NAroLEoN AND THE PopE.-The New Orleans
Crescent thus sums up the great struggle be-
tween the Emperor of France and the Pope of
Rome


All the mighty and wonderful machinery of the
Roman Catholic Church is in operation to drive
the Emperor of France from his position regard
ing the temporal sovereignty of the Pope. This
will avail nothing, however, except to show that
the priests do not understand their epoch. and
that the Emperor does understand his. 1t is
simply tins That the people of Central Italy
shall be recognised as entitled to govern them
selves. No foreign power shall interfere to re-
establish papal authority over the Romasna, or
restore the Dukes Of Tuscany and Modena and
the Duchess of Parma to their thrones.

From an accurate account OF the
condition of women in any country, it
would not be difficult to infer the whole
state of society. So great is the infu-
ence they exercise on the character Of
men, that the latter will be elevated or
degraded, according to the situation of
the weaker sex. When women are
slaves, as in Turkey, the men will be
the same; where they are treated as
moral beings,-where their minds are
cultivated, and they are considered
equals, state of society must be
high and the character of the men
energetic and noble. There is SO much
quickness of comprehension SO much
susceptibility of pure and generous
emotion, SO much ardor of affection i'll
women, that they constantly stimulate
men to exertion and have, at the same
time, a most powerful agency in sooth-
ing the angry feelings, and in mitigat-
ing the harsh and narrow propensities
which are generated in the strife Of
passions.


The advantages of giving superior
education to the women are not con-
fined to themselves, but have salutary
influence on our sex. The fear that
increased instruction will render them
incompetent or neglectful i'll domistic
life, is absurd in theory, and completely
destroyed by facts. Women, as well
as men, when once established i'll life,
know that there is an end OF trifiing
its solicitudes and duties multiply upon
them equally fast; the former are apt
to feel them much more keenly, and too
frequently abandon all previous ac-
quirements todevote themselves wholly
to these. But, if the one sex have cul-
tivated and refined minds, the other
must meet them from shame, if not
from sympathy. If a man finds that
his wife is not a mere nurse or house
keeper; that she can, when the occu-
pations of the day are over, enliven a
winters evening; that she can con-
verse on the usual topics of literature,
and enjoy the pleasure. of superior con-
versation, or the reading of a valuable
book, he must have prevented taste,
indeed, if it does not make home still
dearer and prevent him from resorting
to taverns for recreation. The benefits
to her children need not be NJ mentioned /;
instruction and cultivated taste in a
mother enhances their respect and af.
lection for her, and their love of home,
and throw a charm over the whole
scene of domestic life Wna. Tudor.

BLASTING AcCIDrNT.-The San Juan Press

About 10 o'clock on Friday morning, our
informant, Henry Harper, and his co-labor-
er, Richard Dodge, were about to complete
the tamping for blast, when the explosion
occurred. They are entirely ignorant of
what could have produced it, as they were
using plentiful quantity of water, and
worked with even unusual care. Harper
had the little finger Of the right hand blown
off; also the thumb and two first fingers of
the left hand, above the second joints. He
also received severe wound on the left
thigh, ana was otherwise MANNED and bruis-
cd in such q general manner as to lay him
up for some time. Dodge had his only eye
destroyed, by fne piece of gravel, which
pierced through the ball. lie lost the sight
of the other eye about q year ago, while
chopping wood, stick flying up and pro-
ducing that unfortunate injury. This, we
understand, is the fifth time that he has been
blown up by premature explosion; but on
none of the previous occasions did he sus-
tain any serious personal damage. He is
now receiving medical attention at the Half
Way House, between San Juan and Sebas-
topol. Mr.. Harper lies at the Sierra Neva-
