Religious Mania IN Italy.


The religious mania which ragged
some months back in the province of
Udine, in Italy, appeared to subside
for a time, but it again broke out after
the ceremonies of Holy Week. The
number Of people /" possessed lately
has been thirteen, the chief one a
handsome girl. by name Veronica
Paschina, who has been daily inspired
to pour form a torrent Of words in
Friulian dialect mixed with bad Ital-
ian and dog Latin, while her father
stood by, bible in hand, to interpret
the utterances Of his daughter. Fol-
lowing her example, the other girls Of
the place gave u~tterance to strange
words, which were supposed to veil
some prophetic revelations, and no
doubt in time the whole district would
have become affected by this hysterical
religious mania but for the intervcn-
ton Of the government. A company
Of soldiers was sent down from Udine,
who occupied the village, aud under
their protection the police removed all
those who had given signs Of posses
sion without doing harm TO any one.

Miss Fannie Weatherford, ofScotts-

S. Copon. The bride is a lineal de-
scendant of William Weatherford, the
famous half-breed chiefof the Musco-
gee Indians, and the ally Of Teeum-
sch. Captain Marchand, who was
killed by his men at Fort Toulouse, in
1722, left a child by Lehoy, a Musco-

Wind. This child Lehoy Marchand
became the wife of Captain Tate, a
British officer. Weatherford was a
son Of Tate and the third Princess
Lehoy. When a young man he estab-

CONVENTION TALK.

The st. Charles Hotel rotunda Is beginning
to take once more that air OF hustle and COM
motion which it was wont to wear in times
when political excitement ran high, and It
was the resort of all interested In the success
OF either Of the political parties In this State
The few delegates to the convention now In
the city gathered there last night, but al
Though the situation and the matters of In
terest to be brought before the convention
were discussed, there were no points raised or
assertions made on which prediction as to
the probable action OF any OF the delegates
present could be based.
As q matter of course the question of seal
ing or repudiating the State debt was dis
cussed, and it was suggested that IL those
who favored either OF these measures failed
to carry them through In direct issue, that
they might, perhaps. accomplish their pur-
pose by inducing the convention to omit
making any provisions for the interest, and
thereby force the holders OF bonds into the
courts, and compel them to establish their
right to be paid interest.
1t has been suggested that to secure full
vote OF the people OF the State ON the consti-
tuition 1t will be necessary to have q general
election for State officers at the same time,
and the idea is generally received as one well
worthy OF consideration, and 1t Is gradually
but surely gaining favor.
It is expected that q large number OF dele
gates will arrive In the city to-day, and ii
these expectations are realized there will
probably be q caucus this evening.

The delay of the British advance upon
Kabul by defective transport, and the
now generally believed report of the
Ameer's completely in the massacre,
have emboldened the Russian press to
wax ferociously anti English. One lead
ing journal proclaims that .now is the
time to deal England deadly blow in
Central ASIA" while another suggests
that. as the price of Russia's recognition
of the British hold upon Kabul and
Kandahar, Herat should be transferred
to Persia, and Russia's advance on Merv
facilitated by slice of territory south
of the Attruck. Persia being complete
ly under Russian control, this would
imply the transfer to Russia of both
Merv and Herat, the keys of Northern
Afghanistan. But, despite the vaunt Of
the st. Petersburg News that 100000
brave Russians" are sufficient for all
that Is required, Russia, ill.prepared as
she is. will probably trust to her secret
intrigues, and to the belief of the natives
that she is stronger than England, rather
than risk an actual collision nearly

every man Of the jury. Why, then,
this verdict of acquittal? 1t is either
because the members Of the jury did not

THE HARVEST FESTIVALS.

Now come the harvest festivals-the
agricultural, stock, and Industrial shows
that offer to public inspection the results
of skill and toll in the fields and shops
of the country. They occupy most of
the present month. and may continue in
the next. Of their usefulness in various
respects there is no question, and of the
welcome which they receive from the
people, none can doubt that attend them.
The general and local Fairs are now es-
tablished institutions, and they contrib
ute largely to that progress in agricul-
ture and the industrial arts which is
characterizing the times in which we
live. Stimulating to the production of
the best results of skill and toll, they
also constitute centers of social influence
that conduce much to the pleasures of
life. On these occasions, the people
mingle with each other in most delight
full and useful ways-the young and the
old-the hardy field-workers and the in
door toilers with hand and brain, meet
ing each other on common platform to
inspect and award the need of honor to
the best. Of course, there are evils at
tendant upon Fairs, as there are in all
else, for where upon the earth is there a
good without bad thing? 1t is vain
to exact perfection in provisions for and
incidents to these occasions, as it is in
all else human, but that in general tn,
managers of these institutions intend tt
bring each anniversary as far up TOWARD
the standard as may be in their power
it is the part of candor to readily con
cede. No better show of rural life, skill
and toll can be found in the world thar
those of New England, and they wei
deserve the attention and patronage o
all christian and patriotic men ant
women of the land. The railroad facil
tiles for travel are now such that abou
