The London Quarterly Review contains
ten long articles on different topics. NC"
Paris" is review of number OF recent
works by different authors, concerning inc

that "Balzae relates when, in 1915, Bluchcr

to let IL siand,' said BluChcr; That great
cancer will he the ruin of France, ana
then adds that "the remark, ii the gallant
veteran ever uttered it, does credit 10 his sa-
gacity." But half century having elapsed
since that "saying," Is it not questionable
to say the least of it, whether Bluchcr's sa
gaciiy has not sadly failed in this instance
The writer himself says that "Paris is th'
head, the heart, the brain of the Frencl
people," Aud after reading his article WI

ITALY.

Dispatches from Florence state that Carl |
baldi still remains at Monte Rotondo, TO
which place lie retired when he received the
news of the landing of the French and the
advance of the Italian troops. Deeming ii
hazardous TO make any attack on Rome with
an insufficient force, he has concentrated all
his volunteers at Monte Rotondo, where he
has taken up strong position and gone into
camp. His men have since been actively
engaged in throwing up intrenchments,
which are now complete. There he will
await rcinforcements and watch the course
of events.
To the summons OF the King 10 disarm,
Garlbaldi replied by refusing 10 disband his
army or give up his enterprise against
Rome, unless change is made in the pre-

in accord with the national will.

Victor Emmanuel to submit to the citizens

In which the interests of The whole nation
arc so deeply concerned.
The attaches OF the foreign legation, now
in Washington, look upon the Italian trou
hles as likely to lead to more serious results
than have already appeared. The French
officials there declare that the course of Vic
tor Emanuel is one of douhle-dealing, ant
: that he is secretly aiding Garibaldi in viola
ton of the stipulatons of the treaty of Sep
tember, 1864, regarding the capital ot Italy
and for which the King, they say, will HI

copyright of a work in manuscript entitled
the Tower of Babel Discovered, and the De-

contained in about $50 loolscup Alto pages.
The author and compiler asserts that he has
made one of the most important discoveries
of the present age, namely, that of demon
strating the identity OF the Great Pyramid
of Egypt with the ancient biblical Tower
OF Babel; and proving, by conclusive evi-
dcnce, that the Mosaic Deluge was local

African lake the remains of which he points
out, and also indicates in detail the cause of
the great catastrophe"

A BITTER LEssoN.-'rhe Philadelphia
-NOrh american OF Monday week, contains
the following report OF a case in the criminal
court OF that city.
IA very sad case met our attention in the
criminal court on Saturday, The circum-
stances and everything attendant seemed
cold and cruel. A young man named Samuel
IL. White sirayed from the path of rectilude
and rendered himself liable To the penalty
OF the laws. He stopped suddenly in his
inquity, repented and reformed He found
u comfortable and well paying situation, and
for three years filed it with entire satislac-
tion TO his employer. In former days he
had frequenled haunis of vice. A woman
who keeps a bagnio was robbed some time
since OF a sum of money The pocket-book
that contained 1t was found secreted in
| graveyard, III the vicinity of the house
where White boarded. The woman caused
his arrest on suspicion Of robbing her, though
| years had elapsed since he had crossed her
threshold. He was honorably absolved from
all completely in the affair, and III turn be-
came suitor against the woman for malici-
Gus litigation lie soon found the truth of
the sRying, Hell hath no fury like woman
scorned" In time gone by White had been
arrested on charge of passing counterfeit
money IN Delaware county. There is man
in the employ OF the highway department,
hanger-on ut her house. Him she interest
ed Win her IN the ALTAR. lie went 10 the
scene OF Whites uansgresslon, caused the
! long forgotten prosecution to be made, and
White was arrested at his home in this city.
White was before Judge Ludlow on Satur-
day on habeas corpus, but mn ex.Sheritl ol
Delaware county, testified TO the truth o
the case, and Judge Ludlow, much as he
: commiseratcd the young man, was compel
ed TO order his return for trial to Delaware
county.
5 Counsellor O'Byrne performed generous
1 act on the occasion. He gave White lelte
c to an attorney of Delaware county, in which
Il he offered not only to pay all the costs o
+ the trial, but to indemnify any citizen wh'
c would enter the required bail. This cas-
f. comes home TO every young man upon tn
II threshold OF lie. Let such cling as tenacious
y ly 10 their honor as the miscr clings to hi
n gold. Let them never lose sight OF the iaC
e, that good name and fame is at all time
10 the equivalent of capital, and that this sid
ut Of the grave no tears can oblitcrate the stat
of an offence against the statutes"
