Where Anarchists Are Bred

To say that the future of Italy ii dark) would, perhaps, be too strong ft statement; but that it is invested with' an uncertainty, and that its out lock is dubious, Will hardly be denied. 1h« new king, coming to a throne raadt vacant by murder, speaks manfully at he assumes the high office. Perhaps be has the character to lead Italy to a unification more than theoretical, to still the voice of discord, and to overawe the malcontent; but the task be essays is difficult, the path he must tread is beset with thornfc Something is wrong with Italy. The four assassins who within a few yean have killed European ruler?, selecting their victims not because of wrongs tha vict|ms have done, have sprung from / Italy, There the anarchists had im bibed the crazy notion that in the but* chery of king or president there was virtue; thence they have gone on their malign missions, leaving many behind who sympathised with them, inspired them to act, applauded their foul deeds. An apparent climax' was reached when anarchy cruelly took the life of the King of Italy himself, giving no excuse seeking no pretext. He was a king, generous, liberal, 'numane, and beloved, but still a king. ri his was enough for anarchy , Perhaps the troubled history of Italy has had to do wittf moulding the senti* inept that finds expression in violence, but the fact that that fair land is the home of ignorance can not be over* looked. Illiteracy can not make for good citizenship. The man who can not read nor write can not be.expected to have an adequate conception of econo mic good ajid evil. If be suffers, he it conscious of it, but when he seeks a remedy he turns to the pistol or the knife, and if he die as a felon, dies rejoicing, unrepentant, and un ashamed.—American paper

Fiji And Few Zealand

- , 1» The Fiji Times of October 81, in the course of an article on " Federation, ' says :—" Since Fiji is sssured of the support of New Zealand, the next step for the citizens of this colony is to pre pare a memorial to the Queen praying that the wight s of colonists may be given effect to. This memorial will require to be presented for signature to each colonist, so far as the scattered nature of the settlers will then permit of, and transmitted to the Imperial authorities through his Excellency the Governor. It is much to be desired that the committee who have interested themselves in the matter lose as little time as possible in making the wishes of the colonists known to the Home authorities in the manner indicated.

Early in the evening a lady reported to the management that her pocket had been picked, and in addition to her parse, a drees circle ticket for two abstracted.

The lady whose pocket had been rifled was, however, averse to prosecuting and the fellow was let go on restoring tbt purs*.

Mrs. George Mitchell, of Yuille St., Buninyong, Victoria, send us her pho tograph with the following story: "I Buffered terribly from -general debility. I had no energy. I was tirecTin the morning as at niglit. It did not seem possible for me to keep up. I was thin and pale and my blood was very poor. I had no appetite. I gradually grew weaker and weaker. When almost com- . pletely exhausted I read about I immediately tried it and began to improve "at once. A few bottles completely restored .me to health." i .
