ITALIAN CHARMS,
A Grotesque Mineling of Pagan and Medi-
sevaI Superstit1ons.

"A "Totcs4uc Oh anu AheuI-
seva1 Superstitfons.
During our stay in Perugia we made
acquaintance with a very learned pro-
fessor of the university, who most kind
ly showed us, not only very interest
ing and valuable collection of imple-
ments and other articles beginning at
the Stone Age, but also collection OF
amulets and charms. Some of these.
especially those for protection from
lightning, are bits of prehistoric stones
and contain grotesque mingllng OF
pagan and medieval superstition. \
little case embroidered with the Agnus
Del contained a triangular stone arrow
head, and this used to be hung at the
bed-head of the owner between pictures
of saints. On the occasion of Il storm
candles were lighted and prayers were
offered before the amulet. This collec-
ton of charms amounts to upward of a
hundred and seventy, and is so full Of
interest that it would require many
pages to do it justice. A very curious
amulet was the fragment of a human
skull inclosed in Il little brass
reliquary and considered to be
a sovereign protection against
epilepsy ana klnureu ulSOfuerS.
Tradition said that this bit of bone had
belonged to the skull of a person, dead
some two hundred years before, who
had worked so many wonderful cures
by his skill in medicine, and had lived
such long and sanity life that he had
been loved and renerated by all. The
professor told us that it was not at all
uncommon when body was dug up in
the course of excavations to find bit
of the skull missing, and this amulet
doubtless explained the use that had
been made of such lost fragments
Another charm was little cross of
hollywood carved by Capuchin friars,
which had been found hanging at an
old woman's bed head to protect her
from the spells of witches. She would
only part from it on condition that she
might reserve some splinters OF the
wood, SO as to prevent the witches
from visiting her and tormenting her
for having parted from her safeguard.
There were corals, too, of various
shapes for women and children, for
safety in teething, for protection against
NAL occtio, to stop bleeding, and above
all, for the cure of melancholy. The
dark stone with red spots, which | have
heard called in England bloodStone, Is
said to be infallible in checking bleed
ing; it must be useful in country
where blood-letting and leeehing are
still common and frequent remedies

BONANZA HISTORY.
The Fate of James ID. Walker and His
High-Priced Book-Keeper.

The Fate of James ID. Walker and His
High-Priced Book-keeper.
James d. Walker ten years ago was
a member of the bonanza firm, and his
check was good for $4,000 or mil
lion, at any bank in the country. Then
Flood and Fair bought him out, and
Walker opened q brokers' office under
the Nevada Bank. in San Francisco, and
did all the business of his former part
ners In these times Flood, Fair and
Mackey were on the top notch of specu-
.ation. They were swinging the mar
ket at their own sweet will, and making
or breaking the thousands who were
battling with the fierce tide of stock
gambling. Alexander Austin, or
s.Sandy," as his friends used to call him,
had Just served his term as tax collector,
and went in with Walker. How they
did make things boom! The book-keep-
er got S40O month, and had a sump-
tuous lunch served every day in a large
room in the rear of the office at the eX-
pense of the firm. Their expenses were
enormous, but so was their business.
The partners were clearing $4,000 a
month, but they were standing on the
brink of Il precipice. Flood remarked
that other and outside brok
ers were manipulating certain
stock precisely as his own brokers. This
would never do: so he called a consulta-
ton, and informed the Walker firm that
this sort of thing would not do; that
there was TRAITOR in the camp some
where. and that unless he was detected
and fired their relations could not con-
tinue. Close and earnest investigation
was made, but without avail. Then
came transactian of more than ordi-
nary Importance, but, to the intense dis
gustsof the bonanza firm. it was appa-
rentiE foreseen and anticipated by these
outside brokers, kept posted apparently
by sOkle traitor in the Walker-Austin
camp. Then the bonanZapeoplec changed
their broker, and from that hour the
fortunes of Walker e Co. began to de-
cline. Matters grew worse and worse.
Austin committed suicide. Walker sold
magnificent mansiCcl in Oakland,
which cost him close to $4,000 to
prop up the waning glory of the swell
