In that goodly city a few weeks ago they hung a Negro murderer named Jefferson, one of most heartless, desperate brutes that ever paid the penalty of his crimes upon the gallows. He had been a terror from his boyhood, a thief and a drunkard; as far as could be learned he had not a solitary re deeming feature in his character. He mur dered two innocent people and nearly killed two more, maiming them so that one will be terribly disfigured for life and the other, his own brother, will carry the marks of his-injury to his grave. No sooner was his awful crime made public than forthwith an army of philanthrophic cranks became interested in Mr. Jefferson. Ladies called upon him, ministers of all denomi nations became fearful he might be lost and all appeared to be afraid that some body else might save him. Some kind hearted Sisters of Charity attempted to pray with and convert him, but the regular chaplain of the jail seemed to think that he might just as well die in his sins as have anything to do with the papists. Linda Gilbert, who is known as the prisoner's friend, a sort of crank in her way, who be lieves if you find a man robbing your house, instead of shooting or arresting him, you should give him a ten dollar bill --she took up Jefferson's case. Linda has money, is a true philanthropist; she does not fool away her loose change on innocent or unfortunate people-not she; but let some notorious scoundrel be guilty of some terrible crime,~the worse it is the more she glories in her protege,-and until the gallows claims him or State prison gets him the gentle Linda will furnish him with every good thing that heart of man could wish for. Miss Gilbert and many others became interested in Jefferson; they fought justice up to the very last moment, but at last every legal resourse had been exhausted and Mr. Jefferson departed for the happy hunting grounds, He magnanimously for gave all of his enemies, gave Miss Gilbert his skeleton, and died certain that the Golden Gates were opened and ready to receive him. Some weeks have passed since then and last Sunday a respectable colored clergyman denounced the execu tion of Jefferson as a judicial murder. The colored people seem to think that there is a strong prejndice against their race, and from their efforts to get their criminals off, seem to think that they are entitled to sojme special exemption from punishment. It is about time that this mawkish sympathy for murderers, thieves and vagabonds gen erally; wsa stamped out, and that more was done by these' would-be-philanthro pists for suffering wretches who never had the fortune to knock down a traveler with a sand bag or have seen the inside of a State prison. There is too much gush over notorious criminals and too little interest in those who are not. All the sensible men are not dead yet. Across the river lives a geitleman by the name of Jones, and Jones had a young and beautiful wife, Who was aeveral years the junior of Jones. Near Jones lived one Syl vester Grey, Who rejoiced in a most amiae ble and excellent wife and three very beau tiful children, but it is evident now that Mr. Sylvester forgot that he was married and for matter of that so did Mrs. Jones, but Jones did not. If Mt Jones forgot the respect and fidelity tib was due to Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones had a most lively sense of what was due to himself, and he made up his mind that it would be a remarkbly cold day when he, the aforesa Jones, got left. On Sunday last Mrs. JofQs made up her mind that she would lev with Mr. Syl vester Grey and Mr. Sylvester Grey made up his mind that he would fly with Mrs. Jones. Everyking wsa ready, the pair stood in the depot ready to fly; the conduc tor had halloed "all aboard" and they were just in the act of stepping on the train when who should suddenly appear on the scene but Jones-the injured Jones. "Fly and save yourself, darling," said Mrs. Jones, and darling flew and left Mrs. Jones to take care of herself. Did Jones tear his hair, upbraid his wife and:try and commit suicide by stabbing himself with a bar of soap? Not a bit of it, and right here is where Jones showed his good horse sense. He never said a word to Mrs. Jones, but he took hold of her and began to strip her of her jewelry. He lightened her of her watch and chain, he took off her. bangles, a nice pair.of $75 braelets he slipped in his coat tail pocket, a necklace made of gold dollars was the next thing that come to hand, fi. nally he went for her diamond earrings; this was the last ounce ozr the back of the dromedary, and Mrs. Jonses fought like a tiger, but it was no use. ; Jones evidently meant business, and as h had the law on his side resistance was useless, so rather than part with her ears -Mrs. Jigs let the rings go. Jones evidently ered that he had all that was valuab rs. Jones. They were lo~$ ouveni h bad paid for inhard cash in brighter and happier days, and he had no idea t;that Mr. Sylvet ter Grey should carry off all that valuable plunder with the other movable property. There was no word of reproach, no threats. Jones turned on his heel and went quietly back to his work just aessif nothing had happened, leaving Mrs. Jones to go to Jer icho or any other foreign capital which she found most congenial to her health. It may not be fine writing according to the Concord or Chautauqua standards, but. I say, Bully fot Jones. I admire Jones. He is my standard of the esthetic man of the future. He has shown himself a man of taste and feeling--taste in the articles he selected from Mrs. Jones' adornments and feeling in the manner in Wihich he went after them. Again Ias yfor Jones. for a woman of that kind was not worth fighting for. We have the promise of another Lunatic Asylum scandal. Mrs. Wylie, the million aire widow of Tarrytown, who disappeared so suddenly two years ago, it appears has been incarcerated in a Private Asylum by her loving relatives all that time. She had an income of $25,000 a year, and her rela tions wanted to spend it for her. They had declared her a drunkard-lher servants were suborned to do it. They then shipped her off to a private lunatic asylum and paid one hundred dollars per week to have her kept there. Of course the doctor who kept this lunatic paradise was convinced that she was mad as a March hare so long as he got a hundred dollars a week for keeping her. This is the same worthy that kept Prouse Cooper in confinement several years, who is as sane as any man in New York. Mrs. Wylie's relatives got hold of all her prop erty and made d20,000 a year by keeping her in prison. The affair will be before the courts in a week, and I hope it may lead to a thorough investigation of these private asylum horrors and stamp them out for ever. W. J. Hutchinson, the broker who tried to swindle John R. Duff, and got kicked out of the Stock Exchange for his rascali ty, losing his $40,000 seat and $40,000 life insurance, came to grief this week. He had a long career of success and was sup posed to be worth about four millions of dollars. The break began when he was ex pelled from the Stock Exchange, and from that time lie has steadily" gone down hill, It was discovered that he was one of the borrowers who helped the Wall Street Bank to ruin. It is said that he paid nearjy $200,000 to save his falling credit, but it was all in vain; on Monday he went by the board and is one of the financial wrecks along Wall Street beach. People are rushing back to town; theeool weather has made the city delighful. Our patriots are all hard at work trying to save the country. This is the proper time for foreign tourists to visit the United States, for they now have an admirable opportunity to learn just exactly what we think of ourselves. Of course, it must be a little confusing to an Englishman, a Ger man, or a Frenchman, to know why wQ select the greatest rascals for the highest offices in the land and why we do not select some of the best citizens instead of some of the worst. It is not an eifying spectacle or onethatcan bring gratification to decent men to see a distinguished citizen of blame less life nominated for the highest office in the people's gift, and then assassinate him with batteries of mud and filth. It is not a pleasant exhibition that we are making of ourselves. It is humniliating from any standpoint, and the sooner it is ended the better. It is the most active campaign in New York we have seen since 1840. Stocks are getting a lift and oil is kiting. Yours truly, BROADBRIM.

IN FOREIGN LANDS. Naples and its Surrounadnlap-Asenmt 0 Mt. Vesuvius-Excavations at Pompe-tt A Visit to Florence. From our own Corrsspondent. "See Naples and die, "'s an old Italian saying, but the modern version. "See Naples before you die," is far more ac ceptable to the ordinary traveler. Leaving Rome by rail wa pase througth the walls on the southeast side of the city, near the Porta Maggiore, and fee miles as we cross the campagna or vast plain which surrounds the city, the road runs near the ruined arches of two of the most famous of the ancient aqueducts. The- country through which we pass is much mOih fertile than that north of Rome and th-vegeta tion as we go southward appears-almost tropical in its luxuriance. Many wretched little villages of the present day bearnaems well known to history, while other import ant towns have entirely disappeared. Capua, 185 miles south of Rome, once a city of 800,000 inhabitants, where the victorious Hannibal found in the luxury of an Italian city a more dangerous foe than the Roman legions, and where the insurrection of the gladiators under Sapartacus first broke out, is now a place of butlittle importance. Nearly thirty miles farther south we reach Naples, matchless for location, unrivaled for the beauty of its surroundings, the pride of Italy and its commercial metrop. olis. The city has a population of about a a half a million and is located on thenorth ern shore of the lovely bay of Naples, slop. ing down to the sea on the amphitheatre of the hills. The enervating influences o0 this eternal summer land, as well as the degeneracy of the modern Italian are very evident in the inhabitants of Naples. No city of all Italy has a more lovely climate, or a happier, poorer, lazier, dirtier popula tion. The impudence of the beggars who exhibit to passers by the physical ills which constitute their stock in trade, isgly equaled by the contented indifference with which all classes seese to regard both the present and future. All kinds of work are carried on in the streets, shoemakers, car penters, barbers and others often having their entire outfit on the sidewalk, Whil the women also bring out their washing and ironing, their sewing and knitting into the public highway. )Iapy localitlcimneas Naples were immortalized by Virgil inhi 9neid and the tombof thegrestpoetbhim self is pointed out only a few miles from the city. Vesuvius, which lifts its Ire and -&e crowned summit 4000 eet above t*I -el of the sea, is southeast bf Naples and was reached by as by tramway toResins, which is built above the antient bariesdtilage of Herculaneum, and from thqee ion fd*t to the ,summit. For *s al mile .wayz lies among the'i l luwer slopes of the mountain, but these are soon passed and we reach the lava flow of 1872 over which the road winds for a long distance. It is a perfect picture of desola tion. The lava stream is nearly black and lies in great folds and ridges, formed by the semi-fluid mass pouring down the side of the mountain and stiffening as it cooled. The foot of the cone is reached without serious dfliculty, and from this point a cable railroad runs nearly to the summit; but having attempted to make the ascent of Vesuvius on foot we scorned all such modern innovations and toiled on. The cone which surmounts the mountain is about 11100 feet in height and is composed of loose scoria and ashes, with occasionally a ridge of lava. Its sides rise at an angle of about forty-five degrees and as the ashes slip back under one's feet at every step, the ascent is most fatiguing. It was as hard a bit of mountain climbing as we had ever attempted. From the summit a magnificent pano rama is spread out before us. The country for miles around dotted with little villages is seen, with Naples on the northwest and the beautiful bay in front, stretching far away to where, Calm Capri waits, Her sapphire gates Beguiling to her bright estates. We descend to the "old crater" and pick our way among the steaming, smoking fissures which open far down into the depths below. Masses of almost pure sulphur have been deposited all around and at times the sulphurous fumes are almost overpowering. There has been no lava overflow for some time and at the principal opening in the eastern part of the crater a cone perhaps fifty feet in height has been built up of the cinders, scoria, etc., which at intervals of perhaps a minute are thrown up from the opening and fall in showers around. We were soon satisfied withthe horrors of the place and the evident proximity to the infernal regions, and descending the mountain on the -southern side we made our way over vast beds of lava and on through vineyards and gardens to- Torre Annunziata and from thence to the ruins of Pompeii. In studying the rains of Rome and the other cities of ancient Italy we find that much has been lost during the wars and politicial disturbances of past centuries; but in Pompeii we find an ancient Roman city, embalmed as it were in ashes; thus preserving for eighteen hundred years not only the form of the buildings, but every feature of the home life of the Roman of the first century of the Christianera. About 75 acres, comprising nearly a third of the space enclosed within the walls, have been uncovered and the work of excavation is still being carried on, Nearly everything which can be mdved, even to the more im portant frescoes, is taken at once to the museum at Naples, consequently the bare walls and the deserted streets of this city of the dead, with a few monuments, fountains, etc., are all that remain. The principal entrance is through the ancient sea gate of the city; for although now far inland, Pompeii was formerly a seaport, The streets are regularly laid out, the principal ones being twenty-fowr feet and those of lesser importance only fourteen feet in width. They are paved with huge blocks of lava with deep ruts worn by the ia& .the street corners o p edestrias, nearly a foot sbove ' p lent. With but few exceptiots the hd e acre only bOe story high ant arse = %h=the same general plan, a solid wall *ia single entrance towards Mie 's'e a - idthe rooms ranged around an opest ýk." which was orna mented and dee.ratB with fountains, statues, lowers, tios ete., according to the fanc or wealth . the owner. Unlike Herculaneum. -Vas buried beneath a lava 1o* to i 4Ipt of nearly 10Ofeet, Pompeil was eoo iedowith ashes and scoria only to a depth orsi edt twenty feet, thus mAking the work t avaton much less laborious.

We return to bRes6 by the same road vrwhih we oing to Naples, and after a i sntji revisiting the oramn o aud a leer places of in terest, we took 1sfr Florence, a city of about 1 'ation located . Oarroute fl..Aorsble as the asyears before Christ, as wIel places of historical iter'T.z (rh city of te In an ex tensive ply.a lvasted hills provement on the Tiber, but till does possess any features which should justly give it the common appellation of "the lovely Arno." Florence has suffered in every age from military incursions; but during the fifteenth century it was the a-o. knowledged leader in the intellectual renais sance which followed the darkness of the middle ages. * Its galaxy of illustrious names, including Dante, Ht~eacci, Galileo, Giotto, Michael Angelo, Raphael, da Vinci Savonarolo and many othersisMnsrpassed in modern times and well entitles the qity to be known as the Italian ºthens. The Piazza della Signoria is the business as well as the historic centre of the city. Here Sa vonarola was burned and here stands the old capitol of the Republic. Adjoining this square is the Uffizi gallery founded by the Medici famtly and containing one of the largest and choicest art collections in the world. The hall known as the Tribune is located near the centre of the gallery andis spoken of by Hawthorne as " the richest room in all the world." It contain the Ve nus de Medici, the Dancing Faun, the Wrestlers andother mast.rpisasof ancient sculpture as well as some of the fnestworks of Rapheel, Titian, Corregio, Angelo and other great masters. Besides the pictures and statuary the gallery contains a valuable collection of gems an-well as many mosaics and others works of art. Among the mosaics is a table of wondrous beauty, which represents the labor of twenty-two artists for twenty-five years. On the op posite side of the Arno, but connected with the Uffizi gallery by along cvered passage, is the Pittl Palace, one of te fnest archi tectural structures of modern times and containing a collection of about 500 paint. ings, including Raphael's Madonna della Seggiola, Titian's Magdalen and many other choice gems of art. Among the churches of Florence the cathedral is the most interesting. It is 500 feet in length and the exterior ts coated with marble but the fagade has never been completed. Its interior is grand and im impressive but exceedingly bare and cold. The church of Santa Croce is spoken of as the West minster Abbey of Florence. Here are the tombs of many of Italy's famous sons, and memorial tablets arehere erected to many others whose remains are buried elsewhere. In the square in front stands a statue of Dant6, nineteen feet high, erected in 1861 on the 600th anniversary of his birth. The Medicean chapelin the rear of the church of San Lorenzo is with the excep tion of the Taj Mahal in India, probably the richest tomb in the world. It was erec ted in 1604 at a cost of over $4,000,000 as a receptacle for the Holy Sepulchre, but has never received its expected deposit. Its magnificence is beyoned description. In the sacristy adjoining are the tombs of the Medici, with statues by Michael Angelo which are the masterpieces of that great artist and fully equal to the noblest figures of the best period of Greek art. But the pile of manuscript before us reminds us again that we must not presume too far upon the patience of the readers of the CmiE and consequently we must leave many points of which, did space permit, should be glad to write, and pass on to "beautiful Venice, the Bride of the Sea." C. L. N, The Irish World is becoming famous for its cartoons. The last one represents u yawning chasm, spanned by the Demo cratic Free Trade plane k On the oe side is E.gland with her cheap industries. On the other is the United States, surrounded by a high fene, with the gate closed for Protection. Hal way across the track is Johnny Bull, staggerig under his load of cheap prints, hebeap wool, cheap fabri.s. cheap goods of every kind, and pauper labor. At the gate stands Uncle warning Johnny to go.back. The look despair and desperation on the face of Johnny Bull eanses as to pity him.
