to acquire any real importance. All the rivers of
Piedmont are in a higher or lower degree t.ke tor
rn:a, and the atieaina r.aiu in the Appeal.. es are
of the aame nature : not one of them can aerve
f am liu of defense. The rivers of Lombard)-,
nn the uontrarv, having n longer course, and pul
ing through deep lakes, lose a part of their rapidi
ty, flow in wider beda, and have a volume of wu-
, ter that createa avrioua obstacles. The navigable
canals and those for irrigation, ao very numerous
in the Milanese d.atriet, form artificial lines that
. M.netimea have a value equal to that of rivers
The battle of Areola and Lodi, in 1796, have
4 proved that these d.fGculiies can only be triumphed
- over at the coat of heroic effirl.
Whilst Piedmont poaaesnea between the Alpi
and the Tieiuo merely currents of water eonvei g
; log toward the plain of Alesaainlriu, we find, on
; the cont'ary, in the mre favored duchies of Mi
Ian and Venice a aeriea of rivera all running from
north to south, perpendicularly to the inarch of ar
mies, and which debouch, aome into the Pu, othera
. into the Adriatic. Nearly all of them are of an
Identical nature s mere torrents nar th mounta n
gorgea, they aubaequcntly traverse a country more
f pervious for arm es, and form lakea on their reach
ing the plain, which they fertilize by their nunier-
, ouaannleta; than, whilst constantly slackening
the r speed, they surround themaelves near their
rasalha with van marshes, where rice is abundant
ly grown, but which contribute lo render these
tiacta aguish and unhealthy. W everywhere
meet iu th a country with canals, hedges, gardens,
" and tinea, all of which form a broken ground moat
fjvnrab'e for defensive operaliona. Owing to this
characteristic of the soil, the reader wdl not be
surprised lo learn that th proport on of cavalry,
usually a fifth or a nh iu arm.es doatiued lo act u

those which have to operate in Lombard y.

Jtri Mr. Jmnev Torter, reputed the lull-
est niun in tlio world, died in Louisville on
Moiiilny. He was tertn fret nine inrhtt in
heiglit, and, when in perfect health, weigh
ed near three hundred pound-. At the age
of keventeen, being smaller than ordinary,
he fairly began to grow. Measuring him
self every Saturday night, lie found in one
week that lie had added an inch to his vtut
nre. A cooper by profession, he toon be
came too tall to work upon barrels, and wus
presently obliged to give up even hogshead
and become t huek-driver. Iu the ream
1830-7 he came East and appeared on the
stage in one or two pieces written especial
ly for him. lie returned to Louisville, and
a few years later bought the coffee house
which he was keeping at the time of his
death. The Louisville Courier, from which
wo glean these facts, recalls tho following
anecdote.
" At the timo that Charles Dickens came
to this country, tiiere wus a perfect furor to
see ' lioi: As lie passed throui'li the ca
nal tit Louisville, lie sent u messenger to
Mr. Porter, of whose remarkable propor
tions he had heard, intimatintr a wish to see
him. Mr. Porter replied to the mcssenircr:
If Mr. Dickens wishes to see tne more than
to see him, he will come to tne.' Mr.
Dickens took thu hint, und it was during the
coiitrrstition tlmt Porter told the novelist
that, while he was growing, his mother had
sow a foot on Ins pantaloons every
it."
The Cuiec Justice of Kansas. A
correspondent of the New York Evening
Post gives a graphic description of John
Pettit, of Indiana, the newly appointed
Judge for Kansas Territory:
"Judge Pettit's appearance is singularly
judicial. II is height is medium, but his
proportions are immense; so large, in fact,
that ho is obliged to pull oil
ever he rises from his sent,
shaven countenance wears
cions deference. A well
balJness flows from the
two accurate shores of hair, and dia-htiru-es
itself into the broad bay of his face. Gold
spectacles, raiment of the glossiest and most
cgaiit black, und linen ot the exuetest out-
ne, complete a tout ememblt well calculated
to excite awe in the ignorant and aduiirut.ou
the intelligent.
I wondered why Old Bullion called him
on the floor of Congress ' D. D.' or ' Dirty
Hog!' there must huve been a most mar-
llous change, for now, surely, if dog at
all, he is a most snug, smooth, and cleanly
dog. Apparently, his only objectionable
habit is the outing of immense quantities of
tobacco, which is nn epidemic ninoiig Kan
sas officials. 'John Pettit, Dirty Dog!'
but my wonder was of short duration. His
private conversation is a pudding of oaths
and obscenity. No matter how slight or
recent the acquaintance, of what sentiment
or culling, he belches out an unlii'ok.m tor
rent of blasphemy and filth, never yielding
the customary tribute of reserve to the con
ceded rights or presumed prejudices of to
tal strangers."
Joseph Parks, for a long time the
head man of the Kansas Shuwiiees, died
enrly last April, and was buried nt Shaw
nee on the 5th, with Masonic ceremonies.
Many whites and Indians were present nt
the obsequies, and before the body was
lowered into the grave an nged Shnwnec
woman addressed her people in their own
tongue, saying:
" There lays the last of our best friend
here, my people. He's gone! No more
will he lead and advise us. We have no
head man now. Like forest leaves on the
frozen ground, we will lie blown about by
every wind of winter. Who will be to us
what he wos?"
A New Comet. James C. Watson, of
Ann Arbor, communicates the following to
the Detroit Advertiser, on the 22d April:
" I have the pleasure to inform you that
I discovered a new comet at 9 o'clock this
cveninir, near the star numbered 17 in the
constellation Lynx. Its right ascension is
6 hours 58 minutes and 30 seconds, and its
declination 60 degrees and 57 minutes
north. It has a tail about a quarter of a
degree in length, and the nucleus is as
bright as a star of the eleventh magnitude.
The observations mode this evening show
that it is moving west about two degrees,
and south one degree and fifty minutes,
daily."
Oca Navt. The New Tork Evening
Post concludes a long article on the Navy
as follows:
" It is very plain to be seen that the reign
of canvas in naval vessels outrht to be well
nigh over. It has been practically proved
thnt a steamer or moderate gtje say 600
tons burthen carrying about 2;j0 hands,
all told, can make three years' crnise, al
ways steaming, at sea, attended by less ex
pense than a wiling frigate, not to mention
the immeasurable superiority in the quali

' (filllizetl for (liseoViTillj; the ftotirc'O of the
Nile. The expedition is conducted by M.
Minni, a Veuitian, who has inhabited Cairo
for the lust ten years. He is a member of
the Geographical Society of Pur is, and the
author of a map of the Valley of the Nile.
He has car fully studied the various difficul
ties attending hi perilous enterprise. He
camo to France two months since to com
plete the material und prrmnnrl of his ex
100 flint mulcts and 3 000 L.ridg., to
Alexandria. Ihe expedition is composed
of the Parisian painter, Dumas; Captain!
sel, of Avignon, secretary to the expedition;
a physician, a naturalist, and a chemist who
are now in Lgypt. Ihe expedition will
fix its head quarters at Chnrtoum, in Up
per Egypt, a town in which ubout twelve
natives of Marseilles or Genoa reside. M.
Minni is supplied with a formidable materi
ft, and his escort is to be numerous. He
takes with him a quantity of French trin
kets to present to the chiefs of Arab tribes,
or to Africau princes, or for traffic. M.
Miaui's expedition has a double character
lirs' t scientific, and next commercial. M.
Minni has already contracted with mer
chants in Paris for the delivery of elephants'
teeth, gold dust, copper, coral, indigo, lion,.
puuthcr, leopard, and tiger skins, which
are of greot value iu Paris. The members
of the Minni expedition are armed with
Mime rifles, which kill at 1,000 vnrds, and
with cibcr similar to those of the Chas
seurs of Vincenus, which fit to the rifles.
They are likewise furnished with cuirasses
and mctaliu musks, to protect tliem from
tlte bite of poisonous insects. They carry
with them likewise a supply of frightful
masks calculated to frighten the most
savage tribes. lite members of tlte
expedition, who will feed themselves as they
can, and chiefly by the chase, will traverse
JCubin, Sennnr, and Abyssinia. They ex-
pectto gofnr beyond the Equator, and to

Cost of an Election in England.
Alluding to the dissolution of Parliament
nnd the election which will follow it, tho
London correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American says:
" It is calculated that tho general elec
tion will entail an expenditure of $10,000,
000, und the London tradesmen who depend
on the London season for their harvest will
be half ruined.
Depending upon a pro-;
longed, as well as full season, the stocks
laid in are both heavy and expensive, and
at the moment the expectant shopkeepers
are prepared to exhibit articles of luxury
and magnificence to their customers, those
customers are scouring over tho country,
practising humble bows, dry-washing their
bunds, getting up bland smiles, and inward
ly cursing the clodpoles whose 'sweet voic
es' they are trying to win."

He Didn't Read the PArERS. In the
trial of the Doyan Brothers recently in
Michigan for murder, much difficulty was
experienced in obtaining a jury free from
prejudice. At Inst, after a lurgo number
had been rejected, a man from tho buck
part of the country was called, who, In re
sponse to the question propounded, said
and
ject to your sitting on the jury in this case;
a man that don't tuke n paptr, and never
heard of this brutal murder, don't know
enough to be a juryman! We don't want
you!"
Seeino His Name in Print. The most
remarkable instance of a love of notoriety
with which we have ever met, was that of
a man who, under tho laws of Virginia, in
the olden times was ndvertised by tlio Sher
iff of Fuuqier couuty to be sold on a ccrtuin
day as a vagrant. So pleased was ho with
a Bight of his name for the first time in print,
that he procured a copy of the newspaper
containing tho advertisement of his sale,
und carried it ten days through the country
showing it, with evident satisfaction, to all
hi friends and acquaintances.

It is no boon to the human ruce. to have
their dim and shadowy conceptions of that
mysterious bourne profaned und vulgarised
by these travelers' returns. If these are
the fruits of knowledge, let us pray for a
little blessed ignorance. The world is nl
wuys ready enough to receive any truth
which commends itself to its better instincts.
Men arc willing enough to believe, but
reasonably require, us a condition prece
dent, that the doctrine shall bo worth be
lieving. They cunnot reverence what is
poor and vulgar, and they will not respect
that which is not respectable. All these
spiritual revelations, from Jackson Davis to
Cora L. V. Hatch, contain 110 new spirit
ual or moral truth that is of any value.

Woman's VinriK licit Sire Puuikction.
Mr. Ould, the prosecuting attorney hi
the late triul of Daniel E. Sickles, uttertd
tho following noble sentiments:
" Standing here, not as n public pros
ecutor, but us a private citizen, I, on tlte
part of the people of this District, denounce
tho doctrine that tho protection ot the
wife's or the sister's virtue is to be found hi
tho husband's or brother's revolver. It
may do for other countries, for other climrs,
and for other religions where tho law of
force as applied to woman is carried out in
ull its violence and wrong. But in a Chris
tian community, w hero woman is ennobled
and dignified, ami elevated by Christian
law and Christum rule, the true anil only
protection to female chastity is to be found
in woman's own virtue, and in her own
diameter. Tlio flash of woman's virtue) il
us quick as God's lightning, and us sure
fur mora effectual is it for silencing seducers
or revelers 111 liceuliouuess, thun a Der
ringer or a revolver. Every pure woman
necessarily, and by tho gilt of God, in
Cliristiun communities, carries thnt weawou
along with her. . There is 110 seducer, no
villum, I care not from whence he comes,
or how ho may have trained himself iu the
arts of seduction, who does resist the show
ing of thnt weapon for one solitary instant.
I thunk God tlmt the matrons nnd maids
of our land havo a surer protection tliati
the pistol or the bowie-knife. Sad, indued,
would be their fute, if it were not no. If
it were not so, one half of this whole com
munity would not use a weapon, and the
other half would use it wrongfully and itu
properly. The spirit of virtue which God
has implanted iu the woninn's heart, tells
her, as if by the flush of lightning, whut
are tho Intentions toward Iter of a man,
whether honorable or dishonorable; and
she has but to use, fur one moment, this gift
which God, in his benevolence und bounty,
has given her, for the purpose of silencing '
and stifling, not in death, but in shnine to
the proposer,' every offer that would imply
the slightest touch of contamination or of
insult. It is found everywhere. It is a
circle of dory which adorns the female
now, and sheds its blessed and happy light
ul.ke 011 the hovel and on tho palace. It
stands there as the protector of tho wife,
though tho husband may bo on distant scus,
far away from home with his protecting
arm. It is there, ready to resist at a
moment, and to resist effectually, the ad
vance of every slimy reprobate, who, under
the guise whether of friendship or fruud,
walks into the house, of purity for the pur
pose of defiling one of its inmates. Tho
very moment you tiring the law ol lorce lor
the purpose of protecting; female honor,
that moment you sacrifice ictnalj honor.
If it is to be protected by tho sword, tho
nile, or tho pistol, it is unworthy ot pro-
ection. Unless it bo that God-eniioliltiig
uohilitv in and of itself, and unless it exist '
of itself, nnd for itself, it is unworthy to bo
cherished or known. Tho history of tlio
orld in past times had shown thut to be
true. Go back as fur as you please, and
traeo history front the earliest dates down
to the present examine all the eras and
II peoples, and you will linil tlmt it stands
out on the pages of history, ut till times and
throughout each 0110 of its lustres, as thu
fixed and recorded truth, that wherever
oman lias been left ulone to tho vindica
tion of her own virtue, and wherever matt
has kept tho coutiiiuiiiatiiig hand of vio-
uce from her, she has risen in In r purity,
God-eiinohlcd and self-vintliciited. Tito
rent God of IU'tivcii has laid his hand
with consecration und blessing ou tho fuir
cad of virtue, and when the virtuous wo
man ceases to be her own protector and her
own guardiun, by forco of the power which
God lias given to her, she and her virtue
both sink into the dust, mid in its stead
rises the crest of murder and of violence,
of wrong and of debauchery."
Beware or Office. When a wild iinl-
nuil onco tastes human flesh, nothing can
ever after, Buys Buffon, dissuade him from
htimtin slaughter. When a politician onco
obtains a public office, no persuasion can
ver induce htm to go to woik at anything
ut a nomination for unotlter and another,
uring the term of his natural existence.
If you want to spoil a good citizen for
n years, secure him a berth iu tho Custom
IlotiaO. He will never bo socially a well
man afterward. Send him to Congress and
you ruin him for life, lie may carry around
lacards and tickets at tho polls, accept a
subordinate situation in tlio police, or run
rrands for the doorkeeper of u political
meeting-house, but he will never have inde-
lendenee enough to emancipate himself
om his morbid appetite for the "spoils,"
and go to work like an honest man nnd u
Christian.
