A Band OF Assassins.

The great work of General Church in
Apulia was the destruction of the De-
cisi and the execution Of their chief, the
Abate Giro Annichiarico. Therank and
file of this society consisted wholly of
murderers, none being admitted to
membership unless he could prove that
he had killed at least two persons in
cold blood. Giro, its chief and founder,
was renegade priest, the list of whose
personal homicides is horrible and tedi-
GUS. But his power was so great that
no peasant or noble dared betray his se-
cret. The people, too. believed him to
be a stregone, and it was said that his
death was only effected by silver bull
let from his own carbine, which, "of
course, broke the spell of his cnchant-
ments
So confident and fearless in them
selves were tho Decisi that their chiefs
wore silver deaths head round the
neck, and openly carried dagger with
inscriptions identifying the owners as
members of the band. They had special
rites and ceremonies, aud banners and
trumpets, and the other societies, such
as the Filadelfi and the Republica Salem
tina, were affiliated to them. The great
est blow struck at the Decisi was tho
direct result of this utilization. At a
campo Of the Filadelfii, presided over
by rich lawyer of Lecce, decree Of
death to Generate Giorgio Gas they
translated Church s namel was formally
pronounced. 1t was sent ON to the De-
cisi for execution, which called a meet
ing to comply with the amiable request.
But "Giorgio" had got wind of the
meeting, and the terror was trapped in
the nick of time Academy.

A Word to oanting Critic. of hard work

Word to Canting Critics of Hard Work.
There is a great deal of advice given
by writers and preachers to contempo-
rary professional and business men
which is of the nature of cant; some
thing, that is, which its authors talk
from a tradition that it ought to be
said, but which they, as we'll as the ad-
vised, show by their disregard of it in
actual life that they do not really be-
lieve, or think ought to be believed. We
are told that we ought not to work so
hard; ought not to put such strain
upon ourselves; ought to make our
ideals simpler and easier of attainment;
ought hot to want SO much; ought, as
The British Medical Journal once said,
to take little more care not to kill
ourselves for the sake of living.
There are silly extremes of overwork,
and tragic ones, like mania. which no
one would seek to justify. They are
generally to be condemned on other
grounds than that they risk life But,
as rule. the multitude of men in pro-
fessional aud business pursuits, whose
intensity Of work excites these homilies,
are working, according TO their lights,
for ends for which the unsparing use of
their lives is justifiable and even praise
worthy; or. in the rarer cases in which
they are doing it because they cannot
help themselves, are aiding civiliza-
tion which. in spite Of our moments Of
dependency and rebellion. we ali know
is higher and better with all the ameni-
ties aud refnements it accumulates. -
