THE CoRSIcAN VENDETTA.
The Custom that has often ExtIn'
guusneu Enrrre Families.
New York TimesI

Should a Corsican, in revenge for in
jury done to himself or his relations, or
even to his dog or his horse, kill another
with knife or coup de fusil, public SYM
pathy sustains him, the hills shelter him,
his relations feed him, and justice, in the
shape of gendarmes, winks with both
eyes unless the murderer be very I'M
popular. True, he is termed bandit
and has to take refuge in the macqui, as
the natural bush is called that clothes
the mountain sides. Well informed Cor
sicans tell one that there are at this mo-
ment in the island over one thousand in
hiding.
But please understand the bandit is no
brigand. Should you, defenseless, hap
pen to fall in with him, he will not take
your purse, but, ON the contrary, offer
you food, if he has it, and shelter in his
cave, and most probably refuse any pay
ment for his hospitality. 1t is only his
foes family against which he wages war,
and of course in self defense with the
gendarmes. These latter he will shoot
with as much unconcern as q woodcock
And yet, though the Corsican will not
robyou, it is not because he does not love
money. For very few francs, both
Corsican gentlemen and English resi-
dents aver, you can find a man who will
do your killing for you and rid you Of
your enemy with knife or bullet. And
while this utter contempt for human
life prevails there can be no hope of the
extinction of the vendetta.
An English gentleman, Capt. G., who
has now lived for some ten or fifteen
years In Corsica, on his own property,
told me the following story: at seems
mat one Of the employees of the former
proprietor, fancying he had some grudge
against the new owner, made himself
Questionable by breaking down fences,
driving goats and sheep into the gardens
and annoying Capt. G. in other ways.
Capt. q. happened to mention the fact
OF the mans enmity, and deplored it as
unreasonable both to a Corsican gentle
man, a neighboring proprietor, and also
to shepherd with whom he was on
friendly terms.
'Let me know if it continues" said
the gentleman, land VIII nave tne
man taken over to yonder rocks and you
won't hear of him again.
II will arrange for little coup de
fusil whenever you like to give me the
Office said the berger.
This was fifteen years ago, but even
now it is said there is in Ajaccio alone at
least one murder week, though these
outrages are SO hushed up by the author
tiles that it is difficult to get any reliable
statistics. never, for instance, saw the
account of any murder in the little local
French paper LIE Raillement, the only
one. I think, in Ajaccio, but this proves
nothing, for there was undoubtedly one
atrocious crime committed in the village
Of Bocognano, about twenty miles off,
while we were at Ajaccio, for particulars
of which vainly studied the columns of

A SISTERS LOVE.

a sisters love! love that knows
No earthly stain, no selfish part,
A love pure as the love that glows
In heaven within an angels heart;
For you in early morning light,
For you in silence OF the night,
Its prayers go up to heaven above
This IS sisters love-
love that II you faint and fall
Beneath the burden OF your cross,
WIN share your griefs and sorrows all,
And help you TO retrieve the loss,
love all patient 10 endure,
love forever strong and sure,
Yet meek and gentle as a dove
This is sister'slove.
love that as the years go by,
And age and days of pain draw near.
Still like star that shines on high
WIN shine upon you pure and clear;
A love no absence can estrange, l
A love no time can chill or change,
Or from its deep foundation shove
This is sisters love.
A love that still will live when this
Brief life has like a vision passed:
When you shall sit enthroned in bliss
In your celestial home at last.
A love that will unchangIng be
Through all glad eternity
Part of that blessed life above
This is a sisters love.
