sIEGFRIED's RECEPTION.

Visitors now began to drop in at the house |
Of the great reyolutionist, who, accompanied
by Jankowski and Fcrrari, went into his
tlNwing-room to receive them. Some were
genuine revolutionists, men, whose shaggy
hcards and uncombed hair were in them
selves protest against the existing order of
society while others were merely men
without a profession, without an income,
and with talent for intrigue, who had be-
come revolutionists, as men of fortune and
position in England become legitimate po-
liticans. Most of these intriguers, whose
one object in revolution was so to turn the
world that they should be uppermost, were
lso unkcmpt and unshorn, and were aitired
in the height Of the revolutionary fashion
for the revolutionisls havs also their fashions
in dress, being in this and in many other
respects quite as conventional as those
whose conventions they despise.
Nearly all these political Bohcmians car
red wide-awakes instead Of hats; doubtless
because it is impossible TO put on or take off
wide-awake without disarranging, that
Is to say, without giving a revolutionary ap-
pearance to the hair.
One man who inveighed against the clergy
fall crceds and countries, and who preach
cd himself every Thursday, was clean shay
cd and attired like priest.
A few scrupulously well-dressed men
seemed to be attempting the part of the rev.
olutionary mobiles in France Immediately be-
fore lIs9 They denied that the proprietor
had any right to his land, and laughed at
titles, though their own, surmounted by
coronets, were engraved on their visiting
cards. Tsey wished it to be understood
that they were not as other revoutionists
and that they had at least, something tc
lose.
There were two or three practical histori
cal rcvolutionists, who had led armies ant
governed cities. and acted as ministers IL
Italy, Hungary, and Germany, during th'
revolutionary period of ls4s.
There was one Russian proprietor, witt
la'l given pledges to the revolution. In hi
enthusiasm he had abandoned his estate all
soutely to his peasantry, and it was sal
mad not benefited them by the gift. How
ever, the remarkable thing about him wa
Thai he was penniless by his own delibefat
Will. He had kind gentle manner in oil
binary conversation, but the look of far
attic when he was heated by argument,
There were two Poles who had fought tt
sether-that is to say one against the other
al the battle of Castelfdardo. One was
democrat and a red republican, the other a
arlstocrat and stanch supporter of IL
rope. The republican fanatic, on takin
the other fanatic prisoner, had, it was sai'
cahed him with his own hand, as ma
wso, by fighting on behalf of tyranny, ha
sullied the Polish name. This story, hoy
ever, invented by the Poles of the cxtren
party in order to bring member of one
inc great Polish families into contempt, WI
mere calumny.
Count Konradin, the aristocratic Pol
mad come to Siegfrieds to see whether the
was any possibility of entering into relation
anu forming compact with the democrat
lie was first cousin to Jankowski, who
uoduccd him to FarraIi. Farrari found hi
very simple, very unpretending, and tho
ough enthusiast. He had mistaken the ra
ged regiments of the Pope for legion
crusaders, and General Lamoriciere
oodeiroi de Bouillon In other respects
was a very charming and intelligent you
man. Unpeu trop aristocrate, accordi
70 slegtried, but that was all.
There was a Moldavian, who had learn
lew revolutionary pharses by heart, and "
never tired of repeating them.
There were three or four Russian ofiic
VINO, accused of revolutionary propagal
ISM, had thought it prudent to fly from r
sia, and who were now completely ruin
anu would have starved had not Siegfr
found them work-one as a clerk, anot
Us a teacher, another as compositor
printing office.
