In his speech at the 'Cooper Institute the other night, 'among other wise things, he said that his hearers had one thing in their power, and he hoped they would do it. He wanted every Fepian within the the sound of his voice, and every Irishman who should read of this meeting, to go down to - the house of 'the English Consul and groan at the British flag flying at the roof. He wanted the Fenians of Washington to sur round the residence of the British 'Minister and groan at him and at the flag of England, until that dignitary should comprehend 'that there was a party in the United States who desired'the liberation 'of the Fenian prison ers, and were determined to have it. Mr. Longfellow in Florence,. The Florence correspondent of the Lon don NeiCB, describing the funeral service in that city in memory of Rossini, tells this story of a compliment to Henry W. Long fellow: "The service finished at about one o'clock. As I left the church, and while standing on the flight of steps, before descending into the-Santa Croce square my attention was arrested by the singularly engaging and in telligent countenance of one who had like wise been present to hear the Requiem. A gentleman perhaps some sixty years of age, with silvery locks and beard, accompanied, by,a lady, a youth, and' two young girls, was gazing from the topmost step.. on the crowd in the square as it flowed onivards past the statue of Dante. Whilst watching with curiosity, the human stream before him, he was himielr an object of keen, un disguised, yet respected interest to a party of young Angle Italian girls only' a few steps off. I could overhear one saying to the rest, 'I am sure it must be he, he is so like the prints.' At length one of the young girls drew near to the , lady accompa-, nying the silver-haired stranger, and said, 'Pray excuse the liberty, but is not that Mr. Longfellow? "To be sure it is," was the reply. 'Oh, I am so happly I have seen him!' was the instant and spontanthus ex clamation; 'that really is a treat; that is worth a great deal more than the Requiem.' The young Anglo-Italian then retreated to rejoin her own party, but her remarks had been communicated to both the American pdet and to the two girls whom he was hold ing by the hand, and with a charming frank ness they all came forward and spoke a few words of natural and simple courtesy; there was also a kind shake of the hand, facts which I have little doubt will, throughout the whole lives of those to whom they were addressed, lend a sweeter perfume to the verse of Evangeline andlliawatlia." TILE CIINEsE_ns CALLFou,Nu.—A case has arisen in California under the civil rights act and the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, involving the rights of. Chinese residents. A soldier was arrested for stabbing a Chinese, and the latter was offered as a witness at the trial. A.fterargu-, ment,,the Judge, under the California , stat ute, rejected him as a witness, holding that' the civil rights act does not apply r to foreign born residents and that the amendment re fers only to the rights of citizens. Fortu nately, there were white witness's of the assault who were, examined, so that there was no failure of justice. HoWever,sephins difficulties . will arise when China complains ' to the' :United States, that the. Asiatics in 'California are not protected by an appeal to the law'when the injured party is the prin cipal or only witness.
