An Italian Sunset.

A correspondent of the Hartford
Times writes from Italy: "Last night
we were driving slowly home, laden
with flowers, after q warm, golden after
noon, when the air about us became
suddenly glorifed, aud looking back
we saw the most wonderful sunset of
our lives. Driving to a commanding
point we gazed at the marvellous scene,
the setting sun and dazzling western
clouds being only a part of it. The
hills around Florence on every side
were bathed in purple light, soft and
tender, and exquisite as a dream, while
the sky above, after the first blaze of
western glory, was aglow with rosy
light that flooded the heavens aud
rolled III pillows over the bills and
even seemed to touch our cheeks
in its omnipresence. At home I
have seen equally brilliant displays
in the west; they have seemed like
q far-off wonder IN which / had no
part-a panorama to be admired at a
distance. Here the whole world seemed
tremulous with color, sky and earth
glowed together, and it was near us; We
were in 1t. The very air we breathed
was rosy red, and over all there was a
softness, a poetry of color, an ecstasy
of Illumination perfectly indescribable,
throwing such glamour over rs that
when at last the light died out of every
thing we awakened as from a trance,
aud, breaking the long silence, ex-
claimed so this is an Italian sunset
Well, shall always feel that I have
been in one ="

REAR ADMIRAL MULANEY, command

that one Spanish man-of-war, lying off
Havana, has forty cases of yellow fever
and another thirty-six cases. No cases
have appeared on any United States
steamer yet The United States steamer
Plymouth, Ossipee and Shawmut, an
chored of Key West, have been ordered
ON a cruiHe in more northern latitude,
aud the other vessels of the North At
lantic squadron have been ordered to
make Port Royal their headquarters.
EARLY in February there were rumors
of an epidemic raging in Mexico which
resembled cholera, and congress appro-
priated 50, 900 TO defray the expenses of
a medical officer Of the army to inves-
tigate its extent and character. The
surgeon general has not thought it
worth while to detail anyone on this
errand, but the recent outbreak of yell
low fever at Key West is likely to
change his views of the sanitary situa-
tion.
The Chicago Tribune Indignantly de-
nies that MOodyand Sankey are making
money cut of the evangelical tour, as
has been charged. 1t says: "No
charges of the kind have been for a
moment entertained in Chicago, where
the reputation for integrity of Messrs.
Moody and Sankey needs no vindica-
tion, and where the worst that has been
alleged against them touches only the
method of their revival-work and its
value"
THE Washington national monument
association has issued an address to the
people Of the United States, urging a

of the society that the monument be
completed on the one hundredth anni-
versary OF the nations birth.
