In Verona, Italy, the official intrusted
by the Syndic to issue licenses for mar
riage mixed up the names of the appli-
canta in such a sort that when the day
arrived for uniting number of young
couples, the wrong people found them
selves named in the document, and had
to choose between taking the partners
selected for them or postponing their
marriage for some time. With much
reluctance on the part of some. and Joy
on the part of others, the ceremony was
allowed to proceed. number of people
who had till then been strangers to one
another being declared respectively
man and wife in true Italian form. In
the opinion of the Syndic this was not a
matter of much importance, it being
certain, in that gentlenan's opinion,
that thus mated they would experience
quite as few disappointments as they
would had each chosen their own
mates for life; while by promptly agree
ing to the official arrangement they had
saved the State representatives much
trouble and had not wasted the time of
its clerks in preparing fresh licenses in
return for their fees.

The crowned heads and tho great

excellent reason for desiring the indie

poleon died there. The present En-
peror of Germany, in lS48, found it
convenient to stay there, and when
Bunsen's daughter placed an armchair
for him ut table, pushed it aside, saying
that humility was the order Of the day,
and took an ordinary chair. Ex-Chan-

The firm upon which this distinguish

been contented to await the formal action
of these authorities. Messrs. Hallet d
Davis Co.. of Boston, had too thorough
a knowledge of the worth of their in
struments to worry about the result.
They placed samples of their Grand,

Der of the firm remained behind, nor
came on again.
There stood the pianos, their own ell
oquent evidences of supremacy.
They could afford to bide the calm,
decisive conclusions of the Centennial
authorities, and to wait undisturbed the
official PRONUNCIATION of the same. How
well it pays perfect merit not to fret, Is
best shown by the following literal
transcript of the judges report, Just is
