SO the 18th was fixed on as being, they
thought, far enough off TO insure warm
spring weather. Prayers for fine weather
were ordered in the churches, and the
Virgin vas uncovered and prayed to to
lntercede for the good of the city of
Leghoru. But the rain and hail contin-
ued till the 10th, and the people were
in dispair. Meantime the work for pre-
pairing for the launch, and the decora-
tion of the city for grand festival went
on. The king, queen, and the little
prince, together with the court, were to
come, also the diplomatic corps, the ser
ators, members of parliament, the cabi-
net, army and navy officers, and a host
of civil officers from Rome. Staging and
seats were prepared for over 100, 900
people All this work was done III the
rain. [ should also say that the city
government had the principle squares
and streets decorated with designs, upon
which were to be placed flags and h3w-
ers, and lights for the illumination; but,
if the rain continued, this could not be
carried out. At midnight of the 10th the
rain ceased, the clouds began to dis
perse, and thousan is of men turned out
to put mp the decorations. They worked
all night, so that s o'clock the next
morning all was ready to receive the
royal party. The sun rose in perfect
clear sky, and no wind, and every BODY
gave the credit of the beautiful dav to
the Virgin, who had interceded for Leg
horn. 1t was also looked upon as good
omen for the success of the big ship.
At IL o'clock the royal party arrived.
and, after walking their horses through
the streets that had been decorated in
their honor, they took their places in
the beautiful pavilion that had been
made for them near the slip The ship
to be launched is about 5000 tors in
measurement, Is entirely of steel ard
iron, TO wood anywhere, and her armor
plates are 10 be 27 inches thick. She
is to carry over 100 guns IN two
turrets, and several 30 or 35-toD guns,
so you may form some idea of her size.
When the king arrived the bishop, with
SIX priests, went up to the bow and
blessed the ship, spl1nkling holy water
upon 1t. Then the king, queen and
prince, aud the whole court, went up on
the staging at the bow, and the queen
broke bottle of champagne against the
cutvater, and named her the Lepanto
(accenC on thefr syllable), pronounced
Lay-pahn-t0. The ceremony over, the
party returned to the pavilion, and in
just thirty minutes, so perfect were the
arrangements, the big ship was floating
in the basin. 1t was a magnificent sight
TO see her slide into the water. Every
thing was done without noise and with
military precision. Our government
sent LicuteLant Commander Chadwick
from London to be present. He came
with Consul Barnard to call upon me,
ana told me that it was the best organ
IzeQ launch he ever saw.

S. Osborn, the president Of the coal
company, received letter from Howell
inclosing a sum Of money to be applied
in liquldating the money borrowed with

stepped into the office and settled up
the entire account. He then related his
temptation, how he secured the money,

walked TO Clayton, boarded a Wa

says the tempter got him once, but
never viii again, as the remorse and sus-
pense caused by his act has been les

Sir Henry Parker, Knight of tue Bath,

daughter and heir of Sir Philip Cal

Anna Bolleyn," etc. There ended a
very old oral tradition in Er8arton par

unhappy queen was by her own special
request buried in the parish church.
