The women of Italy are beginning a
novel crusade against foreign fashions
in dress. 1t is to be hoped that it will
be an effectual one, for the models with
which they propose to replace those of
the French are to be taken partly from
the most graceful and artistic of the
unique garments pictured by famous
Italian painters. Native artists in
gowns viii aid in this queer reformation,
and a monthly journal viii advocate it
strenuOusly.

A MURDER COMMITTED TuIRTY YEARS
AGG--CoNFEssIoN OF One OF THE MUIR
DERERS-A DRovER FROM BERKS COUNTY
THE V1cTIM.--Thc Lewisburg Journal con-
tains the following:
No doubt many Of our readers will re-
member a rumor which was in circulation
some thirty years ago, that man travelling
ON horseback through PENIS Valley Mar
rows had been foully dealt with. The ru-
NOR was based upon the fact that the body Of
a horse was found some twenty rods from
the pike, which had apparently been knocked
down with a cudgel and killed. The horse
was found several days after he was killed
by some boys who were out cunning. Other
circumstances connected with the affair
caused great deal of excitement in the
neighborh0od.
Within the last few days rumor has it that
a certain man who moved to the West from
the upper end Of the county many years since
had lately died. and had confessed ut his dy-
ing hour that he was one of the party who
had committed the Penr's Valley Narrows
murder, some thirty years ago, and had
implicated three others. That they played
cards with the man they afterwards killed.
at a tavern this side of the Narrows, and
there discovered that he had large amount
Of money, being drover from Berks county !;
that they at once laid a plan to kill and
rob him; that they followed him through
the NarTows to the place near where the
horse was found, and killed him and the
horse, and buried his body under the horse.
After the horse was discovered they moved
the mans body and sank it in the mill dam,
and when the matter was talked of and the
citizens determined to let the water out OF
the dam, he and the other parties implicated
let out the water the previous light and took
the body and carried it several miles away
towards Brush Valley Narrows aud buried
it, and were the first OH the ground the fol-
having morning to help search.

THE QUEENS john BROwN.-lt is not

THE QUfrH's john BR0wN.-It is not quite
clear who first seized O'Connor when he pre-
scented his unloaded pistol at the carriage
window. but the Court Circular, which is
drawn up under the personal supervision of
the Queen, gives the credit Of the capture to
John Brown. John is rather celebrated
character in his way, and was regarded with
much curiosity when he appeared as wit
ness in the Police Court. He is an Aher-
deem man, from the nciGhborhood of Balmo-
raj. and WIS Prince Albert'S favolite Chilly
when the Prince went out grouSe-shooting
or Devastating. The Queen frequently ac-
companied her husband OH his sportin" cX-
petitions, and was much StruclSwith Browns
evident attachment and devotion to his mas
| ter, as well as by his Shrewd remarks and in
| dependent Judgment on all matters on which
he was consulted. Brown was always
| prepared for every emergency. If the
clouds gathered suddenly overhead il a
change Of wind brought biting air with it
from the snow-tops Of the mountains, it was
invariably found that Browns foresight had
provided for it; that shawls and wrappers
had been slowed away somewhere, and that
everything was forthcoming when required.
Brown knew the incest Glmping-places, the
safest reads, and the best way Of managing
everything. After the Princes death he be-
came the chief personal attendant on the
Queen, and has ever since retained his SUI
prcmacy in tile household. He accompanies
her Majesty on all occasions, leads her pony
or rides in the rumble behind her carriage.
In his tartan kilt and plaid, stalwart, shaggy,
Manufactured, he is genuine specimen of
the North country Scot; and he is also n
thorough Scot in character and temper-vcry
quiet, cool, and imperturbable; reserved in
speech, although outspokcn enough OH occa-
sion; "canny' and defcrential, but also re-
Solutc and pertinacious. He belongs to the
type of Scotch rctaincrs OF whom several
samples are to be found in SCOTS novels,
| who identified themselves with "the fam
| ly," believed i'll it. wprshipped it with in.
| tense, passionate fidelity, but at the same
time had no hesitation in expressing an
honest opinion on any question:, even at the
risk of differing from the master or mis-
tesS. The Scotch have always been
remarkable for this personal loyalty
and trustincss. 1t is commonly sup
posed that q sovereign, with Il great
household always at call, must ncces-
sarily be well served; but the value
of all service depends on the spirit III Which
il is rendered and in the midst of the reti-
nue. of state monarch is especially qualified
| to appreciate the watchful attention of per-
Somal loyalty and attachment. The position
which john Brown holds in the royal house
| hold is alike honorable to the queen and to
himself. In the Police Court he gave his evil
dcnce with strcng Scotch accent and quaint
LONELINESS of language. "He just catchcd
the boy" he said, "by the scrutl of the neck,
and kcepit him till there was enough people
round about to take charge of him."-Lor-
don correspondence Neto York Times.

UsugY LAws.-A bill to abolish the limita-
ton of legal rates Of interest is before the
Legislature. We can conceive Of no sound
argument against its passage. The usury law
is Il dead letter so far as its ostensible effect
goes, while its operation in aid of eXtortion-
lists is very powerful. Instead of preventing
it promotes usllry, and allows note-shavers to
get from twelve TO forty-seven per cent. for
money for which, if there were nc legal OBJ
st;,clcs to competition in lending, they could
not get more than eight to ten per cent.
Moreover, every law that cannot be enforced
dctracts from the authority of laws that ought
to be enforced. In every light The. repeal OF
the usury law is desirable.---NeU York Times.

A BREEZE IN CoNNEcTIcUr.-Thc political
newspapers of Connecticut have fallen by the
cars upon question of grave moment--to
wit. Did Governor Jewell "a candidate fol-
rcGlection), after dining with party, inclu'
ding several colored men, who appear to be
rather the most well-behaved individuals in.
volvcd, go out of the house, dwelling, or
building wherein he dined by the front door
or the back The combat thickens, much
bad language swells the din, and still the
dreadful question remains undecided
front door or the back? The fact is, it ap-
pears, that the Governor really did go out by
the lack door presumably to dodge the con-
sequences of having dined with his colored
supporters Baltimore Sun.
