A STARVING PEoPLE.-M. Deschamps
du Marion thus describes in O recent pub
location the misery of the people of Loreto,
o city and district of Italy, which were
formerly so flourishing. "No one can inn
agine, unless he has seen it, the misery
are literally dying of hunger. Some nuns,
o few days since, received present of q
barrel of salt fish. Wishing to give some
of it to their friends, they took q quantity
to the house of family of peasants who
few years before were in such affluent cir
cumstances that they were able to make
gifts to the Dunnery, to which these Sisters
belonged. The nuns on arriving ut the
house we're surprised to find the door closed.
On entering they found the family in bed
dying of starvation. They gave them
some Of the fish, which they found it hard
to prevent them from devouring in o most
dangerously voracious manner. They had
been three days without bread. Another
instance related to the writer occurred but
o few days previous to his arrival in Loreto.
A proprietor went to visit some of his ten
ants. To his horror he found them starv-
ing. He returned home and Immediately
ordered a supply of maize to be given to
the sufferers. Unfortunately their stomachs
were too feeble to digest even such simple
food as this, and seven of them died with.
in a few hours of each other, medical aid
proving ineffctual. Cases of this kind are
quite common in this part of Italy. Every
one attributes it to the enormous taxation

Tuscany, if the Government were in the
least degree provident, the sufferers in the
Romagna ought to have been amply pro.

Wonderful is the ingenuity of advertisers.
In Boston a tea company placed in front of it's
store a huge copper tea-kettle, and, as it ex-
cited attention from the popularity of it's
Dimensions, guesses were invited as to the
quantity of water it would hold, and prizes
offered to the shrewdest guessers. On New
Years the public test was made in the presence
of thousands of people. Before filling it with
liquids, eight boys and n man were one by one
removed from the kettle, much to the wonder
rnent of the excited crowd. 1t was found by
official measurement that the capacity of the
utensil was 227 gallons. 2 quarts, pint, and 3
gills. Thirteen thousand estimates were SUBJ
mitted, eight of which came within three gills
of the exact quantity, and q number of others
within five gills. The nearest guessers were
rewarded with five pounds of tea each, the
others with @ supply of coffee. The first thou
sand of estimates received averaged 114 gal
Ions; the last Thousand, 1S1 gallons. Some
one hundred and twenty persons (born out of
New England, we may be sure). theught it
couldn't hold more than ton gallons, while five
confident people were willing to stake their
hope of tea and immortality on the assertion
that it could stow away three Thousand. Of
course the kettle excitement induced other
dealers to make kindred exhibitions drug

Dominic Thomas Campbell of GLASGOW,
was one day watching carpenter making
repairs in his house. The carpenter whist
led "Maggie Lauder" as he worked and
worked in time to the>tune. "Sauners,"
said the dominic presently, "can ye no
while ye're at work ." "Ah, well, minis
ter, if it be your will I'm cen do it," said
Sauners, and changed the tune to the
"Dead March in Saul," still planning away
in time with his music. The dominic
looked on for some minutes in silence, and
then said: tSauner, haze anither word to
say till ye Did the guide wife hire We by
the days darg or by the job 2" ..The days
darg was oar agreeing, minister" Then
on the whole, Sauners, I think ye may just

THE PILOT FIsH.-This fish is seldom
more than eighteen inches long, but it is
extremely beautiful, being streaked trans
versely with blue and yellowish brown, the
effect produced by these colors being very
pleasing to the eye while the fish is in the
water, though they lose much of it when
taken out of the water. These fish are
often seen in small shoals swimming i'm
mediately ahead of the shark, or near him.
When a bait is thrown out for the shark
they cluster about it, without attempting
to nibble it (; but by their motions to and
fro seem to guide the shark towards it,
whence they obtain the name of pilot Ash.
When in company with the shark, they
seldom take the small hook but, when
they have lost this companion, OF follow q
ship, either singly or in shoals, they some-
times bite and are caught. They are the
most delicious eating the ocean affords, and
have nothing of the dryness of other sorts
of fish.

LOOK ON THIS PICTURE, TEEN ON THAT.

Lieut. Gen. Sheridan to the Secretary of War,
dated Headquarters Military Division of Mis-
souri, New Orleans, La, January s, 1872:
think the terrorism now existing in Lou
isiana, Mississippi and Arkansas, could DO en-
tirely removed, and condolences and fair dealing
leaders of the armed White leagues. If Com
gress would pass o law declaring them ban
ditti, they could be tried by military commits
sion. This banditti, who murdered men here
recently at Vicksburg, Miss, should, in Justice
to law and order, and peace and prosperity Of
this southern part of the country be punished.
It is possible that If the President would issue
further action need be taken except that which
would devolve upon me.
Major Gen. Winfield s. Hancock's General
Order No. 40, on assuming command of the
Fifth Military District, dated New Orleans,
La, November 90, 1867:
The General commanding is gratifed to
partment It will be bis purpose to preserve
this order of things. As q means to this great
end, he regards the maintenance of the civil
authorities in the faithful execution of the
laws as the most efficient under existing cir
cumstances.
In war it is indispensable to repel force by
force, and overthrow and destroy opposition to
lawful authority. But when insarrectionary
Hshed, and the civil authorities are ready and
willing to perform their duties, the military
power should cease to lead, and the civil adj
ministration resume its patursl and rightful
dominion. Solemnly impressed with these
views, the General announces that the great
principles of American liberty are still the
lawful inheritance of this people, and ever
should be. The right of trial by jury, the
habeas corpus, the liberty of the press, the
freedom of speech, the natural rights of per-
sons, and rights Of property, must be pre-
served.

A Protestant English paper thus mourns
ever the destruction of devotion to the
saints-one of the achievements of the
Reformation over which there has been in
Protestant lands continual rejoicing:
The Friend Of India, noticing that while
pilgrimages are growing out of favor in
the East, they a,e yearly becoming more
popular in the West, makes the following
just and sensible remark on devotion to
the saints: "That saints have ceased to
be admirable for most English, people is a
fact over which we do not altogether re-
joice, for the lives led by many men like St.
Bernard must have had no small degree of
sublimity about them. One thing we would
unhesitatingly advance, that the men who,
standing by the tomb of such an old world
worthy, can yet feel NO reverence for him
and his work, must have a valuable part of
his nature undeveloped. The old saints
were men with many failings, but still they
were valiant, patient, undetermined crea-
lures full of love for God and man. They
were heroes of their day and generation, and
the present epoch now and then give signif-
can't hints that it is not quite dead to their
heroism. For instance, we still call our
churches after them, and our favorite pros.
momina for children are names which were
borne by them, and have thus been conse-
Grated for all succeeding centuries"

CHARAcTER.-Not two leaves in the fer
est are of exactly the same form aud texture.
No two grains of sand taken from the sea-
shore or the great African desert are iden-
tical in bulk and outline. Even the two
drops of water the most alike in the uni
verse will exhibit some marks of distinc-
ton when submitted to q powerful micro
scope. The law that excludes duplicates
from the visible kingdom of nature is also
law of the moral world. From Adam to
the last man no two races will be found ex-
actly the same and variety in trait and
lineament of human character is as mex
haustible as is mans outward appear
ance. The power which in one mans
moral compositions ardent, demopstrative,
predominant, in another lies dormant OF
dead. The craving which in one breast
concentrates upon itself the whole mind
and will, before its voice can be silenced
or its will appeased, is never felt, scarcely
understood by q being of different or
ganizatiou. The weakness of weak man
is laughed at in scorn by the strength of
the strong moral power and weak pulp
travel side by side, and souls Of fine porce-
lain tremble in the near presence of iron
and granite.

EDUCATING YOUNG AoRoBATS.-AmoDR
"things not generally known" may be the
fact that, in educating boy or girl for
the profession of an acrobat, it is neces-
sary to "crick" or dislocate the limbs of
the young person at a very tender age.
The French National Assembly have, how
ever, just passed a law forbiddiDg the
"crickingn of children under IL years.
