A TRAGI-COMEDY.
The little Corsican village of Zonza has been the scene of a tragi-comedy of love and ereed. Giulo Muzzi, a wealthy landowner, was the guardian of his two nieces, Eosina and Philomena, who were both possessed of means. .Mum was determined that one of the fortunes should remain in the family, so he compelled Eosina to become engaged to his son, who was deeply in love with her. Eosina, however, had* made other plans for her future, and disappeared on the wedding morning, saying that she had gone to marry the man of her choice. iMuzzi promptly informed his son that he would have 'to marry Philomena, who j also had a lover. The cousins feigned acquiescence, but on the morning he was | to be married the younger Muzzi committed suicide. Philomena was married on the same day to Antonio Guidicelli, who immediately" after the ceremony called his friends'together, raided Muzzi's pro- : perty, and carried off a number of cattle. Antonio, his bride, and his friends were tried at Bastia, but all were acquitted, with the exception of Antonio, who was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment.
