.nlficent monument to his memory is
erected in the Church of st. John at
Malta. The arabesque pattern of the
Maltese lace fits it especially for sacred
Total use.
Malta is at this time and tide in the
affairs of the world far from being n
,arbarous island. But tho story of the
New Testament recurs naturally to every
traveller who stops at the solid little
fortress of the Sea, with its limestone
walls and terraced shores where the
population is made up of Greek and
Hentile, Hebrew, Turk and Arab, and
the native fisherman, in his goatskin
dress, with sailors and soldiers from all
the ports coming aud going. There is a
population of 154, 1892, exclusive of
British troops and their families; "a, 600
'Are English and foreigners. 1t is said
chat there is daily attendance of
pupils at the different schools which
numbers some 5000. The arts and
trades are all well represented. There
are twenty two villages for the use of
The artisans and their families. Much
,oative flagree jewel-work finds its way
ito foreign markets.
The Maltese arc an industrious and
ingenious race. The men and women
are handsome, well-formed and with the
easy grace of carriage which belongs to
the Orientals. The women have small
hands and feet, black eyes, only one of
which is visible, the other being hidden
under the folds of the faldetta, mantle
they wear.
The Maltese language being a mixture
is full of metaphor, of rare old proverbs
and animated expressions. They are
dependent upon Italy for their literature,
their own being of the scantiest de.
sscription.
Marriages in Malta are usually ar
ranged between the young people by
parents. The native customs are very
interesting, music, flowers and sweets
being prominent in the ceremonies. The
,,l,mothers of the contracting parties meet
to brew a concoction of anise.seed,
honey, and other aromatic plants, with
which they anoint the brides lips to
mako her discreet and submissive. Her
husband then presents her with be.
.trothal ring upon which two clasped
hands, signifying fidelity, are engraved,
and as large an assortment of other jew.
.elry as his station in life will allow, while
=she bestows upon him lace handker-
chief, tied with ribbons, symbolical of
purity and chastity. AT the marriage
there is general feasting and rejoicing.
Bells are rung, singers and street n.usi-
scians announce the coming of the pair,
and baskets of confectionery are
distributed among the crowd. The
ceremony lasts several hours.
AS the young couple enter the
house on their return, attendants drop
grain and small coin upon their heads to
Insure their being rich and fruitful. One
,of the superstitions of the Maltese is the
belief that if the bride first steps over the
threshold her husband will be in do
minion to her, so this mischance is
tstudiously avoided.
Their mourning customs are also full
Iof interest, and most impressive. Women
,of death, called Neuicha. hired for the

PURSUIT OF CARA,
The United States Authorities to Attempt
to Capture the Bandit.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Cara move
ment along the Mexican border is giving
the officials Of the War Department consid-
cradle trouble just at present. No secret IS
made Of their disappointment that CARA is
still al large in United States territory. and
that his operations cannot be confined ex-
clusiyely 10 Mexican soil. CARA aud his
followers are known TO nave received aid
and sympathy from the Mexican residents in
the vicinity # the Rio Grande, and the fact
that the United States troops are unable to
capture the TeyOlutionist is in a large meas
ure attributed to the receptions practiced
on them by these people. Acting Secretary
OF War Grant ana General SchOfield had a
conference with the President on the sub
lect to-day, and it is understood that it was
decided to take vigorous action TO CAPTURE
Cara and his immediate followers. or drive
them ont Of this country. Senior Romero,
the Mexican Minister, also had talk with
Secretary Blaine on the same subject to-
day and he was assured that the depart
ment would do its utmost to preserve the
neutrality laws,
