Tragedy in ItnIy.

tragedy of an extraordinary nature
recently occurred in the province OF
Naples. The Seventh regiment of Ber-
saglieri was on the march from Bene-
vento to Arienzo, and had arrived at
Tufara, where halt was made. There
a soldier named Borelli left his comrades,
and, concealing himself behind some
trees, opened fire upon the troops. A
corporal, soldier and two peasants who
were standing near fell to the ground
wounded, and then Major Varino ran to-
ward Borelli to disarm him.
As the officer rushed forward BoregH
fired again, and the major fell dead on
tho spot. Capt. Prestinari, who adj
vanced with Major Varino to assist him
In seiZlng the assassin, was also
wounded. but he was able to draw his
revolver, and firing at Borelli, killed
him.

IRISH SUPERSTITIoEs.
The Banshee, and the cOnch-a-Bower,
or Death Coach,

or Death Coach.
The single superstition of which every
one has heard, and which is almost uni-
yersal in Ireland, is of the banshee.
Bean-sidhe is the Irish name for this
wonderful creature, and it literally
means 1.-The woman Of the fairy man.
eions." Her Office is to announce u COM
Ing death. For several nights she ap-
pears, sometimes as radiant maiden,
sometimes as a derepit old woman, with
long, flowing hair, and walls her plaia-
tive lamentations for the approaching
death. If the demise is to ocasr by nat
ural ailment the "keening of the banshee
is simply measured and pathetic; bat
II accident or unt0ward calamity are to
be associated with ", then her lamenta-
tions are loud and clamorous. But she
is easily disturbed and vexed, and if ever
frightened away, will never return dur
ing the same generation. This would
oe calamltyj for while the Irish
banshee, says ESkgAt l.. Wakeman, In the
Chicago "Inter- Qoeaa," favors no par
ticular class, ca$Es, dr religion, she only
comes to famhfsss of long and respecta-
BILE line She odSnAs as a friendly spirit
TO these, not as aa tnimical one, and to
be known as q family deserving and
possessing her pathetic guardianship, is
regarded as an honor of very tender
and sacred character.
Many truly believe the banshee to be
the spirit OF some former member of the
family. In Mnstcy there is powerful
queen OF the banshee. Her name Is
Cliodhna or Cleena, and her powerful
spells are well known to the peasantry
Of the south.
The Coach-a- Bower, or "denth coach,
seems TO stand in something the same
relation to the peasantry as the banshee.
This Is black hesrse with white plumes
Of human hair, and it is always drawn by
the skeletons OF departed friends. 1t
passes the house by night; in some in
stances thrice encirclcs it, and the creak-
ing Of the wheels may be plainly heard,
This Is certain token Of impending
death, and where q family has not the
hardihood among It's heignbUls 70 claim
superior possession OF u bdnshee, the
death coach" will pretty generally be
found as it's substitute.
The weird supersttions eoncerningthe
dead are very many. Every twelfth
night the dead walk. They sit. too, upon
every tile Of the house, waiting to be
freed from purgatory by prayer.
The most potent charm known to
those given over, body and soul, to SUI
perstition, Is the hand of an unbaptized
babe, taken from the grave in tho name
OF the evil one. The hand OF O murderer
SO taken is also very powerful. The
magic or charm of these are in the un-
cannie5t directions. A lighted candle or
splinter" can never be extinguished in
such hand; and wherever it is placed
at night all near it must sleep the sleep
of the dead until it is taken away. Gar
m"nts and other articles which have
come in contact with the dead are very
etlicacious in disease. Candle-ends used
at wakes are highly priced foF scalds and
burns.

1t is now more than thirty Yoars since
DR.. Landarabilcoa called attention In
the medical journals to the great value
of green or unroasted coffee in hepatic
and nephritic diseases.
After having continued to use the
remedy for upward of third OF CEN
tury in many hundreds of cases, he again
appeals to the profession, through the
"Moniteur de Therapeutiqus, to give 1t
trial In those cases of lives and kidney
troubles which have resisted all other
treatment
His habit is to place 25 grammes, or
about drachms, of the green berries (he
prefers mixture OF parts Mocha with
l part each of Martinique and Isle de
Bourbon coffee) In tumDler of cold
water, and let them infuse over night.
The infusion. after straining or filter
ing, is to be taken on an empty stomach

Queer IlentuclSy Cemeteries.

A correspondent of the Washington
"Capital" says:
"The queerest thing I've seen any
where is a Letcher county graveyard.
As we drove along the road one day it
carried US around to the top of hill and
there We ran up against what | at first
thought was an acre lot full of chicken
coOps. There were twenty-five or thirty
of them of various sizes scattered about,
each with a pointed roof and either
straight or lattice worked at the side and
ends. Each one was from four to six feet
long and three wide and all uupainted
81 climbed the fence to make an in
spection and the first coop settled the
case it was cemetery and not hem
merry Some were quite new and some
were in a bad state of repair, evidently
over the graves of the husbands and
wives of various Letcher county widows
and wtdOwcrs, ''out on second, "as it were.
Some of the graves had tombstones
of plain sandstone, without inscriptions,
and some were only unadorned mounds
beneath these odd-looking little coops.
Further along | frequently saw near
farm houses one or more OF these pecu-
liar grave coverings and thoy were al
ways painted white, with occasionally u
bit of blue at the corners, and often with
the namc OF the deceased painted on the
strip, Just behind the caves.
II was told these coops were buft to
protect the grass, but why an ordinary
fence would not answer every purpose
