[Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Times]
The exodus from Naples during the
past week has been so great that lodg
ings in the neighboring villages are ob
tained only at fabulous prices. Some
times as high as 500 f a month for a sin
gle room is demanded. The better sec
tions of the town are deserted and all the
shops in the Toledo are closed at 4 in
the afternoon. The theatres are all shut.
Many of the poorer streets are as silent
as death. Even the cases are closed,
and the only sign of life is the joiners
hammering the rough coffins together.
In some of the streets absolutely every
body is either dead or is sick. In one
street—the Via Duchessa—thirty cases
occurred in a single house. The smell
of burned sulphur is everywhere, and
the wretched people of the poorer
classes are either stupefied or frantic.
Meanwhile the devotion and daring of
the King and the Archbishop have had
the effect of dispelling somewhat the
superstition about poison and allaying
the class hatred which raged at first.
But the public morale is still worse than
ft is possible to describe. A mob attacked
tn the Via del Purgatorio a man whom
they suspected of throwing poisonous
powder over some cakes exposed for sale
on the piazza, dragged him back and
made him eat the cake until the owner
interfered in self-defence. Out of sheer
perversity the people eat more fruit and
vegetables than usual. In the piazza in
front of the Municipal Palace two loaf
ers got a big basket of figs and in the
presence of a large crowd began to eat
them on a wager. The police marched
them off to jail. A woman who was
selling fruit on the corner of the Piazza
del Martini fell over dying of the chol
era. The crowd made a bonfire of her
chair, stand, and fruit, and then left her
to die. Nobody would carry her to the
hospital.
Although the disease is generally of a
mild character compared with the num
ber of cases, there are many instances
like the foregoing of its sturtling sud
deness. Several people have already
fallen down in the streets and been car
ried off dead. A lady who was taken
with vomiting during mass died before
■he reached home. The terrors of the
plague have been intensified by the
•coundrelly action of the butchers, who
trebled the price of meat as soon as the
panic began, but the King was followed
in his carriage by a mob of women
shrieking to have the price of meat re
duced, and the officials accordingly took
steps to import cattle and reduced
prices. People in the slums still defy
the laws boldly. The body of a woman
was buried in the little garden of her
home, and when the police arrested the
husband a great mob threatened to
rescue him. Under the inspiration of
the Archbishop the priests are now ex
erting every effort to discourage proces
sions and the like, though with little
raccess.
There has been an enormous revival
of religions sentiment in Naples. The
street shrines which were walled up by
Garibaldi in 1860 have all been opened,
and the whitewash scraped off the holy
pictures. Crowds wild with joy watch
ihe work and hail with shouts each
restoration. The processions are con
tinued in the poorest streets, chiefly by
women. The churches are thronged
and street altars are erected. The polioe
do not dare interfere with the altras.
Most extravagant stories of miracles
worked are received with credulity by
the populace. The hospital and ambu
lance system have been overpowered by
the awful increase in deaths, and for a
day or two it has been necessary to
leave corpses watting so long that they
ts-came putrid, thus adding vastly to the
contagion The situation in this respect,
however, has been improved by the
King's ordering the military to give as-
Scores of old omnibuses cov
ered with black have been converted
into hearses.
The heroism of King Humbert makes
the most welcome royal picture Eurojie
has looked on for years. The King is
accompanied always by his brother
Amadeus. He has visited all the hospi
tals and the afflicted quarters, scatter
ing money and kind words right and
left. He wished to explore the Fondaici,
containing probably the most hideous
human habitations in Christendom,
with ite narrow courtyards, its houses
eighty feet high, the sunlight and air
excluded, and the filthiest rooms, each
with a dozen or fifteen inmates of l>oth
•exes. There is no water there to wash
with; the place is alive with vermin; it
is a literal sink of pestilence, and con
tains fully one-fourth of the whole
population of Naples. All efforts to
dissuade the King from going had
iailed, when a despairing official cried
out: “Ton have no right to commit
suicide. Nor have yon a right to de
liberately murder many of these unfor
tunate people who will follow you even
into that hotbed of death !”
Upon this the King bowed and got
into his carriage again. All classes are
becoming demoralized as the horror
grows, but there can be no doubt that
the King's example has had an effect of
Preventing what would have otherwise
been a fearful panic. The Italian people
are almost crazy with enthusiasm for
the King, and the Catholic newspapers
Vie with the democratic ones in landing
bis course to the skies. The King and
Archbishop have fraternized from the
start, au4,the feeling is general that
a lapprochement between the Chureh
and State is nearer to-day than before
many years. The total number of

A SQUEEZED LEMON.
Hee. I.fncoln Frnpn.e. tn Have n Full Invea
ligation of the Greely Expedition.
It is understood at the War Depart
ment in Washington that Secretary Lin
coln proposes to anticipate what will
certainly be the action of Congress, by
making a thorough investigation of the
horrors of the Greely Expedition. He
has not yet decided upon what course to
pursue, nor has he even announced that
such is his intention, but those who
know him best and understand his meth
ods say that the Greely business will be
a squeezed lemon before Congress meets,
and that the facts - ill all be before the
public in a form that cannot be ques
tioned. It is now understood that the
details of the Expedi.ion are more
frightful than was at first Imagined. It is
believed that others besides Henry were
shot. Lieutenant Greely was advised
at Portsmouth to tell the whole story at
once, and the friends who gave him this
advice were earnest in the matter. It
was claimed that If the worst were known
now, the excitement would die out and
when the report went before Congress,
the whwle truth having Ixsen known, the
excitement would be slight; but if a
more horrible story went before Con
gress than the public had been led to
imagine, the whole disgusting details
of the terribly sad affair would have to
be gone over again. Lieutenant Greely
thought, and still thinks, differently.
He claims that the public has no inter
est in the matter and nothing to do with
it. What it learns will be simply that
which it i» impossible to keep back.
Secretary Lincoln feels as the friends
of Lieutenant Greely did, that it is best
to have the whole matter over with now,
that it may be forgotten as soon as pos
sible. Army officers generally agree
with him.
It has been rumored that some of the
records of the party’s experience at
Cape Sabine have been destroyed or
lost since the rescue, and it is admitted
that the diary of one of the men in
which the story of cannubalism was de
tailed with distressing minuteness has
been lost. One explanation is that it
was thrown overboard by accident from
one of the relief vessels, and another is
that it was burned accidentally, but it is
suspected that its contents were such as
to cause no sorrow at its loss among
those connected with the expedition.
Enough is left. In the way of papers,
notes and diaries to make a most sad
dening and sickening story.
Secretary Lincoln said that the reason
he ordered Sergeants Brainard, Long
and Connell, of the Greely party, to
Portsmouth was that he did not con
sider it becoming to an officer of the
army to exhibit himself in a museum
with the living skeleton and the fat
woman at 10 cents a peep. It is said
that all the enlisted men engaged in the
expedition will be discharged and placed
on the pension roll as soon as the proper
authority for this can bo found.
It is claimed that while the mon must
not be blamed for sustaining life under
nny circumstances, the fact of their can
nibalism will militate against them and
subject them to annoyances if they re
main in the army, and it has been
decided that this is the best way out of
the difficulty.
The Fire Record.
OBIOIN or THE FIKE AT CLEVELAND.
It has come to lie the generally ac
cepted theory, that the disastrous fire in
Cleveland, Ohio, was the work of an in
cendiary. The deed is charged to va
rious classes of citizens. A letter from
Cleveland says: A short time ago a
number of tramps were arrested by an
officer, on complaint of the watchman,
who found them camping in one of the
alleys. Revenge for this may have ex
cited some of the craft to fire the lum
ber. A theory has gained ground among
a few interested persons, laying the
deed at the door of one or more of the
employees of Wood, Perry 4 Co. It has
been reported that on Saturday night
the firm gave notice of a reduction in
wages to 90 cents in the cases of a por
tion of their force. The men were con
siderably stirred up in consequence, and
one of them, it is stated, said ina de
termined manner : “Well, if you won’t
pay $1 a day yon shan’t pay 90 cents,”
and he left. The fire occurred the next
night. There are not wanting plenty of
men who believe some of the workmen
were engaged in it, as the flames were
discovered on the north side of O-rtei
street, and they argue that this place
was fired first because the men knew
that the firm had no insurance on that
part of the lumber and it being also
near the river and the bridge, too, it
would be easy to get away. A reporter
called at the office of the firm and in
quired if the report that they had re
duced the wages of the employees to
90 cents was true. The answer was
that they desired to say nothing about
the matter at present. Those who do
not entertain these theories contend that
a spark from one of the tugs plying on
the river woul dquickly fire the lumber
which had an excellent chance to dry
under the hot sun of the past two weeks.
Female Ushers.
A New York theatre employs female
ushers who look like the most demure
and circumspect French nurses one sties
in the parks. They wear black dresses,
white frilled caps and long white nurse’s
aprons. The idea of employing female
ushers is borrowed from Europe. In
London and Paris all the theatres
employ them. In Paris ihe kind of seat
the spectator gets depends upon the im
pression he makes upon the lady usher.
The seat checks are not numbered, but
direct the purchaser to a certain section
of chairs. It the usher is satisfactorily
tipped she picks out the best seat in the
section. In London the girls distribute
bills of the play and get a sixpence for
each oilL Not to give U.e sixpence in
return for the bill, if such an omission
ever occurred, would be considered out-
Monkeys at a Wedding Breakfast
I was married in India. I engaged
for our honeymoon a little house—six
teen miles or so from any other inhabi
tation of white men—that stood on the
steep white cliffs of the Nerbudda River,
which here flowed through a canyon of
pure white marble. Close beside our
house was a little hut, where a holy man
lived in charge of an adjoining shrine,
earning money for himself and the shrine
by polishing little pieces of marble as
mementoes for visitors. It was a won
derful place altogether, and, while my
wife went in to change her dress, the
servants laid breakfast on the veranda
over-looking the river. At the clatter of
the plates there began to come down
from the big tree that over-shadowed
the house, and up the trees that grew in
the ravine behind it. from the house
roof itself, from everywhere, a multitude
of solemn monkeys. They came up
singly and in couples, and in famlies,
and took their places without noise or
fuss on the veranda, and sat there, like
an audience waiting for an entertain
ment to commence. And, when every
thing was ready, the breakfast all laid,
the monkeys all seated, I wentin to call
my wife.
“Breakfast is ready, and they are all
waiting,” I said.
“Who are waiting?” she asked, in
dismay, “I thought we were going to be
alone, and I was just coming out in my
dressing gown.”
“Nevermind,” said I. “The people
about here are not very fashionably
dressed themselves. They wear pretty
much the same things all the year
round.”
And so my wife came out. Imagine,
then, her astonishment. In the middle
of the veranda stood our breakfast table,
and all the rest of the space, as well as
the railings and the steps, was covered
with an immense company of monkeys,
as grave as possible and as motionless
and silent as if they were stuffed. Only
their eyes kept blinking and their little
round ears kept twitching. Laughing
heartily—at which the monkeys only
looked all the graver —my wife sat
down.
“Will they eat anything ?” asked she.
"Try them,” I said.
So she picked up a biscuit and threw
it among the company. And the result!
Three hundred monkeys jumped up in
the air bke one, and just for one instant
there was a riot that defies description.
'lhe next instant every monkey was sit
ting in his place as solemn and serious
as if it bad never moved. Only their
eyes winked and their ears twitched.
My wife threw them another biscuit,
and ng/in the riot, and then another and
another and another. But at length we
had given away all we hud to give, and
got ii] to go. The monkeys at once
rose, every monkey on the veranda, and
advancing gravely to the steps walked
down tin m in a solemn procession, old
and young together, and dispersed
for the day’s occupations. l'outh's

Feast of the Dead.
The Chinese inhabitants of New York
city on Sunday celebrated their Tezing
ming or “Feast of the Dead." This
commem'>ration is held annually, an 4
eonsis sos placing upon the graves of
departed relatives or friends food and
drink and a sac-simile paper figure of
the dead person, with appropriate cere
monies. A letter is pinned to the paper
man stating that time has not
dimmed the remembrance of the many
excellencies of his character or the es
teem and affection with which he was
regarded when alive. A match is then
applied to the paper and both figure
and communication is then allowed to
consume slowly. By this means the
message to the dead one is believed to
be conveyed to him. Woodlawn and
Evergreen Cemeteries, which contain
the greater number of Chinamen who
have been interred, were most largely
visited by Mongolian visitors, but none
of the cities of the dead where natives of
the Flowery Kingdom are buried was
neglected. Sunday night the Chinese
Decoration Day was concluded by a
genera] feasting in the house of those
who hail participated in the observance
of the daV, tend reminiscences and anec
dotes of the dead relative or friend were
indulged in by all present,
A FAMOUS AND UNIQUE PAPER. |
That Used by the Hank of Knsland—lt J
Cannot be Counterfeited.
The paper used tor printing the Bank
of England notes has always been made
by the Portal family, whose ancestor
eamc over from Bordeaux, after the rev
ocation of the Edict of Nantes, bring
ing with him the art of making fine pa
per, which, like those of silk weaving
and dyeing scarlet, was up to that
time unknown in England. Except by
burglary, it is absolutely impossible to
obtain a scrap of the beautifully water
marked paper produced at the mill at
Laverstoke. Every piece of this paper
is registered beforeit is removed from the
frame, an account is kept by a locked
dial, and every damaged note is ac
counted for before being ground up
again into pulp. Mr. Portal’s paper
has a potential value, quite apart from
its worth merely as paper, for it has al
ways been regarded as so essential to a
passable forgery that the world at large I
felt perfectly easy regarding any at- j
tempts to impose on them through the i
medium of the Bank of England. This
paper—it is, perhaps, needless to tell ’
any one—is quite unique. Tested by ;
touch, it emits a crisp, crackling, sharp
sound, and in color it has been de- j
scribed as "neither blue-wove, nor yel- |
low wove, nor cream-laid, but white, of
a hue that can ba compared with no i
other white.” The three deckled edges I
show the natural boundary of the pulp i
when first moulded. The fourth is left I
smooth by the knife which cuts the notes
in twain. The paper is tough—so tough, I
indeed, that after the addition of one
grain of size, it will hold a weight of
sixty pounds without tearing. Yet the
quantity of fibre in a five-pound note is
not more than eighteen and a half '
grains, and the sheet is so thin that ■
erasures are oftentimes found to be ex
tremely difficult.
But what constitutes the main safe
guard of the Bank is the “water,” or,
more properly, the wire “mark,” that
transparent de-ign which can be in
stantly detected when the paper is held
up between the eye and the light. This
crevice is obtained, as all water-marks
are, by twisting wires to the desired
shape, and sticking them on the face of i
the mould, so that when the pulp settles !
down it must of necessity be thinner on
the wire design than on the other parts |
of the sheet. The water is then per
mitted to run through the sieve-like face
of the mould, and the sheet of paper in
embryo “couched" by the mould being
gently but firmly pressed upon a blanket i
to which this spongy sheet clings. Siz- j
ing is a subsequent process, so that
when dry the water-mark is plainly
seen. Paper World.
Diamonds Without an Owner.
In the bond vault of ihe Treasury, |
says a Washington letter, is a quantity
of diamonds and other precious stones
which have a queer history. Their
value is variously estimated at from 8-5’1,-
000 to SIOO,OOO. There is a bottle four
or five inches long filled with glistening
diamonds, and besides tin o a huge
number of separate stones of various
kinds. Some of them are set in benuti- .
ful gold ornaments intended for per- !
aonal wear. Most of them have been in
the custialy of the Treasury < ffieiais for
forty-five years. These were suit to
President Van Buren in 1839 by the
Imam of Muscat, a country of Asia, as a
testimonial in recognition of some
service to that country by his
administration. Just what it was
nobody appears to know. Van Buren
could not accept them for himself, al
though it was the desire of the donor
that he should do so, by reason of the
clause in the Constitution which forbids
any person connected with the Govern
ment accepting any present or decora
tion from any foreign power or potentate.
To have returned them would have been
an insult to the royal giver, and what to
do with them was a question that puz
zled the Presidential mind. They were
finally turned over to the Treasury and
there they remain unto this day. The
entire collection has accumulated in a
similar way.
Other presents were sent to Govern
ment officers by kings and princes, who
had not read the Constitution of the
United States, and nothing could be
done with them except to stew them
away in the vault. They do not have
any definite owners, and they bear
about the same relation to the Govern
ment that unclaimed packages do to an
express company.

Lady Casiiiera.
The Buffalo Express has made in
vestigations in its eity and speaks
an emphatically good word in favor of
lady cashiers. It cannot find a case in
which one of them has ever been justly
accused of emb, zziemeut. One retailer
said that the cashiers were invariably
honest, but occasionally a ternate clerk
had been detected in pilfering sirall
articles—collars, handkerchiefs, and the
like—but the cases are rare. A leading
dry goods dealer said: “I never knew
a woman who handled other people’s
money to steal one cent. I have em
ployed women cashiers for years. They
are quicker at making change than men;
they will detect counterfeit money
quicker; they keep their cash accounts
clearer, and they don’t want to run the
whole store, as men do.’
