MOUE TBOUB?ES.-It is authoritatively
stated (says the Washington Palriot)
that l h G Spanish Go vor noient has ver?
bally, through its Minister near Um Go?
vernment, complained of Gen. Sickles'
inference in Spanish polities, thus mak?
ing himself objectionable as a Minister.
The complaint was made in a friendly
way, bat showed that his oontinued pre?
sence would not be agreeable at Madrid.
Our Government wiP, it is intimated, act1
in this matter as it aoted io the case of {
Mr. Burlingame, who was appointed
Mioistor to Austria, but that Govern?
ment having expressed an indisposition
to rooeive him in that capacity, owing to
his having, in I860, while a member of
the House of Representatives, offered u
resolution showing his deep sympathy
for Sardinia, he was transferred to the
Chinese mission. The friendly intima?
tions by Spain to our Government aro
not, however, of recent ocourrenoe.
Thoy were made about three months
ago.
Another diplomatio trouble, between
the United States and Italy, is an ob?
jectionable despatch of Minister Marsh
to the State Department reflecting upon
that Governmout. There ia no doubt
that it has only recently been disoovered,
thoagh written in September, 1870, and
unintentionally published in the diplo?
matio correspondance of that year.
There maj have been comment upon it
ia diplomatio err?les here, but it has not
been bronght to tho attention of the
State Department.
AitT TitEASuitKS IN C?TUOS -A recent
number of a Greek journal cont ni ni
some account of the arobaslogioal memo?

island of Cyprus has awakened consider-1
able interest. The discoveries were
made by au Ilulian, who lived for somu
yeara in this country, became a natural?
ized American, and is now neting us
United States Consul at Larnaki. Ho
bas expended u large sum in making ex?
cavations, nud has fouud iu all some
8,000 works of art, of various value,
most of them discovered in tho tombs
and in tho temple of Venus nt Colgon.
The numeration of these inclinion 1,200
ancient Greek, Phonioian and Roman
vessels of glass; 4,UU0 Phonieiau, Assy?

bowls, brooch pins, otc; 90 Phonieiau,
Greek and Cypriote inscriptions; 204
stone statues; 790 stone hoads; 320 vo?
tivo offering*; 130 gold cylinders, etc.
The Vizier, aroused to the importance of '
retaining the treasures of ancient art
whioh Greece still possesses, bas issued
an order prohibiting tho exportation of
articles of tho kind when discovered.
The discoveries above enumerated were
made, however, before the order wus
iBsuod, and the articles brought to light
are the .private property of the Consul.
They are sufficient to enrich a hundred
museums.
FRANCS.-Tho Orleans Princes D?
Joinville nud D'Aumule have been re?
stored to their positions iu the navy and
army by the Frenoh Government. Their
property has also been givou np to them.
The signs in France are much more fa?
vorable to priuoes, and foreshadow thu
restoration of the monarchy. Noue but
enthusiasts dreum that a republic will
snit tho Frenoh peoplo. It is a qnestiou
whether the monarchies of Europe will
permit a republic to exist iu France, to
be tho continual source of trouble ami
discontent in their owu kingdoms. Tho
question now is botween tho two branches
of tho Bourbons-the Duke De Chum?
ben!, the legitimate successor of Charles
the Tenth, or the Count of Paris, tho
successor of Louis Phillippe. Tho do?
meney extended to tho sons of Louis
Phillippe indicate that popular favor is
inclined towards thu Orleans branch.
The rapid and exteusivo growth of de?
basing and obscena literature has at Inst
excited general alarm throughout society.
lu many Stutos stringent laws aro being
enacted, and iu several Northern cities
proscriptive societies have been formed,
in ordtr to guard tho young and inno?
cent against their corrupting iuflnenoes.
This is a good movement, and one not
made too early. Unless a stop is soon
put to the dslugo of obscene literature,
which has swollen to such huge and
alarming proportions since the war, its
effects will be permanently stomped upou
our national character, and will in time
seriously undermiuo our standards of
morality and virtue. The danger is a
publia one, and calls for a general uuiou
throughout the laud in resisting it.

NATOIIEON'B PBOSPXOTS.-A single ru?
mor to the effeot that there was a eon
spiraoy organized wt- ~se parp?se it was
to re-instate Napoleon as Emperor of
the French, might justly be treated with
incredulity; but when these reports are
things of daily-occurrence, we are natu?
rally bound to ?ive them some oredence.
Many circumstances induce such a con?
clusion. Napoleon's ambition is not BO !
easily satisfied, and Napoleonio pride ?B
not so readily crushed. If the de?
throned Emperor has in him any of the1
spirit of the hero of St. Helona, he will
hardly remain inactive so long as there
is a spark of hope; and when he observes 1
a perfect blase of discontent amoag his I
former subjeets, hope almost amounts to
aBsnrance. The French Republic is
trembling in the balance. Even Mons.
Thiers openly aokuowlodges the insta?
bility of his Government; and in the
eveut of dissolution, who will dare face
the scoffing populace and declare him?
self President by virtue of a few votes of
a fanatical people? The Republic has
failed. Kaiser Wilhelm will neither
suffer anarchy nor dare to appoint a dic?
tator, and there remains but one alter?
native-an Emperor. Shall he be a Bour?
bon, an Orleanist, or a Napoleon? The
exiled Emperor's secret emissaries, his
illustrious pedigree, the memory of his
uational improvements and the growing
discontent of the French people, will de?
termine.
One of the moat artistio frauds that
ever came to my knowledge was de?
veloped before the jory. A man had
loaned some money, and taken the mort?
gage of a tract of land as security on
the note. Before loaning it he submit?
ted the title to his lawyer, who informed
him that it was correct, and consequent?
ly the bargain was closed. The noto fell
due and went to protest. The lawyer
had, in the meautime, moved from the
city, and the other parties were not to
bo found. Tho land which was mort?
gaged lay io New Jersey, and the holder
of the noto took the neoeesary steps to
foreclose. A professional searcher of
titles went to the township mentioned in
the papers, and found thut theres was no
Buch land iu existenco.
Tho grantor named iu the original
deed had been dead ten years at tho timo
when the document was dated, and the
whole business was a conspiracy in which
the lawyer had betrayed his client. One
of tho conspirators had turned State's
evidence and carno before us. His posi?
tion waa uot particularly comfortable,
and he grew restive under the questions
showered upou him. Little by little the
truth was drawn from him, and ho prac?
tically admitted to having been the ori?
ginator of the fraud te.n years ago. The
pupers were evidently prepared with
care, and had au appearance of genu?
ineness euough to deceive any mau who
was not suspicious of wroug and had ro?
lled upon his lawyer to protect his
rights.-Scribner's.
i BOBDERIES BY AN EXPRESS MESBENOER
-DETECTION, CONFESSION AND RESTITU?
TION.-A despatch from Bichmond, Va.,
under dato of the 3d instant, says:
For rome time past, considerable sums
of money consigned to vurious parties,
through the Southern Express Company,
und mostly from Now York, have failed
to reuoh their destination. The missing j
packages disappeared somewhere be?
tween Bichmond, Va., and Wilmiugton,
N. C.; but every effort on the purt of
the route agent, Mr. Bell, and tho su?
perintendent of the company to discover
the leakage was fruitless. These defol- [
cations were reported to tho headquar?
ters of the Southern Express Company
iu New York, and detectives were en?
gaged to traoe them. There were four
express messengers ou tho ronlo be?
tween here and Wilmington, and of
these, LeBoy Archer, a young mau of
good family und respectable connections,
turned out to bo tho criminal. When
arrested, ha at first stoutly denied the
theft of tho packages, but when the
officer showed him the proofs, ho con?
fessed the crime, aud with tho detective
wout to Petersburg, where his father ro
sided. Nearly all the missing funds
were found buried under an apple tree
in tho paternal orchard. Tho largost of
the packages was sent from Now York on
the 7th of February, and was stolen on
the 8th, and the other, of $100, was1
sent on the 17th and stolen on the 10th
of September last. Archer, with tho aid
of a heart-broken father, refunded all of
the money but $80, and was allowed to
go froo by the Express Company.
CRUELTY TO A CHILD.-A case of
shocking cruelty to a child eight years

The child lived with a minister, who
ilmost starved her to death, and turned
