BALTIMORE, March 20.-The receipt of the

excitement in this city. A large number of

tending the academy are from Baltimore
The rumor soon spread that the buildings
had been burned and that many of the
pupils had persisted. A telegram finally re-
celved from the sister superior announcing
that all the children had been taken to a
place of safety allayed apprehensions. The
streets were crowded with friends of those
at the academy who sought the latest news

a Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla

"In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating FORMS
At one time I had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intoIerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, l was worse than ever.
Finally on the recommendation of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsapari1la. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
. disappeared, except the unsightly scars. which

An Old Story.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.


Here is the latest version of an old,
old story which has once more been
disinterred to go the rounds of the
Continental press. A missionary
who had been sent out to Greenland
had to be recalled, after having lived
for a considerable time among the
Esquimaux, because he had not made
a single convert On reaching
home, he was interrogated by the
President Of the society as to the rea-
son for his failure. Sir" he replied,
1.-The natives listened to me with the
greatest attention, and would crowd
around me In the bitterest cold and
the deepest darkness, until began to
think of the terrers of hell fire which
would be prepared for all those who
did not give heed to my words. The
thought of going to place where it
was always warm affected them differ
emily from what [ expected, for the
prospect appeared 50 desirable to the
poor creatures trembling with cold
that from the same hour they left me
they never came back" 1t is said
that another missionary was shortly
after sent out by the same society,
who was warned to be less explicit in
his description of the place of torment
awaiting the unconverted Greenland
ers after death.

| There is a good deal of drivel uttered
and written about the independence of
the American girl, but it may be
questioned with becoming pertinence
whether, after accepting attentions
which are not infrequently purchased
at sacrifice, and placing herself
under obligations for the same, she is
in reality as independent as the Italian
girl, whom stringent social usage
debars from accepting purchasable
favors from a gentleman.
The ladies may pay a visit after
leaving the cafe. The conversation
at these visits is, as a rule, neither
brilliant nor exciting. Until of late
the education of Italian women has
been neither varied nor very thorough,
and magazine literature, the armory
of the American, is yet in its infancy.
But it is delightful to hear them dis
cuss, in soft. musical accents, the
latest style of bonnet, the play, or
how Don Sebastiano breaches. Their
conversational powers may not be en-
shaving to the listener, bat their un-
affected simplicity is ravishing. I have
often sat, a willing and delighted
thrall, to a bevy of these robins chirp-
ing about dresses and millinery.
And when they talked their own poets
and quoted them / cease to wonder
that Dante apotheosized his Beatrice,
or that Petrarch deifed his Laura.
Returning home, the ladies doff
their finery and pat on calico If it
be in the winter time the long, tedious
evening is eked out by them in alter
nate sewing and shivering, for even
the wealthiest families have no fires.
The houses are cool and pleasant in
summer but cold and dismal ia win
ter. Even in the hotels, which have
frepiaces and fires in Difference to the
wants of foreigners, everything goes
up the chimney but the smoke. Each
lady holds Ia her lap small bronze
or earthen vase-called a scaldius-in
which there is burning charcoal, and
over which she warns her chilblained
fingers. She may have chaufferette
under her chilling feet, but for the
rest she shivers and wishes that the
men would return, that supper may
be eaten, and folks may go to bed.
Extreme sanitarians decry late sup
pers, In healthy prosestations against
their rantings stand the Italians, as
sound and long lived race as any
other. Between 10 and II o'clock at
night the father and son of our family
return and supper is eaten-a substan-
tial meal, consisting Of soup, meat,
salad and fruit, with wine as a neces-
sary beverage. Tea is only used as
a medicine. The supper is the pleas
ATTEST and mosI homelike meal OF the
day. The family chat is prolonged
until late, and then the children kiss
the hands Of the parents, get their
benison for the night, and all retire.
The men of such a family may be
happy enough after their own fashion
and conception of home happiness.
But the women2 With their quaint
faNcies and pent-up Iongings for
something that is always near, to lean
upon and to love and to cohsiderate
and worship as the sacrament of home,
I doubt if they can be truly happy.
