A Palace of Silence.

Away up on the hill that overlooks
Naples stands the Carthusian mOnas-
tery of San Marsino. The monks who
once inhabited the glorious palace-for
IL Is nothing less-were men of noble
birth and vast fortune. The church is
now one of the most magnificent in
Italy. Agate, jasper. lapis.laxuli,
amethyst, Egyptian granite and FOSSIL
wood. together with marbles of every
tint, are so blended in mosaics that
line the whole edifice, and the carv-
ings are so rich and graceful, that the
interiors Of some of the chapels seem
like Eden bowers transferred by a mi
racle aud frozen into stone. And in
this spot lived a brotherhood who came
from the first circles of society, and
buried themselves in this gorgeous
tomb. for 1t was little else. The monks
took n vow of perpetual silence, lived
apart, ate apart, and met only for the
unsociaT hours Of prayer, when each
was wrapped in his own meditation,
and no one uttered syllable. Each
one of the little cells where they slept
had small window or closet commu-
picating with one of the corridors, and
in this closet was placed the frugal
meal, which was then taken into the
cell and eaten in solitude. Every quar-
ter OF an hour bell struck to remind

On the 3lst of July, 1875, the Hon.
George a. Pearre of Maryland, deliv'
cred an important opinion in the case
of Baltimore Il Ohio Railroad Compa'
ny VS.. Levi ). Hilleary, regarding the
responsibility ofrailroad companies to.
wards persons travelling on tickets not
The Court held: The railway compa-
ny may refuse to receive n portion OF
u through ticket not used by the party
with whom the contract was made,
and the sale of an unused portion of Il
ticket to II second PARTY, is fraudu-
lent use of Il ticket not contemplated
in the contract. The decision is based
on the ground that iG violates the con-
tract and imposes additional duties,
and increases the risk of accident not
contemplated by the contract. The
learned Judge asks: Does it not
increase or change the risk of accident
to carry three different persons, in
stead ofone all the way through? Might
not an intirm and helpless old woman
be put in the seat of II robust young
man, who could much better take care
of himself or even recover from the
effects of an accident? And the Judge
proceeds: "An0ther very sufficient
reason would forbid such transactions.
1t is well known that all railroad COM
panies charge higher rates of fare for
short distances than for long ones, or
for way tickets than for through tick
cts. 70 allow II passenger to purchase
IL ticket from st. Louis to Baltimore,
ride on it to Cincinnati, sell il, and
the purchaser to ride to Partersburg,
and so on to Cumberland, aud the
fourth person to ride on ii to Balti-
more, would take from the company
the diflernce between the aggregate of
its way fares for four passengers going
from one of these stations TO the other,
and the through fare. Is not this n
change of the contract? And is it not
in fact fraudulent use of ticket not
contemplated by the statute.

From the Dayton Journal

A few nights ago, the inmates of a
certain house were alarmed about mid
night by the lady of the house shout
ing for help, II burglar having entered
her room. A gentleman who occupied
with his wife an adjacent room, being
awake, instantly seized revolver, and
stepped into u hall to intercept the bur-
glar, or render what aid he might. 1t
was so dark that human figure could
not have been seen yard distant, the
rain pouring in torrents, and the situa-
ton generally frightful. Awaiting de-
velopments he discovered in the room
he had Just left what he supposed to be
dark lantern, slowly moving
across the room. He rapid
ly fired twice at the light, which
was extinguiahed at the first shot,
and being unable to determine the re-
suit, called. Who's THEREOF I'M
agine his establishment when his wife
answered, and his CONSERVATION when
he ascertained that she was the target
at which he had been shooting. I'M
mediately, the alarm being given, his
wife had also left the bed and lighted n
match, intending to light lamp, and
it was the burning match which her
husband mistook for the burgler's dark
lantern. Both shots were uncomforta-
bly, near striking her, the last one
dashing the plastering from the wall
into her face. Names and location are
omitted by request, the incident being
related more particularly as caution
against the use of firearms in the
darkness, or in cases of sudden alarm
than for its features as q thrilling in,
cident, that might have been a tragedy.
