A QUEEN OF BRIGANDs.-Manzi, the
horrible brigand and murderer, has at last
been killed. 1t will, perhaps, be remeu-
bered that he was taken in 1871 and man.
aged to escape. His band had been dis
persed, but he soon succeeded in raising
another, and he has been since that time
more than ever the scourge of the country.
He was surprised by one of the little
bands of soldiery who have been pursuing
him for more than year. A terrible
struggle took place, in which the brigands,
nine in number. were all killed but three.
One of the soldiers was killed and two
wounded. A band of brigands in Cata-
lonia has for its chief beautiful young
woman only twenty years of age. Her
husband was their former chief, aud drop
ped at her side, shot by bersagliere- She
picked up his musket and swore revenge
to his enemies. Soon she became, more
than her husband, the terror of the prov
ince. A rich farmers son of the neigh
borhood, seeing her at fiesta (for the
brigands are never safer than in the midst
OF . crowded village-every peasant is
their defender. afraid to be anything else)
fell in love with her, but she refused to
listen to his suit, and the young man first
stipulating for the life OF Maria, betrayed
the halnt of the band to the government
Maria was imprisoned. The jailer fell in
love with his prisoner, opened the prison
doors to her and followed her to the noun
tains. At sign from the ferocious
tigress, he was murdered as soon as the
band had gathered again about their chief.
Since that time, she has been more cruel
than ever, levies contributions on half the
province, and makes every trembling peas
ant her slave and paymaster. Tue ro-
nance which hangs about the memoryo o
the men of the greenwood tree in old Eagf
land, converting robber into terror to
evil doing misers and . protector to the
poor man. has never had its parallel in

less men, of course, but cruel, fyrannical,
full of low vices and of the 6ithiest and
most disgusting habits. They will gradu.

are their bondsmen, and the country is in

pursuits. Manzi's band were very closely
