A BROOKLYN widow who can not bear to
see her husbands empty chair at the table
has pet dog TO cit in it during meal time,

Mrs. EMILY c. KIMBALL, OF Riley, Mich,
deserves 10 go on record as a model American
woman. She is eighty three years of age
and h.a within the last year knitted twenty
fout pairs OF cooks and stosk logs, and msdc
and quilted nine patchwork quilts, some of
them Of very minute pieces and intricate
patterns, beside assisting with the house,
work and doing general sewing for the
family. The old lsdy is better house

MGR. PACINI, the bishop of Leghorp, has
got into a scrape because OF certain words in
his address to the King on the occasion OF
his blessing the Lspanto before she was
launched. The Vatican was we'll pleased
that he should have b~en invited to perform
that ceremony, and quite contented that he
should accept it. But he said to the King:
''Now that Divine Providence, in its in
scrutable counsels, has placed in the hands
of your majesty the destinies of Italy," etc.
That bishop should declare that to have
been done by Divine Providence which the
Holy See considers to have been done by
very different End opposing influences, was,
of course, inadmissible.
"How Mrs. Carlyle could queen it." ex-

age-indeed, year or Two before her death
when she had partly recovered from q
most dangerous illness, midole-sged men OF
she world burst into tears at the sight of her
whom they had never hoped 10 see again,
and quivered all over with the JOY of recov.
ering her. She owed this power Of fascna-

ness and sympathy and partly to her volley
Of gentle scorn."
In 1871, when Lohenqrin was for the first
time produced in Italy (Bologus), Wsguer
wrote letter 10 Boiio, the composer OF Me-
fSt2fsle, ip which the following lines occur:
Twelve years ago Res 'ini told me 10 course
of a conversation, that the degradation of
the musical teste of his count vmen was the
cause OF his repugnance &c produce new
works. L do not believe that there was good
ground for this repuguance. There was no
proof that the Italians had remained insen-
sible 10 the noble manifestations of art that
came 10 them. When l discovered what an

liberal and extremely delicate capacity for

The man was gone about an hour end hall,
and gave as an excuse for his delay that he
had TO walk the horses every step Of the way
back, for fear that the sick woman inside
would get shaken up too much, as she seemed
to be so bad when they put her 10.
