpecia! reference has been made berein to
Mr.. North, because, in your vicinity, he has
strong friends, and many Of them. r..
Gov. Ramsey was the standard bearer in
the last contest-the Republicans believe they
honestly carried the election, but were de-
frauded by the State Canvassers-they have
preferred to appeal directly to the people in
stead OF to Pro-Slavery Court-anda they
owe it to themselves to make that appeal up
on tho same candidate. Gov. Ramsey is that
candidate. Hewas then considered the strong.
est and best man in the State to rally around.
He has certainly done nothing to forfeit the
standing he then occupied /; and he, therefore,
should be the next candidate-not for his sake,
so particularly, as for the sake of the Party
for his special friends say, if his wishes are
consulted, he will not be a candidate at all
for any place. . ..a...
have thus embodied what believe to be
the very generally prevailing sentiment of the
Republicans with whom have conversed on
the subject. And to me the positions seem
to be strong and we'll taken, and should be
the guide of the State Convention. ID.

Grape culture in California.

a correspondent of the n. Y. Tribune, at
San Francisco says:
| condense from the statistics of the Me-
chanics' Institution, and the address of Mr.
Banks, of this city, the following important
remarks:
Almost every mock and corner of our en-.
tire State is admirably adapted to the growth
of the grape, In France, a first-rate of
grapes is 5000 pounds to the acre, while
1900 pounds is regarded as fair crop In
the grape growing districts along the Ohio
river, where superior grape is produced,
5000 pounds is considered very large crop
1000 to 5000 is regarded as good aver
age but in California, the ordinary crop is
from 10000 to $1,000 pounds to the acre,
and more is not unusual In, the old world,
and in the Atlantic States, the crop fire.
quently falls on account Of froSts and dis
ease; here it is sure to yield abundantly.-
There the vine most generally be supported
by poles; here it stands without artificial
aid. Therea large amount of cultivation is
costly here it can be had for almost nothing :;
here, during the vintage, we have an un-
clouded sky. The returns of last year show
the grape crop to have been 81 900 tons, and
the wine product 100000 gallons, besides a.
large quantity of brandy.

The other day, we were told, in contrast
with this, that the present Emperor was able
to send twenty-five thousand men in day
from Paris to Lyons-a distance of about
three hundred miles. 1t would have taken
his uncle week Of forced marches to accom-
plIsh the same object. Austria is sending
troops into Italy at the sanse rate Moreover,
the same power which renders this rapid con-
centration OF troops renders their subsistence,
While concentrated, just as easy. The rail-
road dumps the soldiers now-a-d days down on
the battle field, and the next day dumps down
a months provisions in their rear. The tele-
graph, we need hardly say, plays as wonder
full part in this change as the railruad.-
One of Napoleon's generals would have re-
quired four or five days to ask for reinforce
ment, which he now asks. for in as many
minutes. 1t reaches him il as many hours
as 1t would then have taken days.
The destructiveness of the changes, which
these new instruments are likely to introduce
into warfare has not, Sc far, attracted as
much attention as it ought, because within
the last thirty years we have had no wars in
the parts OF the world in which since could
render the soldier efficient; and what science
has done in that interval to make war more
sanguinary will only appear when the sword
is drawn in countries like Italy and Germany,
which are blessed, or cursed, with all the
modern improvements" Having armed the
combatants with the means of destroying
life all around him at distance of thousand
yards, it hurls him against his foe at the rate
of thirty miles an hour There is an abyss
Of human misery revealed by even ten min
utes' reflection on such theme as this, which
no one who has ever seen war even in the
most harmless aspect can cunteinplafe with
out shudder.-E Y Eoe. Post

TRUTH.
BY WILLIAM MAYNARD.

1mpromptu verses, written on the stump of an
ncient oak by youthful typo, while on tramp
Let Truth prevail, Its standard bright
Unfurl aloft in Truths pure light
Mild Truth, our glorious motto ever be
And all our aspirations rise in praise to thee.
God, the giver of all good gifts below,
Attune our lips with words of purest flow;
Exat fair Truth above all meaner things
While TO thy praise, harmonious Nature sings
Ehus, Trash! mount high, and triumph's oven
might;
So shall our blessings crown thee while write
Thro all the intricate paths of duty guide us;
angel Truth. with thy sweet cords do bind us.
Methinks see thee O 'er Atlantics git'ring deep,
In one grand stride, majestic sweep;
Hur from their high places that vain glorious lew,
And thus give tyrants cause their deeds to rue.
Hail lit Truth of radcnt brow
Though language plain salute thee now,
The time may come when the muse S string,
May with sweet, heavenly melody ring.

Direct our feet from treacherous pits unseen;
And Ger our failings thy white mantle throw,
To guide US safely through this world Of woe.

and having left him in charge of the Sub-Pre-
feet, took gendarme along with me, and
went to the factory. Monsieur Cazaubon
was surprised to see me back soon but he
was more surprised when asked him TO take
walk with me; when l called in the gen
darme, and babe him put the hand-cufs upon
the agent, he was ready to sink in the floor.
We had secured him before he had sense
enough to resist, land he was carried to the Office
of the ub-Prefect without trouble. At first he
denied everything; but when he found that
this would not avail, he swore he would kill
the boy.
In due time Monsieur Louis Cazaubon was
tried and condemned to death; and the
Project of Digne took possession of the infer
nalmachine. Before the villain was executed
he confessed his crilnes-told how many
years he had work to perfect his fatal instru
ment and produced the poison-and also
owned that the boy Henry had been driven
to help him through fear ofhis life.
So the rascal was executed. Henry Dupin
spent two years in confinement, and was then
set free, and commenced an honest life. As
for Inc, got all the praise l deserved, and
perhaps more. At all events, I:had done the
country some service, and the people were
not slow to acknowledge it.

THE LOST BIRD.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Translated from the Spanish of Caroline Cor
onade de Perry.
Nv bird has flow II away,
Far oft of sight has ilown know not where:
Look in your lawn, pray,
lie muidenS, kind and fair
And see if my beloved bird be there.
His eyes are full of light;
The Eagle of the rock has such an eye;
And plumcS, exceeding bright,
On his smooth temples lie,
And sweet his voice and tender as sigh.
Look where the grass is gay
With Summer blossoms; haply there ne covers;
And search, from spray to spray,
The leafy laurel bowers,
Scr well he loves the laIreis and the flowers.
Find him. but do not dwell,
With eyes too fond, on the fair form you see
Nor love his song too well;
Send HIM at once, to me,
Or leave hlm to the air and liberty.
For only from my hand
He takes the seed into his golden beak,
And all unwiped shall stand
The tears that wet my cheek,
Till | have found the wanderer l seek.
Nv sight is darkened DER;
NheEe'er | miss his eyes, that are my day,
And, when hear no more
The music of his lay,
Ny soul, in utter sorrow, faints away.
