P,, with that- repugnance to ostentation in dress which is no peculiar to her sex, waa attired in a simple white lace collar, fastened with a neat pearl button solitaire. The contrast between the sparkling vivacity of .her natural optic and the steadfast atten tiveness of her placid glass eyes, was the subject of general and enthusiastic remark. The radiant and sylph dike Mrs. T., late of your State, wore hoops. She showed to good advantage, and created a sensation wherever she appeared. Miss C. L.

Hungary taught the world a lesson, wnen, for eighteen years, she remained quiet and im movable, yielding neither to menaces nor blandish ments, but standing simply on her rights, and await ing calmly their recognition. There waa in this ex pectant attitude an aver present sense of danger, from which Austria has finally been compelled to relieve herself by conceding to Hungary all, or nearly all, that she has ever demanded. The signal success which has thus been aohlsved by the Hungarians, has incited the people at Yenetta to follow their example. They silently submit to the presence of Austrian troop# in their midst, but as carefully avoid all social contact with them. They pey, without u murmur, such taxes as are imposed upon them. They indulge In no threats; they obey no order* other than those that can l^ally be enforced. They are oontent. simply, to endure and " bid* their time.” But a few months ago Austria issued a proc lamation of amnesty to such Venetians aa left the prov ince and joined the army of Italy during the war which closed with the treaty of Villa Trance. But the Venetian patriots had no confidence in Austrian promises and prudently kept aloof. On the approach of the recent Carnival season, which was ushered In with feasting, dancing and masquerading at Home, Venice waa almdet literally "the silent city by the ” The few Venetian families of eminence who still reside there shnt themselves up in their houses, and none of the preparations that custom sanc tioned In other eities ware made by the municipality to provide for the enjoyment of the populace. There was to be no dancing for the Veneciana in the pres ence of the hated Tedeachi. Austria, however, de termined otherwise. It would be an affront to her paternal role If the gay season warn marked by sol emn visages. The people mnet be amused, and to the end that there might, at least, be the semblance of enjoyment, the Imperial authorities demanded of the municlpality-of. Venice % subsidy to he appropriated to the getting up a grand mask ball at the San Bene detto Theatre- The mUhifipaUty met, talked over tbs matter, and in the name of their Podeeta’ or Chief Magiitrate, Count Bern bo, refuted to Tote a single florin. General Toggenburg, the Imperial Comman dant, reported the refusal to Vienna. An order cams beck directing, him to Insist, on obedience. Count Bembo Was forthwith summoned to appear before the Imperial Lieutenant. In the Interview that auo- oeeded, tbe Podesta waa enjoined to cause the municipality to provide at one* tba sum of six thousand florins for the uses of the thea tre, under the threat that if this waa not done all fur ther collection of the municipal tax on wine and oil would be prohibited. Count Bembo quietly reaffirm ed the refusal of the municipality to grant the subsi dy. Toggenburg grew hasted and charged the Podes ta and the members of the municipality with being factious; whereupon the Podesta retired, and, at a late hour on the .same day, wrote the following letter of resignation:, To GEWKsafo'Daeammuttok:- Sir—I called on you to-day with a view of proposing aoma mode of arranging this vexatious case of the theatre. The duties of my position forced me tb do *0. Your Excellency chose to carry the disouaskm Into quite different grounds, and permitted yourself to us* words SO exasperating that neither my honor,, my character, nor my education oould endure it. I beg to resign into your hand* my commission as Podestto* Venice. Bimbo. Accompanying ths letter was another oonveying the resignation of the entire municipality. At Padua/ths second city of importance In Venetia, the same orders were reasived ana were followed by the same results. At tbe last advices Toggenburg had two cl ties with out municipal governments on his hands, and was searching In vain for respectable Italians to take the place* of those who had resigned, well knowing that to fill them with Austrian protogea would only make ths matter worse. What has happened since, of course, we do not know. If the San Benedetto theatre was thrown open and the grand masked hail came off, It moat have beet* solely under Austrian management, ifnptrt th# expense of tho Austria# exchequer, end where the' Austrians gather, the Italian people are found—missing. Yet what can the Kaiser do 1—Balti more Gazette. 1 Dlionkr in Memphis. The Memphis Argus has the following: On the 20th of February Charles Heard, Joaiah Foster and a Mr. Basham, citizens of Crawford County, Arkansas, were murdered about six mile* from Johnson’s Station, in Choctaw Nation.. It appears, from what could bees- certained, that Heard and Basham were klHad while asleep, their skull* being split open with an axe, in the tent, as they were found lying on their beds. Foster, it appears, was awakened, and attempted to make his escape, when he waa knocked down and killed. I^ie tent waa set fire to and burned down over the bodies of Heard, and Basham. They had consid erable money with them on their way to Texas, and had two negroes .with them. It it supposed they war* the perpetrators. They were seen toe next day not far from ths place, with Mr. Heard’s buggy, their way towards Texas.

The Siamese Twins Outdone.—Two negro children are now on exhibition at Raleigh, North Carolina, that excite much curiosity.

The connection begins be low tbe neck and terminate at the extremity of the spine. To touch one at any point of her body below tbe connection sends a sensation to the brain of each; while a touch of either above the connection is felt by that one only.

(From to* Maoon Messenger.] The Southern Dead. j A Colombo*! lady tends ns toe following from to* Enquirer of that city, with the request to use our in fluence in the furtherance of toe object pro; posed. We can do this no more effectually than by copying the communications she encloses: THE GRAVES OF THE SOLDIERS. Editor Enquirer : The ladies are now and hava been for several days, engaged in the sad but pleasant duty of ornamenting and improving that portion of the city cemetery sacred to the memory of our gallant Confederate dead; but we feel it an unfinished work unless a day be set apart annually for ita es pecial attention. We cannot raise monumental shaft* and inscribe thereon their many deeds of heroism, but we can keep alive the memory of toe debt we owe them by dedicating at least one day in each year to embellishing their bumble graves with flowers.— Therefore,-w* beg the - assistance of the . press, and the ladies throughout toe sooth, to aid u* In our efforts to set apart a certain day, to be observed from toe - Potomac to toe Rio Grande, and be handed down through time, aa a re ligions custom of the country, to wreathe the grave* of our martyred dead with flowers. (We would pro pose toe 6th of April, as at that time our land might be truly called “the laad of flowers.”) Let every city, town and village join in the pleasant duty. Let all be alike remembered, from toe heroes of Menus*, to toooe who expired amid toe death throe* of oar hal lowed cause. We’ll crows alike tbe honored resting places of to* Immortal Jackson, in Virginia, Johnston of Shiloh, Cleburne, In Tennessee, and toe boat at gallant private* Who adorned our ranks. All did their duty, and to all we owe our gratitude. “ Let toe soldiers’ graves, for that day at least, be the southern Mecca, to whose shrine her sorrowing women, like pilgrims, may annually bring their grateful hearts sad floral offerings. And when wn remember the thousands who were buried ” with their martial cloaks around them," without Christian ceremony of interment for toair beloved bodies, wo would invoke the aid of toe most thrilling elo quence throughout the land to inaugurate this custom, by delivering on toe appointed day, thia year, an eulogy on toe nnbnrled dead of our glo rious southern army. They died for their country 1 Whatoer toair country had, or had not, th* right to demand toe sacrifice, la no longer a question of dis cussion with us. We leave that for future nations to decide. That It waa demanded—^that they nobly re sponded and fell holy sacrifice* on their country’s al tar, and are thoreby entitled to their country’s grati tude—none will deny. The proud banner under which they rallied in defence of toe nobleat cans* for which ' is rose and fought, or trusting woman prayed hae >een furled forever, the country for which they suf fered and died has now no name or place among the nations of the earth. Legislature enactments may not now be made to do honor to their memories, but tbs veriest radical that aver traced his genealogy back to toe deck of toe May Flower could not deny ns to* eim- llege of paying honor to those who died de toe life-honor and happiness of the .
