Gambetta at Home.
AND THE OLD MAID AUNT WHO SEES TO
HIM.

Gambe.ta Travelled much at an age when
young Frenchmen are locked up in monastic
schools. An uncle, who was engaged in the
Levantine trade, took him often in his voJ-
ages to Greece, Turkey and the Black Sea
cities. He went frequently to Italy, when,
under Cavour's leadership, that country was
rising to active political life, keeping company
with the leading men of the Ligurian towns.
His home education was directed by maiG-
en- aunt, who followed him to Paris on his be-
ing sent here to the bar, and who has ever
since been his housekeeper and monitoress.
There is no household in Paris conducted
with more genuine simplicity and order. The
excellent lady exercising authority therein
does nearly everything; lays hold on Gam
betta's purse whenever the dividends of the
Republique Francaise swell it.; invests the
money she economies for him; takes notes
of bales of letters-letters from constituents,
from patriots, male and female, from foes,
from political friends, from spies, from false
brethren, from lunatics-which are to be
thrown into the fire or answered. Her most
arduous task is acting as a buffer between her
nephew and visitors innumerable, she max
ing herself as agreeable as one so perpetually
numbered can be to those of whose common
sense and sincerity she feels certain, and
showing herself dry and curt to importunate
lion hunters. Mile. Massabie sticks TO her
plain provincial ways, dressing on week days,
no matter that high political fliers she has
to usher in. in black stuff skirt, loose jacket
and clear-starched ituslln cap; and on Sun
days in plain black silk, guiltless OF hounce OF
fr;ll. This worthy lady taught Gambeita to
read and write. His earliest literature was
essentially substantial, his Ictters being
learned on chocolate tablets, which were Civ
EN- him to eat when he knew the word;
stamped On these nutritious sweets. lille
Massabie is proud of her pupil; but in pursu
ance Of her old disciplinary habits, she only
praises him when his back is turned. She
takes his handwriting to be her greatest edu
cational achievement. Gambetta writes :
small, neat, flowing hand, without mucf
flourish in the letter-tails and signature. H'
would, if s'the worst, some day, came to thu
worst'-if law, politics and journalism broke
down-be very competent TO discharge tht
duty of copying clerk in pigeon-dlspatch OF
| fee.
For the most of the time he has been a
| the bar, Gambetta has occupied lodging il
the Rue Montaigne. According to the rul
of the Paris benchers, that every advocat
| must be dams ses meubles, the furniture is h:
| own. Two years ago the whole of it woul,
not have fetched $40. at the auction mart
Since, it has been enriched by valuable patr
| otic gifts-most of them works of art and al
ticles of vertu-and a cheap carpet, wit
some comfortable study chairs and settee t
keep the handsome things in countenance
This lodging is on the second floor The er
