A BOGUS CoUNT.-A young Prussian, who
came to this country about fifteen months ago,
and was introduced to many respectable fami-
lies as Adolph Graf zu Donna Count Dohnal
has been borrowing money extensively and
leaving unsettled bills in this city and else
where, and proves to be an imposter. His
real name is Stabenow and while in military
sclo j in Berlin, with D. Kube, he with two
others (who are now serving sentence in pri-
son for the same crime), stole the copperplate
card plate of the Count Donna Adolph Graf

of cards printed, and visited a number of ho-
tells and for some time lived in elegant style

SENATOR SHERMAN ON THE TARrFF.-Sena-
tor Sherman spoke at Springfield, Ohio, las
week, when he expressed himself on the sub
iect of tariff and taxation as follows: He
believed it unwise and unfair to remove the
duty from imported paper while the h m
manufacturers had to pay a tax equal to ten
per cent. on what they made. The revenue
from imported paper amounted to three OF
four millions of gold per annum, and the
Senate thought the country could not afford &c
lose this sum. The Committee on Finance
were unanimously of this opinion. A tax on
paper is generally unwise 1t is tax on
knowledge, and except under extraordinary
circumstances should not be imposed. Mr.
Sherman believed that the next Congress
might find it expedient not to remove the duty
from imported paper, but to lessen the inter
nal tax on the home made article. The finan'
cial condition of the country was getting tc
be such that this might be done. The stamp
duty, he thought, would be the first to be re-
pealed next winter, after it the tax on iron,
then the tax on paper.

The repeated visits of the Empress of Aus
tria to Kissingen, and the great benefit she
hi derived from its waters, have greatly help
ed to bring that locality into favor. 1t is said
her health is completely restored aud that
she has quite passed out of the circle of inva-
lids. The wife of Francis Joseph is one Of
the most beautiful women in Europe; and
famed equally for the kindness of her temper
and the charm of her manner She is tall,
slender, graceful, with very white skin, and,
when pretty well, good deal of color, large,
liquid blue eyes, and an amazing head of light
hair, which she wears in eight massive braids,
wound round and round her head, forming a
magnificent diadem of hair such as very few
women could match from their own resources
She speaks all the principal tongues of Eu-
rope, and is particularly fond Of the English
language, which she speaks perfectly as though
it were her native dialect. She is an excellent
musician, paints and draws extremely well
and is one of the boldest and most slzilfu
horse-women of the day. She possesses a
stud of very valuable horses and pack OF
splendid hounds; and it is said to take the
warmest interest in the racing and hunting Of
all Europe, and to know by heart the names
of the heroes of the turf, biped and quadruped
! of all the countries of Europe.

Arizona was the theatre of an ancient civil

are more interesting people. They live
upon the mountains and cultivate the land in
the valleys, for which they pay a tribute of
lilo to the Apaches. They now number
about 10000; are of fair complexion and
somewhat European features. Some Welsh
colonists of Utah visited them and found re-
markable similarities oflanguage, the same in
