ITALIAN newspapers contain reports
of audacious outrages by bandits on
the highways and railroads of that
picturesque country. In one case a
dozen fellows brought train to stop
by hosting a danger signal. They in
tended to rob the passengers, but a
large force of soldiers happened to be
on the train, and when the bandits saw
them they started for cover. The mill
tary sent volley after them, and some
started in pursuit, but it was already
growing dark, and no captures were
effected. On the road from Senatro to
1sernia twenty-seven unarmed travel
Iers were robbed by thirteen brigands,
and lawyer who proved troublesome
was badly wounded. Attempts are
made to throw trains off the track,
successful robberies are frequent, and
the police are utterly inefficient and

BISMARCK says of the late J. Lathrop
Motley: "In the autumn of 1888, as we
both passed from Gottingen to Berlin,
we took rooms in the same house and
lived in the closest intimacy, taking our
meals and doing our exercises together.
Although he was stubborn dialectician,
and often used to wake me of morn
ing to continue some discussion, com
menced over night, upon point of sci
ence, he never for a moment lost his
cheerfulness and amiability. While at
Frankfort he generally stayed at my
house, and was ever welcome guest to
my wife. The most striking features
of his handsome and mild countenance
were his extraordinarily largeand beau
tiful eyes. Henever entered a drawing
room without exciting the sympathy
and attention of all the ladies present.

An Eccentric Hunchhack.

About 1725 one of the most remarka-
BILE characters in the public haunts of
Paris was hunched-backed gentleman
of the name of Benariot. He was
man of droll turn of mind; cared moth
ing for his own deformity of person: .
and delighted to tease those who, equal
~ unfortunate in this respect, were not
possessed of the same philosophic in
difference. In walking the streets of
the boulevards it was his constant prac-
tice, when he perceived another lunch
back, to step up and whisper in his ear,
pointing at the same time to his own
protuberance, IF you are content, sir,
so am l. The frequent repetition Of

WARD LAMoN tells new story of
Lincoln. Soon after Lamon was made
Marshal of the district, in 1861, he was
in the neighborhood of corner fight,
and, in restoring peace, he struck one
of the belligerents with his fist, the
weapon with which he was VIGOROUSLY
familiar. He struck rather harder than
he intended, for the fellow was picked
up unconscious and lay some hours on
the border of life and death. Lamon
was greatly frightened, and next morn
ing reported the affair to the President.
IT am astonished at you, Ward" said
he, harshly. "You ought to know bet
ter. Hereafter, when you have to hit q
man, use club, not your fist"

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

HE Irish harp was about four feet

carried slung to the back. hIg
SOME firm in Germany is attempting
to substitute paper for wood in the
manufacture of lead-pencils. The pa
per is stepped in an adhesive LIQUID.
and rolled round the core of lead to the
required thickness. After the paper is
dry it is colored, and it resembles, when
finished, an ordinary cedar pencil.
WIcKs made of spun glass have been
tried in lamps, and it is said they do
very well. It is said that they supply
the petroleum, oil or alcohol to the
fame with more steadiness than the or
binary wick; that they secure clear
and pure light at a less expense of fuel
and that they diminish the usual un-
pleasant odor.
The peculiar pebbles known in Aus
tria as the travelling stones have long
been regarded as great curiosities.
Similar ones have just been discovered
in Nevada, almost round in shape, and
as large as walnut. The cause of these
stones rolling to common point from
distances of three or four feet is the
lodestone or magnetic iron ore of which
they are composed.

GRATIS that a learned doctor has dis
covered means of dyeing human eyes
any color he likes. not only without
injury to the delicate orbs, but, as he as
serts, with positive advantage to the
powers of sight. He can not only give
fair ladies eyes black as night or blue as
Orient skies by day, but he cansturn
them out in hue of silver or of gold. He
says golden eyes are extremely becom-
ing. Nothing goes down without a
grand name; therefore the German
doctor calls his discovery ocular
Transmutation." He declares himself
quite ready to guarantee success and
harmlessness in the operation.

d IuOSq4IGO 10 d COupIGA luSGlGuGlOu. LII
is admirably calculated to torment.
The bill has blunt fork at the head,
and is apparently grooved. Working
through the groove, and projecting from
the center of the angle of the fork, is a
lance of perfect form, sharpened with a
fine bevel. Beside it the most perfect
lance looks like handsaw. On either
side of this lance two saws are arranged
with the points sharp and the teeth
well-defned and keen. The backs of
these saws play against the lance.
When the mosquito aights with it's pc
culiar hum, it thrusts with it's keen
lance and then enlarges the aperture
with the two saws, which play beside
the lance until the forked bill with the
capillary arrangement for pumping
blood can be inserted. The saving
process is what CRATES upon the nerves
of the victim and causes him to strike
wildly at the saver. The irritation of
mosquito bite is undoubtedly owing
to these saws.

WOLVES have made sad havoc among
the cattle in several provinces of Rus
STA. Even children and grown persons
sometimes fall victims to the rapacity of
these animals. A wolf appeared in the
streets of a village in the province of
Wilma not long ago and seized boy 3
years old, who was playing in the yard
near house. The mothers screams
aroused the neighbors, and many per-
sons started in pursuit. But the wolf
escaped, with the child in its jaws, into
the forests in the vicinity, and, though
search was continued twosdays, no trace
of the child could be found.

The late Bishop Nottingham, of
Maryland, stood next to Bishop Smith
of Kentucky, in point of seniority
among the prelates of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States.
He was consecrated in 1910. Next to
him is Bishop Lee, of Delaware, a Low
Churchman, who was consecrated in
1841. Following him is Bishop South
gate, who is without a diocese. The
next twenty-four Bishops, with perhaps
three or four exceptions, are either of
High or Broad Church party, and all
the remaining Bishops, with six or eight
exceptions, may be placed in the same
category. 1t is a proverb among
Churchmen, at least among the laity,
that a radical Low-Church clergyman
on being elevated to the episcopate be-
comes at an early day one of the most
conservative men of his order. Three
Bishops have died during the year
Sixty-one remain.
