Thr Recent Outrages by the Roman Police
Upon the People of ItnIy. II.

Upon the People Of ItaIy.
Details Of the outrages by the genddrmerie
at Rome on the 10th have been received
After describing the charge Of the genddrmes
down the Corso, and their reckless attack on
all-men, women and children--the results
are described by letter in the London Times:
Many of the wounded were in the mean
time, being conveyed to the hospitals, and
some to the apothecaries' shops hard by.
There were coachfulls of wounded, bruised
bleeding and swooning women. | saw one
picked up in a doorway, with an ugly cash
in her left breast; not far from il child with
deep cut in the neck, to all appearance al
most lifeless One Mazzotti was left on the
ground with two saber cuts; n student Ger
apial had received two broadsword cuts and
stab in the arm ........ ..
Another (Zaccaleoni) was fallen upon in the
Vicolo dello Sdrucocioio and knocked down
by three blows with loaded bludgeon; n
priest, near the Cafe San Carlo, received d
thrust of n sabre, and was felled to the ground
with the butt end of q horse pistol. One de
Angels was pierced by three sword thrusts;
Rossi, merchant, had severe saber cut in
the neck. The American Vice Consul is laid
dozen NTH a severe stab IN the side; German
artist with deep dagger wound in the arm;
a nurse and baby were both struck with the
same weapon in the carriage where they sat;
another sword cut struck both the legs of
lady seated in another carriage, wounding
them severely another lady, who had tainted,
and in that state was being carried inside the
Bernini Palace, was struck in the breast with
q genddrme's broadsword. The above bar
barous onslaught upon peaceable citizens on
the 10Th of March seems to be but the COM
mencement of trouble in Rome. ...

An IMPRISONED ScULPToR.-The Chicago
Tribune man has been looking through the
new penitentiary at Joliet, ILL.,, and was taken
by the warden to one side of the yard, where,
in little enclosed room by himself, sat a
young man, German, we believe, dressed in
full prison garb, busy with mallet and chisel,
putting the finishing touches to miniature
figure in marble. This little statue stands
about twenty-five inches high, and represents
draped female figure, graceful and easy in
attitude, with features sweet and expressive.
The artist calls the figure Meditation" and
such, indeed is its tone and meaning I'm
fortunately poor piece of marble was all
the sculptor could procure, and thus less than
justice is done to the highly creditable, and in
most points, remarkable carrying out of his
conceptions. In one hand an open book had
been nearly finished, when a flaw in the
marble rendered it necessary to change this
part of the design, and a rod is to be substi-
tuted.

TERRIBLE CRUELTIEs IN INDIA--MEN, Wo-
MEN AND INFANTS TORTURED AND Cur TO
PIECEs.-A recent irruption of a savage tribe
called Rockers, was lately made into the
Tipperah District of India, attended with the
most tiendish outrages. The villagers were
butchered like sheep, the women were sub
jected to the most cruel treatment, and were
then cut in pieces at intervals, so as to pro-
dragged along the ground till they were dead,
and infants killed in the presence of their
mothers. In one village hundred dead
bodies were found after the murderers had
retreated to the mountains, whittier the Gov
ernment has sent troops in pursuit of them,
with orders for their determination. --

A FINE PROSPECT FOR AMERICAN FARMERS
IN JAPAN.-A Japan letter in the PhiladeI-
phia Inquirer says
There are plenty of enterprising merchants
here, but what we want most is good Ameri-
can farmers. There is no climate or soil in
the world better adapted for agriculture than
this, and an already large and increasing
market for their produce. Wheat grows here
luxuriantly; potatoes, both sweet and white;
rice, and indeed everything. The soil is, so
far as ] have seen, nearly, if not quite, two
feet thick. Never failing streams give ample
opportunities for mills, a few of which would
be an excellent investment. In addition to
the demand from the immense quantity of
shipping which comes here in the course of
the year, Shanghai would require a large
quantity of -four, vegetables, &c. In the
latter place, white potatoes frequently sell for
six cents per pound. The land can be bought
very cheap, and good practical farmers COM
ing out here, supplied with well-selected
stock Of tools and seeds, can be sure of frealiz-
ing large fortune in very few years.

The Effect ofDissIpation on an Effeminate
Dandy.


Few who have visited Richmond, Va,
within the past ten or twelve years, are en-
tirely unfamiliar with Thomas Linton, fthat
city, whose remarkably feminine appearance
and effeminate habits attracted the attention
of all who saw him, and created doubts in
the minds of many as to his sex. So sue
cessfully did Linton ape the coquettish man
ners of woman Of the world, that he even
imposed upon the penetration of Mr.. Martin
Lipscomb, City Sergeant of Richmond,
Warden of the Jail, &C., who offered his hand
in marriage, was accepted, and upon the re-
tusal of Tom to realize his plighted faith,
actually commenced suit against her (him)
for breach ofpromise of marriage. The con-
clusion of which, reasonably enough sub
jected the confding City Sergeant to consid-
cradle ridicule. Gradually Tom lost his
daintipess of appearance and Of manner, and
a few days ago was taken before the Mayor of
Richmond for having been found beastly
drunk, and sent to jail. A correspondent Of
the Petersburg Express says: "a few years
ago, Linton was an intelligent, handsome,
refined young man--now he fs q confirmed
sot-bloated to Falstaffian proportions-and
presents loathsome appearance" ...

DISCOVERY OF THREE SKELEToNs.-While
James Eaton, of Rockport, Ohio, was plowing
on his farm, recently, he was startled by the
plow-share turning up some human bones
Eaton proceeded to dig around the spot and
succeeded in turning up the skeletons of three
persons. Two of the skeletons had all double
teeth and sound. The three skeletons lay
close together, and were only about foot
beneath the surface. The position of the
skeletons, the fact of their being buried at
such shallow depth, and the whole circum-
stances surrounding the NATTER render it
probable that some tragedy is connected with
this mysterious affair.

ARREST OF QUEER Trio IN PARIs.-Three
persons were lately arrested and judged to be
lunatics, because they tried to enter the
palace and call on Napoleon. One was a
commercial clerk who desired to say good
morning to his Majesty, and to present him
copy of work on the physical constitution
of the globe; he was at once given up to the
police. The second was farmer, who
wished to show the Emperor some remarka-
BILE turnips. The third was a cook, with a
patent method of.roasting fowls.

vision at Jerusalem, says: "And behold, the
man clothed with linen, which had the ink
horn by his side, reported the matter" This
verse might be not irreverently quoted to
show the antiquity of the profession.

Discovery of Ancient Ruins in the United

. states, .#E..
A new stimulus is likely to be given to
American archaeology by discovery recently
made some ninety miles northeast of Fort
Stanton, long account of which has Just
appeared in the Fort Smith (Arkansas)
Times.
The plain upon which lie the massive relics
of gorgeous temples and magnificent hills,
slopes gradually eastward toward the river
Pecos and is very fertile, crossed by gurg-
ling stream of the purest water that not only
sustains rich vegetation, but perhaps fur
nished with this necessary element the thou
sands who once inhabited the present wilder
ness. The city was probably built by war
like race, as il is quadrangular, and arranged
with skill to afford the highest protection
against an exterior foe, many of the buildings
on the outer line being pierced with loop
holes, as though calculated for the use of
weapons.
Several of the buildings are of vast size,
and built of massive blocks of dark gran
ite rock, which could only have been wrought
to their present condition by vast amount
OF labor. There are the ruins of three noble
edihces, each presenting front Of three hun
dred feet made of ponderous blocks of stone
and dilapidated walls are even now thirty
live feet high. there are no partitions in the
apex of the middle (supposed) temple, so that
the rooms must have been vast, and there
are also carvings in bas-relief and fresco
work. Appearances justify the conclusion
that these ruins could once boast of halls as
gorgeously decorated by the artists hand as
those of Thebes and Palmyra.
The buildings are all loop-holed on each
side, much resembling that found in the old
feudal castles of Europe, designed for the use
of archers. The blocks of which these edi-
fees are composed are cemented together by
species Of mortar of bituminous char
acter, which has such tenacity that vast
masses of wall have fallen down without the
blocks being detached by the shock.

DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED MISSIONARY.

DEATH OF DISTINGUISHED MISSIONARY
One of the most instructive of contemporary
writer's has just died at Paris, after short
illness. The memory of the Able Hue, a
French missionary in China and Thibet, who
carried the cross into the heart of Central
Asia and. studied the ritual of Buddhism in
the very Meccas of that strange and wide-ex-
tended faith, deserves place in the literary
shrines of a Church which he served with so
single-hearted a devotion. He was native
of Toulouse, and had been a missionary since
1889. He died in France, in his forty-seventh
wear

Missing American VesseI-Her Probable
Destruction, with Her Officers and Crew,
by Fire.
Much anxiety has been felt in New Orleans,
for some time past, in reference to the ship
81. Patrick, which left that port about the lst
OF December last, bound tc Liverpool, with
cargo Of cotton, but has not been heard of
since. Captain Doyle, of the ship Marathon,
states that on voyage from New Orleans to
Havre,, on the 10th of December last, he came
up with large ship laden with cotton, on
fire, with all the masts gone, bowsprit and
jibboom Standing mizzenmast towing over
the stern by the rigging, the ship heading
before the wind and sea, and in one mass Of
fire from stem to stern, all the top work and
upper deck burnt off. After lying by and
around the wreck, to be satisfied that there
could be no living being on board, he bore up
and proceeded on his voyage leaving the
burning ship to her fate.
1t is now generally believed that the vessel
afire was the 81. Patrick, and that all her Off
GERS and crew, about twenty men, perished
on board, or were lost at sea.

PerilOus Adventure on the Ice-A schoon-
er's Crew in Danger of Starvation


The propeller Bay State, which arrived
from Ogdensburg at Cleveland recently, re-
ports that, coming through the ice at Port
Colborne, a man was discovered, standing on
the ice, and through the prompt endeavors of
the Captain and officers, was rescued, when
nearly dead, in consequence of the cold,
hunger and wet state of his clothing. His
name was Alfred Denton, belonging to the
schooner Georg" Thurston which entered the
ice on Sunday. He was very kindly treated,
and when thoroughly warmed reclothed
and fed, was, in accordance with his desire,
put ashore, to make his way to the Canal for
a tug, in order that the vessel might soon
have relief He left the Thwston at seven
o'clock P. NJ, in company with her Captain
and another man, stimulated by the sickness
OF some of her crew and the great scarcity of
provisions, to maket he noble attempt to reach
the shore by walking on the Jumps of ice, in
order that assistance might be obtained.
After some two hours the Captain and the
other returned, but Denton, being separated
from them by the parting of the ice, could
not, and was forced to continue on his route,
every moment being immersed to his neck,
and saved from drowning only by the use of
a piece of board he had with him. He was
picked up about eight miles from the Thurs
ton and two from the land, at six in the even
ing. He declared he had about given up,
and for long time death appeared certain.

COUNSEL AGAINST HATE.-Hate not. It is
not worth while. Your life is not long
enough to make it pay to cherish ill-will or
hard thoughts toward any one. What if that
played you falseP What if this friend has
forsal5en you in your time of need, or that
one, having won your utmost confidence,
your warmest love, has concluded that he
prefers to consider and treat you as a stranger2
Let it all pass. What difference will it make
to you in a few years, when you go to the
undiscovered country? And allwho ill-treat
you now, will be more sorry for it then, than
you, even in your deepest disappointment and
grief, can be. A few more smiles, a few more
tears, some pleasure, much pain, alittle longer
hurrying and worrying through the world,
some hasty greetings and abrupt farewells,
and our part will be "played out" and the
injurer and the injured will be led away, and
ere long forgotten. Is it worth while to hate
each other
