For the last six years the brigand
Soaliae has been the terror Of CAlabria
on account of the boldness aud cruelty
with which he has carried out bis plans
Of murder aud plumber. While Gabriel
II, police official, was at Gagliano
about the Let OF July he learned through
spies that the rObber chief was then At
the house OF one Maria Rossilla, bis
mistress aud accomplish, in Giurigliano,

police officer took six soldiers with him

gendarmes Of the village we're also called

Scalise appeared at the window and
opened FIRE on his pursuers, who re-
sponded with two shots which struck
him in the head. He sprang back and
ran over the roof Of the house TO that Of
a neighbor, q village official, in the gar
ret OF which he intrenohed himself
While the captain Of the gendarmes
directed the outside operations, four
men forced their way into the house.
Two Of these-bersaglieri. or rihemen-
stormed the room which served the
brigand as a fertilization, but they fell
dead, pierced through by balls from
Scalise's revolver. A third man was
wounded. None Of the besiegers would
now venture IL the house, aud il was
determined TO set it on fire. This was
DONE and the brigand. seeing escape

Catanzaro, but as he attempted to es-
cape while on the road, his guards were
obliged 10 fire on him, and he was
brought in n corpse. A broad scar ON
his body showed where he had been
wounded in former light between the
royal troops and eleven robbers uHder
his command. He had been cured Of
this wound in the open hospital at
Giurigliano. lie was only thirty years
old. lie had handsome figure aHd
manly features, which bespoke unusual
courage and energy of will. Desire for
revenge, which has dyed the plains Of
Calabria with blood as often as il has
those Of Corsica, first impelled him to
choose the forest as his home. His
father, a gloomy aud defiant old man,
had encouraged him to do so, and the
memory Of his brother, who, as n bandit,
had fallen in n fight, acted from addi-
tional incentive.
Even the bloodiest stories" says the
Giornale Calabrese, take here a roman
tic coloring. One should look at the
bandits jacket and notice how lavlshly
il is adorned with silver embroidery on
velvet and with four rows Of silver pieces
for buttons. Then, too, Maria Rossilla
is very charming apparition. She has

root out brigandage in Calasria will be

country people and the brilliant and lux

the glowing Imagination of the people
throws a halo of power and glory.

Jane Eyre.
From the cornhlII Masarlne.l


Jane Eyre is an autobiography, and
its intention is to present a plain, un-
BIASED narrative of woman life from
its commencement to period when it
is supposed TO have ceased 10 possess
interest to mankind generally. 1t is
told fearlessly, and with burning pen.
But there is no suppressio veri; that, its
author would have scorned; perhaps it
would have been better for its reception
in some quarters-limited in range we
are happy to thnk-if the narrator Of
the story had CLOSED over some portions
of her heroine's history. She has
chosen, however, to adhere to stern real
ity, and there it is finally for us, unpleas
ant and rough though it be in some of its
recorded experiences. The book shows
the most opposite qualities-light, dark
ness; beauty, deformity; strength, ten
derness. Its pathos is of the finest quail
ity, stirring most deeply because it is
simple and enforced. The situations are
very vivid several scenes being depicted
which it would be impossible to eradicate
from the memory after the most extern
sive reading Of serial literature. Even
those who regard it as coarse must admit
its strange fascination. 1t was a book
that could afford to be independent of
criticism, and accordingly we find that
before the reviews appeare j, anxious and
continuous inquiries respecting it began
to be made at the libraries. There
was not much fiction being written
which fixed the public eye, and the
issue of this novel almost created an
era. Forgotten now is the savage
criticism of the reviewer who said Of the
author of Jane Eyre, She must be one
who for some sufficient reason has long
forfeited the society of her sex, while
the work which bafiled his Judgment, but
earned his vituperation, still remains,
momento of real genius which could not
be suppressed. Although chiefly re
markable for its prominent delineaton
of the passion OF love in strong and i'm
pulsive natures, there are many other
points which are noticeable about it, and
should. therefore, be mentioned. The
keen observation of the writer is mani
fest on almost every page. Intense
realism is its chief characteristic. The
pictures are as vivid and bold as though
etched by a Rembrandt, or drawn by
Salyatar Rosa.

To the Editor of the Ledger:
We are all as cool and comfortable out
here as we wish to be; and although not
here assembled in pursuit Of that vola-
tile essence, pleasure, but rather to renew
",vis vita" wasted in pursuit of business,
STILL let me assure you, we are by no
means dull. On the contrary, we are
rather gay, as two balls per week must
prove. But on Friday of this week the
grand ball of the season comes off. The
ball room Of the Grand Hotel is now
nearly ready for the occasion; an ele-
CANT floor has been laid and in day or
two the work will be finished, and this
splendid room ready for the festive
night.
The arrangements and management OF
this ball ore in the hands of gentlemen
who are sure to make it n success.
Such a crowd as they, with our Colonel
Donovan for leading or heavy man, will
draw, has never yet assembled in Ra-
leigh.
The finest bands (Handwerkers and
TayIor's) have been engaged-so the
dancers will be served with music un-
surpassable
The supper will be managed by Mr..
Doutaz, whose skill in this business is
we'll and most favorably known; so the
eaters will be served to their perfect sat
isfaction.
The committees are determined to
make this a really grand affair, and one
TO be long and fondly remembered for
thorough enjoyment and the absence Of
any and everything that might possibly
hurt the incest sense of propriety and de-
corum. Raleigh is in culver of prepa-
ration and anticipation, and there is no
doubt but the ball will be truly delight
full and grand affair.
Tickets for gentleman and lady, So;

you to the ball and supper table, and

Raleigh. Special trains will be run on
Friday evening, leaving the Louisville
depot at 7 pm. and $3.50 p. m. returning,

House, Michael McKeogh, you may be
sure, will be fully up to the require
ments Of the night, and ready for all of

A baltimore FishermRn's EncOun-
ter with IA shark.

From the Baltimore American, July Is
Yesterday morning while a party Of
fishermen we're hauling seine in Ches
ter river, Just opposite the mouth OF
Graysinn's creek, they saw number Of
monstrous fish in the seine, and at once
started toward the shore to secure them.
On nearing the land they encountered
so much ssaweed that they could not
land the net, and as the water where
they we're was only about waist deep,
two of the party, James Green and
James McCann, both of this city, jumped
overheard and began taking up the
seine while the rest OF the patty pulled
il into the yawl. Nearly one half of the
seine had been taken in when suddenly
the water was dashed to foam by what
seemed to be a school of monstrOus fish.
The men grew excited, and Green waded
out several yards for the purpose Of
belding the net down to the bottom.
Just as he took hold of it, his left leg
was seized by shark aud. he was
dragged under the water, and a terrible
struggle ensued between tie man and
the shark. Green's companions were so

time and gazed with horror at the terri
bic scene. In a few moments Green
came to the surface and uttered a cry
for help. This aroused his friends, and
thew went to his assistance. when the
shark reiterated further into the depths
Of the seine. Green was taken into the
boat insensible, aud remained so for
some time. The shark had caught the
calf of his LEFT leg aud completely
stripped the flesh from above his knee
down TO his foot. he was bleeding pro
fusely from several OF the larger arteries
that had been severed. Mr.. McCann
knew enough about surgery to bind bis
handkerchief tight around the maugled
limb. and prevented his bleeding 10

TO the city about noon and removed 70
