, and Italy also, before the calends [the first] of October, a bill was immediately posted about the city, with the following words :-" TAKE NOTICE:In imitation of the form of the public edicts, which began with the words, BONUM FACTUM. The Chaldaeans also decree that Vitellius Germanicus shall be no more, by the day of the said calends."

Tacitus, De Mor. Germ., informs us that the Germans placed great confidence in the prophetical inspirations which they attributed to their women. whom he held to be oracular, having told him, "That he would long reign in security if he survived his mother."

n the evening saw my friends, Hamilton Fish and family, just arrived from New York. August 17. Visited M. Vattemare, also the Genevieve Library, which is open to the public; dined with the Fishes at the table d'hote of Meurice's Hotel. The summary of Sumner's diary for the month is as follows: Leaving Paris August 19, he stopped a few hours at Meaux, where he visited the cathedral, the palace, and the garden of Bossuet; passed one night at Rheims, another at Strasburg, and a day at Baden-Baden, where Mr. C. A. Bristed of New York, then renting a villa near the town, drove him in the neighborhood, and up to the Alte Schloss. Next he went to Basle, Berne, Thun, Interlachen, the Lake of Brienz, the Brunig Pass, Alpnach, and to Lucerne, where he met his old friend Theodore S. Fay, whom he had been disappointed in not finding at Berne, and the two recalled earlier days in long conversations. Then, after a day of the grandest scenery between Lucerne and Hospenthal, he crossed St. G

up to the platform and did pretty well in French. The audience applauded, laughing a little at some points. In fact, my little speech was a decided success with the Frenchspeaking part of the audience. Two or three Englishwomen who understood very little of it found fault with me for occasioning laughter.

Miss Bolte also wished me to go to Baden Baden to see the Empress of Germany. September 24. A conference of Swiss and English women at 11 A. M. A sister of John Stuart Mill spoke, like the other English ladies, in very bad French. Nous femmes said she repeatedly. She seemed a good woman, but travelled far from the subject of the meeting, which was the work to be done to carry out what the Congress had suggested. Mrs. Blank, of Bristol, read a paper in the worst French I ever heard. Ouvrager for travailler was one of her mistake

lth being in such condition that he was relieved of active duty and sent to Savannah with General Hardee. On the retreat from Savannah he accompanied General Hardee, but was not afterward actively engaged. He was a gallant soldier, but physically unable to endure the strain of a severe campaign. After the war he returned to Savannah, and was a banker in that city from 1866 to 1869. He then removed to Baltimore, Md., where he was a commission merchant from 1869 to 1872, when he went to Baden Baden, Bavaria, and died there on the 9th of June, 1877. Brigadier-General Paul J. Semmes Brigadier-General Paul J. Semmes was before the war a prominent citizen of Columbus, Ga., and captain of one of the best drilled companies of that city.

The forest reminds one of Odenwald and of Baden-Baden. Nearer the coast are cones of basalt like those of Brissac and the Kaiserstuhl. The erratic phenomena are also very marked in this region; polished rocks everywhere, magnificent furrows on the sandstone and on the basalt, and parallel moraines defining themselves like ramparts upon the plain.

Died in Germany. --The New York papers announce the death of Mrs. Charles Astor Bristed, the excellent and accomplished wife of the well-known "Carl Benson." Mrs. Bristed expired at Baden Baden, Germany, on Monday, August 5, of a complicated heart disease. She was a woman of great personal and mental attractions, which she inherited from both her parents, (the late Henry Brevoort, of New York, and Laura Carson, of South Carolina,) as well as of a most enchanting sweetness and gayety of disposition. In Baden she was universally loved and respected. The inhabitants and residents attended her funeral with almost regal honors. Members of the diplomatic corps came from a distance to be present at the ceremony, and ladies of the highest aristocracy followed the procession to the grave. She was but thirty-seven years of age.

is bill, and discovered that he owed the admiring restaurateur precisely six thousand francs! There was a very singular trial, on Wednesday of this week, before the Correctional Tribunal of Versailles. A workman was accused of robbing an infant's grave. In the crime itself there was nothing extraordinary, but it would require a vivid imagination to divine the resurrectionist's motive. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was separated from his wife, against whom he cherished most resentful feelings. He wrote anonymous letters to the authorities, accusing the poor woman of infanticide, gave details as to where she had hid the body of the supposed victim, and robbed a grave in order to carry out his diabolical conspiracy. The tables were, however, turned upon him, by the infliction of a sentence which will keep him from evil deeds for several years to come. The Princess de Salms, a cousin of the Emperor Napoleon, has just died, of brain fever, at Baden-Baden.

M. Rouher, the French Minister of State, with his family, has recently been at Milan. At the house of Count Vimercati, at Mirabellino, he had an interview with Prince Humbert.
