A BISHOPS TROUBLES.

Tho Bishop of Tournay. was recently relieved
from the administration of his diocese. curious
story Is told by the Independence beige OF the manner in
which the three notifications required by the canon
law were delivered to him. First the Nuncio sent
the bishop word that he would dine with him. and
over the dessert he asked him to take cognxanco
of letter which ho then handed TO him.
The Bishop taken aback, but he took the matter
good naturedly. asking the Nuncio however. to dino
elsewhere when he had such matters to communi-
cate in future. The second notification handed
to the Bishop by NJ. Cartuyvcls. of tho Louvaino
University. a personal friend of his. successfully.
There was great difficulty about the third, however
The Bishop had become suspicious. After some
delay Papal Zouavc. persona 9rdtd with the
Bishop, chosen the victim. Proud OF the
honor Of having been selected to carry letter from
the Pope to such man as the Bishop he wendcd his
way toward the palace but the guard rcpused him.
Feeling hurt he betook himself to the cure of one OF
the parishes OF Tournay. and to him tod his sor.
and rcpulsc by tho Bishop. who he said. seemed
to suspect his motives. "Monseigneur received mo
like dog" he exclaimed. He accused me OF being
Ia lcuguo with his enemies. who am tho most de-
voted of his servtors and had the honor to
be tho bearer of letter to him from
the Pope" "a letter from the Pore!' exclaimed
the cure "And Monscigncur would not receive you
He must have been labUring under u msconccption.
I will 20 TO him. Give me the missive." So NJ.
10 cure hurried to the palace where he was received
with open arms, "Ahl you. my excellent cure:
you have come to console your Bishop in the midst
OF his tribulations." "True. Monseisneur. and am
not the only Your trials arc about to end.
A letter from the pe'--"You also q traitor! ex-
claimed the Bishop sorrowfully. Thus the three
notifications were delivered but the Bishop still re-
mained i'll his palace. The question was thon how
to get POSSESSION. The seminarIsts. hearing that
the Bishop had been deposed from his functions as
administrator, refused TO obey him. The Bishop
hastcncd to the seminary, and while he was away
the Nuncio took the opportunity TO have tho palace
occupied. Thus was the Bishop overcome.

ting ready for the day OF tremendous and mex

FUNDS FOR ACTION.
The police took no immediate action upon
this. Shortly afterward Prince Demidotf ana
Marquis Panciatichi, two of the richest Floren-
tines received series of threatening letters,
different in handwriting but identical in tone
100000 were demanded. If they refused
their palaces were TO be burned and their lives
would be in danger Prince Demidoif was bid
den to bury the money at u certain spot in
his park. Marquis Panciatchi was to deposit
it in the Azcglio Garden. Both were to take
precautions that the notes were not spoiled by
the rain. The police, seeing a similarity nf Ian
guage with that of the revolutionary circulars,
traced these letters to the internationalists.
They discovered letter addressed by Matteucci
to Anna Koulischotf, lamenting the want OF
means to arm the society, and adding that it
was determined to resort to extremites. Mean-
while the association had grown bolder. 1t at
tackled the Ministers venomousy. Crispi and
Ncotera Carroll and Zanardelli were assailed
in turn. Circulars were issued exhorting the
people to take arms and recover Trento and
Trieste by force. Letters were sent to the King
that thousands OF Nobilngs were daily spring
ing up around him. Finally the police made
descent on the fraternity at u meeting held ut
Margnole, outside the city limits of Florence,
and tho thirteen were arrested on u charge OF
conspiring against the government. With them
was taken one Raffaello Lombard, suspected of
completely in the attempt to extort money.
AT THE AssIZEs.
T1,o {v;, +1,a q ipfa
est was excited in the city. The authorities
took every precaution against popular demon
stration in the prisoners favor The Kings
Carbineers and the Guardians Of Public Safety
were ranged round the piazza. The prisoners
passed through double file Of soldiers to the
court room. They stood in groups of three and
four and seemed careless of their fate The
two women attracted much attention. The
wife of Pezzi was dressed in gay colors. Anna
Koulischoff is pretty and trim young woman,
aged twenty-five. She read newspaper during
the trial, and kept her face studiously con-
cealcd. The men are all young. Malta, the
eldest, is only thrty-three. Of the less i'm
portant prisoners Martini is by profession u
fencing master, Chit porter, Gomez q
house decorator, Vannini q cabinet maker,
Nicchcri blacksmith, Marzoli o butcher.
and Talchi a printer. Judges Massa, Piero-
maldi and Bomini were on the bench. The
defence of most Of the prisoners was that their
organization was harmless and peaceful one.
Two or three denied having any connection
with the society. They had long and careful
trial, and this morning the jury brought in u
verdict Of ''Guilty" against all but Marzoli,
Tacchi and the two women. The acqnittal OF
Anna Koulischotf has caused no little surprise.

FLORENCE, Dec. 27, 1879.
A case of considerable Importance, both in
what it suggests and in what it reveals, was
concluded to-day in the Assize Court Of the
Piazza San Pancrazio. The Italian government
has struck the first blow at the agi-
tators who, under the name of 'Inter-
national Association of Socialistic WOrkingmen"
(Associazione Internazionale del Lavoratori
Socaisti), arc attacking, to quote the act of ac-
cusation, "all laws of religion, of the family, of
individual property and of the country, in favor
of atheism, anarchy and free love-" Nobody
doubts that the time had come for
severe measures. The communists have
lately obtained much favor throughout
Italy. The great agricultural distress that
prevails has given them their oppor-
tunity. Famine is everywhere imminent.
In Rome Florence and the largo cities people
are dying of starvation. Work is almost inn
possible to be found. The grst tax, lightened
but not abolished, weighs terribly the poor.
The relief works of the new government have
come almost too late. The King. has little of
his old popularity. The outrage committed on
his guards last Tuesday is typical of the popu-
lar discomfort. Life and property were never
more insecure, and the internationalst agents
have never been more successful in winning
partisans to their cause.
AvENGING THE PARIS COMMUNE.
L. M.

lately suspected by the police of conspring
against the government. Among them was one
Anna Koulischof, ayoung Russian, who came
to Florence on the pretencc of teaching Ian
guages, but was known to the police
rs nhlist who had lived in Switzcr-
land with Vera Sallulitch. Her presence
in the house of francesca and Luisa Pczzi in
cupated the latter, and watch was set on
them 1t was found that they, with Francesca
Natta and Florida Matteucci n correspondent of
the socialist organ LAcrenire, were the leading
spirits of the internationalists of Florence,
Sicna, Pisa and Livorna raid was ac-
cordingly made, upon tho houses where
they were accustomed to meet, and
large number OF discriminating documents
were discovered On letter, dated March 13,
1877, was found this conncnt:---"If the people
of Paris instead OF putting their forces in tho
hands of government, had destroyed the
