y FEW days ago.one of the soldiers quar-
tered in the barracks at Naples, having taken
onense at some of his comrades for calling
him a tinker, waited until bedtime, and i'm
medateIy after the signal for eXtinguishing
the lights was given, took down his rifle and
commenced firing Unfortunately among
them. Before he could be secured he had dis
charged no fewer than 81 shots, killing three
men on the spot and WOunding eight more,
one of whom died soon after being taken to
the hospital, while five Of the others are re-
ported to be in hopeless state.
THE Sultan's recent reception to the Crown
Prince of Austria was an extraordinarily
magnificent one. over f2000 900 were spent on
the festivities. a new palace was especially
built, with the finest new furniture, meats
were served in dishes of pure gold, and at
some of the festivals the whole court, thou
sands of soldiers and the entire fleet took
part. The criticism passed on this labOriOus
attempt to cOnciiiate the future ruler of Aus
tria and render him proof against any desire
to annex Turkish territory Is that the Crown
Prince has seen the Sea of MarmOra, and that
is enough to stir any sovereign's greed.
ROME as a capital has cost Italy dearly in
the lives of her public men. 1t would take a
long list to name all those eminent in the SER
wee of the state whose deaths might be traced
directly or indirectly to their residence in
Rome and diseases contracted there since 1870.
The death of Victor Emanuel. in the prime of
life. may have been due only. indirectly to his
residence in Rome, but many Of Italy's most
distinguished statesmen who have died within
the last few years owe their deaths to disease
contracted at the capital in the performance
of their public duties There are Ratazzi,
LAMA, Ricasoh Medici, and, within the last
few weeks, De Sanctis. Massari and now
Sella. Not all OF these died at Rome, or di-
rectly of the fatal "ROman fever" but all as
well as many others of less nOtOriety, died in
consequence of health ruined there, IN the
service of their country.
THE Isle of Man, says the 81. James Gazette,
ought to be more correctly styled the Isle of
Woman; since it is only in the kingdom of the
ManNmen that the claims of women are prop
erly recognized. BY way Of precedent to the
government which has the franchise bill in
hand, it is pointed out that the last time the
ManX Legislature had before it the question
of parliamentary reform it dealt with the
question of female suffrage as well. In 1881
the House of Keys passed bill which con-
as on men. But, enlightened as il is in other
respects, Man still grOans under an Upper
Chamber; and that body refused TO pass the
bill in its entirety, and only allowed a f4
ownership qualification to give the vote to
woman. However, even this Is something.
