THE DEMONS or LORRAINE.

From The Sdtr day Recteto
Charles H. Duke of Lorraine travelling in disguise
oger his dominIons, found lodging one night IN n
farmers house He was surprised to find that after
he had supped, q second supper far more carefully
prepared than his own WAS laid on the table. Ho
asked the farmer If he expected more guests. NO."
replied the farmer; "but it is Friday, and every
week on this day and at this hour the demons have
an interview with the wizards of the nelghoorhood
in the forest hard by. They dance the devils
dance aud then break up into four bands. The first
of these bands comes 10 supper here the other three
90 10 farms not far from mine" On this Charles
inquired IL they paid for what they ate. On the
contrary" replied the farmer, they carry OIL
whatever they may take fancy to, and II they
choose to be discontinued with what we give them,
we have bad time OF II. What can one do when
one has to deal with wizards and demons "
After hearing this. " lie prince, etOnne. vouut,

lowers 20 ride full speed TO TOu about three leagues

Some were got mp TO look like bears some had horns
aud some had claws. No sooner had they sat down
10 the supper prepared for them than Charles's
eouerry reappeared followed by troop OF gen,
darmes. The Duke then observed. with great good
sense that this sitting down 10 supper OF sorcerers
and demons was very incongruous, and had them
all arrested. More arrests followed this, and the
demonaical ceebrators of the " Sabbat" turned out

THE AUTHOR or "DR ANTOyIOp

Linda VfHari in The Acddeny
On the 81 inst. at Tagga, near San Reno, died
Giovanni Ruihni, the patriot novelist M the age of
seyeniy-fOur For many years Ill health had con-
fined him to a luded life on the sunny shore SO
eloduenty described III Doctor Antonio" and he
had somewhat slipped ont Of sight OF the Italian
literary word. RuifnTs position as writer was
always an exceptional one. An Italian writing ia
English treating of Italian themes for an English
public, and with the ayOwed purpose of enlistng
English sympathy in the cause of Italian freedom,
he shared the fate OF AL who write for purpose.
and his quickly earned fame passed away with the
transition period that had given it BIRTH His first
book Lorenzo Beuoni,p mainly founded on events
of his own youth, owed much of its popularity
TO the moment of its appearance, for published In
1888 II caught at its height the tide OF English en-
thIlsasm for the Italian cause. graphic picture OF
Italian life. penned in idomatic English by a high
minded gentleman earning the bread OF exile as a
teacher OF his native tongue, IL aroused general as
well as literary interest. And when il was known
that the adventures and escape OF Lorenzo Benoni
were actually part of the authors own experiences
that interest increased Stimulated by this first
success Signor Ruiini then produced his chef
d'muyre. doctor Antonio" a romance of true
setting He never again rose to the same height of
inspiration. HIS succeeding Yincenzo,"
" Tayiniar etc--were merely clever, well-written
books, with occasional touches of humor and pathos
In fact his literary gift was OF the purely emotional
kind. born rather of the promptlngs of the heart
than of the intellect. Consequently, he could not
write in cold blood could not deal successfully with
subjects outside the Of his own feelings and
perience Nevertheless, all his works are eminently
readable, always distinguished by simplicity Of
style and purity of tone.
RufiinPs literary activity waned before he was
attacked by the lingering disease that caused his
death. "A Nook IN the Jura' and "Carlinop both
slight, though graceful works, were the only pro-
auctions of his old Italy had won her freedom
SO the motiye-power of his labor was at an end.
