The Duke came from Lon Ion to New
York in 1853 and lived for time ut
the Aston House somewh t splendidly.
He was accompanied by beautiful
Persian girl, who was generally sup
posed to b. the Duchess OF Calabritti.

the Dukes money began to be ex-

determined to settle down here. His

years ago he built his present house,
which has become celebrated for its
excellent French and italian dinners,
for it's choice wines, and, above all, for
its macaroni, in the cooking of which,
the Duke is an adept. He goes to the
market himself every morning. accom-
! panied by his servant. and selects his
own meat, game, and vegetables. As a
rule, he superintends only the general
arrangements of the house; but on
special occasions, when distinguished
gentlemen ore his guests, he not only
cooks the macaroni himself, but also
waits upon the table. On such an oc-
casion one day there CHANGED to be pres

was making pleasure trip in the
United States. The families of Caraffa
and Pignatelli had been very intimate
in old times in Naples, and when the
Duke of Forli was boy the Duke of
Calabritti, then in his prime, was o
visitor at the Palazzo Policastro. As
soon as the elder duke saw the younger
duke sit down at the table he eyed
him anxiously; and during the whole
diuner he never took his eyes off of
him. When the desert was brought
the Duke of Forli looked up, and his
eyes met those of the landlord aud
waiter.
