A STRANGE, WIERD'STORY. "In my youth," began the Italian, "I was filled with the dreams of liberty and United Italy. I was born in Naples of peasant parentage, and taught to cringe and crouch at the feet of priests and nobles. My soul revolted at the abasement of my body, and with my manhood I joined the Society of the Carbonari, the mighty secret Order whose mission is to tread on the necks of tyrants and oppressors of the people. For twenty years I blindly obeyed the behests of my superiors. Sometimes I was instructed to obtain the position of body servant to a Minister of State, or a great noble, or a bishop, so that I could steal their correspondence and listen to their secrets; but my general employment was to mix with my fellow peasants and talk to them of freedom. I had no difficulty in finding situations, for the Carbonari are of all ranks of life, and the nobles who belonged to the Order would recommend him 'as a faithful fellow' to the exalted personages whose actions were to be watched. At last the savior of Italy, the great, the noble Garibaldi, tore Sicily from the grasp of our tyrant, Francis, and we knew the time would soon arrive when Naples also would be united to Italy and our brutal monarch dethroned. I was instructed to take the position of valet to the King, and on recommendation of the Grand Chamberlain, a brother of our Order, I was appointed. At once took my quarters in the palace and began my duties. I will not tell you how bitterly I hated the King when I became the constant witness of his cruelties. While I was dressing and with my knife I began to loosen the mortar round the bricks of the back wall. To my delight, the mortar crumbled easily, and I dislodged brick after brick. It was tedious work, however, and I made slow progress in the dark, for I did not like to use many of my matches; besides the burning of sulphur made the confined air of the niche still more unsupportable. I soon found I was burrowing through a wall entirely composed of bricks of a depth of two feet or more. At last, after working for two or three hours, a current of foul air into my face told me that I had pierced the wall. I worked eagerly to enlarge the opening, presuming I was making my way into a sewer, until the hole was large enough to pass my body. I threw a brick to sound the depth; it struck at once, so I knew I had not far to fall. I crept through backward, hung a moment by my hands and let myself fall in the darkness. I fell in the midst of a number of small moving bodies which scattered in every direction. I knew they were rats. I struck a match, and the light fell on a pyramid of skulls and bones. 'Good God, where was it?' I lit another match and layers of mouldy coffins met my view and myriads of rats running everywhere. Then I knew where I was. I had made my way into the catacombs beneath the city of Naples. My teeth chattered with horror. How was it possible for me ever to find my way through the tortuous labyrinths of this vast wilderness of the dead? The darkness was something frightful, and the rats, grown bolder, were beginning to bite at my boots. In a few minutes they would surround me in myriads, overpower me, and tear me to pieces. I struck out right and left with my feet and hands and hacked with my knife as I rushed forward lighting matches, of which fortunately I had a good many, as a guide to my footsteps. The rats now made for me in earnest. They ran all over me and pressed against me in hundreds. A dozen times I fell, but managed to rise to my feet again, killing scores of enemies, but being horribly bitten in every portion of my body. Growing every PROGRESS AND WAGES IN ENGLAND. [Workingman's Communication to Lands Mercury.] I will endeavor as briefly as possible to state the workman's case from a working man's point of view; and in so doing I do not intend to depict the workman out of employment, or the idle, worthless fellow who might have work if he would. The typical workingman I shall try to portray is in regular employment. He is not subject to loss of time through stress of weather, is warm and dry and comfortable when at work—in fact, his situation is the beau ideal of a laborer's existence; and moreover, our much-favored friend is, after his week's work of fifty-four hours, rewarded with the munificent sum of twenty shillings. Truly a regal recompense, is it not? Having got hold of his wages, our next consideration is, what will he do with them? Being, as I have hinted, a steady man, our workman friend will go straight home with his hard-earned money. He would rather see his "old woman" looking smart and tidy than any other woman in existence. After dinner we may have, then, a committee of ways and means. First comes the rent, for which, for a living-room and two small bedrooms, he pays three shillings per week; next, being a provident man, he belongs to two friendly societies—or lodges, as they are commonly called. These will take another shilling from our friend's weekly income, leaving sixteen shillings for food and clothing, fire and lighting, for himself, his wife and three children; or an average of three shillings two and one-half pence per head. You may depend upon it gentleman, no obsessions butcher or At last the savior of Italy, the great, the noble Garibaldi, tore Sicily from the grasp of our tyrant, Francis, and we knew the time would soon arrive when Naples also would be united to Italy and our brutal monarch dethroned. I was instructed to take the position of valet to the King, and on recommendation of the Grand Chamberlain, a brother of our Order, I was appointed. I at once took my quarters in the palace and began my duties. I will not tell you how bitterly I hated the King when I became the constant witness of his cruelty. While I was dressing his hair of a morning I always heard the report of the chief of the spies, who had the first audience, and I watched the tyrant sign the many orders for the arrest and torture of the unfortunate whose only crime was patriotism. One day there was to be an important secret council between the King, the Secretary of State and a clergyman. I was instructed to obtain information, and with that object succeeded in hiding myself unobserved behind the hangings of the King's cabinet. The counsel began, and I was soon the possessor of state matters which would be of immense value to the Liberal party. I was congratulating myself on the service I should be able to render my order, when an irresistible inclination came over me to sneeze. I resisted to my utmost, but at last could restrain myself no longer, and a loud 'a-chee' betrayed my presence behind the curtains. The minister dragged me forward in front of the King. For a few minutes nobody spoke; finally the King said: 'He appears to like corners of the wall; can we not find him a little niche for his special accommodation?' The clergyman smiled, the minister nodded and the King touched a handbell. Two soldiers appeared. The minister wrote a few words, handed it to one of the guards, and I was led away to a cell beneath the foundations, where I remained in darkness for several hours, anticipating a summons to the torture chamber. The door of my dungeon was opened. Men entered, who tied my hands, placed a gag in my mouth and a bandage round my eyes. I was led to a carriage and driven some distance with a guard by my side. After driving for about half an hour the marriage stopped, and with a guard at each arm I entered a house. I could not see what sort of house, for my eyes were still bandaged. After traveling what appeared to be several tortuous passages we began to descend steps, and I presumed I was being led to a deep dungeon. We halted and the bandage was removed from my eyes, and I found myself in a damp brick cellar with an arched roof, evidently the foundation vault of a building. In one corner was a deep niche, and a man was engaged with bricks and mortar building a wall which would close up the niche from view. My guards were an officer and six soldiers. 'Prisoner,' said the officer, 'his Majesty, being aware of your fondness for retirement, herewith presents you with a portion of the wall of one of the royal prisons, and has possibly been something frightful, and the rats, grown bolder, were beginning to bite at my boots. In a few minutes they would surround me in myriads, overpower me, and tear我 to pieces. I gruck out right and left with my feet and hands and hacked with my knife as I rushed forward lighting matches, of which fortunately I had a good many, as a guide to my footsteps. The rats now made for me in earnest. They ran all over me and pressed against me in hundreds. A dozen times I fell, but managed to rise to my feet again, killing scores of enemies, but being horribly bitten in every portion of my body. Growing every moment more faint with loss of blood, despair seized me, and I knew if I fell again I should not have the strength to rise. I drew out the remainder of my matches. In lightening them all took fire together and fell in a blaze among the rats. This frightened them from me for a few seconds, and at the same time I became aware of a turning in the vaults, at the end of which I saw a fear glimmer of light. I rushed toward it with the energy of sudden hope. It was a barred grill leading doubtless to a church, for in Naples nearly all the churches have entrances to the catacombs. I kicked and hammered at the door as well as my wounded hands and feet would allow, and oh joy! I was greeted by a human voice, and a blanched face appeared at the grill. 'For the love of God let me out,' she shrieked. 'I was left behind by accident when with a funeral party, and an nearly devoured by the rats.' The key was turned and I staggered forward into the hands of a priest. "Six months after I recovered consciousness in one of the wards of the public hospital. I had been delirious all that time with brain fever, and the doctors did not suppose I would live. With returned reason, came convaclescence. I found by the remarks of physicians who attended me that the story of having lost my way at a burial in the catacombs was believed, and I did not undecide them. Before I was able to leave the hospital restored to health, Garibaldi was master of Naples and King Francis a fugitive. The horrible sufferings I had experienced had blanched my hair to its present color,and had so aged my features that I had difficulty in establishing my identity to my relatives who supposed I had been secretly assassinated by the King's orders. I served with Garibaldi for the remainder of his campaign in Italy, and ten years later I rejoined the liberator when he took the field in the Franco Prussian war. Eight years ago I emigrated with my wife to America. His portrait (pointing to the picture of King Francis), I keep to remind me of my hatred. Every morning I stab it to the heart. The rats I catch in this house, or my neighbors bring them to me, I starve them to death like that one you see there. Then I skin them and place their hides on the walls as you see. That is my story, Signor." Treatment of Fruit Trees. It often happens that fruit trees which for some years have been prolific bearers suddenly fail to return their accustomed yield, and what fruit they do bear is small and of inferior quality. This is often attributed to the depredations of insects, when the real cause of the difficulty is to be found in the lack of some element in the soil indispensable to the production of fruit. In most cases this needed element will be found to be photogenic of life and thereby appear in woman in existence.

We halted and the bandage was removed from my eyes, and I found myself in a damp brick cellar with an arched roof, evidently the foundation vault of a building. In one corner was a deep niche, and a man was engaged with bricks and mortar building a wall which would close up the niche from view. My guards were an officer and six soldiers. 'Prisoner,' said the officer, 'his Majesty, being aware of your fondness for retirement, herewith presents you with a portion of the wall of one of the royal prisons, and has specially engaged this good mason to brick it up cosily for your occupation. Allow me to escort you to your property.' He then signed to the soldiers, who lifted me over the low layer of bricks, and behold! I was in possession of the King's gift! A loaf of bread and a bottle of wine were handed to me. I realized my position; I was to be bricked up in the wall and left to die of slow starvation. I did not fear death; but a death so horrible appalled me. I begged the soldiers to shoot me; they only jeered at my entreaties. Suddenly a peculiar look in the eyes of the mason, who was slowly building the wall which was to inclose me, attracted my attention, and he gave me one of the signs which denoted he belonged to the Carbonari. Hope began to flicker in my heart, but the mason made no further sign, and the wall rose higher and higher, to my waist, to my chin, to my eyes. I watched every movement of the mason with feverish attention. At last only three more bricks remained to complete my sepulcher. In laying one of them the mason, as if by accident, dropped a trowel full of mortar inside the niche. I stooped; in the mortar was a clasped knife. 'At least I can kill myself,' I murmured, as I pressed the knife with gratitude. The last brick was put in its place—I was buried in the wall. My niche was large enough to lie down in, so I ate some of my bread, drank half of the bottle of wine and fell into a troubled sleep. When I awoke I listened in the darkness, and heard the step of the soldier pacing up and down in the vanit outside. I began to feel in my pockets and found a box of matches. I lit one and inspected my grave. The back was also bricks. Where did it lead? I placed my ear to the wall and listened. I fancied I heard a scampering sound like rats. 'If there be rats,' I thought, 'there must be space somewhere,' Treatment of Fruit Trees. It often happens that fruit trees which for some years have been prolific bearers suddenly fail to return their accustomed yield, and what fruit they do bear is small and of inferior quality. This is often attributed to the depredations of insects, when the real cause of the difficulty is to be found in the lack of some element in the soil indispensable to the production of fruit. In most cases this needed element will be found to be phosphate of lime, and by supplying this, the tree may be restored to its former vigor and fruitfulness. A good method is to loosen the earth around the roots just before the spring rains and apply a liberal coating of wood ashes which contains a large percentage of potash and considerable phosphate of lime; cover with a light coating of earth or stable manure to prevent it from being blown away, and await the coming of the rain. The effect will be immediate and astonishing: the rain upon the ashes produces a lye of just the strength needed for the proper sustenance of the tree; the greedy roots absorb the vivifying essence and the effect is manifested in renewed vigor and abundant fruit yield. If wood-ashes cannot be obtained, a solution of potash is the next best substitute. When the bark of fruit trees becomes rough and scaly, wash them with a strong solution of potash laid on with a common whitewash brush, and a few applications will make them as smooth as the bark of a sapling pine and destroy the germs of all insects that may have found lodgment there. Stable manure thrown around the roots of the tree, not only enriches the soil but prevents the depredations of that destructive pest the gopher; they will not work in soil where the manure is used. The orchardist should be careful to collect and preserve all the wood ashes he can obtain. We know of nothing so beneficial to the fruit-tree, and it may be used freely without danger if distributed over the surface of the ground, but it should not be piled around the trunk of the tree. Ammen's Cough Syrup cures coughs, colds, bronchitis and consumption. A Dakota paper gives the following description of the approach of the recent blizzard: 'Until about 4½ P.M. the day was sunny, pleasant, and with a temperature as mild as spring. The streets were filled with people, and ladies were promenading in the enjoyment of the etherial mildness. Suddenly, and without the slightest warning, a solid white wall of frost and snow appeared in the northwest. It seemed as though the bluffs in that direction had suddenly shot upward to a height of 1,000 feet so solid and compact did this icy wall appear. In a second of time the storm burst with appalling fury, and the windows, which had by the mildness of the weather become clear of frost, were heavily coated with clinging snow on the outside and heavy frosted particles on the inside. The air grew terribly cold, and was darkened by flying frost and snow. The high walls of the hotel directly opposite were not to be seen. All objects were hidden by the flying and rapidly driven snow. People on the streets sought shelter, and the stores were temporarily used for protection from the fierceness of the howling blast. Darker grew the atmosphere, to such an extent that business in the office was stopped until lights were procured." The latest development of fashion in France concerns the announcements of births invariably sent out by French parents. For a boy they are pale blue, for a girl delicate pink; in the left-hand corner is the father's coat of arms or monogram, and underneath the sign of the zodiac which was paramount when the babe first saw the light. Among the curiosities of beggary in Paris is an old man who plies his trade on horseback, because his legs are paralyzed. A woman appears every day in the Rue Montmartre pushing a neat little baby carriage containing a very pretty and well-dressed baby. The mother has a sweet voice, and realizes quite a sum by singing.

Feed to be Served to Houses Like Gas or Water. [Philadelphia Item] At the next session of the Legislature an application will be made for a charter for the Keystone Family Kitchen and Heat Dispensing Company, with a capital of $1,000,-000. The purpose of this company is to revolutionize housekeeping by furnishing meals and heat in about the same manner as houses are now furnished with gas and water. It is proposed to divide the city into numerous districts, and in each district to erect a mammoth kitchen, where meals from the simplest to the most elaborate will be ready for service from six o'clock in the morning until ten in the evening. Pipes will be laid from the kitchen to the houses receiving service, and meals will be dispatched through them by means of compressed air. By the purchase of provisions at wholesale the incorporators expect to be able to furnish families with meals at a cost much less than they could prepare them in their homes. Immense boilers will be erected at the central kitchens and steam for heating houses will be furnished at most moderate rates. "What will be some of the advantages?" asked the reporter. Primarily, its convenience. For instance: The pipes will be laid under ground and will enter the houses served on the line with the gas-pipes. Connected with each service pipe will be a speaking tube. We will begin in the morning. The family will rise, say at 7 o'clock. They seat themselves at the table Odd Happenings.

Immense boilers will be erected at the central kitchens and steam for heating houses will be furnished at most moderate rates. "What will be some of the advantages?" asked the reporter. "Primarily, its convenience. For instance: The pipes will be laid under ground and will enter the houses served on the line with the gas-pipes. Connected with each service pipe will be a speaking tube. We will begin in the morning. The family will rise, say at 7 o'clock. They seat themselves at the table already spread for the breakfast. The meal desired is determined on and ordered the night before through the speaking-tube. In a minute after the order is given the morning that the family is awaiting breakfast, so perfect will be our service, the choice steaks, fish, omelet, potatoes, coffee, rolls, or whatever has been ordered, will be on the table, and prepared in such a manner that the most fastidious could not find fault with them." "Your service, I presume, will be for the better class of people only?" queried the reporter. "By no means," answered the gentleman. "On the contrary, our service will be such as to include the most humble households, as well as those of the wealthy. To the poor it will be found a blessing. It will relieve the wife from many cares, and will add years to her life. By preparing her own meals the wife is forced to arise about five o'clock in the morning. Half the time the fire is very low, or else out, and then comes the worry to make it burn, and all is hurry and bustle to get the meal on the table for the husband, who must be at his work at 7 o'clock. Half the time the meal is improperly cooked, and bolted down in a manner that cannot fail to result in bad temper and bad health. With our service the wife would be given an additional hour of slumber, and a good-cooked breakfast would await the family." "How do you propose," to regulate the prices?

"Here you have," said the gentleman, "from the humblest to the most pretentious meal, and while each class calls for service for four persons there will be really enough for five. The whole scheme may look chimerical," said the gentleman, "but you can rest assured that as soon as the work can be finished the company will be in operation." Fermentation of Grape Juice. This fermentation is exclusively due (according to M. Pasteur) to the presence of cells of yeast on the surface of the grapes whither the air has brought them. If these cells be suppressed, fermentation should be thereby rendered impossible. Now, in the Jura, it is found that the grapes do not bear any traces of these cells until the end of July. Hence if they are then protected from the dust of the air, it should be possible to bring them to ripeness without the juice being afterwards able to ferment. On this supposition M. Pasteur placed grapes in inclosures where all access of atmospheric dust was vigorously prevented. More simply, he enveloped grapes in wadding, raised previously to a temperature of 100° C. He showed them in the French Academy grapes ripened under these conditions, and he affirmed that one might crush them and keep them any length of time at the suitable temperature without the least fermentation taking place. Resolution by the miners of Alene, Dakota: "Not a Chinaman shall ever enter the diggings unless he climbs a tree, with one end of a lariat over a limb." An eastern woman was so overjoyed at the gift of a sealskin sacque that she laughed herself to death. Alas how many poor men will read this item and experiment on their wives with the price of a sealskin sacque, only to meet with cold, cruel disappointment. An English paper says Mr. Gladstone is such an expert woodsman that he can fell a tree with his eyes shut. Ha ha! George Washington cut down an apple tree with his hat shut. Viva la republic! A police lieutenant in Philadelphia is named Bosh. He must be a very excellent and prominent officer, as we often hear his name mentioned in connection with the police of that city. A young wife but recently married is rapidly learning the art of cooking. She has already learned that it is not safe to use the naked hand in feeling if the griddle is hot enough to bake cakes. Austin, Nev., is a wild western town, but boys under sixteen years of age are not allowed on the streets after eight o'clock in the evening. This keeps the young innocents out of the way of stray bullets. A Bowery museum has among its wonders a glass half filled with whisky, labeled, "Refused by General Grant in 1878." It is a real curiosity. We think it unnecessary to go to a doctor and pay him to prescribe for a common cold. At the same time it is of the utmost importance to pay attention to it and get relief—or evil consequences may follow. We use Ammen's Cough Syrup. It has never failed yet to do all that is claimed for it, and we take pleasure in recommending it to our readers. If you have not tried this medicine, go to your druggist and ask to see a large bottle and read the label.
