Religious Fanatics in Sicily.
[Cor. Chicago Times


In Sicily, so long subject to Phoenician fD<
Ruence, some of the religious usages are so
barbarous and revolving as almost to make
one wonder whether they may not be hnger
ing memories of the bloody Baal worship
There is, for instance, a village in the noun
tains above Taormina, where a yearly
"festa" is held in honor of saint whose
shrine lies in little rocky strong hold, ap
preached for the last quarter of mile by
a steep path strewn with loose, sharp
pointed stones, which makes walking no easy
matter, even in the stoutest travelling boots.
Yet up this path crowds OF pilgrims
drag themselves painfully-not even on
hands and knees, as at the "Scala Santa, ]"
at Rome, but literally fat Oh the ground.
with open mouths and tongues protruded,
to lick the stones which tear the skin and
lacerate limbs like SO many lancet5 and
knives.
When they have thus struggled up to the
altar of the chapel and stand once more up
right they present CHASTITY appearance;
clothes torn t. rags, blood dripping from
geshes on breast. limbs and face; their
swollen tongues refusing to re-enter their
mouths. The terrible ordeal is undergone
with conscientious rigOr, whether by the
father who has made his vow at the bedside
of dying child, the sailor in imminent
peril at sea, the jealous lover, or the assassin
in dubious th-grapple with his resisting
victim. All alike, after confession, and in
consideration of this terrible penance, re-
ceive dissolution and communion.
In anothe village the same sort of peni.
tential VOW is performed by the pilgrims
standing, stripped to the waist, in rows.
Each one is armed with one of the formida-
BILE thistIes which are used for wool-carding,
and with which they mercilessly flagellate
each others shoulders, every 1agellant
stimulated to fercer efforts in infiicting
pain on another by the pain he feels himself,
until at last they drop faint and bleeding
from the ranks. The strong hold which
these heather rites retain on the southern
mind is shown by the fact that the govern
ment, however much it may disapprove and
discountenance them, dares not yet actively
Interfere with them.

The board of representatives of the
Fire Department held their regular meet
ing last evening at the Bell Tower. There
was full attendance. Second Assistant
Engineer julius Asch presided in the
absence of the Chief and First Assistant.
The roll was called and the minutes of
the previous meeting were read and APP
proved. Several communications were
then read from the different COM
panies, and a number of bills or
dered to be paid. The Committee on the
Chinese effigy was discharged. A long
discussion next took place with regard to
the bell in the central tower, which can
not be heard at any great distance,
owing to it's not being properly hung.
Foreman Raseman moved that the bell
be fixed 50 as it could be heard at much
greater distance. One member said it
could not be heard so far away as the
Fort-street Church bell. After further
discussion the matter was left in the
hands of the Executive Committee to
make the necessary repairs. 1t trans
pired at the meeting that the Chief En-
gineer, during his visit to the States,

Nature is as remorseless in dealing with
men as with the beasts of the field. There
is nothing kindly in her treatment If
any of her laws are violated the penalty
falls upon the offender, often with ten
fold force upon the heads of his children
The man who regards himself as a ma

of work in the course of the year, with
no more rest than is given to bit of

his folly. 1t may come in great weari-

cature of his former feverish energy. or
in the total collapse of the whole system

ADVICE TO GENTLEMEN,

To Be Read with the Hope That 1t Does
Not Apply to Yourself, Your Friends or
Your Relatives.
The following article has been sent us
with the request to publish it. We trust
it does not apply to any of the relatives
or friends of our readers: Allow me to
give some advice to gentlemen from
twenty to forty years of age, who can
see so many faults in the opposite sex
and none in their own. As it has now
become fashionable for gentlemen to
express publicly their disapprobation of
the dress, manners, habits and educa-
ton OF the female community at large.

also should be permitted to make public
our opinions of the sort of men which
we would. and would not like TO marry.

living, besides putting his hand to any
little manly job about his own house.

The fact is, my dear fellows, you want,
generally speaking, more common
sense and less puppyism. more knowl-
edge and less foppery, more manliness
and less impudence, more honor and
less falsehood. more brains and less
mustache! Shave off your mustaches
and be more like men and less like
monkeys; throw away your cigars and
walking-sticks, take useful book into
your fingers and try if you can pick up
bit of common knowledge, SO that in
time you may learn to be what the God
of Nature designed. l submit the above

riously speaking, it is much to be de-
plored that such creatures as these,
without affection, knowledge, means,

selected for husbands, and a change in
this order of things is consummation
devoutly to be wished for Western

Very few Mexican ladies dare TO be
seen in public on horseback, as it is
there considered vulgar form of exer-

English or American ladies who take
horseback exercise usually adopt the
Mexican costume, as far as the hat is
c.ncerned, wearing broad-brimmed
felt hat (simiiar in shape to the ordi-
nary Mexican sombrero) in either
black, light gray or pale maroon
color. In these sombreros, which are
made of much lighter weight for ladies
than those worn by men, they look very
jaunty. The rest of the costume is al
most exactly the same as that worn by
equestriennes in Paris, London or New
York.-N. Y. Herald.
