THE ITALIAN PEOPLE.

A View of Their Present Condition and
 Prospects for the Future.
 What are the prospects of the people? That depends in the present case large ly upon the people themselves. A peo- pie that are not united will never bear taxation patiently, because a disunited people cannot be commercially pros porous, and, therefore, cannot afford to pay tho t0--~~ T'70 difference between north and south Italy, or between Pied mont and Sicily, are not, indeed, like those between Ireland and England, largely religious, but they are certain ly radical, and the gulf between the easygoing, but passionate, children of the two Sicilies and the hardy noun taineer and stalwart cultivator of the Piedmont plains is almost as wide as the chasm between the Teuton and the Celt. Victor Emanuers favorite unifer of Italy was the army, but, says the Fortnightly Review, it has turned in the hands of his successor into a disin- tegrator. It was all very well to move the army up and down Italy when the army was a symbol of common ibera- ton from which so much was expected; but now the tyrants are gone there is no longer halo of romance about the army, nothing but army bills. The tyrant now is the tax collector.
 Undoubtedly the people have griev- ance. The taxes have been not only cruelty but unjustly exacted. The col lector has entered Sicilian cottages, backed by the police, and, seeing the pot-a-feu smoking, argued that those who could afford to eat could afford to pay supplement" or excess tax, and if it turned out there was no money, the officers of the law have been known to seize the dinner and throw it out the window, under the noses of the poor peasant and his hungry family. There was no redress for the subjects of Hum- bert Hov r0oro than for those of Bomba,

The letter writer of to- day, unlike his predecessor, does not confide his experiences-whatev form they may have taken-to his friend and correspondent: and if he has anything worth saying on any particular subject he rushes into print forthwith. into the pages of one or other of the many mag azines, or into the daily or weekly newspapers. Women are not one whit behind men in this respect, and news paper and magazine readers are the re- cipients of their condolences, and what they have seen and done becomes at once public property.
 The admira ble diction, the vigorous English, the polished periods, the tell ing epigrams in the careful and we'll thought-out essays of the day are not to be found as heretofore in private correspondence, but in magazine and journalistic literature. Mir. Lang re- marks that the fear or hope" of hay ing their letters published inspired many of the old eminent hands to do their best for fame and posterity, as well as for their correspondents. Miss Austen kept her wit for the world, 5 and gave fiat gossip" to the worthy, dull ladies" with whom she core sponded. Of literary letters none ex- eel Shelly's." Scotts are simply mat ural, business-like and unpretentious; Thackeray, though he lived in our ten few letters." yet for tone, style, wit and loving kindness his are among the best in the world
 The points in the notes of the day which have superseded letters-are con- ciseness and brevity, to write without preamble of any kind and to go to the root of the matter at once. Formerly. if anything in the way of request was made, suggestion as regards plan to do something, or any ono of the thou sand soclal trifes that fill up leisure and life, it required lead of some lines to introduce it, and oftener than not an apology also. But now almost tel egraphic conciseness is the mode adopted. and aught else would read out of date; in truth, telegrams have not little to do in forming the present form of letter writing, and have taught economy.in the use of words. It may be said that the letters of to-day are the direct antithesis of those of yore. Then too many subjects could not be broached and commented upon; now the reverse is the rule, and to keep to one subject only, and that in the fewest words, is what society affects, I hence the brief notes we all receive and write; yet, brief as they are, clever man or talented woman conveys in a sentence or two the gist of the whole matter. epigrammatical in neatness and subtly humorous-a compensation small in its way, perhaps, for the lengthy epistles of the past, but all this worka- day world has time either to write or to read.

TO IMPROVE YOUR LOOKS.

Devices for Making the Complexion Bet ter and Adding to Physical Beauty.
 Vanity furnishes the inspiration for many of the inventions of the patent office. One of these is a mask of very thin rubber, designed to be worn on the face at night. It causes profuse perspiration, which washes impurities out of the skin and makes the complex ion clearer. Sun tan is quickly re- moved, so it is claimed.
 Another device for producing dim pies, according to the Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette, is a woman's idea. It is a wire mask, likewise to put on when going to bed. By an arrangement of screws, pencils of wood, very blunt, are made to press upon the cheeks and chin at the points where dimples are desired. Uncomfortable? Why, of course. But, as the French say, it is worth while to suffer for beauty's sake.
 False busts, hips and calves are made of rubber, to be blown out like bal looms, and in many other styles, while the young lady of build hopelessly Shc1ttOucSluC ul1y plOCulC d SOlilplCuO stuffed jacket which fills out her form at every point to the extent requisite for counterfeiting desirable embon- point.
 If one is so unfortunate as to lack nose he can obtain false one of papier mache, artfully enameled to initiate the skin. One kind of imitation pro- boscis is attached to spectacle frame, so that the owner puts on his counter felt nasal organ in adjusting his glasses.
 Masculine vanity is concerned in the genesis of about eighty patents for various kinds of mustache guards. One such is a gold plate with spring, which may be fastened to any drink ing vessel at moments motive.
 Another is especially designed for beer glasses. A tube connecting with it goes down deep into the beer, so that the mustached thinker is able to avoid the foam.
 Other guards are destined to be worn like spectacles somewhat, with wires to pass to the back of the ears of the -wearer, and hold them on. The shield for the mustache is of gold or silver, or of fine gold wire net.

When Selling Attractive Horses.

When you have matched up an at tractive pair of horses, do not expect the buyer to supply in his fancy the appointments that srake the pair doubly attractive. Put ( well-ftting, we'll trimmed harness on them, and harness them to a vehicle that will show them to the best advantage. If small, it would be the height of folly to harness such pair to high wagon, and thus dwarf their size. A tasty blackboard or low runa bout wagon, or, better yet, a wagon with pneumatic rim wheels, will make 8 small pair look much better. and the whole turnout will be in harmony.-RuralW World.

Paris, February 16.-The cabinet has
decided to ignore the vote taken in
the Senate yesterday, which was
repetition of a vote of that body OF
February 11th, deprecating the irregu-
larities disclosed in connection with
the Southern railway scandal, and de-
manding a searching inquiry. The
newspapers here express the belief
that no issue from the cabinet crisis
is possible, except through the resig-
nation OF Nj. kicard, minister OF JUS
tice.
London, February 17.-The Paris
correspondent OF the Times telegraphs
as follows TO that paper:
The cabinet has sounded a clear
note. If it succeeds it is nothing more
nor less than coup d'etat. Ii it fails
it is an act of violence to no good end.
The setting aside of the vote Of the
Senate virtually upsets the constiu-
ton. If the Senate stands firm, there
are only two alternatives: the resig-
nation of the ministers or the expulsion
of the Senate by mob. The latter
would mean the superceding of the con-
stitution by a revolutionary conyen-
ton.
THE Chamber of Deputies, which re-
assemblies on Thursday, after q cabinet
council on Tuesday, may, however,
recoil from a second vote, which might
prove disastrous.
The situation is the most delicate
we have seen in twenty-five years"
London, February 1.-THE special
dispatches from Paris this morning all
agree as TO the gravity Of the French
crisis. According to a seml-ofiicial
statement, NJ. Bourgeois, the premier,
had an interview with President Faure
| Sunday afternoon and explained that
! the conflict of the Senate with the
Chamber had assumed such a character
that a resignation of the ministry would
not solve the crisis. The cabinet had
| therefore decided TO await the further
expression of the opinion Of the Cham
! Der, the ministers agreeing that they
can no more yield TO the Senate than
they can disregard the confidence OF the
| Chamber.
A dispatch from Paris to the Post
says: The real origWsf { the crisis is
the determination e Senate to
overthrow the Radit r>siplsSy Ola
die in the attemPS NJ, .-rrto N.,N
Seize has France been on the brink OF
so extensive an upheaval. President
| Faure's position is shaken and he is
severely blamed by all moderate poll
ticians for suffering the experiment OF
a Radical ministry, failing to foresee
the countless difficulties that were
bound to follow"
A Paris dispatch to the Daily News
says: "The most noticeable feature Of
/ the crisis is the apathy Of the public and
the belief that all will come right some
how. The Chamber is unlikely to yield
and already dissolution is in tho air."

MILITARY UNDER ORDERS.
Various Rumors as to the Cause of the Pre-
caution.

Cincinnati, O., February 16.-The
Commercial Gazette's special from
Frankfort, KY, says: The McCreary
guards are under orders tonight and
a load of ammunition was taken TO
their armory. There were rumors that
this precaution is in anticipation of
trouble in the Legislature; at New
port, on account oil jackson and Wall
ing, the muTderers OF Pearl Bryan,
being transferred across the river, and
on account OF the danger OF lynching
at Augusta, KY While the State Off
cials deny all the rumors, it is general
ly believed that this action is in an
ticipation of a lynching at Augusta.
At the funerals of Mrs. Laughlin and
May Jones to-day, Robert Laughlin
broke down. The officers watched him
closely, and the popular belief is that
Laughlin assaulted May Jones and was
caught by his wife, when a struggle
ensued, resulting in Robert Laughlin
killing his wife and his thirteen-year-
old niece and then burning his house
to hide the crime. The people do not
believe the story of Laughlin that
masked robbers killed his wife and
niece. assaulted him and fired the
house. The neighbors are so indig-
nant that lynching is expected.
