~ Special advices from Florence,
dated May %, state that war between
Italy and Austria was regarded as GER
tain, Notwithstanding the efforts Of
England, France and Russia for con-
gress. The general opinion was that
no arrangement made in a congress
would or could satisfy Italy, as the
Italians insist on having Venetia.-
Austria, it was said, gained vastly by
delay. The writer says in conclusion :
''Kossuth is expected here; he is COM
ing to have an interview with Garibal
di, who will arrive soon. The fortify-
ing of Genoa is being carried on with
some Vigor. Some say the Italian
Ministry fear an alliance between
England and Austria.

having her decks cut and burned"
We know of great many decks
daily cut that it would do no harm to
burn. But it is misfortune that these
deckers leave their cards, cut and run.
The authorities occasionally give these
deckers ''carte Blanche" and wink
so often at their operations that they
may be excused if they cant see it."

The above paragraph we clip from

in regard to the reproduction in his

pondent has the following:
within the next eighteen months
some eight hundred millions of dollars
have to be paid or funded in order to

gold must be worth more than par in

will prefer paper, which will secure a
larger rate of interest. If gold is

n The policy of the radical party
is to level distinctions founded upon
race, and to create and nourish others
founded upon wealth. From this party
we get amalgamation and political
equality and Manhood Suffrage;" and
from the same party we get shoddy,
the would-be aristocratic element of
the day. The legislation of this party
would place the negro and the white
upon the same level, but it exempts
the bonds of the rich man from taxa
ton, and thereby necessitates the
broadcast possible distinctions between
the rich and the poor classes. The
efforts of the same party IN Congress
tend constantly to favor the swollen
capitalists of New England by dis
eliminating against the more democrat
ic communities of the west. It is, in
short, a party which is determined
upon absolving all distinctions save
such as are founded upon wealth.
