George W. Smalicy, London correspondent
of The Tribune. is a son-in-law of Wendell
Phillips. He graduated from Yale college.
and won his journalistic spurs by writing in
a baggage car II report of the butte of An
tietam. In 1861, while John Russell Young
was out OF the city, Smalley was temporarily
in charge of The Tribune. Amos j. Cum
mings was night editor. Greeley had

To lecture before IA Father Mathew
society, hal left the Office without reading
bis proof sheets. He asked Cummings to go
over the revise proof. Amos did SO, John
Robinson holding the manuscript.
Everything was all right, but when Amos
went upstairs to make up the editorial page
he found a surprising mark on the revised
proof-sheet. Greeley hal referred to "Symmes'
Hole" in bis article, and Smalley, who lad
never heard OF "Synmes' Hole,n Lad

was the reply. "Well," said the great editor,
throwing lis hat on the floor. you're a id
blockhead." The night editor produced the
proof sheet with the alteration in Smnlley's
handwriting, and told his story. Horace
stood like one dazcd. "Nell, Amos" he finally

How italian Peasants Tried 10 Get
Rain for Their Crops.
tltome Cor. Boston Herald
The long drouth that has prevailed in
southern Italy, was beginning to work oven
worse effects on the minds Of the country peo-
pie than on the crops themselves Irascible
and eIcitable enough at best, such niggardly
treatment ut the hands of the Heavenly
powers was fast exciting a revolutionary
fury that BODIED mischief. or the wrathful
temper growing ripe. judge from the follow
ing incidents: A lady, who has Just come here
from Sicily, told me that ia n village near
Taormina, where she was staying, the peas
ants, in their DESPAIR, took out Of the sacristy
an old and rather dilapidated Image OF the
Virgin and had it handsomely ~regilded, as
'ho wing a disposition on their part to do the
generous thing by her, and so make sure of
her help. Then, forming a procession, men,
women and children went out to a neighbor-
ing hill, the priests bearing the sacred image
an Ter a canopy. and spent several hours in
loud outcries for rain. The position was a
favorable one for the blessed lady to SET Just
what the state OF affairs was throughout the
whole parched and gaping surrounding coun-
try, and to rob her OF every excuse that she
had been shut up in the sacristy and knew
nothing about it Then, the service over, all
uarceed backed to their homes, and tile VEN
eruble image was rpverentinIly restoIGl to
Its place.
The first day followed and still no rain,
then a second, then u third. This was too
much for human patience, and when the
fourth day came, dry and arid as before, the
popular fury broke loose. StDrming the
sacristy, the cruel image was torn down, a
rope tied around its neck, and then dragged
for two hours through every dirty street OF
the village. the children llooting, the dogs
barking, and the men and women hehping
blows and imprecations on it. As q final
mark of hatred, a swampy place was sought
tut in VIII CHI a little water remained, and
into tn S was thrown the .hard-hearted and
ungrateful lady. All were determined on
one point-namely: to give her a soak, even
II she would not give them one in turn, AMI
to let the heavenly powers understand, so
far as kicks and curses would express It, just
what the inhe bitants OF that villuge thought
OF them Strange enough, the day after this
outbreak OF fury rain actually fell Then an
equal reaction toward reinorse set in. The
image was ~rcverentially taken out OF the
ditch, money raised to repair aud regild it,
and a services Of Thanksgiving oiferei fur It's

When the housewife appreciates that
variety is quite as much the spice of life
in a physical sense as I'M mental one, and
that consequently her husband will be
better prepared to work successfully, and
her children more beautifully nourished,
as soon as she learns to stimulate their
appetites and strengthen their muscles by
an attractive diversity of well prepared
food, our vigor as a people will be in
creased, our capacity for effort enlarged,
our wealth augmented, and our progress
gnickened. The above is from Mrs.

Jr., Adam Schilling, A. j. Whitman,
Charles j. Godbold, Ben Smalley, j.

This team, as they always do, made
splendid runs, and were, as it would seem,
determined to win the front at all hazards
In the hook and ladder race they made a
score of 80 seconds, while in the hose race
their time was 36I seconds.

gene Callahan, VIII S,haeffer, George
Thompson, j. Granger and Burt Thomp-
son. They made a run with a light hose
cart and got water III 40 seconds. They
got $40 as a prize.
1t will be seen that according to the
foregoing record of the scores made, the
Durlnts are first in the hose races, and
the Alerts second, while in the hook and
ladder contest the j. T. Clarks stand 80,
and the Durants 81 and one twenty-sixth.
If the prizes are awarded in accordance
with this record it would give to the Dur
ants and to the Clarks each a prize ofS75,
and to the Alerts aud the Durants again,
ilso each a prize OF s25. A contest has,
however, arisen owing to the dispute
growing out of the water pressure ques-
ton. With this The LEADER has moth
jng to do and will therefore not discuss
the merits or dement's of the controversy.
1t will, no doubt, be amieably arranged in
time.

first a gold badge and the second silver,
took place between II. b. Rice, Lockwood

A jackson, H. Moore and 7. n. Shanks.
Chief Hapnifan was upon horseback
riding up and down the course during the
afternoon, giving the necessary orders.
announcing the time made by the different
teams, and handled the affair with much
skill and discretion. There was during
the afternoon some disagreement and dis
pnte about the amount of pressure on the
water in the hydrants, and in regard to
some other matters which occasioned
much delay and some little bad feeling,
but in the main the affair passed off very
pleasantly. The arrangement was that
each team should run twice-once with
the hook and ladder apparatus and once
with hose carts. The run was to be a dis
lance of FIVE hundred feet, and the point
TO be gained was in the case of the hook
and ladder which should make the dis
lance and send the climber TO the top
round of the ladder first, and when run
ming as a hose company which should
make a run of four hundred feet, lay out
two hundred feet of hose, attach to the
hYlrant and get water from the nozzle
first. The record made by each team and
the score in both runs made during the
afternoon are given below.
