Grand Reception OF Victor EmmeuueI In
Tuscany.

a letter from Florence, dated April %, has
the following;
The grand reception Of the King being we'll
over, and he and his suite well feasted ut the
royal banquet of the Pitt Palace, His Ma
Iesty was asked If he would graciously wit
ness some fireworks prepared in his honor.
The Characteristic reply was "If they are TO
be snort. PLEASE your Majesty the fire
works OF Florence have but one fault, that of
being too short" Possibly Victor Emmanuel,
impatient for action an he is, believed this,
when seated on the throne erected for him
on the old bridge, or POnt VeechiO. Under
meath threaded "the Silver Arno," spanned
beyond by another Of the six classic bridges,
Pont CdrGjG which was the scene Of the show.
There he fought his late battles over again,
as the storming Of old House Of Magenta, and
the victory of SOlferino blazed out before him
with magical effect. Then followed a bril-
liant tri-colored illumination of the whole
river and town, glad multitudes thronging
the one, and fhntastically lighted boats with
waving banners and national boats skimming
the other, all the scene alive with splendor,
music and joy. We never saw so fine n
pyrotechnic display; in fact such a round
sum as this cost, scarce ever exploded into
air in so short a time. The Bengal lights,
turning the moving pageant as the royal
cortege passed through the crowded streets,
into red, green and white, by turns, lasted
longer, Q. long enough for one to say
behold ~ before the scene changed; and as
a succession of these transformations fol-
lowed, it made gay night of it, dome, cam
pdnite, column and palace, meanwhile spark
ling and twinkling with their starry illumi-
nation.

A New Highlander Hopes with n French
ulFl-Autualtia q IyoVd.Ietter,

In the early part of last winter, says the
Palmer Mass Journal party of wandering
Indians pitched their tent near the village OF
Enfield, and for sevetdl weeks made and ned
died baskets Among them was French
girl, ,youngand bewitehing, asallp pretty French
girlsare apt to be. She made etheacquaintance
of one Otis S. Ward, a comparatively young
man, who could boast Of q large pair Of
whiskers, an afIeotionate wife aud two child
ren. He Kept tile bdarding-hduse for the
Minot Manufacturing Company, and was con-
sidered very respectable man. When the
Indians struck their tent and left town the
French girl went into the family of Ward
and assisted his wife through the winter. On
the LIST of April she left town, Ward taking
her 30 the cars in Palmer. Icl
A correspondence soon commenced be-
tween Ward and the girl the frequency of
which excited the suspicious of the POST
master. On the Sd instant Ward suddenly
left town, and on the same day letter came
for him from Cliftondale, in the town of
Saugus. The letter remained in the office a
day or two, when the Postmaster received a
line from the French girl, recalling the letter
she had sent to Ward, stating that she had
made n great mistake, as she had learned
that Ward had left town. The letter was
taken to Wards wife, who was overwhelmed
with grief on reading il. It revealed the
whole mystery of her husbands absence and
opened the flood-gates of village gossip. The
following is copy of the letter, Verbdtim:
CLIFToNDALE, May l.
"My dear and beloved husband if may be
permitted to call you so, received your
longed for letter and would rather have il
than five-dollar bill. How have lonped
for the time to come when can sit in your
lap and hug and kiss you as much as please
and bury my face in your whiskers. | have
been to Boston and find that the steamboat
leaves Fosters wharf for Bangor on tuesday
and Fridays at 8 clock. ! will meet you at
Worcester depot on the 4th. be sure and
come. your affectionate wife.
a.L4 ..t.sl a ANNIE HATTIE.
"P. S.-be sure and cut off part of your
whiskers"
1t is supposed that Ward and the girl have
gone to Canada. He left debts behind him
to the amount of three or four hundred dol
lars, which is II poor consolation to the in
jured wife and children. - sf.

Extraordinary Suicide-A Man Hangs Him.
self ON Account of His Brothers. Dream.
Joseph Gaimsley recently committed sui
eide by hanging himself in the woods in
Dearborn County, Ind. The circumstances
as related are as follows: y ......
A brother of the deceased had been sick,
aud was supposed to be In dying condition
on Friday preceding the suicide; indeed il
was thought at one time that he was dead.
For fifteen minutes life seemed to be extinct,
and preparations were being made to lay him
out when he revived and, as soon as he could
speak, he told his friends that he had been
to heaven; that he had saw his father there
(who had been dead some two years;) that
he saw. others of his relations there who
were dead; and that it was revealed to him
that all of his family would finally reach
heaven, excepting his brother Joseph---that
he was so wicked that he would not reach
there. 5--v-- --74r,~r rer- -r5a
This was all told in the presence of the de-
ceased, who from that hour acted strangely;
and during Saturday and Sunday frequently
talked to his sister about dying, and as to the
easiest mode of taking oue's life. The family
were SO much engaged with the sick brother
that not much, attention was paid TO the
strange conduct of the deceased.
Finally, on Monday, he left the house and
never returned. Search was instituted, but
nothing could be found of him until Satur-
day, when two men, who were hunting for
game, accidentally discovered him, sus-
pended by the neck from pole which had
fallen across o ravine.

The variety and oddi,y of Mail Matter.


Taking up u thin cardboard box ofartificial
flowers, which had been shaken into the form
Of an irregular rhonlboid, under the pressure
Of several pounds weight of letters and news
papers, a sub-president remarked:
"The faith the public have in us is extra
ordinay. Here is an article which is designed
to go safely TO Dublin, yet not one single
precaution, except this thin piece of twine, is
taken by the sender TO insure its preservation.
Here, again, is pair of white satin shoes,
fast losing their color from friction with damp
newspapers and the edges Of books. The
other day the toe of similar packet pro-
truded from its very thin casing, and the
stamper not being able to stop his hand in
time, ornamented it, in wildly blue ink, with
the words, York, Feb. !, 1885, D., You will
see by this parliamentary return Of the arti-
cles found in the Dead Letter Office, what
curious things are trusted to our care"
The obliging gentleman then produced the
document. Its lists showed, among other ar
ticles, tooth-picks, tooth-fies, fishing flies, an
eye glass, brad avis, portraits, miniatures, u
whistle, corkscrews, a silver watch a pair of
spurs a bride, soldiers discharge and

knitting and lace, dolls things, and vast
variety Of other article that would puzzle in
genuity to conjecture Household Words.

DlsREGARp or THE SABBATH IN PARls.-The
Z Catholic Mrror is publishing series of let
ters, from Europe, written by the Rev. Mr..
0bermyer late pastor of ST. Vincents Church
of this city. The reverend gentlemen, speak
ing of the observance of Sunday in Paris,
remarks Hu.s..
Amid so much that is gratifyingjn Paris,
there is one thing that must shock and scam
dalize an American Catholic. 1t is the awful
dissertation of the Lords day. A person can
with difficulty perceive any outward differ
ence between Sunday and any other day in
the week. Here on Sunday al kinds of SER
vile work is performed. To keep open stores
and shops is too bad; but il is worse to see the
mason laying his stone, the carpenter busy at
his trade, the stone-cutter hewing his block,
the blacksmith hammering his iron the cart
man hauling sand and dirt, the laborer dig
ging the foundations Of houses, the scavenger
cleaning the streets, and the small huckster
singing out his little articles. There seems
to be no rest for man or beast This open,
public violation of one of the ten command
ments with the at least quasi sanction of the
ruling authorities, cannot but draw down a
scourge from high Heaven. Even after
nightfall many of the retail stores on the
Boulevard are kept open. How long, | have
asked myself shall this scandal continue

Seizure of Locomotives of the PcunsyIvn
mia Central RaflrOad.

The Sheriff of Dauphin County, Pennsyl-
vania, recently levied on anumber of loco
motives and other property belonging to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, on an exc
cution issued by Mr.. Knox, Attorney-Gen-
eral of the State, for tunnage tax due the
Commonwealth. In a trial of the case before
Judge Pearson, last summer, it will be recol-
lected that the State obtained a judgment for
over 100000 against the Railroad Company
for tunnage tax due the State Treasury under
their charter, from which the Company ap-
pealed 70 the Supreme Court, but the suit
still remains undecided. nj
Some 100000 of tunnage dues have ac-
crued since that time, for the recovery of
which another suit was brought against the
Company by the State and a Judgment OBJ
tanned, on which this execution was issued.
The Railroad Company gave security for the
payment of this amount, should the suit be
decided against them, and the property
levied on was inmediately released. The
affair created considerable excitement. if7
