A Powerful italian.

An Italian in Reno, New, boasts that he is
the strongest mar in America. His spinal
column seems to be double, and his bones
and joints are very large. He has repeatedly
lifted with the third finger of his right hand
men weighing from $50 to 200 pounds by
placing his finger under the hollow of one of
their feet and thus carry them around a room.
He can strike with his fist a blow with a
power OF 500 pounds, as measured on a rigis-
ter, and when a couple of big Irishmen
attacked him the other day he seized one in
each hand and Locked them together until
they were msensible and half dead.

At the godly hour of nine,
That Mr.. Hayes was trying
Thu puzzle to divine.
The olive branches clustered
About his Blended knee,
And oft he slipped in silence
A cocktail-made of tea. ~"
With eager eyes they watched him
As he slipped the blocks about,
But in vain were all his efforts
To work the problem out. 4
From 1 to G the numbers
Were in their places straight,
And SO were all the others
Except the 7 and 8.
"'Tis very odd !" he murmured,
Key trips up on eleven,
And SchurZ on 3. but somehow
stick on 8 orr.
"No matter how I move them
They're sure to come the same;
How shall / get the working
OF this pesky Fifteen Game ?"
Then out spoke little Scotty
With gentle voice and low;
why, pa, just write q letter
To Xliunde Joe"

The Vatican.

Tn Vatican is an immense and irregular
pile of buildings, erected at different times,
and with little attempt at architectural unity,
1t consists OF countless halls and rooms, and
these surround courts with colonades and
fountains. Many of them are lighted from
above but others, especially in the Library,
look out on sunny garden spaces where are
close-clipped hedges, trim 1lower-beds and
orange and lemon trees laden with golden
fruit. The halls given up to statues and
pictures-and there is a half-a-mile of them,
according to Nurray-are cold and stately in
their effect; and despite a .scdldino, here and
there, they chill one to the marrow of his
bones in half an hour. The Etruscan and
Egyptian museums beneath are gloomy, but
the library halls are warm and bright. Their
walls are decorated with ~freScoes, their door
ways and columns are of marble in all of
its varying tints. The bookcases are Of rare
woods, some pancled and carved, some painted
with fruit and flower designs of a white or
gold ground. These are all you see, the
books are invisible. Rare marble tables hold
presents made 10 the popes by kings and
elnperors in the last century; Sevres vases
from the king of Prussia malachite from
Prince Demidoff; splendid candelabras from
Napoleon l.; little Prince Louis baptismal
font sent by Eugene so long ago; rare
illuminated missals whose covers are adorned
with embroideries Of gold and gems a
wonderful fald stool from Tours, a mass of
delicate carving in light brown wood, all
ferns and wandering vines and bell flowers,
and lace -iike canopies over ivory saints six
inches high which jewel the sides; all these
are but a little of the beautiful things you see.
You walk through hall after hall filled with
rich and rare and curious articles, and get
from every window glimpses of garden green
and silvery fountain. You look back from
the last hall down a vista so long that you
cannot distinguish objects at the other end
The whole effect is of bewildering richness
and beauty. But all these museums are
much ..alike, l suppose, to ignorant eyes
The first one seen always stays III your
memory as biggest and best.--EmHy +.
Wheeler, IN Good Company.
A young lady writes to an exchange: ''For
my part, l prefer an evening passed at home
with a pleasant book, to attending balls, par
ties and theatres" Oh, certainly. When a
Young lady llasn'C a beau, nor a new bonnet,
nor IA new walking costume, she generally

ANEGRO OUTRAGE FIEND HANGED BY A MOB
On Saturday last one-armed negro named
Louis Kinder, committed an outrageous assault
upon white woman, named Byrd, residing at
Georges Station, ColletOn county. S. c., about
fifty miles from Charleston. A hunt was organ
lied and the villain captured about four O'Clock
Sunday morning by a mixed white and black
posse. He was taken to the scene of the outrage
and identified by his victim. A vote of the posse
was taken, and it was decided not to lynch him,
but to allow the law TO take its course. Kinder
was then taken to Georges Station and placed In
the guard-house. On Monday morning he was
sent to WATERFORD to Jail, still strongly guarded
On the way to WATERFORD the guard was over
powered by an armed force consisting, 1t is said,
largely of the relatives of the outraged lady, and
the prisoner was conveyed to a secluded spot In
the woods, where he was kept till night. ABOUT
nine O'Clock last night he was again confronted
with the lady whom he had outraged and again
identified. He was again taken to the woods,
where preparations We're made to hang him. At
the last moment he confessed the crime, and
also confessed to similar outrage upon a COL
ored woman in Newberry, six years ago. He
further acknowledged the killing of colored
girl near Kings Tree, last April, and confessed
10 four burgIaries and innumerable thefts. At
1890 O'Clock he was hanged, and, after firing a
volley of pistol shots into the body, the crowd
quietly dispersed. Ktnder was dangerous out
law, Who for over year, had been the terror OF
the neighborhood on which he preyed, and the
action of the yigilantS is heartily Endorsed by
both the white and colored residents OF the
vicinity.

REMARKABLE RELATIONS OF MARRIED PAIR.
suit is pending In Philadelphia, in which Mrs.
Charlotte Josephine Lelda Robinette, claims
support from her divorced husband, though she
has been separated from him for six years. Ac-
cording to her statement, their meetings before
their marriage were those OF two young persons
having a warm admiration for each other, but
utterly without that feeling which commonly
exists between lovers; and that the desire of
each to enjoy the society of the other
until death should sever the knot of friend
ship, induced them TO make the agree
ment that they would be legally married,
but always live as brother and sister.
This accords with the statement made by the
husband, j. Percy Robinetue, three years ago,
when he petitioned the Delaware legislature for
a divorce. They occupied separate rooms when
on their bridal tour, in New York hotel, on the
steamer when going to Europe, while In Eng
land and on the continent. They parted three
months after the marriage, she remaining In
England and he returning TO the United states:
He RENTED to her .e4O, but he never answered
her subsequent letters. She supported herSeif
by giving lessons In elocutlon, performing on
the stage and public readings; and finally, in
order TO return, obtained money from her
mother. On reaching New York she first
learned that she was divorced wife. Concern
ing statements made by Mr.. RObinette in his
petition for divorce, she says that he never
asked for conSummation OF the marriage; two
days before the marriage he engaged two rooms
at the Metropolitan Hotel; she occupied one and
he the other; he did the same thing aboard the
steamer, and subsequently throughout their
European travels.
