Princess Clothilde Napoleon, the eldest
daughter Of Victor Emanuel, whom sangulne
Italians call rather prematurely the Bin
press Clothilde,' resides, says Figaro, At
Moncalieri, ia northern Italy. The Old castle
Of Moncalieri is situated on an emlnence
commanding the small town Of that name
on the banks Of the Pc, about four
kilometres from Turin. One reaches the an
cient edifce BY means Of an elevated path
way overshadowed with dropping boughs.
The wife Of Prince Napoleon is the object
of universal admiration and respect in Pied.
mont. Her austere life is passed in solitude,
in prayers and in good works. Her sole
companion at present is q certain Baroness
B.. who, though past the prime of life, still
retains much of the yiyacity Of youth. 1t is
her devotion to the princess that induces her
to exchange the excitement of Partisan lire
tor the monotony OF Moncalleri. The prln-
cess, however, allows her maid of honor to
receive company once q week, on when oc-
caaion the draWlng-room OF the Old castle pc
comes q rendezvous for the grand danes OF
Turin, who delight in gossiplng there over
the new and scandals Of the day. once OF
twice during the season the baroness even
obtains permission to attend some neighbors
| ball or reception, upon the condition., hOW-
ever, Of returning at midnight. II IS said
that, before letting her companion 60, the
scrupulous princess makes 8 close survey Of
her toilet, adding here and there with 9 pin
or stitch, the careful primness which the
lively baroness cannot herself impart to her
attire. Thus one sees the old lady arrive at
the Duke of Aosta's ball as trim as q girl in
her first train dress, and, like Cinderella,
looking anxiously atthe big clock for the IA
tai hour Of midnight.
Princess Clothilde's private apartment has
been transformed by her order into a verlta-
BILE nuns cell. All it contains is a little iron
bedstead, two chairs, a table and q prle-dleu.
Every morning before dawn this royal re-
cluse, escorted by a servant carrying a Ian
tern, leaves the palace and goes to hear mass
at the chapel of the Carmelites at Moncallerl.
After that most of her time is spent in tend
ing the sick and infrm who live in the VI
cinity.
King Humbert, who is very fond Of his
sister, visits her as often as he can. The
princess is also visited once q year during the
holidays by her sons, who are brought by
their father, Prince Napoleon himself. The
two young princes, Victor and Charles,
| are aged respectively Is and is. The first re.
sembles his maternal grandfather, Victor
Emanuel, while the latter has the features Of
q Bonaparte, bearing even 9 great likeness
to the first consul. Marie LRtitia, the only
daughter and youngest child Of Princess
Clothilde, is II years Of age and an intelligent
and viVacious girl.

a Remarkable Crop Report.
TNew York Herald.l

A remarkable case of surgery was per-
formed in Rome on Monday. Louis Gleas-
man, who lives in the Gleasman-Hower
block, has been annoyed by the presence of
rats from the canal, and in order to rid his
premises of them prepared some poison and
placed where they would be apt to find it.
Before the rats were cleaned out, however,
the hens swallowed some of the poison and
died. A large fine rooster also ate some, n
become quite i%ndisposed, and fears Of death
were entertained. Mr.. Gleason had a niece
living with him, and his father, who is an
aged gentleman. Both Of the latter disliked
to lose the fine fowl; and resolved to use
their utmost endeaVOrs to save his life. The
two experienced little difficulty ia catching
the rooster, and when caught the old gentle
man acted as assistant surgeon, while the
young lady performed the delicate operation.
She first cut into the fowls breast, removed
the crop, in which also an incision was made
and the contents thereof removed. The in
side of the crop was then thoroughly washed
and freed from all substances. Then q small
quantity Of food was inserted IN the crop, the
ineision seWed up and the crop replaced in
| the ROSTERS breast and the cut in the breast
closed. After this had been done the rooster
was set free, but soon after was discovered
to be picking the stitches out, and he was
again made q captive, bandages being ap-
piled. The fowl then went about scratching
for food as usual and appeared as well yes
terday as though he had not been made the
subject Of the knife. He has not been heard
to crow since he underwent the operation.
However improbable the story may seem, il
IS nevertheless true as the rooster will show
for himself.

Tragic scenes happen nowadays which pc
gin with the dropping of a handkerchief, In
ancient times when q knight errant riding
abroad discovered q handkerchief floating
from the tower of a castle he knew some
fair damsel was in distress. and he CALAMITY
rode to the rescue, and by proves or strate-
gy released her, and as q romantic sequel car
ried her off as his bride. Now the knight is
usually a young man with q tendency to gid
diness, and the fair damsel wears q poke bon
net and walks along serenely, with 9 self
satisfied smile on her peachy lips.
But the heart feels most when the lips
speak not and both are adopts in q Ian
guage originated by school girls, put
ssspoken'' universally-the language OF the
handkerchief-of which the following is an
initial chapter:

TWirling g it in both hands, indifference.
Letting it rest on the right cheek, yes.
On the left cheek, no.

After all the best and legitimate use of the
handkerchief and the safest is that which
Hood embodies in his famous "Ode to My
Little Son."

IA fan has been ordered in Parls by the
Empress Eugene as 9 present to- the frlncess
Beatrice. 1t Is pronounced to be an exquisite
work OF art, painted By Albert from 9 design
by Lelois. Lit is mounted in Whlte-mother-oI-

pink convolvulas, and the royal crown,
which terminates the handle, Is composed or

The faYorite fashion for spring weddings
is to dress the bridesmaids ID short-Walsted
muslin trocks, long gloves and poke bonnets,
after the Kate G~reenaway and Walter Crane
pictures. Indeed, one or two brides have
worn these exquisitely-becoming things
the white poke bonnet. The whole scene
becomes q picture it the bridesmaids are thus
gotten up. 1t is certainly very pretty.
Among the costumes for girls to wear in
the country is the Tslly-ho. 1t is made or
two distinct colors, one of which is DULL and
the other bright. A short skirt OF the dull
is laid in very wide box-plaits, the plain
spaces between the plalts being Of the bright.
A broad sash of the latter is carried loosely
around the upper part Of the skirt, and knot
ted negligentIy at one side, and the waist is
snirred like q baby's.
Some OF the finest hose lately imported
have handsome cOlors ia the new shaGed ef-
fects. For instance, the hues change gradu-
ally from a dainty rose pink toe up along 9
deepening red over the ankle and calf to 8
rich crimson at the knee, steadily gathering
in gloom from the exposed sunlight Of the
region. Striped and checked stockings are
to be displaced by these shaded ones.
Would any one like to know what the ex-
act costume of the Czarina and Grand Ouch
esses will be for the first six months of

Master of the ceremonies, has decreed that it
must consist of black flannel, with long
sleeves buttoned to the wrist, and a train four
feet long. Collar and cuffs of fine cambria,
with wide hens; bonnet of black crepe, with
a pointed b~andeau, and lined with black silk;
two thick black crepe wells, one to fall over
the face, and the other long enough to cover
the whole dress; gloves, shoes and fans Of the
most rigid sable. At the end Of eighteen
weeks cachenlire may be substituted for fan.
ne', and six weeks later black silk will be al.

what a world Of harm it has done first and

Many q fair name has been ruined, many q
happy home broken up, through that which
should have stood for a signal Of danger
the wave of a handkerchief, diverted from
its original use and employed by idle fin.
gers in the service of folly. There is a
story told Of what a gallant Union soldier
who fell hopelessly in love with the beauti-
fal daughter of a Confederate General, and
carried on by handkerchief signals a sys-
tenn Of correspondence that betrayed his
regiment into the hands Of the enemy; as
a reward for his faithfulness to duty, he
was admitted to a secret trust with his love
from which he never returned. A North
ern poet has told the sequel in verse:
And from the easement futters
a square Of cambria white.
1t is her handkerchief that gives
Loves signal call tonight;
But mott for love brave soldier,
She lures you to her side;
That flag of truce, upon the morn,
Your pale dead face Will hide.
Owen Meredith, in his tragic verse Of
the Count Rinaldo Rinaldi, thus sanctions
the use OF the romantic kerchief:
He drew from his bosom a kerchief-
.eWould,' he sighed. sthat her face was less fair!
That her face was less hopelessly fair
An folding his kerchief, he covered
The eyes of Mnemosyne there.
