possible until the danger period has

The Legion of Benedicts.

From the Boston Daily Herald.
The Italian army has for some
years been known as legion of Ben
edicts. For many years it was a royal
rule that no officer holding his Males
tvs commission should marry unless
he possessed certain amount of pri-
vate income. Italy is not a rich
nation, and the subalterns of Its army
are not wealthy. The consequence is
that married officers have been the ex-
ception. not the, rule, in Italy. The
grievance-for in this light the rule
has been regarded by its victims-was
recently brought under the notice of
his Majesty, and the King has now
relaxed, the regulation, fixing the mar
rage income of his officers at point
which will enable gallant gentlemen
to enter the bonds of matrimony in
the broad light of day, as becomes the
action of the soldier, instead of mar
rying in secret and repenting at leis-
