CIVILISED AMUSEMENTS.

We recently drew attention to a shocking trapeze per•
formance by girls, which has afforded infinite delight to
the people and the journals of New York and Phila-
delphia. One elder sister hangs from a trapeze with her
head downwards, and a younger swings from off another
trapeze, turns a somersault in the air, and is caught by
th• hands of the suspended girl. This exhibition,
which outdoes even the horrors to be witnessed in
England, has just had its natural result. A
man who stands below to take the little girl
from the hands of her sister dropped her a few days ago,
and she was severely hurt. And yet the fellow who had
failed to catch the little one insisted on her re-performing
the terrible feat. This proposition was met by loud cries
of dissent and hisses, and the child retired. In a few
moments she was again introduced, and a second time she
essayed the leap, but failed on account of weakness. For
several moments she swayed to and fro over the heads of
the audience, and was at length rescued by several gentle-
men. Of course the people all cried " Shame 1" An
audience always is very virtuous when an accident takes
place through a performance sanctioned by its own brute►
taste.

CORRUPTION IN THE ITALIAN LECISLATIMr.
It is probable that the commission now inquiring into
the alleged corruption of certain members of the Italian
Parliament in the affair of the Tobacco Monopoly will
report some serious disclosures. It is a fact that one
senator took a bribe of £l,OOO. The Senate is about to
form itself into a high court for the purpose of trying
this culprit.
