Tlte Geneva correspondent of the London Tiinf.s writes as follows : " I liitve already told yon that the contending parties have neeti general ly congratulated on their happy choice of Umpire. Tito Italian Government deserves the highest etxilit for the ap pointment of th ir representative. They could not have found in the whole euiiisHla gentleman better qualified tor the task imposed upon him than Count Selopis di Snlerano. He is a gentleman highly distinguished both for his proficiency In all legisla tive studies, and for the part he played in the great events which lately chang ed the destinies of his country. J It was one of the statesmen chosen by Charted Albert to draw up a constitu tion tor Piedmont in 1847-8. and was a member of that kiitg's cabinet I believe, as Minister of Justice on the first Installation ot a liberal govern ment. In later days he sat on the right of the Chamber, and subsequent ly of the Senate, during the adminis tration of Count CovQUr, and was, with Count Revel, one of the leaders of the Conservative opposition. Hail it depended on Count Selopis. Pied mont would never have madecomnioti cause with the western allies in the Crimean war of 1814. Italy perliups would never have been united, anil she would certainly never have found her way to Home. As a member of the aristocratic and clerical party, Count Selopis was looked upon assn codliio or reactionist, in Turin. But he was universally respected for his high character, even 1y his most de termined adversaries; and. although his Influence on public affairs consid erably declined, he was relied upon for earnest and enlightened patriotism. Like Massino d'Azegllo, he had no faith in the possibility of an annexa tion and fusion ot the north with the south of Italy ; and, like Count Balbo. he was too strong a Catholic to think that the aspirations of Italy should be allowed to interfere with the impre scriptible rights ot the Holy See. He has been and is one of the most dis tinguished members of the Turin Academy, and has contributed to its essay a valuable work on the 'Diplo matic Relations between the House of Savoy and the English Government from' the Earliest Tunes to the Pence of 18I6V His literary fame, however, chiefly rests on his 'History of Legis lation in Piedmont.' a work of un wearied research, and recommeudable for mature criticism. I believe that hardly any man in Italy has made the science of International law the object of more assiduous pursuit than Count Selopis. The Swiss arbitrator, M. Staenipfli. has been repeatedly at the head of the Federal Government, and his Influence is considered paramount, whether he is the actual president, or whether he fills subordinate offices. The Brazilian arbitrator Is the repre sentative of the Emperor of Hrazil in Paris, and is conspicuous among the diplomatists of his country. The im pression among the persons I have here conversed with is tlutt the whole controversy belore the tribunals will be carried on by writing, and all the ! arbitrators are sufficiently conversat.t 1 with the English language to under- stand thoroughly what they read, j Wei the occasion for oral discussion : to arise, it Is possible that some Of the j arbitrators might be unable to follow i the orators if they spoke English, but f both the English and American coui j misslouers would be able to use French ; as freely as their own native idiom. The Lord ( luel .lustice, as you are j I aware, is fully as eloquent in ouelang-! liajre as in the oilier ; and the sr.nte. 1 ' believe, may be asserted of his Ameri- can colleague A Georgia paper tells a good story of one of the candidates for county slier ill" in that State. The candidate, a physician, lately stopped to talk with a man who, with his t wo daugh ters, was pulling fodder, and the doc tor, in order to keep alongside of him. commenced pulling the fodder in the row he was walking in. When he had fairly got settled down to it, the farm- : er says : " Excuse me a minute while I I step over to the house you ju-t i knock along with the girls here." and he left. At Ibis the girls made the (odder Hy, going down the rows in double-quick time. The doctor man fully went in. hand overhand, shucked his coat and did his level best. He panted, lie sweated, and yet he shoved along under the broiling sun. while the tanner was in his piazza with bis pipe lit, taking it cool and laughing in his sleeve. In about an hour be went out to the Held and released the doctor. They say the doctor never hinted "sheriff" to him. but jerked up his coat and left ; and now he don't go in fodder fields for votes lie dodges 'em. The women vote in Kansas at school meetinss. and ft is reported that "the I men vote just as their wives do." The PelUfonrr'H Appeal. Judge Chaw not Salmon P., but another. Jotham T.. of Nea- Hamp shire tells a good story of his own experience in the Western wilds. It was years ago. and the judge was at the time a member of Congress and during a vacation he went West to visit friends anil relatives who had re moved thither. Upon his arrival he found an old-timeneipialntance engag ed as plaintiff in an important lawsuit, and seeing the justice of his friend's case, he volunteered to take his part in court. It was in a frontier town, and the surroundings were primitive in the extreme. To an Intelligent jury the case could really have had but one Side. Tlic defendant was a bush whacking Hoosler, and had not only violated a solemn and legal contract 'o the great injury of the plaintiff, but he had embezzled funds which had been intrusted to his care, and be hail also disposed of property not his own, and appropriated the proceeds. Judge Chase entered upon the case with assurance. The jury were rough bred Hooslers,but they looked like hon est men. and he would enlighten them. He explained to them how plain anil Inst was the claim of bis client, and In the course of his remarks he refer red several times to the Common Law. When he had concluded he felt that his client was safe and sure. How could it he otherwise? He did not know the temper of the Hoosler jury ; but the pettifogger did; and the, judge's strong fabric of legal lore and common-sense was to lie de molished off-hand. The frontier law yer, uncombed and unkempt, arose with a flourish and a whoop. "Gentlemen of the Jury," he cried. cM-n.iiiimr hij loon hnnr ncin tmcniil "he sprucely dressed Congressional dignitary, "who Is this man that comes here to cram the Common Law of En glend down our throats. What do we want of English law, any way. and if we dn have it, why does be give us the common kind. Tlie Common Law of England! Why don't lie give us the bbttt But we don't want English law at till not a bit of it. An't we got law enough ot our own here in In jeany? Why didn't the gentleman give us a touch o' that? Ill tell ye why he didn't do it. He know'd very well that our Injeany law would he death to Ins case. And so be thinks to fool you with English law. Good Heavens! what did onr forefathers otthe Revolution fight for? Didn't they tight didn't they spend their last dollar, and spill their lastdropof blood just to cut clear of the mean, con temptible, aristocratic law of old John Mull ? and now the gentleman thinks that be can shove the rotten old stuff down onr throats whether we will or no. Gentlemen ot the jury, lie it yours to show him how far he can play his sawder and nonsense, on the intelli gent and patriotic twelve loyal Injeany citizens w hat have the interests of my client at stake ! Kitijlink Law I Bah! WedonH m " The jury remembered the story of the fathers: of the itevoiutioii, ami they gave the defendant his case with unhesitating unanimity. C. A Smart Doo. A few days ago a gentleman named Xeedham went to the River Lea to bathe, taking with him a favorite retriever dog. and hay ing undressed himself, deposited his clothes, containing a valuable gold watch and a considerable sum in mon ey, on the bank, leaving them in charge of the dog. with injunctions to mind them. This he did too faithfully to be pleasant, tor Mr. Needham, having had his bath.emeiged from the water, and advanced toward his clothes with the intention of dressing himself, which the dog. which was a young one. and did hot recognize his master without clothes, would by no means permit, and resisted nil his attempts to possess himself of them. In this dilemma Mr. Needhnmretnrnedtothe water, and by dint of repeated whistling and calling to the dog, tit length coaxed him to leave his cnarge and go to him. but no sooner bad the dog left the clothes than some men, wlm must have been lurking near, and witnessed what has been described between the dog and his master, pounced upon the clothes and ran otf with then). Mr. Needham shouted to them to come hack, but ol course with .otit avail, and situated as he was he could not pursue them ; so there was nothing for him but to remain where lie was. which he did till some boat ing men came by, to whom he related what had occurred, and they, taking compassion upon his unfortunate pre dicament, kindly lent him a pair of boating trousers and coat, with which be was enabled to reach home; but up to the present time be has not been able to discover anything of his miss ing property. iowto Telegraph.

An old lady IwthingatLong Branch with Iter spectacles ou, but not her wig. wa taken for Mr. Greeley, ami drew a great crowd. A Scotch gentleman says : "There are few people like ourns. should think not, Indeed, nor scalds, eitlier ! Tlie sweetest toned bell Is (lie church going ladle. Her voice leadeth many an nnregenerate young man to tin sanctuary instead of the saloon. said a litre old lady the Other day to a morning caller : "Pray make your self at home ; I'm at home myself, and wish you were, too." Ciinandaigua is the place wlwre it gentle red-haired youth stepped info a grocery and Inquired the price of "them baimnles." On being told that, they were' sugar-cured hams he went on his way whistling "Carry the news to Mary." Not bad is this remark of a pastor : "Two-thirds of the members of my church are honorary fnemberi, The don't come to prayer meeting; they don't add to the life of the church : they are passengers on the gospel ship; they bear no burden, add no strength : their names are on onrlmoks; they are honorary members." ldshonomry. rather. A New Hampshire paper says : "A man from Loudon Centre started last Friday with a load of hay for Concord; and his wife advised him not to smoke a pipe on the way, but be only laugh ed at her. Pretty soon he came hack with most of his clothes gone, his hair and eyebrows singed, and tlie iron work ot his cart in a bag on his sliocl der. Then his wife laughed." A good story is told of a College President, who. meeting on the Cart It student whose character for sobriety was not good, and whose then appear ance evinced a recent dehauehe, ap proached him and solemnly and re gretfully said : 'Been on it drunk:-" So have I,' was the Immediate reply. A Scotchman, observing that the once white linen of one of bis employ ees had. through long absence of soap anil water, become a hazy black. In quired, as a prelude to a homily, on cleanliness, how often he had his shirt washed. "Once a month." was the reply. "Why, I require two shirts a week." "Twa sarks in a week !' ejaculated Robbie; "ye maun be a dirty deevil!" During the Clay and Polk campaign, the love which Hon. Walter Brooke, of Mississippi, bore for the great Kentnok ian led liim to bet a pair of matched lioises, all the stock he had, on the re sult; and this though a strict member of the Presbyterian church. Of course he lost, and of course be was "church ed" for gaining. "All we ask of you. Mr. Brooke," said the mlnister.during the trial, "is to ackcowledge that yon are sorry, and promise to sin no more.'' "Sorry ?" asked Mr. Brooke, rising from bis seat with an air of in jured innocence; "sorry? My dear brother, when I think of those beauti ful Imys. gone from my gaze forever, I can "truly say, with my hand upon my heart, that no transaction of my lite gives mo more genuine sorrow than this." A curate complained to old Dr, Ruth Hint he received only five pounds tot preaching a certain sermon at Oxford. "Five pounds!" said the doctor; "why I wouldn't have preached that sermon for fifty!" When Handel once undertook. In a crowded church, to play the dismiss al ou a very fine organ there, the whole congregation became so entran ced with delight, that not an individual could stir, till at length the usual or ganist came impatiently forward and took his seat saying, in a tone of ac knowledged superiority : "You can not dismiss a congregation. See how 1 can disperse them. "Sur." said an Irish philologist to an anxious Inquirer, "there Is no slang In the collokial expression of my country men.
