RistorI I'm Paris for Her
Return 20 America.

PARIS, June 6, 1S67.-Madame Ris-
tori has been most warmly welcomed to
the scene of her early triumphs, and
honors flow upon her every day.
She is not only anticipating with
pleasure her return to America, but she
is making arrangements to render her
next visit as attractive as the former
one. She will add some great artists
to her company. Among these it is
probable Majeroni will be engaged-an
artist who takes rank with Salvini and
Rossi. Much difficulty attends the en-
gagement of such an artist, but nothing
will be left undone to secure Maleronls
invaluable services. -"
It has been quite amusing to witness
the efforts made by the photographers
and photographers to rival each other
in making pictures of Madame Ristori.
Giacometti, the author OF Elizabeth
and Judith, who is the most effective
dramatist of Italy, is now III this CITY
on visit to Madame RistOri.
The plot of Marie Autoinette has
been decided upon, and the play will
be completed by the middle of July
Mons. Worth, the costumer, is making
4
correct in every particular. The LII
brary of Paris is full of interesting de-
tails pertaining to the period and the
scenes of the play, and the librarian
has undertaken to afford every facility
to those employed to prepare the re,
quisite drawings for the scenery ano
| dresses.
| Among the many entertainments tC
which Madame Ristori has been invit
ed since her arrival was that at NJ. Huff
fer's, the Prussian Minister. 1t was {
ball given liz honor of the King o
Prussia. 1t was a very brilliant affair
and lasted till late in the morning -
i Madame RistOri and her family engag
ing the attention of the King for two
or three hours. He was very much in
terested with regard to Madame's ex
allied opinions of America in every re
spect and its great future.
1t will be interesting for you to know
how the public 40 large have been urg
ing managers TO engage Madame Risto
1 ri. Nj. Bagier, Of the italian opera, hai
followed the suggestions of the press
ard has secured her for four represen
tations. On Wednesday, the 18th inst
she will appear as Elizabeth; on Fri
day, the 14th, as Mary Stuart, and oil
Tuesday, the 18th, as Medea. From
present appearances the entire fashion
of Paris will attend these perform
auces; for the success of RlstOrl II
| America has made such n sensation
here that even those who have seen he
are anxious to renew their memories o
her style. The great artistic did no
wish to accept even this engagement
but she could not resist the importuni-
ties that she should crafty the public
and the press, clamOrous for her reap
| nenrance.

PRINTING WITHOUT INK. the
curious inventions in the Paris Expo
sition is a process for printing without
ink. According to the London Print
er's Register the system was invented
by a Frenchman named M. Gustave
LehOyer, and specimen on exhibition
contains one hundred and fOTty-five
letters an seven different kinds of type,
and two colors-red and black-cOm-
posed, and one hundred copies printed,
all in three minutes. The printing was
done in thirty-two seeOndsl nj. Lee
hOyer has taken out a patent IN Eng
land as well as other countries. His
machines appear to be chiefly intended
for cards and bills, letter-heads, &c.
The time expended in the usual mixing
process must, of course, be saved In
the working of hand machines The
colors are good and well printed. A
chemical paper or other fabric overlies
the card or paper to be printed on, and
the types are rapidly stamped upon
this endless chemical band, which i'm
presses the color on the card. The
band lasts for several days In constant
work, and costs about three half-penee
sterling.

peror and Empress arrived, and were
met by the embassy du conlptet. AS
soon as they had arrived the ball room
was opened, with the band playing
s'PdTtant pour Ia SyI-ie," and the en-
trance of the royal cortege, the Empe-
ror walking i'm with the Queen of the
Belpians, the Empress with King Leos
mold IL, the Prince of Prussia with
the Grand Duchess of Leuchtenberg,
the Princess Royal with her brother
the Duke of Edinburg, whose depart
ure for Marseilles is fixed for Thursday
evening. Then followed the Princess
MathiIde, the Princess Murat, the Due
and Duchess de Mouchy, the Ambassa-
doris of England. Russia, Prussia and
Turkey, the Corps Diplomatique, and
the suite of royal personages present.
The Belgian Queen looked very well,
and her stately appearance gained Tor
her the admiration of the old Fan
bOurg, who had been invited, and had
/ answered the invitation, notwithstand-
| ing the card informed them that they
would meet Napoleon III. and his con
sort. The Princess Royal looked re-
markably well. and her kind, good,
and bright countenance excited the al
miration of all. Her quiet English
manners and dignified department were
brought out in charming relief. There
was considerable number of beauties,
semi.beauties, gone-by-beauties, and
coming beauties. Among the hrst one
/ may mention, of course, the three
Paris deities de Mouchy, de Gallltet
and de Pourtles, Madame de Couryal
Madame de BallerOy, and Mrs. hon
aids; and among the last Mdlle d'
Grammont and Md'lle de Grety. Th,
cotillion began at half-past three, anC
actually lasted till near seven. One o
the figures consisted in giving fans t.
tbe ladies, on which were IN
scribed the words "Ambassade d
Antr1che- 2S Mai" as
"reminiscences of the fete, the hOnOrs o
which were so admirably done by the
Princess. She was all to AL, looked
after everything with an energy an6
withal n grace quite unparalleled
There were two supper-rooms on th'
first floor for the imperial party, an'
as soon as these were open the three
others on the ground-fioOr for simple
mortals were likewise opened. But /
everything was charming the musl,
was ideal. Often were waltzes an(
polkas cheerel and encOred during thu
evening. The orchestra had been 10
Gated in the shrubbery, and to SET
twenty or thirty German heads peepinl
with all the curiosity of children at the
display of beauty, artificial or other
otherwise, which went to and fro be
fore them, was quite amusing. Tha

fortune of being present mt the Meter
Mich ball last Tuesday will ever forget
1t was n real Iete, a real success, due en-
tirely to the organizing mind OF the
Austrian Ambassador.

From an excellent communication
published in the Columbus, Mississippi,
Index, we copy the following express
ly for the girls:'
Being old and therefore allowed Ii
cense for teasing the girls on matrimo-
NAL subjects, / consult them about
their future prospects often, and find
that the opinion obtains with them,
that the young men were never so slow
in proposing as in these days; which,
we must admit, gives them a good, not
10 say all-powerfui reason for taking q
husband. Now, young ladies, the
whole secret with nine-tenths of you,
of not being able to get off your pa
rents hands, is simply that you do not
know how to work. You can't keep
house, You don't know how to make
pair of breeches. You can't tell, for
the life of you, the difference between
bran and shorts, or which COW gives
the buttermilk. The young men gen.
skin of their teeth" with no fortune,
l might say, but their wardrobes OF
gray and their canteens, and to marry
with them now, rest assured, relates
more to making living with the as
sistance of allowing, industrious help
mate, than indulging In opera music,
moonshine and poetry. Do you know
what they say of one of your butterfly
young ladies who has held them in the
parlor engaged by the hour listening
TO elegant nothings?" Nineteen times
out of twenty is this-"Well. she is all
right for an evenings entertainment
but she will not make a good wife,"
There is no possible objection to the
accomplishments of music, painting
and the like, as such, but the idea is tC
be able to set these prior amusements
aside for the period when the stern du
ties of married life call for your practi
cal knowledge. Show the young mel
that you can do your part of double bu
siness; that you can cook meals Wet
uals on a pinch; that you can SWEEP
up, and dust, and save a penny to
wards an accumulated pound; that yoJ
will not be IA dead expense to hin
through life. Believe me, your friends
as many true, heroic and wOmanly
hearts beat over household duties a.
flutter beneath the soft hight of thu
parlor chandelier. Your kiss is just a
sweet, your smiles is just as bright
your heart just as happy and tender
after days exertion in a sphere worthy
of true womanhood, as in places of dis
sipatiou, frippery and silly amusement
Have an ambition to do your part II
life; cultivate industrial habits, and lie
the parlor accomplishments go with TIN
higher accomplishments have rOnghl.
enumerated. It is astonishing hov
soon domestic young lady is foun'
out and appreciated. 1t is because sh
is such rare exception to the genera
rule.

THE ARMY WoRM.-In Niagara county,
Western New York, the army worm is
committing dreadful ravages among
the orchards. In places, the whole
population turns out 20 do battle to
save their fruit and gardens. They
attack tree in such numbers as to
cover the leaves and fruit which they
utterly destroy. If the trunk of tree
is covered with tarred paper they can
not ascend it and they start for another
orchard. 1t is doubtful whether this
is the real army worm of the south,
but it is probably the caterpillar of
New England. If it is the army worm
it's progress can be stopped by blowing
burrows and then digging bitches eigth
inches deep with straight sides. Into
this they will crawl and only with great
difficulty can they get out. Then streW
straw over them, set it on fire, and
their day is done.-N. Y. Tribune.

Ths ClerlenI CeIehratlon a Rone.

A letter of the 30th Of May from
Rome SAYS that the priests continue to
arrive. They are determined TO be in
good time for a celebration which will
occur only on one of the very days of
this month. A great number of high
church dignitaries are expected. The
Archbishop of TolOsa has written TO
have a convent prepared for his accom-
mediation and for that of eighty priests,
who are to compose his suite. Such
an enormous retinue is not unprece-
dented. In 1862 the Bishop of MOulins
arrived In Rome with a train of sixty
five ecclesiastics. The letter says:
For the centenary of st. Peter Rome
will be full of priests, but it is thought
that few laymen will come. Mean
while, great preparations are making.
This morning the municipal council
met to decide what should be done to
celebrate the day. 1t voted 5O,O0Of.,
which will not go very far. The festival
will be almost exclusively ecclesiastical.
There will be an extraordinary lllumin-
alton of the basilica of the Vatican on
the Doth, and one of the basilica of st.
Paul for the Both. There are not enough
lustres in all Rome, and they have been
sent for from Naples and Florence, so
you may Judge that it is intended to do
something magnificent IN the way OF
illumination in those two churches.
The Pope is much pleased; 1T is his de-
light to see many bishops arrive, aud
to get up a fine procession with long
string of mitred heads.

ter of the Interior has issued orders to
the medical officers of the various de-
partments to apply series of tests to
any case in which there may be possible
room for doubt. Such rarely arises
when decease results after "a sickness

CHANGES IN THE SURFACE OF THE
MooN.-M. FlammaTion has sent to the
French Academy of Sciences a paper
on the crater of Linn@us III the moon.
This crater appears lately to have un-
dergone great changes. Instead of the
appearance which the lunar craters
usually present, there is nothing left
but sort of whitish cloud attached to
the top. NJ. Flammarion is of opin-
ion that the crater has disappeared by
sinking, or that the neighboring plain
has risen TO it's level. Nj. Chacornae,
in paper on the same subject, appears
to entertain similar opinion.

PIANTATToN RTTTERg

This splendid Tonic is now used By all classes of
people for every symptom Of stomach ont of
order. And particularly do these Btters serve
the purpose of those who 'Iive out of docrs'' and
are exposed to Changes of Weather, Raw Spring
Winds aud Weakening Summer Heats.
The secret Off is this: Plantation Bitters are
certain to correct the juices of the Stomach set
all its machinery at work, and enable it TO resist
and throw off the approaching danger. The ten
dency of the operations of Nature Is always towards
cure; all she needs is little assistance at the
proper time. How much more reasonable and sem
sible 1t is to help her along with gentle yet pow
eIful Tonic, than to deluge aud weaken and defeat
her curative processes with poisonous drugs and
fiery mixtures. which only stupefy and plant the
saada of dieease and death
