A Bandits RemOrse.

Cardinal Theodoli, the lntendant
of St Peters, Rome, who died lately
used to relate with great gusto
thrilling adventure which occurred in
1884. near the Abbey OF IrlVulSl,
near FrOsinOne, where he was spend
ing great holiday. While resting
under a tree in a neighbOring wood,
one afternoon, he was captured hY
bandits and carried 10 the top OF
mountain. His servant, who came
TO search for him, shared like fate,
In the morning the chief approached
the bishop respectfully, and, with
many apologies for the necessity
which be was under, Informed him
that they required $40, 600, which MS
servant could bring back. after Whlch
he would be Immediately set tree
| The servant was dispatched tor the
ransom, and on bis return the cap
tive was freed. The bcigands I'M
plored his pardon, saying that misery
! had driven them to adopt that mOoe
of life, and protesting that they were
good Catholics. The heart OF the
Bishop was softencd, and he gave
them his blessing. The chief seized
his hand and kissed it fervcntly, but
in doing so he cOntrived to abstract
the pastoral ring. Whether his con
science pricked him or not will never
be known, but about year later. as
the Bishop was crossing the bridge OF
St. Angelo from St. Peters, an un,
known individual thrust a small
packet into hand, which proved
on examination TO be the piltereo
ring.

Suddenly Trans formed into Destructive
Activity After Centuries OF Quiet.
One of the lesser mountains OF
Chile, whose summit is nearly 1000
feet lower than that Of our Mount
Washington, has been the talk OF
that country for a year past, says the
New York Sun. Without a note Of
warning it developed into a very
lively Volcano and its eruptions have
destroyed much property, including
the humble homes Of many farmers
living near its base This sudden
outburst was all the more surprising
because no one had ever suspected
that Mount CalbucO was capable Of
such behavior CalbucO was re-
garded as volcano that centuries
ago had lost every spark of vitality.

idea is not a new one, and wherever
it has been adopted the result mas
