form of aphasia in which speaking is impos-
sible, though the individual is able to sing

wished to say, without combining themselves

THE Italian army has for some years been
known as a legion of Benedicts. For many
years it was a royal rule that no officer holding
his Majesty's commission should marry unless
he possessed a certain amount of private in
come. Italy is not rich nation, and the
subaltefns of its army are not wealthy. The
consequence is that married officers have been
the exception, not the rule, IN Italy. The
grievaDce-for in this light the rule has been
regarded by it's victims-was recently brought
under the notice of his Majesty, and the King
has now relaxed the regulation. fixing the
marriage income of his officers at a 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, in
stead OF marrying in secret and repenting at
leisure.
REV. CHARLES GRAHAM has published the
story Of Charles Reade's conversion. With
regard to theatres Mr.. Graham writes: 'sEarlv
in 1880 Mr.. Reade asked my advice in relation
to his connection with the theatre. NY reply
was that he had row found a new Master,
from whom it was both his privilege and duty
to seek guidance. Soon after he said to me,
from me. ] am done with the theatre But
here il is only right to say that in the meshes
of that evil net he allowed himself to be again
entangled. OF his sin in this ENHANCEMENT
my valued friend soon became convinced
Confined to his room by one Of his severe
bronchial attacks called on him, when I'M
mediately he said to me, i have backslidden
from God; l have returned TO the world. Is
there no mercy for meY pointed him to the
examples of Daniel and Peter" 1t is some-
what remarkable, says the London Truth, that
with these singular views as to the iniquity of
all connection with theatres Mr.. Reade should
have, in his own epitaph, described himself as
a dramatist.
THE latest sport in Paris among the young
goDanseas of the day is to offer a supper in
some Of the swell restaurants, where the room
and the lights are given by the host for a
costly sum, while the guests are only allowed
the food which they bring and which they
must steal on their way down to the rendez-
vOus. a correspondent says: NThe Young
fellow who had invited me to see the fun stole
some three pounds of cherries as his share of
the programme, While mutual friend Joined
us with a 5dnb0n1eduG under his arm,
wrapped up in his handkerchief. Not being
considered intelligent enough,I was allowed to
come in, as an unproductive outsider. with pre-
else stipulation that mum was the word. The
table showed a most thorough aptitude on the
part of young France to the power and POSI-
bility of helping itself. The fashion was set
some years since by the Duke de MOrny. 1t
is to be presumed that any fragrant act of
appropriation to the needs of the moment
would in the end be paid for, but for the time
being the viands, wines and flowers have all
the flavor of stolen sweets"
AN Indian maiden was sent about year
ago by her parents, who are intelligent civil
lied aborigines, to the school'at Carlisle, Pa,
to be educated. The young girl was one Of
the handsOmest Indian maidens ever seen at
the institution, and could SPEAK English with
fair success, at least well enough to exchange
love messages with young Howard White
wolf. of Carlisle, who became smitten with
her charms. She learned to love the pale
faced youth, and opportunities for clandestine
meetings were found at which vows of ever
lasting constaDcy were exchanged. Alas, the
dusky daughter of the plains loved not wise
~. In consequence of her indiscretiOn she
was sent few weeks ago to the Rosine Home,
at No. 1926 Germantown avenue, Philadel-
phia. where she remained until Monday last.
In the meantime young WhitewOlf, who is a
person of good family and generous impulses,
was easily prevailed upon to marry the girl
and take her to his home as his wife. The
wedding occurred at the Roslne Home last
Monday in the presence of large number of
the friends of the Institution.
MORALITY has proved too much for Spa.
The government suppressed the gambling and
paid a million dollars or so to heal the wound.
This the authorities of the town failed to in
vest so as to lessen the taxes needful to take
care of the parks, casino, etc.. but spent 1t in
building new paviliODs, ornamental ratings
and the like. In spite of this furnishing, VS.
itors in sufficient number declined to come
when the attraction Of the green tables was
no longer present. and the town found its ex-
penses increased and its resources diminished.
in this emergency a scheme has been sub
mitted by a company of Partisan spectators
which is likely to be accepted. This ''syndi-
cate" proposes to pay the town about $4,000
year and to take over all the public estab-
Iishments, keeping up the same as heretofore.
It also undertakes to exDend not less than
$4,000 in advertising in the English and

and about the same number Of days pigeon
