my carriage was surrounded by patrol

On the 22d of May, 1859, he was dead.
Dead, no doubt, of disease not un-

truth, by the charge of the Chasseur

sOlemnly munching apples from sense
of duty. My idea is that nothing eaten
from a sense of duty ever did man
much good. He had much better have
sense of appetite. Fruit is especially
injurious to many dyspeptics. It's not
concentrated food-not nutritious
enough. If man is 80 unfortunate as
to be excessively costiVe, apples will
doubtless purge him, but that is very
different from being easy of digestion.
In place of eating apples for that pur-
pose let him drink sweet cider, which
will not at least load his stomach with
a hard and for him almost indigestible
substance containing little nutritiVe
value.
Most dyspeptics are physically weak.
AS their food does not properly digest
they get too little nutrition, and thus
their digestive organs constantly grow
weaker. 1t is not true that they gen
orally eat to much. Whatever they eat
more than their stomaChs will digest
is of course too much; but generally
indigestion results from improper Sc
lection of foods, rather than from ex-
cessive quantity. Dyspeptics who
starve themselves make a great mis-
take. Their disease is itself a slow
process of starvation, from the non-use
of the food which they eat. Give such
men the kinds of food which their
crave, rather cautiously at
first, and increase the amount as their
digestive organs will bear it, and they
will soon begin to improve. Good, east
ly-digested food, eaten with relish, is
the best possible prescription for dys-
peptic.
Meats are better, because more stimu-
lating, than bread and potatoes. Es-
fat meats as pernicious, the
lean of meats, and especially poultry or
game, will give a better appetite to
most dyspeptics than any other kind of
food. Of course as soon as possible
bread, potatoes and other foods should
be added, to give variety; but if only a
few mouthfuls can be taken, it is best
TO have it both concentrated and stimu-
ating. Cakes should be avoided; so
should pies and pastry EGGnairaer and

A Chapter for Dyspeptlcs.

A Spanish proverb pronounces the
man blessed who does not know that he
has stomach. For those unfortunate
enough to possess that knowledge, no
absolute rules can be given. The safest
that l know is to eat what the appetite
relishes, and what experience has
proven satisfactory. On no account let
any one be tempted to eat what he does
not relish. Taste is one of the most i'm
portant aids to digestion. Now I can
prove from the books that butter and
all fats are as nearly indigestible as
anything used as foods can be. But
not one man in a hundred will digest q
dry crust as quickly as he will one that
is well covered with good rich favored
butter, All that the argument against
the digestibility of butter is good for, is
against the use of poor butter-that
against which the potato revolts.
The popular tables, showing the COM
parative digestibility of different foods.
have Just this use. The dyspeptic may
look over the list, and select therefrom
of the most nutritious and easily di-
gested foods those which his appetite
most Graves. If he is not hungry, let
him wait until he is. There is no use
in hurrying to eat before the appetite
has come. Better wait. and let the ap-
petite do the hurrying, as it surely viii.
Some regard must be had to other
considerations If the stomach is weak
the food should be more concentrated,
and if somewhat stimulating all the bet
ter. A great deal has been written
about the excellence Of efruits IS
aids to digestion, and as a result

The Torture Of a King.

King Ferdinand III. of Naples was a
warm admirer and close i1nitator of
Nicholas the Gear, as we'll as his per-
sonal friend. In bulk and dignity of
port the Sicilian King was second only
to the Gar. His face bore very strong
likeness to the portraits of the Emperor
Nero. His rule was personal. His la
bor was immense, commencing, in
summer at all events, at four &, M,
and so complete and Jealous was his
supervision of kingdom which was
regarded as a personal estate, that it
used to be said that not pump could
be fixed by a municipality without the
express permission Of the King. In his
rule King Ferdinand was aided, to an
extent difficult for English people to-
realize, by the clergy both regular and
secular. Obedience to the Church was
the first requisite to obtain the favor of
the King. In return, the police of the
Church was more subtle and universal
than even that of the mouchards.
On the 9Th of December, 1856, I was
present at grand military mass on
the Campo di Mario, near Naples. At
the head of brilliant staff King Fer
dinand held a review on that day of
some 10000 of his troops. As the third
Regiment of Chasseurs-a regiment
specially formed by General Nunziante
to replace the Swiss troops as body
guard for the King-was marching past
The Royal station, a private in the
fourth file from the King calling out:
"One, two, three, fourT' rushed across
the rank, and charged His Majesty with
the bayonet. In my opinion it was the
heavy and numbering character of the
saber-bayonet alone that saved the
King. He was just grazed, he after
ward tOldme, on the left of his abdomen.
An officer pushed his horse against the
assassin, who was knocked down and
secured. For the moment the conduct
of the King was admirable. He drove
at once through Naples in q small
phaeton, with no escort-a thingwhich |
he had not done for many months. He |
threw open his palace to receive all |
who came TO congratulate him on his |
escape. His apartments were crowded, !
and the King moved through the |
throng, speaking to every one. Ad-
dresses rained on the palace from all
the provinces Of both the Sicilies.
Then came reaction. In the February
following the attack 1 had another
audience Of the King, who was then in J
