The State Prison at Milan.

Not very far away from the foro is the
State prison-as sacred to the Lom-
bardese as Chillon is to the Swiss
where the Bonivarls of Milan had TO
spend decades ON decades of their years
under an Austrian lock and key because
they refused to bend the knee to Aus
trinn tyrants. 1t seems that the foreign
garrison quartcred in this town did
every thing it could to earn the hatred
and opprObrium of the inhabitants.
Almost generation has, however,
passed away since the despot was driven
from the land. Since 1859 Lombardy
has had no Austrian lancers prancing
on its plains. no Austrian flag floating
from its bsttlemcnts, and yet these peo-
pie do not forget and will not forget the
wrongs done to them. They mutter
vows of vengeance and look forward
with feverish arlor to the day when
they will be SLOWED to march across the

THE MODEL HUSBAND.

A Tribe of tho Genus Homo Which In All

and slippers, hair uncombed and with
feet on the hearth deep in the mysteries
of a new love story or absorbed in the
perusal of an account of the last Wo-
mans Right convention, while dinner is
still thing of the far distant future,
he never grumbles nor growls. nor turns
on his heels and goes Off down town to
get feast. Oh. no! nothing of the kind.
He first kisses his wife, then replenishes
the fire which he finds in the .'last
stages of consumption" puts the house
Ito rights" generally. and prepares
to the best of his manly ability
sumptuous lunch for two. of which he
invites her to partake in his blandest
society tone.
He never bothers his wife with sew
ing on his buttons; he didn't marry
her for that" He quietly gets a needle
and thread. adjusts his thimble and
sews his buttons on himself.
When there is Woman's Rights

The Model Husband has no ''old

and he has never been known to look
in the direction of bonnet on the head
of any woman but his wife. He endures
the Caudle lectures delivered by his
better-half with touching meekness
unexcelled by the original Caudle him

pity, not unmixed with contempt
that most miserable specimen of the
masculine gender, a hen-pecked hus-

that her husband, whom she had SEEM

no reference to their odd relations to
one another beyond that implied in ex-
