suicide Of A rrlncelx Gambler.

Prince Mellssano, member of one of
the best Neapolitan families, committed
suicide in Paris recently, on returning
from his club, where he had seen his
name posted up as defaulter. Prince
Melissano had lost at the same club more
than go, 600 within two or three years,
and had often applied for time and made
payment at the date promised His ere.
ditor ON this, as on previous occasions,
had placed the debt en- CARTE as it is
oalled-that is to say, had deposited in
the hands of he proper official a card
stating that the Prince was to pay EGO.
The time having expired without the
amount being paid, the official published
the fact. When the Prince entered the
club he noticed his name stuck up against
the mirror. He went close to the glass,
looked at it, and then without saying
work took up his hat and went home.
There he placed loaded revolver
against his right temple, discharged 1t,
and fell dead.
More than six wears ago the Prince
had spent his last farthing, yet since
then he had lived in Paris like man
worth els, 900 to f20, 900 year, with
out doing anything rendering him
amenable to the tribunals. He had
made the business of getting into debt o
science, and most of his creditors al
lowed their names to increase in order
not to have to confess that the money
was sunk and that so charming noble
man was hopelessly insolvent. To such
a length did be carry the art that he ere.
ated fresh resources, partially paying off
a fraction of the army of old creditors
at the expense of new ones. That was
especially the case with gambling debts.
The Prince was only little over for y
years old. + Pail Mall Gazette.

Runfc ReIics.

We must not omit to mention the Ru-
mic monuments that abound, many Of
them in a remarkable state of preserva-
ton. Those of Kirk Braddan, Kirk
Mich el and Kirk Manghold are worthy
of special notice. Kirk Braddan, whicn
is not far from Douglas, appears to have
been one of the most ancient burying
places in the kingdom, Here, it is said,
the bones of Druids, Scots, Scandina-
vians, bold friars and mighty chieftains
have been crumblng for centuries. Near
the old ehurch. which is now falling to
decay, are three scandinavian crosses
Some time ago they were discovered by
laborer, lying horizontally upon the
earth; they are now elevated upon q
small mound. One of the Inscriptions
may be rendered thus: "Thorlaf Neaka
erected this cross 10 Fiach, his son, the
nephew of Eabr." la the same church
are two other monuments-one leaning
against the church wall, the other close
to the gate, which probably. belongs to
the same period. Just outside the en-.
trance gate of the graveyard of Kirk
Michael is large stone cross, richly or
namented with animal and other figures,
intended, apparautly, to represent stag
hunt. On the edge of the stone the fol-
lowing words are inscribed, which must
be read from the bottom upward: "ln-
al snur Thurulfs Gins Rautha risti crus
thana aft Frithu muther sina"-Joan,
son of Thorolf the Red, erected this
stone to his mother, Frida On one
side of the gateway is cross, embellish-
ed with carvings of a harper, a dog and
two men carrying weapons; on the op-
poste side is another, beautifully orna-
mented with knot work. The former is
the more worthy of notice, as it contains
no Celtic names-the characters and dia-
leot being unlike those of any other In
scription to be found on the island. The
date of it probably is 1888. The latter
tells us that ''Mallbridg, son Of Atha-
kan, (the) smith. erect this cross for his
soul; but his kiMman Cant made this
(cross) and all in Man." Another finely
carved cross, which once stood near
Bishop Wilson's tomb, leans at present
for support against the porch of the
church. Kirk Manghold, which is cne
of the oldest churches on the island, aud
dates from the fifth century, is rather
famous for its crosses, among which may
be mentioned two bearing etfgies appar-
emily of st. Patrick and st. Manghold;
a pillar cross, most beautifully and elab-
orately sculptured, five feet high, bear
ing on one side a representation of the
cruciGxion, and on the other the Virgin
and child, with a figure kneelipg, etc.,
and double wheel sandstone cross,
nearly seven and half feet high. In
the churchyard at Ballaugh there is an
interesting Runic cross, which has well
withstood the ravages of time; at st.
Johns Chapel is another, bearing an in
scription to the effect that, "Inosruler
engraved these ruins;" and at Onchan,
not far from Douglas, are two slabs upon
which are carved Runic characters and
fantastic forms of animals London So
