Sale of Port Deposit Property.-Mr. F.
S. Everist, assignee, on Monday, Oct. 20th,
sold the Tannery and other property OF
Mr.. J. L. Maxwell, situate in Port Deposit,
to Mr. Kaufman Katts, for $4,O50. The
property consists of large four storied
brick dwelling and a smaller dwelling
house. in addition to the steam tannery.
The price is not considered to be one-half
the value of the property, as the brick
house alone would cost not far from ST.
900 to build it. But the times are so out
of Joint that it is almost impossible to sell
real property at all. Mr.. Everist has had
this property in the market for long
time; and it has been well advertised, and
yet but one bidder could be found.

PecuIiaritieB of the Psasanfry Of
Tuscany.

From Temple Bari
Here are faces and forms and attitudes
which tell hoy truly the old Tuscan ar
lists reproduced the real beings whom
they saw around them. You have CHR
lapdaios, Fra Bartolommeos, Lippo Lip
pis, Andrea del Sartos, by the score.
Very few of the peasants are ugly; none,
broadly speaking, are awkward. Their
gestures are what We are apt to term
theatrical-that is to say, they are in
tended to be effective. And there is,
undoubtedly, dramatic instint in these
people, which enables them, without
taking thought about the matter, to
assume poses which a painter might
copy line for line. Many persons will
say that the reason why Southern nations
are usually so graceful is their "uncon-
sciousness, and that our insularreserved
pride is the fruitful cause Of clumsy
movements and unpleasant bearing. My
observation, on the contrary, would lead
me to believe that an Italian is always
conscious" more or less, but that his
consciousness by no means embarrasses
him as it would an Englishman. have
seen a muddy carter in the street put on
a new manner and gait on pereeiving
that he was observed; but he changed
his bearing decidedly for the better. BE
liked 10 be looked at. That to attract
attention is a bugbear to the average
EnFlishman is fact entirely inoompre-
bensible 10 an Italian. Why should he
not attract attention2 BE has no mis-
giving that he will not be found TO repay
any amount Of attention. And then
one must do the Tuscans the justice to
say that they are excellent spectators as
we'll IS performers. Their sympathy
with the mood Of the moment is so quick
and subtle that each man ia sure Of hav-
his points taken aad bis effects under
stood. ..
In a curious way, too, eTenin the days
of deeadenee, there fingers among the
bssso popolo a sense and perception
Of artistic things. It's like the echo Of an
almost extinct religion dim recogni-
ton Of the great dethroned idol, and
worshippers by the thousand throughout
the length and breadth Of Little Tuscany.
For example. q common stone mason, a
mere day laborer, was once employed 10
