A Washington correspondent thus speaks OF
Mr. sickle's appearance in the House ;
"There is general stir among the fairer
portion of the audience MS Mr.. Sickes
saunters quietly ina slender figure, attir-
ed with such Partisan faultlessness of taste
that he has acquired the name Of the best
dressed man in the House. Dark brown
hair, brushed smoothly away from his white
broad forehead; full beard aud moustache, I,
and handsome face, all but the eyes-oh |!
such singular looking eyes As long as
his back is turned, he seems on Adonis
but the eyes spoil all. His usual style Of
dress-one that makes him the envy of
every dandy on Pennsylvania avenue for
its distizgus perfeclion-is a black dress
coat. with velvet collar, and light gray
trowsers, tapering down TO the small, shiny
boots. His hands are encased in perfectly
fitting kid gloves of some dark color, which
he constantly wears, even in his seat He
lounges in a sort of nonchalant way upon
his seat, seldom accosted by his fellow.tnem-
bers, and apparently quite unaware that he
is the center for hundreds of curions eyes
He is boarding in private family, and,
Teresa is with him"

The SPANISH WAR IN Morocco has been
only series Of skirmisheS thus far, neither
party showing a disposition TO decisive
engagement. The Spaniards say, however,
that they are becoming acquainted with
the Moorish style Of fighting, and that they
are confident of an easy campaign through
the country as soon as their com.
plete reinfOrcements arrive. Perhaps Spain
will realize most from the war in The occa-
sion it gives for the revival of loyalty IN her
colonies The Cubans are alive with pat
rlotic devotion to the home government,
and voluntary subscriptions OF money for
the war are being made in the most liberal
manner. One planter near Havanna head
ed the last with $4,000, and $4,000
prize to the soldier who plants the first
Spanish flag on the ramparts OF Tanglers
This new feeling of loyalty might be said
to injure our prospects in Cuba, only that
we never had any to speak OF.

arrivals that the European congress will
assemble at Paris on the 18th of this
month. The congress has been substantial
y abandoned upon the general understand
ing that it cannot aid in the settlement of
the Italian questions, which are in a fair
way to settle themselves Many indica-
tions in Italy point to a renewal Of the war;
which seems to be expected by the Italians
and desired by the democratic portion of
them. It's occurrence depends wholly on
the effort Of the pope to regain the control
of the Romagna, with the aid of Austria
and Naples. In that case the Venetian
and Neapoitan populations would be assis-
ted to rise against their masters, and
conflict would begin not to be ended until
all Italy shall be free from foreign control
and ready for the confederation of the free
Italian states. There is a proposition to
form new government of the Central states
and the Romagna, which is intended to
qualify the jealousy of Austria that Sardi-
uia will become 100 powerful. Whatever
rnrn affairs many take, the people of Italy
were neves more hopeful than at this mo-
mpEt of Achieving and maintaining their
complete independence. The greatest op-
Stacle at present in their way is the deter
mination Of the pope to cling to his tempo
raj power and the immense moral support
which he receives in this from his millions Of
spiritual subjects in all parts of the world.
Bni it is something that many of these
subjects are learning the distinction between
political and'spirtual loyalty, and are deter
mined to reconcile their religion with the
