All legitimate encouragement has been officially promised the delegation in behalf of tho Nicaragua Railroad enterprise. The Paris con espondent of tho London Times says tho Emperor's health had im? proved considerably. Thoro was an increasing unpopularity against the Queen of Spain among her subjects, and she was recently hissed at a theatre. A Vienna despatch says Baron Roust's entry into tho Cabinet has strengthened the Austrian policy of conciliation towards Hungary. 'Sho cholera had frecontly ceased at Petsch._ News Items?

Herald says that one day last week, a hard-working young man of that place, received a letter from New York, announcing the death of an aunt, who left a large estate, a full half million of which will come tc him. He appears to be a very sensible, as he is au indus? trious and temperate man, and on receiving the intelligence, completed his day's:work as though nothing had happened, and after having been to New York to confirm the facts in the case, has returned to his daily labors, which ho will continue till the ad? ministration of the estate is com? pleted. The London Times tells the follow? ing about a lluid taken from some Fenian depot or store: A portion of the lluid was poured on a quantity of loose cotton and sticks, and in about four minutes it spontaneously ignited. A bottle containing the fluid was then dashed against a wall, which immediately became a mass of flame. A short time ago, Mr. Su? perintendent Hewitt poured some of it on cotton, wood aud wood chips, and then placed the whole under water, where it remained for a week. It was then taken out and placed on tho floor, and in five minutes had burst into flames. MEETING OE BALTIMORE MEMUEKS OP THE LEGISLATURE.-The members elect from the city of Baltimore to the Senate and House of Delegates held a meeting on Saturday evening, for the purpose of consultation. It is understood that a committee ap? pointed at. the meeting subsequently had au interview w ith Gov. Swann in reference to calling an extra session t of the Legislature. The interview, it is said, was a very pleasant one, the Governor assuring the committee that the subject should receive his earliest attention. {Baltimore San, 12/7/. There are in New Orleans 2,000 Malays, who originally came from the Phillipine Islands. They speak Spanish, and are of a darker com? plexion than the Chinese, are small of Stature, and gain their living by fishing. They are sensitive as to their honor, and quick to resent imputa? tions upon it. A few days ago, one of them stabbed five of his compa? nions to death in a bar-room, be? cause he was accused of a slight breach of etiquette. - One of the proprietors of tho Southern Hotel, at St. Louis, stated last week that hotel returned 1 ">o internal revenue collector, 3 receipts of their bar the preceumg ?ix months, the enormous sum of $70,000 ! THE COUNTESS MELUSINE* BY MRS. II. WOOD. CHAPTER II. '.Who hus taken the oki Hall, Rachel-Oakfell Hall?" cried An? thony, in a rushingJieadlong kind of manner. He was out of breath and heated, having run all tho way home in the hope of overtaking that gracious form gliding so swiftly be? fore him; and lie had been disap? pointed. "How did you know it was taken at all?" said Rachel stiffly. She was displeased at his abrupt entrance and moro abrupt manner. "Never mind that, but tell me tho name of the person," said Anthony, still more impatiently. "When you address me with be? coming respect, I may reply to you; not before," was Rachel's angry an? swer. "Pshaw! I meant nothing disre? spectful, sister. I only want to know tho lady's name." "How do you know it is a lady?" asked Rachel again, with a quick sus-1 picion in her glance. "You are very odd to-day, Anthony." "Why, sister." he answered, forc? ing a laugh, and putting on a caress? ing manner that was as falso and strained as the rest, "What is there odd in asking the name of a new tenant of tho <^ Hall? I heard it was let, and I simply wished to know to whom, as any ono else would wish to know. It was a piece of ordinary gossip, surely not surprising." "Well, there, that's enough about it, boy. I don't know her name, aud I don't want to know it. Sho has no name at all, I dare say. Very likely she is afr adventuress, and thinks it best to leave her old address behind her." And Rachel smiled grimly, for her gruff wit pleased her. "Rachel, you are absurd," cried Anthony angrily, "and uncharitable beyond bounds. It is really too bad -a stranger whom you have never even seen-to at once conclude evil; it is too revolting-too unwomanly!" Rachel opened lier eyes. In all thc years of her young brother's life, dnring which ho bad submitted to ber uncomfortable authority like the most dutiful son, he bad never spoken to ber so disrespectfully as now. She turned upon him savagely, and while rolling out her deep-mouthed pero? ration, the door-bell rang, and Nelly Blair entered. Vapid and unmeaning,:with those abrupt decided manners which have no element of graco in them, and dressed in the singularly unbecom? ing fashion deligbted in by staid young ladies in the country, to whom beauty of toilette is a sin, and who cannot, for the life of them, divorce elegance and frivolity, fashion and worthlessness, Nelly offered such a painful contrast to the beautiful stranger he had just met, that An? thony felt like one, blind or crazed, whose senses were that moment re? stored. Had he ever really loved Nelly, thought lier lovely or found her loveable? Was that the portion which life had moted ont to him? and was he to accept it with thankful? ness? Surely it was all a dream-a hideous dream-from which his guard? ian angel had awakened him before too late, by the golden gorse in the beech-wood copse. Nelly was not sensitive, and her heart gave her no revelations. She shook her lover's hand just as usual; looked into his pale face with her usual smile; caught the earnest, piercing eyes upon her own just as placidly as ever; then turned to Rachel amiably, and brush? ed her cork-screw curls bv way of a kiss. "Well, the Hall'.is takcu at last," said Nelly, sitting down and unfas? tening her bonnet. "Queer, tumble? down, old place! I am sure I wonder at an Y one living there; don't you, Rachel?" "Who has taken it?" asked Antho? ny, quickly. "Oli! a foreign woman-tho Coun? tess Melusine, or some such name. Who she is I don't know; but father drew the agreement, and she signed herself the Countess Melusine. Such a heathenish name, too! Oh, Rachel, ain't it a good thing?" "For bow long is the agreement made, Nelly?" asked Anthony. "With Joe Styles?" "No, no, Nelly! I mean tho lady's-the Countess Melusino's-for the Hall." "Oh! I don't know, I'm sure, An? thony. Buff how she runs in your head! What is it to us how long she stays? She will very likely bo too proud to notice us." "Anthony, I cannot understand you," said Rachel, very sternly. She had kept her eyes fixed on her bro? ther for some time; and Rachel, though narrow, was sharp. "Perhaps not, sister. Did you ever do so?" With which the young man flung himself out of tho room, swinging tho door after him in no very gentle fashion. "Anthony's queer to-day," said Nelly. "What is th J matter. Ra? chel?'' "I cannot tell you," said Rachel. "The letting of tho Hall seems to have upset him somehow. I think that foreign woman has bewitched him." "Dear nie!" said Nelly, laughing. "Well, that is odd now! Why, I have never thought of her twice. Men are queer folk, Rachel; not half so rational as women, after all." "Somo are not, certainly," said Rachel; meaning Anthony as tho apex of tho world's pyramid of fools. After what was to Anthony a con? strained and wretched evening, but which seemed to Nelly just tho samo as all other evenings, and to Rachel neither moro nor less filled with fool? ishness and the waywardness of life, tho lawyer's ?daughter, to her lover's profound relief, prepared to go home. Never had he felt her presence so oppressive, nor her society so uninte? resting; never had Rachel appeared harsher, less womanly, less admira? ble; never had he felt himself less suited to his companions, moro lone? ly in heart, or moro desirous of es? cape. Ho could think of nothing but that beautiful stranger who spoke to him so kindly in the wood, whose smile had mado his life a glory, and whoso friendship seemed as if il would bo no unworthy foretaste o: Heaven. He could render np accouu i to himself for tho persistency of his thoughts. Youths of his ago anc temperament are rarely introspective and for the most part content them selves with feeling, without caring tc examine; and Anthony gave himsel up to tho tido without seeking t( fathom its depth or discern its outlet Timo enough for that, perhaps, whci thc wreck came. Tho weary n'.ght passed, and tin dull morning broadened into day But tho hours seemed, to Anthony to lag as they had never lagged be fore-as if they were all halt ant lame, staggering one step where,.for merly, they ran two-until bo stooi at the lodge-gate of the Hall. Had : magician passed through that ruinei place? or how was it that the wast' and desolation which had grow: round tho Hall in its seven yean desertier had been removed with sue! marvellous specm? The tangled shrut bery was thinned and trimmed; th broad walks, which had grown grce: with moss and weeds, were newl gravelled, hard-rolled, smooth an firm; the lawn was closely mown and, from rank, coarse grass, spar gled with ox-eyes and the bitter hawk ! weed, had turned to moss, close grown and fragrant; the llower-bed had been cleared of their waste c nettles and groundsel, and now vVer j gay with the choicest Howers; whil the house itself was changed in a but tho mere outside lines-trellis work, paint and gilding, marble an paper and cement transforming il whole appearance, and creating a pi lace from a ruin. Rut the marvel r itali was the exceeding celerity wit which tho transformation had bee accomplished, and the unostentatiov manner in which it hrd been done. Anthony was bewildered' am whilo looking about him, almost my teriously, "I have been expedition monsieur, have I not?'' said th: sweetest voice the world had evi hoard; and the Countess stood nois hsssly beside him. . lu her fresh morning dress, wil the soft wind blowing her cbestni curls loosely over her face, and givir a warmer tinge to her fair cheek; wil her strange eyes, so full of hidd< meanings, looking at him more kin ly than woman's eyes had ever look( before, her smiling mouth and grae ful figure, she seemed more th. mortal to tho young country tute He scarcely knew what he answere And something never felt befo rose up within him; tho inner dep was, for the first time, struck, t' living spring, for the first tim opened. Tho acquaintance was n twenty-four hours old, but already had stolen from Anthony the sacr treasures of his life. How the time passed ho nev knew. He thought ho had be about an hour, perhaps a couplo hours, at the Hall, when tho suns fell and the moon came out. He h spent, then, the whole afternoon a part of the evening in tho garde with tho lady, and had taken Iiis <. light in such deep draughts that had scarce been able to understand flavor. But if Anthony had been i conscious of all save feeling, t Counttess had dono her appoint work with vigor and undcrstandii and long before parting-time h come, had learnt the names, biog pliies and rent-rolls of every family tho neighborhood, their weak poi: and their strong ones, where tl were most vulnerable, and where tl wero intact. Anthony was too mt absorbed to notice the greedy inter whic! she lent to this descripth too much fascinated by her grace ? kind nss to ask himself why : cared to know all these minutie people she had never seen, or of w' possiblo interest it could be to ] that young Mr. Briggs had two th( sand a year, and old Mr. Smith f o that the Hopgoods were the princi friends of tho neighborhood; t: the Joneses-retired Liverpool TC chants-were said to play at ruin stakes sometimes; while Capt. 1VJ Arthur was a professed gambler, ? lived by tho Bad^n tables. If Anthony had looked at his com nion as ho detailed this last bit local gossip, ho would have seen t she changed color and slightly fro1 ed, whilo something that might h been a naughty expletive, from sound, rippled musically over lips. But ho paid no attention this, nor to the inexplicable 1: muttered exclamation, "Ready m to hand," said in tho sweetest gentlest of voices, with the brigh of glances flung far over tho lr scape. The Countess laughed. "I cc tell you more than this, Mons j Antoine," she said pleasantly. " friend, M. le Baron von G?ldenst? has told mo a pretty little nest of se? crets-perhaps more than you know of hero in your virtuous little valley. " And then Anthony was gracefully dismissed, tho dinner bell havi rung; and mid-way in thc broad walk a fair soft hand joined itself in with his, and tho loveliest of hazel eyes looked with swimming gentleness upon him, as two small dewy lips parted, and a voico as sweet as a young bird's expressed pretty thank? fulness for the honor of this long visit, and many gracious hopes that it would bo soon repeated, and that they, the speakers, joined now in hand, would become firm friends and great allies. Whereat tho delicate palm gave an almost imperceptible pressure against his, and tho dewy lips smiled a tenderer smile. "For he is really very handsome, and his innocence is quite delicious," she said, speaking to. her maid, to whom she related tho substance of this long day's talk. "Well, and after?" si.ld that indivi? dual, in French, setting herself fami? liarly by the Countess on the sofa. "Weil," answered tho lady, yawn? ing. "It is a good field, my dear, and a safo venture. And now to din? ner, for, ob, I am so hungry." [CONTINUED IN OUR NEXT.] ?John Bright declared in a recent speech, that during the last six years the British navy has cost as much as tho United States navy. In this time England has been in a condition of profound peace, while tho United States have had to build or buy 600 ships, to man them, to furnish them with munitions of war, and to fight them during tho greatest struggle that any nation ever waged. A bill for the division of Texas has been introduced in tho Legislature of that State, but is not likely to pass. The bill provides for the erection of a new State, including all tho territory East of tho Brazos Uiver, from tho source fto where it empties into thc Mexican gulf. Lieut. J. C. Braine, called at the North the pirates of tho Chesapeake, pleaded not guilty to the indictment in the Circuit Court in Brooklyn on the 9th. He was remanded, and tho trial will take place on the 16th. Gen. Sickles has called a Court Marshal at Raleigh, North Carolina, to try charges of fraud against Capt. C. Brown, of Boston, Maj. Alexander Gosiin, of Buffalo, New York, and others. Thc difficulty between the United States Minister in Turkey and the Porte Government, relative to the recent outrage on the American con? sulate in the island of Cyprus, has been settled. John Mitchel, who has returned from exile, was looked for in New York, on Saturday, by the Fenians. Mitchel goes to Richmond, where there is to bo a great Fenian gather? ing. From two bushels of Kentucky white wheat, sown last fall, Mr. John Burns, of Jefferson County, had a yield of sixty-two bushels and thirty pounds of merchantable wheat. Fears are entertained in New Orleans of a financial and commer? cial crisis, owing to the failure in the estimated cotton crop and the scar? city of money. The money order bureau of the Post Office Department bas become a paying institution to tho Govern? ment-the roeeipts^jlargelyjexceeding the expenditures. At Atlanta, Georgia, there is "a Widows' and Orphans' Manufactur? ing Company"-they don't make widows and orphans, but simply furnish them with employment. One hoop-skirt establishment in New York employs 1,700 persons, and uses three tons of steel daily, in tho production of hoop-skirts. The Mississippi Legislatufo has created a new county, and called it Lee, after tho General. Victor Hugo is writing a history of England. SI?I1? NEWS. PORT OF CHARLESTON. NOV. 14.
