The Death Penalty in Corsica.

One might have imagined that in
Corsica, the land of the Vendetta,
where brigands seem to be almost as
plentiful as blossoms in the month Of
May. the guillotine would not be sui.
fered to rust for want Of use. At Bas-
tia, however, juries have been proYerbi-
ally merciful, perhaps on the spare
the sod and spoil the child'' principle.
Be this as it may, the conde to
death of a ruffian of "a years Of age,
named Rocchini, who not only muir
dered man and girl of fifteen, but
endeavored on various occasions to
make a veritable holocaust of the
island gendarmerie, is regarded as an
extra ordinary phenomenon in the
criminal annals of the town. It APP
pears that for upward of 40 years no
Bastia jury had returned a verdict JUS
tifying the death penalty. Incident
ally it may be added that Rocchini's
father, on the da Of the trial, was ar
rested as he was taking a constitutional
in the Hobbies Of the court, a revolver,
with its six chambers loaded, being as
matte of course found on his person.
tits possibly owing to the arrest of his
parent that the jury "made so bold'' as
to pronounce the culprit guilty of all
the charges laid at his door. The ven
delta, after all, someti mes fOrestalls the
guillctine, and Rocchini, the elder,
might have prevailed on some of the
jury to stop long ere his son laid his
head on the block.

s'God be With John Dillon!''

It is significant that upon the day
when John Dillon began his six months
barbaric prison torments the Daily Ex-
press should report and fully believe
that his jailer, Mr.. Balfour. is about to
fly the country in despair. MIR. Balfour
denies feverishly that he is SO chicken
hearted as the Express believes him to
be. He will fly not yet Sohe hastens
to assure his trembling partisans. But
the fact that his resignation in sheer
panic and failure should obtain the full
est credence at the headquarters Of Irish
Tory1sm shows to what an abiect pass
all his bonstful plans for the subjuga-
ton of Ireland have brought him and
his party. 1t is not John Dillon, the
fragile, sensitive gentleman, grit with
bayonets and condemned to herd with
the viiest of mankind, who shows signs
Of hanging out the white flag. It IS Mr..
Balfour, the commander Of many le-
gions, the insolent master Of houts and
sneers, whose heart fails him and who
quails before the calm, majestic image
of his prisoner. Mr.. Dillon enters the
frowning prison-h house with the serenest
smile. Mr.. Balfour has to fly about to
all the newspaper offices to assure them
that he5is not on the point Of throwing
u = d Il u.
up the sponge in ignominious funk and
failure. tits this tranquil confidence
that Coercion is doomed creed which
alone reconc1les the Irish race to the
heartrending sight of one Of the noblest
Irishmen of the century condemned to
unspeakable prison degradation at the
hands Of the vilest of mankind. Before
the allotted six months OF torture could
run their course, Mr.. Dillon's prison
would almost inevitably have become
his coffin, but there is a joyous conf
dence that, long before Judge KisceY's
savage sentence Will have been satisfied,

stituencies and in the House Of Com

prisoner to liberty and triumph. This

peal to all lovers of fair play against
your Judgment. Il am sorry that you
have not given Signor Crispi's coercion
laws to your readers, but permit me to
make from them a few quotations.

contrasting them with the advantages
afforded in our day. He dwelt at some

dangers of Goddess education; and
closed by exhorting the pupils to put
into practice the good lessons. they had
received, and to be to societya living
evidence Of the efficiency Of the Chris

Rev. Father Lawlor followed, and af-
ter congratulating the Sisters and pu-
pills upon the admirable manner in

addressed himself to the graduates. He
urged them to make that day their COM

Letters from the People.
Cameron, Idaho, June 20, '88.
Editor SITTER:

Cameron, Idaho, June 20, '88.
Editor Sitter:
Your correspondent from Peru
seems inclined to make merry over
the few brief notes from Idaho that
appeared in your paper not long
since we take no exceptions to his
hilarity while every burst of laughter
draws me out. He seems, however,
to stand in need of little Missionary
labor in the way of information as
regards the climtae of Idaho and as
| am in the mood will briefly impart
it. In general the climate of North
Idaho is perhaps the finest OF any
country included in the Temperate
Zone. The summers are unsurpassed,
the heat never great, while the eve
nings are delightfully."- cool. The
winters are not severe and are usually
very short as compared with the
East. Some seasons the plough runs
ten months in the year. In February
twice in the five years the farmers
were busy preparing the ground for
the spring sowing, and while my OBJ
ject of Missionary endeavor was
crouching over blazing fire or wrap
ped in artic furs, our fields were
green and smiling, myriads of flowers
adorn the prairie, our doors were open
during the day to admit the soft and
balmv air. AS we wish our friend a
continuance of his pleasant feelings
we cordially invite him to visit us,
we will give him pleasant reception.
In March we will regale him with
dandelion greens and pie plant of a
richness and delicacy of flavor which
would be a revelation to him in those
articles. In April we would feed
him on green currants to his hearts
content. In May, currants red and
ripe the size of small cherries also
strawberries of the largest, and flavor
the first. On the table would be
green peas and new potatoes of large
size; then invite him into the garden,
but the time would fail me to ever
glance at the profusion of vegetable!
and fruits in their early prime onions
fit for the table, also radishes, lettuce
cabbage well on, tomatoes, turnips
but why particularize, we are onl,.
behind you in the quantity of snow
with us it was the merry month o
May during your billiards of las
; winter. We speak what we do know
and testify to what we have seen
truly thankful that our lives hav
fallen in pleasant places and that W
have goodly heritage.

HO, FOR sTRATTON.

We suggest that the Republicans
hold mass meeting between this and
September in Stratton on the spot
where the meeting was held and adj
dressed by Danl. Webster in 1910.
Let it DE rouser with distinguished
speakers-Edmunds, if possible-and
while there let a monument be erected
of the rough stones in the immediate
vicinity to commemorate the two oc-
casions. Why not set it in motion al
once? Why not the large Harrison
and Morton club in Wardsboro take
itin hand? Without doubt our county
committee will aid them and the his
torical associations will help to make
it the greatest success of 1888 as thu
meeting there was in 1910. Ho, TO
Stratton!
We are coming uncle Benjamin,

To Correspondents.

The SITTER gladly gives room to
short, crisp letters from the people
upon all legitimate newspaper sub
iects, but it must insist that they be
short. And in all cases must the
writer's name accompany the commu-
nication, not for publication unless
he desires it, but as an evidence OF
good faith. This rule is strictly fol-
lowed whether the matter is of local
news, a piece of poetry or more ex-
tended communication. Please stick
a pin here-and remember to make it
short. If you can't say something in
a dozen lines conclude that your call
ing is in some other direction.
