t«tween neigh boring tribes generally arising about witter and the thefts of cattle the unwritten law of the desert forbid any settlements around the wells which are common to all but two parties

and it may last for years each murder by one side demanding retalia tion by the other hence it is that even when peace prevails in the desert if two parties meet both halt and send out a man or two to reconnoiter and ascertain if there is blood between them when a caravan arrives unexpectedly in the aeighborhood of a bedouin camp the first impulse of the natives is to vanish instantly especially if

down to the shoulders they plas ter their heads with suet and camel's tallow or any other grease they can procure letting it trickle down upon their naked breasts and shoulders the tribes are distinguished also by the form and position of gashes cut in the cheeks in infancy the beggaras who inhabit southern kordofan near the nile are very warlike and when be yond the reach of egyptian garrisons are addicted to brigandage they pos sess great nurnders of splendid oxen mounted upon which both men and women riding alike and all armed witli four or five lances com in hundreds to the

american statesmen were delivering addresses in behalf of the restoration of the pope to the place he had so long abused in the quirinal win cullen bryant made ihi.s slrteraent : an american lady an acquaint ance of mine a resident in rome for several years was summoned one mor ning to appear before the police of that city she went accompanied by the american consul you are charg ed said the police magistrate with having hent money to florence to be employed in founding a protestant orphan asylum what do yon say 3 i ditl send money for that purpose was the lady's answer 1 did not ask for

magistrate see that yon never repeat tiie offence such was the government which to the great joy of the roman people and the satisfaction of the friends of liberty everywhere has been over thrown was it worthy — i put this question to this assembly — was such a government worthy to subsist even for a:i hour that lady you and 1 know very weli her name was mi's emily bliss gould jt was in her hou.se corner of the piazza di spagna and the via babuino that at her husband's request the writer of this preached what he believes to have been the first protestant sermon in rome after the expulsion of the pope and his incar ceration in the vatican prison the ' finest palace i:i europe mrs gould told me the whole story of that strange persecution the pope's policeman presented to her a paper to sign and thus give a written pledge that she would in future abstain from the atro cious crime of sending contributions to the orphans of florence and she was told that she would be kept in durance until she had signed the pledge but the pope found that he had not now to deal with one of those half-and-half americans who are not ashamed to put the lip to the toe of his holiness but with a true woman she replied to the threat oi detention von may get my apartments ready i shall spend the rest of my days here rather than sign any such pa per the policemen had found then match aud they at last allowed her to go unpledged mr vv l stillman of plainfield x j united states consul at rome from ls(j"j to 1865 on his return told the world through the public prints that the government of the pope was the most atrocious in existence ex cept that of louis napoleon the brother of one of mv most in timate friends was arrested iu his bed at night and carried off by the offi cers of the holy ofiice the inquisi tion and never heard of again until years after when a released prisoner cametotell the survivor that his broth er had died in prison with him and was buried in the earth of the dun geon the system of terrorism was such that liberal romans dared meet only in public and never perm it ted a stran ger to approach them iu conversation 1 never dared to enter the house of a roman friend for fear of bringirg on him a domiciliary visit that koine i unchanged and un changeable is shown by the fact thai while monsignor capel is saying soft things in the cars of the american people rome is killing american mi.-sionaiies in mexico at almolova a town some forty miles southeast ol the city of mexico the blood is hard ly dry of two martyrs slain by li m a 1 catholic violence the people were
