ATROCIOUS


NnuFuer OF an Entlr8 FRmlly. ana the
House Burned With the Bodies In It.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 2G.-It Is learned
here to-day that the family Of eight per-
sons, supposed to have been accidentally
burned to death in Knox County, month
since, were murdered; their throat having
been first cut from ear to ear The family,
whose name was Poe, had two neighbors
whose reputation was not of the best,
and on this account they forbade them
entering their house. These neighbors, q
man and woman, though not man and wife,
had an illegitimate child, a boy, about ten
years old. They lived gome thirty yards
from Poe's house, and becoming .enraged
because of being refused social recognition,
planned the damnabe plot Of numbering
the entire family. The bo :, suffering un,
der severe echostisement from his reputed
father, now tells the whole story. Ht
says his mother was talking about
the matter for several days, and that ie
was absent from home, and that when his
father and mother left home for Poes
house til y forbade his goins with them,
but that he slipped along without their
knowledge. and saw them enter the house.
Tho family, all Of whom were females,
were all asleep in one room, and his father
with razor cut the throats of each from
ear to ear, while his mother pick
ed the bodies up, placed them in the
middle of the floor, piled the contents of
two beds on them, and then set fire to
them and the house, and that the poor.
helpless little baby screamed until the
flames smothered it. The man and woman
have not as yet been arrested, but a
sewing machine, beds, aud several
other articles, recognized as belonging
to the murdered family, were found
beneath the house of the accused parties.
There is no doubt of their guilt and excits-
ment has reached an intensity bordering
on frenzy, SO that it is more than probable
the State will be saved the expense of a
trial. Further particulars tonight shed
additional light on the Knox County hor-
ror, and make it one of the darkest and
most damnable crimes ever commit d in
the State, not excepting the Ashland affair
some wears since,

lreland's Surplus Revenue.

Up to the latter part of the last cen
turv Ireland had no "national debt" OF
any consequence. Arthur Young re-
cords that about 1859 the country, in
stead of being burthened with a ma
tional debt, had at the end of every ses'
sion of Parliament surplus revenue OF
from fifty to sixty thousand pounds in
her exchequer. Although in the dis
posal of this money there was much pri-
yate jobbery, yet it was frequently EN-.
ployed in the construction of some ex-
cellent works of public utility, "such as
harbors, piers, churches, schools,
bridges, ETC., built and executed by
some gentlemen, if not by economy, at
least without any dishonorable misap-
plication." Young's concluding re-
marks suggest a strong contrast be-
tween the control of Irish revenue by
an Irish Parliament and the absorption
of Irish revenue by an English Parlia
ment GAS the WHOLE" he says, "was
spent within the kingdom it certainly
was far from being any great national
evil.''-1rish World.

CITY OF BEGGARS.
The Shameless Methods Employed By
NeApolitan Mendicants.

The Shameless Methods Employed By
NeApolitan Mondicants.
Charles Dickens, hastily compiling
italian Notes. has given the palm
for beggars to the townof Pisa Had
he written more leisurely, he would
have done more Justice indeed, mere
justice-to Naples. The Pisan beg
gars are tribe in themselves, curious
" importunate and impertinent, but
the Neapolitans are nearly all beggars.
No city in the kingdom is more popu-
lous or more poor. The mixture of the
Moorish blood with the Italian has
produced race, among Europeans, at
all events, unexampled for beauty,
cruelty, easy morality and intolerabls
laziness. AS you wander along the
streets you hear snatches of Moorish
music mixed with the true Neapolitan
refrains, and you see faces, especially
among the children of eight or nine
years, of quite incredible beauty. They
are the familiar characteristics of the
beautifully set brow, the facile smile
and the eyes-sometimes brown. some
times blue, always expressive-and
every thing set off by a rich varnish of
dirt. One is reminded of the old
fashioned nursery hymn:
Ny little body's full of sin.
And all over is placed skin.
But, with all this, there is cowardly
,kulking and a brutality that is not
italian but oriental. No sight is more
common along that hill road lea.ling
from the famons Santa Lucia to the
height of Pos lopi than to see miserable
little horses, bleeding and lame, totter-
ing under the shafts of cart weighed
down with eight or ten corpulent Nea-
politans, who fog it and kick it till it
swerves and falls. At the corner of
one well-known street there is a bird
shop where you may buy nightingales,
goldinches and robins. Sometimes q
crowd of gamins is collected to witness
a little surgical operation. Some
charcoal burns in q brasiero, and
the operator thrusts into it q needle
with wooden handle. He then takes
from a cage recently-caugh black
bird, and with the red-hot needle puts
out his eye. It needs much skiu-skill
that only comes from practice-to do
this successfully. An unsteady hand

most instances. where the operation is
successful, the birds do die, but that is
culy after a couple of days of agony.
You will see the patients in cages
hanging round the shop, with the light
less eyes swollen to the size of pea,
but in the rare case of recovery the
bird sings briskly through the twenty
four hours, day and night being the
same to it. If stranger approaches
the children leave the bird torturer to
beg for soldi. The fat, round, cherub
faces are thrust up into your own, the
little hands point to the mouth, and
you hear the familiar cry that is trans
lated: II am dying of hunger; give me
a half-penny.' The truth is, the chill
dren live on the strangers.-M O.

Ancient Church at Ooney Island.

Several ancient religious foundations
of the fifth century connected with the
names of SIS. Lenan, Bridget, Fineen,
and Moronoc, existed formerly on the
Islands at the confluence of the Shan
non and Fergus rivers. Few vestiges OF
a very remote antiquity are found
among them with the exception OF a
small church on Coney Island, ten miles
south of Ennis, The most interesting
portion of this remaining is a small cy-
clopean doorway, which, however, is
not perfect.
