DURING one of his severe illnesses,
Mazzini was staying at his favorite
lodging on The Fulham road, and was
waited upon by the woman who kept
the lodgings. She, like all who waited
| on him, was much attached to him, but
her awkward cooking was ill-fated to
his sick state. Unwilling to pain her
| by letting her know this, he used to
hide away the dinner, that she might
not see that it had not been eaten
THE Sultan of Turkey has two mag
nificent stables, each containing q large
number of carriages and horses, for har-
ness rs well as for the saddle. Among
the latter are horses from England,
France, Germany, Italy, Austria and
Russia-mostly presents from their re-
spective sovereigns. The Sultan has,
perhaps. the best stud of Arabians in
the world, and is not only very fond of
horses, but also an excellent rider. His
saddle horses are walked about t. the
sound of the military music, so as to ac.
custom them to it.
The London Times reports this little
incident as having taken piace recently
at Chiselhurst: A foreign diplomat,
who has played great part in the re-

would disappear, and that the young
Prince Imperial would return to

Why not I?'"

the opinion of the world of art on a
| grand scale. He has Just finished pic
ture 30 feet long by 20 feet wide, at
which he has been working pretty con-
stantly for four years. The subject of
this large romposition is "Christ Leav-
ing the Temple" and it contains alb. ut
four hundred figures. This picture is
to be shown for few days in Paris,

A SOMEWHAT notable tribute has Just
been paid to an American artist by the
Lord Mayor of London. His Honor
having visited Munich lately, there en-
tered the studio of David Neal. He
found him just finishing a picture of
Watt as a boy, studying the power of
steam. The boy is seated near the
chimney corner, watching the tea-ket-
tie. His mother has opened the door
and scolds him pleasantly, as her face
indicates, for absenting himself from
the family evening meal, which is seen
going on in another room through the
half open door. The Lord Mayor in.
vited Neal to name his own price for
the picture, and it will henceforth grace
the Mansion House in London.
Lively Competition for Grass Widow.
A correspondent writes to the Man.
kato Minn.) Union of a widow, who
resides in a certain town in Winona
county, who had been wooing two young
stripplings, the one ten and the other
eleven years her junior. Both the lads
happened to meet the lady at the same
time, and both were on the crrand of
deciding upon the day for celebrating
the nuptials, as each had the encour
agement to believe himself the favored
suitor The widow herself was unde-
cided, and a scene of tears gave mo-
mentary relief to the heart-throbbing
of the two young lovers. Finally she
chose the younger of the two, and they
parted for the night. In the morning,
the discarded lover bethought himself
of his photograph and ring still in the
possession of the lady. He went to the
lady to obtain them, and again sought
favor in her eyes. She yielded, and
promised if he should get his license
first, she would marry him. He left on
the afternoon train for Winona to pro
cure the license, and noticed his rival
on board, who was on the same errand,
but evidently knew nothing of the
new bargain. AS soon as the train ar.
rived, the lover who held the latest
and obtained his license, and Just as he
was retiring, the rival entered and ap,
piled for license to marry the same
woman. Onr hero who had obtained
the license was bound TO press his ad-
vantage, and instead of waiting for the
morning train, which would bear his
rival home, he footed it home through
the mud the same night, and secured
his prize the next morning by marrying
the "grass widder."
"Scratch that Man OFF,"
In one of the United States Courts

the list for the purpose of impanelling

an appearance, and in very mild and
