Gypsies' Terrible Revenge

The neighborhood of Kapolya, in
Hungary, has recently been infested
with marauding bands of gypsies. AS
preventive measure and as warn
ing to the others the gendarmes cap
tured one of the gangs, and only re-
leased them after cutting short the
hair of the principal members. This is
considered by the gypsies to be the
most awful humiliation, and the gang
determined to have its revenge. One
dark night they sneaked back to the
village and poisoned the wells. Next
day Is persons died and very great
number were taken seriously ill. Sew
eral gypsies have been arrested, and
large quantity of strychnine was found
on their persons.-Vienna Cor. London

heavy against him. He was especial
ly unfortunate in his advisers.
Through the influence of French
officer he decreed that all who resist
ed his authority in arms should be
shot. Mexican officers, among them
famous general, were shot down
like beasts. In the end, of course,
the Mexicans won. Macmillan was
taken prisoner, tried by court-martial
and condemned to death.
Strenuous efforts were made by
Prince and Princess Salm Salm in his
behalf. The prince was an old school
fellow of MaXimilian's; the princess a
warm admirer. The princess lnelt at
the feet of Diaz, or Juarez, late pres
ident, and pleaded that his judges
pass no heavier sentence than ban
ishment; and after the dire sentence
was passed she implored pardon. But
to no avail.
On the morning of June 10, 1869,
Macmillan was led to the Hill of
the Bells" at Queritero, where a de-
tail of soldiers stood ready to carry
out their grim orders. The emperor
was calm and gentle. He put a gold
piece into the hand of each soldier;
to the officer who begged his forgive
ness for the deed about to be COM
mitted he said: "My son, you but do
your duty" And with his last
thought, word and deed for others,
he took the place assigned him and
awaited, unafraid, the final move
ment. 1t was not long; the soldiers
did their work without bungling.
With the words: so, mani" on his
lips, MaXimilian fell.

n FTER an interval of twoscore
n years Mexico and Austria have
decided to bury the Ratchet

leo is more addicted to slender ciga
rettes and Austria to elephantine CT
gars than to the peace pipe, but for
the sake of calm and commerce the
pipe has been passed from mouth to

When one hears of the renewal of
diplomatic reactions between Austria
and Mexico, Immediately ones
thoughts go back to the days of the
French Intervention, to the days of
the Inflated Maximilian and the un-
happy Carlotta, the one meeting
death in foreign land at the hands
of eXecutioners, the other a living
death in padded cell. One sets to
work to recall the story of these two,
a bit of the history of which they
are central figures.
1t was in 1861, England, France and
Spain planned as joint undertaking
