FOREIGN MISCELLANY,


AS an argument in favor of civil marriages
an Italian newspaper cites the case of Don
Paolo Ruspoli, belonging to the princely fami-
~ of that name, who long solicited the papal
permission to marry Protestant English lady
and met with constant refusal At last he
went to Paris, where the marriage was cele-
brated. On his return to Rome, he found at
Civita Vecchia the exeat, which is an equiva-
lent to decree of exile. Since then he has
avoided the papal dominions, and has lived un-
molested in other parts of Italy. He has now,
after having been nearly three years married,
received a summons to present himself at
Rome in January next, to have his union pro-
nounced null and void by papal tribunal

A Plea for Liquor-Drinking.

We did not suppose there was sane man
living, of common observation and intelli-
gence, who at this late day would question
the evil effect of intoxicating drinks, in in
flaming human passions, in awakening into
wild aud dangerous life all the worst elements
OF human nature, and converting man into a
demon. But we were mistaken. The Pail
MaH (London) Gazette comes to the defence
OF iiquor-drinking, contending that it may
De safety-valve to the passions, and that
semrbarbarous nations, with whom passion
plays the widest and maddest tricks, and
with whom blood-shed itself is a passion, sell
dom if ever indulge in this mode of civilized
stimulating. The Gazette says the teetotal-
lers never deal with this fact, and then GOES ON
o say that
"As people the natives of India NOT onI,
do not get drunk, but regard the mere tastinr
OF liquor with fanatical adherence: vet fbe
average OF crime among them is at least as
high as in England, infinitely higher than In

soidlery, VINO never drink, are capable of any
crimes; and all the outrages of the mutiny
were committed by men who would srladIy

Want of Houses in Portland.

Mr.. EditOr:-I agree with the sentiments of
the article in your paper of Monday morning,
under the above caption, that there is.a great
want Of houses to accommodate working men
in this city. Business is rapidly increasing,
and there must be men to do the labor The
rapid increase of population has filled every
tenement that can be occupied as a residence,
and the area of the city is so small that land
within its limits has risen to such price that
it can only be used for first class houses. Any
one who looks at this matter will see that the
effect will be to drive the class of citizens who
have only small means and modest incomes
beyond the city limits for residences. 1 was
glad to see in one of your recent papers that
dummy car is shortly to be put on the York
& Cumberland, now the Portland & Roehes-
ter Railroad. This win enable those who wish
to live economically, to make residence in
some of the beautiful villages ON that road,
and at the same time attend to their business
in the city. .rs.
Congin, now Cumberland Mills, five miles
out, is one of the most active and thriving vii
lagos in the State. 1t has a large brick school
house and all the facilities for acquiring the
common branches of education possessed in
the city. Its population is active, industrious
and temperate, and, with its extensive water
power and facilities for business, is destined to
become one OF the largest and finest places for
residence around our city,
Building lots can be purchased for one hun
bred dollars on long credit if desired. S.

The Case of Green the Murderer.

1t was reported by telegraph few days since
that the Executive Council of Mass. had re-
fused to commute the sentence OF Edward
Green, convicted of the murder of young Con
verse in the Maiden Bank, and that he would
be hung. The last part of this intellsence
seems to have been gratuitous Inc council
simply declined to commute, but 1t was the
last official act of the old Council, and the
case went over, as a matter OF course, to be
DISPOSED ofby Gov Bullock and the new Coun-
Gil. --.
1t is well known that Gov Andrew deciin-

his well-known repugnance to the death pen
atty, but because of legal objections, which OBJ.
jections he took occasion to argue at length
before his Council just before his retirement

case, and the probable action of the new coun-
Gil, the Boston correspondent of the Spring
