EiPQSITOR, Kossuth: Where is Louis Kossuth, the fervent ora- tor, the passionate patriot, the . great Mag- yar ? What has become of him that he has not turned up at a crisis like the present? Not a few anxious politiciens and wonder- ing editors have been asking thcquestion of late. and at length through Yankee en- terpriee it has received an answer, of the truth of which, however, we are quite con- vinced.; - The Boston Lyceum Bureau some time since :commisssioned a gentleman' to find out Kossuth, and to offer him a series of lucrative engageraentsin the lecturing line; Yankee 'cuteness and perseverance are seldom beat, and we need hardly say that Kossuth was found. We have all read of Japhet in search of a father, but a, Yan. kee in search, of a patriot is 'a new idea.— The great Magyar was found in a retired quarter ofTurin, in a small room over a humble tavern. It is needless to say that he turned a deaf ear to he tempter, and refused all the offers made to - him. ; The sight of this man, whose words - were once words of fire, powerful tee -sitr up millions to enthusiasm, and whose brain was cun- ning to riot no ignoble schenies, having for their object the redemption of a people and the liberty of a nation, sitting in poverty in a'sMall room over a third rate tavern in Tu- rin, badgered by an impertinent Yankee, is surely a pitiful one. The brief account which we have received of the interview is exceedingly tottchirg in its deep pflthos. In answer to the offers of his inquisitor, Kos- suth. replied, I want nerve, and as for _ ad- dressing a number of people, I have almost forgotten what peblic speaking is, I am, in truth, a changeling," Is this, indeed, the end of all poor Kassab's brilliant hopes, and daring ambition? His fiery eloquence his passionate love of Leedom, his indomit- able courage, his reckless eating, his turbu- lent but high-souled an generous genius, all his great schemes and .coi'mtleas intrigus es and plottings, to end in this—a broken- down, nerveless old man, siting in poverty in a humble recta absfve a humble pot -house. —North British Mail. • IP. w hy Napoleon Went to War. Horrors!, of War. The sad scene witnessed in the flight of the people along the country theotigh which the retreating and pursuing armies swept, are deeeribed in vivid terms bv French and English journalists. One Writing after the battle of Forbach.and referring to the po- pulation of Saarbrnck, says : There were mothers whO had lost their children, seeking, for them with frantic cries and gesticulations ; old, tottering men and women, stumbling feeply along, laden with some of .their poor household goods, stricken with the silent grief of age ; little children, only half-conscious of what all these things meant, tripping along, often leading some cherished household pet, and seeking some friendly hand orguide them ; husbands supporting their wives, carrying their little ones (sometimes two or three) on their shoulders, and encouraging the little -family group with brave and 'tender words, the woods ringing with slniek-s and lamen- tations, with prayers to th9 Savior and the Virgin. It is impossible to describe in language the sadness and the pathos of that most mournful exodus.. If all the world could only catch i glimpse of such a scene, I will venture to sav that war would be- come impossible : that fierce national pride and Quixotic notions of honor, and the am- bition of Kings and Emperors andStates- mien, would be forever curbed by the re- membrance of all the pity and desolation of the spectacle. The Triumph of Pretty Women. -Life becomes more harmonious, it beats With a keener sense of enjoyment in the presence of pretty woman. After all, a charming little figure, a piquant little face, is the- best retnedy for half the ills of exis- tence, its worries, its vexatious, ita dullness its disappointments. .4nd, even in the lar- ger and more placid types of beauty, and in the beauty of Lady Dumpello, if there is a tinge of seupidity,-- there is, at any rate, an air of rePose, a genial influence moulding _our social converseand habits into gentler shapes. The Tribune's corresPondent gives cur- rency to a story 'which he gete from persons ina position to what has passed behind the curtain, which would account for the differ- ence 'between Napoleon's army on paper and the effective force of the army, and which to a certain extent explains why the Emperor *rushed into war, although he knew he was unprepared for it. Of late years hie Civil List hae' not been large enough to provide for the lavish expense of his ,Couit; his laxgesse to his adherents, and the secret service money -which was required to keep up the Jove _of Imperialism_ among his sub- jects. About L2,000,000 sterling were therefore yearly taken from the Minister of War and handed over to hina The larceny was concealed by stores figuring in accounts which never had been bought, and appro- priating the money which was paid into the railitary treasury by those who were drawn for conscription to enable the Government to buy. substitutes. Regiments nominally two thousand strong only had an effective force of fifteen hundred. Money for substi- tutes, and the supposed yearly cost of a sub- -stitute were appropriatei to the civil list. When the Emperor was obliged a few months ago to yield 'to the cry for Parlia- mentary Government he ktiew that the next Legislatif Assembly- would contain sopany Constitutionalists that even if there were still an Imperial majority the scandalous fraud would be brought to light. His only chance, therefore, was to wage war. Per- sonal adherents of the Emperor were in the sect, and they felt they must sink or swim with their master. The Fate of a Prussian Spy in a Stras- bourg Inn. In an inn at Strasbourg, some Aigerines, officers, sub -officers, and French soldiers, were engaged in eating a comfortable din- ner, the first for eight days. - A stranger entered and asked permission. to join them at the table. " Gentlemen," said he, "although I do not have the honor of being known to you, I am not a stranger to the grand family of the army. - Captain 33runet, of the Twenty-fixst line, is my best friend—almost my brother." On account of oapt. Brunet, although no one present knew him, the stranger was allowed to take a seat. He had already eaten the cotelette and the ragout, and had commenced to chat with his companions, when- his evil destiny brought into the room an officer of the Twenty-first. "Ah sAid one to the stranger, " here is some one who will give you news of your friend." "Lieutenant, we present to you -an mate friend of Capt. Brunet." "What Brunet 1"- y first." r had any Captain Brunet ars I have been in, it." vas visible erabarrassed.

Dine at your ease, sir. Permit use to pass the cheese. ' Take 'some of these mirabelles." ' The dinner was ended in silence. They 'Fiat out. 'The officer took the arni 'of the spy passed into the street, drew his revol- ver, and gravely, and without a word of re- mark, blew out his brains. • / It is amusing to sepe how the prettyaess of a woman tells on her dress, how the or- der and propriety of her dress- tell on her home. The pursuit of beauty, the habite of prettiness, give an ideal dignity to the eery arrangement of her bonnet -strings. The movement, in the very sweep of her ample folds, in the pose of -her languor, in the gay start of her excitement, one feels the softening, harmonising influenee of her last look in the glees. She may, be gay or sorrowful, or quiet or energetic, but she must be pretty. Beauty exercises an im- perceptible compulsion over her, which moulds her whole life into graceful and har- monious forms. Her dress rises out of -the mere clothing of man into regions of sci4ce poetry and art. A thousand considerations of tastes, hormonies of color, contrasts, cor- respondences, dictate the choice of a shawl or the tint of a glove. And so as pretti- ness tells on :the dressit tells on the norne. Flowers, pictures, the gay notes of a sona- ta, the coziest of couches, gorgeous hues of Indian tapestry, gloss works of Murano, a hundred exquisite somethings, or nothings are the natural settings- of pretty women. The ,art to the boudoir tells on all but the chaos of the husband's study. Around -that last refuge of barbarism boats an atmos- phere of taste and refinement in erhicli the pretty little wife lives and moves and has her being. And from this tone; of society, the soc;a1 laws of good humor, of propriety, of self-restraintylef consideration for others, of gentleness, of Yivacity. The very hush of the rough tones that have thundered over Peloponnese as Pericles bends over As- pasia, the little turns and delicacies of parish, the joyous serfdoms and idleness of manifest, and most energetic of men, tell of the triumph of pretty women. ---46••• Daniel O'Connell. Wenclall Phillips, recently describine the eloqdence of the great Dish agitator, 'Dan- iel O'Connell, spoke thus have listened to the impressive solenanity of Webster, been delighted with the grace of Everett, dazzled with the rhetoric and logic of 'Cal- houn ; I have sat beneath the magnetism of Henry Clay : it has been my fortune to sit at the feet of the great speakers of the English tongtee on the other side of the wa- ter ; But I think OVoien.ell, lavishly gifted 'by nature, blended, into, one harmonious whole the solemnity of Webster, the grace of Everett the logic of Calhoun„ and the magenetism of Clay. Nature seeins to have "intended him for the Demosthenes of our epoch. She gifted him with everything that goes to make up -the cOnsummate tri- bune of the people. In the ,first place he has a mag,nificentpresence, impressive bear- ing—massive like that of Jupiter—Web- ster himself hardly outdid him in the ma- jesty of his propoetions. There was some- thing majestic in his presence before he spoke, and he added to it what Webster - had not --what Clay, might have lent= grace. Lithe as a boy at seventeen, per- fect in -attitude, every_ gesture a picture, so natural as if no effort, no art, nothing but nature spoke all over him. Then he had a -voice that covered the whole gamut. He could endow the nation with the majesty of Burke. As I heard him once say :—" I sendray voice across the Atlantic, career- ing like the thunderstorm against the bxeeze to tell the slaveholders of the Carolinas that God reigns, and his thunderbolts - are - hot, and to remind the bondman that the morning of his redemption is already break- ing." Then with .the slightest possible brogue—which is the pleasure of it—he would tell a story that would put 5,000 men into merriment, and the moment after he wopld melt the whole of Exeter Hall into t76.as. All the. while 'he seemed to be only breathing as effortless as ever wood- land nook sent violets up tb paint them blue. .6 OFFICES TO .LET. • TWO offices en the second. fiat in Scott's Block.
