IT 1B o curious incident in connection with tho
nows from Mexico that q cablo dispatch from Vi
emma laBt week stated that rumor WAS prevailing
in that capital OF tho death OF tho Empetor MAXI
MILAN in Mexico. Mexican nova announce his
capture by JuAREz on tho 15thi and if tho ordor
reported 10 havo boon ISSUED for bis execution
reached Vienna by spiritual telegraph. This ordor
however, is as yot only mntter Of rumor, aud we
have no ground whatever for oven supposing that,
il issued, it has been executed
AMERICAN CITIZENS who hoped to improve their
condition by going to Honduras, Mexico, Brazil,
Venezuela, d., arc finding from costly experience
that thoy wore under a d ,usion. Many havo al
ready returned. Tho AL = tGa.) Era gives o
dismal account Of things in Spanish Honduras,
furnished by an cmigrant from that place, who is
glad to got homo again. The land ia very fertile,
but tho climate is hot, tho inhabitants arc but half
civilized, and tho only BY OF taxation known is

a reptition OF tho old story trom similar advoutu-

THr gradual extension Of. the Prussian or North
German systom, affords practical evidence Of its
adnp. ability to the wants Of the people. The petty
statos that were not directly included In tho FIRST
movement for reorganization, are making efforts
TO join the North German Confederation under the
auspices Of Prussia. .yhe "AeaernbIy Of the Bur-
geHses at Bromon hns ndoptSd tho Constitution OF

bato. The Dict common T. tho two Dpchies Of
dotha and Coburg, has unanimously adopted the
Federal Constitution OF the Morrill, The German
subjects Of Austria feel that they are loft out in
The cold, and manifest in various ways decided
preference for the new system. Manifest deatiny
seems to be on tho aldo of tho Pruasians-or,

dream Of GerInan patriotism will be realized, and
no foreign power will hold single foot Of German

Aftcr declaring that 'the great and paramount
question of the day viii soon bo the debt and
taxation Of the people," that paper says; "We
cannot hep thinking, and saying, too in strict
confidence to tho readers OF this Journal, that
stupid, and dull, and roiceloss IS tic public may

will, sooner or later, hayo to rocogniso. 10 is

moro than is paid by tho most heavily taxed poo
pie Of Europe, and ut tho Same time he Is paying
for commodities of nl kinds and labor ,ffty-hye
and ono hundred and fifty per cent. more than any
other people i'll the world. In England the taxes
ere heavy, no doubt but food, clothing and rent
nro cheap. In Russin living Is expensive, but the
taxes arc light; but here in tho United states the
public groans under tho simultaneous burden Of
heavy taxes and expensive living. Wo hhvo no

this load, ald TINT tho party who laid It on his
shoulders will itself bo laid pretty Iow."
