men," Here is an extract from his last.
Promising that the day after the battle of
Melazzo, which he witnessed ashore, be went
on board his yacht, which, for safety, had
remained outside the harbor, and sailed to
the entrance, when "Scarcey had 1 cast
anchor when boat bearing man, with a
red shirt, ESQ all Garibaldians are dressed,)
directed itself towards the yacht. The
General had sent me an order to take posi-
ton behind the Tuchery (steamer.) A
quarter of an hour afterwards 1 occupied
the position indicated and repaired on board
the Tuchery. The General received me
calm and serene, as he always is. You will
never see face so placid as his. Truly, as
Dante says, lit is the lion that so reposes.'
whilst we conversed, there arrived an oar
boat: The General exchanged several
words with the man On board, and after.

SOME time ago a Paris ieweller was
robbed of 100000 worth of diamonds.
One evening a man and two females went
into his shop on pretext of purchasing an
opera glass. Whilst the man was examining
the articles offered him, the women placed
themselves near the window, in which,
among other things, quantity of diamonds
were exposed for sale. Another man and
two other females then came in, and asked
to see some watches, the two women placing
themselves in such a position as to prevent
the movements OF the first two from being
seen. After while the three last corners
went away without purchasing anything,
and the first three, hastily paying for
lorgnette which the man had selected. also
hurried OFT; and then the jewelIer discovered
that his diamonds had disappeared. The
Paris police have, after long search, de-
tected two of the perpetrators of the act.
One, however, woman who lived for many
years in New York, has been acquitted for
want of evidence, and the other New
Yorker, named Allen, has been sentenced
to ten years hard labor. Two men who
have been arrested in London for attempting
similar robbery, are thought to belong to
the gang. None of the diamonds have been
recovered, and the whole affair is worthy of
Eugene Sues heroes or heroines.
HE annual rural tete and dinner given by
the Queen and Prince Consort to the labor
ers and workmen employed on the Osborne
estate is reported in the London newspapers.
A large tent was erected on the lawn, in
which the dinner was served. In addition
to workmen and laborers, the seamen of the
royal yachts, soldiers, members of the coast
guard, and Others were invited, the whole
amounting to about $50. After they had
partaken of the dinner rustic games and
rural sports followed in the grounds until
evening. Her Majesty and the Prince
COnsort with the members of the royal
family and suite, passed through the tents,
and were afterwards spectators of the sports,
with limited circle of visitors
A CRIME of terrible magnitude was con-
mitted in Manchester a short time since.
A young man, William Youngman, muir
dered his mother, two brothers, and young
woman, named Streeter, to whom be was
engaged to be married. Youngman &C.
cOrding to all accounts, was a steady and
industrious person; he lived on good terms
with his family; and his attachment to Miss
Streeter, whom he had brought to bis faith
er's house on the previous evening, appears
to have been very strong. No motive is
assigned for the crime, except that caused
by Temporary insanity.
HERE is French story: A policeman
in Paris, going his rounds, felt chilly, and
whistling under the window of his house his
wife opened it. He requested her to throw
down his cloak, which she did. He put it
on and went on his rounds, after which be
returned to the guard house. Here he was
bantered by his comrades for wearing the
cloak of police Inspector, and on looking
at the arm of his mantle he discovered the
distictive badge. A suspicion of his mis-
fortune came over him he rushed home
burst open the door, and found his wife and
the inspector together be drew his sword,
killed the guilty pair, and instantly surren-
dered as prisoner, telling the authorities
what be had done. 1t is expected he will be
pardoned. f.
The announcement of the ACCOMPLISHMENT
of the Princess Frederick William, of 'Prus-
STA, was telegraphed direct to Her Majesty
at Osborne, from Potsdam. The young
Princess was born at ten minutes past eight
A. M, but the fact was known at Osborne
at five minutes past eight! The apparent
paradox is explained by the difference of
longitude Of the two places.
