we find much that reminds us OF Guido
Reni-that do not deny; but have you
essaysd q contest with the maestro him
selfP l mean, have you ever copied one
of his pictures with her, and seen whether
she is capable of reproducing it success
fully, and perhaps, reproduce him with
equal, or possibly with greater success ~
AT first there was a general murmur,
and for q moment it seemed doubtful
whether there would be any one to second
the proposition; then one or two voices
made themselves heard.
"Quite right, quite right, that would be
a test" said one, and the faces of the en-
yious few wore malicious smile.
LET us make the trial." said another
'slet us all enter the lists"
And now arose Giovanni Serani, and
spoke with almost youthful fire.
Make the trial, all of you," he cried,
lin order that you may all learn to bow to
Elisabetta's genius, whose mastery you
question only because she is woman:
Follow the suggestion of Signor Malvezzi
who is filled with anger and hatred be-
cause my child preferred her art to being
Signora Malvszzi. Make the trial, and |
swear to you that will give her hand to
him who surpasses her."
For moment all the blood appeared to
leave Elisabetta's cheeks, and her large
eyes filled with tears; but as she raised
them 10 heaven, and her hand involunta-
~ grasped the cross upon her breast, she
seemed suddenly to be comforted. The
cross was her talisman, the gift of her dy-
ing master, and she felt that his spirit
lowered over her. With the pride and
confidence Of queen, she rose, and care
less Of all the eyes turned toward her, she
said, in a firm tone -
$50 be it! and promise to yield my
father willing obedience. Let the portrait
of Beatrice Cenci, which is accounted one
Of our masters best works and very diff
fficult to reproduce, serve to test our
ability to copy him. To him who is adj
Judged more successful than l, promise
my hand, if he see fit to demand it,
bravo, signorita, well said" cried
Malvezzi, triumphantly; "but now let us
see who of your colleagues will compete
for the charming prize"
For moment there was no reply-all
were silent; then single voice cried out
boldly
~ willv' 1t was Marco Sessis. Il
will, and here's my gage! and he threw
his glove upon the table and lett the hall
II shall be avenged, result as it will,
whispered Malvezzi to friend Ne
woman shall reject me with impunity
know very well that all Bologna laughs al
my expense, and that Biachini is amusing
his friends with satirical poem of which
my courtships are the theme"
''Lngi Picnardi," said Elisabetta to the
friend upon whose arm she leaned on hei
way home-she was well-nigh exhausted
after the excitement of the evening-''you
said of the wreath of white roses they
placed upon my head that they i'll became
the living. Who knows what in this case
they may forebode ! if lose the liberty
SO much prize. who knows how soon yor
may have to write my epitaph!"
More than year passed after the ban
quet at the Palazzo Tassoni before the da,
came which was to decide who should be
victor in the strange contest.

Natives at Lake Nyassa, Africa.

-. The chief at the lake, an old man,
came to see us of his own accord, says
a correspondent-said he had heard
that we had come, and sat down under
a tree-and he came to invite us to take
up our quarters with him. Many of
the men are very intelligent-looking,
with high foreheads and well-shaped
heads. They show singular taste in
the astonishingly varied stylesin which
their hair is arranged. Their bead
necklaces are really pretty specimens of
work. Many have the upper and mid
die, as well as the lower part of the ear,
bored, and have from three to five rings
in each ear. The hole in the lobe of
the ear is large enough to admit ones
finger, and some wear a piece of bam-
boo, about an inch long, in it. Brass
and iron bracelets, elaborately figured,
are seen and some of the men sport
from two to eight brass rings on each
finger. and even the thumbs are not
spared. They wear copper, brass and
iron rings on theirlegs and arms many
have their front teeth notched, and
some file them till they resemble the
teeth of saw. The upper lip ring of
the women gives them a revolving ap-
pearance it is universally worn in the
highlands. A puncture is made high
up in the lip, and is gradually enlarged
until the peLeIe can be inserted. Some
are very large. One we measured
caused the lip to project two inches be-
yond the tip of the nose when the lady
smiled, the contraction of the muscles
elevated it over the eyes.
Why do the women wear these
things ?" the venerable chief, Chin
surdi, was asked.
Evidently surprised at such q stupid
question, he replied:
"For beauty They are the only
beautiful things women have Men
have boards, women have none. What
kind of person would she be without
the pelele? She would not be o woman
at all, with a mouth like a man but no
beard !"
One woman having large tin oelele
with bottom like dish, refused to
sell it, because, she said, her husband
would beat her if she went home with
out it. These rings are made of bam-
boo, of iron, or of tin. Their scanty
clothing-the prepared bark of trees,
the skins of animals Chiefly goats), and
o thick strong cotton cloth, are all Of
native manufacture. They seem to be
an industrious race.

A Lawyers Advice,

An Irishman, by the name of Tom
Murphy, once borrowed q sum OF
money from one of his neighbors, which
he promised to pay in certain time.
But month after month passed by, and
no signs of the agreement being kept,
his creditor at last warned him that If
he did not pay it on certain day he
should sue him for it and recover by
law. This rather frightened Tom, and
being able to raise the money, went to
q lawyer to get advice on the matter.
After hearing Toms story through to
the end, he asked him
"Has your neighbor any writing to
show that you owe him this fifty dol
lars2"
"Divil a word," replied Tom,
quickly.
"Well, then, if you have not the
money you can take your time; at all
events, he cannot collect it by law"
"Thank yer honor, much Obliged,
said Tom, rising and going towards the
door.
"Hold on, my trlend, sald IHe law
yer. ,
"Fat for ?" asked Tom, in astonish-
ment.
"You owe me two dollars"
"Fat for?"
"Why, for my advice, to be sure.
Do you suppose I live by charging
nothing ?"
Tom scratched his head for moment,
in evident perplexity, for he had no
money. At last bright idea seemed
to strike him.
can have yees any papers to show
that owes yees two dollars p he ask
ed, with twinkle in his eye.
"Why, of course not but what does
that signify"
"ThinI'll jest be after takin' yer own
advice, an pay neither you nor me
neighbor!" saying which he left the
Office and it's occupant to mediate on
a lawyer taking his own advice and
doctor taking his own medicine.

Texas Cattle Grazing.

Colonel @. @. Fulton writes as fol-
lows to the Baltimore american -
What is regarded as the greatest of all
the cattle ranches in Southern Texas is
that of Captain King, located in Neuces
county, about thirty-eight miles south
west of Corpus Christi, on Santa Ger
t-vde's Crook. Tt is undoubtedly the
prettiest homestead in the country,
surrounded by all the comforts and
luxuries that money can purchase, indi-
eating a refined taste on the part of the
proprietor and his family which is not
usual among the cattle ranches of Texas.
Mrs. King is of Vermont family, and
has become much attached to her Texas
home, where she has reared family of
five children, the elder of which is ap-
preaching maturity.
The dwelling and improvements, as
well as all the out buildings of Captain
Kings place, were constructed with an
especial view to the purposes for which
they were intended, and include q
large brick storehouse. His stables
are of the most modern construction,
as the rearing and improving of the
breed of horses and cattle is part of his
wonderfully extensive business. He
has also slaughter house on his place,
where he disposes of his superbundant
stock, by retaining only the hide, tallow
and bones, and throwing the balance on
the "hash pile"
Captain King has an inclosed pasture
of 70, 900 acres, though he owns about
$50, 600 acres of land in Neuces and
Duval counties. The entire stock held
by him at the present time is $4,000
head of cattle, 20,000head of sheep and
10000 head of horses. He overstocked
his inclosed pasture to such an extent
last fall that he was compelled to turn
great many out "on the range" again,
although he sent 1000 head to Kansas
and slaughtered 1000 head more for
their hides and tallow. He disposes
annually of about 5000 head of cattle,
either by sale or slaughter, notwith-
standing his stock is always on the in
crease. If the shipping of stock is CON-
menced at Corpus Christi he will proba.
bly, find market for some of them
here.
He has recently purchased another
rancho in Cameron county, on which he
has 10000 head more of cattle, and at.
tached to which are about 10000 acres
of land. He is making extensive ex-
periments in the improvement of the
stock of the State, having imported a
great many head of the finest Kentucky
cattle to internnix with the native grades.
The improvement of horse stock is also
commanding much of his attention.
Captain King was formerly steam.
boat captain, but settled in Texas and
turned his attention to cattle grazing
long before the war.
