THE coRsINI LIBRARY.

A fine proof of the esteem in which the gov
eminent is held has just been given by Prince
Corsini whom l mentioned as throwing open
his gallery to the public. This gentleman
lives in Florence, and his Roman villa, though
very beautiful, had for a long time been I'M
used and merely a source of expense to its
owner 1t has, therefore, been sold to the gov
ernment--the villa, the garden and the pic
lures being included in the sale--for the sum
of two and half million francs or half mill
ion dollars. In this action there is, of course
no conspicuous allegiance to the government;
that came later, and consisted in Prince Corsi-
mis- assumption that, in parting with his gal
lery, he parted also with his library and en-
cravings. The library is beautiful, large and
costly one. large part of it is of incaleula-
BILE value, because it consists of manuscripts;
as part of the engraving collection is inyal-
liable, because it consists of unique eotempo-
rary engravings of pictures, since destroyed,
but known to have been painted by the old
masters. For instance, few half days in Rome
can be more delightful than sunny afternoon
in the Corsini library, spent in examining
Mare Antonio's engrayings of Raphaefs pic
lures, particularly If yon have spent the morn

Corsini library you learn with delight from

in 1881 and 1882, 794,900; in 1888
and 1884, 1,4iS,900; the estimated yield
for 1855 and 1884 being 1,0l1 200 bales.
Twenty-three counties i'll North Texas
show an increase over last year of ten per
cent, seventeen counties in West Texas
decrease of forty per cent, nineteen coun-
ties in Southwest Texas a decrease of forty
per cent, thirteen counties in the coast
country the same as last year, eighteen

S6S, 900 bales in 1881 and 1882, and ,250-
| 900 bales in 1880 and 1881. The estimated
total yield of the State for 1888 and 1884 is
| placed at 80 per cent below that of last
| year, or falling off of 465 900 bales. The
| chances for top crop are reported good
in three counties and fair in two counties
in North Texas, but in all the other coun-
ties reports are unfavorable or none. The
season for gathering the crop has been
very favorable; no frost except in some
sections early in November. The proper
| ton of picked is estimated at s. per cent,
of which 90 per cent. is considered mar
keted. The yield per acre this season is
about 7-l6 OF bale, against OF bale
