THE italian papers abound with
incidents in Victor Emanuel's life.
When Theirs visited him, he said
the late King was "the plus fin of
political men," Cavour said Of
him: HE allows us to 60 ahead
until we are compelled to stop; then
he undertakes to show us the way,
and it is always the right one."
The title of "Gentleman King" so
frequently applied to Victor Emap-
uel, originated soon after the bat
tie Of Novara, when, experimenting
the possibility of becoming only q
vassal of Austria, he called d'Aze-
Clio to the head of his government.
To that diplomat he said: "Ther6
are SO few gentlemen Kings that IL
would be we'll to begin the line
The evening Charles Albert fled to
Portugal, Victor Emanuel, on
leaving Radetzki's tent, exclaimed
"No; I do not want to be King
of Sardinia. You once told my
father that Italy was his. Nearly
true! for italy shall be mine"

upbraided him for his stubborness,
and said he should be shot for being
so fOol-hardy as to fight against so
many. Citizens living near had
heard the firing, and, repairing to
the place after 1t was over, took
charge of the Doctor. 1t was many
months before he could report for
duty, and then it was with a MAIN
ed limb which promised to trouble
him through life."
DIR. Stairway was of o convivial
disposition, and made friends of all
with whom he came in contact.
He was generous to a fault, and 1t
was doubtless owing to this trait in
his character that, while enjoying
many years of well-paid practice,
he failed to accumulate any con-
siderable means. Were it not for
a life insurance policy, hisexecutor
would find comparatively little to
collect from his estate, but, as it is,
we are glad to say that his widow
Is left with assurances of a good
support. The Doctor was noted for
his liberality to the poor, and it is
said that, altogether, he gave as
many prescriptions gratis as
he entered upon his books. His life
was one of never ending exertion.
Bending himself to the capricious
demands of his profession, he
worked when he should have slept;
kept himself at the height of ner-
vous tension when his fatigued
spirit cried out for repose and quiet
in short over-strained and wore
out his powers of physical endur-
ance and thus incurred death when
the days of his natural life were but
halfnumbered. AS it was said OF
the Great Physician Of Galilee

New YORK, Feb. 23.-The 1ri-

ing o. the prospects of the silver

to believe that the President will
not only veto the bill as IL has

will send it back to the House of
Representatives with ringing

to his objection to the bill, what

to step aside from the beaten track

The Struggle for Peace.

LONDON, Feb. 23d,-A we'll in
formed Vienna correspondent af-
firms that Safvet Pasha still hesi-
tates to sign Gen. Ignatieff's condi-
tons defining the eastern and
southern limits of Bulgaria, and
says the conditions prescribe the ex-
pulsion, practically, of the entire
Mussulman population. The idea of
the Sultan's withdrawal TO Bros
seau Is again mooted.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. est is
positively maintained that, de-
spite the statement in the British
Parliament, the arrangement be-
tween England and Russia is by no
means perfect; that the announce
ment of the Muscovite intenti on
occupy Constantinople has caused
the whole affair to enter upon q
new phase, and that in consequence,
the British squadron has again re-
turned to Princess Island. Gen.
Ignatieff's dragoman is at Constan-
tinople pressing Turkey to come to
a speedy decision. The Times and
Telegraph both regard the situation
as very unsatisfactory. The Tele-
graph says that nothing could we'll

draft Of the peace conditions con-
tanned q stipulation that the six
principal Turkish iron.clads should
be coded to Russia, on the ground
that otherwise the Porte might sell
them to England. The Sultan OBJ
jected to this stipulation. He sta
ted that he would prefer to destroy
the vessels, and promised not to
transfer them to any foreign power.
The incident terminated by the
Sultan undertaking not to sell the
iron.clads to England, in consider
alton of which Russia withdrew
her demand for immediate cession.
1t is understood that the treaty OF

notoriety through the efforts Of John
Vine Hall, commander Of the Great East

habitual drunkenness that his most ear

OF an eminent physician, who gave him q
prescription-which he followed faith
fully for seven months, and at the end Of
that time had lost all desire for liquor,
