lido not know why the women of
the Venetian popolo have acquired a
reputation for certain elastic ty OF
mOrals-unless it has been given them
by those who wished to find 1t so.
The reputation is not deserved, nor
fairly based. The custom of the city
has always been in favor OF a
quasi Oriental treatment of women.
The wife's place is indoors; she has
mas no business to be out all
without her husband or a very good
reason. Even in her own house she
will not stay in the room where her
husband has his friends to supper,
unless there are four or five other
women to keep her companY-in
which case they all sit together at
the foot of the table. If there are no
other women present, the wife will
retire to the kitchen and
Join in the conversation at
the top of her voice from that
safe and invisible retreat. For the
rest, the women of the quarter keep
one another in order. Each one
knows very well that all her neigh.
bors would be down upon her, and
that she dare hardly appear in the
streets if she made notorious false
step. So the wife stays at home; and
very likely until her own children be
gin to arrive she will have her mother

MASQUERADING AS A La

Freaks ofthe English Bon Ton.

LONDON, June. 2O.-To-morrow's
issue of Vanity Fair will contain a
startling sensation, involving scan
da'ous charge against lady of title
and high social standing. According
to Vanity Fair. a young person who
has been for some time in the lady's
employ as confidential lady's maid,
has been discovered by the police to
have been practicing a shameless de-
ception. The newspaper does not
venture to divulge the lady's name,
but refers all inquiries to the police.
This public reference to a scandal
which has for several days past been
whispered about IN the clubs
is expected to cause a

Disputed Titles to Hot Springs
Lands.

Hot SPRINGS, Ark, June PA
large number of citizens have signed
petitions to congress praying for leg
iSlation to settle the disputed titles to
property on the original government
reservation here. Litigation is now
pending In the courts over the title,
and unless relief is had it promises to
be considerably prolonged. The Uni
ted States supreme court having in a
recent decision practically reversed the
action of the government COM
mission In the adjunction of titles,
the original claimants, who had been
deposed in lieu of the lesseeS or occu-
pants of land, gain great vantage
ground in fighting for the restoration
of their aims. The petitioners
claim that Ex-Governor Rector, the
leading plaintiff, encouraged by the
recent supreme court decision, after
resting and acquiescing in the gov
eminent commissioners awards OF
five years since, has within few
weeks past instituted eight suits
against property holders under the
commissioners awards. EX-Govern-
or Rector, in a card to-day, urges
that if congress should upset
the recent supreme court
decision, other people might pro-
woke it to go further and ascertain if
mistake was not made in giving the
property to the government instead of
to the New Madrid claimants. Among
their grievances the petitioners set
forth the following: Senator Garland,
who has been for twenty yen the at
torney maintaining the claim to the
New Madrid location, which all the
courts have declared invalid, argued
strenuously in favor of bill granting
an appeal from adjudications of the
commissioners, and strove I'M
successfully in the senate to have
a review of the decisions and
adjudications by filing a petition in
the United States Court of Claims.
But we find the distinguished gentle
man urging in the Senate its passage,
with arguments to show his client a
claimant with color of title. Soon we
find him in the United States Supreme
Court with the prestige of Senator
and the ingenuity of lawyer, using
the same arguments in favor OF an.
nulling the same adjudications and
disturbing title to millions Of proper
ty and depriving hundreds of poor
constituents of their homes that he
may achieve triumph for client"

ReoneninD the EngliSh Case.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-The COM
mittee appointed by the house to
ascertain if Hon. w. II. English had
used improper means on the floor OF
the house to influence members to
vote to seat his son, as member from
Indiana, decided to-day to reopen the
case.
Mr.. Willard asked English, during
his examination before the committee,
if he had gone to members at their
homes to urge them to vote for his
son?
Objection was made, and the ques-
ton ruled out.
After the case had closed, the demo
Gratis thought the matter over, and de-
cided that failure to answer ques-
ton would have been looked on as an
admission that the accusation was
true, and it would be injustice to Mr.
English not to let him reply. So, on
Tuesday next, the case will be res
pended to, and English put on the

RAILROAD NEWS.

ST. LOUIS, June 27.-The Wabash
railroad CORP INV have entered into
an agreement with a syndicate of
capitalists, not yet named, by which
the latter will take off the hands of
the former the Quincy, Missouri and
Pacific road, extending fIom Quincy,
Illinois, to Trenton, Missouri, with
all attaching obligations. The object
of the syndicate is said to be to oper-
ate the road from Quincy to st. Joe,
in opposition to the Hannibal and st.
Joe. To do this they will construct
a new road from st. Joe to near a
point on the r. l. & p. use the track
of the latter to Trenton, and run
thence over their own line to Quincy.
This route will be only seven mi es
longer than the Hannibal and st. Joe,
and is to be in complete operation
within a wear.

A NEEDLE ONITS TRAVELS

From the New York Herald.
Ten years ago woman residing in
Harlem, while walking across the
floor in her stocking feet, stepped
Gpol needle, which entered her right
foot between the lnstep and the joint
of the large toe. Several doctors tried
to extract the needle, but it seemed to
have disappeared. The foot and leg
swelled to a great size, and the woman
was confined to her bed Tor upward of
three months. Then one evening her
daughter rushed up from the grocery
store beneath, and said that there were
burglars in the house, The mother
jumped out of bed, and the burglar
had just time to get his heels out of
the back window before she had got
down stairs and was after him. When
the doctor called that day his patient
was about, attending to her work as
she had done before she met with the
mishap. THAT run down the stairs
has cured me, l do believe" she said
to the doctor, and the latter after that
time was patient less.
1t was but short time afterward,
however, that in lacing her shoe a
sharp pain was found at the instep.
This lasted for several weeks, and
then there was pricking sensation
in the calf of the leg, which a few
months later was transferred to the
thigh. At the end of year there was
no further annoyance, and the needle
itself again for nine years. A couple
of weeks ago the woman felt a sharp
pain at the point of what the doctors
1ol q nrfi 10
located just at the lower termination
said there was a foreign substance
there, and when the needle incident of
ten years before was recalled and re-
lated to them they advised an opera
ton. The advice was rejected, but on
Saturday last the pain became so bad
that physician in East 111th. street,
was summoned. Just above and to
the right of the umbilicus he found
something that evidently did not be-
long there. He made half-inch
deep incision about an inch in length,
inserted pair OF nippers and drew
out-eye foremost-a needle more
than an inch long. 1t had worked
its way down some three inches from
where the pain was first experienced.
When removed the needle was as
smooth and as sharp as the day it was
turned out from the factory, but was
colored dark blue, somewhat mot
tied. The doctor has carried it in his
pocketbook since Saturday, but al
though it has been carefully wrapped
up it has rusted very much since it
was extracted.
A number of stories of the travels
of a needle through the human system
have been published, but it is said
that probably not more than half q
dozen are authentic. 1t would not
necessarily cause death if the needle
passed through veins, the lungs Oh
even the heart in its erratic peregrina
tions through the body.
