AUSTRIA put down rebellion after rebel
lion in Italy, but Italy, or most oft, was
redeemed at last. Yet Italy was country
where the people loved order and peace,
and were not kindled to outbreaks by the
unrcasoning impulse of ianaticism. II
Austria could not hold Italy, can she hold
Bosnia? This is n question which could
readily be answered il Bosnia or any Of
the Turkish Mohammedan province had
now, rs Italy had once, the sympathies of
one OF more Of the great European powers.
Ithappens, however, that European senti-
mcnt has no pity to spare for any Of those
distracted Mohammcdan districts where
violence has become chronic and autono-

tons, rs her great preparation for accomp-
fishing it shows.

The Greenback Labor party held a
County.and Congressional Convention at
Charleston last Wednesday, and nomi-
mated county and Congressional tickets,
on which they failed to put single work
ingnan. Contrast their action with that
Of the Republican party in this Congress
sional district at Moundsville. The Re
publican party does not cater to any class
ofsocicty, and takes good man for a can
didate whcreycrit finds him. Itnominated
genuine workingman at Moundsville last
Thursday, and II those who have clamored
40 often and SO loud for such man, now
neglect their opportunity to elect him, and
prefer lawyer and land Spectator Of the
Col. Ben Wilson school, it will not sound
very consistent for them to any longer
talk abOuta workingman's candidate.
The Democracy have nominated lawyers
for Congress in all three Of our West Nir-
ginia districts Wilson in this district,
Martin in the Second, and Kenna in the
Third, whereas the Republicans have NOM
mated Nottingham in this district and
will most likely nominate Col. Latham, a
farmer, in the Second district.

How THEv KEEP Cool IN FRAScE-The
truth is that the best way OF fighting the
heat Is by avoiding il If We wish Ia escape
sunstroke, even III its mtigatcd form OF
languor, lassitnde and drowsiuess, We must
keep ourselves cool: and to do this as it
ought to be done We must take precautions
against the heat before il barSts upon U.s.
Those who wish to know how this can best

Paris during the Sultriest weeks in August.
As soon as the weather demands the change,

well watered with Il hose, and the fro|tei,-

wards, and IL most OF the principal avenues
large trees gratefully cool TIE atmosphere,
and suggest pleasant sort OF lotus-eating
dream OF wood and field Each thorough
fare has Its shady side, and instead of the
repulsive London public ose comes at
very few hundred yards across some little

Says Comely in his recently issre ed work, The
History Of New York State, g The dsy has
passed when the benefactors OF humanity were

sacrifices. their labors, unrecompeused. To-
day, the benefsctrs Of the peCple-the men
who devote their lives end energies to the

II. V. p cree hes won their warmest sympathy
and teem., While seeking to be their servant

the immense fortune lavished upon him by
generous people he boards not, but invests in
the erection and establishment of institutions
directly contribntive to the public good, the
people thus reslizipg in their liberal patron

virtues that ennoble manhood, DR.. P cree ranks

upon their journeys-withered woods,
through which the winds howl and
shrek shrilly, and endless level ex-
panses OF snow, the glare of whose un-
sullied whiteness blinds the traveller.
The solitude Of the vast region is un-
broken, save when the dog sledge with
its peal of silver bells in winter, or the
swiftly-passing boat brigade, resonant
with the songs of the summer Uoydgeurs,
intrudes with its momentary variation
on the shrek of the penetrating
wind, the ripple of the stream, the roar
of the thunder-toned waterfall, or the
howl of the wild beasts of the forests

The National Pawn.ShOps of Italy.

The consul at Florence sends to the
department of state, Washington, an
interesting sketch of the use and work
ing Of the government loan institutions
Monte di Pieta) of Italy. First intro
duced by Bernardo Da Feltri, towards
the close of the fifteenth century, for the
relief of the INDECENT it at once achieved
success.
The first establishment started with a
capital of $2,S91, which increased
through governmental and private boun.
ty to some $38, 900 in 1880. Profit in
excess Of expenses were divided among
the pledgers, or distributed to the city
poor. For four centuries, through po-
litical and social changes of Italy, the
institution has prospered and enlarged
its work of aiding the poor, but not en-
riching itself at their expense.
On the 1st of January, 1876, the op-
erations of the Monte Di Pieta, of
Florence, were greatly enlarged by the
opening of new edifice, especially and
completely adapted for the reception,
storage and sale of pledges. It is in
charge of two stewards only, responsible
under heavy bonds, and appointed for
two years. Business is conducted in
two sections, each for term of two
years, the first year for the receipt of
pledges. and the second for the liquida-
ton of accounts and sale of unredeemed
pledges. Each section is in charge of its
steward, so that the receiver of the one
year becomes the lender the next, and
at the close of the second year his store
rooms are entirely empty, and his bal
ance sheet prepared for submission to
the government, with such accuracy that
the deficit for 1876 was but thirty -four
francs out of the total business of 8, ,800,
900 francs.
The institution is of great utility to
all classes; even the higher social classes
resort to it without hesitancy for relief
from temporary embarrassment, but the
INDECENT are most especially benefited,
the low charges on their pledges not
being enough to defray even working
expenses, in marked contrast to the ex-
orbitant profits of unscrupulous private
pawnbrokers.

The Length Of q Minute, ,

Few persons realize how long minute
is. The New York World relates this OF
a witness who frequently used the ex,
preston, "several minutes:" "Now,
Mr.. Small, said the Judge, "when you
think minute is gone say now ]
will say 'now' when I wish you to be.
gin." Mr.. Small nodded his entire com.
prehension of the plan and looked conf.
dent of his ability to guess well.
"Now," cried the Judge, and in a dead
silence the court waited. The witness
fidgeted about his chair, and, with q
great clock-face staring at him from the
wall, stood the suspense as long as he
was able, and then cried "Now. u
"Just twelve seconds" said the Judge,
amid chorus of laughter.
