BRIGANDAGE In ITALY.
A NObIeman Carried OF and Killed
i'm His AbductOrs' Flight.

in His AbductOrS' thsnt-
Brigandage is SAID to be diminishing in
Italy, but startling crimes are still COM
mitted by banditti, and that too in the
most civilized and thiekiy populated dis
tricts. Since the opening of the railroad
between Rome and Orvieto the latter place
has seemed likely to become the favOrite
resort of travellers and the abode of the
families of many of those officials whom
duty detainS at Rome during the worst
months of the unhealthy season.
It's popularity has been seriously affected,
however, by the boldness of the brigands
which infest the neighborhoOd. On Whit
Monday, as Count Claudio Faina, a we'll
known citizen, was driving home in his
carriage from the Fair of NiterbO, on the
old post-road between Montefiascine and
Orvieto, he was attacked by gang Of four
ruffians with masks, and carried OF to the
neighbOring mountains, where price OF
$4,000 was put upon his head. His daugt-
ter was in Roma at the time, and upon
hearing of his capture lefl Immediately for
OrvietO, probably with the hope OF
saving her father by complying with the
terms Of the brigands. But it was too
late. The unfortunate nObleman was
found dead in field of corn, and IL is sup
posed that his captoFs, closely pursued by
the public force, despatched a victim who
was a hindrance to them in their flight.

ROME.

LONDON, June 23.-A Florence Journal
says the Pope has been presented with a
copy of an address sent from the United
States to Archbishop LedOcllowski, Of PO-
sen. The holy father, in replying, spoke
most cordially of America, and said. 'The
United States is the only country where
am really Pope, in the eyes of the Govern
ment. / am always afraid that European
governments shall oppose or control my
acts, whereas l can freely send pontifical
documents to the United States without
fear of opposition on the part Of its Gov
ernment."
ROME, June 23.-Several persons ar
rested ON Sunday for taking a prominent
part in the Papal demonstration, have been
variously sentenced to Imprisonment foI
six, twelve and eighteen months.

A ST. LOUIS family lately hired a
young man to tend horses, milk cows,
etc. His name was Harry. He had
faxen hair, blue eyes, red checks and
redder lips-he is generally described as
"a plump chunk Of boy" lie gave
great satisfaction. He became a great
favorite Of the household, and especially
the cook, whose heart melted like drip
pings under his influence. But one fatal
day cook made an awful row and gave
warning. A committee of investigations
consisting OF the whole family, after due
inquiry, found out that Harry, who had
stolen cooks heart, should have been
called Harriet. He's young woman, ,,
said the cook sobbing. And so they sent
Harry away, Mary Jane still cooks at
the old accustomed range, and the house
hold is quiet once more.

THE SUTTEE In INDIA.

Everybody knows something about the
suttee, that act of Brahmen superstition.
by which East Indian widows think it
their duty to be burned on the funeral
pyre which has consumed their dead hus
bands remains. The British authori-
ties have not been able, in spite of their
efforts to eradicate completely that bar.
bArous custom, which is still at present
often practiced, especially in remote viii
lages in Central Asia and Rajapootna.-
Ten years imprisonment and fine of 200
rupees on his village were lately imposed
on money-lender in Bikanir, who had
allowed the ancient rite to be performed
In his family. But Hindoos believe very
strongly in metempsychosis, and they
are always spurred by hope Of rising
TO higher state of existence after death,
which they expect to attain by strict
adherence to Brahminese customs
Therefore, in order to avoid, as much as
possible, the vigilance Of the authorities,
they have recourse to a most horrible and
very slow manner Of practising thei- suit
tee ceremonies. AT present, the gen
eral practice in such cases appears to be
that, after the funeral pyro has been more
or less burnt down, the widow should slip
away from her house, perhaps under pre-
tence of going for the customary purd-
cation by bathing herself after death in
the family and seat herself on the smou-
dering heap. If the fire has burned too
low TO consume her, it is enough to ignite
her clothes and lead TO her death, then
or afterwards, from the burns inflicted,
unless she is discovered and rescued i'm
mediately, as sometimes happens More
often, perhaps, some member Of the fam
lily, on coming up and finding the widow
already scorched, will leave her where
she is, adding fuel, if necessary, to the
fire in order to complete an act which lie
may still regard as a religious duty.
