Conspiracy against the King Of Sartli-
nia-PlOt to Assassinate GaribaIdi.

The Eco d'Halaa of March II contains a
remarkable statement, of which the follow-
ing is a translation:
From private letters coming to US from
Milan, dated Feb. 18th, we learn that the
police of Milan have just discovered an
atrocious scheme, the object of which was
to assassinate Victor Emmanuel on the occa-
sion of his entry into the capital of Lom-
hardy. One of the conspirators, certain
Count Brambila, the same who, in 1910,
distracted the golden medals from the
Gregorian Museum, was arrested, and on his
person were found suspicious documents and
large sums of money, designed for the Pom
ti6cal Court. Other conspirators, all AUS
TRANS, are in the hands of the police.
By another correspondence we are assured
that the indefatigable Farina has discovered
a vast conspiracy, organized by various off,
cials and aided by the anti.Napoleon party
of France. The interrupted correspondence
shows that the conspirators intended to
make use Of the dagger and of poison in
carrying out their schemes. One of the in
tended victims was General Garibaldi. The
Courts of Naples and Rome were ignorant
of the conspiracy, but would have been in.
formed Of it. The director of this plot was
an Infamous ruffiian of the ex-Duke of
Modena, one Virginia Alpi of Forli, the
very type of the desperate assassin.

The United States claim to own more than 600 00
acres Of unsettled lands.-Senate Docwmenss XX1IVN
Congress.
A billion of acres of unsold land
Are lying in grievsus desrth;
And millions Of men in the image OF God
Are starving all over the earth!
0 tell me, ye sons of America,
How much mems lives are WORTH
Ten hundred millions of acres good,
That never knew spade or plow-
And million Of souls in our goodly land
Are pining in want, trOw;
And orphans are crying for bread this day,
And widows in misery bow.
To whom do these acres of land belong!
And why do they thriftless lie?
And why is the widows lament unheard?
And stifled the orphans cry2
And why are the po0rhouse and prison full!
And the gauows-tree built on high?
Those millions Of acres belong to man!
And his claim is-that he NEEDS;
And his title is signed by the hand OF God
Our God, who the raven feeds.
And the starving soul OF each furnishing man
At the throne Of Justice pleads.
Ye may not heed it, ye naughty men,
Whose hearts as rocks are cold;
But the time will come when the fiat of God
In thunder shall be told
For the voice of the great AN hath said
That the "land shall not be s0ld!"

Mr.. Davis. Several Southern Senators
around have spoken to me to the effect that
in each of their States the protection il
secured, and q suit may be instituted at
common law for assault and battery, to pro-
tect negro as well as white man. The
condition of slavery with us, in word, Mr..
President, is nothing but the form of civil
government instituted for class Of people
not fit to govern themselves.
1t is exactly what in every State exists in
some form or other. 1t is Just that kind of
control which is extended in every North
ern State over its c0nvicts, its lunatics, its
minors, its apprentices. 1t is but form of
civil government for those who are not to
govern themselves. We recognize the fact
OF the inferiority stamped upon that race of
men by the Creator, and from the cradle
TO the grave, our government, as a civil
institution, marks that inferiority. In their
subject and dependent state, they are not
objects OF cruelty, as they would be if left to
tne commission OF crime, incarcerated ia
penitentiaries and warehouses, and put I'M
der hired overseers, having no interest in
them and no relation to them, no utilization
growing out of the associations of childhood
and the tender care of age. Is there moth.
ing of the balm needed in the Senator's
own State, that he must needs 90 abroad
to seek objects for his charity and philan-
thropy? What will he say of those masses
IN New York now memorializing for some,
thing very like an agrarian law? What
will he say to the throngs of beggars who
crowd the streets of bis great commercial
emporium? What will he say to the multi.
tudes collected in the penitentiaries and
prisons of his own State?
seek not, sir, to inquire into the policy
and propriety of the institutions of other
States; l assume not to be judge of their
fitness it belongs to the community to
judge, and l know not under what difficult
ties they may have been driven to what 1
cannot approve; but never, sir, in all my
life, have | seen anything that so appealed
to humanity and manliness, as the suffering
of the poor children imprisoned in your
juvenile Observation-Disclosures before
they were old enough to know the nature
of crime-there held to such punishment as
we never infict save upon those of mature
years. I arraign you not for this; l know
not what your crowded population and in
creasing wants may demand l know not
how far crime follows in the footprints of
misery know not how far the parents
have become degraded, and how far the
children have become outcast, and how far
it may have devolved on the State to, take
charge of them but, I thank my God that
in the state of society where I reside, we
have no scenes so revolving as these.
Why then not address yourselves to the
evils which you have at home? Why not
confine your inquiries to the remedial mea-
sures which will relieve the suffering of and
stop the progress of crime among your own
people? Very intent in looking into the
distance for the mote in your own brothers
eye, is it to be wondered that we turn back
and point to the beam in your eye?

Important to Church Goers.

From the n Y. Times.
In the City Hall Park recently, an in.
ventive genius had on exhibition a contriv-
ance for the benefit of those hard of hear
ing, which attracted the attention of the
ever curious crowd. The instrument was
nothing less than great reservoir for the
collection of sound, connected with q series
of distributing pipes for conveying to many
different ears at once. 1t is designed for
use in churches, one of which, in this city,
has already adopted it. The funnel-shaped
vessel is placed before the pulpit, and
catches the words as fast as they drop from
the speakers lips. From the bottom of the
funnel pipes are laid beneath the floor to the
various parts of the house occupied by
those whose hearing is defective, and these
terminate in earpieces attached to the side
of the pew.
The inventor did not explain whether
these extremeties are furnished, like gas
burners, with stop cocks to enable the hear
er to turn off" the sermon when the odor
of any part thereof becomes Objectionable.
1t is to be presumed, however, that such an
arrangement is furnished, so that the
amount of spiritual light which each auditor
requires may be easily regulated by him
self. Of course, in this event, verbome~
ter should be provided for each pew, that
no man may be called upon to pay for more
preaching than he actually consumes. From
this new invention a light seems to dawn
upon the progress of church conveniences.
For many who now stay away from church,
because they are too lazy to 60 or too poor
to afford fitting apparel, can have the
"gospel brought to their own door," In
fact, the adoption of the new contrivances
would save everybody the necessity of leav-
ing home to hear the sermon.
The laying of mains" from the various
churches through the principal streets would
furnish all an opportunity to introduce
" preaching" into their houses as conve.
niently as they now introduce water or gas,
doing away, perhaps in some instances, with
necessity of the latter element altogether.
Not least among those benefited BY the
adoption Of this plan would be the clergy
man himself, who could preach the church
reservoir full at bis convenience through the
week, and hoist the gate at the proper time
on Sunday. Nor should so useful an inven-
ton be confined to the use Of churches alone.
Great reservoirs might be made throughout
the city, replenished by conduits from ward
rooms, corner groceries, and other centres
of public discussion, and having pipes
leading to ear pieces in the Common Goun.
Gil chamber.
Had this plan been in operation during
the late two months of mud, the complain
ing cries that went up from the whole city,
centering in the Council Chamber, would
have made din that the city fathers must
have silenced by granting the clamorous Pc
tition for cleaner streets before they could
have proceeded with their own snug coun.
sells Of personal plumber. That the denizens
of the City Hall, when once this invention
is brought to their notice, will speedily
adopt it, no one can doubt who has observed

passage from Macao for Havana, with 1000
coolies, was the scene of terrible mutiny,
in which 30 coolies were killed and 80
wounded. The fight lasted from six A. M.
till daylight next morning, when the coolies
yielded. Captain Major had his wife and
two daughters, and also lady passenger
and child on board. The lady passenger
died Of fright, and her child expired soon
afterwards.

artist was assisted by G. w. P. Curtis, ESQ.,, in
the study for this composition.
But waves of almost q century have
drifted by, and borne the fair, blushing
bride and her lover to the tomb. Their dust
has, long since, mingled with the genial soil
of Mount Vernon, and, hereafter, if we
would find memorials of them, we must seek
them there. And the time never will come
when their home and final resting place will
not send thrill of pure feeling to every
generous heart.

The Seducer and his Victim.

From Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's Sermons
The seducer! Playing upon the most
sacred affection, he betrays innocence.
How? By it's noblest faculties by its
trust; by its unsuspecting faith; by its
honor. TIE victim, often and often, is not
the accomplish so much as the sufferer, be-
trayed by an exorcism which bewitch her
noblest affections to become the suicide of
her virtues! The betrayer, for the most
intense sel6shness, without one motive, with
out one pretense of honor-by lies by a
devilish jugglery of fraud by binding the
eyes, confusing the conscience, misleading
the judgment. and instilling the dew Of
sorcery upon every flower of sweet affection
deliberately, heartless damns the con6ding
victim Is there one shade of good inten.
ton, one gIinmering trace of light? Not
one. There was not the most shadowy,
tremulous intention of honor. 1t was a
sheer, premeditated, wholesale ruin, from
beginning to end. The accused sorcerer
opens the door of the world to push her
forth. She looks out all shudderiDg; for
there is shame and sharp toothed hatred,
and chattering SANDER, and malignant envy,
and triumphing jealousy, and old revenge
these are born but will not kill. And
there is for her want. and poverty, and gaunt
famine. There is the world spread out she
sees father and mother heartlessly abandon
ing her, brothers shame, sisters anguish.
It is q vision of desolation plumber ed
home, and altar where honor and purity and
peace have been insidiously sacrificed to the
foul Moloch. All is cherries to the eve,
and her ear catches the sounds of signing
and mourning, walls and laments and far
down, at the horizon of the vision, the murky
cloud for q moment lifts, and she sees the
very bottom of infamy, the ghastliness of
death, the spasm Of horrible departure, the
awful thunder of final doom. ALI this
trembling, betrayed creature sees through
the open door Of the future and with
voice that might move the dead, she turns
and clasps his knees, in awful agony !:
Leave me not Oh! spare me-save me
cast me not away!" Poor thing-she
is dealing with demon! Spare her? Save
her? The polished scounderel betrayed her
to abandon her, and walks the street to
boast hellish deed 1t becomes him thus,
as the wolf, to seek the bleeding lamb. Oh,
nv soul believe it not What sight is
that? The dropping victim is worse used
than the Internal destroyer! He is fondled.
