When that is done, or bo is convinced that it cannot be done, be will no doubt return to his homo. Ho is in regular teeclpt of tho Democrat, and, conse quently, is well informed of matter at homo. Ho expresses satisfaction at tho appointment of Judgo Or via., who be says has tbo ability to make a Gtstralo Jttdo. Ho fouls gratified to know that tho scales of justice nro in such safo harnlri, and feels easy about tbo judicial busines ot tbo Ihntrict: lK,a I iiik.nd: c liavo left Italy,1 full of historical intercHt and associ ations, but as I shook tho (Inst from off my foot 1 could say of (ho Italians as h.oneca ouco saul ol tho uorsicana, l nnta est ulcisci lex, allra vtvero ruin,1 tortin riicntiri, cptarta ncgaro Octini.

Hat in oraor to get along smoothly and rendor your percginutions like tho descensus Avernt lat ilis whilst groping among tbo ruins of the Past, it 18 highly neces sary that you should possoss a largo modicum ol credulity anil liavo an epiglottis suflicionlly capacious to gulp down without a wliingo all that you sco and hoar. A skoptio in Romo would bnvo ns ungracious an 011100 as tho dovil's attorney who desirod to bo heard in opposition to tho claims of a saint wishing to bo cononi.cd. Tho limits of this letter will not allow mo lo givo j'ou in nirnxo an account of all that wo saw and heard, and if I wcro to retail all tho stories which wero told us at every old crypt and church, I would bo ablo to narralo tales which Baron Munchanson nevor dreamed of. But ns tho ministers say and don't do, I will bo brief. Wo wore prosontod toony numbor of saints and a greater number of -sinners, saw relict innumerable, stood upon tho oxact spot where St. Peter was crucified, as wo woro told, and saw several pieces of tho "vera crux." , Wc visited tho plnco whoro Iho villa ".Mncii'titis alavisEdilo rogibus" (.Muctcnas descended from ancient kings) is said lo liavo stood. Upon it was built Iho "golden houso" of Nero, which was subsequently deslroyod mid upon its ruins woro crocted tho Bulbs of Titus, tha ruins of which still remain. You will fine' amidst the ma jestic ruins und columns and arches Unit surround you enough to hold you as in sotno magic spell, Every plnco recalls somo reminiscence of regal or iiipcrial splendor, "r.vnry fallen col umn or gigantic ruin will scorn like a spectral liunil thrust out lo put buck tbo shadow on the dial of lime." Wo riitiio lo Jlonio expecting lo witness tho imposing pngennti and ceremonies which aro usually observed during. Holy Week, but owing to tho "kilo unpleasantness between iclor Emmanuel and tho Vopc, tho laltor lias interdicted nil ceremonies such ns fero wont to bo celebrated in tho palmy days of tho Papacy, much to our regrotand disappointment. Tho l'opo considers himself a prisoner anil doos not leuvo tho Vatican. Sinoo Victor Lmmnnunl has bocomo King of United Italy, tcmpora mutantur, the principle of Cavouris beginning to gain ground.

Wo woro much intorestod in a visit wo mado to an old library, where are preserved in excellent condition somo old manu scripts. Among thoso was ono of Virgil, of the ourth or fifth centnry, The environs of Floronco nro very beautiful, but wo woro prevontod by the inclomoncy of tho weather from making any excursions into the sur rounding country, Having spent a week very pleunj.ly in Flomiug, wru struck our touts una pitcnou mem '., . :'. .: AT VENICE, a city built npon tho sen, whoro, in its broad and narrow streets, it is ebbing and flowing, "and tho salt sea woed clings to tho marble of hor palaces." Vonico is built in tho midst of a crowded cluslor of islets, amounting in number', to about seventy, and tbo buildings stand for the most part upon artificial foundations of piles. Tho principal of thoso islands is called Rialto, upon which Shylock is said to have had bis placo of business, and whore ho was accustomed to make his bargains. Here Shakcrvponre gathered tho malorials with which the Insatiate avarice of the morchant of Vonico has boon immortalized. , I inquired after tho fair Portia, but sho was not at home. Having boon a groat expositor 01 tho laws, 1 had nn elective atnnity for her. Wo stood upon tho famous Bridgo of Sighs, and heaved several docp ones, hut for a dillVrent "reason' limn that which occasioned Iho long' und deep drawn sighs which woro druwn there oenturies ago. It seemed strango not to hear tho sound of a csrriugo or tho tramping of a horse, but hero you glido up and down the water streets in the noiseless gondola. Wo woro favored with moonlight, and, as some ono has said, Vonico, iiko a failed beauty, shows better by candle light. From Venice we came to MILAN to sco what the Milancso regard ait the eighth wonder of tho world tho Cathedral. It is certainly ono of the most impressive ecclesiastical edifices that wo have seen, and wo woro much more pleased with it than St. Peter's at Romo. To attempt tu describe tho rich profusion of ornaments, spires, statues, pinnacles of Gothic fretwork winch everywhere abounds, would bo impossible within tho limits of this letter, and oven if possiblo 1 would ho averse to attempt it. From, Milan wo camo to liENKVA, situated in a canton ol Switzerland only l.r miles long by as many broad, so limited in extent that Voltaire mado use of his well known sarcasm, "When I shako my wig I powdur (t lio whole Republic" Vol, although so insig nificant in territorial cxlotit, it has enacted an important part iu tho his tory of Intellectual and religious pro gress. o visited tho church and saw tho pulpit and chair which wcro used by Calvin and Irom winch with his nnbotindod '.on I and energy ho pro claimed and maintained tho principles of tho reformation. Wo also saw tho houso whoro the great roformor lived and diod. To go to the othor oxtrcmo, and by way of a sharp contrast, wo drovo five miles lo a placo called Fcr dox, whoro Voltairo built for himself a fi no chateau and whore aro scvoral rooms containing reminiscences. Ad joining tho chateau is a chapel erected by him, over tho portal ot which is tho ostentations inscription, Doo Eroxit Voltairo." Voltairo erectod it to God. Wo intend to go from hero to Paris in order thnt 1 may soo my physician tliero. I am improving, 1 think, and do nolintond toroturn until my health is restored or its restoration declared lo bo impossible. C. A. M. Party Roiin fries.

I insist that this third section should be struck out of tho bill as perpolualing a systom which ought not to exist lor one moment.

Ere ho dreamed of fright or fear onco, or had time to start and run, old man Brown mado his appcar anco with his doublo barreled gun. Susan's knees shook fust and taster, William also shook 'lis suid, till they tumblod down tho plnstor from tho coiling overhead. Susun screamed, her dark hair fly ing like a meteor streaming lar,spriiig ing to her feet and crying, "Please don't shoot, O cruel pa !" But that pa, so cold and cruel, swore ho d tend Bill to that climo whero there's too much fire and fuel fur lo havo a pleas ant time.

Ho shouted himself hoarse, but no one camo. Tho nearest houso was half a milo nwuy, and it tho farmer heard tbo wild calls for help ho gavo thorn no attention. After tho man had boon a prisoner for upward of an hour bo heard tho whisllo of a down freight train.

Another mulch, an instant of fear and doubt, and then tho paper blazed tip and curled over and around ihn bundle and swayed right and left with the night wind, lis waved tho signal of fire back and forth, anil just when ho was ready to believe that death under tho wheels was corlain ho heard the whisllo for brakes.

A correspondent of tho , Alta Cati. fornia gives a grnphin description of a Turkish wodding to which she was admiltod. Tbo brido was dressed in whilo Bilk, brocadod with silver and ncurls, and around her , waist was a belt containing a fortuno in prcnious stones. Her cheeks wcro pain toil a deep crimson laid on in a heart shspo, and another heart was painted on the chin, tho rest of tho foco white as a luminous eosmetic could make it. Tbo ryebrows were painted, jntuneuly black; they met, and Were ' stretched lo tho temples. Her fingers wcra dyed deop crimson, and her long black hair was hru'ded full of littlo jingling coins. Her littlo feet were shod in velvet slippers' embroidered " with pearls, and she woro greut diamond ear rings. Alter driukiuir . oofToe, which the writor wonld fain immor talize, it was so very precious, and gulping down somo rare Turkish bon bons mixed with pasto and paregoric, they inspected tho trosseau of tho brido. Tlie chief priest who performed the corcmony was blazing with jowols, and woro a costly mitre. -Ho kept the poor littlo brido waiting threo whole hours whilo bo . was attending another wodding, but tho people seem ed to bear tho delay wilb putieoco. The brido was rather under tbo ordi-' nary height, and iho bridegroom a very tall man, and thoy were obliged to stand with thoir foreheads touching each other during tho entire coremony which took a whole hour. After tha ceremony tho brido wa plated on a hick chair, and tho bridegroom camo forward with a richly trimmed cushion bearing tho bridul presents a watch and chain, a diamond broocb, ear rings, necklaces, and bracelets, ana a largo knitted purso filled with gold. The bridegroom parted the great voil which hung over tho now wifo, and adorned her with tho jewels. - Then sbo was lifted by mon and seated aslrido a small barrel of wino, and tho feast commenced. She was obliged to sit thero till all tho wine was drank out of the barrol, which was nearly two hours. She look tired ecough, for thoy gavo hor nothing to eat, and it was daylight before the feast was ended, and tho brido borne away. . When Men Cease to be Revengeful remaps Dogs win. A littlo dog belonging to a gentle man, residing ncarSlony Brook, Long Island, was in Iho habit of following his muster's wood-wagon to the land ing, somo threo milos distant. Ono day ho was set upon and roughly han dled by a lurgo dog belonging to a res ident in tbo next village. The next day, though lamo, soro and bruised, tho littlo dog persisted in accompany ing tho wood-wagon again. - Wbon the wagon started, tho largo farm dog was found to bo moving along quietly under it. He was nover known to ac company the wagon team beforo. Tho teamster attempted to urivo nioi uuck, but ho refused to return. Tho littlo dog led the way, limping and brooding over his wrongs, llo was also con templating the sweetness ot revenge, and glouting over its near accomplish ment. hen ho reached too piaco whero he bad received his ill trculment tho day before, ho limped up to whero his enemy lay basking In the sun in tho front yard, and snapped and snarl ed through tho pickets in a most tan talizing manner. Thinking lo repeal tho chastisement of tho day before, the villugo dog leaped oyer tho fence, but only to oncottntor the large farm dog who hnd boon watching the proceed ings from nndor tho slow-moving wag on, and who now enmo rushing to the rescue. Tho vtllngo dog was noarly killed beforo they could bo separated. Tho large farm dog left tho party after tho fight nnd roturncd home, lie had como only for tho pnrpose of aiding bis little lncnd to obtain rovongo. xno littlo wrotch was almost human in bis airs of triumph, and in his expressions of gratifiod malico. By what process, think you, did tho little dog com municato his wrongs, or plan with his big canine friend this woll con cocted schemo of retaliation f Printers. Wo bolicvo that tho masses look upon tho printer as a littlo abovo a brute a littlo lower than mankind. It is cxpeotod ol him to tako nonsonso of all sorts and malco senso out of it. If a mistnko should occur in tho com position of what the author calls manu script (but looks moro liko gceso tracks round a frog pond), the printer is supposed to know all tho words tbat tho author intended and supply tbom accordingly. Tbo printor must go to church and eulogize tbo sermon, evon if it wcro not equal to a page in the Dutch almanao as lor a manor ol interest. He must go to the .Mayors court, and loll all that thoro occurs; but withal, ho must not mention tbo names of parties orrostod.. Must drink with everybodv, but must nover get drunk himself-most "puff" all sorts of liquors, although ho is aware tbat two drinks of somo ot them would send bim lo tho tombs of his fathers. Must pay his debts and givo to every object of charily; yet if ho asks for his dues from others, no must siiomtl to any ohuso they chooso to honp upon bim.
