II ROMAN YENDETTd,

In Rome last year there was anodel-
girl named Guglia Sctacci, who was
wonder Of beauty among all the paint-
crs and sculptors. Two noted sculp-
tors, who " ere -Ernesto and
Gabriel Bagnagtti-fen desperately in
love with the siren, who was as coquct-
tish as she was beautiful, and the re-
suit was n fierce quarrcl, ill> which
Erncsto was II ldcj af.cr wlf III the
beautiful cause of The tratricidc fled
with young brigand, while the mur-
dcrcr escaped the law only to fall Il
victim to the most racking and mad
drniHg rcmor. e. The image of the
dead brother returned to him in the
guisc of love, rs he had been before the
beautiful Guglia had cstrangcd them,
and his love for the woman turned to
bitter hatred. He conceived what the
Italians believe in as II sort ofsupcrsti-
ton and duty--u rendcitu; that is, Il
sworn vengeance. lie disguised him
self, and. upon the report Of visit to
Paris, frcqucntcd the haunts OF the
thieves and brigunds of Rome, where
Guglia habitually went. lie was not
long in finding her, but it took six
months to persuade her into his resi-
dcncc and win her confidence, which he
did, however, ut last, and under so
perfect disguise that she never s,ls-
pccted who he was. In carrying out
his cendettu he had become poor, and
was obliged to work at wood-cnrving
for Il livelihood. He carved figures Of
saints, and the work was so beautiful
that the saints never waited long for
purchasers. One day Guglim disap-
pcared suddenly, and three days after
ward her manglcd corpse was found in
the Tibcr, but who the murderer was
nobody could even suspect. The
wood-carvcr disappeared ten days
aft, rwa,d, and in his room tic land
, lord found tho blood-staincd garments
Of tho beautiful mode girl, and Il keen
sculptor's tool, With evidences Oh it of
the crime; 50 that it was plain that
Guglia's last friend, the wood.carvcr,
had done it. But where to find him was
the question which no detective could
| answer. In tho meantime thcscuiptor,
who had bccn supposed to be visiting
Paris, appeared in Rome again. ~
month ago, long after the crime had
ceased to interest anybody, an artist
happened to he in the police head
quarters, and noticed figure in wood
Of St. Sebastian, and was so much
strtch pE us pceu'E 'h''' IL: i''i"i'c"
why and how it came it in such a
| place.
"Why," said OH officer, "that saint
was made by the wood-caycr who
murdered the pretty modcl-girl. lie
left it when he ran Off"
"rhcn," exclaimed the artist, "I can
tell you who the murderer is; for III
swear that that figure is the work of
Gabriel Bagnagctti. No other sculp-
tor in Rome could have done it,
Gabricl's rcmorsc had been wiped
out by the accomplishment ofhs ren-
dctta; but no sooner did tho officers
confront him with the figure of st.
Sebastian, and the opinion of the artist,
than he burst into frantic fit of rage
and confessed the crime His artistic
skill had betrayed him through all his
precautions, and by means Of his pat
ron saint.

FoIr Thousand Gums and Half u Million
Cartridges Shipped.

The New York XeroM prints the
particulars of the shipment of four
thousand rifles and half million
cartridges, presumably for tho benefit
Of the Inlus. About u week ago,
Maj. William Tuxcn, of the Russian
army, arrived in New York, in the
steamship britannica and was driven
TO Il hotel on Broadway. Soon after
his arrival he was introduced by one
Of the clerks to prominent gun deal
cr, at his own request. The Mnio ior
and the gun dealer went to the house
OF II large manufacturer, who lives in
Thirty-titth street, and there Il bargain
Was made for the arms and ammunition,
it being expressly conditioned, how
ever, that the supplies should be boxed
up in such way that no one could
suspect the contents. On Saturday
tho Ma ior sailed for Bremen in the
steamer Rhcin, and deep down in the
hold of The vessel were innlmcrublc
boxes Of canned meat and hogshcnds
of machinery, in which he was par
ticula:ly Interested. 1t is his intcn-
ton TO ship these arms and cartridges
direct from Bremen to Dclagoa Bay,
where they will be sold to traders at
an immcM G profit. The Major SAYS
he has bought the stui. for private par
ties, but it looks very much rs If Rus
sia had a finger in the pie. When
asked ii the arms were not for the
Lulus, Major TuXcn said he could not
say that they were not. All he knew
was that Dclagoa bay wasn Portuguese
sctt tlcmcnt to the north of Xululn,ld,
and that ifthc troops saw fiji to sell
arms to the natives in the interior, he
was not to blame for It. lie felt sure
that no one would dare to stop his
goods, inasmuch rs they are going. in q
Legitimate way to n peaceful country.
The arms arc believed to be Of the
best American make, and will, if they
fall into the hands Of King Cctawayo's
soldiers, cause additional havoc among
the British troops now in South
Africa.

The New York Il" Railroads.

Tho elevated railroads in New York
wore a great institution for while.
But after eight or ten car loads Of
people had been held in mid-air in
their iron cage for several hours one
day by the breaking Of piston that
blockadcd the road, and after another
batch had been run into by the engine
OF following train, Gotham got a
littlo scared and the bob-tail horse
cars picked up considerably in traffic.
This touched the pockets Of the rail-
road kings and brought them to terms.
They have now agreed to have no
crossing Of tracks and no switches,
and also to dcadcn all noise. Ono of
the most curious sound dcadcncrs is
now used to prevent the Kissing of
escaping steam. The steam is carried
into drum filed with ordinary glass
beads, and escaping in minute quanti-
tics through holes in tho beads and
the intcrstices between them makes
no noise whatever. The authorities
examined cvo:y patent in England
and America, until they found this in
the office Of the former country. Other
substances have been tried, but
nothing answers as well as the ordi-
nary bead. 1t takes nearly million

TIE JUR0RS' TEST OATH.
The United Ttatcs Supreme Court Decides
tlint 1t Cannot BE Applied OH Voir Dire.

The United TtatcS Supreme Court Decides
TINT 1t Cannot BE Applied OH voir Dire.
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-In the case
OF Burt against Poujaud decided to-day
one OF the assignments OF error in the
court below was brought upon qucs-
ton of jurors disqualification OH
account of participation in the rebel
lion and the constitutionality of tho
jurors test oath act. This court holds,
in tho opinion delivered by Justice
Miller, that juror is 10 more obliged
than II Witness to state on oath as
condition of qualification his guilt or
innocence Of, crime which would
render him infamous whether pardon
cd 10y general amnesty or not. The
crime Of treason is one which the ,ju-
ror cannot be required to disclose in
This manner. If he be guilty, lis cha!-
lcngcr must prove itby other compc-
tent testimony. In II separate concur
ring opinion Justice Field gave his
views as follows: 81 agree with the
Court that the Juror Holmes in this
case could not be required to answer
the questions put to him; but go
further. do not think that the act of
Congress, which, ty requiring II test
oath rs to past conduct, excludes a
great majority Of the citizens Of half
the country from tho jury box, is
va id. IN my Judgment tho act is not
only oppressive and odioua, rcpugnant
to the spirit Of our institutions, but is
clearly unconstitutional and void. AS
a war measure, to be cnforccdin insur-
gent States when dominated by Ma
tionnl forces, the net could be sustain
cd, but after the war was over and the
insurgcnt States were restored to the ir
normal and consti. .tional rcations to
the Union, it was as much out Of place
and as imperative rs would be law
quaitcring a soldier in every Southern
mans house.
MURDER NEAR ELLENToN.-A tclc-
gram dated Ellcnton, April 20, says:
Jordan Green and William Casey left
the lattcr's house OH Sunday evening
for tho home of the former, and spent
the night at the house OF an old negro.
They left for Green's about daylight.
immediately afterwards some negroes
heard s,:ots and heard Casey crying,
"Don't, Jordan, will go anywhere
with you.' Green was thon seen
walking from the direction of tho shots,
much excited.
Tho negroes fastened to the spot
and found Casey dying in a pool Of
blood, shot IN three places, ONO wound
being in tho wrist, ono in tho head,
from which his brains wcro oozing,
and one in tho back, tho ball going
through, below the fourth rib and
soFcring an artery. From appearances
Green had followed him up, beating
him with some blunt instrument on
tho head.
Green then went to his fathers and
went to sleep.
Trial Justice Quilian held an inquest
and tho jury returned verdict Of
death from pistol shots in tho hands Of
Jordan Green. Green is now In Aiken
Jail.
Casey had the appearance of being
q Northern man, bnt claimed to bc
from Nashville. Green is about nine-
teen, and has borne n very good char
actcr. The only reason that can be as
signed for tho deed was Casey's treat
mcntof his wife, who is Green's sister.
Casey has no friends, and was buried
by tho public.

TIE UNITED States Supreme Court
has mildly sat upon his honor (with a
small ~ Bond, in Il matter of inn
portancc regarding the test oath.
During the recent proceedings in
Charleston Colonel McCrndy made the
point that as participation in tho
'rcbcllion" prevents citizen from
exercising the right Of sitting on a
jury, it is to that extent disgrace in
the eyes of tho law, and that the juror
cannot be made to answer the question
whether he participated in the Con-
tcdcratc war or not Judge Bond
ovcrrulcd tho point, and put the
Jurors on their cor dire. The United
States Supreme Court has just decided
in similar case that Colonel McCrady
was right, and that "participation in
the rcbcllion' must be proven by
other evidence. Justice Field says
the test oath is unconstitutional and
repugnant to Republican institutions.

HE OFT RECURRING rlnnor Of Queen
Fictoria's contemplated abdication has
been renewed in Great Britain. If she
contcmplatcs abdication at all, several
good reasons for the step present them
selves at this time. Her Maicsty's
health is quite feeble. Never having
fully recovered from the loss Of Prince
Albert, she has had recently to bear the
aflliction Of the death of Princess Alice,
Of lfcssc, and Of one of the Princess
children, and also of Prince Waltlcmar
of Prussia, another grandson. 1t is
hoped that the visit to Italy, from
which she has just returned, has bcnc-
flied her health; otherwise it is freely
whispered that the crown may ut once
descend upon the head Of the Prince Of
Wales. The English do not relish the
idea much.
