An old painting, which an American
tourist at Pisa purchased, a few days
ago, for . few scudi, turns out to be one
of Pietro Peruginos masterpieces, which
was supposed to have been destroyed at
a confagratiOn in the sixteenth century.
1t is worth, at least, thousand times as
much as the American tourist paid for it.
The income of the Crown Prince of
Prussia is fraction overa million dollars.
His wife is very economical, and they
lay by every year a couple of hundred
thousand dollars. The King of Prussia
spends his whole civil-list, but accumu-
lates the revenues proceeding from his
private property He is now believed to
! be the wealthiest monarch in Europe.
The insidious appeals of young
priest, who was, some time ago, sternly
rebuked for misconduct by the bishop
of his diocese, are believed to have given
rise to the terrible riots in the French De-
partment dc la Chaunte. The riotous
peasants having shouted TiUe PEmpe-
rer," and clown with the Clergy"
amidst their deeds of violence and vandal-
ism, the government is greatly perplexed
as to the course it should pursue under
the circumstances.
An attempt was recently made to as
sassinate General Cialdini at Padua
Although the General is already fifty
FIVE years old, he is still a gay Lothario,
and had Gaisoa with the wife of
young physician Of Padua The physi-
clan heard of the love affair between his
faithless spouse and the distinguished
General, aud attacked the latter on the
street with dagger. The General was
slightly wounded, but succeeded in wrest- |

The Duke of Augustenburg has grown |
prematurely gray and old in Consequence /
of the heavy political disappointments
with which he has met during the last
two years. His brother Christian, the
husband of Queen Victoria's third
daughter, who used to look much older
than the Augustenburg pretender, now
looks at least fifteen or twenty years
younger, His peouniary affairs, owing
to the heavy expenditures which he
made in 1863 and 1864, are in such
condition that the Prince is
perfectly at the mercy of his creditors.
The Tintamarre publishes a caricature
which will involve it in libel suit
Two cocottes are criticizing the toilets of
the ladies passing by. Look, Ninette,
there goes the Duthess de NJ. How
she apes my costume. Poor thing, she
has no chic" But, Louison, look at
that frightful Princess of NJ, yonder
She to copy my costume with that re-
rouSsc nose of hers T. The two ladies,
1t whom the cOcottes turn up their noses,
bear a strong resemblance to the Duthess
lie Mouchy, and the Princess of Meter
lich. The latter says she will prosecute
my paper making allusion to her. Her
forbearance and failure to re-
train her eccentricities, are even won !
Tered at by the Petits creres of Paris.
1t is believed, in Paris, that Nelaton :
nd the special physicians of the Empe- .
or advised him some time ago, that his
iealth was such as to justify the appre- =
tension Of his sudden death at the end :,
f one of the fainting fits to which Ma !,
Oleon is subject, and that it would, h
therefore,, but be prudent for His Impe- .
ial Majesty to regulate every thing in T
egard to his successor. 1t is further ;,
lore believed that the Emperor has !;
rawn up last will, annulling the de- =
rec by which the Council of Regency !,
-as appointed, and comforting the Re- 4
ency upon Prince Napoleon alone. The A
intimacy prevailing, for some 6,
me past, between the Prince and his Il
nperial cousin, it is thought, results h
'om this measure on the part of the Il
Emperor. Ia
A veteran of the old Napoleonic wars al
/ Breslau, received, until lately, only Il
he liberal pension of one dollar month. al
IS this was insufficient to keep the body c,
nd soul of the old soldier together, and fl
c was tired of begging aims, he drew h
etition to the King of Prussia, and re- h
lived to 60 to Berlin, and present the W
etition to the sovereign in person. He Q,

ut the King happened to beabsent from Sc
lie capital. At length after a weeks Ii
lratiOn, the old man heard that His al

on under the window of the Kings of

the window, he noticed the veteran, IN
mt an adjutant to him, and afterward con- w
'rsed long time with him. When he W
