Romance in Real Life.

The beautiful and highly cultivated
daughter of one of the proud old Ro-
man mobiles, the Duke of Gallese, was
introduced to the Italian poet, Signor
D'Annunzio. Her kinsfolk never
dreamed that lady of such great ex-
pectations and high birth could run
any risk by an intimate acquaintance
with man risen from the lower ranks.
The two walked and chatted together,
but, while the young lady's friends
supposed that she was talking of in
tellectual matters, it turned out
that the conversation of the interest
ing couple turned in a very different
direction. The Duke learned, to his
horror and anger, that his daugh-
ter had dared to betroth herself
to the poet. AS matter of course, he
refused to give his sanction to their
marriage, whereupon the lovers took
the train to Florence, where they were
made man and wife. This last step
made the Duke so indignant that he
had legal document drawn up by
which he disinherited his daughter;
but the father and the man afterwards
so far overcame the aristocrat in him
that he settled upon her for life year
ly income of 5000 lire. The story has
since obtained an almost tragical COM
pleteness by the separation Of the Duke
from his own wife. He accused her of
having secretly favored the cause of
ID Annunzio, and of allowing the lovers
to hold interviews after the father had
prohibited all further intercourse be-
tween the two. He has consequently
broken up his household in Rome, made
q settlement upon his Duchess and de-
clared that he will henceforth live and
die as if he had neither wife nor child.

Another Hotel Fire.

Sr. LOUIS, January 14.-Thc Planters
Hotel, one of the largest in the city,
took fire this morning, shortly before
5 o'clock, and burned so rapidly that
four persons lost their lives. The great.
est confusion prevailed when the alarm
was given and nearly all the guests ca.
capped in their night clothes. The
weather was intensely cold, and the fire.
men were thereby greatly hindered in
their work. 1t ia thought there were not
more than four victims. Three bodies
have been taken out. The fire at 1928
o'clock was under control. The loss on
the hotel will not exceed $4,000.
The fire broke out shortly after 4 a. m.
in the kitchen Of the hotel and extended
TO the pantry, store.room and several
servants quarters. These were in the
building in the rear and detached from
the hotel, which was not injured. Ono
servant was suffocated. one burned and
two Others have broken limbs. Great
excitement prevailed among the occu.
pants of the hotel, most of whom left the
house, but returned during the day.

y recent case of suspended animation

and she says everything that occurred
during her trance was painfully distinct.
She heard her death announced and was
apprehensive Of being literally killed by

time, she turned from her back to her
side and rapidly recovered sense and
sensibility. Severe cases of nightmare
often aise from sleeping on the back.
Many persons have awakened at night
with dread feeling of powerlessness of

clude to death, from which release came
by an almost despaired Of ability to shift

A Neat Point.

Compared with tho multitude of gigan-
tic frauds of all kinds which have devel-
eped and are daily developing East and
West, the default Of Col. Polk, fragrant
and disgrac eful az it was, dwndles into
comparatively microscopic insignificance.
Yesterday, l picked up Philadelphia
paper that, in one column, denounced
Polk Is an exceptionally colossal rogue
and in another column, mildly announced
an over issue of street.car railway stock in
the Quaker City to the amount Of two
million dollaro! The robberies, under
the sham of law, perpetrated by the
North upon the government and the
South do not excuse Polk in the least !;
but they make his robbery small one
in contrast. The Tennessee defaulter
and thief is captured and will probably
be punished. The gigantic brigands of
the North are, in many cases, not only
at large but encouraged in their "moral
agriculture" aud development" dare
Say that these bloated land pirates will
be loudest in condemning Polk and
fiercest in demanding that he be thrown
to the lions. The Republican howl
against the South, because Of Folks in.
fanny, will be much moderated, l suspect,
when it is found out that he voted the
truly loyal ticket during the past two
years; and the Democrats may retort
that he had not become utterly depraved
until he left their ranks and went over
to the men who, according to Mr..
Beccher, "have their hands in every
body's pocket. X. r. in Chronicle and

REGULATING THE RAILROADS..

The attention Of the whole country is
being directed to the question Of the best
manner in which to control railroad cor
pora.ions, so as to prevent their unjust
oppression of the people by cxorbitant
and unfair rates Of freight. Not only
have several States recently adopted the
system of commissions, but in the United
States Sennte, on last Saturday, Mr.. In.
gals introduced u bill to provide for the
appointment Of q commission to consider
the subject of railroad transportation. 1t
provides that tho President, with tho ad.
vice and consent Of the Senate, shall
appoint seven com missioners from civi!
life, whose duty it shall be to consider
and investigate the subject of rairond
transportation in its relations to the ag-
ricultural, commercial and industrial
interest Of the United States. The Com.
mission is to enquire generally into the
conditions affecting commerce among the
States, tho grounds Of complaint existing
against the railroad corporations result
ing from unjust discrimination, cxorbi-
tnnt or unequal rates. insufficient facil.
ties for traffic or unlawful combinations,
and in what matter the existing evils can
be rcmedied by legislation, and to report
their recommendation and the result of
their inquiry to Congress, not later than
tho first Monday in December, 1883.
The scction provides fos inc compenss-
ton of tho commission at slO per day
and reasonable expenses, and authorizes
them to visit such portions of the coun-
try as they may deem advisable in the
performance Of their duties
We doubt the political wisdom Of a
national railroad commission, from the
fact that it will tend rather more to cen.
tralizing power than we would care TO
60 just now but, aside from this obiec.
ton, it seems to us the results of n ma
tional commission must be favorable TO
the country at large, Now, only the
larger cities can influence the railroads,
whilc judicioua national railroad law
would give every portion Of the country
fair showing. Therefore, putting the
material advantages against tho political
disadvantages, we are rather disposed to
favor the passage Of proper national
railroad law. The proposition of NIr.
Ingalls, looks to a tn orough study of the
subject, and judicious action upon it.
