A Female Soldier.

The military annals of most European
countries, says the London Echo, records
few instances of women who having sue
ceeded in entering the ranks of the army,
have highly distinguished themselves in
the apparently incOngruous profession of
arms. Such fact has, however, according
to the OpiRtOne, been unprecedented in
the Italian Army. 1t was discovered how
ever, the other day, that young soldier
named Marcotti, who was to receive his
discharge on the 1st of next month, having
enlisted in 1866, is one of these heroines.
belonged to numerous and poor family,
living at San Ambrozio, near Turin,
and worked in the mines of Upper Pied
mont, TO which latter circumstance her
extraordinary physical strength may, prob
ably, be attributed.
She enlisted in 1866, at the time when
Italy was about to engage in the struggle
with Austria her motive being TO save her
children, from being obliged to serve. Not
only did Julia perform all soldiers duties
as well as her comrades, but she fought in
the first rank at the battle of Custozza, and
obtained the medal Of military valor. On
hearing of the case, King Victor Emanuel
sent for the woman, bestowed upon her the
Gross of tho Grown, and desired that she
should bc sent home with pension of 800

ly selected and legibly printed in its pages.
IL Is first-rate agricultural paper. The
most fresh and instructive articles on agricul-
tural topics regularly appear in this depart
ment.
1t is an independent political paper, belong
Ing to no party and wearing no collar. 1t
fights for principle, and for the election of the
best men TO office. II especially devotes its en-
ergies to the exposure Of the corruptons that
now weaken and disgrace our country, and
threaten to undermine republican institutions
altogether. II has no fear of knaves, and asks
no favors from their supporters.
1t reports the fashions for the ladies and the
markets for the men, especially the cattle
markets, to which 1t pays particular attention

The Republican Defeat.
From the New York Times.


So far as the censure which the people
have now pronounced upon it is just. il
ought to be received in a good spirit, and
with an earnest desire to avoid all occasions
tor similar rebukes in the future. But un-
fortunately. when popular preJuiices are
once aroused, they seldom are confined by
the limits of justice and this is one rea-
son among many others why it is prudent
on the part of statesmen and leaders not
to run any risk of stirring up those preju-
dices The public, when it is exasperated.
will strike down the good with the bad, will
punish without cause, and will even injure
their own interests. All these things have
happened in the recent elections.
For instance, precisely the same penalty
has been visited upon the heads of Gen.
Dix and Mr.. Butler. Yet no man in the
country less deserved harsh or ungrateful
treatment than Gen. Dix. He has been
Governor against whom not even his enc
mics could ind a just ground of complaint.
ANY decent Democrat will admit that he
has done bis duty faithfully. Why. then
should the State have been deprived of the
benefit Of his services? He is much safer
man than Mr.. Tilden, even leaving out of
account the wretched gang which stands at
Mr.. Tilden's back. We have tried him and
know what he is. The only reason given
tor rejecting Gov. Dix is that the people
are for the moment tired of the Republican
party But they could have kept Dix while
still maniiesting their displeasure with the
party. As for the deliberate restoration to
power of the Tammany Ring in this city.

THE NEW
W A L 7 III A M.

The past twelve months at the wsltham Watch
Factory have been the busiest in the Company
history. Several wholly new stem.winding watches
have been produced, and great improvements
have besn effected in the manufacture OF all varsity
OF their standard watches, until now they include
every size in both key and stem-winding. that
can be desired, Of avery quality and Of every
price. At the same time new inventions in ma
chinery, and other large economics, have cheap
ened the cost. 50 that at present It Is not too much
to claim that the Waltham Watches are the best
and cheapest watches in the world. These claims
are, in fact, almost everywhere admitted. In this
country It is matter or fact that hardly any One
American watches are sold but those OF the Wsltham
make, while orders are now regularly received
from, England, Aus.ralis, and ths British Posses
sions generally and foreign countries are abandon
ing the handmade productions OF Switzerland and
England and eagerly adopting American machine
made Waltham watches in their place.
Buyers Of silver watches should be careful to
observe the stamp OF the Company on the case, As
well IS on the movement, as the Waltham Watch
movements are frequently put into cases whish
are inferior both In quality Of metal and work
msnship.
For sale by all leading jewellers.
Positively no Watches sold at retail.
