Medi@valism is not yet quite extinct
in Italy; and occasionally the fine old
stiletto instinct asserts itself. An ex-
quisite little instance has just occurred
at Viterbo, near Rome. A Sicilian
named Calvagno and several of his ac-
completes were charged with murder.
Some of them confessed their guilt,
but a sympathetic jury acquitted all
the prisoners. The President of the
tribunal naturally protested, corana

mob broke into the court, intent
upon little murder on its own account.

The Last Man.
BY W. CLARKE RUSSELL.


A small iron, full-rigged ship was in
latitude ten degrees north of the equa-
cor, outward bound for a New Zealand
port. The sun would be setting in an
hour; already his disk was rayless and
Of dark and angry gold, and his refec-
tion lay in broad and waving dazzle
upon the western swell. A pleasant
draugh Of air, blowing softly over the
port quarter, had kept the light canvas
sleeping all the afternoon; but the
lower sails hung up and down, and, as.
the ship leaned upon tho gentle undu-
lations, the tender swinging Of their
folds waited cool currents over the
fevered deck, as though some gigantic
punkah-wallah, perched aloft, were fan
ning the ship. The deep blue Of the
sea scarcely wrinkled by the breeze,
stretched around, and the water-line
was like an azure cincture, clasped.
where the glory of the sam hung, by q
plate of gold; but oveg the side the
water was like an exquisite transparent
green, in which you could see the metal
hull of the vessel wavering until the
bend hid it; and It was enough to pos
sess a man, half-blinde8 with the heat
that came off the brassy glare under the
sun, with q calenture to look into the
glass-like emerald profound, and to
think of the GOODNESS and sweetness to
be got by lazy floating on the serene
surface of that fathomleas depth.
Il was the second dog-watch; no work
was doing and the heat was too great for
any kind of diversion. One saw num-
Der of open-breasted, messy bosomed
seamen overhanging the forecastle rail,
pipe in mouth, with drowsy eyes sleepily
looking away into the blue distance,
while low throaty murmur of voices
Goated aft from forward, where the black
cook, standing in the galley door, was
arguing with Dutch sailor. There was
Z farn-yard noise too of muttering hens,
mixed with the routing and the grub
bing grunt Of q pig or tive; and strange
eastern bird, secured by the leg, was
clawing with beak and talons up and

African Currency.

The African traveller, Oskar Lorenz,
found in the Sahara on rocks rude en-
cravings of the elephant and rhinoceros,
showing that these animals must at one
time have existed along with men
where all is now desert. At Timbuctoo
he remarked that it is not etiquette to
eat fish although the river abounds
with them. At the same city the two
rival indigenous systems of African
currency come into collision-salt and
cowries. The history of the cowrie
trade is very curious. To remedy the
scarcity of the native circulating me-
dunn enormous importations have been
made from the Maldive Islands and
Zanzibar. The exchange averages 1000
cowries to a dollar. The traveller
bought an ass for $4,000 cowries, and
as they each had to be counted, he
needed al the patience of his beast
