A Venetian Romance.

A romantic story comes to US from
Venice. A young Englishman appear
ed every morning in the tobacco divan OF
Signor Albert, bought the most expen-
sive cigars, gave presents to the beauti-
full shop girl, and, SO far as his faulty
command Of the Italian tongue allow
ed, paid assiduous court TO her. Sub
sequently be presented her with his
visiting card, on which was engraved
Lord Rodney. He told her that he was
staying at the Grand Hotel, had hired
the entire first efage, and was dying for
love of her. He asked her to be his
wife, but wished that the marriage
shoald be performed secretly and im-
mediately, because he feared that if his
aristocratic kinsfolk in England gained
any knowledge of his intensions, they
would move heaven and earth to hinder
the union The young lady told the
story to her employer, and Signor AL
berti prudently enough went to the
Grand Hotel, made inquiries, and found
that all the servants spoke OF the gene
rosity and wealth of the English noble
man. He advised her to accept the
splendid offer, and day was fixed fol
the marriage. AS the young lord did
not turn up at the appointed time, Sig
nor Alberti and the lady went to the
hotel to find him. They found him ir
a white cravat cleaning his masters
boots.

Fast War Vessels.

The Spanish Government has just
contracted with Scotch firm to build
a man-of-war capable of making twenty
six miles an hour, and the British Ad-
miralty has ordered fleet of small gun
boats guaranteed TO steam nineteen
knots an hour in rough weather. If
the Spanish vessel comes up to expec-
tation she will probably be the fastest
in the world.

CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE.

The latest absurd assertion Of the
Government organ is, that the platform
lately put forth by the Government
party's national (7) candidates has the
confidence Of the people. Compared
with the facts, it would be hard to de-
termine what the Government organ
means by "the people" 1t might be
surmised that by ''the people" the Gov
ernment organ meant to designate the
Third Estate, we're it not for the fact
that the policy of the King and his
Ministers is diametrically opposed to
the interests of the Third Estate. The
Government organ cannot mean by
!" the people" the taxpayers, for, un-
fortunately, the bulk of the taxpayers
have more OF contempt for than conf
dence in the leaders OF the Kings op-
.apooieiors --the---z.sase OF eiac people.
Admitting, then, for arguments sake,
that the taxpayers who furnish the
money to support First Estate-to
go to the wall when the people win
are in minority, then. who can the
Government organ mean by ''the peo-
ple"-''fhe people" who have given their
confidence to Mr.. Hayseden and his
three First Estate chums2
Perhaps the Government leaders are
making the same mistake once made
in France, when the Royalists of that
unfortunate nation confounded "the
people" with dependents upon the First
Estate. In this day and age, after many
bloody revolutions, it has been decided
by the worlds Third Estate that the
taxpayers who support the "bubble Of
royalty" are "Me people," But, alas
these are not "the people" " who have
given their confidence to the candidates
of the Hawaiian First Estate. 1t is un-
fortunately too true that the Third
Estate of Hawaii does not give its con-
fidence to the First Estate of Hawaii.
Such a state of affairs has often existed
under monarchial government.
The Third Estate-the people who
pay the taxes-cannot be fairly repre-
sented unless the capital and property
uron which taxes are paid are repre-
sented. To assert that the Government
has the confidence of the people of
Hawaii, simply because it is backed by
voters who do not pay for the bubble
Of royalty" to the exclusion Of those
who do pay for the "bubble Of royalty"
but who, unfortunately for the country,
are practically debarred from the privi-
lege of the ballot, is to broadly assert
the doctrine Of might against right.
1t would be we'll for the Government
to remember, before it neglects the
cause Of the people too far, and plunges
the nation further in debt to carry
on its folly, that political equations are
sometimes solved like mathematical
equations, viz ; by changing the form
without altering the value as far as
the people are concerned. In this ex-
treme, however, "the people" seldom
have the confidence Of the Gov

What's yeur real name2 Is it Bill, or Tom, or Bob? or what is it5 reckon shook like leaf, and didn't know hardly what to do. So l said it wouldn't be DO use to try to play 1t any longer, and I would just make clean breast and tell her everything. told her my father and mother was dead, and the law had bound me to a mean old farmer in the country thirty miles back from the river, and he treated me so bad couldn't stand it no longer. I stole some of his daughters clothes and cleared out, and had been three nights coming thirty miles. said believed my uncle Abner Moore, would take care of me, and that was why struck out for this town of Goshen.
 Goshen, child This ain't Goshen This is St. Petersburg. Goshen's ten miles further up the river." "Well, I've got to be moving along. I'll fetch Goshen before daylight" Hold on minute. I'll put you up a snack to eat, you might want it." So she put me up snack, and says:
 "Say, when cows laying down, which end of her gets up first? Answer up prompt now. Don't stop to study over it. Which end gets up 6rst?"
 "The hind end, num-"
 "Well, then, horser
 "The forrard end, num-"
 "Which side of tree does the moss grow on2"
 "North side"
 eff fifteen COWS is browsing on a hill side, how many of them eats with their heads pointed in the same direction ?"
 "The whole fifteen, num-"
 "Well, I reckon you have lived in the country. thought maybe you was try ing to hocus me again. What's your real name, nowW
 George Peters, num-"
 "Well, try to remember it, George. Don't forget and tell me it's Alexander before you go, and then get out by say ing it's George Alexander when catch you. And don't go about women in that old calico. You do a girl tolerable poor, but you might fool men, maybe Bless you, child, when you set out to thread a needle, don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it that's the way woman most always does, but man always does 'tother way. And when you throw at rat or anything, hitch yourself up tip toe, and fetch your hand up over your head as awkward as you can, and miss your rat about six or seven foot. Throw stiff armed from the the shoulder, like there was pivot there for it to work on-like girl; not from the wrist and elbow, with your arm put to one side, like boy. And, mind you, when a girl tries to catch anything in her lap, she throws her knees apart she don't clap them together the way you did wken you catched the lump of lead. Why, I spotted you for boy when you was threading the needle; and con- trived the other things just to make cer- tain. Now trot along to your uncle, Sarah Mary Williams George Alexander Peters, and if you get into trouble you send word to Mrs. Judith Loftus, which is me, and I'll do what can to get you out of it."
