The Miijut, the secret association which directs the pperutioiis of. the. bri- gandsi, is a very jiowerful society, and it has been apparent that it In controlled by wellnliforincd aijd hkillfnl;lideVH.

A recent occurrence, however, furnishes indisputable proof' that the highest classes in Sicily are con cerned to some extent, though how - widespread the ramifications of the Mima are amongst them, there is no good-means for judging at pre sent.

It gives the tptal amount'of failures. in the past six months iri the States and Canada, and furnishes some facts which may be inteiesting to oilr redders. For the six months ending in June, 1&7-5, tlier failures that took place in the United Spates were 3,563 in number ;and_ involv ed surtsto the amount of S76,844,- 000. ;During the last six months the number increased to 4,000, while the Sum at jstake^rose up to 8108,415,000." It is taken as a re assuring indication, that tbe three months just ended have not been so iprolific of disasters as the first three'.. months,- the difference in amounts being 43,000,000 as against-864,400,000 ;; and 'the in dividual cases sI,7Q4 as agiitist-;2,r 806;'" In Canada tie nuniber of failureff'is-set down as 47? for tlrt tiis6s|ii" months of 1S7G, tie against 381 for the:corre8|>onding period of 1875 ; ivhila the anidunt at stake' "was S7',418,000, as agaitist $5,276,- 000 for 'he tame peiiod of 1875. Canadian Characteristics. The C'hicagS" l'hnr<s indulges in the follonirig criticism of the Cana-j dian pecij'Ie:: "If there is any trait iuj't'ie thoroughbred Canadian more strongly marked than" that of; persistence, it has never been brotigh t. prominently into play.

Under [the.pressure of strongly adverse circumstances he may ; cease for a time to growl : but not fori ah' instant; will he lose his!hold.'! There is some -truth as well as force in-the above remarks, and this' is probably' one amongst! several reasons why "Canadians who migrate to tlie other side of the lino have ;notrouble in securing the best situations that are going. The fact thai they are so much sought after is; [on- the other hand, one amongstja number of causes which induce "Canadians, and especially young Canadians, to go to the Western States in the hope of bet tering their prospects. wif;u unkindly and frequently struck her.

A few days afterward:he suddenly sprung to his feet and ' caught her by the neck, saying, " 1 wJuld like to live with yon. You are .beautiful and 1 lovo you, but I will spoil that so that one else will love you," and struck her repeatedly" in tho face.

Tliey rushed out for tho police, thinking that tho murderer would try to escape; but, when one of the family returned a few minutes later, it iwas found that the assassin had returned and fired the second'shot under his wife's ear the last shot proving fatal. Then he went again to thi- balcony and slid down the post to the second story balcony, breaking down some of the llowers.

P. Kase, No. 1001 North Fifteenth" street, in tho pi-osenco of a largo number of invited guests from Phil adelphia and other cities. | A re- prcsontativo of this journal was requested to call at 8 o'clock in the' evening,1 and publish|,to the woild oxactly what ho BuwLand, so far as limited spueo will! permit, this sliall be faithfullyUlone. Tho reporter, 'upon presenting, himself at tho vestibule,, was met (by Mr. Kase, who conducted him tpa huge well lighted, handsomely furnished library, in the second story, whine most of the company . were already assembled, and, after tho usual in- interchango of courtesies; requested him to examine a new piaup stand ing in one end of thorooni. This proved to bo a Tory largo 7j| octave instrument, weighing probably from 1,200 to 1,100 pounds. Tiio back legs wero butled .up' against small cleats fastened to.tho floor, as Mr. (Jas'o explained, to keej) it from moving 'when lifted %'om the front. The piano was rolled out and tho cleats seen to bo simple pieces of wood and nothing more. In a .few moments- a huly, who was introduced as Mrs. BelliYoungs (it was afterwards privately stttcd that she was a daughter of Mr. Cranston Lawrfe, statistician of tho Post Office Department at Washing ton), enteied the room, and -taking her seat at tho.piano, began a live ly waltz'. Theft followed a popular, ballad, and finally, a spirited selec tion in. polka time. During tho performance of the last coniposi tion the piano seemed to become a little excited;and to beat time-with the front legs, this motion becoming rapidly mofo marked until it'.was raised again and again from'-four to sixlnches from'tho floor and thump ed back at every accented inote in the; bar with such force as to jar tho room. " Please don't make so much noise," pleaded Mrs. (Youngs, and the piano immediately ascended and descended as though resting on springs. The lady then stood up, but tho piutio-continued to be.it tinio ; next she placed her lingers on the music- desk with ;the same result, and. finally held both -hands over her head, and it obeyed her voice, mov ing up and down lightly or! heavily as-obediently as a trained ! unini.il. Seven gentlemen and one lady, the aggregate weight of all being 1.245 pounds, then, at Mi-s. Youhgs' re quest sat.upon the piano, placed her hands upon it, and again it jumped from' four to six inches from the floor when requested. Mrs.- Youngs mext placed one hand at the bottom of the same end. with one hand lying flat 'oh top, ai|d the process was repeated. As only two gentlemen in the room could lift that (the harp) end of the instrument, and then only;with an instant flushing of the face and swelling of tho veins indicative of great muscular evthtion, it did.not seem within the bounds of possibil ity that the pale faced lady could move it with \ one hand, but still the reportpr placed his hand be tween the bottom of the piano and the lady's palm, and though the piano still jumped' us lively us ever, there was lio perceptible pressure from the lady's hand under the piano, and it was further noticed that not even tho lady's dress touch ed it; the other hand was lying flat on the top. A largj, powerful, gentleman, who liadbefure lifted one end of the piano, then tried again with Mis. Youngs' finger resting on top, but was tumble to budge it. Two gentlemen (tied the same ex periment and were successful, al though both admitted that the in strument had suddenly increased amazingly in weight. AH these experiments and others of tho same nature were repeated again and again during the. even ing, and ul ways with the same re sult, the; piano moving in any direc tion a the word of command, wheth er its new-found mistress touched it or not. Mrs. Youngs stated that she was very anxious to have her strasge power thoroughly investi gate J especially by' scientists, and during herjistay would willingly give tests at! any private resjdence in the city.
