"A Remarkable Curiosity.

HENRY RUICK, d farmer residing in
North Canton, brought to Hartford
to-day two flat pieces of stone, of IL
regular shape, and about twenty-five
inches square, on one of which is the
impression of mans left foot and
two bird tracks, and on the other the
same marks in relief, as though a
casting had been purposely made. The
stones are of the soft muddy forma-
ton found in many places on the
banks of the Connecticut River, of
fine texture, apparently mud mingled
with small grains of sand, and have a
similar thickness of about two inches.
They tit together perfectly, yet were
separated without any exertion or pry-
ing when lifted from the place where
they were found. The depression of
the foot of the man is about an inch in
depth, with all the toes and shape of
the bottom of the foot distinctly
shown, and Immediately at the sides
the surface is raised above the general
surface as it naturally would be where
person stepped on soft mud. The
length Of the foot is eleven and one
half inches, and the width at the ball
of the foot four and one-half inches.
The bird-tracks are two in number,
In direct line with the mans foot,
six or eight inches to the right, and
the impressions are about one-third of
an inch in depth and very distinct.
They are of both the right and left

wooden suits are also made by this de-
sign, and trimmed with the gay cardi-
nal facings, or else merely with self
colored velvet.
The Boiteuse fashion of having the
sides arranged differently is more liked
than ever. A new design of this sort
has folds beginning high ON the right
side under long-looped bows, crossing
diagonally to the left foot, and
trimmed straight up the first seam on
that side from foot to belt with gal
loon or pleatings; the fullness then
begins afresh, and is caught to the
middle of the back, where it is but
toned over the pleated train of the
lower skirt. r.a- .r - -. ~.
Pale linden-green, cream-color,
celeste blue and rose pink are the col
ors most often imported for evening
dresses. Many of these are trimmed
with rich embroideries on the gar
ment, or else applique borders of
needle-wOrk. The quantity of fine,
narrow knife-pleatings of silk and of
lisse exceeds any ever before used.
The floral garniture is elaborate, con-
sisting usually of a thick garland worn
around the hips and passing down the
middle of the back, Or else of garlands
of different sizes placed at opposite
angles on the sides. Foliage plants,
especially the dark red colors, are used
for trimming dresses of pale blue or

SaIutarY Stimulation.

When vital action is sluggish, stimu-
liant, provided it be pure and properly medi-
Gated, is the most reliable agent for inn
parting the necessary impetus TO the semi
dormant organs, accelerating the languid
circulation and averting the maladies to
which functional inactivity gives rise. Physi.
clans who have employed Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters in their practice pronounce it the
most salutary tonic stlmulant they have ever
used, and especially commend it as a RENE
dy for torpidity of the bowels, liver, stom-
ach and kidneys, and as resuscltant of
vital energy. The medicinal value of the
Bitters is due to the fact that with their
basis of pure old rye are combined, in per-
feet chemical harmony, the best restora-
tive and life sustaining elements known
to medical botany. The Bitters never dete-
riorate in the most unfavorable climates.

tends back, and has been known to
Mr.. Ruick for forty years past. 1t is

Of hills in the eastern part of North
Canton, and several miles distant from
the Connecticut River, within two or
three miles of which, on. both sides of
the river valley, fossil bird-tracks have
been found in great numbers. While
fossil bird-tlacks are plentiful in the
Connecticut Valley, there have been
but few instances of the finding of the
tracks of human beings, and even the
best found at the Portland brown
stone quarries, opposite Middletown,
are said to be less perfect than the one
above described. Mr.. Ruick has re-
ceiyed an offer of 800 for the two
stones, but, up to this afternoon, had
not accepted the offer Hartford

The Commission recommend some
modlficatlon OF the law which permits
the carrying of arms. Some authori-
ties counsel a general disarmin-: but
Gen. Casanova declares that this would
amount to leaving honest per-
sons without the means of defense"
The report then considers the thefts.
assaults, and murders perpetrated. in
the open country, against which the
military patrols are powerless. ssThev
can never equal the agility and craft
possessed by these bands of brigands.
These are like eels, changeable in num-
bels, in chiefs and habitual residence.
A few and well-known chiefs recruit
their satellites for every occasion,
and when the crime is committed they
remove to a distance, return to their
fields, and enroll themselves in another
band. Pursued, they dispense, con-
ceal themselves, or reassemble in
another province. Their horses are
better adapted to these flights, and
their co7adottieri are well experienced
in every lurking place, every cavern,
every dwelling house. The military
force either arrive late or fall into
some snare" The crime of cattle
lifting. called the Abigeato, is described
as special aud characteristic of
Sicilian criminality. Frem 1885
to 1S47 the Abigeato formed a sect.
which dispatched to the markets of
Algiers whole troops of horses, cattle
and other animals which had been car
ried off from the vast and desert pas
turages of the interior. In
1S4S the Bourbon Government revived
the institution of Comp0gnie o. Armi,
holding them responsible for thefts:
but these men agreed with the thieves
for the ransom, and with those who
were robbed for the restitution of their
goods. so that the influence
of official brigandage became high,
feared and almost respected by pop
ulation educated in such a school,"
Such is the picture offered us by the
Commission of Inquiry of the social
condition of many parts of Sicily-not
in times past, but in the present day;
and any Government, more especially
that actually in power, will have
difficult task to introduce anything
like order. [ say the present Govern
ment especially, for when in OPPOSE
ton it ignored many of the facts now
brought to light, and condemned as I'M
necessary the seventies that were
used.-Naples Cor. London Times

shining store, and let its brilliancy IL
Illuminate your path.
Let me tell you about my Yankee
washerwoman, who supports herself
and children by hard labor at the
Wash-tub, but never complains-never
murmurs, and although she is the
poorest of the poor, and washes for
those who are surrounded by many
comforts and luxuries, she never was
known to ask for so much as a pail of
milk.
She is often at the door before any
member of the family is stirring, and
always greets me with a pleasant
"good morning. and a bright smile;
and if the weather is not propitious,
and | express my fears about it, she
says:
Well, ma am, never you mind; I'll
hang out all the clothes anyway; a
good rain'll only whiten EN-
Left widow five or six years ago,
with four boys and two girls, she has
managed to keep them from the Poor
house, although she does not own even
the roof over her head Her bows
work out in summer, and go to school
in winter, while the girls take turns
in working by the day or week, and in
keeping the house, and nearly every
day out of the six, the mother washes
or irons, or cleans house, and her daily
wages added to the small amounts the
others earn serve ''to keep the wolf
from the door, Of course, 1 do not
think her case is a peculiar one; far
from it, for all over the land women's
hands are forced to toll early and late
to feed the mouths dependent upon
them. But the strong point in the
wOman's character is her ability of
making the best of things, with a
spirit of cheerfulness and content
ment that oftentimes fairly shames
me.
Ii | ask her what provisions she has
made for the winter, she will reply:
Well, [ dunno, a'am; We'll get
along some way. Ever since he died,
we've he'd something to wear and to
eat. My boys'll pick up potatoes this
month, and take their pay in 'em;
that'll go great way. Then they'll
husk corn, and get a few bushels for
that. Boiled potatoes and Indian
meal buildings are good enough to
keep one warm. Never you fear but
We'll git along. | tell 'em folks that's
willin' to work never need go to fret
tin about what's to come of 'em. I've
never seed the day that [ hadn't any

Crime in Sicily.

THE report of the Commission OF
Inquiry into the State of Sicily con-
tinues to be published in fragments,
and shows the existence of social
condition in some parts of the island
which justifes any representations
that have been made to you in past
years. CAS- to the crimes of blood, "
says the report, sit is clear, that a
preventive police has little to do. A
man offended by another meets him
on the road, draws his revolver
AID kills him. He stations himself
behind wall or at the foot of an
orange tree, with a sporting gun, and
when he sees his enemy approaching,
at five PAGES distance plants bullet in
his head; or he has dispute with his
enemy in sulphur mine, a wine-shop,
or on the road, and, after moment of
quarreling, plunges a dagger into his
heart. What can a preventive police
do in such cases? In Sicily these
crimes are more numerous than in
other parts of the Kingdom. Sicily
approaches nearer to the burning
sands of Nubia than other parts of
Europe. In Sicily there is hot blood,
imperious violence; to, carry and use
arms is more than an instinct,-it is a
passion; the islander will settle his af-
fairs himself, and believes that he can
not trust the satisfaction of his ven
geance to the law. His own arm must
hasten it, and sometimes, even worse,
it is the arm of others. A man in
respectable condition is reproved by
the director of an asylum for remov-
his daughter before the time estab-
lished by the regulations. Enough.
Two assassins are hired to murder him.
A respectable youth in Monreale has
quarrel with another of the same age,
and they come to blows. The father
of the one rushes into the street with
a revolver, the father and brother of
the other do the same, shots are fired,
and three persons are wounded. In
Palazzo Adriano the Syndic refuses to
give certificate of morality to a man.
On the following evening the man
him, and seeing him seated
his door, shoots him dead.'
Every one carries arms, the pe7'messo
is scarcely ever refused, and the infu-
ence of the Malta is sufficient to com
pei such concessions. "Gen. Casanova
says that priests carry the revolver;
that young gentlemen carry it in their
pockets when they goto a ball; and the |
Captain of the Carbineers in Trapani |
declares that the revolver is carried by
persons in the Casino, in theaters, and |
at the lectures in the Lyceum. At |
youths of fifteen years of age
carried these dangerous arms" In
such districts, therefore, law has no
force; every one is law to himself,
and existing regulations supply every
one with the easy means of gratifying
vengeance
