Sunday's New Orleans Picayune has the following: The genealogists have discovered thatOar thatOar-ibaldi, - ibaldi, thatOar-ibaldi, the liberator of Italy, is of "the line lineage - age lineage of a king." A few words will explain how, and what sort of a king it was. The Story may amuse our readers. Some German registers are produced to show that more than 100 years ago, a Gari Garibaldi, - baldi, Garibaldi, ancestor of the bero of these times, married a Neuhcff, Bister of Theodore Stephen de Neuhoff,. who was, at one time, for a brief period, and under curious circum circumstances, - stances, circumstances, King of the once Italian Island of Corsica, Tbe connection is remote and col collateral. - lateral. collateral. Tho Garibaldi is not of the "lineage of a king," such as be was, but he and that strange adventurer were" descendants from the same German line. The career of King Theodore of Corsica is one of the romances of the history of the lost century. He was a German by birth, a baron in bis own country of Westphalia, and left home early, in consequence of a rencontre, in wnicn ne Kiuea nis adversary, a young nobleman, and fled into France. He there became page to the Duchess of Or Orleans - leans Orleans in the later days of Louis XIV, and was attached to the court of the Regent in the minority of Louis XV. He served in the army with some distinction, and was employed in the diplomatic service, but he dabbled in alchemy and finance, and was soon ruined. He involved himself in the grand scheme of Jno. Law, and being over overwhelmed - whelmed overwhelmed with debts, was obliged to escape out of the country. He wandered about, from court to court, pretending, like Cagli Cagli-ostro, - ostro, Cagli-ostro, to tbe possession of magical secrets, and finally took up his residence at Flor Florence, - ence, Florence, in Italy. With amazing audacity, he mixed himself np with political schemes, and had the ad address - dress address to give himself importance as a man of extensive influence in Europe. The Cor Cor-sicans - sicans Cor-sicans were then in one of their periodical states of Insurrection against the Genoese, who claimed sovereignty over the Island, and Theodore persuaded the chief of the insurrection that he could bring them sub substantial - stantial substantial aid among tho Courts of Europe. They accordingly elected him King of Cor Corsica, - sica, Corsica, under the title of Theodore I.. He landed in the Island, to take possession of the sovereign power, in March, 1836. But the fierce Cersicans left bim little powers although enough to prevent bim from doing tome very cruel acts. They were even more f paring of money, if they had any, and his reign was a abort one. Tbe Genoese, in few months, compelled him to quit the Island, and after some feeble attempts, during several years, to recover his throne, he abandoned the scene, and took up the role of a rambling and pauper King prac practicing - ticing practicing every shift to gain the means for scanty subsistence. He brought up at length in London, and lived there vagabond life, until his credi creditors - tors creditors threw him into prison for debt. He was confined there seven or eight years, living precariously on charity. We believe he was once liberated, by subscription, started by Sir Robert Walpole, then the Prime Minis Minister - ter Minister to George II; but if so, he must have re returned - turned returned to bis old habits and been involved again, for the inscriptions on the tombstone, in a London chnrch, states that he had died just after being discharged under the act of insolvency. ,.; w;u v.l.u ri,.Ai:tA. which were undoubted personal bravery, and a very versatile gonitis, he lived the life of a loose adventurer, and spent his last days maudlin over his cups inaparisb prison of England, talking hysterically of bis lost crown, Extent of the Cuba Coolie Trade.

A Sbabp-wittbd Rdralibt. Jones was riding up in Westchester County, N. Y., and saw a board nailed np on a post in the yard of a farm-house, with tbe sign painted on it, "This farm for sail." Always ready for a little pleasantry, and seeing a woman in checked sun-bonnet picking up an apronful of chips at the wood-pile in front of the hoase, he stopped, and asked her, very politely, when the farm was to sail She went on with her work, bnt replied to his question instantec, "Just as soon as the man comes along that can raite the wind." Successful Landing of a Submarine Cable. The submarine cable fr'om Algiers has been successfully landed at the island of Minorce, and messages are in course of per perfect - fect perfect transmission both ways. Tbe distance is 250 miles, and some portion is 2,000 fath fathoms - oms fathoms deep approaching the general depth of the route of the unsuccessful Atlantic' line. The portion from Minorce to Toulon, in France, will be about another 250 miles, and this is expected to be laid during ths present inomn, snouiu tne weather prove ravoraoie. A California Confidence Man Foiled. A well-dressed man called at the house of a property-bolder in San Francisco, recently, and displaying platisofcity lotaandother doc documents, - uments, documents, demanded, with an official air, the assessed taxes oa his real estate. The gen gentleman, - tleman, gentleman, thinking all was not right, said he had never seen Jonathan Hunt do business that way, and was not aware that the itin itinerant - erant itinerant system of collection had been inau inaugurated - gurated inaugurated "t the Tax-Collector's office; and finally that all bis taxes bad been paid and receipted for.

Saturday's New York Eveninj rotl ob observes: - serves: observes: The grand tournament of the Knights of the Cue was begun at Lynch's saloon, next door to the Union-Place Hotel, at two o'clock yesterday afternoon. Five competitors have already entered the lists for the prize of a Fplendid gold-mounted cue, oll'ered by MesFre. Phclnn k Colleudcr. The conditions of the tournament are, that earh player will play with each other player a single game of about 600 points, at the four-btll carom game on a enrom table, and the-player win winning - ning winning the greatest number of games will take the prize. At the close of the competition, Phelan, the retired billiard champion, pro proposes - poses proposes to try bis hand against the winner, for the benefit of the ladies who will be admitted by invitation on that occasion. The play commenced yesterday, before a crowded audience, consisting of many of the most distinguished amateurs, with a trial of skill betwecn.Geary, of Chicago, and White, of New York. The gamo was not sharply contested, the players not having "their bands in," aj it is called; but a splendid run of 94 by White put both parties to their mettle. Geary made a brilliant kissing shot, which Berger exhibits as one of his "fan "fancies," - cies," "fancies," and several 6ne runs ot 22, 30, 31, 23, 30, fee. White's rung includrd, besides the 94, one 48; One 34, and several of 28. He won by, 109 points. The averago foreach innings was 12 counts. Messrs. Dudley Kavnnagh and James Lynch 1hen took the cues, in "the midst of great applause. These gentlemen onco played a match against each other, and great curi curiosity - osity curiosity was shown to see them engaged in another encounter. It was, however, gener generally - ally generally expected that ICavanagh would win, be be-enhse - enhse be-enhse Lynch is in exceeding bad health, and appears almost too weak to walk round the tables. Nevertheless, the game was con contested - tested contested in masterly style, and at the close was pronounced the most brilliant example of skill ever given in this country. After two feints or no counts on the part of both, Kavanagh began in earnest with a run of eighty; Lynch followed in a run of 129, made by the most beautiful and delicate coaxing; Kavanagh then ran thirty-three; Lynch replied with fifty-six; Kavanagh put forth a forty-two, in which there were sev several - eral several splendid round-the-table-shots; Lynch answered with an equally splendid thirty thirty-fhe; - fhe; thirty-fhe; and so on to the sixteenth innings, whon Kavanaugh, by means of a run of 113 on the seventh innings, made out 101 points ahead. This game was bo extraordinary that we give the score. But for Lynch's illness, which told upon him obviously after the seventh innings, it would have been, doubt doubtless, - less, doubtless, the best game ever played in this coun country. - try. country.

Tbe Wide Yield in France Worse than Ever Before A Bad Time Coming for the Govemment.T-rom all the wine districts of France, Bays a late Paris letter, the reports are of the most unsatisfactory kind. The wine will be worse than in any year of this century. In Champagne the grapes are yet quite green and hard, and will scarcely be worth gathering. The failure of the vintage, combined as it is with the failure of the com harvest and the failure of the potato crop, must exercise a powerful influence on the internal state of the country; it is sure there is a bad time coming for the Government, which until now has been reaping the fruits of national prosperity. The Emperor, has, at every oppoitunity, declared himself the author of the prosperity which France has enjoyed since 1850. He can not blame the Jieople if they now make him responsible or tbe calamities they are suffering under.

The adjoining parish of Carroll shows an average of $3,750 and coming down among the sugar parishes, West Feliciana, Pointe Coupee, St. Mary and St. Charles, show averages above $3,000 the firs'-named being above $4,000, and nearly allot' them running up beyond the King George staudird. Talleyrand a Hcmbuo in Everything. Talleyrand was a worker, says a London correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, but he was an arrant old humbug in everything and led the world to believe that he was above the rule that binds every man; and as be scoffed and squibbed at all these princi principles, - ples, principles, so he wished it to be believed that he r ' . a e j- . was emancipated iroui me iuiguiy aiciuni which imposes itself on all alike. But had he been a little more of a philosopher, or had he perhaps acknowledged what his own ex experience - perience experience taught him, ne would have said that even to be first in fashion, the elegant lounger, and the man of taste, work is nec necessary, - essary, necessary, and hard work, too.

. The Paris correspondent of the New Or Orleans - leans Orleans Delta gives this sketch of a new veg vegetal - etal vegetal ian drama recently produced at the) French capital by M. do Pene: ' It is called a la Campaigne, and, of oourse, let, Anglaiset pour Hire figure in it. The scene is laid at the chateau of the Count and Countess Fenmarck, in tbe south of France, and we are informed that tbe highly senti sentimental, - mental, sentimental, greatly beautiful, rather maigre mademoiselle, named Laura, is the daughter of an English mi-lord, who has left her there on a visit. The young lady is a raver of poetry, sentiment and the ideal quite a she Byron without tho catawauling. No! she is much too pure for any thing but the moon, the stars, lilies, white satin, and shroud She can not live on the coarse food of other mor mortals, - tals, mortals, and is a vegetarian. The Count is a bon vivant and a roast-beef eater for half a dozen; but, horrible to re relate, - late, relate, he falls in love with Laura, to the dis distress - tress distress of the Countess, his wife, who, to save the honor of self, husband, Lord and daugh daughter, - ter, daughter, hurries the girl away, just in time not to prevent miscuiei no, to prevent tne Count starving, for be has, to please the miss, half starved himself, and been trying to live on mustard and cress. The joke of the piece is in this bit of fun, and it would tell well in the hands of a good comic actor. No sooner is the Countess gone with Laura, than the famished Count determines on re revenge, - venge, revenge, and has dinner served for a dozen; he has just got into tbe thick of it, with his napkin tucked under his chin, bke a true gourmand, and bis face a quarter of an inch thick in natural and artificial grease, half consequent on exertion, half on immersion, when Laura returns she bad forgotten something a faded forget-me-not, on which a favorite lady-bird expired when horror of horrors, she discovers the Count at his pleasure, and finds tbe man of sentiment a sensualist. Tbe love-rising is crushed, and she bids bim farewell forever and vir tue ib triumphant, which is a necessity.

a Horrible Aocident from Heated Iron. A horrible accident befol Henry Hatton at Birmingham, Ct- Iron-works, on Saturday, while rolling a five-eighth bar, twenty-five feet long, at a white heat, of course, fifteen feet of it ran through his thigh, before it was arrested, severing the femoral artery. The poor tellow would soon have bled to death, when the bar was withdrawn, but for the prompt action of a fellow-workman, who at once corded the limb above the wound and stopped tbe hemorrhage, till tbe doctors came and tied the artery, liallon is in a very low condition. Aa Old Couple in England. Mr. Thomas Ficldwortb and Mrs. Grace Pickles were married at Otley, England, lately. Tbe united ages of the parties amount to 151 years, the bridegroom being seventy-six and the bride seventy-five. It is a remarkable fact in connection with the venerable couple, that in early life they were sweethearts, una thus by a strango dostiny, after outliving their respective partners, they now, in the winter of life, become husband and wife. Stranoe Cause of a Runaway. A huge vat of liquid lime, standing before a church in process of erection in Philadelphia, burst on Monday evening, and tbe lime gushed out in a torrent, whitening the street for some distance.
