How COUNT CAvoUR WAS ENTERTAINED
AT TUE Relating to the attendance
of the prime minister, Count Cavour, at the
theater in Milan, recent letter says AS
soon as his entrance in the box was remarked,
4 general cheering and waving Of handker-
chiefs and hats followed. All other mortaS
lost their attraction, and the only ideas i'll the
heads Of dominoeS PieretteS debdrdeWS seemed
to be to apprsch the happy prime minister
who had sat down in front of the box. The
difficulty was only how to get near him. One
mask, bolder than her companions, began to
"agacer" the great man from one Of the boxes
just above the one in which lie was seated.
Having attracted his attention, and finding en-
enlargement on the part of Cavour, the mask
descended, entered the box, and embraced
hi n there, amid the frantic applause OF the
public. Scarcely had the other female masks
perceived the success OF their bold companion
when a regular hegira took place, every one
being anxious for the same honor 1t gave
one almost wish to be prime minister for the
time, for there was no end to the kissing OF
/ Of the happy little man.

result in some plan TO unite the convention
upon a candidate for the Presidency that
may be acceptable to all. If the southern ex'

Douglasites were less wifully bent on having
their own way, such compromise would
doubtless be effected. But we must wait and

was never heard of before.
