ITALIAN BRIGANDAGE.--A letter from
Rome says that a band of brigands short
time back entered the village of Acute, in
the territory of Anagui, and seized upon
five persons belonging to the principal
families of the place. They carried them
off to the mountains, and gave them to
unders tand that they must pay large
ransom. The family of one of them sent
the sum demanded, and the brigands set
free the person SO ransomed, giving him
a sealed box to be handed to the Mayor
of the village. The box arrived at its
destination, and on its being opened, was
found to contain the ears Of the four other
prisoners, and letter saying that if the
whole sum demanded was not RENTED,
the heads would shortly be sent to their
friends.

A LADY's TUMBLE SENDS LIGHTNING
Across THE ATLANrIc.-A curious in
cident Of ocean telegraphy is thus related
by the London Times of October l.:
''The contents of lady's thimble
would hardly be expected to constitute
very powerful instrument. 1t would
scarcely have been thought capable of one
of the most astonishing feats ever per-
formed by science. The Chairman, how
ever, of the Atlantic Telegraphic Compa-
ny informs us that this little instrument
has actually achieved such feat. BY
way of experiment the engineer of the
company joined the extremities of the two
cables which now stretch across the At
lantic, thus forming an immense loop line
of three thousand seven hundred miles.
He then put some acid in lady's silver
thimble, with bits of link and copper, and
by this simple agency he succeeded in
passing signals through the whole length
in little more than second Of time. A
few years ago, how incredible such state
ment would have sounded! 1t seems, in
deed, that the simplicity of the fact has
taken even electricians by surprise.
When cable was first laid across the
whole breadth Of the Atlantic, it was an
ticipated that an unusually high power
would be requisite to drive the current in
sufficient force through such length. In
the first instance, therefore, they used a
battery with fifty cells, and afterward en-
ployed FIVE hundred cells. But this ex-
traordinary power only injured the cable,
and tie company are now working be-
tween Vafentia and Hearts Content with
battery of only twenty cells. 1t is, in
fact, remarkable how greatly the success
of the present year has dissipated the sup
posed difficulties Of distant or deep-sea
telegraphy.' -
