Ii we must ape foreign customs and use
foreign words and phrases at the capital, it is
a relief to know that all is not English that

reputation of the state department, that we

may think that this has some reference to the

The American Career of a Brigand Who
Was the Terror of Sicily.

Was the Terror OF sicily.
Tho young son of n famous italian bandit
has met with a very unromantic fate in New
Orleans Giuseppe Esposito, many years ago,
was tho bold and successful leader of n band
of brigands in Italy, whore his many exploits
had gained for him a European reputation
md invested his name with a terror TO all
travellers In the mountains of Sicily.
To the qualities which nave been Inscribed
TO the outlaw in song and story, he added
those OF cruelty and bioodthirstiness, and tho
unlucky captive who fell into his clutches, If
not redeemed by a ransom, paid the penalty
of his misfortune with his life. The heart
less Esposito pursued his career of robbery
and murder against his fellow countrymen
unchecked, but finally aroused the wrath Of
John Bull, an act which has always been haz-
ardous in either an individual or a nation.
He seized an English traveller one day, and
after due notice and proper waiting the stock
of tho bandit camp had not been increased by
as much ms n single plaster on account of tho
last adventure One of the prisoners ears WINS
then sliced of and forwarded TO his friends,
and this In turn was followed by its fellow
useful and ornamental Gppendhge. But by
this time tho British government had been
notified, and such n demand made ON tho
Italian authorities that Esposito's gnng WINS
quickly dispersed, and no wns npprehendcd

Tested his lofty contempt for honest pursuits
by becoming chief of n society of blackmail
ers, an occupation hardly as gcnteel as the
one he Ind followed in his native land, but
less dangerous
1t WINS not adventurous enough, though,
and before long no got to DO captain of a
small coasting vessel, marrying in the mean
timo n pretty young girl of his own race. a
reward was out for him, though, by the
italian government, and In 1880 Detective
Hennossey, now the chief Of police Of New Or
leans, arrested him. He was sent back to
Italy, where he was tried, twice sentenced to
be hung and finally sent TO prison for life.
Tn wife was left in New Orleans, with an
infant son Of Esposito's. Last week she mp
piled to tho mayor TO have the boy, Joseph,
and a younger child placed in an orphan nsy-
lum, MS she could not support them, and it
was done, Should the news penetrate to tho
Sicilian dungeon of Esposito, the reflection
that his child will at least be comfortably
cared for will Tighten n little his dark and re-
vengeful heart -Louisvill Courier-Journnl.

TerrOrized by DesperadOes.
A WEST VIRGINIA TOWN IN THE
POWER OF PENNSYLVANIA
OUTLAWS.

PITTsBURG, April S.-A special
from UniOntown, Pa, says: "ln
addition to the terror inspired
throughout Fayette county by the
McClellandtOwn band of outlaws,
they are creating a greater terror
in the adjoining county of Preston,
in West Virginia. When they
were driven from their refuge near
Markleysburg they went across the
line into West Virginia, and are
now said to be located IN house
near Glade Mills. Reports say
that there are six OF them in the
gang now, and that nightly they
commit some depreciation on the
citizens IN the vicinity. SO great
is the excitement over their pres
ence and the Tobbing and victim
izing Of the gang that the neigh
bOrhnOd is in despair.
Local desperadOes have join ed
forces with the gang, and they
threaten all kinds of vengeance on
any one who interferes with them.
The place where they hold forth is
near a dlstillery, and this adds TO
their recklessness. Appeals from
the people In the neighborhood
have been sent to the nearest town
of any size, Kingwood, asking for
help, the mountain district being
so thinly populated that force
enough cannot there be mustered.
An organized effort is to be
made to capture them under the
command OF West Virginia officers.
The district is so far away from
teIegraphIc communication, and is
only accessible by long journey,
so that particulars only reach this
place in fragmentary way.

CHAMBERLAIN, ID. T., April l.
The people on the passenger tram
from the East on the st. Paul road
Yesterday had an exciting expert
ence near Mt. Vernon. A prairie
FIRE was raging around the track,
and the engineer not knowing its
extent ran into it, expecting to run
through to safety in a few moments.
He found the hre getting worse,
however, and finally stopped, but
could not run back, as the flames
behind had made the track unsafe.
The passengers and tram hands got
ont and fought the fire, but the
danger kept increasing
Finally the engineer was forced
to proceed, as to remain still would
have been fatal. IL was feared
that the rails were warped and the
passengers expected a terrible ac'
cident, but after what seemed a
long period of suspense the tram
emerged from the smoke and
flames safely.
Several of the passengers who
had engaged in fighting the flames
we're pa nfully burned. The women
passengers we're terribly agitated

appears that the boomers in hiding
are desperate. They have selected
and watched their claims for years
and they now fear the new corners

was a meeting OF these boomers
held in the timber near Oklahoma
City last Thursday, and they can
vassed the situation. After the
meeting adjourned the Santa Fe
agent received notice that the
bridges would be burned and the
trains stopped on April ODD, as the

PROTECTION AND THE SOUTH.

In a published interview Cen
PRYOR. the distinguished South.
erner. who has earned for himself
a prominent position at the New
York bar, is reported as saying
that the South is beginning to see
that her interests are bound up
with the success OF the protective
policy. He believes that 1t Is I'D
the power of the President to
break up the Solid South If he Will
conduct his Administration on the
the lines laid down in his inaugural.
General Pryor points out, to quote
his own words, "that the actual IN
dicatious of public sentiment IN
the South are all in the direction
of a protective policy"
THIS, no doubt, is the result OF
the industrial revolution that has
taken place in the Southern States.
Mills and factories of all kinds
have sprung up in the South
Thinking SOutherners recognize
that the immense progress that has
been made in their section OF the
country within the last few years
is only a forecast of the great
things that will be accomplished
by the South in the near future.
She has the soil, the climate and
all that thousand and one other
natural advantages that are guar
antees of brilliant future for her
if she will ;oin with the North in
defending the American policy OF
Protection. Without her vote the
pro. British policy of free trade
has not the ghost of a chance. 1t
is. therefore, a matter for cOngratu-
lafion that the New South is
beginning to recognize that II
would commit a great blunder ii 1t
should become the ally Of the free
traders. In the words Of General
Pryor "a new generation Is coming
TO the front whose bOsoms are
purged of the passions OF the past;
who are taught by necessity the
supreme Importance of material IN
terests, and who will fully CO.
operate with that party, which
ever, 1t be, that promises most for
the advancement and enrichment
of the South"
To this new generation prOtec'
tlonlsts extend a hearty invitation
to cooperate in the work of pro.
tectiug North and South, East aud
West, from the blightng influence
of a policy that would destroy
American industries that British
manufacturers might have a market
Tor their cheap-made goods. 1t
will be blessed day for the Re-
public when this invitation is ac-
cepted in the spirit in which 1t ls
offered. Let us hope that that day
is not far distant.-N. \. HiSh
