AH the sovereigns, says Girardin, are in Paris or coming, except Liberty. - An Italian poet has written a poem of nine hundred lines on strawberries. , A party of Swiss laborers has arrived in Lynchburg, Va., and more are coming. In a recent proclamation. Governor Brownlow describes a murder as having " large hair." St. Petersburg telegram states that the river Neva was still frozen

over at the commencement of June. The Parisians spend 153,000,000 Irancs annually lor beet and mutton, 95,000,000 for bread, and 202,000.000 for wine and beer. Whenever a President of the United States visits Boston, Harvard College invariably, we believe, confers an honorary degree upon the incumbent of the office. lion. Henry Wilson has been invited and is expected to deliver the oration before the literary societies of Amherst College during Commencement week the second in July. "Steel your heart," said, a considerate father to his son,' " for you are now going among fascinating girls. ' I would rather steal . theirs ' said the unpromising young man." "I believe that mine will be the fate of Abel," said a wife to her husband one day. 4 Why so?" inquired the husband.' ' "Because Abel . was killed by a club, and your club will kill me if you continue to go to it every night. "I can't find bread for my family," said a lazy man in company. "Nor I," said an industrious fellow; "I am obliged to work for it." A gentleman once asked a little girl, an only child, how many sisters she had,- and was -told 1 "three or , four. Her mother asked Mary, when they were alone, what had induced her to tell such an untruth. ' Why, mamma," cried Mary, "! didn't want him to think you were so poor that you hadn't but one child." . .....it s I Af a -funeral in Brooklyn, last Monday, the mourners quarreled over the merits of the deceased; from words they came to biut, wu uiows to stabs, then the fight became general, and sticks, whips, stones, and knives were employed, to the wounding of fourteen persons, four ot them seriously. AdolpU Rosenthal, the Prussian Consul for Milwaukee, has just com pleted a long and elaborate report for the 'year 18CG, exhibiting the population, prosperity and resources of

Wisconsin, and its advantages as a State for settlement from abroad. The report is official and will be published by the Prussian Government in its official journal The tide of emigration has once more set in in the iron and coal districts of South Wales, and hundreds have already left and many more are preparing to follow. As was the case in 1805 and 1SGG, fully eighty-five to ninety per cent, of the emigrants are ' .bound fur the United States, and the remainder are distributed over the various British colonies. The city of Minneapolis is increasing in population and business very rapidly. Several hundred new buildings will be erected this season. The daily Chronicle and weekly Atlas have consolidated, and a new daily will be issued under the name of the Minneapolis Tribune, and promises to be a , . leading paper of the State. The Attorney General of Pennsylvania has written an elaborate opinion, declaring the lottery scheme au

thorized by the Legislature of that State for the benefit of the Gettys burg Soldiers' Asylum, to be illegal, Criminal and demoralizing in its characte: Col. Forney writes from London that he finds traveling by the under ground railroad exceedingly acreeable ; the carriages are at least as good as those that course through . the nnrer air. are beautifully lighted with cas. and as the engines condense their steam, and use coke instead of coal, .Ahere.ii little escape ox-smoke or va por.

In the days of the Patriarchs, a woman's conduct wast the index of her heart. When, for"example,'the

father of Rebekah asked her if she would go with the servant " of Isaac, she replied at once. " I will go. Had she been a daughter of the nineteenth century, she would have answered, " Oh pshaw, go with him? Mr, IsaaJ must be sick. Of course I won't!" And then she would have gone with him. The Tnrn of Life. Between the years of forty and sixty, a man who has properly reg ulated himself, .may be, considered in the prime of life.5- His matured strength of constitution renders him almost impervious to the attack of disease, ; and; experience - has given soundness to his judgment. His mind is resolute, firm and ' equal ; all his functions are in the highest order; ne, assumes mastery over ...business; builds up a competence on the foun dation he has formed- in early man hood, and passes through a period of life attended by many gratifications. Having gone a yearwr two past sixty, he arrives at a stand still. But athwart this is a viaduct, called the turn of life, which, if crossed in safe ty, leads to the valley . of " old age," round which the river winds, and then, beyond without a boat or cause way to effect its passage. ; IJie bridge is, however, constructed of fragile materials, and it defends upon how it is trodden, whether , it bend or break. - Gout and apoplexy are also in the vicinity to waylay the travelers and thrust him from the pass; but let mmjjiru up nis 101ns ana provide nimself .with a -fitter staff, and he may trudge in safety with perfect com posure-. To quit metaphor, ."The Turn of Life," is a turn either into a prolonged walk, or into the grave. The system and powers having reached their atmost expansion, now begin either to close like flowers at sunset, or break down at. once. One in judicious stimulant; a single fatal ex citement, may force it beyond its strength, whilst a careful supply of the props, and the withdrawal of all tnat tends to force a plant, wilt sus tain has in it in beauty, and vigor until night is entirely set in. 1 he Science of X jwye, by a fhysictan. J ' Foreigners In Japan.' The China Mail has the following; A tar 1,3 J ill a it i equaled beauty; the lake of. Hakoni, whence can be seen Fujiyama from base to 6ummit, is especially ; beautiful; the -geologic formation of the country is peculiar, and its flora curious, and it is much to be -y regrettori tW the clause in the treaty for bidding residents to travel beyond a circuit of ten ri (about twenty-six miles) in radius, from Yokohama should now be retained. Practically we are constantly crossing the Donnaary in our excursions, and complaint has seldom been loageu, eictpuu iuc cae of attempts to ascend the- sacred mountain of Oyama, which have occasionally beeu made by people who should know better. It is this disregard for the feelings and prejudices of the Japanese which Keeps anveana will verpetuate their dislike to toreigners. We have as litue ngnt to aw,i rmr wav ud the Uvama, or any other sacred hill to see the view from the top, forsooth! as a Japanese has to cross the communion rails at Westmmitsi- Ahhev. or to examine tne w.W nf the Ueauchamp tomb. But if the native authorities could be assured that their holy places would be safe from desecration, and that travoWa would be content to take the word of the orhcials for the tact ot a building or a hill being either private or ecclesiastical property, we nave little doubt that an extension of the circle which at present bounds our excursions into the environs of the open ports would not be very dimcun to obtain, and we might thus very widely extend our knowledge of the country, its people and its productions. Tenn json's Home. In Bayard Taylor's last letter,' pub lished in the New York Tribune, occurs the following: r . ' On the Isle of Wight, where I spent two days, I found not only the temperature, but the-vegetation of the Mediterranean shore. About 'Newnnrt the ornamental shrubbery con sists principally of the Italian laurel. the myrtle and laurisunus, me iaiier heinc already in full bloom, j Side by side with these grow the lilac, (which in Norway blossoms under the Arctic Ciro lft..Vvihurnum .rand other northern shrubs Ivf hd 'parks "and pleasure grounds, you see the itpman ilex, and the cedar of Lebanon in company with Scotch firs-and larches. At b ar-. rintrfnrd. Mr. Tennyson has two spec imens of the ilex, which for luxuriant fcpnntv and form 'I hate" never seen surpassed in Italy. Amo'ng his trees, I also found a splendid "magnolia grandiflora," the : Italian umbrella pine, cypress, and a variety of arauearia. The fan-pan of China ( chcemerops excelsa") has been planted in the Oneen' gardens at Osborne, and i has grown thus far without requiring i anv nrntection during the Winter. Mr. Tennyson's sequin (the giant of California), which was planted by the hand of Garibaldi, is now thriving vigorously. His gardeuer was obliged to protect it by a wire.cage. and, I suspect, is still a little nervous whenever a stranger approaches, the illustrious tree. In all the sheltered nooks of the park, snowdrops, cowslips, daffodils were blooming, and one rhododendron already lit up with rosy fires the dark green of the " dry-

tongufedlaurel."U I hall - not - offend

the-Lares of Farrineford by anv de tails of the life they guard; but the many mends of the poet beyond the Atlantic will be satisfied to know that not one inch of his six feet of stature has yet- been bent-by time. He-is still erect, vigorous, and full of creative life. Many a golden line will yet flow from that full-voiced fountain song. The Russian-American Treaty.

We copy from yesterday's Indianapolis Journal an account of the proceed ings: Most of our readers are acquaint ed with the College history, and it will only be necessary at present to state that embarrassments of a financial character have been the only drawback to Hanover's progress heree West that has. in the same Ten time, accomplished more for the Church, or State, than Hanover. lhe exercises connected witn this Commencement have been of unusual interest. Many visitors from this, and other States adjoining were present. The audience assembled in the old College building, on ednesday, June 19, at 10:30 A. m. Rev. J. U. Stewart delivered a very fine address to the Literary Societies on : I he Ed ucated Man for the Iime3, alter which addresses were made and Di plomas, delivered to the graduates of the Societies by Professor A.

Thursday, at ten o'clock A. M., the regular exercises of Commencement Day began. k The graduates -of this year are nine in number. The literary character of their performance will bear compari son with the graduating speeches of members of any college in the land. Diplomas were delivered, and an address by Rev: J. W. Scott, D.

The editors of the New York Evening Gazette have been asked by some of their young lady readers if they believe with the Apostle Paul that it is best not to marry. To this query they ren'v as follows. Tte fact that the givers of this advice are bachelors does not. we suppose, militate against its soundness: "Yes and no. dear girls. That depends upon circumstances. A hus band is like a blacksmith's largest hammer, m being a very handy and useful article to have about, if you need it and can manage it, and a very

Speakine chemically, mar riage is mixing the oil and water of opposing tastes, unless the alkali of genuine love be added, in which case you have soaD' and. smoothness, and glide through life easily." Or we may vary tne expression a little, and may say tnat love is a solvent which unites off It is indispensable, it is delightful, it is jjuwcnm; uui me irouoie is, mat a great many people are fatally apt to mistake a weak solution of sentiment and romance for the genuine extract wnose power and flavor will last through life. 'Don't be in any hurry to try these chemical exteriments for yourselves, dear inquirers check aprons are better than chignons, and housekeeping should be studied under mamma's tuition before voutrv chem istry under your own. In this matter don't be eager to take Time bv the forelock, lest he roughly take off your own lock, the bloom from vour cheek. and the light from your eyes." Ohio Republican Convention Ad dress of tlen. Schenck. Gen. R. C. Schenck, in his speech on assuming the chair in the Ohio Bepubhcan State Convention, said: You know well that the very lead ers ol the rebellion ' stand ready at this moment to accent and abide bv tne terms ot reconciliation ! and res toration which have been offered, and only hesitate in-eonseauence of the mad interference of a faithless Presi dent who. having betrayed the prin ciples on which he was chosen, would now also mislead to their destruction the unhappy people of the South whom he professes to befriend. In pursuance of this insane or wicked course on his part, he is even now seeking, by strained and. absurd interpretation, which shocks the com mon sense of every honest mind, to construe away and get rid of the ob vious meaning and intention of laws, the passage of which he was unable directly to -defeat. It seems to me not inappropriate for this Convention. in such contingency, to demand of all the representatives of States and peo ple, that they shall be punctually at their assigned points at the National Capital on the 3d of next month, to firovide by unmistakable, d laratory egislation against this attempt to paralyze the popular will. And I tell you, my friends, that great embodied will of the people will yet sweep out of the way of the march of liberty and civilization everv obstructing uecnt. and every hair-splitting, word mong-Tmr-feJYtitttttnq de.w is brushed from driven before the wind.
