but one Imperial Prince OF France to nger ana

been sent MIN by the middle classes OF Rome. Why
the middle classes should have been thus generously
charged with the Offering when the arstOcracy paid
for 1t is Roman question.
The Roman aristocracy also paid for something
ese-a diadem worth q, ,O00f offered by nine ladies'
to the future Queen of Italy, among whom is one
American beauty, COmtesse Franfaneli. The wives
OF the above named middle classes not aristOcrats
presented 15 0OOf worth of earrings and as after the
enumeration of these special castes the lower classes
OF Italy may not be forgotten, must add that they
are made up OF the police, who did all they could to
steal the Jewels; OF course the police called this
tlon cOnnscation," not robbery but whatever 1t s,

Italian lower classes since. The diamonds and the
sword got through by dint of much smuggling. and
the Romans are jubilant out of spite.

known to be never behind, though her train was ON

Referring TO this festival the Jetrtsh Messenger

-Deception of the Colored People.

We have been shown a copy of an address to
'the colored people of the United State which
purports to be issued by committee, appointed
at a Mass meeting Of the colorcd citizens OF
Massachusetts,, held in the city Of New Bedford
in August last, and which is being very indus
triously circulated among the colored people of
this country. The object Of the address is to
induce the colored people to vote for Grant and
.Colfax, and to accomplish this an appeal is made
to their cupidity, by holding out hopes to them
that in the event Of their success the govern
ment will distribute a large amount of money
among the colored people, the result of
their labor during the last three years of their
slavery which the government took charge of,
.sold and put into the treasury Of the govern
ment" This is all done for the purpose of de-
ceiving the colored people. There is no such
fund on hand as the address refers to, and its
authors knew there was not when they wrote
the address The colored people will no more
obtain any money from that source than they
obtained the promised forty acres and mule
The colorod people are also urged to report the
names to the Committee of the coiored people
who refuse to heed their advice. This is done
for the purpose of frightening them into mea-
.sures. The colored people may rely upon this
No such report will ever be made or if made

Love and Small Pox.

The San Francisco correspondent OF the San
Jose Mercury writes the following:
When tell you that three or four thousand
people were vaccnated in this city last week,
YOU will readily understand that yellow flag
waving in the breeze will create degree OF con-
sternation and excitement that will at least rid
that immediate neighborhood of all the noise
and disturbance of hawkers, passing toot-tramps
and frequent visitors. Well certain popular,
but very eccentric young lady, who has string
of beaux conceived the romantic idea Of testing
the sincerity her devoted admirers, who pro
fessed to exist only on her smiles, and often
avowed willingness to die for her. She avail
ed herself of the temporary absence of her par
ents in the country, took a servant into con-
fdence, procured yellow flag, nailed it to the
gate and awaited the ''breaking OUT of the
news Itbroke and the tidings spread like
wildfre the neighbors urged each other to re-
port the case to the health officer and insist that
she be taken to the pest-house. Two or three
''devoteds" sought the vicinity to make assur-
ance doubly sure, and on spying the signal re-
treated hastily denying themselves even the
light diet of smile. The family physician was
questioned, but hadn't been summoned, and at
last an officer boldly yentured to investigate the
case and learning the trick, promptly removed
| the flag, not until the fact fully established
that she was abandoned to her fate, whatever it
might be, by the swarnls of summer friends who
lived in her smiles, and i'll the prospects of her
| fathers account.

Washington Items.

Semi-offcial gossip regarding Mr.. Davis trial
has it that Mr.. Evarts will take no active part
he having originally suggested Dunn as pro-
per person to lead the prosecution. Gov.
Wellcs, of Virginia, continues to take an active
interest in the prosecutions lawyer. The
impression prevails, in official quarters, that
there will be no trial.
We have received from official sources, a
statement showing the total cost of the govern
ment buildings and grounds and improvements
in Washington city, including the lighting and
cleaning of the same, and all expenses connected
Herewith, and find that up to June 30, 1868,
Congress had appropriated in all for such pur-
poses S41 SCI ,55029.
The Alabama delegation met the President,
by appointment, on the 18th ult. The Secre-

of War prepared letter for Gen. Meade.
I Gov Smith has no doubt that the Legislature
will adopt measures authorizing the people to
elect Presidential Electors, and he has no appre-
| hension of disorders, now that the Federal Gov
eminent is committed to their prompt suppress
