A Portralt of count cnvour.

Count Cavour has so far recovered from
his late attack as to be able to leave his bed
aud bedroom, and is expected to transact
business in his manifold Offices this very
morning. His late complaint for which he
has been twice bled, was, happily, not of
the apopleotic nature which had somewhat
alarmed his friends on former occasions. It
was merely an inflammation of the digestive
organs. There is no doubt, however, that
his strong health threatens to give way be-
fore his intense incessant occupation, strong
appetite, luxurious living, plethoric habits
and want of bodily exercise. He is always
up and at work at five o'clock in the NOR
ming. From nine to half.past six in the Of
ternOon he directs all the business in his
own departments, and takes general sur
vey of those of his more helpless colleagues.
Then follows dinner, his only meal, be-
lieve, in the twenty-four hours, and l am
told, none of the lightest. He uses no car
riage, but walk from bis private residence
in the Via Cavour to the ministerial offices
in the Piazza CASTILLO is but poor relaxa-
tion. Sometimes have met him walking
outside the porticoes along the Via di Pc,
evidently for breath of air. but he has ac-
customed the world to too constant de-
pendence on his master mind to allow him
self the indulgence even of quarter of an
hours constitutional" The activity Of
the mans mind is immeasurable. He ne
elects nothing, forgets nothing; no scheme
of policy or diplomacy is too high, no mean
detail or particular is too commonplace for
him. He has an eye for everything; he
trusts few men, and these are generally OBJ
scure but able individuals of his own choice
and creation. He writes most of his letters
with his own hand. He writes plain and
distinct round French hand with lines wide
apart-a hand of which strength and de-
cislOn would not, on first inspection, seem
to be the most obvious characteristics. A
Wrench Photographic likeness, lately pub.
ished by Maggi, conveys the very mind and
soul of this greatest of living statesmen. A
whole volume might be written about the
expression lurking beneath every line of
the half good humoredly, half sarcastically
smiling mouth. II is the smile of the man
who has early found out chow little wis
dom 1t takes to govern the world" and
whose noble heart has prompted him to rule
over 1t for its own greatest advantage. May
his band long continue firmly to WELD the
destinies Of his country.-[Turin Cores

MAzEPPA WITH VEEGEANCE.-Af few eve
nlngs since, at Rochester, N. Y, while per-
forming the play of Mazeppa, the wild horse
of Tartary was rather more in character
than was intended. When the "untamed
steed," with Mazeppa on bis back, was let
loose, instead Of taking the designed route,
the horse made short cut, and upset sew
eral castles and other small buildings; the
lashings which held Mr.. Miles were broken,
bnt he held to his place by the mane-no
easy task, as he was lying upon his back
across the horse. He passed safely before
the audience on the second stage, but, go
ing over the third or uppermost, he was
thrown from his horse and received kick
upon the head, which was at first thought
to be serious. He revived in a short time
and concluded his part.

TROUBLE IN THE New REPUBLIC-The hot
headed fellows who control things in the
New Republic have got into difficulty with
foreign power at once. The st. Louis
correspondent Of the Alta gives the follow.
ing item
Captain Vaughn, of the British ship Kalos,
lying at the port of Savannah, having ex-
pressed doubts as to the expediency of se-
cessiOn, and further as to the divine origin
of the peculiar institution. was treated to a
severe ducking by handfulsOf excited peo-
pie in that city, and one side Of bis bead
shaved. This circumstance has excited a
great deal Of Indignation among the better
class of citizens of Savannah, aud fears are
entertained that the British Government
may take official notice OF the act. The Sa-
vanah papers are silent upon the particulars
of the occurrence. which is, however, termed
by the British Consul at that city, in an ad-
vertisement Offering a reward of 81 900 for
the guilty parties, as "a dastardIy aud bru-
tai outrage" The Mayor Of Savannah has
offered a reward of $500 for the apprehen.
sion and conviction Of the participants in
the "personal abuse and violence" offered
Captain Vaughn.

Loss Oftho ship David Brown.

The reported loss of the ship David
Brown, from San Francisco to Liverpool,
with a cargo of wheat, is confirmed. She
foundered at sea, off Cape st. Rogue. The
st. Louis correspondent of the Alta has the
following particulars
The New Orleans papers contain further
particulars of the loss of the clipper ship
David Brown, heretofore reported lost on a
voyage from San Francisco to Liverpool,
with cargo Of grain. News was brought
to New Orleans by the steamer Habana.
1t appears that the David Brown sailed from
San Francisco with crew of twenty-five
men all told, nine women and children and
five male passengers. When the leak was
discovered, Captain Berry bore up for the
Island of st. Thomas. By great exertiOns
the Captain managed to get within about
1000 miles to the eastward of that island,
when he found it impossible to keep the
ship afoat, and she had to DO abandoned.
The Captain took one boat with eighteeno Of
the crew, with the women aud children pas
sengers. The mate took another boat, with
the remnant of the crew and male passen-
gers. After they had been at sea three
days, the boats parted company. That
commanded by the Captain has not since
been heard Of. The mate reports having
been at sea nine days in an open boat, dur
ing which time they endured almost un-
heard Of suflerings. for want of food and
water, when they were on the l4th of Janu-
ary, picked up in latitude 10 deg. 10 min.
N, longitude A deg. 2S min., by the bark
Observador, and brought into Havana.
The passengers being all British subjects,
we're Immediately taken charge of and
treated kindly by Mr.. Crawford, the British
Consul General of Cuba. The David Brown
had been eighty days at sea, when she
sprung leak. The Observador. which had
the good fortune to save portion of her
crew, was from Cadiz and Teneritfe. Moth
ing has been heard of Captain Berry and
the other boat. They may have been pick
ed up by some European bound vessel.

The BITTER BIT.-Elisha Grfith, rich
old rascal, residing at Minneapolis, Minn.,
offered married woman of that place $500
in gold to elope with him. The woman
consented, and informed her husband, who
approved Of the plan. Very soon after
starting, she got possession of the money,
and with it returned home, leaving the old
fellow discOnsolate enough. He arrested
her for stealing, but she was acquitted, and
allowed to retain the money.

THERE is a deal of sound sense at times
in the remark Of insane persons. At the
South Boston Asylum, patient was asked
il he was fond of riding horseback. "No.
sir, ride hobby" "There's not much dif.
ference between the two" carelessly re-
marked gentleman. 20 yes, there is,v
said the patient, land it Is this: If YOU
ride horse, you can stop him and get off.
but when you mount hobby you can't stop
and you can't get off," There's wisdom for
you

THE SILVER ERA.-We have many times
been occupied with the idea of silver age
to succeed, or be with that of gold. We have
held this notion while the gold product was
alone the mineral yield of the country on
the western eide of the continent, and be-
fore any discoveries of silver we're made
1t is impossible to tell why, but, wholly
without the suggestions of scientific studies,
we acquired the opinion that where there
was a diversified and extensive gold region
there was also q silver region. Discovery
in Utah, in California, 10 New Mexico, IN
Lower California, and elsewhere in regions
where gold is found, has confirmed our opin-
ion, however it may have been formed
And though we do not assert that the era OF
great golden discoveries has passed, or that
it has reached its most abOunding time, we
believe that silver era has begun, wherein
the white treasure will become almost as
plentiful as iron 10 commerce. Silver ore
will be found where gold only was former
ly looked for, and it will be ascertained
that silver lines traverse and run parallel
aud mixed with the gold lines of the Rocky
mountains, the Sierra Nevada, the Oregon
mountains, the mountains of Southern Cal
ifornia and the Colorado, and, perhaps,
through the British and Russian possessions
north. The wide, varied and uninhabited
country back Of California will yet reveal
to mining adventure more metallic richness
than has been obtained from Mexico, Aus.

In raising the treasure of the steamer
Malabar which was wrecked on the coast of
Ceylon, last summer, the divers worked un-
der water through nine feet of sand, and
then cut away large iron plates half an inch
thick, forming the sides Of the mail-room Of
the steamer. Eighty thousand dollars
worth OF treasure were thus obtained ia one
day. The steamer had over 81, 800 900 in
gold on board, all Of which has been saved.

A Brace OF Stammerers.

Stephen C was iovial SON, ,,d
hcsitated not to play trick on any one.
Among his acquaintance he numbered
young lady and young man, both of
whom stammered very badly. They were
not acquainted with each other.
Bob =, the young man alluded to.
was quite sensitive; and to think that any
one was making fun of his defects, fire.,
quently few into passion. 1t was Ste
phen's fortune to meet them both at q
party, and be soon determined on a Joke.
Miss Sue" said he, approaching his
lady friend, "may l have the pleasure Of
introducing one of my acquain.ances, a
worthy young gentleman 7"
" Cer-cer-cer- certainly, sir !"
Away he started for Bob F.
Bob, old fellow, here is a nice girl
want to introduce you to. Come on
u" Does she taw.taw-talk 2" asked Bob.
" Yes-like blazes."
So off they started, and approached the
seat Of the lady. Stephen introduced
them, and Immediately drew to one side,
that he might see how they would manage
each other, when his ears were greeted
with the following conversation.
"How'are you enjoy-joy-jOy-joing your.
self th'th this c'e-e.evening, marms %
"Th'th-thank you, pleasantly; but it
is ra-a.ther warm"
Bob's brow contracted but he restrain
ed his feelings, and continued:
" Pr.pr presume you are acq.q-quaint.
ed with m'm-most of those pr-pr pres
ent ?"
Ye-ye-ye-yes, sir, with all, I be-bc-
believe" she said, at the same time smil-
ing,
But that smile ruined her forever in
Bobs estimation; for hastily rising, he
exclaimed
"By th-th- th-thuuder, madam, if that
is the w-w-way you make fun of fellow 5
in-fr-fr-fr-f -frmitics, you may 90 to gr.

Stephen laughed immodorately all tho
while, and was subsequently called on to
account for the trick; but hi. good nature
drove away all bad feelings.

The HARVEST OF DEATH.-Dr. Lyon,
brigade surgeon, at the battle of Wilson
Greek, was witness to the following extra
ordinary incident -
" A tall rebel soldier waved large and
costly Secession flag defantly, when a
cannon ball struck him to the earth, dead
y second soldier instantly picked up the
PROSTATE flag, and waved it again--a sec
ond cannon ball shattered his body. A
third soldier raised and waved the flag,
and third cannon ball crashed into his
breast and he fell dead. Yet the fourth
time was the flag raised, the soldier waved
it, and turned to climb over the fence with
it into the woods. As he stood astride the
fence a moment, balancing to keep the
heavy flag upright, fourth cannon ball
struck in his side, cutting him completely
in two, so that one-half of his body fell on
one side of the fence, and the other half
the other side, while the flag itself lodged
on the fence, and was captured few
minutes aftorward by our troops"
