They are prolific people. To be childless is regarded as an intense calamity; and no matter how shallow the purse, no new comer is wel- comed other than with smiles and gladness. Now, is it possible that a people so home- loving, so affectionate, so fond of offspring, should be so deprayed, so immoral, as we habitually depict them? We have too long looked upon one side only of the Italian character; it 1s high time that we learned to know the other. Another favorite idea of ours 4s that the Italians never make love marriages. No doubt their marriages, like those of the French, are often arranged by the parents; but, unlike those of the French, as a rule a veto of choice is left to the young people, and it we could collect statistics tpon the point, Iam in- clined to think that we should find that the proportion of these marriages, founded yee a groundwork of reason and social compatibility, which tarn out well is as great as, If not greater than, that of our marriages founded on youth- ful caprice and unreason. ——— roo Lots of dude trowsers, left over from last sea- Son, are being chopped up into proper length for glove angers.

ES Seer ‘Taste i, From the New York Tribune. A worthy young Connecticut farmer being persuaded that “it is not good for man to be alone,” came to this city to seck a wife. Several of his neighbors had taken to themselves help- meets from among the piump and_ pleasing immigrants, and these matches had all turned out so well that he was minded to follow suit. Wives, But having inspected the arrivals ofeligible girls at Castle Garden tor two or three days, and not having as yet seen any one to whom his heart went out, this adventurous agriculturist be- thought himself of another plan, and one tor which, indeed, he had no warrant of neighborly example. He had readin the papers some ttle time ago an account of the arrest of a young womannamed Emma Larrabee for burg- i This young woman was described as a professional burglar, and it was said that she had an unconquerable passion for that kind ot illegitimate amusement. Now it occurred to the young man from Connecticut that if Miss Larrabee would marry him he might be able to. reclaim her, and forthwith he sought her out. As he promptly ascertained that she had a prior engagement in the penitentiary, it may be hoped that he will detach his affections trom this bright particular star. and rest content with some less notorious but probably more trustworthy maiden from oyer the sea, if Indeed the good state of Connecticut cannot furnish him with a home-made American wife. But though his taste in choosing a wife may seem odd it is but the outcropping of a ten- dency which is by no means new. When, for- merly, Australla was a penal colony, the set- tlers were allowed to marry the female convicts, and It was observed that those women who had the “hardest” records always were snapped up first. In the same way when youn women have committed startling crimes they have In- varlably attracted suitors if they escay the gallows. A remarkable instance of this was the case of Madeleine Smith, a Scotch girl of good family and position, who poisoned her lover In Edinburgh some thirty years ago. The trial was very sensational. It was shown that the prisoner had had a liaison witt the de- ceased, who wasa Frenchman, and that desir- ing to marry a man in her own station she de- liberately murdered the lover. The Jury brought in Ue Scotch verdict. ‘not proven,” though her guilt was clear, and within a week she had more than twenty offers of marriage, though she was known to be a poisoner. Cases of this kind go to show that the women who gush over murderers and fill their cells with flowers, have not a monopoly of that particular sort ot folly, but that men, too, are amenable to the subtle magnetism of notoriety, and are quite as capable of playing the moth to crim- inal luminaries, provided the latter are young and good looking. And it is not always that the friendly walls of a penitentiary interpose between these fascinated moths and the fatal attraction which would so surely singe their wings.
