Bri~nOIi in Paris.

Brignoli made his debut at the italian
Opera House in Paris OH Sunday evening,
November 81. The house was crowded.
Among the celebrities were the Due de
Moruy, Frezzolini, La Grange, and the
notorious ''Skittles" The latter is descri6-
ed as magnificent in her pearls, diamonds,
lace and ringlets. The opera was Marta"
with Patti as Enrichetta. Brignoll was
much frightened at first, and during the
first two acts the audience simply listened
to him, rarely applauding. and he evidently
was suffering with great dryness of the
throat. In the romanza in the third act,
however, he walked up both himself and
the audience. During the first part of it
"bravos" were heard from all parts of the
house, and at its close bursts of applause
and clapping of hands showed that the
debutant had made his mark. The song
was encored and sang again, even more
sweetly than before, and was even more
loudly applauded. Brignoli was then re-
called by the audience upon the stage to
again receive their plaudits. This mark OF
appreciation sequivalent to saying You'll
dO.n During the remainder of the opera
Brignoli was more warmed up, and at its
close he and Ratti and ,Delka Sedie were
called before the curtain. The critics say
that Brignoli initiates Mario, and the au-
dience of Sunday evening particularly no.
ticed the similarity between the two voices,
and their manner of "handling' them.
The "big critics have not yet expressed
themselves on Brignoli; but the little ones
who have spoken of him speak with great
favor Bagier has engaged him for three
years ateight thousand francs month.

,rI,e Comma Crnsh.

The Chicago Tribune, one Of the most ultra
of the Lincoln Abolition sheets, has the
following article. ltsays:
I All fast livers, spectators, as well as
those beginning to prick their ears for a
start toward extravaganza in expenditure
should give heed TO the wordsof wisdom.
The feeling is pervading all classes OF So
ciety. A paper dollar. says our eotempo,,
rary, is deprecated to forty -four cents, gold
value. Currency is plenty, and growing
plentier. Come easy, and go easy, Is the
nrevailine feeling. BlC sooner or later the
present abnormal condition of things will
erminate-perhaps gradually, perhaps sud-
denly. The values of all commodities, IN
cluding money, are feartully "watered."
But when the crash comes the water will be
baied out, leaving only what is represented
by the gold standard. Men are walking on
high stills, and are making long but inse-
cure strides. But all must disnOunt one of
these DAYS, and come down until their feet
touch the earth. Many will be precipitated
headlong who now tower aloft on their
stills. Wise and prudent men will prepare
in time for the inevitable change. The
class who will suffer by the termination, OF
war are those in debt. A merchant with a
stock of goods on hand worth say $5O,OOo'
and half paid for, will not realize thereirom
enough TO pay WIlaC ne OWES W HSll WY
goods are all sold, he will find himself still
In debt for them five to ten thousand dol
lars, and this debt he must lquidate, prln-
cipal and interest, with gold or its equiv
alent, or go into bankruptcy. The conse-
quence Of the end of the war on the debtor
class will be to increase every mans debts
about l25 per cent. An obligation of Si,-
600 will become, in practical effect, $4,000
That is, it will require property or labor
| now worth in currency $4,000 to pay it.
A note outstanding drawing ten per cent
interest, would now be equivalent to twenty
| five per cent, or thereabputs, to say moth
ing about the principal of the note, th'
difficulty of whose payment will swell in
corresponding ratio.
Our advice is for every man to pay OIL hi
debts, and4contract no new ones; to pay
cash for whatever he buys, and If he canno
do that, to go without the article. Do no
spread too much sail. Keep plenty of bal
last in the hold, and see that the anchors
are ready to let go when the hurricane
comes, and thereby prevent your vesse
from capsizing, foundering or dashing OF
the breakers of lee shore.

1t Takes Little Sticks 10 Make 81
Fire.

I once went to visit newly married
couple in country village. The bride was
a beautiful and intelligent girl, fond of
dress, music, painting, and all other graceful
things, and, what was far more rare, she
understood herown house-wOrl. and meant
TO do it. | knew this, and so | went to rest
in the fresh new bed with happy conf
dence in good nights sleep. and com
Portable breakfast in the morning. Sleep
came soon and daylight followed in due
time, but the breakfast was very long in
coming. :,
At last the welcome bell was heard; all
was right in the dining room but the hour
hand of the clock, which would persist in
pointing at an hour which made the pretty
hostess blush, and over the delicious coffee
she told us the cause of the delay. 1t was
no fault of hers; when we once looked at
her. we were sure OF that 1t was simply
owing to the fact that her husband had
not prepared kindling wood, and she had
spent full hour in the attempt to light q
fire. After the meal was over (and capi-
tai one it was) she took us to the wood
house, full of large dry sticks, hard and
sound, without chip or shaving, or Q bit
of charcoal, anywhere to be found. lhere
was no AK or hatchct on the premises, a"d

" blocks of wood, the young wife had on
ly her bright eyes, a box of matches, and
the morning paper.
Instead of marveling at the time it took,
we were only surprised that the fire had
been lighted at all. But when pair OF
strong hands, with an AK in them, came to
her relief and one of those large sticks was
changed to score of little ones, it was
worth second breakfast to see her look Of
content. .,
Now. children. you know it is love that
makes the fireside warm. The house is al
WAYS cold and cherries where the people
are unkind to each other. And in kindling
this fire that warns the heart, you, chill
dren, are the little sticks. This is what you
are good for. Look at the baby in the cra-
die. He cannot earn his own living; he
does not know how TO wait upon himself
and yet he is sometimes the most useful
member of the family.
He makes everybody love him, whether
they are willing or not, and his little heart
is brimfll of love for them IN return. Most
people are fond of pets, and like to keep a
bird, dog, or pony, something to love
and let love, if they can afford it; but of all
pets child is at once the dearest and the
cheapest. Many families cannot afford any
other; but in the very poorest houses you
see little white heads around the HEARTH
They are the little sticks that make Il
warm.- -JSprinafeld Republican.

Horrible Crime and Swift Rctribu-
~ fiOIi. rat.

There are crimes so horrible and revolt
ing In their character and the circumstan-
ces attending them that our blood almost
freezes in our veins, while cold chill pass
es over us and for an instant it Is difficult
to believe our sense of hearing Is true to its
officel
Such a crime was committed yesterday
near Fidelity, on the person of the wife of
Esq. Hoffman, a highly respectable citizen of
this county, by a Negro Man by the name of
Tom. Tom and his wife werein the employ
of Mr.. Chapman. Mrs. III. has been con-
firmed lunatic for many years.
Mrs. III. went to the house of Mr.. Chap
man, and when she left for home the wretch
Tom followed her, and knife in hand threat
ened to kill her on the spot'if she resisted
or made the least noise. After he accom-
plished his hellish purpose he told her he
would "cut her throat" il she made II
known. She Immediately returned to heI
home and informed her husband. William
Colburn, brother of Mrs. H., and Mr.. Saw
ace caught Tom and took him before her
who Instantly identified him, and wanted
to shoot him herself, but was prevented
when they took him to the woods and Col
burn shot him. Thus the wretch wai
speedily called to answer for his crime
This Is the second case of crime committed
in the vicinity of Fidelity, within few
weeks which met with quick and awfu
retribution.
Since the above was in type, we lear
that the negro Is still alive, and had bee

The Danger Ahead.

The London Times processes to believe
that onr civil war, unless ended by nego-
tiation and mutual compromise, will 60 on
until the South is made a bowling wilder
ness, and the North is prostrated financially
and commercially for years. On this
ground, It labors to prepare the people of
Great Britain to sustain their Government
in uniting with that OF France in puttinga
stop to the devastating war IN America by
means Of intervention, and the division into
two independent parts of the old American
Union-that object Of jealousy and hatred
to the consolidated and aristocratic govern
ments of the old world.
Here lies one great source of danger, SO
far as the preservation or restoration of our
old Union is concerned. As long as the
two warning sections continue to use each
other up, as they have been doing for the
past three years and half, foreign gov
ernments will probably not interfere, but
be content to let the work Of mutual de-
struction and slaughter go on. But should
one section be likely to triumph by the
prostration of the other, then, intervention
in favor of the weaker party may be ex-
pected, with the avowed object of stopping
the eifnsion Of blood and the desolation OF
relentless war, but really for the sole pur-
pose Of permanently dividinga people they
have heretofore learned to respect and fear,

abandoned wives than deserted Husbands,

their lot than ever. So intent are the Wr-
ters who holdthe views we are commenting

wrongs of women in dlscordant wcdlock,

er such regard should be OF that character

love, is question open to argument. were
itdecided In the affirmative, we lear the
effect would be to slut out the mass OF man
kind from matrimony altogether, as incapa-
BILE f'the sentiment. Some sort OF attrac-
tion, however, doubtless does draw together
nearly every man and woman that wed.
But experience teaches that in the majority
of cases nothing is more epheneral than
this attraction. Remaining and strength
ening with.years in few OF the higher
and best mated natures, in most It
shortly sinks into indifference, often with
a feeling of wrong, greater or less, working
at the heart of husband or wife, and per-
hans of both. To such cases as these Miss
Hamilton would apply the remedy OF sepa-
ration. How much liberty she accords the
parties afterwards we do not know, Dut
most writer's who take the same ground
proclaim a complete divorce with Il right
to re-marry. That separation, either par
tial or complete, would add to the happi-
ness of either party in the great majority
of such cases is in the highest degree ln-,
likely. And in re-marrying, the separated
pair would be but exposing themselves, &c
a second series of similar difficulties. Inc
complicating question of offspring we &c
not consider. What we aim at is to show
to women, and especially to women like
Miss Hamilton, that the remedy they pro
pose is worse than the disease. 1t is at va
rance with common sense. That it alst
strikes upon the moral sensibil litiespf thos'
who look upon marriage as sacramen
indissoluble in its very nature, save By
death, should not surprise indivlduqls Wh'
venture boldly to proclaim views opposed
to the general conscience. They shoult
receive such animadversions patiently, ant
ask if they themselves may not, after all
be wrong. We, in these briet comments
have confined ourselves to the practica
point of showing that, as means OF ameli
Grating the condition OF women, such
code of law as Miss Hamilton desires Woult
be worse than its failure.

The Richmond Sentinel Of Dec. ~ speaks
Of the mortality among the Confederate
prisoners sent by sea to Savannah to be ex-
changed as very remarkable. 1t had pub
lished a list of III, who died on the passage
to Savannah, and also list Of 63, who died
within a few days after being landed. OF
the number embarked for Savannah, many
more had fallen. The Sentinel attributes
this mortality to the fact that exchanges
were limited to the feeble, the sick and the
dying.
Similar classes of Federal prisoners in
rebel hands were, according to The Sentinel
sent to the truce boat to be exchanged. 1T
was for them only, it alleges, that our au-
thorities had bargained. Thepoor creatures,
it says, reached the boats, worn and wasted
by sickness, and evidencing by their ap-
pearance that they should be in the hospit-
ais instead of travelling. The Sentinel COM
plains that these facts are seized upon to
calumniate the Confederacy, of which it
speaks as reluctant party toa commerce
worse than ''the middle passage" and only
better than protracted imprisonment. 1t
also complains that our returned men arc
considered as samples of the rest who have
been left behind, and that the weakness and
emaciation of the former are charged to
starvation, and not to sickness.
In the same article The Sentinel charges
bad treatment of rebel prisoners who fall
into our hands, even to the extent that they
are kept in the torment of continual hun
ger. But at the same time it processes no
to take the sick men who are sent home a
samples of the rest, and not to represen
the emaciation Of the former as due to star
vation, and not to sickness. There is NJ
doubt that much Misrepresentation is in
dulged in on both sides, and that there ar
serious grounds for complaint on each. !
great deal of the sickness, of which Th
Sentinel speaks as the cause of emaciatior
| is due to the unhealthiness Of camps an
prisons to insufficient and unwholesom
! food, to want of proper clothing and clean

RmbtACuutOm Oh AmcOamo A -
The Administration papersAThe Clncin-
natl gasette and Commercial, and the Column
bus Joarnal--have published long lists OF
the names Of individuals with the amount
Of their income tax annexed. The Journal
has gone to the extent Of publishing all the
names Of income tax payers in this city,
and the amount of tax paid by each. The
object Of these publications is alleged to
have been, to enable the public to arrive at
the amount of income given in, and sworn
10 by individuals, as liable to taxation.
We have nothing now to say about the
propriety or impropriety OF these expos
ures. They may be necessary in the pres
ent state of public morals, and in presence
OF the Temptations that beset men to con-
ceal the actual amount of their pecuniary
resources, in order to escape as far as possi-
Nle the heavy burdens of taxation. BE this
as it may, these publications have given
rise to no small mount of scandal uttered
by the papers named above, and their
CORRESPONDENTS. Men have been accused
by them of duplicity, fraud and perjury
In making returns of their income, and in
situations have been thrown out that
parties who have grown rich by Govern
ment contracts and through facilities for
making money afforded them by the Fed
eral authorities, have been guilty of with
holding large part Of their income thus
derived, from the Assessors books, and
have thus practiced, it is alleged, most
Infamous fraud on the Government.
To what extent these things are so in our
city or elsewhere, we do not pretend to
know. But Administration journals allege
that this state of affairs is quite general
throughout the country. They have called
upon the Federal authorities to apply a
rectifying process. 1t is stated that in the
First Collection District in Hamilton coun-
ty, orders have been issued from Washing
ton to institute proceedings against persons
who, there is reason to believe, have been
guilty OF attempting to cheat the Govern
mentby false statements as to the amount OF
their income. Similar action, it is said, has
been and is to be taken in other quarters.
As tile Administration Journalists have
taken this matter in hand. we leave them
to finish the work they lave begun so pat
riotically and so unseilishly, as they seem
to think. II they leave the work half un-
finished, with the bare publication of the
naked lists and the insinuations they have
already made, or permitted to be made in
their columns, the public will begin to sus-
pect that it was all done in order to extort
little hush money from wealthy individ-
uals, and that patriotism or desire to pro-
mote the ends of justice had little to do
with their boasted exposures.
