pected him Of hoarding up secret savings
on his own account, from his admins
tration OF her business affairs. A crisis
ensued and she thought Of applying TO
the French courts for separation Of
property and person. But the counsels
Of NJ. Gaillardet and those Of Cremieux,
the celebrated lawyer, both Of whom she
had consulted in regard TO the matter,
induced her to abandon her purpose, as
they assured her that such an appeal TO
the courts would be in vain. Thus was
il that things went on in their old, usual
way between this husband and wife in
name, until the day when La Bosio died
suddenly in st. Petersburg. Of inflam-
nation Of the lungs. Xindavelonis wept
for her loss sincerely for he still loved
her, despite her indifference to him. Out
of the husbands share Of her fortune
that came to him, he erected a superb
mausoleum to her memory. The fortune
Xindavelonis had inherited amounted TO
more than 100000 francs, Angelina
having left only a sister as heir to her
property. Xindavelonis made a liberal
use of this money. He showed himself
to be so sympathetic, in assisting their
necessities, to his poor fellow-eountry-
men who resided in Paris, that the King
of Greece decorated him with an order
of merit, and conferred upon him the
title of chevaler. His dinners in Paris
we're attended by men of social impor-
tanee: among others, by the minister
from Greece, who appreciated his chari'
ties no less than the stafato and the
macaroni which Xindavelonis skillfully
prepared with his own hands. In 1870,
when the war between France and Prus-
sia broke out Xindavelonis was in Lon
don. he keenly felt the woes of France
so keenly indeed, that his reason was
overthrown. His insanity took the
shape of belief that he was pecu-
niarily ruined. Nor was this con-
viction i'll founded, for two Greeks,
his friends, who had him placed in an
asylum, searched his papers and pos
sessed themselves of vouchers for more
than 100000 francs, under the pretext
of depositing them in place of safety.
Having recovered his reason, if not
health, at the end of some months, he was
obliged to bring suit against his too zeal
GUS friends for the recovery of his detain-
ed property. Judgment had not yet been
given in this case, when for the second
time the unfortunate mans senses left
him, and he was placed in an asylum
for the insane at Paris by his sister s
husband, who hastened from Athens at
the announcement of his sickness, and
took possession Of the remainder of the
sick mans fortune, which he carried
back with him to Athens, probably fear
ing the attempt of Partisan thieves if he
should leave it behind him. Aindave-
lonis was still bereft OF his reason when
his brother-in-law died; and as the latter
had left, on his departure, no more
money than was necessary for the pa
TENTS board, the hour of death came
upon Xindavelonis bereft of all and the
man who in dying left 100000 francs to
his sister, his sole heir, was buried like a
pauper. NJ. Gaillardet and another
friend of the dead man were the only
mourners who attended at his funeral,
which was almost secret in its nature.
Previous to his death, Xindavelonis had
confded to these two friends his purpose
to bequeath two important legacies, one
to the city of Milssn and the other to the
city of Athens, intended to institute, in
his own name and that of his wife, two
annual prizes, in order to serve as an
to Italian and Greek
artists. The question is, did time, to
enable him to carry out his purpose, fail
him, or did his will disappear The fact
is, that the most profound silence has
been preserved on the subject by the in
heritor of his fortune.
