illustrated bv tactics emnloved bv a fa -

1 This miin, who was named Rinaldo-
RinalHini. was for years the terror of cer
I uin portious of Italy. His retreats were
' in the mountain fastness of the Ape-
i nines. He had scores of eworu men
under bis command, who obeyed Lira as
: implicitly as it was possible for men to
' obey a leader. If ever one by chance
: or iutetition failed to do so, the severest
; punishment was inflicted on the delin
quent, and not nnfrequently the death of
tbe unlucky wight was required by the
, releutls chief.
A favorite way of the robber chief to
' raise money was to carry off a member
. or members of rich and noble families to
bs biding places, and there keep them
' prisouers, under guard, until a heavy re-
; waid was offered and paid for their safe
; return to their families. He acquired
1 vast sums of mouey in this way, as well
las by house and highway robberies
i Great efforts had been made by citi -
teas of towns to break np the baud of
: robbers. The Princes, too. of the Ital
: ian States bad repeatedly sent out expe
; dilions to capture Rinaldo-Rinaldini and
' Iiia band. Immense suras of money had
from time to time been offered for the
1 body of the chief, ekher dead or alive,
! by tbe authorities.

raon church for adultery and bigamy
The question as to the right of men to
serve as jurors who religiously believe in
polygamy, is thus disposed of by Chief
Justice McKcan :
"The sophism by which polygamy is
sought to be justified as being in harmony
with Americau civilizttion is that poly
gamy is a religious practice ; that relig
ious toleration is one of the fundamental
principles of American institutions and
of the Federal Constitution ; that there
fore, polygamy is protected by tbe Con
elitutiou, and all laws euacted agaiust it
are unconstitutional. If tbe mass of the
American people were barbarians, or if
the patriarchal or the tribe system of
government prevailed among them it is
needless to say that our Constitution aud j
l institutions could not exist. Is it not a
! little humiliating that it should seem to
j be necessary to add that our Gonstitu-

such blessings as contributions had not

to put themselves immediately upon tbe

Ou Monday some persons strangers
to the town, we believe suggested tbe
! propriety of calling a meeting of citizens
i of tbe place for tbe purpose of appoint-
1 ing a committee to receive and disburse
I whatever might be voluntarily sent to

stated times it was distributed or disburs-
sufferings was carried to Harrisburgto tbe
Legislature, and that body deemed our
distress to be of so serious a nature as
to warrant it to appropriate Sl'0,000 for
our sufferers aud destitute and needy.
The bill retained the committee appoint
ed by the meeting of citizens, excepting
tbe treasurer, for the disbursement of the
20,000. The money was drawn and dis-
tributed, and of it Mr Noah Elder, one
of the committeemen, received one bun-
dred dollars His plea for taking that
amount we have not learned. How he

A Knklnx Dress.
A despatch to Forney's Preu, from
Washington, sajs :
" A North Carolina gentleman has left
at tbe Star office a full suit of the dress,
worn by tbe Kuklux Klan. It was cap
tured upon tbe person of one of the
members of tbe order recently arrested
aud tried in that State. Tbe suit, which
is of black cambric, is in three parts !
The first is a covering for the bead and
shoulders, consisting of a long pointed
cap, widening over tbe shoulders. The
portion over the face is sb.-iped into a
mask with eye holes bound with while
cloth aud a mouth having a binding of
red flannel. A false nose of red flannel,
two horns of white cloth stuffed with cot
lou, whiskers and eyebrows of long
white hair, are the other features of the
face. Above the face appei.i s the Greek
Cross on white cloth, and yet above tbis
the characters, K. K. K., No. 40. Tbe
other parts of tbis disguise are a gown
and pantaloons, with a body faced with
white cloth. The whole concern looks
like an absurd masquerading suit, but is
undoubtedly tbe disguise worn by the
North Carolina Kuklux gang when ar
rested, just as tbey were about hanging
one of their victims."
