COMPLETE and absolute bankruptcy

thousand houses are announced for sale
for taxes at the instance of the munich
pal authorities. There;is frightful dis
trese, and but for the muni6cence of
Prince Demidof, who supports the soup
Kitchens, many would perish from actual
starvation. Local jealousies obtain 30
strongly in the Italian legislature that
the government, while conscious that
something will have to be done onits part
toward the rehabilitation of the whilom
proud and prosperous home of the Me-
dicis, shrink from introducing measure
which they have too good reason to fear
would meet with luke-warm support.
THE subject of church lotteries has
arrested the attention of the Massachu-
sets Legislature, which has been
petitioned for law providing that no
church which promotes lotteries shall
hold its property exempt from taxation.

OF the Home Missionary society, said he
understood "rafiles to b sort Of . lid.

Another Trunk Myuterv.

While Michael DAILY was at work on
Western avenue, about two miles from the
city of Lynn, Mass, ON the 9th, he saw
little way off what he supposed was huge
chunk Of wood, but on investigation it
proved to be trunk from which a human
hand protruded. The trunk was tied with
large woolen string, and on opening it a
horrible spectacle was presented, being that
OF the body of young woman about "a
years old, in nude condition, with the
arms and legs twisted about in every con-
ceivable shape. Her nose was entirely cut
of. The trunk contained besides the dead
body, two champagne bottles and several
bricks. An autopsy was held, and it was the
opinion of the doctors that she had been
dead two or three days.
Miss Laura Teed, of Franklin, Mass, has
been missing since the 2lst ult. Although
her age does not correspond with that of
the girl found in the trunk, she was fully
developed and might be mistaken for one
Of "a years. The description given by su-
perintendent Adams, of the Boston police,
OF Miss Teed, answers the description of
the murdered girl.

F. p. Devices, chairman of the national
committee OF the National party, has issued
an address to the people Of the United
States. He says separation from the old
parties is necessary, and asserts that this
action ON the part of congressman elect has
inspired the National Greenback party
throughout the country with renewed cour.
age and confidence. The address calls for
= thorough party organization, and adds, If
those in accord with National Greenback
principles now earnestly attempt such an
organization, party success In 1880 can be
assured.

A CAREFUL computation is said to
show that during the time occupied by
Mr.. Kimball, the church-debt raiser, in
making appeals, the money came in at
the rate of over 800 q minute. 1t is
also said that during the two years he
has been engaged in this work he has
raised nearly $2,5O0,O00. By the appli-
cation of little arithmetic to these
figures we find that Mr.. Kimball has
spent little less than seventeen and on
half days in making appeals.

Report Of the Potter C0mmittee.
On the I'd inst, Mr.. Potter, chairman Of
the investigating committee, submitted his
report to the committee, which they
adopted, by vote of six Democrats to
three Republicans, Butler being absent.
The report il divided into three parts, the
first referring to Florida, the second to
Louisiana and the third to the forged cleo.
toral certificates. The following are the
conclusions reached: That the Tilden
electors were fairly chosen in Florida. and
that the canvassing board asted unlawfully
in counting Tilden out; that In Louisiana
the returning board assumed power that
never before existed and that they used the
power to fraudulently count the state for
the Republicans; that fraudulent registry
based ON false census made it appear that
the Republican voters exceeded the white
voters in the state more than 28,OOO, and
that supervisors of election parishes were
directed to return votes according to this
census; notwithstanding this organized
fraud, says the report, when the election
was over, the Democrats had . majority
and the Republicans in order to over.
SS~>-~ - ~~sF0N PVWOH hVt 8lv0u tucms
The report tells how the vice president
having refused the first Louisiana electoral
certificates, the Republicans secretly man.
ufactured another, ants-dating it, and con.
cealed 1t until it, production before con.
gress. and how the electoral commission
was served with printed copies Of the
forged document. The report concludes
that full effect was given to the electoral
vote Of Florida and Louisiana, and that
Noyes, sherman, and others encouraged
this result; that the second certificate from
Louisiana was forged - to two Of the names,
Kellogg and CLARK, being privy to it, and
that Tilden and Hendricks having received
. true majority Of the electoral votes were
the real choice sf the people ct the last
presidential election.

THE temperance cause has suffered q
reverse in Sierra Valley, New. The
total abstinence society fourished dur
ing the fall, but about holiday time ru-
mors of inebriety on the part of leading
members were circulated. In subse-
quent meeting it was moved that those
who had broken their vows be expelled.
The motion was lost. Then a resolution
was adopted. amid great enthusiasm,
that all who had passed the holidays
without getting drunk be turned out.
Three cheers were given for John Bar
leycorn, and the meeting was adjourned
at the presidents invitation to step
across the street and drink at his ex-
penSe.
