are all Catholics, and very devout when
In church. The men NEEDLE not at all
in politics, and although they rarely
return to their own country until too
old to be drafted into the army, seldom
become citizens here. Sometimes they
do so to protect themselves from draft
and then go home.
They seem to attach themselves to
places, and it is said that they rarely
move, and the same room they take on
arriving, or fraction of room, they re.
tain sometimes for years. A short time
since house was about falling in Rose
street and the police had all they could
do to force the families to vacate the
premises. They care, however, but
little for the adornment OF the place
they call home. In over forty OF these
tenement houses, inhabited exclusively
by the Italians, there was not one even
that had sign of carpet in it. The
women usually have necklace or ear
rings of some value that has been an
heirloom, but beyond this there is not
one atom of grace or beauty about these
homes, nothing but filth and apparent
restitution and utter neglect OF all the
decencies of life.
There must be in America from sta
tistical information about loo, 900 Ital-
ians, OF which some 1900 or 10000
live in New York alone. These are al
most without exception the very lowest
scum of all their countries in point of
ignorance and character, and yet in
spite of that, the worst of them we can
say as class is. that they are beyond
measure dirty, ignorant and avaricious,
and we are forced to admit that they
generally are law.abiding and tranquil
people,-N, Y, Mail.

A Sleeping Beauty.

Scarcely less astonishing than DR..
Tanners recent feat of fasting is the
condition of q young lady, the daugh-
ter of the Mayor of Grambke, q village
near Bremen, who is said to have been
fast asleep ever since the second week
in January with the exception of few
hours of semi. wakefulness at intervals
of from six to eight weeks. An inter-
esting account of her extraordinary
state is published in the Hanover Cou-
rier. 1t appears that she lies, plunged
in profound slumber and entirely un-
conscious of all that goes on around
her. night and day, reclining on her left
side, warmly covered up and with Q
light gauze spread over her head. Nour-
ishment, chiefly in liquid form, is daily
administered to her, which she swal-
lows without awaking for second. She
is pretty, slender girl, OF pallid
complexion, but she does not lose in
weight during her frances of from forty
to sixty days, and when awake exhibits
a cheerful disposition and an eager de-
sire to perform such small household
tasks as her strength enables her to full
fill. Her father is well-to-do man,
who has consulted several eminent
medical men in the hope of discovering
some remedy for his daughters sbnor-
NAL condition, which entails serious
inconvenience and constant anxiety
upon the other members of his family,
but all efforts hitherto made to keep
the unlucky girl awake have resulted
in total failure.
