Mrs. Catharine O'Leary, the owner OF the
historic COW, paid her taxes In Chicago, on
Saturday, on the lot upon which the hre
originated.
"A Chicago contemporary thus describes
the deliberate manner in which that city ID
being rebuilt: sLet me see" said Chicago
boss mason refectiyely, to burned-out
merchant, .'have got to put up olock lor
Brown this morning, and dwelling mouse

Some OF the religious papers are discus
sing the question of centre aises IN churcnes.
one correspondent says: That aisle running
down the centre is an impertinence-a oiun-
der. The preacher ought TO open his eyes
upon the bulk OF his hearers, seated right be-
fore the pulpit, and not look straight out upon
a blank epace. The subject Ia worthy the con-
sideration of all students Of church architec-
ture.
= Our Western Indians were long supposed
to be the greatest experts at torture, but the
Chinese, 1t seems, are more advanced IN this
fendIsh capacity. A court at Hong Kong
lately condemned criminal to be killed by
wakefuluess. The culprit, strong and
healthy man, was kept awake constantly for
nfteen DAYS, his suffering for the last few
hours being of the most e1crucatlng charac-
ter. At last be dropped down and the heart
ceased TO beat. Roasting alive is mercy
compared with such torture.
There appears to be panic IN peanuts az
Norfolk, Virginia. The market tsays the Jour-
nsl) is in an unsettled and disorganized state.
,pThe efforts Of holders have been great, and
the commission men do their duty manfnly
for the interest OF their consignors, leaving no
atone unturned to find buyers and customers
for their goods, bravely defending against
any decline, which is to lheiricredit." The
paper complains that it has been criticised 10
no unmeasured terms for giving correct re-
port, confnlng it to actual fats. The "bulls"
In peanuts are down on the Journal. But
the trouble in peanuts, 1t explains, Is simply
this: Nobody can get profit out OF them,
and the reason is, 1t seems, that Ito nurse and
fight over q fancy article for an uncertain
time on q speculation requires more margin"
All of which sounds very comical when grave
" written of peanuts, but the further state
ment that the receipts of that article for the
preceding week have been 1898 bags, shows
that In Norfolk peanuts are merchandise not
to be treated with disrespect.
Rome is vastly agilated over the dlscov-
cry Of the body Of lady, which the Tiber
yielded up near the Ponte Mole, one evening
early in the present month. The victim was
young and richly attired. The discovery was
made By fish vender, who straightway gave
an alarm and summoned the proper authorl-
ties and the pale-faced citizens to the spot.
In the bosom of the unfortunate lady was
plunged dagger with diamond studded hilt,
and faint stream OF blood was discernible on
the silk dress. PrCtuse black curls hung dis
hevelled over the shoulders and face, and on
plain white collar pinned to the dress below
the dagger-wound was written In blood the
terrible word, VENDETTA" A short ex-
animation was sufficient to establish the
lady's identity, and 1t was then discov-
cred that che was the Princess Calarina
dl ChigI, one of the most beautiful and bril-
liant of the Italian bellies. She has been alb
sent from her parents palace for some DAYS
previously, but pride had forbidden publica-
,1ion of the fact. The cause OF the tragedy Is
supposed to be explained by the fact that she
was betrothed to Prince Erberto Giuglo, who
loved her madly; but at last her feelings un-
derwent religious change, and she deter
mined to enter convent and take the veil.
This determination aroused the Prince to such
pitch OF frenzy that 1t Ia considered almost
certain that he murdered the one he could not
marry.
That tough outlaw, Hildebraud, announces
his fourth demise. He perlshed this time in
Southern Illinois, by the pistol of an aveng-
Ing policeman. According to the veracious
account, Hdebraad and his baud of cut
throats, on Tuesday of last week, crossed the
Mississippi and entered Illinois, intending 10
travel quietly across the peninsula between
the Missisappi and Ohio Rivers and finally
take up their abidlng-place in Western Ken
tucky. On Thursday the party made Its ap-
pearance in PinckneyviIle, Perry County,
where, being unknown, they felt themselves
secure from pursuit. On Friday the party
became drunk and noisy, fourlshing their
weapons and threatening to create a cor,
ner in funerals. At length Hildebrsnd, be-
coming separated from The rest. was over
powered by numbers and secured, together
with six knives and two pistols. An officer then
started with him towards the office Of The police
