ANOTHER ARKANsAw COLONY.
Fifty Thousand Acres of Land to
Wealthy Italians.
Little Rock Democrat, 81

Little Rock Democrat, 81
Messrs. Antonio Saspari, James
Grasiano and Lorenzo Veccheani, dis
tinguished and wealthy Italians, citi-
zens of Tyrol, arrived in the city yes
terday. They represent 5000 families
who have made their arrangements to
move to our State. The province of
Tyrol is almost sealed book, and it is
with the greatest difficulty that people
can emigrate. Colonel Slack, the
Little Rock and Fort Smith Land
Commissioner, with able assistance in
the Old World, has been working up
this move for months past, and it is
now crowned with success. The Wis
itors who went up to the new town of
0rfeiville (named in honor of Father
0rfei, of St. Louis, Faulkner county,
this morning in charge OF Dom He'll
mich, have already purchased $4,000
acres of land. The immigrants, who
are to arrive in the course of few
months, will engage very extensively
in grape growing and the manufacture
Of wine. Asa rule, those people have
sufficient means to make fine start,
and are very generally successful.

American and European Social
PecuIlarities.

talked to an accomplished Ameri-
can lady who has just returned from
several years absence in Europe.
Said 1: "Are you not glad to get back
to Washington"
II was glad to get back to America
she said, "but l do not know that |
can say the same about Washington.
This is a pleasant cline, and a stranger
to political history is for a while en-
tertained here until she has seen
something larger and more real. This
couatry gives no rest to the sole Of
the feet to person in pursuit of rest.
1t is one eternal tramp, tramp, tramp.
But in Washington, where there is,
perhaps, more response than in any
other American society, one is struck,
after return from study and quiet in
Europe, with the Enthusiastically of
the political society, 1t seems that
everybody is waiting for somebody
else to die and get his Office. The
restlessness of action here becomes the
restlessness of dependence and Of
small official ambition. There are no
peculairities in American socity of a
Feposeful kind.

place, and you will see the Oldest fam
lilies in Europe, like the Orsinis and
the Colonnas come up and put away all
Of their fine clothing, and wear straw
hats and sit out on the beach, hardly
distinguishable from fishermen. The
most American-like woman / saw at
an Italian watering place was the
widow OF the late King Victor EN-
manuel, who was his mistress many
years, until he found himself about to
die, as he thought, and the priests
would not give him absolution until
he married this woman. Old Victor
Emmanuel left two hundred illegiti
mate children, of course not by the
same mother, who we're all provided
for in the civil list of the State, &C.

This madam was an ignorant peasant
girl Of great personal beauty. She
came out every day 10 a cavalcade
with her dress decolette, her bJsou
and throat and arms covered with dia
monds, rubies and precious stones
aud her dress as magnificent as th'
wife Of a New York politician il

PENSIONING PRESIDEN rS'
WIDOWS.
The Committees Reasons for
InclOding Mrs. Polk and
Mrs. Tyler.

Washington special to Cincinnati Gazette.l
The Senate Committee of Pensions
in reporting the bill giving Mrs. Gar
field pension Of $4,000, gives the fol-
lowing reasons for placing the widows
of Presidents Tyler and Polk on the
list at same ratio:
10 April, 1879, Julia Gardner Tyler,
widow of John Tyler, formerly Presi-
dent Of the United States, appealed to
Congress to allow her a pension on
account of her poverty. In December,
1880, her prayer was granted, and she
was allowed the sum of $1,000 per an.
mum. Your Committee has been in
formed from reliable sources that the
sum allowed Mrs. Tyler is her sole
means of support. Your Committee
has also been informed that Mrs,
Sarah ChildFess Polk, widow of James
K. Polk, President OF the United
States, is at an advanced age, living in
the State If Tennessee, without a suf.
fcient income to support her in the
condition that she has heretofore
lived, and not in such a condition as
woman who has been the wife of the
Chief Magistrate Of the United States
is expected to live.
1t is painful to contemplate the fact
that the widows Of these illustriou,
men, who have served the country il
such high capacity, should be il

to. day said TO your correspondent that
it weuld be probably eight months OF

PLANTATION MANNERS.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, February T.
One of the most disgraceful events that
ever occurred in this city, took place
at the opera house to night during
Oscar Wilde's lecture on English
Renaissance" About one hundred
students from the University of Roch-
ester had engaged seats in the first
balcony, and came for the purpose of
doing their best to interrupt and insult
the speaker. They began by turning
out the lights in the balcony, and well
coined Mr.. Wilde with shouts and
Kisses. Manager Gobay called num-
Der of the police force, who succeeded
in keeping moderate order. One stu
dent was struck in the face with a
whip by policeman, and it was feared
a riot would ensue, but as it was the
insulting band served to annoy the
audience and disgracefully insult the
lecturer. When the lecture was about
half finished an old coloredman, hired
for the purpose by the students,
walked down to the froat seat of the
parquette. He was @sthetically dress
ed, having white kid gloves, knee
breeches, and wearing large bou-
quet Of various flowers, and his en- =
trance was greeted with upvoarious
shouts. 1t is not known what steps
will be taken in regard to the disgrace
full affair.

For many years there has been a law
in Virginia, as in Massachusetts, and
other States, requiring every citizen to
pay poll tax before he could enjoy
the privilege Of voting at an election.
This law in the Southern States was
designed to reach that class of persons,
chiefly negroes, who owned little or no
property, but who levied taxes on
Others and paid none themselves. An
other object in imposing poll tax-all
of which goes into the general school
fund Of the State-was to force the
negroes to contribute toward the edu.
cation of their own children, about
which they have appeared, since the
war, to have been extremely solicit.
Gus. The Readjusters of Virginia
have recently repealed the poll tax
law of that State, and the monopoly
holding darkios can exercise the right
of franchise and have their children
educated without paying one cent into
the public treasury.
