Priests Expression Of Helpless Rage
Was Absolutely ComicaI.

We found the station at Naples
crowded-nay, packed-and a din Of
voices, which bafied description, says
the Rt.-Hon. Evelyn Ashlee in the Ma
tional Review. Indeed, not only there,
but all through the streets as we pass
ed along in Jul carriage the shouts and
cries were absolutely deafening. Viva

gers raised up as symbols of unity.
viva Garibaldir' Liberia, Vittore
Emmanueler' independence" etc, in
an u~nceasing roar, and an ~accompani-
ment of universal gesticulations. Only
could a southern and excitable people
have produced such a maddening
scene. Two young G~aribaldians, in
their red shirts, took advantage of this
turmoil to carry out a very comical
piece Of business, which l witnessed
with both amazement and amusement.
1t was held to be important that the
populace should think that the priests
were more or less favorable to our ac-
ton, so, as we slowly steamed into the
station and saw in the crowd a burly
priest standing and staring at us with
his hands behind his back, a bright
idea seized my two friends. They
quickly slipped out Of the train, and.
tying the padres hands behind him, in
a twinkle bundled him into n Of the
carriages that were waiting for us,
and. placing him between themselves.

pletiyes he INDUCED in the more they
repeated. Isl, 81, Italia unal" All his
remonstrances and struggles were
drowned in the uproar, and were mis-
taken for the sympathetic gesticula-
tions Of an excited southerner. The

presence OF a priest in the liberator's
cortege caught their eyes. When we
reached the end Of the main street
my Garibaldians unbound him. and.
