(.GIr>s~-,N IN ITALY.-Bayard Taylor, writ
ing from Venice to the Tribune in December
last, thus pictures the methods of political
agitators in the city of the Doges:
Tonight, there was a spontaneous move
ment among the people. The news Of an up
rising in Rome arrived about dark, spread
rapidly through the city, and a Grove
collected in the Piazza. A number OF nags
made their appearance, music was orougng
from somewhere and the Hymn OF Garioaidl
was the signal for cheers, or rather cries OF
" Viua Roma Cdpitdlel" Somebody came out
on the balcony and made patriotic speech,
believe the principal civil officials were visit
ed by the crowd, but otherwise the demonstra-
ton was confined to marching up and down
the Piazza and shouting. In America there
would have been a mass meeting, with 48 vice
presidents and "a secretaries, and string of a
a dozen long winded resolutions. A brief ex-
preston of opinion, favorable to the occupa-
ton of Rome by the Italian forces, has been
prepared, and is now held for signatures. In
the course OF week. probably it will be trans
mitted to Florence.
In all the cities of Northern Italy, similar
movements have taken place. Knowing the
intense feeling of the Italian people on this
question, their mode OF expressing themselves
seems rather timd and incomplete. But we
must remember that a long political educa-
ton is requisite before the people know hoso
to make themselves properly heard. Measur-
ed by our standard, the Italians are still awk-
ward and impractical, but they have had to
unlearn the indiff renee of centuries. When
| 1 contrast them with what they were eleven
years ago, see how much real progress has
been made. a ,T<.

A Touch STORY FROM WISCONSIN, The
Wisconsin State Register tells of a man. liv-
ing in Keena in that State, who was buried
seyenty-fve feet under ground by the caving
in of the sides of a. well, at the bottom of
which he was working. He was covered with
over 60 feet of earth and rubbish, but at the
end of four days his neighbors dug him out
and restored him, alive and well to his family.
Upon coming to the surface it was found that
the terrors of his subterranean prison lad
Whitened his hair. ~ ~. - 80 o. ?.

THREE young men were arraigned before the
Municipal Court yesterday for assuming the
duties of State Constables and selling lot Of
liquors in the still hours of the night. They
kept up good spirits as long as the beer lasted,
but things took different turn when the Off
Ger made New Years call on them.

S. J. CoURT.-The session of the criminal
term of the Supreme Judicial Court will close
to-day. 1t has been one ofthe longest we have
had for some years, hut there has been no
idling. Judge Barrows and County Attorney
Webb have kept the two juries busy all the
time, and twenty-seven verdicts have been rem
dered, twenty of which were convictions and
seven acquitals. Several cases, after the testi-
mony was out were disposed of without going
to the jury, and in three cases the jurors were
unable to agree. In our experience of court
reporting we have never witnessed more in
dustry than has been displayed at the present
term

THE Annual Festival of the First Parish
Church and Society at the City Hall, last eve
ming, was more numerously attended than any
that had preceded it. The Sabbath School
children had the floor, mainly, during the ear
ly part of the evening, but yielded gracefully
and fell back in good order as the older per.
sons came in. The supper was all that could
be desired by the most fastidious, and the
pleasant greetings and introductory, followed
by the nimble moving of feet around the hall
was pleasant closing up of the entertain
ment. Such gatherings cannot fail to create
and perpetuate kind and social feelings among
members of the same society.

THE TURF.-If any one thinks that there are
no fast horses owed in Portland, let him visit
Portland street some afternoon and see some
of them that are driven down from the Aims
House to Green street. There is about mile
stretch here which is in tolerable good condi-
ton for trotting, and we have seen horses go
over it, which, if they didn't show 235 gait,
set us down as not being good judges. While
there are number that show great speed, there
are many others driven there that could travel
in wash tub all day. But what matters it as
long as they step quick and their owners think
they are riding fast. Imagination will do a
great deal.

The vote in the Second Senatorial district
has been officially declared as follows: ,...-

HILTON Rowan HELPER, the great "Im-
pending Crisis" and "Nojoque" IN an, has found
foeman in, his own household. Hardie Ho-
gan Helper, brother to the above, writes to the
Washington Chronicle from Salisbury, N. c.,
under date of January 1st., answering many
of the crazy and blasphemous ideas and ex-
pressions that are thickly strown through the
later writings of his illustrious relative. The
second Helper wields a trenchant pen, and
utterly refuses to recognize the claim his
brother sets up as the special fundamentally
through which Heaven makes known its will
concerning the condition to which it has as
signed the different races of men. .lrsis.aEs

FEW WHITE 0UrRAGEs.-Our dispatches
yesterday gave an account of two bloody
ARRAYS in Tennessee, in one of which both.
races were engaged but, as usual, only the
blacks suffered a loss of life. In the second
case the whites INDUCED in an indiscriminate
slaughter of each other. The same morning
we hear of the pleasantries of some Texan
rebels who broke up a Union meeting, at Mar
shall, and fred at one of the, speakers, The
scamps were promptly arrested by the mill
tary, bnt Gen. Hancock, in pursuance of his
New Years order, directed them to be given
into the custody of the civil authorities by
whom they were Immediately released on bail.
These cases, taken in connection with the
shooting of the historical Pollard by the
brothers Wise, the assassination of Judge
Busted in Mobile and of Chief Justice
Slough in New Mexico, constitutes "a very
pretty picture of Southern society, and render
it passing strange that the negroes cannot be-
have better when they have so many shining
examples set before them by their, white
brothers. We must not forget to mention,
too, that the revels of the 9Th of January
celebration were disturbed by a conflict of
arms between the publisher of the Washing
ton Star and Gen. McCook. 1t is said that
canes were used energetically and blood flow-
ed freely, but they were separated without SCI

THE Carbon Burner Co. had on trial Thurs
day steam engine, the trial lasting five hours
In using this kind of fuel there is nothing to
do but regulate the fire with valve, to have
as much ,r little fire as you please. One great
value in this burner, there is no danger from
sparks from the smoke pipe or from the fur
mace. This burner runs without making any
sparks from the smoke pipe or fire to haul out
of the furnace. This machine can be run in
pile of shayings without setting them cd fire.
We understand that the trial was perfect
success. - - -.

CONGRESS has taken one good step, at lea.

CONGRESS has taken one good step, at least,
toward stopping the whiskey frauds. The
trouble has been in allowing manufacturers to
remove their whiskey from one warehouse to
another in bond, without payment of the tax.
On Thursday, the House passed the following
bill as amended by the Senate, and it now
wants only the Presidents signature to be-
come a law:
That from and after this date no distilled
spirits shall be withdrawn or removed from
any warehouse, for the purpose Of transporta-
package, exportati1n, or for any other purpose
whatever, until the full tax on such spirits
shall have been paid and all acts and parts OF
acts inconsistent with the provisions hereof
are hereby repealed. ri, I'D, 81. y ,,rt ,-..- e ..

AN APPROPRIATE Presently Yesterday
Judge Barrows presented John White, who
has been sentenced to the State Prison for life,
for burglary, with an excellent copy of the Holy
Bible, with some appropriate passages marked
for the consideration of the prisoner while in
confinement. 1t is to be hoped that this ap-
propriate gift from the judge who sentenced
him, will exert good influence on the heart of
the prisoner, and lead him to heed the advice
given him when he was sentenced. =-.s
