fury, ito exaggerate the miserable con &.
dition of the agricultural population OF
Italy, the wretched dwellings, the I'M
wholesome food, the amount Of disease,
and the want Of morality and education.
The diseases induced by unsanitary con-
ditions are fearful" The most fatal dis
case is named the -pellagra." II is akin
to leprosy, and is said to be contagious.
The probable inducing cause is 'the use of
putrid and moldy maize" This is made
into enormous loaves and baked thus to
save firing. The inside grows putrid
during the week which it is intended 10
last. One result of this state of things is
that theft is common. "The grapes for
vintage in Naples must be picked before
they are ripe, greatly to the detriment OF
their value, or there would not be a
bunch left in many provinces" Parents
teach their children how to steal.
"This, then, is the population from
which most of the Italian immigrants are
drawn" The man who furnished most
of the above information, a patriotic
Italian, said: "Do you wonder that the
Italians when they come here are filthy
in their habits. that they herd together
in low dives, that they resort to begging,
and that they fall easy victims to the
educated knayes among their country

eagerly take advantage Of their ignorance

The Phenomena Of "IIIIahle Lakes. ;,

Professor Schwable has drawn the at
tention of the Berlin Physical society to
two interesting phenomena observed in
the gypsum of the southern Hartz, viz,
the sinking of rivers, often accompanied
by loud uproar, and the occurrence Of in
termittent lakes. The so-called peas
ants ditch" near Rosslau, was, in the
last century, as the contracts between
the two neighboring villages prove,
sometimes lake serving one village for
fishing purposes, and sometimes dry
land, which was then titled by the other
village. Several channels at the bottom
of the lake lead TO the interior of the
gypsum rock, yet the water, when it
gathered here, stood for several years at
depth Of from thirty to fifty feet, when
IL suddenly disappeared again. In the
years 1875, 1877 and 1873, this lake was
filed with water, and since the last date
has been dry land.-Arkansaw Traveller.

The Monument sway. with the sun.

At the meeting of the Washington
Monument society, Col. Casey made some
interesting statements to the members in
regard to lis observation Of the habits Of
the monument, for it appears that the
great obelisk is moving, if not living
thing, and that it has regular swaying
motion when the sun is shining upon it.
On every bright day the apex of the
monument moves at least one inch west
ward in the morning when the suns rays
first fall upon it, and eastward again in
the Afternoon when the sun reaches the
western side. The heat Of the suns rays
have an expansive effect upon the
mason, and the plummet that is sus-
pended in the interior of the monument
registers this movement from day TO day

History OF the Mosaic Lion.

The ancient curiosity of the mosaic
lion was presented to the National mu-
scum by Sir Richard Wood, British con-
sui general at Tunis, at the instance of
Hon. G.. 2. Heap. United States consul.
The mosaic lion has quite a history
The law Of Tunis prohibits the removal
or sale of any of the national statuary
without first obtaining the consent of the
government The Arabs, who formerly
derived much profit from the sale of such
articles, did so in secret manner. One
night during Sir Richard Woods resi-
dence there, in 1873, an Arab chief came
10 him and said that for certain ccu-
pensation he would bring him something
of great value. The consul general
agreed 10 the chiefs proposition. and the
latter said he would bring him one of the
finest moSaics in Africa. On the next
night the chief appeared accompanied
by a number of men who bore upon
their shoulders the mosaic lion which
can now been be seen ut the national
museum.
The image is seven feet square, and on
the different sides are represented wild
beasts Of several varieties. This image
was stolen from the temple of Astarte,
erected in Carthage by the Romans. But
a small portion of this temple now re-
mains. The image was taken from the
floor of the temple by the Arabs, who,
in their greedy haste, disfigured it in such
a manner that it was necessary to have
certain portions remade by the artisans
at the museum. The lion is probably the
most ancient mosaic in this country, sup
posed to be 1000 years old, and is valued
at s25,0OO.-Washington Cor. Kansas

A Nevadan In a Row.

A few days ago, in Wizards Hotel,
in Washington City, ex-Congressman
Worthington threw a glass Of beer
into the face of John II. Niernsee, of
the Supervising Architects office,
after asking him, "Do you know any
way by which can insult you?" A
glass of water followed the beer; then
Niernsee struck Worthington with a
cane. The latter then pulled six
shooter. This he snapped several
times at his antagonist, but the car
tridges failed to explode. The men
fought all over the barroom and out
into the hallway. Finally Worthing
ton was quieted, and while two men
held his hands a policeman disarmed
him. Worthington and Niernsee
have been enemies for long time.
Both hail from the same State, and,
although they long lived here, never
had a personal encounter before.
Worthington was member of Con-
gress from Nevada and afterward a
carpet bag collector of customs at
Charleston, S. g. At present he is
private secretary to Congressman
Small, the coored Representative
from South Carolina.
