Corsica's Last Bandit.

Corsica has got rid of the old fash
toned brigand, and the last of the
Sicilian bandits"-perhaps a disputed
title-was lately laid by the heels and
is now facing the ordeal Of his trial
at Aquila. He is Giuseppe Salomone.
He Is a dandy, and has always paid
particular attention to his clothes. He
has an expensive taste in perfume and
in gloves. He is a poet. His time in
prison has been spent in writing a
poetic drama Of his life's experiences,
and he has written a good deal Of
commendable verse. He Is said to
have made a fortune in brigandage.

Appointed Day Of Judgment.

A horse dealer in an English town
had lent q horse to a solicitor, who
killed the animal through bad usage.
The dealer insisted on payment, and
the lawyer, refusing cash, said he
would give a bill for the amount, but
It must be at a long date. The law
yer drew a promissory note, making
it payable on the day of judgment.
An action was raised, and the lawyer
asked the sheriff to look at the bill.
Having done so, the sheriff replied:
"This is the day Of judgment. I decree
you pay tomorrow"

Siberian Land Threatened.

Extensive tracts Of land In Siberia
are threatened by the e~ncroachment
