An italian Murder.

| Considerable excitement has been
caused in Rome by most cold-blooded
and carefully planned murder. In 1870
man named Monti and his wife,
neither of whom could read or write,
hired in the Piazza Colonna one of the
kiosques which had just been erected
for the sale of newspapers. BY dill
gence and saving, they succeeded in
| putting by no less than $1,000 francs.
In tie month of May last Mont was in
duced by u man named Emilio Fallaci,
who was passing by the name of Adolfo
Landucci, to join him in carrying on a
manufactory of wax matches. which he
said he was about to establish at Leg
horn, and to accompany him there.
From Leghorn letters purporting to be
dictated by Mont were received from
time to time by his wife, informing her
of matters connected with the manu-
factory and requiring remittances,
which were Immediately sent. Becom-
ing anxious, however, at his protracted
absence, she wrote expressing her fears,
and in reply received a letter telling her
to make q trip TO Leghorn, as he could
not leave the works to come to Rome,
and to bring her savings-bank deposit
books with her. She started with the
intention of returning in three or four
days, and in the meantime left the
kiosque in the charge of her eldest boy.
A fortnight having pSssed, her children
received letter purporting to be from
her, telling them that she was unavoid-
ably detained but that "their good
Adolfo," the partner, was going to
Rome TO get some things required out of
the strong-box. Adolfo arrived, was
permitted to break open the box and
take all he thought fit from it, and then
departed. Finally, however. suspicion
WAS aroused and the Leghorn police
were communicated with. The pre-
tended manufactory in the Via del
Coral o was found to be deserted; and
on the door being broken open the
bodies of Monti and his w fe were DIS
covered in room, on the door of which
was a notice prohibiting any one from
entering there. because it contained in
hammable substances. The body of
the wife. who had evidently been
murdered immed ately upon her enter
ing the house, was lying on the floor.
That of Monii. in an advanced stage of
decomposition, was found buried foot
or two under it. The murderer appears
not only to have gone, after the murder
of the wife, to the police Office at
Florence. and, presenting himself there
as Luigi Mont, to have reques ed the
authorities TO obtain for him from
Rome that attestation of his being the
lawful owner of the savings bank books,

The Church Punkah.

A popularity of the churches in India
is the punkah. which is framework Of
wood covered with cloth and with O
deep white frill. Rows of these hang
from end TO end of the church, sus-
pended from the ceiling, and are swung
by ropes, which pass through holes in
the wall. and are pulled by natives. lin
private houses there are relays of pun
kah coolies, who relieve guard night and
day). Why some simple machine has
never been devised to do this tedious
work is matter for wonder, but some
one suggests that no machine would do il
for sixpence day, which is the wage of
these men--certainly none would be so
noiseless. And the gentle Hindu has
no objection to work that merely in
wolves sitting still and pulling a rope.
The effect of these rows of great white.
frilled fans. chasing one another irregu-
larly up and down the church, is posi-
lively bewildering. Sometimes they
seem TO oyertake those in front of them.
then they are just left behind,
After while, as you watch them, the
effect becomes soporifio, To the parson
it must be exceedingly irksome to
preach To an invisible congregation,

hidden in white moving clouds Of cot

THE SISTERS.

This is the story they told to me,
rs the tide came in past shoal and bar:
Look to the east, where double star
Flashes over the somber sea
That is a waste of stone and sand
That is rock where The Sisters stand.
And over the sea their message flies
In letters of light, and thus ii runs:
"This is a bar that the sailor shuus;
Keep TO the right where safety lies.
Death turks here in the shoals and sand.
This is the rock where The Sisters stand"
Oyer the water the wind swept down
lbne stormy night from the flying clouds,
And wrapped the pillows in msty shrouds,
While all the sky was one dark frown,
And no lights CLEANED by sea or land,
Save two bright stars where The Sisters stand.
Shattered and drenched by The warning gales,
A ship came drifting across the sea,
With scarlet ensign floating free
Over her torn and tattered sails,
And sank a wreck upon the sand
Beside the reef where The Sisters stand.
And when the morning, all cold and gray,
Came creeping over that lonely strand,
3 Mid the shells and seaweed, hand in hand,
TryaeAir-haired ma dens silent lay.
