Romance of Travelling in Italy Verdps
Heroes ON the ROad.

Travelling in the classic land of Italy seems
to be very romantic, because decidedly un-
safe, judging from the following story taken
from recent letter dated at Florence: "Not
great while ago we had the story of the
young Frenchman, travelling with his mother
in hired conveyance from Florence to
Bologna. 1t was in the evening, and the
young man was doing in a corner of thecar-
riage while the wakeful mother kept watch
Presently, at the window on the mothers
side--the vehicle being suddenly stopped
was present one of those grim figures-ori-
ginal of the picturesque ideal of the operatic
stage-with swarthy complexion, big beard,
and pointed hat, out of, or from under which,
came deep, terrible voice, demanding what
money they had. The young man, suddenly
aroused to confront the reality of his dreams,
rushed with pistol in hand out of the door on
his side, with the intention of firing upon the
rufian from behind the carriage. But the
movement was anticipated by another of the
party of the brigands, and well-directed
shot laid the young man dead upon the
ground The driver having already been
tied to his seat, the valuables were secured
and the robbers made off; and no clue to their
hiding-place has ever been obtained"

Notes upon the early history of news
papers are often met with, but the following
printed in l7ge, at London, is more extensive
than we generally find; rirris
1.-THE first publication of this species, in
England, resembled an extraordinary gazette;
they were called English Mercuries, and pub
lshed during the reign of Elizabeth, to rouse
national resentment, and support public spirit
against the terror of the Spanish armada.
But regular daily paper was not printed in
this kingdom till the war between King
Charles the First and the Parliament and IL
has been remarked, that in those remote dis
cordant times, as in the late distracted state
ofour Gallic neighbors, a printing press was
considered as a necessary and important part
of the camp baggage. Each party was de-
sirous of victory with the pen as well as the
sword, besides the advantage Of a rapid diffu-
sion of information. By Cromwell It was
carried to Scotland, and Higgins printed the
first paper in that Kingdom in 1862; it was
called "a Durnal of Some Passages and
Affairs etc. The Romans had publication
which nearly approached to modern news
paper It was called 'Acta Diurna, or, Daily
Occurrences, resembling the present accounts
of births deaths, marriages, &c. An extract
from one of these may be seen in Petronius,
an author, as singular for the indecorous sub
iect he handled, as the classic purity of his
language The debates of the Senate were
also published at the same period, under the
title, Public Acta.' The next paper of this
kind appeared at Venice, and was called
Gazette from the name Oft piece of money
for which it was sold; and was distributed in
manuscript, long after the invention of print
ing. Of these thirty volumes were collected
by that hellus librorum, Migliabechi, and are
still preserved in the library he left. The
Paris Gazette, under the management of
Mons Renaudot, followed next. In London,
the Daily Advertiser, ofJenour, led the way.
The prodigious profits of this gentleman's
paper tempted a crowd ofcompetitors, too
long to enumerate in this place"

Extraordinary Italian Skill--Thc Manufhc
tnrc of Modern MOsnics.

A letter from Rome, in the Rochester IN.
Yr) Democrat, gives the following account of
the manufacture of Mosaics at the Vatican
factory; ...
The mosaic copies of celebrated pictures
which are now almost the only ones which
adorn the interior of st. Peters, are the pro-
duct of this mandatory, and are fur superior
to the ancient mosaics. The ancients, be-
sides their inferiority in painting, show no
such delicacy of shading, or such variety of
coloring as has been attained in modern
times. The material used for these mosaics
is an artificial stone, of which twenty thou
sand different shades are used No one but
real artist, however one might at first imag-
inc, can excel in such work. 1t was interest
ing enough to see workman with picture
of enormous size before him, working for
hours in the selection and fitting of one little
piece of stone into the mosaic hich is to be
its copy. The large mosaics, some eighteen
feet in hight which adorn st. Peters, have
each of them cost twenty-five years of the
labor of several artists. 1t seems to me that
rather than undertake so endless and unpro-
ductive and wearing task, would rather
be the slave of silver mine-and yet the
perfection of the work is wonderful At a
little distance it is impossible to tell it from
an oil painting, and it is next to indestructi-
Bile. The mosaics of the Roman churches
still last, while the churches themselves have
been changed in almost everything else ex-
cept the solid walls

The Arrival of California steamer.

The scene on the arrival of steamer from
San Francisco with passengers from the At
lantic shore, is thus sketched by the Bulletin:
''The steerage shoulders its own baggage,
and rushes out needing nobody. The first
cabin surrenders to friends, who direct them
to "the only first class hotel'' in town, and 90
off in a dozen different directions. Accord
ingly the second cabin people sit down in the
upper Saloons and such greetingsl Here a
young man who has made his 'pile," meets
his gray-haired father, and troop of girls
whom he presumes to be sisters. The old
man embraces the youth with the energy OF
ten years Of suppressed affection all rushing
in the hug. "You blessed young blockhead,
sit down here, and tell us all about it, But
Sam can't sit down. This must be Mary,
he guesses, from her spectacles and they
kiss to the deadly peril OF the glasses, that
are very misty all of sudden. And this
Sally-but Sally bursts out crying, and drops
her head into her lap. The kissing over
the girls consult; "Can it be Sam?' maybe
some sharp fellow who knew they were COM
ing has stepped into his shoes and stolen
kisses that did not belong to him. 1t can't be
Sam-this fellow has whiskers like Pard,
and Sans face was as smooth as q peach.
Then fall to hugging and kissing and ex-
planning again. But Sam stops longest with
another Miss, who bears no family resem-
blance-but procul, o procuL protdni-what
right have brazen faced bachelors to watch
the meeting of lovers"

The True source Of Alcohol.

All alcohol, whatever apparent form it
assumes, has one origin. 1t comes from the
destruction of sugar, and has no other source
in nature. 1t is not production of vegeta-
BILE growth, like those substances which are
created to form the food of man. No chemist
has ever yet found it among the compounds
built up by plants. The solar beam that
Breaches like the finger of God across the
abysses of space" and in the laboratory of
vegetation, takes to pieces poisonous gases,
and puts together their atoms in new groups
which are capable of nourshing the animal
body-the celestial force never arranged to-
gether the atoms which form alcohol. On
the contrary, it is product of dissolution
of the week and disOrganization ofthe prin-
ciples of human food. 1t has the same origin
as those malignant and fatal exhalations
which constitute the genius Of pestilence-
the death and putrefaction of inorganic
matter Indeed, the same act which gives
birth to alcohol, also brings into the world a
twin compound, which is one OF the prompt
est and subtlest of all poisons-carbonic acid
gas Youmdns on Alcohol.

Couver,ion Of the Arnbs Oftbe De,crt,

An appeal in behalf of the Arabs of the
Desert has been issued. The writer speaks
with feeling. He says "The philanthropic
interest of J. H. Skene, Esq, her Majesty Con-
sui at Aleppo, has for two or three years been
deepened in behalf of this race by frequent
visits to their encampments. He has been a
mediator between them and the Turkish gov
ernment protecting them from injustice and
restraining them from war and predatory re-
taliation. His influence among them has
been so great that he was recently formally
elected by them Prince of the Arabs. Nor
is this an empty title. He has tested his
power in various ways, e. g., by ordering the
restitution of thirty caiDels, which they had
just seized from a caravan. They were at
once sent back to their owners, and the plum
derers were punished by being deprived Of
their horses.
"He has so far overcome their strongest
hereditary prejudices, as to persuade one of
the tribes to commence cultivating the soil.
The spot selected for the new settlement is
Dirhata, near the Jewish town of ofTadif-which
is only seven hours from Aleppo. In conse-
quence of Mr.. Skenes meditation, they now
frequent the city in such numbers that the
trade in English manufactures is sensibly in
creased. Though nominally Mahommedan,
the Bedouins seem to be almost destitute OF
religion either of doctrine or of forms. They
do not observe the five daily prayers pre-
scribed by Mohammed, and they have no re-
ligious teachers Of any kind, whose interests
might lead them to oppose the truth"
