the honor 10 speak to Mr.. Louis, or Mr. Luz
Glen de Franchi.
- Yes, is It not SO? the resemblance is
great, added he, smiling, and while yet at Sui

myself who never were mistaken; however,
If he has not, since my departure, ahiured his
Corsican manners, YOU must have seen him

my fear that, suffering here myself, | would
make my brother suffer down there.

you now tell me; but in order TO believe such
an extraordinary thing TO be fact, and not
only a pTe-Occupatlon of his mind, It was
