girl. Shortly after came a letter from
her guardian with such accounts of the
young mans behavior with the girl of
whom Lillian bad been jealous that the
engagement was broken off.
She told most OF our fortunes in her
sleep; but in my case, am bound to con-
TESS, without success. Whether she was
more correct in regard to herself, / do
not know. She foretold that she would
be killed by fall from her horse at the
age of thirty. But it seemed unlikely
she would live to that age if ner som

frances she often bad the most fearful
illness, both heart and brain being affect

came on after = trance she had fallen IN
TO at church; she walked, still asleep out
with us afterwards, but unlucilky, woke
in the Champs Elysees, and was so terri
fed that it was with difficulty we got her
home. When at length we did so, she
had terrible illness, fom which she
was scarcely expected to recover. She

ception-that of a Young man, the par
ticulars of whose story, however, do not
know. The disease (Hor such, Of course
it was,) was accounted for by them as the
result of an over amount Of brain, caus-
ing consequent pressure. Shc may be
said to have brain for waking purposes,
and one that acted when she was asleep.
What one brain knew the other did not.
Evidently the sleeping brain was the CT ev-

active, she was in state of somnam 5u.

possibly have been attempted in her wax

course, unnatural; it was diseased -very
curious and unhealthy. The ceverest

Tell me what to do, sir?"
BUah looked him over from head to
foot, made a mental guess at his age and
weight, and finally replied:
sinister man, my advice to you is TO
begin to lay in turnips, Eaters and beans
fer Winter use, and to let this country
strictly alone. It's none O. your business
to save her, sir-none o. your business
what becomes OF her !"
"But won't you advise me, sir ~
"Yes, you bet / will. Go home, or
somewhere and get on a clean shirt Go
and get your hair cut and your face
washed Go and fill your lankness with a
free lunch, and you m ight hire a boy to
hoe the mud off them boots Save this
country! Why, sir, you coaldn't save

quarter of section one of mud hole?"
"Mr. Joy, do 1 deserve this!' 80
Yes, and more, too ! There are a doz-
en- more just like you around town I!
They are always talking about this poor
country, ard wanting some one to save
her, while their wives and children go
hungry for bread and SILVER all Winter

"Mr. Joy, won't you let me save this
country !"

"Can IT be patrot?"
"No. sir"

The man paused for while, and then
in sad voice he asked:
"Mr. joy, believe you could lend me
quarter if you tried awful hard ~
The old mau grew black and blue in
the face, but suppressing his emotions
after moment he forced smile and re-
piled:
please come on. into the back yard.

OF thieves.
Ho started out, q diabolical grin on his
mouth, but the man who wanted to save
the country made sudden break for the

Condition and Prospects OF
n ufnuvl

During the reign of Victor Emanuel
| the finances of Italy were in that chronic
state of continuous embarrassment which
| is tersely expressed by the phrase "from
bad to worse" The State allowance to
the sovereign was So, 400 900, besides rent
| free, occupancy of several palaces, which
were kept in repair at the public expense
and also the cost of his journeys into the
| different provinces. This very large
grant justified by the fact that the reign
ing family surrendered its large private
domains to the State. in 1913, was made
quate for the late Kings lavish and
thoughtless outlay, and his debts had oc-
casionally to be paid out of the public
treasury. Moreover, since the establish
ment OF the kingdom, in 1871, there have
been animal deficits varying from S.
715, 900 to Sf22, 800 900. In 1866 the nat
ional expenditure exceeded the national
income by Sl25, ,142 900, but in 1877
the deficit was only S13, ,247 800. On the
death of Victor Emanuel, the fiscal con-
dition of Italy was all sat SKIES and sew
| ems" The ministry, inefficient and un-
popular, had to be dismissed, and the
| present Cabinet, of which Signor Carroll
| is head, was not constituted until March
| 21. On June 3. Sinor Sesmit Doda, Man
lister of Finance, opened tho National
Budget, and his statement created sur
prise and qualification, as well it might.
The budget for 1883 shows n surplus
of ~ 070 600 instead of 81 ,760, 900, which
the preceding minister had anticipated.
There is expected to be, in the year now
begun, an increase of about S12 200, 900,
from new legislation, from ordinary re-
ceipts, and from an improved system of
collecting the imposts Out of this in
creased income, S4,600,000 will be EN-
ployed in reducing taxation, the remain
der to be applied chiefly to reducing the
deficit in the treasury. New railroads
are to be made. a measure will be IN
troduced in November for improving the
condition of the lower clergy. A great
portion of the grist tax will be abolished,
as also the duties on the expectation of
several kinds of agricultural produce ,and
of navigation dues on rivers, lakes and
canals. To crown all, the Minister of
Finance int mated that he would present
a bill for an Universal Exhibitionin n Rome
in 1881, and another authorizing the ne
cessary improvements to make Rome
worthy of its position as the capital of
United Italy. King Humburt, it is wor-
thy of notice, contents himself with a
''civil list, voluntarily, much lower than
his father found inadequate. The allow
ance of S645,OO0 per annum, voted by the
parliament to the Pope, and not accept
ed, is paid over to the 'asse ecclesiastical"
(until, if ever, il is called for, and the
| national debt of Italy amounts to $4,000 :
900. On the whole, Italy appears to be
in fair way of going out of the shade
