Fair E'IOrence.

Rev. Geo. ". Field writes to the Ban
gor Wing from Italy as follows; If there
were any place away from my native
land and city where would be willing to
spend the remainder of my days, it is
this city of Florence, where now am.
the tairest city in the world, as it seems
to me. Perhaps other cities where |
have been, might have grown equally
into my affections if had remained as
long in them. Edinburgh, for instance,
or Verona Perhaps other cities which
| am Yet to visit may come to seem as
interesting Rome or Naples but it
hardly seems possible Every kind Of
interest gathers around Florence. The
plcturesquenesS CT its situation, the
beauty OF its surrounding scenery. the
grandeur of its palaces, the splendor Of
its art, the wealth OF its libraries, above
all, the glory of its historical associations,
combine to set it apart from and above
all other places. Every street, every
square is alive with stirring memories.
Perhaps more great men have walked
the streets Of this small city than any
other OF the modern world, or even of
the ancient world, setting aside Athens.
hat other church on the globe can show
such series Of monumental tOmbs as
those which line the walls of Santa Croce
IN this cjtv, and which bear the names
OF Dante, Michael Angelo, Calico, Mac
hlavelli Petrarch. And these Floren-
tine genluses have left such distinct
traces OF themselves, and You are brought
into such close contact with their indi-
Nldualllies. You see the very seat
where Dante used to sit six hundred
years ago Willie he watched the growing
work OF Giotto and Brunelleschi, great in
architecture as he is in poetry. You see
tue room and the very tools with which
Michael Angelo wrought ont his marvel
lous conceptions. You see the hall
where Savonaro!a, greatest of rcformers,
was tortured. the cell where he lay and
the very prayer which he wrote the
night before he was burned. Nowhere
else are you brought SO near the heroes
OF the past. Strong and Wondrous citv
which III giving to the world Dante and
bis c0adiut0rs in art usEered in modern
civilization, and which has served as
passage to all the great ideas which have
made the glory, the prosperity, the eX-
perence OF modern history-the name of
Florence sounds louder to my spirit and
my heart than that of Rome itself, the
eternal city. Rome, indeed, is the grand
tomb OF the old Pagan world. Florence
IS the glorious cradle Of the new world of
thought and Of art.

A CASE OF INCARCERATION TO BE SETTLED
BY THE COURTS.
A case that is exciting much interest
in Baltimore is the suit of Emma j. Fear
ing against her husband, Robert j. Fear
ing, asking that the court declare her
marriage null and void. She is white
woman, and her plea is that he is col
ored man. She is pretty brunette,
with large brown eyes, and is quite intel
ligent. Telling her story for the first
time, she said:

Brunswick, and am % years old | left

from Washington containing a tin-type

letter | saw the tin-type drop on the
floor. He picked it up hurriedly and
thrust it in his vest pocket, not thinking
had seen it. The letter must have
made him nervous, for on leaving the
house he dropped it. My curiosity was
aroused, and picked the letter up and
read it. 1t was from his brother Charles,
and he said he enclosed a tin-type of his
llttle boy. When Robert returned | ask
Ell him to let ne see the tin-type. After
urging he did so, and saw at a glance
that the child was not white. Noticing
my surprise, he said the child is little
darker than the children in this part of
the country, owing to the warm climate
OF South Carolina, where the child was
born. He finally confessed that the
