LIVES OF DEEP sECLUsION.
How the Members of the Order
of the Buried Alive Live.

The Order of the Buried Alive, in
Rome, the Convent of the SepOlte Vive,
is a remnant of the Middle Ages in the
life of to-day.
The London Queens correspondent
had the privilege of an entrance within,
one after another, the five iron doors,
and of talking with the Superior
through the barrel, which fills an open
ing in the wall.
over the barrel is written: "Who
will live cOntented within these walls
let her leave at the gate every earthly
care" You knock at the barrel, which
turns slowly around till it shows a sec
tiOn like that of an orange from which
one of the quarters has been cut out.
You speak of the invisible sister, who
asks your will; and she answers you in
Italian and cultivated intOnation. You
hear the voice quite distinctly, but as
if it was far, far away. She is really
separated from you only by slender
slice of wood, but she is absolutely in
visible. Not the smallest chink is Ylsl-
BILE between you and her. Sound tray-
els through the barrier, but sight is alb
sOlutely excluded.
These nuns live on charity, keeping
two Lents in this year-One from No
Vember to Christmas, the other the or
dinary Lent of Catholic ChristendOm.

eat whatever is given them, saving
flesh meat" during the fasting time.
If you take them cake or a loaf of
bread, bottle of wine, a roll of chOcO-
late bOn-bOns, basket of eggs, 1t is all
good for them.
They must be absolutely without food
for twenty-fOur hours before they may
ask help from the outside world. And
wnen they have looked starvation in the
face, then they may ring bell, which
means: Help us! we are famishing"
Perhaps you take them nothing eatable,
but you place on the ledge of the cut
orange, by which you sit, some money,
demanding in return their "cartOlini,"
OF little papers. The barrel turns slow
ly round, then back again, and you find
on the ledge where you laid your lire,
paper of "cartOlini." These are very
small, thin, light-printed slips, neatly
folded in tiny packets, three to each
packet, which, if you swallow in faith,
will cure you of all disease.
After your talk is ended the barrel
turns round once more and presents its
face as of an immOvable and impene-
tTable bar. One of the very pretty ira
ditiOns of Rome is that each Sister has
her day, when she throws flower over |
the Convent wall as sign to her watch |
ing friends that she is still alive. When |
she is gathered to the majority the |
flower is not thrown, and the veil has
fallen forever.

ON THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1882,

The New York Times, Rep, goes tC
the point of Hubbell's blackmailing cir.
cular about which the Republican Con-
gressiOnal Committee is now on a very
uncomfortable grid-irOn:
The circular prepared by Mr.. Hubbell,
and sent to every official and emplOye
of the Government, is printed in fac
simile. 1t contains blank for the in
seTtiOn of the amount of money de-
maanded of each man. What would a
business man, or an emplOye of pTi-
vate concern, think of a photographic
note from Mr.. Hubbell, or anybody else,
informing him that it is hoped that his
voluntary contribution" ''may not be
less - specified sum? And it is
pretended that this assessment, which
is a percentage on the annual pay of
the recipient, is just voluntary con-
tributiOn as is asked of private citizens.
Where did Mr.. Hubbells committee pro-
cure the enormous list of Government
employees for the direction of these cir
culars? Finally, it is claimed that this
collection is not novel thing in poll
tics. Since when has it been consider
ed decent and dignified for members of
Congress to assess Federal office holders
the whole country for the
expense of electing Congressman?

From the day that the child's foot first

1t is claimed that a recent accident at
San Francisco developed a cure for
smallpox that had never been dreamed
of by the scientists. While crossing the
bay, boat containing sixteen persons
afflicted with the disease in its most
virulent form, was capsized. Fifteen
were rescued, but were compelled to re-
main in their wet garments in the cold
wind for an hour. The physicians firm
ly declared that not one could survive
such exposure; but all of the fifteen
were well within few days. Now it is

While the crowd stood about suggest

oi the animal which they struggled TO

occasionally saying In mild tones,
"Whoa, gee up Yankey."
"Put ginger In bis ear, never mind

" Put some burning straw IN his of

so loudly that the sound of air escaping
