Alfonso is reported to have asked of dis
tinguished politician, as he was leaving Paris
for Spain, if he had any advice to give him.
And the politician said: "Yes-beware of
pithy phrases" ''Of what sort p said
Alfonso. ''Well, such as, The Empire is
peace and Italy shall be free from the
Apennines to the Adriatic,' and Not store
OF our forts nor an inch of our territory, etc.
For if you give out any of these you will try
to adhere to what they express or you won't.
If you try to adhere you will fall into error
after error from foolish fancy of consist
ency, and if you don't you will be written
down as charlatan and hypocrite'

Hiram Green, Esq, says: "All the differ

latter is willing TO sacrifice the country to save

RIDICULOUS MUss.-A Keokuk lady, while
engaged in the pursuit Of her domestic duties,
encountered mouse in the flour barrel
Now, most ladies under similar circumstances
would have uttered few feminine shrieks
and then sought safety in the garrett But
this one possessed more than the ordinary
degree of feminine courage. She summoned
the hired man and told him to get the shot
gun, call the bulldog, and station himself at
convenient distance. Then she climbed
half way up stairs and commenced to punch
the flour barrel vigorously with pole. Pres
emily the mouse made its appearance and
started across the floor The dog at once
went in pursuit. The man fired and the dog
dropped dead. The lady tainted and fell
down stairs, and the hired man, thinking she
was killed, and fearing that he would be ar
rested for murder disappeared and has not
been seen since. The mouse escaped.

A TEXAS DECISION.

[From the Decatur (Texas) Advance Guard
The case of the State of Texas against
couple Of youths for the theft of bushel of
onions was tried in our District Court last
week. The proof was that the onions, when
taken by the boys, were growing in the gar
den, and had not been detached from the soil
previous to the taking The State failed to
show that at any time after they had been
detached they had been out Of the possession
of the defendants. Hence it was held BY the
defendants, and the position sustained by the
Court, that while growing they were part of
the realty and not subject of theft; that the
moment they We're detached they were in the
possession of the defendants, and never were
in the possession of the owner from the time
they became personal property until delivered
to him by the defendants. Hence they were
acquitted under this ruling, being Simply
guilty of trespass on real property
