A Wonderful story OF Crime in Sicily.

In the city Of Palermo, Sicily, an ex-
traordinary criminal trial is now excit-
ing public interest. In March last a
number of needy medical students there
conspired together to carry off one of
their fellow students, named Pizzo, the
son of a wealthy landowner. and to
extort for his ransom the sum of S25, 900
from his father. after the method of the
Greek brigands of to-day. These
young men. however, did not intend
to keep faith after the money had been
paid for the life of the hostage, but it
was their plan TO murder their victim.
and after cutting his body into pieces,
to secrete the remains. Their reasons
for coming to this sanguinary determin-
alton were that thev feared that fizzo,
in spite of all the oaths they could exact
from him, would ultimately denounce
them by name to the police, and, more
over, that, as the whole scheme would
have to be carried out in Palermo itself,
where there are no mountains or ra-
vines, as in the interior, favorable to
the concealment of lawb breakers, it
would be The safest way to remove all
evidences of their guilt. A house was
hired for the purpose, and Mercadante,
Jn6 ChuIn OF IlALO anu HIS lSlIOW
worker in the hospital, who, although
his most intimate friend, was foremost
in the conspiracy, was selected to lure
the victim thither under the pretense
that an important surgical operation
required his attention. But Pizzo' s
father and the police had received in
formation of the contemplated crime,
and all was arranged so that the agents
of the law could surprise the students
just as they were about to consummate
their wicked purpose. This the police
were enabled to do through the CO.
operation of young Pizzo, who, fore
warned, had the nerve to enter the re-
treat of the bandits on the arm of his
would-be 5etrayer, Mercadante. and
witness there the preparations for his
death. The carbineers, however, inter-
vened in time, and arrested the whole
party. One of the accused is a rich
student named Mattina, hitherto of
good character, who is supposed to
have joined the plotters from personal
enmity toward Pizzo.

ChipcO, the Seminole Chief.

The news has Just reached us of the
death of Chipco, the chief of the rem
nant of a band of Tallahassee indians, on
the 10th of October last. This noted
Seminole warrior, as near as can be
learned, was little over 100 years of
age, and had, up to few months back,
been able to engage in the hunts and
annual festivities of his tribe, but has
at last had to succumb to old age. He
fully participated in the long Seminole
war, and at the time Billy Bowlegs and
his companions were deported to Indian
Territory-in 1886 Chipco and his
band managed to elude their pursuers,
and have since lived here and there in
the Kissimmee country, though of late
years their main camp has been about
twenty-five miles east of here, near the
Catfish Lakes. Though not actively
engaged in the memorable Dade's mas
sacre, in 1885, ChipcO was present at
many massacres and battles of minor
importance. In talking over his past
career he always expressed regret but
for one deed which was the killing of
a white infant by tossing it up and
catching it as it came down on the
point of his hunting-knife. The usual
formalities peculiar to Indian tribes
were gone through with at his death
Six fine horses and many fat hogs were
shot and killed at his grave, and his
rifle and hunting accouterments, to-
gether with cooking utensils, were
buried with him, so that he might have
the use of them in the "happy hunting
grounds" The remnant of Chipco' 5
band now numbers but three warriors,
with their women, children and me-
groes, and the cheftain's mantle has
descended on the shoulders of Chipco' s
oldest son, who will be known in diplo-
matte circles as Tustenuggee Tahausky.

Looking After the Government Clerks.

The clerks of the Pension Office were
very much surprised at the end of last
week in receiving a neat card, which
was labeled: Record for the month of
October" The card contained these
items, namely: "Punctuality, Industry
and Habits" and opposite each was a
figure indicating how near the recipient
of the card had been to perfection in
each of these particulars. The highest
mark of perfection was six, and the
various phases in the individual careers
during the past month were noted by the
numerals ranging from one to six. This
was the first indication the clerks had
that a record was being kept of their
character and efficiency. 1t will be
done regularly each month, and is de-
signed to stimulate the clerks to better
things. The daily record is made by
the chiefs of the divisions, and the
average for the month is compiled by a
corps of clerks. 1t includes not only
the record of conduct of the clerks dur
ing office hours, but outside. One old
clerk, upon receiving his card, began
to caper around, and said that he felt
like a boy at school. Another one,
noticing that the card of lady clerk
did not note perfection in ''habts," re-
marked gravely: "Well, / always sup
posed Miss - was proper charac-
ter, but this certainly has bad look. "
There was considerable curiosity to
know what was meant by "habits,"
and and it was ascertained that it re-
ferred to the moral character and con-
duct, both outside and inside of the
department. There is a somewhat
similar system now in vogue at the
State Department. Washington Nntjo's-

Some ElectiOneering Tricks.

When the Berwick freemen, resident
in London, were going by sea to vote,
the masters who commanded the ships
in which they embarked have been
known to take such electors to Norway,
on account of such shippers being
bribed to do so. The freemen of Ips-
witch appear also in the same way to
have been taken to Holland AS the
daughters of freemen at Bristol con-
ferred the right of voting on their hus-
bands, a trick devised at one closely
contested election in that city was for
the same woman to marry several men.
When the ceremony was completed and
the temporary husband had duly re-
corded his vote, the two shook hands
over a grave in the church-yard and
said: "Now death us do part" which
was considered a divorce, after which
the woman proceeded to qualify an
other husband at another church. At
one place brides were given by a mvs-
ferrous individual known as the "Man
in the Moon" who approached at dusk
in the evening, and was at once met
with the question: what news from

Teach Them To Be Polite.

Train your children to be polite at
home, and you will never have cause to
blush at their rudeness abroad. The
rosy checked boy and girl and the
strong and vigorous young man who sit
in their comfortable seats in crowded
cars, while gray-haired grandfathers and
grandmothers tug at the straps, are
poor commentaries on home training.
Nothing is cheaper than politeness, and
nothing pays better. 1t should not be
taught because it pays, but from princi-
pie. The young man who is negligent
of his mother and sister at home, or the
sister who is selfish and unthoughtful,
will be no blessing to any other home
into which they are engrafted, until
"they unlearn what they have learned
amiss." This is often difficult and an
noying, and robs life of its sweetest
hours and richest gifts. Train your
children in politeness and unselfshness
in all little things, and the greater will
come without an effort.-I'1ter- Ocean.

The Leading Strings Failacy.

From the moment child is born, he
is treated on the principle that all his
instincts are essentially wrong, that
Nature must be thwarted and counter
acted in every possible way. He is
strapped up in a continuance that he
would be glad TO exchange for a strait
Jacket, kept for hours in position that
prevents him from moving any limb of
his body. His first attempts at locomo-
ton are checked; he is put in leading
strings, he is carefully guarded from
the out door world, from the air that
would invigorate his lungs, from the
sports that would develop his muscles.
Hence, the peevishness, awkwardness
and sickness of our young aristocrats.
Poor people have no time to initiate the
absurdities of their wealthy neighbors,
and their children profit by what the
model nurse would undoubtedly call
neglect. Indian babies are still better
off. They are fed on bull beef. and
kicked around like young dogs; but
they are not swaddled, they are not
Graded, and not dosed with paregoric;
they crawl around naked, and soon

]
only substituting kisses and bread for
kicks and beef, they would be as happy
as kids in a clover-tield, and moreover
they would afterward be harder and

tell US about ladies tumbling down
stairs and breaking both arms; boys
falling from a fence and fracturing their
collar bones. From what height would
a young Comanche have to fall to break
such bones-not to mention South.Sea
Island children and young monkeys?
