SCENE III IN VENICE.

4 pale moon rises over the sea this
winter evening, and reveals Venice in
an unwonted aspect. 1t is the bitterest
winter that fair city has known for
many a year, and the drifted snow is
lying thick in the Piazza San Marco,
while the white domes and spires Of
that lovely Byzantine church stand out
in sharp relief against the steely sky
and the frozen snow which had gather
ed in every nook and corner softens the
details Of tracery and clings to each
point of vantage.
Snow everywhere-covering even the
felze Of the black gondolas moored hard
by the Ponte degli Paglia with light,
white shroud. st. Marks lion has a
frosty coat and the steps surrounding
bis column are white and slippery to-
night, while the gondoliers have re-
treated to the friendly shelter of ada
cent cafes and are Solacing themselves
with coffee and cigars.
Not many Venetians are abroad to-
night, for even now the silent, feathery
flakes are beginning to descend again
as sharp, cutting wind blows across
the Laguna from Lido and the lonely
sea- irt Campo Santo. 1t is dreary,
bitter night, and Venice, for the most
part, prefers closed doors and warm
stoves. Her streets are quieter than is
usual at this hour, and comparatively
deserted. The uDtrodden snow lies
thick along the Riya Schiavone, and
the grand ducal palace, where it fronts
the sea, wears an air Of sterile splen-
dora CHASTITY contrast to the groups
of squalid beggars gathered beneath its
stately colonnade to find scanty shelter
from piercing winds and cutting snow
flakes.
And still the pale moon, with fair,
sad face, climbs higher in the frosty
ky, and her ghostly light touches the
dark, quiet waters Of the Adriatic with
faint CLEANS of silver as they flow noise
lessly by marble stair and palace wall.
Her wan rays make the sparkling snow
still winter, while the shadows thrown
by tall, dark buildings appear by con-
trast blacker and more profound than
they looked before the moon rose.
Those narrow, irregularly-construct-
ed streets, with their varying architectu-
raj details, afford much deep shadow
grateful enough when the pitiless SUM-
mer sun beats 6srcely down upon the
calm waters Of the Laguna--but now,
in winter, they are but gloomy lurking
places for the homeless scum Of the
crowded city and the chance way
farer hurries on, glancing backward
nervously as he goes.
The long, slow night drags on with
lsadsn-footed hours, and the peaceful

rur p1cHMoND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. FEBRUARY 2l 1886.

NOM now rides high in cloudless
heaven; her light falls in fresh places
now. and some Of the darkest corners
are no longer obscure. This Is noiaoiy
the case with a certain narrow street
leading from the Riva, and all one
side of it is bathed in HOOD
of pure. cold light, where Two
hours sgone only sn lmpenetraoie
darkness reiened. And there, where
the frosty light falls most sharply lies
the body of a man, huddled or thrust
close against the wall OF house.
Surely he is not sleeping in this in-
clement nights Not sleeping, for the
wide-open eyes are staring up at the
eternal stars with a dull, unmeaning
gaze. and already they are growing dim
and cloudipg over with the darkness OF
death. The snow falls again and see.
the light keen fakes are gathering fast
ON the pallid, upturned face and rigid
form One arm is bent beneath the
body as he fell, and along his left side
the snow is crimsoned in CHASTITY way
with blood.
Dead and cold The bitter, cruel
wind sweeps the newly-fallen snow over
the freezing corpse as though it stroye
to blot out the sight from God and
man.
In the Campo San Noise the windows
of the Golden Lion are bright with
warmth and light, CHEEKY contrast to
the deserted, wind-swept streets and
the des olate waste of waters beyond.
A pleasant odor to hungry pass
ers-by issues from its doors, and
cheerful sounds of music and laughter
are heard within. The room is filled
with groups engaged in smoking
playing dominos, and drinking cof-
fee. At small table near the
stove man sits, silent and alb
soIbed. the one solitary being 10
that crowded room. Ills folded
arms are on the table and his head
is bent down, but he rises abruptly as
the waiter brings him cup Of cgte
noir and the light reveals the face of
Andrea ViscOnti. He had been writing,
and the ink is still wet on the open
Toge before him he glances over what
lie has writtensand after folding it he
add, esSes the letter to Louis YaDsittart,
ana ,hen turns from the table and faces
the long room with the cup of cafe Hoh
in his hand.
There is a slight noise and stir at the
door hasty consultation between the
proprietor of the Golden Lion and some
persons outside, while no small Curl
Osity is eyinced by the cOflee-drinkers
and domino-playcrs as party Of four
enters the trattoria and walks swiftly
up the room, casting quick, searching
glances at the various groups as they
pass.
Andrea YiSconti surveys them list
lessly with his calm, steady gaze, and
stands, cup in hand, Indifferent and I'M
moved as they approach. They also
have noted him. This is our man,
beyond q doubt" says the chief in a
low voice. They surround the table,
and Andrea Visconti is in the midst of
them but before the chief can speak
a word he glances carelessly around
once more, and draining the cup of
black coffee to the dregs he falls
heavily to the ground.
They raise him, bring water, and
summon a physician hastily; but in
that brief instant Andrea ViscOnti had
passed beyond the reach of hands and
gore to learn the secrets of the stars.

THOMAS SEXTON,
One of the Orators of the Nationalist.


While Mr.. Parnell is the leader Of the
Irish movement for hOme-rule, its
speaker-the clear, elegant, and easy
talker-is Mr.. Sexton. To him belongs,
in an eminent degree, that rarest quail
fication of the politician-the power to
treat dry facts so as to render them in-
teresting and accessories of fascinating
persuasion. 1t was stated of the last
House of Commons that out ofits total
membership Mr.. Sexton stood second
only to Mr.. Gladstone in the ability to
construct and pleasingly enforce an
elaborate argument.
The orator thus distinguished is in
his thirty-ninth year. lie was born in
