Information regarding late murder case.
The appearance OF the article created great

the police commissioners, and for al hour or
two there was lively time at headquarters.
The article gave full details Of the
confession by man in Texas that he was
implicated in the mysterious Lane murder,
which set al New Eng
land wild several years ago.
No one was supposed to know of the case
but the district attorney, the police commis-

people live in the country all their
lives without making one accurate OBJ
servation about nature. The good
observer of nature holds his eve long
and firmly to the point, and finally
gets the facts, not only because he has
patience, but because his eye is sharp
and his inference swift. There are
many assertions, the result of hasty
and incomplete observation, such as,
for instance, that the way the milky
way points at night indicates the di-
rection of the wind the next day; also =,
that every new moon indicates either
a dry or Il wet month. There are
many other stories about the moon

when farmer kills his hogs in the
fall, if the pork be very hard and solid
he predicts a severe winter, if soft and
loose, the opposite, overlooking the
fact that the kind of food and the
temperature of the fall make the pork
hard or soft. Numerous other in
stances could be cited to prove that
the would be-shrewd farmer does not
interpret nature in the right way, and
that his conclusions, being hasty and
incomplete, are wrong; and until he

Religion in Italy.

The Italian government, like most
other civilized governments of our
time, are at odds with their church
with respect to the management of
their schools. They can not find a
midway between the tuition of the Je-
suits, Scolopians, and Ignorantins, and
that of downright Freethinkers and
atheists. The church, which has all
her way in the seminare5 and Sunday
schools. would equally claim full con-
troll over all lay schools and academies.
The plea is that in Italy the people are
all Catholics, and can never be any
thing but that. But. unfortunately,
many are anything but that. Away
from the present class, the number of
true, earnest believers is incOnceivably
limited; and wherever intelligence is
found, the antagonism of the nation to
papacy is invincible. There are not
many thinkers in Italy, consequently
not many skeptics or positivists. But
religion is nowhere Il matter of more
supreme indifference than in that coun-
try. That churches are crowded, or
that new ones are built, is no proof to
the contrary. All evidence goes to
prove that paganism had no greater
honor paid to it in ancient Greece and
Rome than when the cry of clear sight
ed people was "LeS Djeur sen cont.

inc narrative: "a story was told me
by the late DR.. Favergren, Swede in
Persian employ, who had been twenty
five years in Shiraz, TO the effect that
scorpions, when they see no chance OF
escape, commit suicide; and he told
me that when one was surrounded by
a circle Of live Goals, it ran around
three times, and then stung itself to
death. did not credit this, supposing
that the insect was probably scorched,
and so died. happened one day to
catch an enormous scorpion OF the
black variety. In Persia they are OF
two kinds-black, and light green, or
greenish yellow; the black variety be-
ing supposed to be much the more ven
nomous The full-grown scorpions
generally are from two TO three inches
long; have seen one five inches when
extended from the tip Of the claws to
the sting, but he was phenomenal.
The one | caught was very large, and
to try the accuracy Of what supposed
to be a popular superstition prepared
in my courtyard circle of live char
coal yard in diameter | cooled the
bricks with water so that the scorpion
could not be scorched, and tilted him
from the iinger-glass in which he was
imprisoned uuhurt, into the center OF
the open space; he ran rapidly round
the circle three times, came back tc
the center, turned up his tail (wherC
the sting is) and deliberately by three
blows stabbed or stung himself in The
