The Indescribable Gaudiness of the Ma
donnas Destined for shops.
There are whole streets devoted to
shops where images of the saints and
martyrs. Bambinos and Madonnas, are
made and sold. The quantity of these
objects is so great that | should
think every worshiper in Naples must
possess at least a dozen. The tastes
and purses of all classes are consulted.
There are Madonnas of huge proper
tions, and little ones which may be
purchased for few soldi The colors
are nearly all glowing. the contrasts
are violent, md often shocking to one
whose eyes have been artistically edu-
Gated. The southern Italian does not
understand the use of color. although
the heavens and the earth both supply
him with the most ample lessons IN ex-
ouisite harmony and grouping. /

commingled as to form a most ludl-

window certainly contained a
thousand of these figures. and the

the open air, were busy with prepare
ton of others. Buyers at wholesale
and retail came and went Many
thousands of these images are sent
over sea to the constantly-growlng
Italian colonies in the Argentine Re
public, and in other sections OF the
two Americas. The gaudiness OF the
Madonnas destined for shops and
dwellings is quite indescribable; bar
barrie is not the word to express 1t, for
barbaric idols are often less gaudy.
But there is rarely any thing grotesque
in the religious figures; the artist is
reverent, by instinct, in the treatment
of his subject 1t is trife shocking,
however, to hear the wOrkmen en-
gagged on these pious figures interlard-
ing their conversation with the oaths

By this time she was weeping, and he
continued urging her, assuring her that she
did no violence to her principles; and after
stubborn resistance she yielded to pru-
dence, and with her own hands ran down
the flag and carried it in the house.
Luke detailed Arkansaw Tom, Ned Cot
ton, Bill Snow and Corporal Ajax, who had
at their own request been transferred to
his company, to guard the house. He knew
they could be depended upon in such an
emergency, as he had seen them thoroughly
tried the day before.
The pretty rebel, touched by the almost
brotherly conduct of her enemy, asked his

never forget him.

wrapt in flame and smoke. Whistling
shots, dying groans, the crles of the
wounded and the shouts of the combatants,
mingled with the incessaat rattle OF small
arms, awed all peaceful sounds of nature to
silence.
The Union forces seemed reused to a
pitch OF enthusiasm bordering unto frenzy
Their only hope was to break through the
enemy's ranks and press on 10 Cairo. The
rebels, astounded and dismayed at the vlgor-
Gus assault from a force whose numbers
they had all along underestimated, gave
way and began retreat, which threatened
to be panic.
A small body of Confederate cavalry was
seen to turn off to the left and enter a
grove Of trees about one mile from the con-
fiict. Captain Mason at once suggested to
Colonel Smart the plan of cutting them OF.
and the Colonel falling into the idea de-
tailed him at the head of fifty mounted
men to do the work. Though Luke was an
infantryman it was an easy matter to
transfer him to the cavalry, an extra horse
was all that was required.
Away they went at a gallop down a lane,
circling about a wheatield, coming up to
the grove where the Confederates had Leen

Luke drew rein and gazed upon the de-

double-barreled shot-guns cooked, and
Luke began to fear that he would be power
