European Ttems.


From the Chicago Republican
Great preparations are making at Venice for the
reception OF the king and the city OF lagunes has
awaked from its long slumber as by magic. Every
body is busy with something that is to demonstrate
his joy on the great day when the last Austrian
soldier is to leave, and the first soldier of Italy
to enter except the priests and their dupes who
do not forget that Victor Emmanuel is excommu.
nicated, and therefore accursed. The theaters are
to be opened the same evening" for the first time
since Austrian rule, and Patti is to be the first to
awaken the echoes in the Grand Opera, 80 long
yelled in darkness and silence
We mentioned in our last the death of twenty.
four young girls in an orphan establishment in
Naples where it seemed very mysterious thatnOn
of the boys in the same institution were attacked.
1t is revealed that the priest who had the care
OF them had, for long time, buried those who
died in cellar of the convent, and made no de-
clarati0n, as is required. In the same cellar was
q well which had not for long time been used,
but there being scarcity of water twas resorted
TO, and the consequence was that all who drank OF
it were attacked. The boys had been supplied
from another, and therefore escaped.
New islands are sprnging up on the coast OF
Lisbon, similar to those Of last year in the Archi.
pelago, and strange phenomena are seen in the
Indian seas. Those who are digging in the earth
near Toulon have discovered what seems part OF
an ancient city, which, from the nature OF the
structures, skeletons, and other remains, must
have belonged to the Romans. The savans are in
great spirits in the midst of all these wonders in
the heavens above and the earth beneath, and
from their laboratories will probably soon come
forth the causes.
A German has invented q marvellous gunpow-
der which is to be proved in a few DAYS at Tro-
cadero and which is to save life as well as to des
troy. He asserts that it will not explode in the
open air. He has built house in which a quantity
is to be placed and lighted. 1t will burn but not
explode. Another quantity is to be inclOsed and
Theoretically sealed. 1t will burst its bands and
destroy them.
II this should be demonstrated to the salts fac
tion of all, powder will be no longer fearful ex
cept III war. The inventor says it will be much
cheaper, and the manufacture SO simple that it
can be made on board ships. We SHAH soon
know.
A little boat may be seen every day on the lake
of the Bos de Barlogue, which is moved by cleo
tricity, which is another wonder; and all these
marvels will be collected in the great exhibition,
to which we hope Americans are sending theirs;
and they have many which will seem more mar
velous to millions of Europeans who have no idea
of labOr-saving machines.
4 priest Of the same city has inserted in a jour
nal that an infallbe cure for cholera is to place
portrait of tSt. Joachim, the father of the Virgin
Mary upon the abdomen. Alas, for the people
where such priests rule
Again poor woman who could not walk who
had been for years nearly bent double, who was
pronounced by the physicians within a few hours
of death, has been cured by swallowing piece of
the casaock Of the Pope, and this is published in
book called the Spirit Of Plus TX"
1t will probably be considered of sufficient i'm
portance for the great cable to announce that a
severe shock of earthquake was felt on the l4th
throughout all the northern and western parts of
France only that the wise men of the academy are
inclined to ascribe the phenomenon to shocks of
electricity in the air. instead Of commotons in the
earth In one place all the beer in cellar was
turned In another, curious effects Of light were
observed, and the atmosphere, for some hours
previous seemed heavy. Birds in cage lattered,
and tried to escape. In the center of Paris
nothing peculiar was observed, but at Passy and
Auteuil, which are suburbs, people were awakened,
bells were rung, and persons walking were thrown
down.
