Italy is decidedly country OF progress. She
has made, in remarkably short neriod of timo.
wonderful strides toward p htlca unity and free
lou. Tho difficulty nowsrems to be torlieck her.
Both Legislature and people arSsery % mneh @ divided
III to the real meaning OF liberal IDEAS. When
ieas arc too liberal they become illibcra
With nll tllcir notions there seems to b. one
slaro n1 progress which tho Italians have not vet
r.-c..sd. Stuart Mill advocates stronnonslv in
England the emancipation or men, and the
boldly proposed to grant them 20 tical privileges
in America Italy is not yet alive to tho impor-
tance of the subject. In her bill Of rights there is
no clause for the benefit OF the unprotected female
A little incident which has recently. occurred
may. however. produce very marked change up
OH the Italian mind. 1t lis very clear proposition
that if a woman is to protect her own rights she
should also defend her own wrongs; and It looks
very much as if tho Premier OF Italy could only
get ont of very unpleasant scrape by asserting
this doctrine.
Signor Ratazzi has, it appears, a wLfc who is
thoroughly cmarcipated. 4 few months ago her
book entitled THE Marriage OF Creole" made
great scandal in Paris and the talr-or unfair
written another book in which ahc is even more
unmercifu to the Florentines than she was to the
Parisians All Tuscany-that is the Tuscan world :
is up in arms. A correspondent OF tic Paris
Temps writes: -
hearl now PRODUCES something moro THAI mere
scandal here Tho men designated in the work
brothers. lovers. or future husbands OF tho ladies
decred-have made SORT of league, and arc going
to call " atazzi TO account. one after the other
Tho storm has become more violent since that
statesman became President of the Council.
Among the demands tor rcpaIation is that OF tho
Marquis pcpoli, IL relative of La Sgnora ltatazzI;
The Marguis to whom several pages are der tied
in tla description of Bichevilc, sent hs seconds,
Count Arose and General Cindn to NJ. Ratazzi.
The friends of the President OF tho Council met
Immediately, and began by making La Signorl
lsatazzi write sort of retrartio,i. She Inns de-
CARED in tlc G zctta iii Firenzc, that she did NOT
mean to describe or offend any ,,ile.. After that
step. the friends Of VI. RLtaZzi decided thai tho
chief of the Government could not fight duel ,lii-
,cr sucll circumstances, unless n jury Of honor
should establish his responsibility. NH. Arose
and Callin accepted the proposal and the Jury IN
question is still celebrating. II ls airnled that
the challenges sent to H. Rutazzl wcr" fifteen III
number
Under such trying circumstances the Prime
Minister of Italy has hut one recourse loft. He
must elnancipatr Madame Ratazzi rs the only
n, ,ans of emancipating himself. An act for the
advancement of female kind generally would come
very gracefully flom that wicked little. city

Road in tho Fork of Edlsto twelve miles from this

of incendiaries.
