Hurrying Off Foundlings in Italy.

The follow ing description of how girls iu u foundling hospital at Palermo, Italy, j 1 are married off is given iu an article by the late Lady Amberley, on “ Foundling : Hospitals in Italy,” published in MacmiLlun’x Magazine: The-long dormitories were clean and orderly, out the curious and peculiar feature of this establishment was the parlatoriu, or reception-room, the center portion of which is, divided off from the sides and further end by an iron grating which forms a cage, entered only by a well-barred street door, through which visitors from the outer world art admitted. Here they sit on benches to converse with those on the other side of the irun grating. Friends of the sisters or employers of the place and fosterparents are the usual visitors. Once $ week, however, on Sunday mornings from ten to twelve, this place is the scene of the most , novel, and ludicrous courtships we ever heard described. One of the objects of this motherly establishment. is to find fit and"proper husbands fore* the girls under their charge; The fit and proper here is much like the fit and proper of society; the one requisite being that the young man is bound to show himself in possession of sufficient means to maintain a wife in comfort before be is allowed to aspire to the hand of one of these precious damsels. Having given in his credentials of fitness to the guardians, he. receives a card which admits, him the next Sunday morning to an in- , spection of the candidates for matrimony. There, sitting on a bench, if his curiosity and ardor will allow him to remain sitting, he awaits the arrival on the other side of the grating of the lady superior accompanied by a girl. She has been selected by order of seniority and capacity for household work from the hundred or more between seventeen and twenty-offe waiting for a youth to deliver them from their prison. The two young people, both, no doubt, breathless with agitation at the importance of the ceremony, have to take one long, fixed look at each other. No word is spoken, no sign made. These good sisters believe so fully iu the language of the eye that to tlieir minds any addition is futile, and might but serve to mystify the pure and perfect effect of love at first sight.

Tlie look over, tlie L;uly Superior asks -the- ißftß-i£ bo will accept “the maiden—asliis bride. Should he answer in the affirinative, the s;tme question is put to her, and if she bows assent the betrothal has taken place, and they part till the Sunday following. The young lover again makes his appearance before tlie tribunal o! guardians; and there the contract is signed, the day of marriage fixed, and he is granted leave to bring the ring, carriage, a wedding dress and confetti, and present them —through the grid, of course—to liis betrestlied. Everything has to pass the scrutiny of the sisters for fear of a letter or some word being slipped in with gifts. During the few Sundays that intervene between the first love scene and the marriage an hour’s conversation within hearing of the Lady Superior is allowed, but not a touch is exchanged. The empty talk, interspersed with giggling, consists of inquiries as to the wedding-dress, the sort of confetti most liked and the occupation and place of abode of the suitor. Should the young man refuse the first damsel presented to him he is favored with tht sight of three or four more, but should Tie still appear difUcilc. he is dismissed! The girl also has the power of refusal. The marriage over the task of the sisters is done; here falls a veil they never lift—and whether happiness and faithfulness are tlie result they naver inquire. Our readers must before now have wondered what inducement there can be to make the youths who have the world to choose from come here in search oi' a wife. Two hundred and fifty francs is the great attraction. That sum is given in a dowry for each of these girls, and for that sum it seems a Sicilian is willing to sell himself for life. Those girls for whom the institution fails to find husbands are allowed at twenty-one to face temptations alone, and situations are found for them.

Counterfeiters Outwitted.

A gang of counterfeiters of United States currency were discovered in ,Cincinnati recently, and from them it was learned that another gang was at work in 'this city, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. One of the Cincinnati detectives came on this city and, communicated with the branch of the United States Secret Service Bureau in Bletieker street. Several detectives frem this bureau were detailed to work with the Cincinnati man, and they visited in disguise every thieves’ den in the city. They finally ascertained that James 'Dunson, of No. 85 South Firth avenue, formerly proprietor of a liquor saloon at No. 121 Bleecker street, corner of Wooster, and Joseph Quinn, a thief well (jnown to the police, had been engaged in distributing large quantities pf spurious money. It remained for the officers to secure these men and obtain from them evidence not Only for tlieir conviction, but for the discovery of others engaged in the same business. Two officers watched Dunsop and the Mquorsaloon in Bleecker street which he frequented for three weeks, during which time they won Dunson’s confidence, and Were finally shown by . him several counterfeit notes, which lie tillered to sell at a great reduction, provided large quantities xvere taken, in reply to inquiries, Dunson said that he. had been passing them for three months; that he had already made $5,000 by such operations, and that he could obtain all the “stuff'” that he could use from the sime source whence he had obtained these sam- ; pies. These notes were $5 . bills of j a new aiid very decepUve pattern, | and Dunson said that lie cOuld ; obtain fifty cent notes, fully as good; ip • any quantity, from persons in the West. Joseph Quinn, the thief, wa’s introduced ! to the officers by Dunson at one of these interviews, and he produced £.500 in notes of all descriptions, and ; offered to sell them to the "strangers. It 1 was agreed that these should be delivered on Friday niglit at Bleecker and CrOsby streets, where Quinn was to ntee't the officers. He came at the appointed hour, and was instantly pinioned and carri'ed. ■ to tlie Central Police office, where he waA locked Up. Dunson, hearing nothing more, of Quinn and his friends that night; returned to his residence'll No. 85 South | Fifth avenue, to await their return. The ! detectives appeared there at 2 o’clock on ! Sunday morning, and captured him aftpr | a hard struggle; He was conveyed to the Secret Service office and there kept while his house was searched. Three i carpet-bags, containing about SIO,OOO in spurious notes, were found apd taken to the Secret Service office. Dunson was given in charge of the Central Office police, and will be kept by them until

further evidence can be obtained from ■ him. It is understood that he has already mentioned the whereabouts of a heavy “ manufacturer,” who will be immediately tracked by the detectives, — New York Tribune , Oct 12. *

HAPS AND MISHAPS.

—An attempt was made a few nights ago to assassinate Mr. David S. Gray, an oil-operaior of Titusville, Pa. He was walking along Church Run with alighted lantern, when some unknown person fired 'a pistol at him, the ball striking him in the breast and inflicting a painful and dangerous wound. , —Deacon William I. Edwards, of Westhampton, Mass., was quite badly hurt recently by the breaking of a cant-hook, with which he was roiling logs. The handle of the hook broke and the iron flew back, striking him directly across the nose, breaking it off and laying it sideways across his face. S —Mrs. Theodore D. Read, of New Haven, Conn., while starting out for a drive a few afternoons ago, in company with a maid and. an infant, was so terribly frightened by a jar caused by the striking of the wheels against the horsd-car tracks that she fainted, and on being taken home died a few hours after. —The other morning a little daughter of Frank Ethridge, of Mendon, Mich., was burned to death. She had been having ague, and laid down beside the stove and went to sleep. Her little sister, younger, was playing around tlie stove, and pulled some fire out, which-fell on the little sick girl, burning her nearly to death before assistance could be procured, her mother having, a few"inmates previously, left the house. The child died a few hours after.. —One of tlie most pathetic reminders of the recent Fall River disaster is the habit of a woman whose three daughters ware killed, but who still Insanely believes that they arc alive. Every day, when the factory bells are ringing for dinner, the woman, who saw her three daughters borne away to be buried, that Sunday, takes a tin pail as she used to do, and starts for Granite mill, No. 1. Sometimes her neighbors divert her attention by telling her that it isn’t bell time, but, other days, she walks to the place where the mill once stood, sees nothing that she can recognize, turns -back in a dazedavayoind.. goes to. her.deserted home again, ' ■

—A strange occurrence took place a few mornings since in the family of Mr, Silas Doloway,* engineer in Babcock, Fuller A Co.’s new liat factory, who occupies'J. W. Canfield’s house on Mulberry street, in this village. Mrs. Doloway is accustomed to leave her babe, a little girl four months old, up-stairs while slie does her morning’s work in ths basement, from where she could easily hear the least noise. On the morning in question she heard the little one crowing as usual, .but, finally noticed that the noise ceased, and shortly after heard a strange, gurgling noise. Supposing that the child had got its head under the bed-clothes and was suffocating, she ran up-stairs to see about it and found the house-cat with its nose in the child’s mouth. The child was strangled black and was fighting feebly with its hands. She. caught the child and shook it several times, when it caught its breath and caine out all right. In a few minutes more it would probably have been strangled to death. Mrs. Doloway had to pull the cat off tlie child, eager wak it- to remain: It had a paw on either-side of the child’s head and had its nose pressed'deeply into the child’s Tirouth. -TTre cat was mstantly killed.— Middletown (N. Y.) Mercury.

Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, Bronchitis, Consumption—A Wonderful Cure.

Rochester, N. Y., June 13,1874. R. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo. N. Y.: Pear /Sir—l bad suffered from Catarrh in an aggravated form for about twelve years, and for several years from Bronchial trouble. Tried many doctors and things with no lasting benefit. In May, ’72, becoming nearly worn out with excessive Editorial labors on a paper in New York city, I was attacked with Bronchitis in a severe form, suffering almost a total loss of voice. I returned home here, hut had been home only two weeks when I was completely prostrated with Hemorrhage from the Lungs, having four severe bleeding spells within two weeks, and first three inside of nine days. In the September following I improved sufficiently to be able to be about, though in a very teeble state. My Bronchial trouble remained and the Catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless, I seemed to b<? losing ground daily. I continued in this feeble state, raising blood almost dgily, until about the first of March, ’73, when I became so bad, as to be entirely confined to the house. A friend suggested your remedies. Rut I was extremely skeptical that they would do me good, as I had lost‘all heart in remedies, and began to look upon medicine and doctors with disgust. However, I obtained one of your circulars, and read it carefully, from which I came to the conclusion that you understood your business, at least. I finally obtained a quantity of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, your Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and commenced, their vigorous use according to directions. To my surprise I soon began to improve. The Discovery and Pellets in a short time brought out a severe eruption, which continued' for several weeks. I felt much better, my appietite impi-oved, and I gained in strength and flesh. In three months every vestige of the Catarrh was gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared, had no Cough whatever, and I had entirely ceasedlo raise blood; and, contrary to the expectation of some of my friends, the cure has reniained permanent. "T have had no more Hemorrhages from the Lungs, and am entirely free from Catarrh, from which I had suffered so much and so long. The debt of gratitude I owe for the blessing I have received at your hands knows no bounds, I am thoroughly satisfied, from my experience, that your medicines will master the worst forms of that odious disease;* Catarrh, as well as Throat and Lung Diseases. 1 have recommended them to very many and shall ever speak in their praise.
