Overtaken and Shot While Carrying Off a Young Wommi. A Rome cable says : A desipateh from Eassarri says that Crisculazzi, the notorious bandit, was killed by five militiamen. For years he has been the chieftain of the wont liand of highwaymen and murderera in northern Sardinia, He and his followers had headquarters in the forest recesses near Aggins and Ternplio. No fewer than ten mturders, twenty-nine highway robberies, and some forty-seven burglariee have been a traced to their instrumentality within the last two years. Formerly Circulazzi was wen occasionally in the streets of Saesarra, where he would appear suddenly of an even- ing, terrify a few reputable citizens, mal- treat a policeman, and then drop out of sight befote the police could gather .a sufficient =unbar of men to capture him. liecently he carried off a handsome young - 1 from the outskirts of Sassarri. He was hotly pursued, but could have escaped had he given her up. His followers abandoned bine one by one as they began to realize that his fate was sealed unless he would free himself from the girl. When hard premed, about ten miles from Aggins, he placed her in a cave and shot at his pursuers from the bush outside. He wounded two men before berwae killed. The girl was taken back to Basearri.

VICTORY CHANGED TO DEFEAT. The Dervishes Almost Annihilated an Egyptian Contingent. A London cable says: The reports re- ceived here from Cairo to the effect that a body of Egyptian cavalry had recently defeated a force of dervishes near Ambigol are generally discredited at the army club. Officers who are thoroughly convereant with the oonditien of affairs in the Soudan do not hesitate to declare that the de- spatches in regard to the battle concealed the truth. Some of the offieers who have taken part in Soudan campaigns say they believe that inatead of the Egyptian troops winning a victory they were completely annihilated by the dervishes. The Egyptian forces consisted of fifty men and two officers. Further news from Cairo is anxiously awaited. Details of the recent fighting between dervishes and the Egyptian troops near Ambigol have just been received at Cairo. The Egyptian eamelry numbered 120, in- cluding a body of Shaggiyen irregulars. The dervishes were surprised by the camelry at daylight and retreated to the hills, keeping up an incessant firing. • A squad of camelry which followed them soon found itaelf cut offfrom the main body by ambushed dervish cavalry, supported by apearmen. A hand to hand fight ensued, in which the Egyp- tians made a gallant defence, but unsuccess- fully, as they were greatly outnumbered. A similar fate befel another detachment of camelry that followed the dervishes. The fighting continued until Capt. Paine and a native officer fell. The Egyptians then re- treated. Besides the losses mentioned 28 of the camelry and 8 Shaggiyens were killed and 15 wounded. A Scotch Tenor. • Durward Lely, the tenor who is to accom- pany tho Patti company through this eoun• try, and is likely to be heard here in English opera before beginning that et:gager/rent:, says the New York Times, is regerded as, one of the foremost professional vocalists of the British operatic stage or concert plat- form. He is a native of Blairgowrie, Scot- land, where he is better known lay his real tante, jetties Durward Lyall, than by his . more euplieno) stage appellation. For sereerril yeare he was employed as a cleib jt the law c,ilice of Anderson & Chapman in his native village, bid) he soon developed marked vocal abilitiee, and his time Was epent in the , study of mueic to the neglect' of legal affairs. • He took part in several local concerts and created' such an impresaion that one of the local gentry, Patrick Allan 'Eraser, sent him to Italy to get the beuefit of tuition ia the best echools. The young vocalist studied nlier Larnperti for three years, and their settled in London and began the usual hatfie of allnew singere for • recognition. This quickly came, and he soon found him- self very popular, with all classes of coneerte goers. In Italian and English opera Mr, Lsl7 hes been as sucoeseful as on the eoncert platform, but it is said by thoee who are moat intimate with him that his own pre, fereneea are for ballad singing.

A PRIEST FIERO UPON. • A Berlin cable .says: Thie has been a day ot been anxiety in the Sear diserict, wbere striking mieeln and their Anarehist leaders have erode a desperate attempt th eave their cause by lipreading terrov aud, threatening °Pee ooathti n Pattlagea this morning a mob of 200 etries ridded the houses of the men Who had refueed to join therm dragged oat and beat several and mouthed the window. In Forbade a mob, starting out with a similar purpose, was etopped for a moment loy a priest, who begged the men to reasouable, and not to make inno. cent. workingmen suffer for trying to support: their families. The doctrines of anarchy which they were trybag to realize were disgraceful to Germans and Chrtstiane. A pistol was fired at the priest as he spoke agamet anarchism, and then a shower ef stones fell around bins. The mob made tie rush for him, but he saved himself by run- ning away. The mob broke a. few windows, heat two miners who refused to stop work and disperaeda 'At the pit mouths the men still working and mine officialhave been in constant danger of being killed. Many of the strikers were armed with revolver's and a few with rifle, and they have been firing recklessly in the neighborhood of the pits. A meeting of 3,000 strikers was held to- day near Saarlouis, and four leaders were elected to act in the rodraof the two already arrested. Five men and three women deliv- ered violent harangues. They ,dernanded higher wages and ehorter shifts. The Gov- ernnuent, they said, was trying to frighten the strikers into submission, but if the men would'hold out they would be able to rally the German masses to their aid, inaugurate a general strike of German workmen and paralyze German industry. The men became intensely excited during these speeches and frequently cheered the epeakers. After the meeting brokeupthemenmarched offin three bodies, firing revolvers, singing the Marseil- laise and shooting at all respectably dressed men in sight. Other meetings in the district were hardly less uproarious. All speakers announced withspecial virulence the clergy, who have incurred the hatred of anarchists by counselling moderation.. At Ensdorf the strikers have requested the mayor to propose a compromise for them to the mine officials. Reports from Saarlonis tonight are to the effeot that despite the bombast of the lead. ere and the apparent responsiveness of the men, the etrike is weakening. The striking miners are suffering keenly front the severity of the weather, and the expected contribu- does from England, France and Belgium havenot come in. As the men were unpre- pared for the strike they must either return to work soon or starve. • A Berlin cable says: Despatches from Saar-Lonis this afternoon show that the whole Saar district is in a condition of kigh. excitement. Many of the men who refused to join the strike have armed themselves with revolvers in order that they may pro- tect themselves against attack while on their way to and from work. Last night three men were caught by strikers leaving the pit's mouth near Puttinger and were terribly maltreated. One was dragged along the road until he was unconseioue, and was then thrown into a thorn hedge The other two were half , stripped and were beaten with a heavy rope. The agitation is no longer under the guidance of Anarchist emissaries from Berlin iid Frankfort. .It is under the control, of the women, who are preaching the gospel of hatred toward the Government and capital- ists. These women have long been re- garded by the Social Democrats in Berlin as most desirable conveite, and no pains have been spared by the social democracy to inoculate them with the moat revolu. denary doctrine. The wisdom of this course from the Socialastic point of view is now evident. No fewer than 500 mine& wives are walking through the coal districts to talk with the strikera in their homes, or to address them at their meetings. All these female orators and wire -pullers are of the worst type of fire-eatera. They exhort the men to neither ask nor give quarter, and to burn, steal and murder rather, than submit to a reduction ot wages or o an in- crease of tho working time. No meeting in the Saar basin is held now without one of these Viragos to stir the bad blood of the men. In a little village on the outskirts of Saar Louis one of these converts to anarchy was arrested in the act of placirg a gun- poWdembomb upon the window, sill of a blackleg's hut When questioned at the police station in Saar Louie as to her motive, the said : "Merely to kill those who wiil not help us." 'When lecked up she cried out: " Even the little children will avenge me, for we have taught them how to do it." The Government has decided to cute': temporizing and will now fake steps to suppress the disorder in the mining district. No mercy will be shown to the leaders; although for the sake of his own name as a reformer, the Emperor has ordered! that the strikers who merely follow be treated leniently. The opinion is general here that matters havegone so far that the strikers can be brought to their senses only by a severe conflict, involving bloodshed and death. Keep Tour Month Shut. A noted specialist connected with ere o the largest Engliah hospitals devoted to.tIte treatment of throat diseases renews atten- tiori to the risks attendant upon the practice of breathing through the mouth. That the natural method of respiration is through the nasal organs is a fact which manypeople etuclionsly ignore, ahd this to their great detriment, as Dr. Smith conclusively show.. To breathe through the mouth (which, durieg sleep, is the cause of snoring) is to pave the way for the entrance of an almost endleee series of ills, and anyone who has contraated the bad habit should endeavor to follow the healthier and more natural method. Tide physielan especially wants parente to see that their little ogee do not aegnith the habit of mouth breathing.

Some five -arid -twenty dresses of Varioue kinds are included in the trousseau, and notable among these is one for travelliug or vvalking, of beaver -colored Sootch tweed. The body has a broad waist -belt of passe- menterie, of Wili011 a wide band in a design suggesting a ribbon drawn through large rings passes round the skirb also. The ground of this is made of the fineet sheets of cut cork, and the pattern upon it is worked iu fine pearl silk cord,' showing here and there a glimpse of pink as well. This com- bination of soft tones produces a subtly pleasing effect, and the idea, which is the very latest front Paris, is expected te be a feature of the spring fashions. Dark helio- trope and green steipes, as narrow as con- ceivable, is the color combination of a qniet visiting them Green velvet fronce harden the skirt, and the body reveals a full vest of the same, with hill high sleeves to cor- respond. Vieux rose is one of Princess Marie's favorite colori3, and. one of her dresses is of amoth cloth in this shade. • A beautiful dresa for visiting is in old blue orepon de soie. Round the skirt is a very broad band of dead gold ribbon, upon vvhich an Oriental design in many tones is worked, but all is aoftened bown by the thick bordering of soft brown chenille— thick. and soft as sealskin—above and below.. A short bodice and sleeves of shaded velvet, across which the least glimmer of pink hes been shot, accompanies this, and the gold embroidery is repeated on it squarely over the bust. Yet one more day dress claims noticie. It is „Ana- dian in general style, and approximating to beaver in tone, mettle of the new material to he known as " Zoibelline." This is a delightfully soft and light fabric with a velvety bloom upon its surface 'that dis- tinguishes it from the best of serges or cloths. TOR SEATING AND SLEIGHING. A lovely costume in modified 1830 style has been specially devised for skating. It is of Z hibelline," in brown and beigediagonal lines, and the skirt has bands of velvet mort d'or and mink. placed alternatelyIround it. The jacket is of the Recamier shape, in smooth cloths of a light brown with a very deep cape of velvet matching that used upon the ,eiress, embroidered in gold and bronze. A 'band of mink passes down the front and is used /deo for the narrow cuffs with which the sleeves are finished off. To complete this dress a pretty little toque hat and muff, all an suite, are to be included. The cloak for sleighing is a truly luxurionawrap, and is made of Zhibelline brocheinahades of blue, gray and beige. It is lined through- out with rioheet beaver, and has a high col- lar of the same fur. For this also a toque and muff to math will be provided. EVENING DRESSES. „111 t4. Not -less charming and tasteful are the evening dresses, among the moat strikieg of which is the " Rainbow " silks, which have juet appeered in Paris. The tints are vert d'ema fading into a delicate pink. Round the sweeping train is a quaint little pattern of flowers and creecente, ,boreoweel from authentic E'mpire sources in paillettee of go'd and silver, andbeyond this folds of the pale green velvet appear. The seams of the skirt are outlined in the same metallic em- broidery, and the low body has a deep and sharply pointed berthe, worked to corre- spond. Soft twists of green velvet are placed above this in a manner that will be ex- tremely hemming, and the full sleeves are also of velvet. Another' very lovely dress is of scum pink satin ' glace, with a dainty broche pattern on it of small flowers in a darker shade and pale green leaves.' This reveals .glimpses in the eleirt of misonvelvet, combining the pink and green, but the fea- ture of the dress is its berthe of priceless old Point d'Aleneon lace. This is one of the moat perfectexamples of the kind in existenee, and comes front the Dud -rears of Edinburgh's own rich collection of lace as a gift to her daughter. Another fascinating dress is of pale butter yellow crepe de chino with small spots. This has a folded sash of black velvet, and a pretty berth° of pale yellow mousselin de soie, dotted with minute rings of glistening jet, while a thick bordering of black ostrich feather trimming surrounds the demi- trained Skirt, One of themost perfect of all, however, is a perfect Louis Quinze dinner dress of white eaten to which a delicious pearly shimmer has been imparted by the expedient of lining it throwediont with riii3e pink silk. The body is out square , juist shovvieg an edging of pure sky-blue 'velvet, of which there is also a folded Mash, The puffed sleeves are embroidered in raised rosebuds, and the white silk stockinge, with openwork ftonts, are similarly worked to matph. • Turgureee blue is used with ex- cellent effect for the yoke under aleevera skirt of a raeclimval dress in old rose peau de sold n'Oenenn CLOAKS, For Armful braVelling wear is a full wrap of reversible Zhibellice, deep heliotrope on the other side checked inside in bold squeres of black, white and pink, this beieg used alto effectively.to form ,a full hill over the abouldere.

" Vifirelight" writes as follows in the Kentucky Live Stock Record: The old method governing harness con- tests should have been abandoned long ago. It is out of date. Progress is the motto. We - are nothing if not progressive. We have abandoned the old-style sulky, the old-style track and the olchtirne harness. Why adhere any ' longer to the old in- terminable heat system? Heat racing was once all the go on running tracks, but nobody is now clamoring for its revival. In these days race tracks made no money; to -day the track that does not come out ahead at the close of the season is the ex- oeption. The trotting tracks of the country have a hard atruggle to make both ends meet. The cause is plain. The day for long drawn out racing has gone by, and the trotting associations are behind in the oaward march. The Kennel, New York Herold: The three St. Ber nerds purchased by Colonel Jacob Ruppert front Mr. Booth, of Hull, England, have arrived, looking fairly well considering their rough paesage.
