Prison Garb OF Rosa sIadiaI.

A gentleman writing from Flor
ence, thus speaks OF Rosa Madiai,
one of the family which is suffering
so much for having read the Bible:
| will describe TO you her frightiul
costume, in which, nevertheless, she
looked well and digni6ed. Her
chemise is Of coarse material, like
sail-cloth; then she wears knitted
worsied garment, over which is a
brown duffie robe, such as is worn
by the Franciscans. Over all is
worn the livery OF the prison, that
is, broad yellow and white striped
coarse linen material, The skirt tight
as sack, and on her head she wears
a close skull>cap Of the same,
fastened bv tape under her chin,
no hair being seen. She has coarse
hose and great thick shoes. | am
not sure that | ever told you when
describing her cell, that her seat was
a round stool, like a milking stool
chained TO the wall in the corner o.
the room; and in the opposite corner
is a small footstool also chained, SC
that poor Rosa, when at work on
her stool of repentance, canno,
make use Of the second small stool
to keep her feet from the cold brick
floor. She told US that when sh,
was brought from Florence, instead
of being conveyed at once 10 Lucca
they kept her a night and half a day
in the common prison at Pistoia,
which she said was a most filthy
place, and the food they gave TO hel
was too loathsome TO eat. Tell yor
all this, because see some Englisf
papers speak of the kindness with
which they are treated.

OUR CANDIDATE FoH GovERNoR.
reference to the nomination Of Mr. Bar
rere, the HilIsborough News, published
al the town of his residence, thus speaks:
"On behalf of the Wings of Highland
county, we tender to the Wings Of the
State at large, our Acknowledgements for
the high honor conferred in the nomina-
ton Of our fellow citizen, Hon. Nelson
Barrere, as the Wing candidate for Gov
ernor at the coming election. We deem
il 20 disparagement 10 the many distin.
guished Wings who are mentioned for
that Office, to say that better selection
could not have been made. Mr.. Bar.
rere has established an enviable reputa.
ton in Congress, as well as al home,
where his great ability and capacity are
so well known, and where his popularity
is shown by the fact that he was elected
to Congress in 1850. by majority Of
1876 over his Democratic opponent, in
district Highland, Clermont and BROWN
which at the same election gave Gov.
Wood a round majority Of fire hun
dred! In the re-districting of the State
last winter the Democratic Legislature
tackled on another county to the district
[ (Adams) with an average Democratic
majority of from TO 800, for the ex-
press purpose no doubt of preventing
his reelection; but Notwithstanding this
shabby device he came within 972 votes
of beating his opponent. The district
gave Gen. Pierce MAJORITY OF NINE~
TEEN HUNDRED AND FoRTY>rHREE! The
Wings in the State can judge from this
what sort Of candidate they have got,
and we presume there is no Democrat
who will deny that he is HARD TO BEAT?
Under such a leader we have a firm
conviction that our scattered forces can
be rallied and reunited, and the State
redeemed from political misrue. We
call upon our brother Wings 10 be of
good courage. for they have chosen a
chieftain Of the "HighIand clan, whose
claymore is mighty in battle. and whose
war-cry is terrible to the foel'

Touch OF Nature.

A car full of passengers, recently
passed over the Western Railroad. in
which occurred simple but touching
scene. worthy of record. One of the
passengers was woman, carrying in
her arms a child who annoyed every
one by its petuIance and cries. Mile
after mile the passengers bore the in~
Fiction of Its noise, which rather in
creased than diminished, until, at last,
it became furious, and the passengers
nearly so. There were opened COM
plants and one man shouted-"take the
child out" The train stopped at a sta
ton, when an cd gentleman arose and
made the simple statement that the faith
er of the child had died recently away
from home, that the mother had been on
a visit to her friends and had died while
on the visit. that her dead baby was on
board the train, and that the child was
in the arms of a woman who was a
stranger TO it. 1t was enough. There
was tear in nearly every eye, and all
were melted into pity, and patience
All selfishness vas lost in thinking Of
the desolation of the poor little WANDER

SINGULAR .CIRCUMsTANcE.-Two
or three weeks ago a respectable
married woman residing in the east
ern end of this county, gave birth
TO twin children, which addition in
creased the little responsibilities OF
the household to nine. Some five or
six nights after the event. the hus-
band, who occupied a bed in the
same room, was awakened by her,
when she complained bitterly Of her
hard lot in having such large house
hold to care for. The husband
soothed her as well as he could, and
then fell asleep. In about an hour
he awoke, and found that his wife
had left her bed. Immediate search
was make in and around the house,
but she was not to be found. The
alarmed man, fearing that in her
weak condition she must perish be-
fore she could 60 far, summoned his
neighbors 10 aid in searching for her

lowed the track to creek where she
had crossed and re-crossed the
stream three times, in water TO the
depth oi three feet. From there
they tracked her along the creek
through fields and woods to dis
tance of nearly three miles, and a
length found her sitting in fenc'
corner, with a piece Of rope and I
nail in her hand. When inter
rogated as to her motive for leavin:
her home, she declared it was her in
tention to commit suicide. 1t wa
then suggested that she was laborint

A singular crime has just come TO
light in the little principality of Lippe
Schaumberg. A country gentleman OF
large property in that principaIity died,
leaving one daughter and two sons
The daughter, who was heiress TO the
greatest part of the property, soon after
disappeared, no one knew whittier, and
consequently the two brothers became
sole heirs of the estate. Now, af:er the
lapse of some ] 5 or 90 years, accident
has brought to light the fact that the
daughter still lives, and has been kept
imprisoned by her two inhuman brothers
during all this time in cellar. The
matter has already come into the courts,
and the monsters will get their deserts.
