Literature In Arkansas.

An Arkansas literary society recently
discussed the question:
"Resolped, That circus is superior
to district school as civilizing agent.
The circus packed the convention
from the start Only one orator got up
to speak for the district school. He
was the teacher, and the President
fined him twice and then made him sit
down. The fines were for calling Pom
peyeye Pompayee, and saying there
were more schools in Boston than in
Little Rock, and he was made to sit
down for atheistic sentiments when he
denied that "Root hog or die" was to
be found in the Bible. To crown his
disgrace, the President, in summing
up, referred to his remarks as indicat-
ing to what low state of knowledge
and morals the habit of attending
district school would bring q man. He
then decided the question in favor OF
the circus, collecting the fines from the
unhappy pedagogue, and the society
went out and spent the money for
bread.-Batrdette, in the Brooklyn

Brigandage has hourished in the
mountains of South Italy ever since
the time of the struggles between the
Romans and the Samnites. The rocky
Businesses there have always afforded
safe retreat for the criminal and the
outlaw, and for that class. always nu-
merous ON Ital an soil, who would
rather live by any means than those of
honest labor. Most stringent laws have
been enacted against brigandage from
time to time, but the difficulty has al
ways been to enforce them. Perhaps
these freebooters were never more ag-
gressive and troublesome than during
the twenty years following 1860. after
Italian independence had been secured.
This was partly the result of the war,
which had thrown many out of employ
ment, and had reduced great numbers
of the peasants t. absolute beggary,
and partly to the inability of the new
and untried government to execute the
laws. King Emanuel, however, was
man of much decision of character, and
did much to check the prevalent law
lessness, but even to the present time
travel through the hill districts is very
unsafe. 1t has been asserted by those
who have lived in Southern Italy that
brigandage can never be suppressed
while it il in the interest of the peas
antry to support it. The brigands buy
oil their food from the peasants, and
pay for it fully double the price that
the peasant can secure for his produce
In the town. In word, the large
amounts of money which the robbers
take from wealthy travellers are all dis
tributed among the needy peasantry.
and it would be expecting too much of
human nature to expect this class, ig-
norant as they are, to turn against those
whose existence is constant benefit to
them. Further, the peasants do not
dare to give brigand up to justice,
through fear OF the vengeance of the
band, which is certain to be swift and
deadly. The probability is that the
increase in civilization in these locali-
ties is the only thing that will work q
lasting remedy for this state of law
lessness. Brigandage in Greece has
been the direct result of Turkish OPP
preston. Men tyrannized over beyond
endurance have been driven TO overt
acts of rebellion, and then have been
forced to flee to the mountain caves for
their lives, and here become outlaws
from necessity SO large class have
come to live in these hill retreats, who
in time of war hasten down to the val
leys to take part in the struggle against
the common enemy, and in time of
peace resort to these hiding places,
whence they sally out to plumber friend
and foe alike. The difficulty in dealing
with this class here, as in Italy, comes
from the fact that they are regarded
with so much favor by the peasants in
the valleys and towns, and by them are
shielded from the just vengeance of the
law.-Iilter Ocean.

that could tell anything about them.
The head on the diverse of the piece,

Andoche Junot was Burgundian by
birth, born in 1771, and in his youth,
after O preparatory schooling, he
studied law, but never practiced. When
he was FL years of age he enlisted in
the army as volunteer; it was in the
height Of the Revolution, few months
previous to the execution of the King
Louis XVI. In September, 1898. when
Paris had become comparatively quiet
under the rule of the Constituent
Assembly, Napoleon Bonaparte, then
scarcely known beyond the old Con-
vention and his own section of the army,
was sent to wrest Toulon from the
English and Spanish; and among the
men under his command was young
Junot. During the siege that followed
Napoleon had occasion one day to send
q dispatch to q distant point. He was
in the saddle. halted before the com
pany to which Junot belonged, and,
running his eyes along the line, he
asked if there was one of them who
could write. Junot raised his cap and
bowed, upon which he was called out
and conducted to the right of the line,
