This dinncr-tab!e acquaintance kindly helped
Mi Gallenga in hunting for person to whom he
had n letter of Introduction, and our Italian friend
in taking leave OF him, slipped two dollars between
his fingers" at whIch. he lngenuonsly remarks,
Peter c. Sconcc seemed greatly surprised and hall
offended We have not the slightest doubt OF H.
The gentleman to whom the letter of Introduction
was addressed could not be found, and with that
fine sense of propricty which, as We shall SEQ, Is
charac,cristic of him. Mr.. Gallcnga remarks that
his friend the American consul 1t IaugeT, 10 whose

for his dongs." A letter from the same friend TO
Edward Everett then Governor OF MaSsacslsettS'

he discovered that there no opening fol him at
the university he found fault with the sense and
information of Mr.. Consul Leb." The friendship
of Mr. Everett however, gave him start. lie
went 70 a boarding house in Boston. which he de

out of this establishment at the end or a
week on account Of hiriatoh
with beautiful young widow, whose name

has no scrup,c in printing, along with a rather
warm description Of their intimacy, and a statement
that II was more of her seeking than OF his His next
female friendship was with lady SIM better
