The Dying Queen of Naples.
London World.

The Ex-Queen of Naples lies in an al
most hopeless condition at Vienna. It
is considered by her physicians improb-
able that she will recover. Her Majes-
ty has long been known to suffer from
consumption, and with the present fall
of leaves her condition mas assumed
such an alarming character as to leave
no hope whatever. The Count and
Countess de Chambord have been tele-
graphically summoned to her bedside.
It is no mystery that hers is the likeness
attempted by NJ. Alpbonse Daudet in
his novel just published with such con-
siderable success, Lies Rois en- Exil.;
She bears in it the transparent pseu-
donym of the Queen of 1llyria. The
work by the way, is very clever and
Interesting one; and while carefully
avoiding the coarseness and naughtiness
of the lola school gives a graphic &C.
count Of the realities of fast life in the
higher circles Of cosmopolitan society in
Paris. Several ''keys" to the characters
introduced in the book are already cur
rent, as was the case with the previous
novel of the author, lie Nabob," but it
is perfectly obvious to the Unlisted that
the intention of the writer was by no
means to limit himself to the portraiture
of living models and the attempt at put

book is somewhat hopeless. Some of

A God Of the Philistines.
Fall Mall Gazette,

An interesting archaeological discovery
is reported from Palestine. An Arab
who was qua1rying stone the other day
at place about four and a half miles
from GAIA, unearthed a marble figure
supposed to be q colossal god of the
Philistines. The dimensions of the
figure are as follows: Three feet from
the top of it's head to the end of it's
beard; 81 inches from ear to ear; 49,
inches from top OF forehead to mouth:
81 inches from shoulder to shoulder 81
inches from crown of head to waist;
and 81 inches the circumference of the
neck. The total height of the figure is
fifteen feet. The hair hangs in long
ringlets down the shoulders, and the
beard is long, indicating a man of ven-
cradle age. The right arm is broken in
half, while the left arm is crossed over
the breast to the right shoulder, where
the hand is hidden by the drapery of g.
cloth covering the shoulders. There is
no inscription on the figure of the Pc
destal, which is huge block carved in
one piece with the figure. The statue
was found in q recumbent position, bur-
led in the sand upon the top of hill
near the sea. It had evidently been re-
moved from it's original site, which is
unknown. Its estimated weight is 49,
600 pounds. The Pasha of Jerusalem
has ordered a guard to watch this relic
of ancient art and prevent an injury to
it by the fanatics of GAIA.

$S4o shipped scS by Hershey nav Co.

The Duke and Duchess of 3uccleueh
will celebrate their golden wedding soon.
It will be an event of national import
ance, for the bold Buccleugh is the pre-:
mier Duke of Scotland-at least in
wealth and social political weight, if not
in heraldic degree. The Duke is lord
of $50, 900 acres, from which he draws
q rental of e230,O00 a year.

if you will come. You know you are
the Joy Of my life. Darling, if you

heart about his affairs as if pursuing
successfully a lawful occupation.
