The Evacuation Of Rome.

The Roman correspondent OF the Alige-
meme Zeitung says that the French ambas-
sadar. NJ. de Bonneville, has handed to
Cardinal Antoneli note FROM his govern
mept relative to the occupation OF Clylta
Vecohia by the French troops.
In this note the French government
states that it has been urgently requested
by Italy aud other powers to pu. an end to
the French occupation of Rome, and that
before giving a definite answertc those de-
mands the Duke de GrNmmont thinks 1t
necessary FIST to consrt the Holy See, as
the most interested parry, on the subject.
He therefore invites Cardinal Antonell
openly TO state whether there IS any ground
for fearing attacks on the integrity OF the
Papal territories in tbs event OF the with
drawai OF the French troops, IN order
that Fraace may be enabled to take an
accurate Tiew OF the situation, ana regu-
late her policy in pending questions &C.
cordingly. To this Cardinal Antonelll
replied that complete peace now reighS IN
ali parts OF the Papal States, and that the
papal Government has force at Its dispo-
sal which is more than sufficient both to
prevent any disturbance Of the pubhc
peace in the interior. and to repel all at
tennis at Garibaldan or Ma2znian inva-
siors from without, The Cardinal con-
cludes by observing that although, if the
Papal territory vere attacked either by reg
ular troops or by volunteers, directly or IN
directly supported by the Italian govern
ment they could he easily disposed OF Dy
the Papal militia, such q campaign could
not fail to disturb the public peace, and
thereby endanger the object Of the French
occupation. The Cardinal hopes that no
such event will occur, even if France were
to withdraw her troops, and that no serl-
ons danger to the peace Of the Papal States
and the security OF the Holy Father IS to
be apprehended

A Prussian Military Review-A Grand
Spectacle.

The present warlike aspect of affairs be-
tween France and Prussia will render the
following description OF a military review
by the King of Prussia, recently held at
Berlin, of especial interest to our readers.
1t shows the kind of troops the French
have to deal with. This review was in honor
of the Emperor of Russia, while on visit
to the King at Berlin:
The troops present numbered about
twenty thousand, and the exercises took
place upon the plains of kreutzberg, a
short distance from Berlin. The day vas
beautiful. and had it been prepared for the
occasion could not have been in any way
better adapted. A slight rain Tell early III
the morning, which laid the dust, andwhen
the troops arrived upon the ground II was
in splendid condition, and The sun shone
ont most beautifully. The men, the erms,
the horses, and all the equipments we're in
splendid condition, and it seemed rs though
every one and everv thing were showing to
the great Russian tina. all was ready, and
in order at any and all times to defend and
fight for Prussia.
The firing of artillery was wonderfully
rapid, and all the movements of this most
essential branch of his service were finally
executed. The cavalry was composed OF
as fine looking a lot of men as | have ever
seen, and the equipments and horses were
most magnificent. As the sun shone upon
the bright helmets and breastplates of the
Bismarck Legion i'll the distance, it seemed
like mass Of silver moving around. Fol-
lowing were regiments of lancers, hussars
and mass of infantry. The marching,
and in fact all the movements were per-
Termed with the utmost precision. After
some time spent IN various exercises, the
troops were divided and q sham fight was
had, and soon the whole field was envelop.

The platoon firing was as though one

and quickly made that you would think
they were made by magic.
The action closed by grand charge OF
the cavalry, 1t was q wonderful sight to
see about nine Thousand horses rush across

fired from headquarters; the action in

A Mormon Church In Boston.
From the Boston Advertiser

That Mormon society has been organ
lied IN Boston and that religious services
are held each Sunday, is something known
to very few, and perhaps of no great pub
lie interest Still, as tn, disciples OF Jo-
seph Smith are slowly multiplying in the
East, ii may be worth while to note the be-
ginning of the movement here. A single
notice among the announcements of reli-
gious services called attention to the fact
that the Reorganized Church Of the Latter
Day Saints would hold meetings afternoons
and evenings at 5il Washington street, n
small hall which is used as dance hall du-
ring the secular portion of the week.
Public services have been held
there for about two months, but
nucleus was formed and preaching
begun in private houses two yearsaeo. The
church has now sixteen members, and in
ereases very slowly. 1t is one of three
churches OF the same faith in Massaohu-
sets. 4 short time ago conference was
held at Fall River of all the churches in
Connecticut, Rhode Island, and this State,
and another conference is to be held here
during the autumn, There are four socie.
ties in Maine. These societies are distinct
from the Mormon church Ms directed by
Brigham Young and the much-marrying
Mormons are by them regarded rs apostates
from the true faith as revealed by the Lord
Jesus CHRIST. This was the burden of the
preachers discourse last Sunday afternoon.
He characterized the doctrine that a man
may marry as many wives as he chooses, AS
equally sinful with that which would do
away with marriage altogether. There were
about dozen worshippers III the room,
and as many as twenty other persons were
present some of the time. Most of the lat
ter were young men who loafed in out of
curiosity, and did not remain long to see
or hear. Several women also came in and
sat down for few minutes and unsympN-
thetically retired when they pfeceived the
character of the service. The service was
conducted after the ordinary fashion. The
believers knelt during the onening prayer,
and during the afternoon sung several
hymns out of little hymn-book without u
title page. The preacher was evidently Il
proletariau, and spoke very oud His Ian
guage was well chosen but the sermon con-
tanned no other application than that
againsta plurality of wives and false proph-
cts in general.

A Man Without an Identity.
From the 0swego Advertiser.

A remarkable individual came to notice
in the city Yesterday in a man WAC was in
curing about the streets for employment,
and represented that he had eaten nothing
for several days except garbage that he had
picked up. His conversation seemed to
indicate that he was foreigner, but on be-
ing questioned by a gentleman who casu-
ally took an interest II his case, he Glanced
to be native of this country, and related
the following singular circumstance OF his
history:
He was apparently shout forty years OF
age, and, until year since, mad belonged
to q tribe of Indians in the Rocky Noun
tain region. and believed that he was an
Indian by nature; but having, at vario0s
times, been told that he belonged to the
race of pale-faces, the desire grew upon
him to abandon his tribe and visit the do
mains Of his reputed kindred. He sue
ceeded in escaping at the time indicated,
and tell in with workmen engaged on the
Pacific railroad
Since that time he had been travelling
eastward, working when able TO obtain EN-
ployment for short spells, and acquaintlng
himself with the strange world that opened
before his advance into the limits OF evil
cation, of which he had not the taintest
conception before. His Tribe had been al
most continually at war with the whites,
and he himself had participated in many
conflicts. He exhibited numerous scars
upon his body, and large circular cut on
the back part of his head was conclusive
proof of his statement OF having been
scalped on one occasion by hostile Indians.
The strange man remarked that he had
no name and could not tell who he was. -
His features and eneral appearance lett no
room to question his claim OF belonging TO
the white race, and the presumption IS
that he was stolen from his parents when
child, at some Of the frontier settlements
many years ago
What a romance there must be wrapped
up in the impenetrable mystery OF his lie,
and how sad to think that noble intellect
may lie smouldering in the untutored
brain, subverted from the higher asplra.
tons of man to the groveling instincts OF
savage life Such was the substance OF his
story, told in childish simplicity OF detail
Mr. J. G. Cooley, with character TIC gen
erosity, provided for the immediate wants
Of the poor fellow. He is still wandering
among the pale faces in quest Of work.

What Drunkenness Costs,

The expense that the abuse of alcoholic
beverages entGils upon the public through
the medium Of almshouses, prisons, etc,
was perhaps never more clearly illustrated
than in the report of Samuel Chapman to
Arstarchus Champion Of Rochester, N. Y,
of the result of his labors in accommodating
statistics bearing on this matter in the
State OF New York. Mr., Champion sus-
tanned the expenses Of the undertaking, and
Mr.. Chapman travelled 4 500 miles in carry
ing out the investigations thoroughly. II
was in the early days of temperance move
ment and the report may be out OF print;
but the facts 1t narrates are siBnlticant
enough for reproduction. He shows be-
yond the power OF contradiction that more
than three-fourths of the ordinary sta tax
was absorbed by the support OF tho poor
and the administration Of criminal justice;
that more than three-tourths OF tho pauper-
ism was occasioned by intemperance, and
more than hye-sixths OF those committed
on criminal charges are Incorporate.
Some observations recently made indicate
that similar proportions are rather under
than over the fact Mt the present time.
None, however surpass an investigation
once made in Hunterdon county, N. D.,
where 40 out of SO inmates Of n poor-house
were brought thlther directly or indirectly
because OF intemperHncc,

In regard to the use Of gunboatS upon
the Rhine and other German rivers, the
Missouri Republican says:
Nothing of the kind has ever been at.
tempted before, and the French Emperor
is certainly entitled to credit for trying
the experiment, and pitting the inventive
genius of the young republic against the
musty presidents OF the continent. II the
exp eriment proves successful 1t cannot fail
to have a decided effect upon this ana sub
seouent campaigns, and we see no good
reason why it should do other than sue
coed. The navigable portion of the Rhine
has an average depth of not much less than
six feet, watch is simply sufficient for the
lighter cllss of gunboats We, indeed,
employed ours 10 great advantage on
the Tennessee River where there were
not over ,aree feet of water. They need
carry nothing but their armament, ammu-
milton and crew, returning Whenever ne
cessary 70 the shore for fresh supplies OF
fuel and stores; and, if properly handled,
can command the stream III spite of all the
efforts of the enemy's batteries by their
aid an advance can be covered or re-
treat protected, and shorld battle occur
neav the borders of the river, they may do
excellent service by annoying the foe with
their long range rifle cannon, The Gen
erals gunboats lent great assistance to Nc
Clellan's army at Malvern Hill; they saved
Grants army at Pittsburg Landing, and
throughout the war they gave us an advan-
tage which the Coniederates were never
able to overcome. If the French manage
the eunboat business as well AS we did, it
will be worth more to them than an hun
dred thousand soldiers.
