Brigandage in High Circles.

Brigandage is assuming alarming proportions in Europe. The official gazette at Athens announces that a now election has been ordered in a certain district of Thes-aly in order to fill the seat in Parliament rendered vacant by the sentence of Congressman Kalambaka to penal servitude for complicity with the banditti infesting his province. At Palermo the Italian government has just arrested Baron de Kamo on identical grounds, a peculiar feature in his ca o being that he is a millionaire. In the nor!h of Italy wo have Count Serpiere, commanding an infantry regiment at Verona, and a very rich man, arrested and court-mar-tialed for having stolen an innumerable quanity of plate, chiefly forks and spoons, which he was in the habit of pocketing wherever he dined, no matter whether it was a private house or a restaurant.
