Two or three murders every night, nor for revenge or in futherance of , robbery, but merely to gratify a morbid desire to take . life.

The barber on. our dampfer no good. Shy on conversation, but. great on arithmetic. Charged me two ' francs for a shave, and when I suggested that he, was rather high, he said he was com pelled to ask one franc and thirty centimes for the extract of vanilla he had put on my hair. Told him. I didrnot want any extract of vanilla, but he said there was no way of get ting it back into the bottle. Besides, he had the money, so we compromised by,' permitting him to keep it. Said he longed to go to America. I told him there would probably be an opening in America for anyone so energetic and muscular, .and I prom ised to give him a letter to Armour & C6.i of Chicago.

Cabmen seem downcast Municipality recently forbade any extra charge for cab service on a 'fiesta,' or holiday. In Italy 300 days out of every 35 can be rung In under the head of 'fiestas.' Every American who lapded In Na ples found himself right in the midst of a 'fiesta' and had to pay two fares, or as much as thirty cents la gold, to ride around in - one of the open hacks. Thirty cents would seem a reasonable charge, but not after you have seen the hack. The smaller the horse in Naples the heavier the har ness. Evidently a desire to have about the same total weight in each case. "Emigrants. Alongside of our ship lay a German steamer about to sail for America. The tender made trips to and from the dock, and every time she came out she was filled to the last Inch waa Italian emigrants. We saw hundreds of them disappear Into the ship, so many it seemed they must have been packed in below by hydraulio pressure, otherwise there wouldn't have been room for them. All headed tor tho land of the free to build railroads. Englishman wanted to know why there was such heavy emigrant: traffic at this par ticular season.
