we have Mr.. Forrest who is now playing a
splendid engagement and adding materially

Mr. Forrest, we presume, will,retire from the
stage in two or three years more. He has a
splendid residence in the center of Philadel-

some time since, to retire from the stage, and
purchased principality in the West, but af.

The Shoemaker Poet Of victor Emmanuel
Richard Henry Stoddard has in last weeks
New York Independent a very poor piece Of
verse, entitled The Shoemaker Poet of Victor
Emmanuel. The poem is too much below
our standard for publication, but we give
the preface thereto:
The following account Of this new Italian
celebrity is from the Eco d'Itdlia. The
writer Of the paragraph is a correspondent
of the Monde illustrate, of Turin, who, dur
ing the past summer, visited the mineral
springs Of Vaudier, where he discovered, in
a cave between two rocks, shoemaker's
shop with this sign, "Michele Fantini, Shoe
maker of His Sacred Royal Majesty" Fam
tint, it appears, is in the habit of going
every watering season to Vaudier to open
his shop, which is great resort of those
who are fond of impromptu verses and pop-
ulsr songs. This summer, however, his shop
was closed. "Having inquired for him.
says the correspondent of the Monde Illus
trdto ~ was told that he had followed the
royal coTtege hunting among the Alps.
One day, while we were waiting for the
arrival Of Victor Emmanuel, l saw aud

man, with a long red beard, an intelligent
eye, frank in his manners and always
ready with an answer. The peeuliarities of

| so much, that, since 1856, whenever he goes
hunting the chamois, he always takes Fan
tint with him, who, besides being good
shot, has also the honor of shoeing the royal
feet of his sovereign. Often the distin-
| guished hunter rests from his long days
! sport, and after talking over the incidents OF
/ the chase, calls to him his friend, the Shoe

ONE CENT

France and the Cotton States-LOnis Ma
poIeon Asked to PrOrect Char1estou.
Last Thursday we alluded to the alleged
protection sought by soms of the Cotton
States, in the event of dissolution, Of the
Emperor of the French, and now annex a
translation Of an article on the same subject
from the New York Courier des Eats Unis;
If our information is correct, overtures
have really been made TO the government of
France, to learn il, under certain circum-
stances, she would consent to take under her
protection the commercial neutrality of some
point on the Southern icoast of the United
States. 90 ..af sis l3
The answer has been that questions of this
kind can not be solved except in view of
accomplished facts, owing to the entirely diff
fefent aspect that they may wear according
to circumstances. ....... ....t..
There was not, therefore, and there could
not have been any encouragement of any
kind, nor any hope authorized to any degree
that this would be done. Nevertheless, those
charged with the negotiation appear to have
received the impression that, if a government
regularly organized in the name ofthe South,
after having given proof of its independent
existence should proclaim one Of its ports
free, it would have chance of obtaining the
guaranty of the French flag for the point
thuS Openeu freely TO lne commerce OF Jne
world. Hence the idea of inaugurating the
disuuion movement by the erection of
Charleston into free port.
The overtures we have spoken of are not,
moreover, the only steps taken in France by
\ those politicians of the South who are seri-
ously occupied with the eyentuality of dis
union.
Under their inspiration, the commerce OF
| Virginia, South Carolina and Louisiana is

merce. Advances both individual and col
lective, have been made with this object to-
ward our principal places-7Havre, Nantes
Bordeaux and Marseines- They have, o.
accompanied by offers of all the advantages
that could render them attractive and &C.
ceptable. U.
AS the Courier is earnestly engaged in the
effort of the fusionists to defeat Lincoln, il
has doubtless colored its statements rather
highly, so as to frighten the North.

EXTRAORDINARY ELoPEMENT IN ILLINOIS
The Gully Lovers Carry of Money and
ChiIdren.-A late Peoria en- paper says;
B.J. Orton, a wealthy and influential citi-
zen of Munson, in Henry County, on Tues
day night eloped with the wife of q Mr.. Nor
ton, who was living with him, taking along
some Sc, COO or $4,000, the proceeds of some
stocks and farms he had but recently dis
posed of. Orton leaves wife and three
children, and, from the circumstances sur
rounding the case, had been getting ready
to decamp for some time, but his heretofore
good character kept down suspicion; The
guilty pair took with them one of Orton
Children. 0rton is said to be about twenty
nine years old, and Mrs. Morton about
twenty. The husband of the decamping
wife had purchased farm near Rock River
and had come for her to go with him to theil
home, when he discovered she was gone
Mrs. Orton is said TO be a lady OF more thar
ordinary intelligence and attainments, anC
has the sympathies of the citizens. The cas'
has created no little excitement. b aIHf.

The New Orleans Cemeteries on All Saints,
Dny-ObservatiOn of the Occasion.

Fridays New Orleans PicGyune says:
The Catholic cemeteries presented yester-
day the strange and animated sight peculiar
to ll-Saints' Day" The ornaments were
not in such profusion as in former years but
presented more chaste and tasteful appear
ance. The families who pay annually this
tribute of regret to their lost members had
| attended the sad duty in the morning, aud
retired early in order to avoid the confusion
caused by the large number of people that
generally throng the cemeteries at later
| hour of the day, but nevertheless, those
| places were crowded during the afternoon.
| The day was fine and not too cold, not
| withstanding the wind, and the little or
| phans and the old men and widows could
keep their places at the small tables placed
at the gates We are afraid that the collec-
| tions will not reach figure any way proper
tionate to the wants of the different ssy Iums,
but still, we noticed with pleasure during
/ our short visit there, that themajority of the
| visitors did not pass inditierently those small
! tables, where innocent childhood or INDECENT
| old age implored their charity, and if the
coin dropped into the collection-plate was oi
small value, it was given with good will
and a feeling of true sympathy and pity
Besides the collections at the gates, the va
rious benevolent societies who have tomb
in the cemeteries had tables set near thest
| monuments, and there again made an appea
to the generosity of the visitors.

LADY ELGlN DIsAsTER-Pdt Story of
BereaUed and Discoasoldte WIdOtO. =, The
Racine (Wis.) Journal relates one Of the
hundreds of cases which might make the
stony eyes Of a statue weep:
A Mrs. Williams, the widow of Richard
Williams, and who lives near Lockport, ILL.,,
lost her husband, two sons-one eighteen
and the other sixteen years old-and a
brother, by the terrible calamity alluded to.
Five years ago she lost three children by the
cholera, in Chicago. Fifteen months ago
she lost daughter Out of seven children
she has one, and only one little child left.
Some four months previous to the loss Of the
Elgin, her husband sought and obtained work
in Milw aukie, whittier he was returning with
his boys, after visit home, when the wreck
of the Inflated steamer overwhelmed them
in the waters, and his bereayed wife with
grief and sorrow unutterable. She has wan
dered back and forth upon the margin OF
| the lake, like spirit upon the Stygian
| shore in vain, bewailing and seeking the
| lost bodies of husband and departed friends
/ Thus far she has found none of them. Ii
penury, and poverty, and pinching want
! she lives, destitute of clothing, almost, will
cheerless shelter and a heart full of grief.

Supposed Suicide of an Eccentric CharHc-

the 10th, of October on the ferry-boat at
Carondelet, and the following morning his
hat and coat were found upon the bank of
the river. Three days previous to bis final
disappearance, he stopped at the Jefferson

PROBABLE CAPTURE OF ANOTHER SLAYER
BY A WAR STEAMER.-The Nassau Guardian
says: '"''
On Wednesday, the Sd inst, as the sloop
Union, Captain Saunders, turned round Rid
ing Rocks TO 90 toward Orange Gays, she
came in sight of a brig at some distance,
which, as the two vessels approached each
other, had all the appearance of SLAYER.
Gradually they got within mile and half
of each other. Suddenly the brig tackled
away from Orange Gays, evidently to avoid
a large war steamer laying there at anchor.
The people on the sloop were then witnesses
to the sudden and rapid movements of the
steamer in "getting under way" and to the
beginning of the chase, the result of which
we shall, no doubt, soon hear. The chase
was about s. E. by e. from the Orange Gays.
AS the Union continued her course, she met
the ExeeI of Green Turtle Cay, Captain
| James Curry, who had been on board the
steamer, and had learned that the SLAYER had
been an object of very affeotionate regard
by the steamer for some hours, and had, in
fact, been under that sort Of surveillance
which the spider usually gives to the fly,
| There can be ne doubt the SLAYER is taken
as she was losing ground fast, and had nc
chance, the weather being fine and the day
| before them. f-IJ JIr. ..ra
