He was the oldest son and therefore the hope
of the family. For some years he has had bo-
ney tumorl growing on the inside of his left leg,
above the knee. He wished before leaving home
to have it removed, but his mother was unwill-
ing and he waited Since coming to Due West
it began to become more troublesome, and he
became anxious to have it removed; which was
done at his request, by DR.. Branch, Archer, and
Miller, on the 9th inst. The operation was skill
fully performed, but the shock upon the system
was very great Derangement Of the stomach,
and then of the bowels, ensued, which resulted in
death, just one week after the operation had been
performed.
Mr. Hanks was an amiabe and clever young
man and his death is greatly lamented by all
who knew him here. His body was placed in
charge of three of his fellow students from Ala,
who have gone to bear it home, that it may be
deposited in the family buryiDg ground.
AN ambassador of high character, long a
resident at the court of st. James, speaking Of
the 'silent Emperor Of the French-the enig-
matical and MOTTO be-penetrated LOUIS NApo-
LEoN-says:
$50 long ago as 1888, LOUIS NAPOLEON, who
was necessarily occupied, on being asked by the
Baron de s., with whom he was intimate, the
nature Of his employment, replied, Preparing
myself to be ruler of France. The elder branch
of the Bourbons has been expelled as incapable !;
the younger cannot long remain, such is their
folly, and the Empire must, therefore, return
shall, on coming to the throne, decentralize
France, liberalize the Government, and after
wards attend to the material interests of the
people, which the first Emperor had not time to
do"
Again by another, what is said to be his lead
ing peculiarity-his silent tact-is thus des.
cribed:
Amidst q whole nation of takers, Louis Ma
poleon is silent. Conscious of his inability to
cope in argument with many even Of those about
him, he listens quietly to what they have to say,
and follows in the end his own intuitive decision.
This power of holding his tongue has done him
good service. 1t deepened the impression of his
stupidity, which threw his adversaries off their
guard; and, now that his reputation is gained,
he seems to the vulgar

"A Florence correspondent of the Newark
Advertiser, speaking of the universal joy felt in
Tuscany when it became known that king EN-
MANUEL accepted their vote of annexation to Sar-
dinia, after telling how thousands of tri-color
flags in the day time and brilliant illuminatons
in the night announced that joy, says:
Indeed, illuminations and banners are the first
Italian signals Of success as if host Of angels
protecting the national cause, unfurled their
tinted wings and futtered over the palpitating
patriots all the hopeful day, and at night still
manifested their guardian presence by the beam
ing of myriad starry eyes. And an Italian illu
minaton, be it known, is no ordinary sight, at
least when the occasion is On important one
They excel here in picturesque devices Of every
sort; Italian confectionery even is an art in its
way; but, when great national idea is to be
expressed, or an event celebrated, native inge-
nuity becomes almost genius in its invention Of
speaking emblems. Thus one reads the inner
language of the national heart in the divers
graceful and beautiful forms into which the
three -colored lights of these illuminations are
woven in many instances they are really char
acters in which popular aphorisms shine out
from the midst of starry flowers. Turin illumi-
nations have always been famous for expensive
ness and magnifcence Who does not remember
of having his eyes dazzled in childhood even by
pictures Of some great illumination at Turin p
Nor are the Florentines much behind their Nor
thern brothers in either the mania or genius for
illumination.
We give below the sentiments and opin.
ion of the London Times on the annexation of
Savoy and Nice to France that is, JOHN BULL 8
growl:
We have made up our minds to allow Savoy
and Nice to 60 to France and to be content with
any securities or palliatives which negotiation
may succeed in procuring; but we have by no
means made up our minds to be compelled to ad-
NIT that this annexation is natural and equit-
able transaction, effected with the consent of the
population, consummated under the auspices of
the majority of the great powers, parties to the
treaties of 1916, and approved by every one e1-
cept only old fashioned people who are behind
their age.
On the contrary, We claim to speak the voice
of the whole civilized world when we say that
every honest man, of every country, looks upon
this act as one of spoliatou and Of wrong. In
principle, it is as bad as march upon the Rhine
or sudden attempt upon Antwerp. Fortu-
nately, its importance is not equal to its fagl-
tiousness in principle. This act must leave upon
every mans mind conviction that there is no
safety, except in continual watchfulness and
armed preparation against the aggressions of
sovereign who thus seizes upon the possessions
of friendly power. Europe allows the deed to
pass upon the principle of the Roman law, that
sDe minimis non curat pretor.' Having allowed
it to pass it has always been our advice to let it
20 without i'll words or angry remonstrances.-
But when the Emperor challenges approval and
talks of equity, and claims the assent of Europe
to his act it is necessary to protest loudly that,
although we submit, we also condemn.
We love always to honor the man, living
or dead, who has offered his life for his country.
When we pass him we are inclined to uncover
our head to him, as one whose acts have been
worthy of our admiration. If this be so of the
common soldier, how doubly true Of the brave
