Mutiny In a Naples Prison.

On the islands of Naples Bay is n
prison called Santo Stefano, open to the
sky, and the circular precinct lined by
rows of cells. Here are kept 761 pris-
oners, 400 OF them being condemned to
hard labor for life. F.
One of these is Luciani, a young man
whose trial five years ago for melting
the murder of SonZogno, created great
excitement. He had succeeded by false
means in gaining seat in Parliament,
although he only occupied it for few
days, as the fraud was discovered. He
is the king of the galley slaves at Santo
Stefano, and even holds communication,
it is said, and has political influence
without the walls of his prison. Lately
he melted tho prisoners to revolt, the
excuse being that the bread was not
good. These men are his adherents, his
servants, his slaves, and the mutiny he
excited was so fierce that the military
force was called into the prison and 46l
men chained in their cells. They re-
ceive only bread and water, but many of
them take the bread, as they say, only
to give them strength to cry out against
the authorities. Others refuse it until
tney are forced by munger 10 ask lor IL.
An incessant cry of hate goes up from
these chained men, Invested of almost
every trace of humanity, and governed
by one who has been proved to be an
incarnation of wickedness. Yet these
for their great crimes merit their fate.
Time was, not many years ago, when
natures noblemen-the bravest, the
boldest, the best of Naples-were sent
to this terrible prison. There languished
for many years Luigi Seltembrini, Carlo
Poerio, Sylvio Spaventa, and other pa
triots who had incurred the wrath of the
Bourbons. Happily, those days are
past, and may they never return to Italy
or nnY other land Rome Letter.

The Fireplace i'm Summer.

The aching void of black and empty
fireplace liz summer time has proved a
source of annoyance to many generations
of sensitive housekeepers, and various
ingenious contrivances have been evolved
to render its yawning blackness less OPP
pressive 1t may be that practical un-
imaginative minds can scarcely appreci-
ate the possibility of fire ready laid in
a prosaic CRATE being made to look pic
turesque or artistic. Yet an English
writer enthusiastically describes such q
cold fire apparently waiting the applica-
ton of the match. slightly protruding
between the lower bars was a crumpled
piece of greenish- tinted paper over this
lay small faggot, with its binding
loosed, of dry twigs upon this was judi
ciously placed lot of clean, knobby
coal, the whole surface mounted by q
magnificent yule log, carefully selected
for its shape and the picturesque dis
tribution III its upper surface of some
moss-covered broken bark. Ksthetic
housekeepers, who are puzzled to know
how to fill up their empty tireplaces III
the summer time can try the effect of
this admirable device, worthy, according
to this writers's view, of being studied
with advantage by painter of still life.

An Important LabOr-Saying Device.

In the building of railroads new labor
saving devices are from time to time
coming into use. The latest heard of
is pillow now in use by several COM
panies extending their roads in the
Western States and Territories. 1t is
designed to dig ditch and ut the same
time throw dirt on the track for the
purpose of raising the grade on imper-
fectly prepared roadbeds, upon which o
track may be temporarily laid. This
pillow weighs $500 pounds and will be
attached to a flat car, which is loaded
down with several tons of iron, SO that
il cannot be thrown from the track.
The pillow, moved by locomotive power.
cuts furrow eighteen inches deep and
three aud a-half feet wide, and throws
the dirt on the track. One pillow does
the work of 1000 men with shovels. on
prairie land, while with piow on each
side of the track, if desired, double the
work is done. 1t frequently is the case
on prairies aud through valleys that
long stretches of track may be laid with
out any grading Mt all, and with a ma
chine of this kind TO perfect the track
afterward, wonderful amount of work
can be done in short time with few
men.

Emigrant Sharks.

The poor emigrant is not forgotten by
the swindier. Every device is tried to
fleece him out of the few dollars he has
brought with him to a new home. In
some cases they are coaxed to give up
small sums of money on the pretense OF
procuring employment. The sharpers
get their money and then send them to
some factory in the suburbs, where the
emigrants are told positions are open
for them. On application at the place
mentioned the parties in charge say that
they do not need any hands, and the
emigrants have to return to Castle Gar
den minus their travelling expenses.
Emigrants intending to go inland are
also imposed upon by these sharks, who
give them rolls of copper coin In ex-
change for our paper money or the gold
coin of European countries. They
dupe their victims by gold piece put
on top of each roll, which generally con-
tains English coppers.
The "bogus Custom-house officer Is
another swindle which is carried on to
n great extent. 1t consists in the as
sumption of the duties and rights of
Custom-house officers by number of
rascals, who, to work their ends more
easily, wear bogus badges, precise imi-
tations of those worn by the regular in
spectors. They follow an unsuspecting
passenger who may be leaving the ship
with some small package which has es-
capped the attention of the regular Gus
tom-house officer, and when he is clear
of the dock the swindler approaches
him and demands to know what he has
got If objection is made he SHOWS his
badge. This scares the would-be-smug-
gler; the goods are delivered up, and
that is the last heard of them. The
passenger claims them at the Custom
house, tut to no purpose.
Among the many mean swindlers are
parties who offer employment to poor
men in other cities, especially in the
South, at good wages, on condition that
they pay down small sum of money.
In nil cases when the time for departure
comes the swindler has vanished, and
some idea of the sufferings entailed up
on the victims may be formed from the
fact that many of them had broken up
their humble homes and laid out their
little means in purchasing necessaries
for the voyage.--NeW York Herald.

Z The Use OF the Walrus.


nished SO largely by the flesh and oil of
the morse, it is exceedingly doubtful
whether the Esquimaux of North Amer
lea, from Behring Straits clear around to
Labrador, could manage to live. 1t is
not to be Inferred that walrus meat is the
sole diet of these simple people, for that
Is very wide of the truth but there are
several months of every year when the
exigencies of the climate render it abso-
lutely impossible for the hardest native
to go out and procure food, and then the
value OF the cache of walrus meat is APP
preciated, when for weeks it forms
the beginning and the end of every
meal. The walrus responds to as many
demands of the Innuit rs the camel of
the Arab, or the cocoa-palm of the South
Sea Islander. Its flesh feeds him its
oil Eliminates and warns his dark hut !;
its sinews make his bird-nests its tough
skin, skillfully stretched over the light
wooden frame, constitutes his famous
kayak, and the serviceable oomiak. or
bidarran; its intestines are converted
into waterproof clothing, while the soles
to It's fiippers are transferred to his feet !;
and finally its ivory is a source of end
less utility to him in domestic use and in
trade aud barter.
Walrus famines among the Esquimaux
have been recorded in pathetic legends
by almost all of the savage settlements in
the Arctic. Even now, as i write NO
vember, 1SS0), comes the authentic cor
roboration of the harsh rumor of the
starvation of the inhabitants of st. Law
renee Island-those people who live just
midway between the Old World and the
New, in Alaskan waters. The winter of
1S79-S0 was one of exceptional rigor in
the Arctic, though in this country it was
unusually and open. The ice closed in
solid around in ST. Lawrence Island-so
firm and mistaken by the mighty powers
of wind and tide that the walrus were
driven far to the southwark and east
ward, out of reach of the unhappy in
habitants of that island, who, thus I'M
expectedly derived of their mainstay and
support, seem to have miserably starved
to death, with the exception of one
small village on the north shore. The
residents of the Poonook, Poogovellyak
and Kagallegak settlements persisted, to
soul, from hunger-nearly three hun
dred men, women and children. / was
among these people in 1874, during the
month of August, and remarked their
manifold superiority over the savages of
the northwest coast and the great plains.
They seemed then to live, during nine
months of the year, almost wholly upon
the flesh and oil of the walrus. Clean
limbed, bright-eyed and jovial, theypro-
foundly impressed one with their happy
subsistence and reliance upon the walrus
herds of Behring Sea; and it was re-
marked then that these people had never
been subjected to the temptation--and
subsequent sorrow-of putting their
trust i'll princes; hence their independ-
ence and good heart. But now il APP
pears that it will not suffice, either to put
your trust in walrus. -Scri6ner.

A FEW years ago the postage on let
ter in France was so centimes-half a
franc, or neatly dime of our money.
These rates continued until about 1876,
when they were reduced one-half-that
is, to cents. A Paris dispatch now
announces that after the LIST of January
next the interior postage will be the uni
form rate of 10 confines, or 2 cents,
which is the same as the British post

greatly improved within few years
that the Government has repealed $780,

The Black Hills country was included
in the treaty of 1868, with the Sioux, by
which the territory "lying between the
northern boundary of Nebraska and the
forty-sixth parallel, and bounded on the
east by the Missouri, and west by the
one hundred and fourth degree Of west
longitude, together with the reservations
then existing on the east side of the
Missouri, was set apart for the absolute
and undisturbed Use and occupation of
the Sioux for their permanent home"
In 1874 General Clusters exploring ex-
petition visited the Black Hills. and in
1875 scientific expedition under Prof
fessor Walter L. Jenney, accompanied
bya miitary escort under Colonel Richard
l. Dodge, of the United States army.
These exped itions disclosed the fact that
the Black Hills country, rich in mines.
timber, and grazing, was unused by the
Indians in whose res ervation the territory
was situated After them whites poured
into the country, against the orders OF
General Crock, whose troops were too
few in number to keep them out, and
when once III, 1t was impossible to dis
lodge them. In the fall cf 1875 council
was assembled at Red Cloud Agency To
negotiate the purchase of the country,
but concluded without making any ar
engagements with the Indians, who be-
came restless, depred tons followed. the
disaflected left the agencies and joined
in what has become known as the "Sit-
ting Bull movement" and the war of
1876, led by Crazy Horse aud other
Sioux chiefs, resulted in the subduing of
the tribes then on the war path In the
meanwhile the Black Hills had been
rapidly settled, rich mines had been
found, towns built, counties organized,
and thousands of people had made homes
in the hills. There have been many
estimates OF the number of Indians that
were, in 100, in what we now know as
the United States, but none are salts
ia tory. Indeed, even now est mates of
their number vary widely, the census of
1870 placing them Mt about $50, 900,
while others offer estimates which show
that the Indian population is about 20O,-
