Sc Matilda Caselli "-An Eloquent WO.
man In Naples.

Italy Just toward the close of the mid
die ages permitted to women the free ex-
ercise of distinguished talents. Olympia
Morata lectured publicly in France: the
Universities of Padua and Bologna
gave chairs to female professors: and
the study of medicine, the higher math-
ematics, and classic literature were open
to the sex. Shakespeare's Portia is less
than full type of the accomplished
Italian woman of that day. At this
moment, three or four hundred years
later, Germany, France, and even
England are not much in advance of the
public sentiment which then accepted
such a recognition of woman's capacity /;
while nomOdern university has ventured
to go 30 far. Already in the present gen.
eral development of Italy, the women
are preparing to claim their ancient priv
ileges. A new intellectual activity is
stirring in the sex not only in litera-
ture and art, but also in politics and soci-
Ology, we are beginning to hear softer
voices. The popular sympathy with the
Bulgarians, meetings in Rome
and Naples, no less than in London and
Glasgow, has given the Italian woman
an opportunity which some of them have
seized.
An immense multitude recently as
sembled in the atrium of the monastery
of Santa Maria la Nova, in Naples.
Thousands upon thousands of all classes
of the people were present. The third
speaker was Matilda Caselli, who dis
played such remarkable spirit and elo-
quence, rousing the vast audience to such
uncomfortable enthusiasm, that the re-
naming orations in the programme were
instantly suppressed, and the resolutions
adopted by reclamation. From the re-
port of her speech we find that Miss
Caselli was no less courageous than elo-
quent-but her freedom Of speech is not
more remarkable than the readiness with
which it was received by the audience.
There are still many turbid ingredients
in the life of Italy, and If italian women
are as wise and patient as they are able
and eloquent, they may render noble
service to their country.

While hauling away pile Of ashes
from the street in front of Mr.. Harrison's
residence few days ago, the carman
noticed a suspicious looking box in the
ashes, which, on examination, proved to
be of the most dangerous character. A
piece of string protruded from hole in
the side. On carefully opening the box,
it was found to contain another smaller
box, to which the wicking communi-
Gated, full of powder, and around it were
packed small stones and bullets. The
supposition is that some one buried the
box with intent to do terrible damage,
and the string was fuse made by thor
oughly impregnating 1t with saltpetre,
which led to the outside of the ash-pile,
and would become ignited when live
Goals or hot ashes were thrown upon 1t.
THIS undoubtedly would have been the
case, but, fortunately, no ashes have
been put upon the pile for more than
two weeks. Mr.. Harrison Is unable to
account for the motive which should
prompt such an action, but thinks per-
haps IL may have been the work of two
rouchs who were tipped over by running
two wheels of their buggy upon the heap
about q month ago. At the time, they
swore vengeance, but nothing was
thought of their threats until after this
discovery.

The Death OF q Hero.
fSt. Louis Times.

The first to reach the hotel and the
most prompt to render assistance were
the keepers of all-night houses along
Fifth Street, whose places are particu-
larly numerous in the vicinity of the
Southern. From stalking dollars they
came to stake lives, and the game they
played was one with death. More than
q score of these brave men ran up the
stairs by the ladies' entrance on the
Fifth Street side and penetrated to the
topmost story, bringing down children
and women, only to let them 90 in the
comparative safety of the street. They
returned again and again to the rescue,
and gave up floor after floor only when
they felt sure no one had been over
looked. These men were the last to
abandon the building, and some of them
clung to their life-saving heroism even
when the means of exit was cut of save
by the ladders. One Of these men was
Charles Tienan, partner OF Nose
Labonta, at No 81 South Fifth Street.
Tienan had brought out several women,
and was taking one last look when the
ladder was moved to another window.
He came back to find himself in a peril
GUS situation. The flames were close
behind, and to turn back was to face the
terrors of death from sufocation. So
he crept out upon the window-sill, forty
feet above the stone flags, and sprang for
the ladder. His fingers barely wrapped
the rungs, and then a swiftly falling
object struck the pavement with dull,
dead sound. They picked up all that
was mortal of poor Charlie Tienan, and
carried him back, feet foremost, into the
clubhouse from which he had rushed
forth on his noble mission an hour be-
fore.
Yesterday the body was placed in q
handsome casket, and men came and
went ssftly, speaking reverently OF the
dead. To-day the mass will be raid
over Charlie Tienan's corpse at the
Cathedral, and then his body will be car
ried through the streets to Calvary.
Christian or infidel, saint or sinner can
afford to raise the hat to the dead gam
bler's funeral cortege.
Tienan has friends in Minnesota, who
will be notified of his heroic death, and
the body will remain in vault until
they can be heard from.

Hari Kari-The Dance Before Death.


Some curious details are given by a
Japanese newspaper-the Ichoyd CHM
boun-as to the manner in which some
of the aristocrats of the old school" in
that country, who were condemned to
death for the part they took in the late
resurrection, but who preferred hari-kari
to decapitation, spent the last hours of
their lives. Four Samourai insurgents
of Koumanote, who escaped on the night
of the Oath of October, assembled at the
house of one by the name of Yonemara
for the purpose of ending their existence
by the happy dispatch in his hospit-
able dwelling. Before giving them
selves over to death they gave themselves
over to regular jollifcation-drinking,
dancing and singing as though on a
festive occasion. Their hostess, without
any wish unnecessarily to curtail their
enjoyment, with much tact and good
feeling advised them not to keep up this
revelry too long, as the police could
hardly fail to hear the disturbance
caused by their songs and dancing. They
turned deaf ear to her kindly warning,
and continued to drink and amuse them
selves for the whole day, saying that II
the +" shizohu" arrived they were pre-
pared to fight them. The hours thus
passed pleasantly until sunset, when the
party arrayed themselves in the robes,
which, according to the old Japanese
fashion, are appropriate for the ceremony
they were about to perform, and having
offered up their prayers to the gods,
Z" happily dispatched themselves with
out further delay.

The Bender Family.

A Southern letter says that on March
4, Kansas detectives passed through Ft.
Smith en- route for Kansas, with the sup
posed Bender family, arrested in Craw-
ford County. The family went under
the name of Keofer. They were arrested
by a Mr.. Beard, Of Kansas, q private de-
tective, upon q requisition from the Gov
ernor of Kansas upon the Governor of
Arkansas. Beard is the man who dis
covered the bodies of the murdered
York and others, on Benders place, in
Kansas, in 1872. He followed the family
down the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
to Pierce City, Missouri, and thence to
Fayetteville, but reunited at the house
of old man Bender on Cedar Greek,
where they engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. After satisfying himself "a to the
identity of the family, the detective pro-
ceeded to Kansas, the Governor offered
reward Of $4,000, and reputation for
George Keofer alias John Bender, Lena
Keofer, alias Kate Bender, Mrs. Keofer,
alias Mrs. Benoel, and Philip Keofer,
alias John Bender, Jun. The arrests
were made quietly by the Sheriff, the
only resistance being by Kate who drew
shovel on the detective and attempted
to get pistol, but was prevented from
doing anything. The whole party deny
they are the Benders. All the eircum-
stances are 20 strong that every one in
that locality where the arrests were
made believe they are the real Bender
family. Keofer made q good citizen,
but has rested under suspicion ever since
his residence In Crawford. They came
into the country on foot, one at time,
but the old man soon commenced
buying farms and agricultural implc-
ments, always having plenty money to
pay his way. Since they left Kansas
Kate has become the mother of two
children.

People Who Think About EmIgrating
to California Would DO Well to
Read This.
GSan Francisco Mail. |


To the young man with his hair parted
In the middle who is about to put his
college education and his sole-leather
trunk on California bound train, we
say-stop! To the clever artisan and the
honest mechanic, who thinks he will fly
from the hard times in the East to imag-
mary well paid employment in the
"Golden City," we also say, stop! To
the adventurous rustic, who wishes to
leave hoeing the turnips of some New
York farm to delve for gold in the
mountains of this land of the pioneers,
we emphatically repeat-stay where you
arel
We should be glad to think that there
was plenty and prosperity for everyone
who seeks to settle among us-but, all
the same, there isn't. We do possess
something of an approach to eternal
summer and the gigantic strawberries the
East is 30 tired Of hearing us brag about,
but that is about all. Sooth to say,
double eagles don't grow upon trees in
Frisco; all the new arrivals to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. In plain Eng
lish, the paper that speaks of the mag
nificent opportunities this State presents
to the newcomer, lies, and lies in very
gratuitously criminal way indeed. The
unvarnished truth is that our labor mar
ket is stocked to overlooking, and every
fresh arriving train but adds to the mis-
cradle multitude in our midst, that
awaits, suffers, starves, and finally fights
its way back East again. Before the
door of the employment Office in this
city to-day stands hollow-eyed swarm
that would sadden the heart of satry.
Men of brains and culture, good clerks,
excellent accountants, business men of
undeniable energy, mechanics CT ability,
walk the streets in dumb despair, and
finally take those that lead to the bay
and the morgue. 1t is truly sad that
San Francisco is California, and here all
the misery and suffering of those who
have journeyed from afar to grasp in
mOnotonous repetition the glittering
mirage of fortune are seen. The writer
of this cannot remember one evening
for many that he has not been asked for
coin to buy meal or bed, by men who
would have sooner died on the rack than
have asked for aims in the light of day.
And some of them die on the rack-the
rack of continued disappointment and
bitter misery. Every train that leaves
is crowded with east-going emigrants,
who several times repeat their unhappy
story to the west-coming daily addition
to the army of real martyrs they have
left behind them here. Yet still the Alta
and its like calmly sing the same old
siren song, and still this overcrowded,
overtraded and financially prostrated
is held up with fatal persis-
tence as the proper Mecca of the Amer
lean youth.

The st. Michaells (Md.) Comet says of
Fred Douglass, the appointed Marshal of
the District of Columbia He is we'll
known as native of this part of Talbot
County; was raised here and lived
chiefly here until he ran away and
achieved his freedom. A sister of his
married Peter Mitchell, who lives near
st. MichaePs. Daniel Chancy's wife is
his niece. Douglass belonged to Mr..
Hugh Aud, who lived in Baltimore, but
his brother, Capt. Thomas Aud, had the
management OF him. The latter still
lives, full Of years and high in regard Of
his fellow men. Many are the changes
that have taken place since Fred was
an inmate of his household. Marshal
Douglass intends to visit Talbot County,

The Excavations at Olympia.

The German excavations at Olympia
are proceeding with great vigor on all
sides of the temple site. Among the
sculptures that have been found is the
bust of draped female figure, the head
resting on the left hand, and the left
elbow on the right hand, which is folded
across the bosom. Three fragments-a
veiled female head, warriors head,
and flying woman with exquilite drap-
ery,-are supposed to be from the chisel
of Alcamenes, the pupil of Phydius.
The academy describes the enormous
collection of imperial coins which have
recently been unearthed near Verona,
and announces the extraordinary dis
covery of a colossal terra Gotta vase
under a Roman pavement near the
church of San Francesca, near Bologna.
This vase contained at least ton and
half Of bronzes, hatchets, daggers,
swords, scythes, bits, saws, razers, and
shapeless pieces. DR.. Schliemann's
latest discovery is a ring having an in
women near palm tree by the sea with
the sun and crescent moon rising over
the waters. The most remarkable
treasure-trove of the year comes from
the royal tomb which peasants have
opened near Palestine. On the wall
were hung shields of bronzes, lances,
swords, and daggers; on the floor was
sumptuous funeral couch of wood and
bronze; at the head and feet of the royal
skeleton were bronze tripods and silver
vases beautifully wrought; exquisite
pieces of furniture richly Ornamented
with ivory carved in low relief; gold
cups and vases, and head piece of
solid gold, eight inches by five, with one
hundred and thirty one miniature
statuettes of lions, horses, and chimer@
- the perfection of the. goldsmith's
craft. 1t was probably the tomb of one
of the allies of the Tarquins who fell at
the battle of Lake Regillus.
