saw. says Bartholinus the traveller,
first at Hafnia and afterward at Basil,
one Lazarus Colleredo, Genoese of
about % years of age, who was the
most oddly malforAed creature | have
ever had the good fortune to meet.
This Lazarus has little brother grow
ing at his breast. who was in that pos
ture born with him. His left foot alone
hung downward. He had two arms,
but only three fingers upon each hand.
He could move his hands, ears and
lips, and had little beating at the
heart. This little creature is nour-
ished by what the greater eats and
drinks; has distinct vital parts, sleeps,
sweats, and moves. Both of these
strange creatures received names at
baptism, the larger the name of Laz-
arus. the smaller that of Baptista.
Baptista has his eyes shut the major
portion of the time: his breath is very
faint, so that holding a downv feather
at his mouth it scarcely moves. His
mouth is usually open: his head is
larger than that of the brother who is
doomed to carry him on his Eo:om as
long as both live: his face is in an up
right position. Both have boards, that
of the larger brother being we'll kept.
Lazarus is a man of full stature, courte-

however: at is just also to recognize the
fact that simi ar incidents would not oc-

Tho DirittO says: at is the ne plus ul-
ira of cynicism for the people of New
Orleans to attempt to Justify their action
by boasting that the lynchers were head
ed by leading citizens. Even if the Itali-
ans concerned were the dregs of the
Italian colony, the leading citizens had
no right to massacre them.'
Indignation meetings of Italians have
been held in all the principal cities of

have been sent to Washington to confer

The present winter has been very Sc
we're one on the poor of the city" yesterday
said Superintendent Martin. The princt-
pal reason for this was that many were
out of employment. The applications re-
ceiyed in the Office for work exceeded those
of the previous years in point of numbers.
The men are willing 40 work at anything
and at almost any figure but there is no
demand for them. 4 busy season i'm the
matter of public improvements will greatly
benefit the poor la borars whose tales of woe
are Often pltiable to listen to. They are
anxiously looking forward to the letting of
contracts for street work which will afford
them employment. Detroit Free Press.
This in the great state of Michigan
and in one of the grandest cities in this
union. The superint ,ndent of the poor
made the above statement to the Free
Press and they publish without COM
ment. just think of it, men willing to
work at anything, at almost any price
and still no demand for their labor and
guard is placed around them to prevent
them from touching the natural re-
sources that another may claim. What
is the lesson in all this? That our in
duStrial system is rotten from the ground
up. There are men and partisans in
this country who can listen complacently
to the dying groans of a republic and not
raise finger to alleviate suffering or
save country. We cannot, and we

A Very solemn Road.
q Dass hy fisb-pon1s where n man ia

We pass by fish-ponds where a man is
sorting fish ont of hand-net; farm
houses, the women coming to their doors
to gaze at the white barbarians;
through rice fields where the path is SO
narrow that the chair hangs above q
depth of watery ooze, writes traveller
of the road to Canton, China.
Here and there among the newly
turned fields is a patch of vivid green
rice plants awaiting transplantlng;
crop of trefoil; or lotus with their ex-
quisite leaves, each plant growing alone
in wet mud. The Ce!estiaIs are lotus
eaters, but the food has lost its virtue
since the DAYS of Ulysses, for the
heather Chinee' takes opium when he
wants to dream.
The road winds on through sparse
bamboo plantations, past hedges in fresh
spring green, starred with jessamine
and tiny white wild roses; and all along
the way on every scrap of rising ground
are-graves! those of poor people for
the most part, whose relations cannot
afford granite slab, and only sod of
turf shows some one lies below, some
one who has worked out his life's story
among the toiling millions, who has
joined the great majority, and SO be-
come an object of reverence to his
countrymen.
For their dead the Chinese choose the
best and fairest places; they visit the
graves each year; and now, just after
the "tomb-sweeping" festival, from
every sod and form every headstone
fiutters a paper charm.

Government Loan, on Land.

One of the demands adopted at Ocala
provides for government loans direct to
the people on real estate at per cent
interest per annum, with proper limita-
tiOns upon the quantity of land and
amount of money. There are now two
bills before congress relating to such
loans, one introduced bv Representative
FeatherstOn. the other by Senator Stan
ford. While the bill of Mr.. Featherston
is not perfect, it is not open to the many
serious objections that are found in the
measure proposed by Mr.. Stanford. The
objections are of such character as to
preclude the idea of ever being adopted
or advocated by the alliance. 1t neither
meets the expressed or implied demands
of the alliance, but runs counter to both.
Among the minor objections are the high
salaries, cumbersome and expensive
methods, and the length of time given
the loans. 1t provides for foreclosure
fee of not over $780, when it should be
limited to not over S25. The most
serious objections to the bill. however,
are found in section :, which is as fol-
lows:
That every person who Is a citizen OF the
United States, or who has declared his in
tention to become such. and who is the
oWHeT, lH ltt. Oi
land, may file with the bureau an applica-
tion for loan to be secured by a lien upon
such lands. valued for agricultural pur-
poses. Such application must be in the
form Prescribed by the chief OF bureau, and
must describe the land, and state it's actual
cash value for agriculture, independent of
improvements, and also its assessed value
for taxation purposes, for the year previous
to application: the amount for which the
loan is sought, which must not exceed one
half the assessed value of the land and the
time for which the loan is run not exceed
ing twenty years. 7gether with such other
facts as the chief of bureau may by regula-
tion prescribe. No loans shall be made
upon land of less than $500 in value nor in
sums less than $3.50.
A careful reading of this section dis
closes the fact that neither the quantity
of land nor amount of the loan is limited,
which is in direct opposition to the de-
mands of the alliance, and as a conse-
quence placed beyond even a considera-
tion by the order. Mr.. Stanford's bill
provides for the valuation of land inde-

Mayor Shakespeare, of New Orleans,

sponsible for the violation of municipal
law, makes no bones about his own feel
ings in the matter. He declares bluntly
that Parkerson and his associates did
just right.
