LOW GiFE IN NAPLES.
Haunts of the Thieves Where Crime
 Is Bred.

The haunts of the heggars of Naples are also usually the haunts of thieves kept by some woman who trades on the vice and misery of her fellow-crea- lures. says the Gentleman's Magazine. There the miserable wretches sleep by night and assemble by day, teaching children to pick pockets and beg. Thence every morning the blind, the lame and the aged set forth on their rounds in the city. A false monk sets out to visit certain families and shops On certain days, giving numbers foi the lottery and receiving aims. An old woman departs with her pocket full of sweetmeats, with which she decoys little children into some deserted ccr- her and robs them of earrings or artF cles of clothing. Others rob the aims boxes hung up in churches or in front of shrines on the roads. These kneel before the images in fictitious devotion, beating their breasts with one hand, while with the other they fish for the money with a thin stick smeared with bird-1ime, which they insert in the small oval aperture of the box, draw ing out the coins one at time One member of the criminal class, got up as gentleman of fortune, used to frequent the public billiard saloons. where he soon made friendships with the aristocratie players, attracting them with his charming, ingenious smile. bright blue eyes. and delightful tenor voice. and was often even in vited to his friends houses and intro- duced to their families. He was no thief; his business was to inform his criminal associates Of the financial state of the families he visited. thus enabling them to make plots of rob- berv or gambling.
