There are in the United States to-
day three interesting settlements OF
Waldenses, the Protestants of the
Italian mountain regions, followers of
Peter Waldo, of Lyons. There are
settlements in Missouri and in Utah,
but the largest and most promising
centers about the town of Naldese, in
Burke county, n. c.
The sufferings which the forefathers
Of these peculiar immigrants endured
in Europe for centuries proved them
to be almost saints. In 1855 there
was a massacre by order of the Duke
of Savoy. which was more terrible
than the recent one at Kishineff. The
Waldenses then lived in the valley OF
Lucerne, and were prosperous and
happy people. The massacre was by
Piedmontese soldiers, led by Mar
Quise di PianeZza, and lasted for eight
days, resulting in three hundred indi
ter besides. Women were carried
about impaled on spikes. Men. women
. and children were flung from preci
pices, hacked, tortured and roasted
alive. The heads of some of the
dead were boiled and the brains eaten,

OLD SOLDIERS WANT MONEY.
Will Demand Accounting for Sum Held
in Trust by Pope.

Duke Francis V. of Tie house OF
Australasia, who ruled the provinces
of Modena and Massa Carrara before
the unification OF Italy, and was dis
possessed by Victor Emmanuel H., in
in 1860, bequeathed, in 1875, when he
died legacy amounting ta 1000, COO.
in favor of his old destitute soldiers.
This sum was intrusted to Pope Plus
TX. for distribution. Some years ago
the surviving soldiers of Duke Francis
brought suit against the Pope for the
payment of the legacy. The Pope,
however, only disbursed few francs
to some utterly needy families, and
the suit remained still undecided. Now
about 300 of Duke Francis former sol
diers have decided to ask the vatican
to give an account of the huge sum
intrusted to Plus IX., and, in view OF
the mutual position of Italy and the
vatican, some curious development
are expected.

Among the rulers aroused to protest
was Cromwell of England. Milton was
drawn to write his immortal poem
which begins, "Avenge. o Lord! Thy

hand and threatened. The result was
the treaty of Pignerol. which restored
the Waldenses to their former privil-
eyes. For many years they have been
living as peacefully as any other Ital-

buy three thousand acres of cheap
mountain land, to be paid for on year

most of the little farms have been
paid for and the last debt will be- re-
