Signora Zampini Salazar to New York.
The Italian government sent this
gifted woman to Chicago in response
to an invitation to take part in the in
ternational congresses There she spoke
before nine different congresses She
came fully prepared to talk of her
country women, for she not only
studied their condition theoretically
but travelled through all the provinces
and noted their habits of thought and
life.
Her object in remaining in this coun-
try is to deliver series of drawing
room lectures and also to study the
condition of the independent American
woman. There will be three courses
of lectures, one concerning woman and
her work, the other two on Life and
Art Industries of Italy"

About Sun Spots.

People hear and read great deal
about the sun spots nowadays. As
tronomers say that the diameter Of the
sun is about eight hundred and eighty
thousand miles. and in comparison to
the earth is as large carriage wheel
to a marble. If therefore, the spots
observed appear to be about one
twentieth the diameter of the disk
they occupy space about forty-four
thousand miles in diameter. To view
the sun take hay morning or even

NERVOUSNESS IN COMMAND.
The Fatal Effect Of Losing Self-Control in
Emergencies.

The Fatal Eject OF Losing Self-ContrOl In
Emergencies.
Capt Bird. Of Roanoke. made a brave
effort to maintain public order in a
Virginia town which was under the
control of an exasperated mob. There
was a negro criminal IN Jail who was
exposed to the horrors Of lynch law.
Mayor Trout had called out the Light
infantry. The mob battered at the Jail
doors, and fired upon the mayor and
Capt Birds men. The militia returned
the fire with destructive effect, and the
mob fell back, carrying off those who
were killed and wounded.
Capt. Bird and his militia company
had acted with high courage. and were,
masters of the situation. They had
only to hold their ground and to tele-
graph to the governor of Virginia for
reinforcements in order to inspire re-
spect for law.
Instead. however, of persevering in
the defense of the Jail, they were over
come with nervousness and horror.
The militia was disbanded and the
town left at the mercy of an infuriated
mob, which wreaked it's vengeance
upon the negro, and would have MUIR
dered the mayor. Capt. Bird and his
officers if they had not taken refuge in
fight.
Nervousness and the irresolution that
spring from it are almost always fatal
in sudden emergencies, when public
officers are called upon to act with
GOODNESS. resolution and intelligence in
suppressing mob violence. 1t is a
quality which com mander must con-
troll in himself, or else he will impart
1t to his men.
Gen. Gordon, in his amazing cam
paign against the Chinese Tai-pings,
was constantly confronted with mutiny
in his own army His officers and men
were enraged by his inexorable disci
pline, and his stern refusal to allow
them to plumber and loot captured
towns; but they were invariably mas
tered by his GOODNESS and infexible
will.
One day regiment which had been
ordered to embark in barges from
Quinsan, mutinied, and refused to
leave the parade-ground. Gen. Cor
don, apparently unar1ned, and exceed
ingly quiet and self-possessed. took
his stand in front of the rebellious SOL
diers.
In quiet voice he ordered every
man who was unwilling to embark to
step to the front. One man advanced
with a defiant air, while the regiment
looked on.
Gen. Gordon drew a revolver. pre-
sented it at the mutineer's head. and
ordered him to march to the boats. 1t
was one man against regiment of
angry and insubordinate soldiers, but
he was absolutely fearless. If he had
shown a trace of nervous hesitation,
the soldiers would have revolted. shot
him and their officers, and committed
the widest excesses AS it was, the
mutineer obeyed the order, the regi-
ment fell into line, and embarked in
the boats.
The militia is body which can be
massed against forces Of disorder in
emergencies. but If it be employed in
an irresclute way it will do more harm
than good. The officers must know
how to fight mob, and to make reso-
late use Of a victory when one has been
won. Nervousness and vacillation are
as fatal in dealing with American mobs
as the same qualities would have been
in disciplining Gen. Gordon's Chinese
mutineers.- Companion

Milking Reindeer.

Tho process Of milking herd Of rein
deer is singular, and we have often
watched it with interest, especially when
after long tramp across the fields we
looked forward to share Of it ourselves.
Attended by the sharp nosed Lapland
dogs, the herd appears, its members
packed closely together and forming a
compact mass, in which the horns are
d prominent feature. As they approach
nearer, one hears a grunting exactly like
swine, and curious, cracking sound,
produced by the contact of innumerablo
horns and limbs. They are then driven
into an inclosurc, each animal is lassoed
IN its turn over the horns and dragged

As heretofore mentioned in TIL
ARGUS, the contemplated marriage oi
two Ut the Young people belonging to
the tribe OF gypsies located near the
abattoir in the lower end OF the city,
was celebrated yesterday afternoon
ut about 8 o'clock ut st. Joscph's
church, Rev. Thomas Mackin per.
forming the ceremony which made
Stan George and Miss Maggie STAN
ley man and wife. The fact that such
an event was to take place, out OF
curiosity attracted people from all
parts Of the city, who, before the ar
rival OF the bridal party, fairly
throngcd the church. anxious to be
an eyewitness to the marriage of the
Romany RYE and his beautiful bru-
nettc bride. To see four carriages
bearing members Of the gypsy tribe

therefrom number Of neatly dressed
and prim looking people. one would
be inclined to believe that a couple
belonging 70 the 400" was to wed,
rather than two wandering inhabi-
tants of the canvass.
At the Camp.
Elaborate preparations had been
made to appropriately celebrate the
event.. two hogs having been roasted,
and other provisions gotten in readi-
ness for woodland banquet among
the members Of the tribe in honor of
the marriage of two of their number.
A colored glee club had also been
engaged. and last night the vicinity
Of the abattoir fairly rang with sing
ing. music. dancing and other Joy
Gus ceremonies peculiar to this peo-
pie.
Queer rormalitiea.
Rather queer program is gone
through by the tribe just prior to the
marriage of gypsy pair. After the
bride and groom have donned their
best and are about to start for the
minister's. the parents OF the bride
raise an objection and take their
daughter. together with the other
female members of the camp. and put
them all in one tent. The men be-
come indignant, secure arms
and declare war on the old folks If
their daughter is not released.
After n little hostile persuasion the
parents yield, and the two lovers are
then enclosed in tent by themselves
for short time. while the remainder

boots and yells. A couple of buckets
OF water are secured. and when the
lovers are released, they are forced
to stand still while the water is
poured all over them. A circle is
then formed around the couple by
the other gypsies. each of whom has
secured a switch. and the lovers are
whipped until they are able to break
through the ring. when they are
liberated, and the marriage ceremony
is proceeded with. No less than
1.50O people were attracted to the
camp yesterday afternoon, and those
who were lucky enough to see the
formalities through which the young
couple were put, saw a novel sight.
The gypsies have not. as yet. decided
when they will leave this locality.
but it will be soon after the compile

ing built for them by the Rock ISL
and Buggy company. The Mitchell
