The lives lived by the Moors are
without perhaps any exception, thC
most precarious and miserable that car
be imagined. The poor man is thrown
into prison for sums he never possessed
aud can never pay, the rich to be
squeezed Of all he possesses, while those
only can hope to escape who are mem
bers of families sufficiently powerful to
arouse the fears of the local governor
should he attempt extortion and not
sufficiently powerful to stir up the jeal-
ousy and avarioe of the sultan.
Even the governors of the provinces
suffer themselves as they make Others
suffer, for just as they squeeze the agri-
oulturist and the peasant so are they in
turn squeezed by the sultan and his
viziers, and should they fail by constant
presents to maintain a good opinion at
the court they can expect only impris-
onment and often death. -Blackwood's

1t Was Founded In the Eleventh Century
and It's Constitution still Lives.
During the tenth century Corsica was
the prey of contending barons, who in
their struggles for territory rayaged the
island and despoiled the people
At last, in the first year of the
eleventh century, the lord of the Char
ca, to the northeast of Ajaccio, a baron
more powerful than the rest, sought to
make himself ruler of the island under
the title Of count of Corsica.
He had triumphed over his brother
barons, hut he had not reokoned with
the democracy Of the island. That long
suffering body arose, and in one deci-.
sive battle swept away the lord Of the
Cinarea and proclaimed that the land Of
Corsica belonged to the people of Cor
sica
Sambucuccio and the island assembly
founded in 1907 what is known as ''La
Terra di Commune" and gave it a pop
ular constitution, which has ever since |
been held sacred. Under this oonstitu-
ton the various hamlets Of valley |
were formed into q pieve, or parish, !
presided over by a podesta, OF mayor, |
and two or more communal fathers, "
7ho nominated a oaporale, a sort Of
ribune Of the people.
The various podestas or mayors of
htferent parishes assembled and elected
supreme council consisting Of - men.
