Garibaldi, bowed down by age and
infirmities, presented a pitiable sight on
his recent visit to Sicily to attend the
celebration Of the ''Vespers." The diff
ficulty of moving him from the railway
coach to the carriage at Palermo caused
him to be placed in the vehicle with his
back to the horses, and it was thought
best not to try to 10Y him around. So
he rode to the villa prepared for him
backward and doubled up with his head
on the knee of his wife, who sat opposite
to him. In sympathy with his suffer-
ings the 10000 persons who had assem-
bled to greet him attempted no demon
stration, but stood in silence, with barred
heads, as their illustrious guest passed
among them.

Envying a Rich Man,

Perhaps the which envy ex-
cites was never more wildly illustrated
than by the remark of q whisky-loving
Irishman. He and a comrade came
across a drunken mar lying on his face
by the roadside, ''He's deadr' said the
comrade. ''Deadr' answered the other,
who had turned the man over and smelt
his breath, II wish l had just half his
disease!'
Rogers, the poet and banker, once ex-
hibited the fault-finding tendency so
common when envy is aroused. He was
at a party when a young duke was an
nounced, who had just attained his ma
jority. A chorus of compliments was
heard-''How handsome!" "He's q
mar of talent!' 'He has a hundred
thousand pounds a year!" Rogers, who
had been cycling the young man with a
I'M which showed that he didn't rel
ish the general admiration bestowed up
on him, at last exclaimed, "'Thank God,
he has bad teethr'
Some years ago there lived a man in
Philadelphia who was envied by hum
dreds. Jacob Ridgeway was worth five
or six millions of dollars, a fortune
WIlCh was bhCu CACCCttu OIl1 w III
rard's and Astor's. Now the most self
ish sort Of envy is that which makes a
man unhappy in view of the wealth of
another, and scores of men thus made
themselves unhappy whenever they
came in contact with MI. Ridgeway.
The following story shows how he re-
proved n who openly expressed this
feeling:
'.Mr. Ridgeway," said q young man
with whom the millionaire was con-
versing, ''you are more to be envied than
any gentleman l know"
''Why SOP" responded Mr.. Ridgeway,
81 am not aware of any cause for which
1 should be particularly envied."
"What, STRIP exclaimed the young
man in establishment. ''Why, you are
a millionaire Think of the thousands
your income brings every month";"
'Well, what of that?" replied Mr..
Ridgeway. ''All 1 get out of it is my
victuals and clothes, and l can't eat
more than one mans allowance and
wear more than o suit ut atime. Pray,
can't you do as muchP"
"Ah, but" said the youth, 'think of
the hundreds of fine houses you own, and
the rentals they bring you"
"What better off am l for thatp" re-
piled the rich man. 81 can only live in
one house at q time; as for the money
l receive for rents, why / can't eat it or
wear it; / can only use it TO buy other
houses for people TO live in; they are tho
beneliciaries, not l."
''But you ear buy splendid furniture,
and costly pictures, and fine carriages
and horses-in fact, anything you de-
sire"
"And after / have bought them,' re-
sponded Mr. Ridgeway, "what thenp I
can look ut the furniture and pictures,
and the poorest man, who is not blind,
can do the same.
II can ride no easier in q fine carriage
than you can in an omnibus for five
cents, without the trouble Of attending
to drivers, footmen and hostlers; and as
to anything l desire l a tell you.

THE PERUVIAN AFFAIR.

senator Blsir. Of New Hampshire, appeared
before the Peruvian investigation and read :
long defense or his action. He admitted hav-
as counsel, but returned It to Shipherd because
Of the probability that the subject would come
up for Congressional action. Senator Blair
testified that tho late Gen. Hurlput had written
him that he could not make Shipherd under
stand that he (HurlbuD could not act IN tho
matter, except under instructions from the
State Department.
Senator Blair vas again before the Foreign
Affairs Committee on tho 4th inst, but his ex-
animation added little, il anything, to the sum
Of human knowledge concerning the affair
under investigation The most important
statement that 10 made was that he
Hurlbut Offering ease, 900 until Dec. 5, when
lac Was at tho house OF Mr.. Blaine, and the
latter called his attention to the letter he had
received, giving the first information about it.
The general drift Of the crosse animation went
70 show that the Senator WAS the dnpe Of tho
willy Shipherd.
The examination Of Senator Blair by the
Foreign Affairs Committee Oh the 9th inst. con-
sisted largely OF the reading Of statistics from
the "Statesman's Year Book aud Spofford's
Almanac rs to the condition and population
Of Peru and Chill, aud catechising Mr.. Blair
with regard to them. Witness thought
there could be no doubt but that English in
tiuence predominated commercially in South
America, and that Chill holds commercial rela-
tions almost exclusively with European ia.
tions, particularly with England. from whom
she has received substantial financial aid
Witness stated that Shipherd placed the amount
OF their claim at 1885, cor, 900, and that Of
Cochcs at Il 900, OOO,OO It was always clear
to him (witness) that they wonld get great
amount OF it. Shipherd indicated a readiness
to take in settlement from Peru whatever
might seem fair.
