THE MAzzrNr CONSPIRACY IN IrALY.-we
have had several rumors of late of fresh
Mazzini conspiracy in Italy. 1t is difficult
to believe that the rumors have any foun-
dation in fact. Italy has just found out that
surplus revenue is not only possibility, but
fact. The national party are, therefore, natu-
rally jubilant. II is just bare possibility that
the republicans have been doing their best to get
up counter demonstration. 1t Is not difficult
TO huddle few arms together and have them
suddenly and opportuncly exposed. In spite,
however, Of the discovery of arms In Milan
and the discovery of arms in Florence, 1t is
our conviction that Italy is now too strong and
too far advanced in the pathway Of progress
to be even seriously annoyed by any Garibal-
dian or Mazzinian movements. II Is even too
late for the son Of Bomba to combine with his
own worst enemies for the destruction of q
common foe

CUBAN REoOGNITIoN BY MExICo.-On the
9Th Of April the following resolution passed
the Mexican Congress by vote of 100 yeas to
12 nays:-
Resolved That the Executive Is hereby authorized
TO recognize the CubaDs, who are now fighting for
the independence OF their country, beliigerents
whenever he may Judge convenient to do so
This resolution was officially communicated
to President Juarez and by him acknowledged
on the 7th ofApril. Previous to that date the
government had issued orders that the flag
of Free Cuba should be admitted to the ports
of Mexico, but no further action had been
taken at the latest dates in regard to the recog-
milton of the belligerents.

FRANCE AND BELeIUM.-The negotiations
between France and Belgium for commercial
conference which had failed have been re-
sumed. So says cable despatch. This is
only another reason why we must believe that
oil European trouble must, If possible, be
avoided until the elections in France are over.
There cannot be too many things allowed to
hang in the balance, but there must be as little
alarm as possible. 1t is wise move to
keep this Belgium question alive; for, If the
elections are not what they ought to be, IL may
be as convenient handle for the Emperor's
purpose as any other.

TRAGIC PERFORMANCES ON THE TRAPEzR.-
The telegraph yesterday furnished us with the
statement that daring female gymnast, well
known in this community, had fallen from q
trapeze at a performance in the interior Of
Ohio and was taken up without life being
extinct. That is the most remarkable part Of
the affair. 1t is time the authorities took some
notice of these dangerous and self-immolating
performances. Not night passes in this city
but an audience of thousands is likely to be
shocked by some man or woman being dashed
to pieces by an accident like the above. n
crazy man should be seen going up towards
the top of Trinity church steeple for the pur-
pose of leaping therefrom the police would
take him in hand and lodge him in place for
safe keeping. A similar course might be pur-
sued with benefit to public morals and sensi-
bities by the police devoting little attention
to the breakneck feats that nightly occur at
places of amusement in this city at fifty cents

Nor Too PARTIoULAR.-We observed at
the time that Sprague was startling the coun-
try with his eloquence that his oratory was a
little mixed in its ideas; but we did not know
IL was so bad as 1t has proved. He now says
to Abbott:-"The paragraph Of my speech
referred to was written and in manuscript some
time before it was delivered in the Senate and
before you participated in the debate, and
therefore was not intended to apply to you"
Yet this obnoxious paragraph begins thus -
''In answer to the trade Of the Senator from
Nevada and the Senator from North Carolina
am reminded of little illustration" Then
comes the puppy. Evidently Abbott was very
eager to be satisfied.
The New York herald., 1869-04-28

One of the Rhode Island Capulets, vulgarly
known as the firm Of Brown & Ives, now
brands the bantam Senator from Rhode Island
Surely the contest grows hot The Abbott
duel, which was to comfort us a little by Sena-
torial bloodletting, has completely fizzled out
not even q smell of powder about 1t. The
pacificators shut off the wind on both sides,
and Washington has hoated into the Equatorial
doldrums. Rhode Island, unable 70 get up
fight with anybody among the outside barba-
rians is now determined to open civil strug-
gle within her own borders. We fancy, h0w-
ever, that she will be obliged to request for
bearance on the part of Massachusetts, and
Connecticut; for little Rhody is in much the
same condition as the petty German kingdom
whose ruler was obliged to ask permission Of
the frontier States when he wanted room to
fire at mark. The fight grows very hot.
The firm of Brown & Ives, which has always
kept out of politics, is now represented in the
Legislature, and is determined to defeat the
efforts of Sprague to upset Anthony in the
coming Senatorial contest. In the meantime
Sprague may be annihilated by the fierce
onslaught of the member of clan Capulet, who,
with some show Of pluck, makes an effort to
clear his name from the imputation Of having
retired somewhat hastily at Bull run. 1t is
difficult to imagine how Mr.. Sprague can evade
this open attack, unless, forsooth, he retorts
in a similar manner. Certainly neither of the
hot-headed men can be comfortable with all
that ill-feeling in them, and as they entertain
us with fine examples of fOrcible and elegant
English, we advise them to continue until they
both feel relieved. Mr.. Sprague has branded
the Slate captain of the carbineers" as q
coward. This, it appears, did not call out
challenge. The bold captain retorts. Who
will furnish the parties with Billingsgate
dictionary, wherein words sufficiently odious
may be found to get up fight? Blood,
blood nothing but little blood will suit us,
We are beginning to be bored with this tenn:
pest in teapot, and if we do not see any
prospects of row within few days shall
have to get some menagerle keeper to stir up
these Rhode Island animals with a pole.
Should this terrible storm result in duel We
expect that it will be cotton mills at twelve

IMPosTURE.-It seems to be held that TO
make clear case Of deception against the
spiritual photographers the prosecution must
prove that the pictures in court we're not made
by spiritual agency. This is not so. In court
natural agencies are assumed as the cause of
material effects, and the contrary must be
proven. The prosecution has shown that pic
lures precisely similar can be made by ordinary
means. and the defence must prove that its pic
lures are otherwise made or the charge of
imposture is not rebutted.

BETWEEN Two FIREs.-If Abbott had shot
Sprague on sight his native New England
would have been ''down on" him forever, or
if he had accepted the dogskin'' that Sprague
threw around loose in the Senate, without
demanding and obtaining satisfaction, his
adopted State-North Carolina-would have
tabooed him as an unfit representative of her
chivalry. Between these two fires the humble
spirit of the Puritan was likely to succumb to
the fire of the Chevalier
