The tiendishness of the Italian padrones
Who conduct an infamous traffic in the
slavery of children, does not seem to have
been hitherto realized to its full extent, if
we may believe story which comes from
New York. A blind child found in the
streets in the custody of an Italian beg
gar had, it is said, been purposely blinded
to fit her to excite the sympathy ofpassers-
by, that her mendcant keeper may profit
thereby.

While General Grant was in Constan-

While General Grant was in ConStdn-
tinoplc the sultan made him a .9ift Of
beautiful horse. After his Turkish mai
esty had shown his palace and gardens to
bis guest, he conducted him to his sta-
Ole-. lie ordered his best horses ID be
put on exhibition, and when they had
been sufficiently admired he told the Gen
eral 10 make a selection, taking the
one which pleased him most At first the
General could not consent to it. and
warmly protested against the sutan's
generosity. The sultans minister of war
however, interposed, informing General
Grant if he did not accept the gift his
majesty would be much displeased The
General thereupon selected a dappe gray,
superb in form and having a step that
would light with admiration the eve Of
any cavalier. The caparisons were
brought out and the horse, in splendid
attire, was formally presented to General
Grant.
The murder Of the earl Of Leitrim brought
sharply into view the strained relations
between landlord and tenant in Ireland.
Another evidence was furnished by case
before the County Glare Petty Sessions.
Three years ago a farmer was evicted from
his holding by the landlord. The farm
was then ''interdicted" by the surrounding
tenantry and peasantry. No person took
it for twelve months but meadowing was
put up for sale one year. The man who
bought the hay was shot dead as he was
carrying away the first load, and since then
each successive crop Of hay is allowed to
rot on the ground, and the land is entirely
uncultivated.

\ California miner, whose sluicc boxes
had been frequently robbed, determined
to punish the thieves, whom he had been
unable to detect, and so filling aqucksilver
tank with powerful explosives he placed
it where robbers could not approach the
boxes without disturbing contrivance
for exploding the apparatus and blowing
them to pieces. On the following Sunday
the miner went to inspect the trap, when
he accidentally exploded it and was him
self blown to atoms. He was literally
"host by his own petard.'
