Men Who Insul, Women.
W.lllam.nnrt Rreahfasl Ia,.i,

To people of good sense and intell- gence, there IS nothing so despicable as the sneers and petty insults 10 which are subjected by large number O. street loaiers, rowdies and roughs Wo- men who have spirit enough to work for their own support should be protected to the fullest eNien, of the law, and offend CTS in such cases should not be le, of with ligh, fines, as too often happens. .A nominal sum is generally imposed on the foul-mou,hed masher who insults the lady. and ,ha, is the end off it. If the law, ever available to strong men who can defend themselves from personal assaults ct petty nature, would only as- ser. itself in behalf of our noble working women and maintain their independence and freedom, the eternal fitness of things would be more apparent than Il is nov. The only way 10 protect women from mashers and rowdies Is to have the offend CTS imprisoned for thirty or sixty days Such remedy would be bitter and hard for the rough-shod kid glove gentry to ram the dose down .heir vulgar throats anu iudhS tuctl uiScSt it, ana Wnitc the guilty ones suffer from disgrace and hu- initiation an admiring world and thou sands of misused women will stand back and applaud. The other night as sales woman was leaving a store on Pine street big whiskered drummer stepped up to her and before a whole crowd proffered his arm, which the lady indig- nansly refused, passing on. Strange to say, among the crowd of fellows who witnessed the insult there was not one who had the manlincss to thresh the brute. but on the contrary they applauded his disgusting impotence with laugh that sent the blushes quivering over the face of the lady as she hastily retreated up the street. If there had been man among them he would have gone to the police office and had the woman-insulter arrested and jailed, or at leas, fined The masher's day is almost over in this country. and the sooner harsh measures are adopted in his ease the better for society.

The Corsini Palace,


The Corsini palace in the Lungara at
Rome has been brought by the govern
ment for $500. 900 francs SAY, elOO, OOol,
to be used as "palace of science" one
of the buildings voted in the plan for
tie reorganization of the city of Rome.
The price was for the building and the
land adjoining, and can not be an eX-
travagant one, for the grounds are rath-
er extensive; and then Prince Corsini
has made free gift of the picture gal
lery and library contained in the palace.
The gallery boasts no pictures of very
great merit-perhaps the one best
known is the Madonna by Carlo Dolce
which is a great favorite; but the IL
brary is very rich one, numbering
about sixty thousand volumes, besides
three thousand manuscripts, a Quanti-
of Indian and Chinese works, and q
large and valuable collection of engrav-
ings. The grounds behind the palace
running up the side of the Janiculm
are very picturesque with cascades
flowing down the hill, and magnificent
old planet trees. 1t is the intention
of the municipality to make botani-
cal garden here, the present site near
st. Maria Magglore being unified for
that purpose. Another palace, the
Barberini, is reported to have been sold
to Prince Torlonia, for 100000 francs;
but whether this includes the gallery
containing the "Cenci" and well-known
pictures, and the library, which is far
richer even than that Of the COrSini,
rumOr sayeth not.
