The Duke of Genoa.

The Duke of Genoa, WHOM the Spanish
monarchists desire to make King of Spain,
is not son of Victor Emanuel, of Italy,
but his nephew. lie is named Thomas
Albert Victor, and is but Is years Of age,
so that his election as King would be real.
~ the choice of a King in future, the
Government being administered by q
regency in his name. 1t includes pro-
longation Of the struggle which has ex>
listed among the Spahiards since the &c.
complishment Of the revolution, for the
control Of the Government, only taking
the modification that it will be struggle
for the custody and control of minor
sovereign. The sister Of the young Duke
Of Genoa is wife to Prince Uumbert, son
Of Victor Emanuel. his cousin, heir to the
throne of Italy. Those who are curious
in genealogies may find something to COM
mead in the fact that if the young Duke
should become King Of Spain. there will
be a revival Of good fortune to two old
fainil ;es that have been going out Of favor
with the world. The Princes Of the house
of Savoy are direct descendants from the
house of Scottish Stuarts, whom the Eng.
lish expelled, blended with the blood Of
the Bourbons. They trace their origin to
that Duke of Orleans, who married the
daughter Of Charles l., of England, and,
if the order Of succession had not been
set aside by revolution, would be nearer
the English throne by right Of birth than
the German Guelphs who now hold it.
Really, for the present, it is worth noting
as landmark in the progress of new
ideas in Europe, that cadet Of the two
families in Europe who most stubbornly
maintained 1.-THE right divine Of kingly
succession, should now be soliciting an
election to throne made vacant by revo.
lution.-Ne,c Orleans Rcayunc.

WHAr is Disr?-Oid DIR. Cooper, Of
South Carolina, used to say to his students
-.'Don't be afraid of little dirt, young
gentlemen. What is dirt? Why, nothing
at all offensive, when chemically viewed.
Rub little alkali upon the dirty grease
spot on you coat, and it undergoes a
chemical change and becomes soap; now
rub it with little water, and it disap~
pears ; it is neither grease, soap, water,
nor dirt. That is net very odorous pile
Of dirt you observe there well, scatter
little gypsum over it, and it is no lsnger
dirty. Every thing you call dirt is worthy
your notice as students Of chemistry.
Analyse it Anulyse it! 1t will all
separate into very clean elements. Dirt
makes corn, corn makes bread and meat,
and that makes very sweet young lady
that | saw one of you kissing last night.
So, after all, you were kissing dirt-par-
ticuiarly if she whitened her skin with
chalk or Fuller's earth. There ia no
telling, young gentlemen, what is earth.
Though / may say that rubbing such stuff
upon the beautiful skin Of young lady
is dirty practice. Pearl powder, l think,
is made Of bismuth-nothing but dirt"

Stimulants.
George D. Prentice, who, according to
all accounts, ought to be pretty familiar
with what men usually term stimulants,
writes thus truly and beautifully:
''There is a time when the pulse lies
low in the bosom and beats low in the
veins, when the spirit which, apparently
knows no waking, sleeps in its house of
clay, and the windows are shut, the doors
hung in the invisible Grape Of melancholy;
when we wish the golden sunshine pitchy
darkness, and wish to fancy clouds where
no clouds be. This is state of sickness
where physic may be thrown to the dogs,
for we wish none of it. What shall raise
the spirit? What shall make the heart
beat music again, and the pulse through
all the myriad thronged halls in the house
of life? What shall make the sun kiss
the eastern hills for us with all his old
awakening goodness, and the night over
flow with moonlight, love and flowers :?
Love itself is the greatest stimulant, the
most intoxicating Of all, and performs all
these miracles, and is miracle itself, and
is not at the drug store, whatever they
say. The counterfeit is in the market,
but the winged god is not a money chan.
ger, we assure you.
"Men have tried many things, but still
they ask for stimulant.
"Men try to bury the floating dead of
their own souls in the wine cup, but the
corpse rises. We see their faces in the
bubbles. The intoxication Of drink sets
the world whirling again, and the pulses
to playing music, and the thoughts gall
loping, but the clock only runs down
sooner, and an unnatural stimulant only
leaves the house it filled with the widest
revelry, more silent, more sad, more de-
serted.
"There is only one stimulant that never
intoxicates-duty. Duty puts clear sky
over every man, into which the skylark-
IIuppiness--always goes singing"
A foreigner speaking of the House OF
Commons, says: $50 difficult is it for any
thing to be heard inside its gorgeous walls,
that the impatiens members are Obliged to
be continually calling out, shear, hear,
hear"

Fire.

IlKCs
Now is the time Of year, of all others,
that everybody should institute careful
examination Of all stove'pipes, chin.
neys and Aues, to see that they arc in
good order for winter. Particularly where
the pipe runs into the garret, it should be
carefully fastened in its place. so that no
jarring will cause it to separate and leave
an opening. And every chimney SHOULD
be carefully examined to see that there
are no cracks where it passes through the
ceiling and roof, which frequently occurs
from settling, and the rain washing out
the mortar. SO as to leave the wood expos
ed to sparks driven through these cracks
by the wind. There have been more fires
originated in this way i'm West Union than
in all others combined. Particularly
should these cautions be observed in towns,
where blocks of buildings are exposed
and are liable to be destroyed by the care
lessncss Of one man. In such cases
negligence is crime, as no man has q
right, by his own negligence, to destroy
his own property, much less that Of his
neighbor. With the miserable facilities
we have for extinguishing fire, caution
which is the best safeguard, anyway, il
oil would practice it-must be the only
ground upon which we can base our hopes
of escaping the fearful ravages of the
devouring element.
Would it not be we'll to have commit
tee appointed to visit every house in town,
and see that these and other precautions
are observed and act upon the wise
theory that an ounce Of preventive is
worth pound Of cure p Wost Union

Who Is He2

VhV ID AC
Who is Father Hyacinthe? What is it
all about? are questions we hear every
day, and which we will endeavor to an.
swer. Father nyacinthe is one of the
barefooted Carmelite friars. He passed
ten years in convent at Lyons, ard first
preached in that city. In 1864 he made
his first appearance at Paris, in the church
of Notre Dame. His eloquence soon made
him famous, and crowds focked to hear
him. The Catholic church is divided into
two parts, similar to High Church and
Low Church, one ultramontane or the
stand'still party, the other for progress and
reform. Father Hyacinthe advocated the
latter, leaned towards freedom of con'
science and actually considered Protest
ants to be christians.
The superior of bis convent objected to
this, and frequently took him to task.
This opposition was increased when the
Father attended the Peace Congress in
Paris, and delivered remarkably liberal
speech for Carmelite Friar.
Tired out by these repeated persecu.
tions, he at length threw up his position,
cast aside his gown and quilted the con-
vent. His superior wrote to him to return
in ten days or to consider himself excom-
municated, for the Monk who quits his
monastry and the dress of his order with
out permission from competent authority,
is considered real npostate, and subject
to the horrible penalties of the greater ex
communication.
This did not frighten Father Hyacinthe
he spoke more boldly against the premed-
itated action of the Ecumenical Council
and, thinking doubtless, that Europe
would soon be too hot to hold him, emf
grated to America. During the month o
May he received an order to wait upon the
Pope, and explain his position. This hi
did, and although the Pope seemed salts
fed with his explanation, the attacks con
tinued. The object of the fathers solici
;ude now is what action may be taken BY
the Council at Rome, and by that resul
his future will be guided. Should j
prove progressive he will remain in tn,
Church, but should ultramontism prevail
in all probability he will cease to preacl
or teach within the pale of the Cutholi
t church. His views are those of the NOR
5 liberal of that church, and in all probabi
ity his secession has arisen from his hay

What Agitates Ireland.

The Irish Land Reform question is the
great issue which will next shake England.
The lands Of Ireland are held by the
present ''iords of the SOIL" under the
titles derived through the wholesale con
fiscations of the English Kings two
hundred years ago. James gave away
three millions Of acres Cromwell dispos
ed of eight millions more, and William oi
Orange conGscated million acres. The
descendants of the original propiietors now
occupy the soil as tenants. They claim
the right of joint ownership, and deny
! the landlord the right of eviction. A few
months since, Captain Lambert elected
the father of Peter Barrett, and the latter
attempted the assassination Of the Captain.
Barrett was tried, but one of the jury
| favored his conviction, and as he left the
Court room he was assailed by a mob and
peited with stones, so that military pro-
lection had to be afforded. The obstinacy
Of this one juryman resulted in new

jury. preferring any penalty. So tse case
hangs in the Court. In Marlborough, a
man named Mccormick died, leaving an
only daughter as the tenant Of a noble
marchioness. The daughter married, sup
posing that she and her husband would
be permitted to remain upon the farm
which had been occupied by the family
for century. But few days after her
marriage, however, as related by Father
o keeie, in speech quoted by cores,
pondent of the IEorld, she was flung
ruthlessly out Of the house by a troop OF
constabluary, and few months after died
from exposure. Ten thousand mourners
took her back and buried her on the farm.

WE ARl, told that the efforts Of the cotton
consuming nations of Europe 10 increase
the production Of that plant in India, Egypt
and Turkey, have failed entirely, and that
the United States will find satisfactory
demand for all the cotton that can be rails
ed in the South. It is calculated that if
the English cotton manufactures had dur
ing the seven y ears after 1851 increased in
the same ratio as during the Eve preceding
years, the hands would also have increased
to 10000 over the number employ ed in
1861, whereas the factory population is
now $4,000 less than it was in 1851 From
this fact it is argued that India and Egypt
did not fill the deficit caused in England by
the etoppage of the importation of Ameri-
can cotton.
