PRETTY GIRLS IN THE WINE vATs.

How the italian Peasants in Perugia Tread

A resident in Italy vouches for the

one day is enough to clear an average
vineyard. When the grapes are all
gathered in they are carefully picked
from the stems for the pressing. This
last process is the same primitive, sim
pie operation that was performed by
the patriarch Noah. The grapes are
thrown into an enormous vat, where
the juice is tramped out Of them by
the bare feet. At this stage Of the
vintage you may see hundreds of the
young ladies OF the city of Perugia
coming forth in groups in the morn
ing, beaming with pleasant mystery
and excitement.
Your ordinary tourist, whose only
intellectual and instructive pabulum
is gathered from the guide books, has
not the remotest conception of their
object. He may think they are out
for an early constitutional. But early
constitutionals are not the rage with
Italian ladies. Shall l tell you the
secret of all that mystery and excite
ment? They are off to the country to
tread in the wine presses. 1t is novel
holiday for them, besides being most
salutary exercise. Even prim old
dowagers are known to "wade in" and
Danish the rheumatism by a half days
exercise in the wine press. Apart from
the heuIthfuf exercise of tramping, the
new mash acts as bath to the limbs,
while the uprising fumes are considered
eminently stomachic. After the tread
ing performance these ladies wash
themselves in hot wine, taking mod
crate decoction internally for the
stomach's sake. The effect is pleasant
and rejuvenating, and is especially
noticeable in the vim with which they
participate in the dance, which is the
usual sequel to treading in the wine

A Big CANAL SCHEME.-A new
scheme for establishing canal naviga-
tion between the great lakes and Bal
timore, by way of Cayuga county,
New York, has been broached. The
river and harbor bill passed by Con-
gress last year provided for the exam
ination of the north branch of the
Susquehanna river from Wilkesbarre
to the New York State line, to dis
cover how much it would cost to make
channel two feet deep at low water.
Engineer Morrell, who was designated
to make the surveys, DOW reports the
result of his examination i'll the shape
of an elaborate scheme for establishing
canal navigation between the great
lakes and Baltimore, and diverting
Western freight from New York to
Southern ports. He proposes to make
the north branch of the Susquehanna
navigable, from Nanticoke dam to
State dam, at the cost of a quarter of
a million dollars, and to establish
great national highway from Buffalo,
by the Erie Canal $50 miles, to Mon
tezuma, thence by the Cayuga and
Seneca Canal, Seneca lake and Che
mung Canal to Elmira, thence by the
Chemung and the valley Of the north
branch Of the Susquehanna to North
umberland, and thence to Havre de
Grace at the mouth OF the Slsquehan-
ma. He would have the locks of the
Erie Canal enlarged. and gives the
cost of this national Highway as $685.
100000. The distance from Buffalo
to tide water by this route is 543
miles, and can be reduced so that it
will be only twenty miles greater than
from Buffalo to New York By the
Erie Canal

THE VITAL SPARK.
An Attempt to Reproduce It-Experiments

An Attempt to Reproduce It-Experiments
with the Bodies of Two Murderers
A reporter describing the attempt
to resuscitate the negroes hanged at
Murf eesboro on Friday last, says
After they had been suspended for
seventeen minutes they were cut down,
and DR.. Siegar, Of Nashville, and Drs.
Byrne and Murfree, Of Murfreesboro,
attempted the experiment in resuseita-
tion, which was proposed some days
ago. They did not begin until thirty
minutes after the men had been cut
down. A number Of physicians were
present 20 witness the experiment.
After the clothing had been taken of,
their bodies were wrapped in hot
blankets, applications were made to
their necks TO reduce the swelling, and
an artificial respiration brought about
by the means usually applied in cases
Of persons who have been in the water
for a long time. All this was pre-
liminary to the application of electric
ity Batteries were placed in juxta-
position to the spinal cord and differ
ent portions Of the brain. The effects
Of the application were soon apparent.
First came nervous muscular twitch-
ings in those parts of the body with
which the batteries we're placed in
contact. The temperature was grad
ually increased until it reached over
100 degrees.
The effect was immediate. The
muscular contractions increased The
limbs twitched and shook like men
asleep, and struggling under the spell
Of a horrid nightmare. The regular
drawing in and expulsion Of air, pro-
duced by the appliances referred to,
were horribly real and life-like. The
respiration came with an effort. how
ever, and sounded like the gasps Of
men struggling for breath. DR. Siegar
put his hand to their wrists. "The
pulse is BEATING he said. "You can
feel it, but family" Their eyes next
opened, under the effect Of the cleo
trio current, and turned about the
room in vacant gaze There was no
sound but the labored gasping at their
lips. All in the room stood still with
horror.
Gentlemen, 7 said DIR. Siegar, "The
experiment is concluded. Our main
object was to show the effect of cleo
tricity upon the muscular centres, and
we have exhibited that, | think, in a
remarkably realistic way"

A PRESIDENTS NIECE DTEs IN
PENURY AND SQUALoR.-A dispatch
from New York, dated Feb. Is, says
The death is announced to-day of Jen-
ME Tyler, niece of ex President Tyler
Ten years ago she was one Of the
reigning bellies of Washington, and
she possessed also a comfortable for
tune; yesterday her dead body lay
stretched on table in a rickety and
squalid tenement in Brooklyn, her
husband, William Collins, being too
poor to defray the expenses of her
funeral. 1t appears that she has
wealthy relatives in this city who re-
fuse to bury her. Jennie was married
twice. Her first husband squandered
her money. Her second husband
Collins was poor, and was thrown
out of work. Her father lives in
Harrisburg, Pa. and has been tele-
graphed to. Her sister lives in q
handsome four-story brown stone house
in fashionable locality in New York.
Her husband says that Mrs. Collins
was not recognized on account of her
marriage beneath her station. Her
first cousin is prominent city politi-
clan, and she was also a relative Of
leading lawyer in Wall street. Her
brother is said to be in Baltimore at
college Senator John W. Stevenson
is a cousin of hers. She was born in
Richmond, Va. in 1848.
