PARTICULARS OF THE CAPTURE OF PERUG1A.
Turin letter gives the following particu-
lars respecting the taking of Perugia by
General Fanti:
The town was defended by about 5000
men, who fought with great resolution. The
garrison had raised barricades in all parts of
the town, and occupied the houses, from
which they fired upon the Sardinians. Every
street was the scene of a conflict but the as
sistance afforded to General Fanti by the in
habitants made the conflict much shorter
than it would otherwise have been. A con-
siderable portion of the Pontifcal Car
bineers contrived to escape out of town; the
others retired to the citadel, which could not
hold out long. Toward opening the fort
capitulated, and the whole of the garrison.

ers, as well as General Schmidt, who COM
manded them. He is the worthy chief of
the adventures whom the Italians so cordi-
ally detest. Switzerland refuses to acknow-
ledge him. He was one of the heroes of
that impious war of the Sonderbund, which
caused much bloodshed in the Swiss canons.
He was subsequently exiled, and if he is
again set at liberty he certainly will not find
a refuge in Italy.

Child-AnEeIs-Their Early Going Home.
Benjamin F. Taylor, of the Chicago
Journal relates thus eloquently and feelingly
upon the death Of child:
1t went in the morning-a bright and ra-
diant morning-many went yesterday, more
to-day, and there are dews to be shed for the
departures of tomorrow. And can 1t be
wondered that pleasant summer mornings
should beguile them into going2 Is it a
marvel that they do not wait for the burden
and the noon, but follow the lark and hear
her song over the rim Of the rainbow
That those words so beautiful, they should
make so true, land joy cometh in the morn
ing2"
Going in the morning q glorious morn
ing-when the sky is all beauty, and the
world is all bliss ere the dews have gone to
heaven, or the stars have gone to God; when
the birds are singing, and the cool winds are
blowing, and the flowers are out that will be
shut at noon, and the clouds that are never
rent in rain, and the shadows inlaid with
crimson lie away to the west
We have sometimes seen q little coffin,
like casket for Jewels, all alone by itselfin
a huge hesrse, melancholy with plumes, and
gloomy as a frown, and we have thought
not so, should we accompany those a little
way, who go in the morning. We have

coffin into the carriage with them, and lay
it gently upon their laps, the sleeper there
lulled to slumber without bosom or a cradle.
We have wondered what there was for tears
in such a going-in the early morn
ing from home to home-like fair white
doves with downy wings emerging from
neither night and huttering for entrance at
the windows of Heaven. Never has there
been hand wanting to take the wanderer
in, and shut out the darkness and the storm.
Upon those little faces it never seemed to
us that death could place his great seal there
is no thought of the charnel-house in those
young listeners to the invitation, whose
acceptance we are bound not to forbid; there
should be morning songs and not sighs; fresh
flowers and not badges ofm0urning; no tears
nor clouds, but bright dews and bright dawn
ings together.
Fold up the white robe lay aside the for
gotten toy; smooth the little impressed pill
low, and gently smile as you think of the
white garment, ofthe harp ofgold and of the
fair brow with its diadem of light smile as
you think that no years can make that
memory old. An eternal, guileless child,
waiting about the threshold Of Paradise for
the coming friend from home.
Here the glad lips would quiver with an
guish; the bright curls growing grizzled and
gray the young heart weary and old, but
there, changeless as the stars, and young as
the Inst new morning.
The poet tells of green bough rent by the
tempest from the tree, and swept rudely
along on the breast ofan angry river, and q
mother-bird with cries Of grief futtering be-
side it, for her nest and nestlings were there.
All better to be waited away from earth,
than thus that they should drift around the
world in storm.

Table-Turning In EngIand-A Woman Iu-
duced TO Steal by spirit-RappIngs.
At the Hull (EnglaRd) Police Court, a
woman, named Mary e. Summers, was
charged with stealing quantity of wearing
apparel, the property of Mrs. Herolage, of
whom she had rented a room, or a. house, in
Queen's-square, Scotts-square.
The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge,
which was Of common felony, and begged
the judge to be merciful TO her because of
her child.
Mr.. Travis--What caused you to commit
the offense7
Prisoner-I did IL under the influence of
spirit-rapping, and scarcely knew what 1
was doing.
Mr.. TTavis-What do you mean by spirit
rapping2
Prisoner-Table-turni
Mr.. Travis-What do you mean by table,
tuTning2
The prisoner then explained that num-
ber of women were in the habit of meeting
at her house, and they placed their hands on
the edge of a table, and in a very short time
it moved, by either God or the devil, (most
probably the latterG but on one occasion il
moved to such degree that she was terri
bly, frightened, and ran away.
The prosecutrix was then recalled, and
asked by Mr.. Travis about the spirit-rappine
that was going on at the house. She said
she knew nothing about it, although from
what she could learn, she understood that
the prisoner had had dealings with the
devil.
Mr.. Travis-Dealings with what2
rosecutrix-Dealings with the devil
| She had seen balls of fire on q night,
Prisoner-I don't know who | have been
dealing with; all l know is that you fad
dressing prosecutrix] first showed me how to
go on with table-turning.
Prosecutrix-No, it was not; you can
make the table turn any way; you do it all
yourself.
The prisoner then explained the system oi
table-turning, and question-answering by
rapping. number of persons placed theiI
hands upon the edge of the table, upon
the alphabet, and after a short time the table
began to move, after which the persons had
full power over it; certain questions were
put to it, and answered in the following
maner
A question having been asked, one of the
persons successfully touched the letters of
the alphabet upon the table, and at the let
ter forming the first letter of the word re-
presenting the answer to the question, the
! table raped, and so on until the question
was spelt out.
Considerable mirth was created in the
court during the time the prisoner was max.
| ing the above statement.
Mr.. Travis ultimately committed her fer
six weeks, and said he hoped that at the end
of that time she would have given up the
foolish notions which seemed to have taken
possession of her.

INDIGNATION AGAINST A FAMOUS AUTHOR
Alexandra Dumas Mob6ed at NapIes.-A
Paris correspondent writes:
Alexander Dumas has outlived his popu-
larity in Naples. Garibaldi's friends no
longer believe in him. He is accused of
Mazzinism, and was actually stoned when he
attempted to land from his yacht. He had
been driven from the harbor; and the poor
little Emma was seen to ride slowly and
mournfully out to sea, with none ofthe show
and glitter, the firing of two-penny guns
and squeaking of penny-trumpets, which
Alexandra loved to indulge in. The She
admiral Emile was below not daring to
show herself on deck, By-the-bye, a GOOD
story is told of Dumas when at Palermo.
One of Garibaldfs officers, shocked at the
want of decorum displayed by the disguise,
demonstrated openly with the romance
writer, and objected to the presence of the
lady where the young son of Garibaldi was
hourly expected, "What reason can you
give for this mountebank assumption of the
male attire?" said the Italian. "Simply her
ugliness as a woman" said Alexandra, with
the most charming candor. 1t was a curious
sight to behold the fat, gray-headed old mu-
latto, attired in fantastic guise, making regu-
lar sales of muskets on board his yacht,
while the Circassian, in full costume, handed
them up from below, and the little female
pirate, in loose trousers and stout sou'-
wester, stood looking on. 1t is for this Of
tense that Alexandra has been dismissed.

A Fortunate COuple-Unexpected Inher-
itance ofWeaIth.

The New York Herald translates from the
Independence Beige pretty story Of the to-
tally unexpected inheritance of large for
tune by Mademoiselle Mathilde Benoit of
the Partisan Academy of Music (Conserva-
toire) and her widowed mother. By the will
of an uncle, Peter Benoit (under the name
of Pietro Beneditti) a music-teaoher, per-
former and composer, in New York. As the
story runs notary sent for Mathilde, learned
that her mother yet lived, sent for her also
and informed them that uncle Peter, aged
ninety-one, had died recently, etc. We copy
the conclusion of the story from the Herald
in the words of the notary:
Pietro Beneditti has lived long time; he
died two months ago, when at the age of
ninety-one. He married fifty years since,
but lost his wife and the sons he had with
her. Having no direct heirs, Peter Benoit
thought of his younger brother, Thomas
August Benoit, to whom he had, however,
not written since half century. He leaves
all his fortune to the children and grand
children of that BROTHER if any, with the
stipulation that if any of the descendants of
Thomas are or have been a pupil of the Con-
servatoire, consequently the half of your
grand-uncle's fortune belongs to you.
"And to whom will the other half Of that
fortune go2" inquired Madame Benoit.
ITO the other direct heirs of Thomas Be-
mott, if any are living"
"Mr. Thomas Benoit, my father-in-law,
had but one son, my husband, whom un-
fortunately lost six years ago, and we had
but one child, my dear Mathilde, who stands
before you"
off that is the case" said the notary, "the
whole of Peter Benoit's inheritance belongs
to her."
''Has that inheritance some Importance"
inquired Madam Benoit.
"Wel, /" said the notary, who had already
appeared much interested in the yonng girl.
you had better guess"
will it be as much as 10000 francs7" in
quired Mother Benoit, who did not dare to
hope so much.
"Better than that"
'Fifty thousand francs?"
"Go on"
'fSixty thousand?n
''Still higher-go on STILL"
"a hundred thousand2'
"Oh, you are going so slowly that we will
never come to an end. Peter Benoit has
left fortune of !, 800, 900 francs"

ANOTHER ABSURD CHARGE OF PLAGIARISM
Macaulay's Famous New ZeaLander. r.--Macau-
lays famous traveller, sitting on the ruins of
London. Bridge and sketching the ruins of
st. Paurs, has been traced in Several of the
compositions of the distinguished author.
The first appearance is believed to have been
in 1924. A correspondent of the London
Times, however, finds that the leading idea
in this well-known picture was given by
Shelley in the dedicatory letter of his "Peter
Bell the Third" says:
"When London shall be an habitation Of
bitterns; when st. Pauls and Westminster
Abbey shall stand shapeless and nameless
ruins in the midst of an unpeopled marsh;
when the piers of Waterloo Bridge shall be-
come the nuclei of islets of reeds and osiers,
and cast the jagged shadows of their broken
arches on the solitary stream, some trans-At-
lantic traveller will weigh every thing in the
scales OF some new system of criticism,
and the merits of the present work be
recopnized,n

A DIpLoMATIsT WITHOUT A COUNTRY OR A
KNG.-Among the diplomatic corps at Wash
ington there has not been greater favorite
than the Chevalier Massone, representative
of the King of Naples. The success of Carl
baldi placed him in position that was with
out a precedent. Not only was he with
out q king, but even without a country,
for Naples is merged in the unity OF
Italy. Accordingly Signor Massone de-
manded his papers, and will leave for Europe
shortly. On presenting him with his letter
recredence, General Oass remarked that ''the
Department regretted the departure of a
gentleman with whom its relations had been
perfectly satisfactory, and that he hoped that
he would be enabled to serve his country in
future as faithfully as he had served his
sovereign here

DELIGHTFUL SCENE IN AN IRISH THEArRR.
A Characteristic scene occurred in the thea
ter at Belfast, ireland, on the 18th ult. An
actor, Mr.. Moss, rushed before the curtain
and asked the audience to interpose between
him and Mr.. Scott the manager, who said
he was drunk. He was hotly pursued by
Scott and they had fist-fght on the stage,
the Irish audience being in high state Of
delight, evidently sympathizing with Moss,
but pelting both combatants with eggs, ap-
Piles and other missiles. They presently dis
appeared, but soon Moss darted into the
orchestra, chased by constable aud police
man, and the row became general. 1t ended
by the play going on as usual, and Mr.. Moss
performing his part, as if nothing had hap
pened; the little episode having evidently
refreshed the audience to an extraordinary
degree.

SUMMARY MODE OF PRooEDURE.-The Chi
nese succeeded in raising the steamer Cor
morant sunk in the Peiho, and took out her
engines. The Emperor, when he heard that
the engines would not work, summoned four
watch-makers from Pekin. "You under
stand machines" said he to the trembling
artisans. snake that barbarian concern 90,
or I'll cut your heads off," Down they went,
and after mature deliberation, built fire in
the furnace, and had the supreme delight OF
seeing a dense smoke ascend through the
funnel. This being considered an ample
success, they returned in honor, and wear
their heads still in the natural way.
