A Roman vendetta.

In Rome last year there was a mod
Ell girl named Guglia Setacci, who
was a wonder of beauty among all the
painters and sculptors. Two noted
sculptors, who were brothers, Ernes-
to and Gabriel Bagnagetti, fell des-
perately in love with the siren, who
was as coquettish as she was beauti-
full, and the result was fierce quar-
rel, in which Ernesto was killed; af-
ter which the beautiful cause of the
fratracide fled with young brigand,
while the murderer escaped the law
only TO fall a victim to the most
racking and maddening remorse.-
The image Of the dead brother re-
turned to him in the guise of love,
as he had been before the beautiful
Guglia had estranged them, and his
love for the woman turned to bitter
hate. He conceived what the 1tal-
ians believe in as a sort of supersti-
ton and duty, a vendetta, that is, a
sworn vengeance. He disguised
himself, and upon the report of a
visit to Paris, frequented the haunts
of the thieves and brigands Of Rome,
where Guglia habitually went. He
was not long in finding her, but it
took six months to persuade her into
his residence and win her confidence;
which he did, however, at last, and
under so perfect a disguise that she
never suspected who he was. In
carrying out his vendetta he had be-
come poor, and was obliged to work
at wood,carving to make a livelihood.
He carved figures of saints, and the
work was so beautiful that the saints
never waited long for purchasers
One day Guglia disappeared sudden
ly, and three days afterward her
mangled corpse was found in the Ii,
Der; but who the murderer was no,
body could even suspect. The wood
carver disappeared ten days after
ward, and in his room the landlord
found the blood-stained garments of
the beautiful model-girl, and a keen
sculptor's tool, with evidences on it
of the crimes so that it was plain that
Guglia's friend-the wood carver-
had done it. But where to find him
was the question which no detective
could answer. In the meantime the
sculptor, who had been supposed to
be visiting Paris, appeared in Rome
again. A few weeks ago, long after
the crime had ceased to interest any
body, an artist happened to be in
the police headquarters and noticed
a figure in wood of st. Sebastian, and
was so much struck by its beauty
that he inquired why and how it
came in such place.
"Why," said the officer, "the saint
was made by the wood,carver who
murdered the pretty model-girl. He
left it when he ran off"
"Then," exclaimed the artist, 81
can tell you who the murderer is; for
I'll swear that figure is the work Of
Gabriel Bagnagctti. No other sculp-
tor in Rome could have done it.
Gabriels rcmorse had been wiped
out by the accomplishment of his
vendetta; but no sooner did the off.
GERS confront him with the figure of
Saint Sebastian, and the opinion of
the artist, than he burst into a fran.
tic fit of rage and confessed the crime.
His artistic skill had betrayed him
through all his precautions, and by
means ofhis patron saint.

The Speakers Mace.

The London Globe gives the
following account of the virtue
with which the mallet, the SYM
boil of the Speakers Office, is in
vested in the British House of
Commons:
"All readers Of Hatsell's
Precedents' are aware Of the
mysterious power the mace pos
sesses for the transmutation of
the Assembly to which it be-
longs. 'When the mace lies
upon the table, it is House,
when ander, it is a committee.
When the mace is Out of the
House, no business can be done;
when from the table, ,and upon the
Sergeants shoulder, the Speak
er alone manages So decIar-
ed that excellent authority more
than sixty years ago. But if,
when the mace is out of the
House, no business can be done
in the House, it is nevertheless
clear that much business can be
accomplished at the spot to-
which the mace itself has gone.
Mr.. Brand reminded the Com
mons that 'on the appearance of
the mace in any committee, that
committee is dissolved, of
course So that any commit
tee refusing to come and make
a House, when Mr.. Speaker
wants to take the chair and get
to business, does SO upon pain
of instant extinction. Speaker
Abbot, whose manuscript book
on the usages of the House was
quoted by Mr.. Brand in sup
port of this employment of the
mace, had opportunities of
knowing the limits Of his Office.
In 1860 he gave that famous
casting vote which condemned
Lord Melville for misconduct
as Treasurer of the Navy, and
inflicted on Mr.. Pitt the defeat
which has been said to have
hastened his death; and it was
he who, in 1928, called upon
Canning to retract the charge
of falshood he had hurled at
Brougham on the memorable
occasion when it was moved
that both Canning and Brou-
CHAM be taken into custo-
dy by the Serjeant-at- Arms.
The written law of the mace, as
compiled by Speaker Abbott,
has been the guide of several
generations of his successors"

A Birds Courtship and Death.


Do birds have a language of
their own, and have they any of
the emotions Of humans?
A lady who lives on Olive
street relates. the following: A
few days ago there fell in front
of her window from a tree a
"chippy" or ground bird, such as
chatter about in parks or streets.
1T seemed wearied and crippled.
She picked it up, carried it in
the house, fed it from her own
mouth, and at night placed it in
the cage with her canary. The
canary at once bestowed upon
the newcomer all of the atten-
ton of a mother, and nestled be-
side the little stranger during
the night. In the morning the la
dy placed the chippy in the win
dow, so that it might have the
privilege of regaining its free
dom. 1t plumed its tiny wings
and went away. The canary
mourned during the day as if he
had lost his mate. In the eve
ming the chippy came back and
perched upon the window. The
sash was raised, and it flew in
and nestled upon the cage. The
canary at once struck up his
liyeliest notes, and seemed graf
flied. This was repeated two or
three days, the chippy going
each morning and returning in
the evening.
One day it went away and
did not come back. The cana
ry, dropped, and the next day
fell dead from his perch in the
sunshine that played over his
gildedl cage in the window. That
night the chippy returned, and
during the evening it mourned
over its dead companion. In
the morning it clung to the cage
until it was turned out. For a
few days the empty cage was
hung in the window, and ON
each succeeding evening the
chippy returned, and chirped as
if it was grief-stricken. One
day it brought a petal of a tube
rose in its bill, dropped it in the
cage, flew away, and never came
back.

His Trousers Got Shortened.

t e Allentown Chronicle
Us: A certain gentleman
purchased pair of pants a few
days ago, which, upon being
tried on at home, he found to
be too long. That night he re-
marked to his wife that he wish
ed her to take off about an inch
from each leg, which would
make them the desired length.
Being fond of teasing her hus-
band, she told him that she
shouldn't do anything of the
kind, and he retired without
having obtained a promise from
her that she would attend to the
matter.
Soon after he had left for his
room, however, she, as a matter
of course, clipped off the super
Ifluous inch, as she had been ask
ed to do. The family is COM
posed Of six female members,
and each one of the five, who
were in adjoining rooms, heard
the dispute between man and
wife, and after the latter had ta-
ken off the required inch and re-
tired, the old lady, desiring to.
"keep peace in the family" and
not knowing what her daugh-
ter-in-law had done, cautiously
slipped into the room and cut
off another inch.
In this way did each of the
five ladies, unknown to the 9TH
er, and all with the praisewor-|
thy object of preventing any
misunderstanding between the
couple, clip an inch from the
legs of the gentleman's trousers.
The following morning, all
unconscious of what had taken
place during the night, he roll
ed up his pants in piece Of
paper, and took them to the tai
lor to be shortened to the desir-
ed length. Uupon a hasty
glance the latter ventured the
opinion that they were already
short enough; but the owner in
sisted that they were fully an
inch too long. The tailor had
no more to say, and our friend
On the following Saturday
he called for the pants and took
them home, and was supremely
disgusted at finding that the
legs reached only a trifie below
the knee. He straightway ac-
cused the tailor, but his wife
heard him, and came to the res
cue, explaining that she had ta-
ken an inch from each of the
legs, and her acknowledgment
was followed by that of each of
the other five ladies, when it
was discovered that altogether
the legs had been shortened to
The extent of seven inches.

The Early Flowers are Gone.
The woods are full of tiny graves,
The sweet graves of The flowers,
That spring in every sheltered nook,
Amid the spring-time hours,
The buttercup lies on the slope
Where first the sunIi sht fell;
The violet sleeps beside the rill,
~ The daisy in the dell.
Upon one stone is carved The name
OF Aprirs children fair;
They persisted when the sky was bright
And genile was the air.
To the soft kisses OF the breeze
They held half trembling, up,
Full many small transparent urn
I And honey-ladened cup.
And when The roses budded out,
Tn summers balmy hours,
No little mound was made to tell
Where slept the gentle flowers.
Those early flowers-they seem 10 me
Like little children sweet,
Who smile moment on our path
Then perish at our feet.

He Was Ready.
Ithaca Journal.

A farmer at. Collamer, N. Y,
named Bostwick, some little
time ago lost his wife, and be-
ing a deyout Spiritualist, anx-
iously waited for a message
from her, but none came. The
idea that his own taking off was
near at hand took possession Of
him. With this solemn thought
in his head, he contracted with
the sexton of the cemetery 10
dig his grave, paying $40 for
the labor. One day last week
he made a trip to the nearest
undertaken, and on paying 500
closed an agreement with that
parsonage to properly inter his
bones. On his way heme,
Bostwick fell from the wagon
and died, and on Friday last he
was buried.

A Smart Detective.

For nearly two years past a
young man, wearing the garb
of a Highland piper, has been
wandering about the coal re-
gions of Pennsylvania, playing
| his pipes in the streets, atien-
ding picnics and dances, and
apparently depending on his in

He visited Shamokin a number
of times and during one of his
visits he attracted considerable
attention by riding about on a
horse and playing his pipes in
front of the principal hotels.
While he remained in town he
stopped at Jack Shaw's Wash
i D g t o n House, on Franklin
street.
A few weeks ago he was play
ing in mining village on the
outskirts ofScranton. A crowd
had gathered around him, a.
mong them a mine laborer nam
ed Brady. Suddenly the pi-
per ceased his music, and step
ping from the crowd seized
Brady by the sholder, and an
nounced that the laborer was his
prisoner. At the same time he
produced papers which he said
was his authority for making the
arrest.
Brady seemed entirely over
whelmed by the arrest, and
made no opposition or protest,
but accompanied the piper to
the authorities, where it was re-
vealed tina: the piper was a de-
tective. For two years he has

murdered a wealthy man named
Findlay, in Scotland, in Janua-

employ of Findlay. Early one
morning the latter was found
dead by the roadside witha a club.
Brady had been discharged the
morning before for drunkenness.
He had been heard to make a
threat that he would get even

to be found, but was traced to

William Male, a detective,
was employed by the relatives
of the murdered man to come to
this country and search for Bria-
dy, who it was thought would
bring up in the Pennsylvania
coal regions, where he had
friends working. One of Bria-
dy's peculiarities was his love
for music Of the bag-pipe, SO
the detective, being piper, a.
dopted the disguise of a Scotch
piper, and played about in the
coal towns, in hope of some day
attracting the attention of the
man he was seeking, he being
sure, from information he had
received that Brady really was
somewhere in the coal regions.
The ruse succeeded, after two
years patient trial. Male is now
