A CURT ANsW years ago, an
old sign painter, VINO was very cross, very
gruff. and little deaf, was engaged to
paint tho Ten Commandments on souie
tablets in a church not five miles from
Buffalo. He worked two days at it, and
at the end Of the second day the pastor OF
che church came to sec how the work pro
gressed. The old man stood by smoking
short pipe, as the reverend gentleman
ran his eyes over the tablets. . Eh !"
SAID the pastor, as his familiar eye detect
eG something wrong IN the wording of
the precePts why, you careless old per-
son, you have left part of oLe Of the
commandments entirely out; don't you
see 7"
" No, no such thing" said the old man
putting on his spectacles; "no, nothing
lett out-wEere 20
/" Why, there - persisted the pastor,
Z" look at them IN the Bible you have
left some of the commandments ont"
Well, what if | have?:' said cid OBJ
stinacy, as be ran his eye complacently
over his work '' what if L fave? There )
more there now than you'll keep
Another and a more correct artist was
employed the next day.

Foreign News.

NEW YORK, Oct. %.
A very interesting presentment of politi-
cal social and miscellaneous affairs and evenss
in Eas.an2, kIance and Italy, Is furnished in
the HeraIfs correspondence from the capi.
tails of all these countries. Among their con-
tents is disclosure of an arrangement which,
it is said, was entered into between the En-
peror Louis Napoleon and Macmillan, at the
time of the establishment of the Mexican
Empire, by which pledge to sustain that es-
tabishment against all foes was made by the
former potentate. by which, in return, Max
milan stipulated in case he should die with
out issue, that Mexico should become q
French colony.
1t appears that the aristocracy, and fnan-
ciers Of England are not the only Europeans
of their respective classes who were victimi-
zed by the Lpnds Of the JED Dayis tCohfedt-
racy, as some Frenchmen of note are men
toned as having suffered to an uncomfortable
extent, through Investments in those secu-
rites.
In Italy the excitement caused among the
people by the financial minister's announce
ment of purpuse to impose new and exceed
ingly burdensome taxes, have been ailayed
by the Government officially acknowledging
its error, and promising to make speedy cor
rections in manner that will prove entire y
satisfactory.
Notwithstanding the hostile attitude to-
ward each other Of the Kingdom OF Italy and
Austria, it is said that while the latteris in
creasing her armed force, the former is di-
minishinR hers.

SosE of the New York bankers have adopted
the plan of paying interests on deposits. With
regard to the practical workings of it, the New
York Journal Of Commerce OF Wednesday last
says:
I've are inclined to thinS that the question Of
allowing interest on deposits has come before the
banks Of this city in new line ofargument within
the last few days. Those who have been quite
willing to receive these deposits and allow four
per cent interest upon them, have found by expe-
rienee, that moneyed pressure is eloquent with
reasons why they should reconsider their decision.
Some who have made the deposits have also re
ceived warning lesson, and win be less greedy
hereafter. 1t is truethatthe money Was subject to
caaL but when there is lttle uptosr il Gnsncisl
cifeiee, the cali has 10 be 1oud tbee cften puts
the lender out of breath before he ohtans his funds
Thus, both aides have seen the subject IN a new
light and the arrangement seems much less desi-
rable than it did few weeks ago.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Il.
The Wirz military commission reassembled
today. H'9a~
Judge Advocate Chapman proceeded to
read his argument on the charges Of alleged
murder, in violation and contrary to the laws
and customs of war, treating the subject un-
der four heads as follows: lst. various cases
of death resulting from mutilation by hounds;
I'd, those resulting from confinement in the
stocks and the chain gang; Sd, the charges of
killing Of prisoners by guards pursuant to in
structions Of the accused, given at the time !;
4th, cases of killing by the prisoners own
hands. He briefly argued the responsibility
of the accused, and said that their death was
murder for which heais aeco1sftaBle,, he hayl
ing grossly violated the laws and customs of
war.
After Col. Chipman's reading Of his srgu
ment, the prisoner requested that DR.. Bates
might examine his person in the presence of
the Court, to show that he was physically ins
capable Of committing the acts of murder,
and the brutalities alleged against him. The
request was granted.
