Reads Lilse Olden TImea.

A touching incident occurred at the
Swedish court the other day. A coun-
trywoman asked and obtained an audi
ence of King Oscar, whom she told that
she had tramped all the way to Stock
holm from her dwelling in remote
part of the country in order to pray his
Majesty to remit the remainder of a
sentence of seven years penal servitudc
passed upon her sister four years ago
for having attempted to poison her (thc
applicant), in order to obtain possession
of her watch and dresses, and from the
effects of which she had only just re-
covered. King Oscar was greatly af-
fected and promised the good woman
that Ec would do all in his power to
grant her prayer.

Omcial Investigations Which Modify tho
Early Reports of Unspeakable Horrors.
The horrors of life in the two con-
vents of Naples have recently formed
the subject of animadversions by the
anti-clerical journals in Naples. These
reports coming to the knowledge of the
procuratore del re have led to the de-
termination to investigate the estab-
llshmcnts in order to ascertain the
foundation of the accusations.
'One OF the converts" says the Lon
don Times correspondent, "is known rs
the Thirty-three, though the number of
the inmates has been reduced to twen-
ty-nine, of whom only sixteen are nuns,
the rest being rather servants; the
other is called the Sepolte Vive-buried
alive.
"1n the former no irregularity was
found beyond the concealment of their
occupation of building which belongs
to the hospital for incurables, and
which will be reclaimed for hospital
uses so far as it is not necessary for the
remaining members of the community.
Ihe quarters are spacious and even
magnificent, and at the inspection moth
ing seemed to require interference be-
yond the appropriation of n part of the
buildings to the needs of hospital service
with regard to the community known
as the Sepolte Vive quite n different
state of things existed. According to
the official reports the nuns were con-
sidered as cut off from the world and
from all intercourse with their friends,
and were only known by their baptis-
nd
vestigation takes place it will be impos-
| sible to ascertain who they are.
There does not appear, however,
any reason to suppose that any were
| immured against their will or that they
| desired to be liberated, but it is clear
| that some of the inmates have been adj
mitted in violation of the law, which
after certain period forbade the re-
ception of any more new members of
any religious community. In one case
a very beautiful woman was only
twenty-nine years Of age, and as the
| latest date at which, according to law,
| any reception of n nun in any convent
in Italy could take place was 1866, ex-
cepting in that portion remaining under
the Pope, where the date was 1870, she has
apparently been received in violation of
the law, which renders all ecclesiastical
authorities subject to IL criminal prose-
| cution.
SIN the Sepolte Vive the cells were
found SO nauseous from constant occu-
| patton and utter want of ventilation
that the atmosphere is described by one
| of the visitors as sicleening. The in
mates do not appear TO have been pro-
vided with any occupation beyond re-
| lgious contemplation, and some of
them are represented as reduced to u
state of hebetude, SO that it was doubt
full if they could give an Ineligible ac-
count OF themselves or their former re-
lations with the world. Their manner
of life seems to have been ascetic in the
extreme and as nearly as possible justi-
flying their title, The Buried Alive
Besides the nuns garb they wear walls,
which are of close, heavy stuff, ALMOST

The chigger may CHG with all its

the froglet frog, and the farmer
