A Story Of Brigandage.

On our very uncomfortable train from
Rome to Naples, the conversation hap
pened to turn upon brigandage, which
was so common in the good old times,
when travellers by carriage were sure to
be stopped by armed brigands and
robbed, some of the party being taken
up into the mountains and held for ran
som. A favorite practice was to cut of
a slice of an English or an Americans
ear and send it to his friends with the
assurance that if the sum demanded for
his release was not forthcoming, the
head in its entirety would follow. Those
who were foolish enough not to make
some compensation were actually butch
cred, fori was part of the brigands'
trade to have people understand that in
one thing, at least, they were as good
as their word. Likewise if the ransom
money demanded was paid they would
really release the prisoner, it being to
their interest to have it understood that
they were gentlemen. They did not
want to kill for they preferred money
if they got money without releasing the
victim, no more ransom money would
be paid, and if, on the other hand, they
released without payment, no money
would be paid anyhow. In this matter
they were honest, and it was the only

The Guard Over PATHS Diamonds.

s.Patti's diamonds cost her $500, 900,
and she is terribly afraid of them. She
insists upon having nothing to do with
them beyond wearing them during one
act of the opera. The care of her dia-
monds costs her quite sum of money.
They are worth looking after. One Of
her stones. weighing l don't know how
many hundred carats, belonged to
Catharine of Russia" so said Colonel
Mapleson to q reporter. '.Her great
triple necklace, continued the Colonel,
contains 122 diamonds of an average
value of $500. Her string of turguoises,
which she wears in the first act of La
Traviata, is unique and cannot be
matched. / do not know what it is
worth-probably about $4,000. She is
known to buy fine stones. and when q
London or Paris jeweler comes across
something really out of the way he sends
a description of it to Patti In this way
she has collected Jewels which will sell
to-day for at least S2O0,000 apart from
the associations. But she is in constant
fear lest they attract burglars or high
waymen. / have often been surprised

where Patti lives when in New York.
ION the nights when the diva is to
sing these men get from the great safe
in the hotel the satchel containing the
diamonds and take it in a carriage
to the Academy. They wait around
the door of PATHS dressing-room
until her maid asks for the bag,
when it is handed in. Soon after
Patti comes out, wrapped in long
cloak, which she wears until she makes
her entrance. The diamond men
keep their eyes on her. As soon as she
is through with them the men leave as
silently as they came.
Patti always insists that she never
carries diamonds with her. for she saws:
IF it was known that carried them

or the carriage tipped over. or the coach

about PATHS diamonds are counterfeits

At the time when the present Executive en-

CIVIL RIGHTS.
The Fourteenth Amendment of the Consti-
tuition confers the rights of citizenship upon
all persons born or naturaiZed in the
United States and subjected to the juris-
dictiOn thereof. 1t was the special
purpose of this amendment to insure the
members of the colored race the full enjoy
ment of civil and political rights. Certain
statutory provisions intended to secure the en-
forcement of these rights have been recently
declared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court. Any legislation whereby Congress
may lawfully supplement the guarantees
which the Constitution affords for the equal
enjoyment by all citizens of the United States
of every right, privilege and immunity of cit
henship, will receive my unhesitating APP

While Edouard Frcre's pictures have
been painted almost without exception
in his secluded home, they have found
their way to all art centers. In England
they are especially admired. Early in
his successful career he was persuaded
to visit friend in London. He enjoyed
the novel experience exceedingly. but
as he was entirely unacquainted with
the English language, he was extreme
ly dependent on his friend. He was in
vited with him on one occasion to q
grand dinner. There were speeches
and toaSts, of which he understood not
one word; but he followed his friends
cue, applauded where he applauded and
answering the jokes and stories with an
appreciative smile. Presently some one
at the other end of the table proposed q
toast which was greeted with universal
enthusiasm. Papa Frere clapped his
hands with the rest, whereat every one
smiled or laughed and applauded more
uproariously. Following his friends
example, Papa Frere smiled, nodded
and cheered; but was overcome with
confusion when it was explained to him
that he had been applauding his own
name and some extremely fiattering
compliments which had just been paid
him. 1t might have occurred to
Madame Frere that this was the case,
for to her swift intuitions no success
which comes to her husband is sur.
prise, and she shares his honor with the
calm satisfaction of one who had fore
seen them from the first. But Papa
Frere was of too simple and modest
nature to imagine for moment that
such admiration could be meant for him.
The same sweet and unassuming
spirit dwells in him still. His genius,
not satisfied with past achievements,
has ripened and matured with conscien-
tious study, SO that his later pictures are
better than the ones which made him
famous. The world about him changes,
the old people pass away and the chill.

Women i'm Italy.

How little we know of people unless
we live with them. Our idea of Italian
women, for instance. is that they spend
their time, like Turkish Sultans, Sleep
ing or lounging listlessly on soft touches,
their only occupation being love-mak-
ing, or perchance learning how to sing
love songs. Never was there greater
mistake. Italian women, even in towns
and in good circumstances, work harder
than any other women know. Not Il
stitch is done in the house that they do
not do. They spin and make their own
linen. rear their own silk worms, knit
their own stockings and the stock
ings of their whole family, make their
own dresses, hats, bonnets and cloaks,
and superintend all the baking, cooking
andcleaning of the house. if. they do not
positively do them themselves. They
rarely 60 out except on Sundays and
rarely receive visitors, unless in the
highest society, where one day week
is set aside for receiving. They are
perfect slaves to their husbands, whose
comfort they study from morning until
night. l have heard much of Italian
Illicit love-making, but l have never
seen it. 1t may exist, perhaps, among
the aristocracy, but in the middle and
lower classes it is more imagination
than reality. Bonny brides, even in
high society, still maintain the custom
of making their own wedding outfits.
A young friend of mine. who has Just
married, has brought her husband four
dozens of every article of body and
house linen, all made and embroidered
with her own hands, even the lace which
trims the house linen being of her own
work. All the stockings, also, were
knitted by herself. Nor is this the ex-
ception; it is the rule in Italy. Who,
after this, shall say the Italian women
are idlers? No one, certainly, who has
known and seen them, as l have, will
ever say so; on the contrary, l would
hold them up as models for all other
women to initiate. Why, even in Rome,
once the capital of the world, the wom-
en- spend their time between their
house and church, varying these with
an occasional walk on Sundays and
great holidays, while everything in the
house is done by themselves, and for
the most part without servant, SER
wants being too expensive for most in
comes now-a-days.-Ltalian Cor. Boston

A Sinking Mountain.

One of the most extraordinary of the
MANY disturbances of earth's crust
which have occurred during the last
two or three years is the sinking of the
Mountain of Naiba, in Algiers. This
mountain, which is, or was, about twice
as high as the Crows Nest on the Hud-
son, IS said to be gradually descending
into the bosom of the earth, deep ex-
cavation being formed all around it as
it settles. There are several instances
on record of volcanic mountains having
risen out of the earth or the sea, and a
few of mountains which have sunk into
the earth. The Japanese have a legend
that the great volcanic peak OF Fusi-
yama rose suddenly out of the earth,
and it is known that in 1859 the volcano
Of Jorullo, in Mexico, rose in one night
out of cultivated plain. In 1881 there
was a similar occurrence in San Saliva
dor, a volcanic hill rising suddenly out
of the middle of the Lake of IlOpango.
But, in these cases the phenomena of
the rising mountains were accompanied
by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
So the recent disappearance of volcanic
islands and the thrusting up through
the bottom of the sea of sixteen new
volcanoes near Java were the accompa-
niments of great CONFUSION of the
earth's crust. But the sinking of the
Algerian mountain, it appears, is not
attended by earthquakes, and is not the
result of volcanic eruption. The SUBJ
terranean props of the mountain seem
to have given away under its weight,
and it is subsiding into the ground.-M.
Y. Tribune.
