THE EXHIBITION AT RoME.-A special
correspondent describes the exhibition at
Rome Of articles employed in Roman
Catholic worship. Salviati sends from
Venice and Murano some capital mosaics,
the most interesting of which are copied
from the cathedral of San Marco. Enrico
Podio, Roman artist, exhibits one mosaic
specimen, copied from the same renowned
spot, which is quite equal to any Of Sal
Watts. Half wall Is devoted to repre-
senting the incident of Susanna and the
Elders. Many of Francassina's drawings
are to be found in the exhibition, but they
give no idea of his best works, which are
to be found in the Vatican. The principal
drawing represents three priests hanging
dead, three others kneeling and in prayer
before being strung up also, and body of
executioners. There are some magnificent
vestments in the exhibition. Some of them
seem to be of solid gold, SO heavy and
closely woven is the gold thread. The
sordonsuti of Bologna exhibit some very
curious articles worked by them; amongst
Others a set of vestments whose ornamental
ton is done in pen and ink. 1t looks like
the finest embroidery.

STARVATION M LoMDoN.-We take the
following from London paper Of the 5th
inst. !
DR.. Lancaster held three inquests last
week which may serve as an illustration Of
our bOasted civilization. One was on
Richard H0man, aged thirty five, who was
discharged from the new Infrmary ut High
gate without money or food. After this he
was taken into an Omnibus-yard for night
OF his hard fate, and two days later was
found hanging with q horses halter round
his neck, quite dead. The second case was
reported by the medical man as death
from want" and here q man and his wife
were allowed by the parish four shillings q
week and two loaves, out Of which they
had to maintain Themselves and pay their
rent. In the third case, an old man aged
seventy -four, with wife aged forty five,
and four children, had but ten shillings
week. And in this instance, too, the death
which occurred was certified to be the re-
suit Of want On Wednesday in last week
five other inquests were held by Mr..
Humphreys upon five other victims of
privatiOn. One of these was q peculiarly
pitiable case. Elizabeth Spencer, aged
fifty, lived at IA Berner's streets. She had
never food enough to support health, and
her sole means of subsistence consisted of
two shillings q week which she gained by
sewing. Her landlady stated at the inquest
that che used to sit constantly in her room
sewing, and never made any acquai ntances.
died on the previous Friday, and the
doctor said that the stomach and intestines
were quite empty when he made the post
mOrtem examination. There was no
trace of fat, and the woman was Very
emaciated. Her blood was poor and thin,
and there was very little of it. She died
from cold and starvation" Can nothing
be done to prevent these frightful tragedies
in the midst of such unbounded luxury Z

racing and gambling, or at best in giving

GENIUS, TALENT, TACT. T..-These three
elements Of mans power are often con
founded, aud are frequently employed
to express the same thought. Genius
may be defined as certain faculty
which is without knowledge or expo.
rienced effort 1t is high capacity
under the power ofinspiration, the fash
of noble thought rushing suddenly on
the brain, but shaped into perfection by
the spirit Of order and art. Genius
works from within outward, and is its
own end; and then goes abroad for an
audience.
Talent, however, is something practi.
cal in its operations. 1t is solid sub.
stance, 1t grasps the primary qualities
and relations Of things; it works from
without inward; it fuds, it models aud
ends in society; goes to the soul only
for power, aud then EXISTS in exhibition
Tact is the power to control aud di.
rect, as well as to realize the practical
workings of common sense. 1t is the
exemplidcations OF sound judgment as
contra-distinguisped from mere imigina.
tion. Tact is qommon sense shrewdly
working out the accomplishments of a
given end, subordinating and making
others tributary to its final success.

A Dry Joke.

10 shadJ Sehuylkill cove some half
dozen young gentlemen bathers were
disporiing themselves 10 the cooling
river waters, having left their clothes
upon the shore.
While they were at the height of
their enjoyment, two young ladies', each
with book in her hand, came down
steep, narrow path, and seated them
selves on moss covered rock, under O
spreading tree, opened their books aud
began to read. The young men swan
around projecting poiut Of the rock
aud waited for the damsels to 60 away,
but they continued to read on aud oa,
turning slowly leaf after leaf, SO inter
esting were the sensation novels they
