gBrA London paper say that Kossuth is
now residing in the environs of Turin. He
is in actual want of the necessares of life his
wife is in rapid consumption, and he is sour

rgThe Union men of New Orleans do not
speak of those who are opposed to the Union
and the Constitution as rebels or secessionsts,
but as democrats. A democrat there is Il
man opposed to the government. That is
precisely the distinguishing characteristic of a
Northern so-called democrat
LEA gallant soldier was once heard to
say that his only measure of courage was
this: upon the first fire | Immediately look
upon myself as dead man: / then fight the
remainder of the day regardless of danger as
dead man should be. All my limbs which l
carry out of the field l regard as so much
gained, or as SO much saved out of the
fire."
A good deal is said in Paris about the cru
city of vivisection. or the dissection of animals
while alive, for purposes of study. The prac-
tice seems to be extremely prevalent Ami
mails never faint from loss of blood but die in
torture. which makes the matter worse. At
the veterinary college of Abort the students
contrive to get sixty operations ont of a
horse before he dies; and all this is said to be
perfectly unnecessary, as a dead animal would
do just as well as live one.
srThe London Star and other papers
comment upon the enormous increase in
child murder in England. attributing it partly
to there being more women than men in the
world; partly to the hesitation of juries to
convict, where capital punishment follows
virdiet ofguity the sevareity of public opin-
ion upon female unchastity, and the use of
crinoline, which enable women more easily to
hide their shame.
sg-Sir James Graham's father was full
of anecdotes of that sociable divine, Arch.
deacon Paley, and loved to tell how some one,
prasing the conjugal peace enjoyed by a
gentleman in the neigbbourhood, who had
no argument for more than thirty years. ap-
peaed to Paley whether it were not admira-
able as domestic example. ''No doubt" said
the doctor, sit was vera praiseworthy but
it must have been vera dool.'
-Thurlow Weed, having been charged
by the Rochester Union, with holding init
mate relations with Fernando Wood and
Ben. his brother, denies the charge in most
emphatic manner. In letter to the editor
ofthat paperh declares that. 'fNosuch relation
between the Woods and myselfexst / have.
from the beginning ofthe rebellion, regarded
them as disloyal men, have never favored
any lie gislatiye or other project of Fernando
Wood"
sg-The following. we find going the rounds
vof the papers without any paternity. Itisas true
as preaching. "God never alters his method.
We may hurry ourselves, but we cannot hur-
ry him. After all, the grass takes just as long
to grow, and the oak to develop, and the
processes of nature to untold themselves.
And we may be sure that just so much effort
must go to just so much result The great
law of God must be obeyed, or the reward
which follow the disobcdience of those laws
will have to come"
sBrThe Unitarian Society in New Bed
ford, Mass, have voted unanimously to give
their pastor, the Rev, Mr.. Potter. who enter
ed the United States service in person. leave

signed to special duty by the War Depart
ment. Rev. A. NJ. Haskell, of Salem Mass,
who also declined to commute or procure a
substitute, has been appointed chaplain of the
Fortieth regiment Massachusetts Volunteers.
sg-The Boston Journal, in late issue,
gives the political character of the so fifty
styled Copperhead. although he stays at
home in retirement, he claims to know more
about the national contest than any OF its ac-
tors. He tells the soldiers that they are not
fighting to put down the rebellion, but mere
ly to uphold despot at Washington. He
tells the president of the United States that
he does not know the most obvious ,constitu-
tional limit of his sphere, but is violating
more laws than the rebels themselves. He
tells the rebels that what they really want is
peace, while they say directly to the contrary.
and the President confirms their veracity in
this respect, He tells the negro that he can
not fight, and aught not to be allowed to if he
could, while the latter contents himself with
pointing to Port Hudson and Fort Wagner, and
letting his modest caluniniator have his talk
out.
The Paris correspondent of the n. Y.
