at the hands of two stalwart Croats, who
were armed with formidable punches of
berch rods. Every stroke with them
must have been intensely painful, but the
Countess did not utter a sound of COM
plant. At the twenty-first stroke, how
ever, she tainted, and when her executors
had inflicted the full number of strokes
on her senseless body, she was carried
back in an almost lifeless condition to her
cell, and thrown ON a bundle of straw.
She never fully recovered from this terri
bic castigatiOn, and died in a few months
afterwards. This is only one case of
many.
The fathers, husbands, brothers and
sons of these martyred Italian ladies
formed in the year 1850 secret league
for the purpose of melting out punishment
to the brutal Austrian commanders who
had ordered their mothers, wives and sis
tiers to be chastised in this cruel manner.
They resolved to bide their time and to
pick off the Austrians whenever an OPP
portunity to do SO presented itself. Two
years ago great excitement was created in
Austria by the assassination of an Aus
TRAN General in Hlyria, by young Italian
nobleman, who thus avenged his mother,
who had been terribly flogged, by order
of the General. The avenger succeeded
in his escape, and the Austrian govern
ment did not take pains TO obtain his ex-
tradition from the I"'i'n authorities. A
few months ;-' ....-r tragedy took
place in a ucig ..yJ.LJOd e Laybacn,
where Neipperg, the principalactor in the
cruel scene which we narrated above,
owned country seat.
On the 9th of April, a well dressed
young stranger presented himself at the
chateau, and told the servant who opened
the door to him that he desired to see
Count Neipperg. ''The count is in the
garden. Shall l call him?" asked the
servant. ''No," replied the stranger;
''take me to the garden, and l will see
His EXcellency there" The servant con-
Quoted him to the garden, in rather re-
mote part of which they met Neipperg,
who was promenading with his daughter,
a young lady about twenty-five. The
stranger, addressing Neipperg, said to
him. 81 am Count Ferrari. What did
you do to my mother 2" Neipperg looked
in surprise at him. The next moment
Count Ferrari plunged a knife into his
breast and despite the frantic attempts OF
the young Countess, Neipperg succeeded
in making his escape.

MIR. EAULKNER's AR REST IN 1861

in consequence of the publication of
erroneous statements ascribing the arrest
of the Hon. Z. J. Faulkner, in August,
1861, to suspicion on the part of the gov
eminent as to his fidelity in the discharge
of his duties as previously United States
minister to France, that gentleman has
written a letter to the VALLEY Star, de-
failing the facts of that occurrence. He
states that after his return from Europe,
and reporting himself at Washington SO
as to close the affairs of his mission, he
received from the government a pass or
safe conduct through the lines to his home
in Virginia. Two days afterwards he
was arrested by order of Secretary Came
ron, the reason thereof being officially
given that ''being a distinguished citizen
of the State of Virginia he has been ar
rested and is now held as a hostage for
the safe return of Henry S. Magraw, late
treasurer of Pennsylvania, and that with
my consent he shall not be released until
Magraw's return" No other reason was
ever alleged, and upon the return of Ma
graw Mr.. Faulkner claimed and obtained
his liberty.

There's not a heath, however rude,
But hath some little flower
To brighten up its solitude,

There's not a heart however cast
By grief or sorrow down,

Say, which enjoys the greatest blisses,
John, who DOrinda's picture kisses,
Or Tom, his friend, the favored elf,
Who kisses fair Dorinda's self

While both are thus with raptures fainting,
To which the balance should incline,
Since Tom and John both kiss painting.

AVAILABILITY EXPLAINED.

An address was made in st. Patrick's
Cathedral, in New York city on Sunday,
July 81, by Vicar General STAIRS, giving
an explanation of the dogma of infalli
bility as now formally incorporated into
the Catholic creed. In his remarks
Father STAIRS used the following striking
illustration. He said
$50 many false ideas have been uttered
on this subject, it is necessary to test
plainly what the doctrine is. 1t is well
illustrated in some human affairs. For
instance, in the United States we have
Supreme Court, with Chief Justice and
Associated Justices. Many cases are re-
ferred from the lower courts to this. But
after case has been decided in the Su-
preme Court there can be no appeal.
These final decisions are as near like those
of the Pope as any secular matter can be
like a spiritual one. When the Chief
Justice is not on the bench his opinions
only pass as those of an ordinary citizen
when he presides in the court his decisions
are final, and the whole country submits
to them. And so in the church, now that
the great dogma is announced from the
Papal chair there is no appeal from it. >"
