WHAT rs GOING ON IN EUROPE.
The excitomont caused bv tho publication

Tho excitement caused by the publication
OF Col Haymere's pamphlet. =" Italicm Res"
has not yot subsidized. The Italia Irredenta
party. rs the party in Italy which seeks to wrcst
| from Austria the unredecmcd" Italian prov
| inces is called, has been stirred to new activity.
An answer to Col. Haymerle's books has been
published under the title Of Pro Patria." Tho
masses of the Italian people have shown that
their sympathies are with the Irredenta party.
| and 1t is feared that any spark may cause n con-
| fiaRration. At a meeting OF the Peace League Mt
| Naples there was almost riot. and the meeting
| broke up In confusion. At other places in Italy
| demonstrations against Austria have become
| frequent. so much 80 that tho redeeming" Of
| Trieste and portion OF the Tyrol is fast taking
| on the magnitude OF national aspiration. At
the same time tho press is strongly in favor OF
| peace. and dwells upon the necessity for self
control and quiet. A writer in tho Dirito says:
Italy does not desire particular alliances. pre-
| cisely because she desires to preserve friend
ship with all powers" And Mr.. Gladstone. who
| upon his return from Italy, was interviewed by
reporter OF the Gdulois. said he was satisfied
| that no disturbance OF the peace OF Europe
| would be caused by the Italia Irredenta party
The King and Queen OF Italy are great favor
| ties with their people. and Queen Margherita is
particularly beloved. 1t will be remembered
that the King. when Prince Humbert, was be-
| trothed to the Archduchess Matilda the daugh-
| ter OF Prince Albert OF Austria and that the in
| tended bride died from injuries caused by her
dress having caught fire. Atthat time the young
| Princess Margherta was living in Turin with
| hor mother, the Duchess OF Genoa and study
| ing hard under the care OF q German governess
| How well she employed her time is shown by
| her numerous accomplishments. Her literary
ability is by no means despicablc In recent
talk with writer who had dedicated a book to
| her. she said:

The royal couple have only ono child-victor
Emanuel. Prince Of Naples. heir apparent to
the Italian throne. He is now in his eleventh
| year.
The resignation OF Gen. Cialdini the Italian
Minister in Paris. has at last been accepted. and
he is to be succeeded by the Chevalier di Nigra.
who formerly held the same position for many
years. NRra is not . man OF noble birth. but
| he is remarkable for his polished manners and
| perfect breeding. During the Empire he was
prime favorte at the Tuileries; and 1t was the
| Chevalier who. with the assistance OF Prince
Metternich. helped the Empress Eugenie to es
| cape on the famous 4th OF September. 1870.
| When the small party consisting OF the En-
| press, Madame le Breton. and the two diplo-
mats. reached the door Of the Louvre, Meter
| mich ran around the corner for his brougham.
and during his absence a small urchin passing
| by recognized the Empress. Nigra. afraid OF
| discovery. hailed a passing fdc1'e. and insisted
| upon the Empress and her companion entering
it. NiGra was trained by Cavour whose secre-
tary he was at one time. and like all that dis
| tingushed statesman's pupils is an artist in
diplomacy.
Two more American girls are about to acquire
coronets by marriage. Don Philippe de Bour-
bon is to marry Miss Aver. daughter of the in
ventor of Ayers Cherry Pectoral." from the
sale Of which an enormous fortune has been
made; and Lord Wentworth is engaged to the
daughter OF Presbyterian preacher. Miss
Fletcher who. under the name of " George
Fleming" has written two novels. American
coin and talent arc making their way among
the arlstocracy OF Europe.
The late Zulu war is to have its chief Incl
dents immortaized by no less than four ar
lists. Mrs. Butler Of " Roll Call " fame has
had a commission from Queen Victoria to paint
the scene at the defence OF Rorkes Drift, and
Prince Imperial's death attracted so much at
tention, is engaged on the same subject. In
addition to this home talent, English bravery is
TO be celebrated by the famous French military
painters Detaille and de Neuville The sub
iect Of their pictures also is the defence at
Rorke's Drift. but Of course the treatment will
be altogether different and comparison be-
tween the four efforts will be interesting.
Madrid is plunged in woe. and nothing can
ossuaGe the general sorrow over the death of
Frascuclo. the most famous of toreros. He was
badly gored by n ferocious bull the animal
taking him on his horns. tossing him and catch
ing him again as he fell. 1t was with the great
est difficulty that the attendants were able to
prevent the nfuriated animal from goring him
q second time The torero was carried
first to q neiGhborinG hospital and after
wards to his own magnificent residence
in the Gale dc la Montcra. He fingered
for three weeks. and bulletins announcing his
condition were issued several times day until
his death. While he lay dying his house was
besieged by callers. the King sending three
times day to ask how he was. and the Duke
de Sesto calling personally as often. Frascuelo
was n wonderful favorite with the people OF
Madrid-rich and poor alike. He was remark
able for his great personal beauty. and for his
wonderful agility. A pet trick with him was to
seize the bull by the tail. causing him to turn
round and round in n circle. and then leap on
| the animals back. his dress was OF the most
gorgeous and expensive kind. and he con-
stanty wore tho diamond studs given him by
the ex-Queen Isabella and said to be. worth
$4,000. As he had acquired good deal OF
property both in Madrid and Seville, he has left
n large fortune estimated at 5000 600.
Tho Prince OF Wales and the CZarewitch arc
said to have been delighted with NJ. Grcvy the
President OF the French Republic. NJ. GrGvy
is q keen sportsman. and detests anything in
tho shape of the modern Jattue or Wholesale
slaughter OF game, There is never a great
plenty OF game in France. and this year 1t is re-
markably scarce. This dearth affords the
comic illustrated papers plenty OF subjects. a
favorte one being a sketch OF two gendarmes
escorting hare lest some sportsman may
shoot him. NJ. Greyy. therefore. could not
offer his illustrious guests any such shooting
as they are accustomed TO in the Russian for
ests and the Scotch moors. but. for all that, his
shooting party Mt Marly proved n great success

to divide his bottle Of Basss ale with the Prince
