News from Italy During the ReView
the. Emperor of the French
Friendly Disposed Toward Italy !---
The Dangers of Revolution in France
--Bismarck's
teorrearondenee of the N. Y.'World.l
PAnis Oct. 25.—D0 you remember in Ivanhoe
the shock which is administered to Prince John
of England, as he sits smiling and self-satisfied
among his peers at the tournamerit, by a little
missive, which a dusty and draggled courier,
madly riding, brings to his royal but unfraternal
bands'? lie tears open the note, and reads the
few but ominous words, "Look to yourself;
the devil is unchained." Richard, the lion
heart, has passed out of the Hapsburg dungeon
and the king is coining to claim his own again !
Even such has been the effect of the news which
came to-day to the Emperor of the French in the
midst of his grand review, held in honor of the
Kaiser, in the Bois de Boulogne. Garibaldi is in
the Roman. States, and marching upon Rome!file
m
Roans have risen, and there is shooting of citi ens
In the streets of the Eternal City, by the Bolas a of
the •gloly Father." It would be more than idle
for me to speculate on the possible results of this
new phase of the Italian ditliculty,for the telegraph
will far outspeed uty lucubrations ; and who can
venture to prophesy at the opening of such a
chapter of accidents as is now before us? The
news of the outbreak in Rome was sent yester
day, with the result of a French Council held
thereon, by a French Cabinet courier to London,
and the French Government is urging Lord Stan
ley to bring the whole, influence of the English
name in Italy to bear against the Revolutionists,
under a solemn promise that if England will now
support the proposition of France, for a general
European Congress, the Roman question will be
settled in a sense favorable to Italy. This you
may accept ascertain. After all his hesitations
and waveruags ' the Emperor Napoleon has made
up his mind to abandon Rome to Italy. But this
he can only do if he is left free to do it, without
direct external pressure. King Victor Em
manuel, who has certainly shown extraordinary
nerve and a real spirit of patriotism in this trying
is
read, ordeal, is rea to do and to bear all that it
humanly possible for him to do and to bear,
in order to keep France free from a fresh entan
glement in the affairs of Italy. But here is the
French fleet at Toulon ready to sall;..,and the
French army ready to embark,und the Pope in
direct danger, and the Emperor Napoleon com
pelled to Choose between eating his solemn asser
lion, that he would maintain the Pope's author
ity against invasion and insurrectionary violence
on the onaaide, and putting his foot back again
into the Roman trap on the other. It is the
most agonizing of alternatives for a prince,
whose most characteristic trait is his in
tense repugnance to being forced to decide
promptly in a critical case. With the news from
Rome and Garibaldi, however, comes the bet
ter news that General Cialdini has succeeded in
inducing Durando, the Pledmontese soldier of
1899, and Bixio, the former friend of Garibaldi,
to stand by him in the formation of a new and
anti-revolutionary cabinet. If this be confirmed—
if the King of Italy can be made strong enough
to resist the pressure of the revolutionary tide,
even by a coup d'etat, and by the temporary
suspension of the Italian constitution time enough
may yet be gained to allow the Emperor and
King Victor between them, to disentangle this
i
maddening mbroglio. But see what a world of
mischief may be done by two honest men ! No
body doubts, I believe, the sincerity
and singlemindedness either of Garibaldi or
Pope Pins IX.; but these two Individuals, each
of them honestly regardbag the other as Anti-
Christ, and each of them utterly indifferent to
everything but the absolute and unqualified as
sertion of what he believes to be the Right, are
just now putting the peace of Europe, the lives
of thousands of men, the existence of the Italian
nationality, the future of the Catholic Church
itself Into the greatest danger. It is impossible
not to respect them both, and equally impossible
not to see that they are the supreme nuisances
of Europe at this hour. But here they are, and
being hero they must be dealt with, The Prus
sian Government has urged Italy in the strong
est terms to suppress. the present movement; fdr
while Bismarck is perfectly willing to see Na
poleon • 111. seriously. embarrassed, he has
no desire to see France swung into, a revo
lution such as all well-irlormed persons look
forward to as the not improbable consequence of
a new French intervention in Rome, accompanied
by a war with Italy. A revolutionary Franco
would be a much more troublesome neighbor for
the Germany which Bismarck is bent upon
making than an imperialFranee underits present
ruler. The Italian "relapse" has darkened the face
pf the whole Parisian public to•day. Not oven
the magnificent review which the. Emperor held
in the „Bois do Boulogne in honor of
the Kaizer could chase the cloud. A
very splendid • affair it was, the said re
view; but as the dark; ruasess tho infantry de-

filed before the immense, applauding crowd, and
the artillery thundered along, and the superb
lines of the cavalry clashed, and clanged in the
charge, the thought was in all men's minds—
"yet a little vvhile ' and where will these be fights
ing ? and for what ?" The soft, sad sunlight of
the lovely autumnal day, the golden and
russet tints of the falling forest leaves, con
spired with the general feeling concerning
public affairs to make the spectacle, at
least to me, melancholy rather than mag
nificent. It was impossible, too, as one looked
upon Francis Joseph of Austria and his brothers,
riding in their - white uniforms beside the Em
peror of the French, not to remember how dif
ierent were the circumstances in which the
Kaiser had last gazed before upon the hosts of
France in their war array. From the heights of
Cavriana and the plains of Bolferino, in June,
ltds9, to the Bois de Boulogne in 1867, what a
century seems to have elapsed! But if Francis
Joseph is a sovereign who "bath had losses"
and who has been taught by them—it would
appear to reflect rather more seriously than is
wont of Teuton princes upon the mutability of
human affairs--he Is also a soldier who adores
the fetiches of uniforms and discipline, of -
meuvres and of equipments. And as a soldier
he might have been stolid indeed not to be
moved by the material military splendor of the
scene in which be moved both as participant and
a" spectator to-day. More than forty thousand
of the best troops of France were
under arms for the occasion. They were drawn
up in line, infantry, cavalry, artillery, on the
beautiful grounds otthe race-course, and as the
cortege of the Emperor—a waving "Blrnatn
wood," of brilliant colors and floating plumes,
flashing steel and plunging steeds—swept in
review along those lines, the drums beat, the
trumpets Bounded, the arms clashed in salute.
Certainly nothing can be more irrational than•
war—but is man a rational being? And
nothing so stirs his blood, if it be hot in
the veins, as the pomp and eircumstanel, the
music and clangor, the color and shimmer and
light of a great host thus superbly ordered, and
arraying itself on so vast an amphitheatre, under
a sky so blue and soft and radiant. For October,
to-day, for a brief hour, vouchsafed to Paris an
atmosphere worthy the traditional renown of
this "mellow month." The House of Austria has
never brought much political good luck to
France; but Francis Joseph certainly
brings Napoleon good' weather. In Salzburg,
August suddenly cleared away, after a fortnight
of showers, into a week of golden perfection, to
receive the French Emperor and Empress; and
no sooner had they gone than the clouds gathered
and the rains began again more resolutely than
before. In France, October had been as damp
and dismal as a British February until Francis
.Joseph crossed the frontiers to return the visit
of balzburg, when the sun came out and
the air grew bland. Is this to be taken as
a good omen for the political results of the
new conjunction between the planets of the
Bonaparte and the Hapsburgs? Let us hope so,
at least; for in all matters cog-nimble by ordinary
human wit, the times are otherwise of evil
portent. That Francis Joseph is regarded with a
favorable eye by the Parisians Is undeniable.
Possibly his .popularity may be notably' .
increased by the decided dislike which
the Parisians bear to Prussia. But the Em
peror of Austria has many points in his favor.
lie is rather young, decidedly "distinguished" in
his bearing and appearance, and a capital horse
man. Then. too, the Parisians,,, who are a sytn
-pathetic folk, and fond of the melo-dramatic,
were vastly impressed by the murder of Maxi
milian, and they give his brother the benefit of
this feeling. The Kaiser's straightforward and
m anly acceptance of his new character cf "con
stitutional monarch,' and the very decided
snubbing which ne administered to the Aus
trian bishops in his recent reply to their letter
urging him to maintain the "concordat. " have
also greatly helped him to the good will of the
Parisian public. In short, the Parisian who
cheers Francis Joseph gives himself at one and
the same time several of the pleasantest emotions
which can be excited in a Parisian breast by the
operation of huzzaing. He shows magnanimity
and generosity to a gallant sovereign once the foe
of France in the tented field; he suuba Bismarck
and the King of Prussia; ho indulges his admira—
tion for a good-looking young •horsernan with
wonderful moustaches and wearing a peerlessly
brilliant uniform; and he proclaims hisapproba
tion of liberal principles and a free government.
No other prince whO has visited Paris this year
has been able to offer the Parisians so. many
inducements to treat him civilly; and no
other prince accordingly has had any
such reception us the grand nephew of
Maria Louisa is getting in the capital of the
nephew of Napoleon. Even the absence of the
Austrian Empress falls to diminish the cordiality
with which her husband is welcomed. Not that
the Parisians are not keen-sighted enough to see
through the pretexts offered to account for this
absence ! But the truth is, and it may as well be
told, that the Parisians thoroughly understand
the Empress Eugenie., and as thoroughly don't
admire her. They are quite prepared to forgive
foreign, princesses for keeping themselves aloof
from the imperial lady, so long as in doing so the
said foreign princesses put no open and positive
slight-upon the crown of France. W. H. H.

Rigorous Ren.rch of all' Transatlantic
Ntean►ships—l'oltce and Detectives on
Board the Scotia.
CORK, Oct. 26,1867.—The search of inward and
outward Transatlantic steamers for Fenians has
been renewed by , the police, and a noted Fenian
leader is evidently expected from America.
Upon the arrival of the steamer Scotia off the
harbor of Queenstown, at an early hour yester
day morning, a thorough search was made on
board by the detectives, assisted by a large num
ber of the "royal constabulary," who went out
In the tender for that purpose.
After a detention of above three hours to the
Scotia she was allowed to proceed on her voyage
to Liverpool. The search was fruitless. No ar
rest was made; but I understand that one or two
of the detective force went in her to Liverpool,
but whom they suspected to find we are unable
to say.
A somewhat similar course was pursued upon
the arrival of the National Company's% steamer
Erin, later in the day.
The detective force at Queenstown and Cork
has been greatly augmented within the past
week, for the purpose of searching the outward
and homeward steamers from and to New York,
and placing men on board the steamers while on
their voyage from Queenstown to Liverpool to
keep surveillance over the passengers.

Arrest on a Charge or Forgery in Nash.
vine.
[From the Naohville Press and Times, Nov. 5.]
John M.Kills,formerly a mail contractor under
Postmaster Lindsley, t,nd during the war con
nected with the Quartermaster's Department
here, was arrested yesterday, charged with
having committed heavy forgeries against the
United States Government. The forgeries
alleged were perpetrated just at the close
of the war, and after Kills had been
discharged from the army. They embrace
heavy vouchers for all sorts of stores, forage,
horses, &c.,and with the spurious nature of
Gen. Schell is ,
of the Quartermaster's D artment,
attached. Many of these vouchers fond their
way to Washington lately, and, 0f . ,, course,
excited the astonishment of the Dep tment.

The Paris Exposition.
The paper war which has resulted from the
awards of the Paris Exposition threatens to cast
into the shade the- famous War of the Roses.
First the Pianos and then the Sewing Machines
became involved in a tontest. We have no de
sire to enter into the merits of the question our
selves.: every one practically acquainted with
Sewing Machines knows that all first-class ma
chines have their merits. Nevertheless it is un
doubtedly true that some Sewing Machines have
attained greater perfection than others are more
comprehensive, more, entirely practical, alto
gether better fitted \ for the varied require
ments of useful and \ ornamental sewing; and
the fact that the representative of the Grover
& Baker Sewing lid t thine at the Paris Ex
position was decors d with the Cross of
the Legion of Honor, thus receiving the
highest award in the power of the Commission
to bestow, Is as gratlfyit to American pride as
it unequivocal proof f the recognized supe
riority of the Grover & Baker Machines. The
representative of the Grover & Baker Machines
being placed on the International Jury, the
machines were necessarily excluded from compe
tition; but their vast superiority was delightedly
recognized and acknowledged by conferring upon
him a supreme mark of distinction, of which
only one hundred and fifty were awarded alto
gether, while gold medals were as thick as black
berries. This solves the problem of Paris Expo
sition prizes for Sewing Machines at once and
forever. Whoever received gold medals, only
one Sewing Machine was decorated with the Cross
of the Legion of Honor, and that was the family
favorite—Grover & Baker.—Dentoreses Monthly.

A Loug•Couceuled Murder Divulged.
[From tho Charicoton (8. C.) Now Nov. 8.)
The older portion of the community remember
the mysterioml murder of Lyons, a watchmaker,
who kept a store on East Bay, near the Custom
house. This murder occurred over twenty
years ago, and various surmises were en
tertained sad several persons arrested
at different times on suspicion. The
store was broken open and completely gutted,
while Lyons was murdered in a most barbarous
manner. A jeweler named Flash was suspected
of having committed the crime, and though the
evidence appeared strong, he succeeded in clearly
establishing his innocence. The evidence was
only circumstantial, and several persona
who had been "intimate with 'Lyons were
suspected, some of them having carried
the stigma to the day of their death. Reli
able intelligence recently received from Germany
states that a German named Rappe, formerly a
clerk in a drug-store in this city, was executed
in Hungary for murder. On the scaffold he con
fessed that, among other crimes, he had mur
dered Lyons in order to rob his store. The news
will be extremely gratifying to the old residents
of the city, and especially to those who have been
so long suspected of this crime.
Sudden Death of a Young Man in Chi
cago... Suspicion of Suicide or Foul
Play.
Particulars of a mySterious case have just come
to light. and so far as we have been able to ascer
tain are as follows: A young man, named. Mr. F.
M. Peterson, a kw months since opened a drug
store at No. 312 North avenue. Ip seems that his
business did not succeed as well as he had
expected, and a few days- since he failed, his
assets being reported largely below his liabilities.
This disaster preyed deeply upon his mind, the
more so as it was his second failure within a few
months. He became very low spirited, and rc
lapsert into a state of abject melancholy. On
Saturday evening last he was induced to go to a
dance somewhere.in the vicinity of his residence,
and before leaving, told his wife that he proba
bly would be absent until an early hour in the
morning.
Ou returning In the morning he fOund his wife
and some lady friends waiting up for him. He
appeared to be in improved spirits. After — having
exchanged salutations with his wife and friends,
be poured out some raspberry wine, a glass for
himself and one for each of the ladies. After
chatting a few moments .Ite drank his glass of
wine, the ladies, it, is said, only sipping theirs.
A few minutes after that he retired to rest, and
shortly afterwards:groans were heard proceeding
from his sleeping apartment. Some of the in
mates of the house went to his aid, but in half an
hour he died, suffering great pain.
Nothing more is blown at present concerning
this strange affair, and until a post morte74'exami
nation 'shall have been made, the mystery will not
be cleared up. Some suppose that he poisoned him
self, while others throw out. dark hints of foul
play.—Chicago Journal, of the 7th.
DISASTERS.
[From the Pittsburgh Chronicle, Nov. 8.)
Diststrons Conflagration ---
erant. 011 Refinery Burned---000
Man!-lltarned to Death and Another
. _
Injured.
A tire, moot disastrous in its character and fatal in its
rerulte, occurred last evening between nine and ten
o'clock. at the oil refinery of Messrs. Mac.keown ez Bros .
on the Sharpshurg road. The thITHAS were
not checked until the works had been totally de
stroyed, one man killed, and another ,painfully inured.
How the fire originated is not definitely kuown,but it was
iii st discovered shortly after niue o'clock, near the new
,'patent still." in the stilthotise. In a very few minutes
atter the discovery of the flames the still exploded with
a terrific report, itself and the building in which it
was situated being blown to atoms. The flames imme
diately communicated to the' large wooden building ad
joining. In the lower portion of thin building was situ.
:vied a large receiving tank, containing several hundred
I uncle of oil. The upper portion of the building con
tained the agitator. The etructure was goon all ablaze.
and in about twenty minutes after the first discovery of
the tire, the receiving tank exploded, destroying the build
ille and scattering the streams of burning oil in all direc
tions, The oil from the tank Spread out in a broad sheet
ot flame, covering the ground for a considerable extent,
and thawing in burning etreanis toward the river. The
other buildings on the premises were caught in the rapidly
spreading flames, apd in an Incredibly short space of time
the w hole establishment was in ruins.
Near t e stilthous ,e when the fire broke out. the assistant
foreman of the works, Harry Cook by name, was eating
his hind en. Before he realized thathe was in danger,
the oil f om the bursted still had eurrotinded atim with
dames, a all attempts at escape or rescue were hopeless.
Every exe Bon was made to render him some assistance,
hut the art was around him like a lurnace, and this morn.
in g hie cris ed and blackened corpse was taken from the
ruins. 31r. ok was a young man, and married but re
cently. Th feelings of the wife, so terribly bereaved,
may be into ned. The aeetatsuit of the unfortunate man,
mimed Bed y, was also badly scorched, but his in
mien arc not considered dangerous.
' The works vered something over an acre, and every;
portion wand stroyed. In addition to the tank already
mentioned. several other large tanks, most of them con
taining refined oil, were destroyed. Altogether about fit.
teen hundred hernia of oil were burned. In addition to
the oil, some three thousand empty barrels were de
etroyed, together with two pumps. and all the ma.
chinery of the works. The loss will not fall below
liTyleoo and there is no insurance. Although
many persona •were present at the lire, no attempt
was made to extingueli the flames, as such efforts were
seen to be r tterly hopeless. Only a brick wall separated
the burning promises from the. Standard Oil Refinery' yet.
on ing to the admirable forethought exercised by - Dr.
Tweddle in the building of the works mentioned, they
escaped unscathed. The Standard Works, as we had oc
casion to remark before. are entirely fire-proof, and the
provisions for obtaining water aro so perfect as to make
the assurance of safety still more sure.
