Mysteries of italian Crime.

An awful occurrence took place few
evenings ago at the Principe Umberto
Theatre, in Florence, during the per.
Torrance OF an equestrian spectacle,
entitled "The Capture of Capriano in
Gala" At the eliminating point of the
piece there is q grand engagement be-
tween band OF brigands and party OF
sharpshooters, the former stationed upon
group OF rocks, and the latter on the
level ground. Just when the combat
was at its height one OF the sharpshooters
fell, and in so natural manner that the
act was greeted with IN enthusiastic round
OF applause. A moment afterwards,
however, it was plain that something
had gone wrong. A couple ofmen rush.
ed upon the stage and lifted the body of
the PROSTATE actor, when it was at once
seen that he was lying in pole of gore.
Cries and shrieks arose from every part
OF the house women tainted, and men
jumped upon the stage. Meanwhile the
orchestra continued to play, and many
of the performers continued their parts,
others, men and horses, rushed about in
wild confusion. At Inst the manager,
pale rs death, came forward, and his
aspect at once hushed the house into
silence, An untoward accident (he said)
had Just occurred, and the representation
must at once be brought to an end.
The house was Immediately cleared, but
crowds fingered for some time about the
neighborhood OF the theatre. It was soon
known that the man who had so "natur-
ally" dropped on the boards had been
shot through the head, and was corpse
before the first echoes of the public ap-
plause could have reached his ear. In
the Italian theatres certain gentlemen,
who exercise their office by turns, are
answerable for everything connected
with the good order of the representation,
the taking OF proper precautions against
accidents, and so forth. On the evening
in question the official on duty had
superintended the loading of the fire.
arms, and is ready to take oath that they
were charged with powder only. The
bullet, therefore, that shattered the skull
of The poor sharpshooter in the mimic
fight was presumably slipped into one OF
the barrels after the guns had been dis
tributed among the company-but by
whom, and for what purpose ? This is
the mystery to which justice is endeavor-
ing to find the clue. 1t should be added
that the King was, according to his GUS
tom, present OF the entertainment, having
n great passion for all horse spectacles,
and occupied his usual place in a box
close to the stage, in the company of the
Bella Rosina and her daughter, the Mar
chioness Splnola. The shot, however,
supposing it intentional, could not have
been directed at his Majesty, for it was
fired in the opposite direction.

A California Horse.

In San Francisco, o horse recently
transferred from butchers cart, already
trots mile in 215. This fact-if it is q
fact-makes that particular piece of
horse-Aesh worth o hundred thousand
dollars. A small item for the owner, but
a very comfortable consideration for q
poor man. The horse men are in rap
lures of delight But it turns out that
the horse is not q thoroughbred, but
hack OF doubtful lineage, which owes
little to good breeding. 1t would be q
singular commentary on the training OF
blooded horses if this unknown cob,
embarrassed from a butchers cart, beats
them all. What are we to do with the
horse MAXIM" that blood will tell -
after this, seeing that it signifies moth
ing after all 3? We believe there is
scow somewhere about the harbor of
San Francisco that can beat the fastest
yacht that ever sailed in those waters.
And now we have the next wonder
Stanford's horse, whilom OF butcher
cart associations, can throw dust at q
in the eyes OF Bonner's horse, and the
latter is no longer the prince Of horse
flesh. The following particulars are taken
from Sacramento paper:
Yesterday morning, at the Park, the
mysterious Stanford horse was driven
around the track in sulky, by " Yank
Smith, who has the animal in charge.
The first half mile was trotted over ut
moderate speed, but on the last half
mile Smith let him out, and he crossed
the score at 1.07. Keeping right on, at
a slower trot, till the last half mile was
reached, the wonderful horse was again
urged to his utmost speed, and made
the last half mile in 1.O7s. His time
was noted by several reliable and expe-
rienced parties. There is no doubt
about this time having been made, and
it is the fastest on record. Awell-known
sporting gentleman offered wager that
he could take the horse for week, and
drive him mile in 2.15. The horse has
a somewhat romantic history, and, like
many bipeds in this country, his eleva-
ton from hard work and obscurity to
fame and ease, has been as rapid as re-
markable. Not many months ago he
did service in butchel-cart, and was
sold for the paitry sum OF $50. Stan
ford paid $500 for him, and could
probably get $4,000 for his bargain.
The pedigree of the horse is in dispute,
but those who have the best reason to
know. state that he is st. Clair.

THE FoRT NIAGARA DIsAsrER.-The
life.boat belonging to Fort Niagara,
Ont, got adrift. Lieuts. Morrison and
Ashbury, started out after the ife-boat,
but finding their own boat to be in dan
ger from the heavy sea running, they
abandoned the attempt to recover the
lost boat, and tried to land on the Can
ada shore. When within few hundred
Yards of the shore, their boat was struck
by q sen, and Lit. Morrison was by it
washed overheard. The boat immedi-
ately fell into the trough of the SEQ, and
was soon capsized. Five of the men
succeeded in getting on the bottom OF
the boat, but were soon washed of. The
accident was witnessed by many people,
but the seq was running so high that it
was impossible to launch a boat and
give assistance.
The officers and men all belonged to
the United States army, and were sta
toned at Fort Niagara, on the American
side. The correct names OF the officers
lost are George Ashburn, OF Illinois,
and James Campbell Morrison, ir., Of
Ohio, and both were Lieutenants in the
lst Regiment of Artillery. The bodies
Of all the men lost were recovered on the
Canada shore, about four miles from Nj
agara City. 1t. Morrison's body was
recovered at Port Dalhousie, 10 miles
below Niagara City. All the bodies were
conveyed to the American shore.
Lit. Morrison was formerly resident
of Cincinnati. He was graduated with
high honor both there and at West
Point, and was assigned to the Artillery
Corps. His remains will be taken to
Cincinnati for interment.

How FRENCH GENERAL DIED.-Gen.
Bssson's death forms one OF the most
painful incidents OF the French civil
war. After the taking OF the barricade on
the 9th inst, he was riding at the head
of two regiments along the high street
leading to the Ternes gate, when he saw
an insurgent. who wore the uniform OF
a marine, taking aim Mt him from win
dow. He snatched Chassepot from
one of the soldiers nearest to him, and
said, al will bring down that scoun-
DIRE. ;" But the words were scarcely out
of his mouth when the insurgents shot
brought down the general, who fell dead
with a bullet which went through his
lungs. He was pupil OF st. Cyl, took
part in many campaigns in Africa, was
a major before Sebastopol, served as
head OF the staff OF IN army corps in
Italy. and of the Rhine. He had only
returned from captivity in Germany n
few days before

TRUE CHEERFULSEss.-Along with hui

Humility has no connection with pen

While the truly humble guard against
the distraction OF all violent passions
and subordinate cares, they cherish a
cheerful disposition OF mind. There
cannot. indeed, be genuine cheerinlness
without the appreciation OF your own
heart. While, however, We pay sacred

in which the injuries to their mother
and sister were inflicted, and as to the
whereabouts of Lafayette. The whole
family were promptly arrested and taken

hearing on habeas corpus, before Judge
Decius, at Marshall, for the purpose OF

RED TAPE.-Some of the incidents
connected with the marriage OF Marquis
Of Lorne will strike Americans as having
been ridiculously red tapey. Many fine

Drops OF rain compose the showers

The Washington Chronicle gives an
extended description of the Presidents
superb stables in that city, which are
rapidly approaching completion. They
WILDE two stories high, having press
cd brick front, with trimmings of Sem
eca stone and a most gorgeous and
elaborately finished French roof, from
the center of which handsome tower
will arise. The ventilation has been
arranged on the most perfect plan,
fues being used throughout the build
ing. There are to be two wings for
the accommodation of four carriages.
All the modern improvements are to-
be introduced, including gas and wa
ter, and marble dust is to be used on
the front with mortar, instead of white
sand. The stalls for the Presidential
horses and colts will be quite roomy
and elegant, while in the cellar a tas-
ty boudoir is to be provided for the
delectation of the Presidential cow.
The hostlers will have neat and we'll
finished apartments on the floor
When finished it is expected that the
stables will compare favorably with
any in the country. There are larger
stables, it is true, but none that COM
pare with them in beauty, style Of
finish, adornments and completeness.
The cost of the enterprise is estimated
by the architect at Sl50, 600.
