d'Orsay--a disease of the spinal marrow,
brought on by the the same causes. Their

his prowess dearly; before the prime OF his
life be WAS bowed as with superfuous years

Pompeo, is one of the best baritones in the
world. The Princess Christine Trivulzio de

Paris at present, and is one OF the most poPu'
