IinlInn AssnssIns.

The coils are tightening around the Ma
tranga party OF Sicilians who assassnated the
late Chief of Police OF New Orleans Hennes-
sey, and something will happen shortly. Ho
was murdered while going TO his home by a
party of three Italians, but pulled his revolver
and returned the fire. His assaiants however
had double. barroled shotgun loaded with
buckshOt which did its work only too we'll ns
the Chief died soon after he was hit. COM
mittee OF 80 citizens have been formed in New
Orleans to prosecute the Malta Society, and
should they como across the murderers there
will be- little expense to the Commonwealth for
thor trial, as everybody knows that judge
Lynch generally presidos at such meetings in
the South aud West.
Matranga is the leader or commander of a
body of Italians in New Orleans, who have
recently had row with another body of their
own countrymen called ProvGnseanos" When
called upon to testify as to who had killed tho
late Chief of Police, some of these Italians
unhestatingly said that IL was the Madas, So
cety which WINS headed by Matranga.
The Ma1as are known as a secret murder
society, according to the testimony which was
taken before Judge Baker, and are sworn to
kill any man who is obnoxious to the society
The late Chief of Police was spotted because
he had been obtaining testimony against mem
bers of the society. The Mayor Of New Orleans
has also received an anonymous communica-
ton, which tells him that he will be the next
victim. Tho chances are that every Italian in
Louisiana will be driven out of the State for

Fashion Notes.
tGodey's Lady's Book. ]

Long gold chains are coming in fashion again
White cambria pocket haudkerchiefs edged
with deep real black lace are a novelty.
Rich striped corded ribbons finished ut one
edge with small silk tags, is popular trimming
for the new goods.
Most of the wraps are finished with Medicis
collar of velvet Ostrich feather trimming
also edges great many of the dressy half
fitting capes which are so much worn.
A new mode of trimming Undertaking is to
have very narrow ruilles of fine nainsOok
muslin, and trim these with very deep lace.
Tan gray, and white corduroy Jackets which
were so popular during the Summer, continue
to be worn, aud are pretty for young girls
Fancy belts are very popular. Some are of
leather, with leather-covered buckles others
have two rows of leather united with strands
Of thick gold cord.
Foundation skirts are cut scant and quite
plain in front. in order that the double one
may iit properly. This, as a rule, consists of
one or two straight breadths drawn back over
the hips. or slightly draped by means of few
plaits, and falling down in easy folds at the
back.
Carmelite cloth, q sort of coarse grained
serge, is serviceabe and neat for general wear.
A good model for walking costume is made
of navy-blue, trimmed with wide novelty
braid woven in dark garnet and blue. The
jacket bodice rolled back from o plain chamois
vest.
A prutty idea in iewelry is the imitation
grapes, both green and purple. These grapes
are prettly mounted as sleeve links, with g
thick gold chain uniting the two grapes. A
single one is set rs n scarf pin, with few dia.
m0nds, and a group of three or four, with dia
mond tendrils, make IA pretty brooch.

Rulings and Decisions by the Assistant Secretary OF
tho Interior and the Commissioner Of Pensions.
In June, 1855 Ira Hollingsworth, of Co. E,
145th Ind was on his way To n creek to battle,
when he saw two soldiers In quarrel, one hav-
ing the other down and pounding him with a
rock. Holingsworth interfered and having
separated them, proceeded on his way to the
creek. He had gone but short distance when
the soldier who was tho aggressor threw a rock
at him, striking him behind the left ear. He
was nsensible from tho blow from Saturday
until the following Wednesday, and has never
fully recovered from the injury He has ever
since been a constant sufferer from dizziness
and deafness Of tho left ear. Assistant Secre-
tary Bussey holds that the injury was received
while in tho line of duty, and reverses the
previous action OF the Pension Office.

"Giia monster" (ieloderma suspectum), of
California, New Mexico and Arizona, our nox-
ious reptiles destroy life by the effects of their
bite upon the organs of respiration. In other
words, their poison contains venom-globulin
in excess.
When this substance, as t exists in the rat
tlesnake enters the body and is distributed
by means of the circulation, its first effect Is
seen in a temporary enfcebement of the hearts
action. But as the cardiac tone is restored,
respiratory movements become weaker, and
thenceforth gradually diminish in vigor. Pro-
gressive paralysis of the organs of locomotion
supervenes, together with rigidity Of the chest

The birch is capable of supporting a
much greater degree of cold than any
other tree In the Old World its north
ern limit is II degs upon the west and
68 degs. upon the east coast; in America
its northern limit is Ga degs. upon the
west and 5S degs. upon the east. In
Germany the highest elevation at which
it is found is 5000 feet above the level
of the sea; in Sweden at $500 feet, and
in Lapand at 1,792 feet. 1t is worthy
of remark that this tree decreases in
size not only as it advances toward the
north, but also as it proceeds southward
beyond the limits of It's native region
1t attains its highest perfection and
greatest height in Germany and south
ern Sweden. The birch is not particular
in its choice of soil OF situation. and will
grow almost equally well in sandy,
rocky, dry or damp soil. London Gar
den is authority for the foregoing state
ments.

According to the account quoted by
DIR. Farrow in his valuable work ON the
"Mortuary Customs of the North Ameri-
can Indians, the Tolotins, of Oregon,
compelled widows to pass through an or.
dead to which the suffice would almost be
preferable. The body of the deceased
husband was kept for nine days laid out
in his lodge. During these nine days the
widow is obliged to lie beside it from
sunset TO sunrise no matter what the
season or the temperature. On the tenth
day the body is burned, together with
whatever Of property once appertained to
it in the way Of clothing, arms, etc The
widow must also lie beside the corpse on
the funeral pile On no account may
she move until the doctor SO orders.
This merciful command is snever given,
however, until the living body of the
poor woman is completely covered with
blisters. If at any time during the life
of her husband she has been known to
commit any act of infdelity, or to neglect

she is now severely punished. The rela-
tiyes of the dead warrior win again and
again fling her back upon the burning
pile, from which her own friends must
as many times drag her forth, more dead
than alive When all is over the widow
must collect the larger bones, roll them
up in an envelope Of birch bark and
carry them constantly on her back fol

village, and her least refusal to obey an
order is cruelty punished The ashes o
her late husband are collected and buried

upon this grave she is obliged to roo
