 Countess Guiccioli was absolutely and thoroughly as much in love with Byron's memory when saw her, in the years 1868 and 1869, as she had been with the living man thirty years before, and, as dear Mrs. Norton used to say 'sThere is something ex- ceedingly beautiful and almost sacred in the completeness of the adoration which a wo man bestows on the man she loves." Her enthusiasm when speaking of Byron's beau ty was almost childish and theme she nev CT ceased dwelling upon. I asked her which was the best portrait existing of Byron, and she gave me a photograph of him from a portrait by Phillips, the same which l caused to be reproduced as frontispiece for my translation of her 'Recollections," but when she gave it she looked at it moment in rev erent silence then burst out in commenda- tion of Byron's neck, his brow, his face, his nails, but especially his mouth; "Regardez done cette bouche; mais elle est delicieuse! son sourire etait divin Mon Dieu, quill etait bsau!" "His complexion was transpa- rent, his teeth like pearls, his hair glossy and curling. his nails roseate as the shells Of the ocean, and a simple glance at the unrivaled mouth enabled one to understand that this pri Tileged being was endowed with every mo- ble passion, coupled with an instinctive hor TOT of what is low and vulgar in human na- ture'' On one occasion I asked the mar quise to show me any relics of Byron which she might possess. She then showed me manuscripts of ''Beppo," "The Corsair, /" of stMarino Faliero," of 'sWerner," and five cantos of s'Don Juan" A little packet of letters, tied up with blue ribbon, she most religiously raised to her lips and reverential- ly kissed; another parcel containing lock of his ''cur1y and glossy hair," was em- braced with less reverence and more display, while other triding mementoes were very quickly hid from view. But all the time she was investigating, for my benefit, the large oak chest which contained these treas ures smile played upon the lit le old lady's countenance, the satisfied smile of a wo- mans pride, caused by the recollection that the love of herself alone had prompted the bestowal of these now historic relics Mrs. Norton told me that when she came to England the Guiccioli was the belle and the exposure of the season. I cannot conceive her to have ever been so great beauty. When knew her she bore signs of having no doubt been pretty; but nothing in her features could, like those of Caroline Nor ton, speak to beauty whom age is not sparing. She had a very bright complexion; 8 very pretty hand, which she was fond of showing; and wore curls, which, being out of fashion at that date, detracted from her attractiveness. But she was essentially ami able and almost martyr to that virtue. Her face betrayed her loving disposition, and many one can tell of her practical good ness and her generous acts.

 Flags Ordered at Half Mast.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-At o'clock this afternoon telegram was received at the War department annonceing General Hancock s death. The flags on the executive mansion and War department were immediately half masted. The following executive order was issued:
 Executive Mansion, February g. p.m
 Tidings of the death of Winfield Scott Han cock, the senior major general of the army of theUnited States, have just been received. A patriotic and valiant defender of his country, an able and heroic soldier, a spotless and accomplished gentleman crowned alike with the laurels of military re- nown and the highest tribute of his fellow countrymen to his worth 8 citizen-he has gone to his reward. It is fitting that every mark of public respect should be paid to his memory. Therefore it is ordered by the President that the national flag be displayed at half-mast upon all the buildings of the executive departments until after the funeral shall have taken place.
 DANIEL s. LAMONT,
 Private Secretary.
 Secretary Endicott's reception to army of feers and others which was to have been given tonight, was postponed as soon as the news of General Hancock's death was re- ceived. The news of the generals death was received at the Capitol a few minutes after three o'clock. Senator Frye, who was in the chair, interrupted the proceedings and read the despatch. In the House the bullet ins received by the United Press were pass ed around among the members on both sides of the chamber.
 Brigadier General Drum said tonight that appropriate orders respecting the death of General Hancock would be issued by the of War tomorrow. While nothing official can be said on the subject, it is gene rally believed that General Schofeld will be selected to fill the vacancy caused by Han cocks death

EX-GOVERNOR SIT. JOHN. His Address Last Night At Lincoln Rink-A Large Audience.


 The friends of prohibition were out in full force last night at Lincoln rink to hear Governor St. John, of Kansas speak on tenn perance, and judging from the manner in which the speaker was applauded, it's ene- mics were all absent.
 The lecturer opened by telling how, thirty four years ago, Hon. Cassius M. Clay, after advertising the matter for thirty days, suc- ceeded at length in getting half hundred people together in g grove at Springfield, H., ..to hear him speak against slavery. Ten years from that time, the lecturer said, Abraham Lincoln, who had been of the fifty that listened to MT. Clay's address, issued that proclamation which liberated thousands of human beings from the shackles of slavery MT. St. John compared the present prohibition movement to the anti slavery movement and predicted that in less than ten years prohibition president would be occupying the White House. Those who now are crying down the prohibition movement will then, the speaker said, be looking for certificates to prove that they always belonged to the prohibition party.
 The local option and high license laws were, in Mir. St. Johns opinion, the plans of politicians, not Gods plans.
 During the CIVIL war the NOrtIl, nS Stdteu, fought the slavery question in much the same manner that the politicians are now fighting the rum question. It was only in the last year of the war when the North de- clared the slaves free and, with redoubled energies pushed on the fight, that they con- quered.
 MT. St. John remarked that he was sur prised to find that the Republican party was enjoying high license, just what the Demo- cratic party has been doing for years. Why the Republican party should wish to play second fiddle to the old-fashioned ''moss back'' Democracy was beyond MT. St. Johns comprehension To illustrate the position of the two parties the gentleman related the following story: In a western town one day an old squaw going along the streets crying, "Clams to sell, clans to sell. :" Just behind her was another squaw, younger and far better looking, bearing the same load as her predecessor, humbly saying, 'Me too, me too" The Democratic party, MT. St. John explained, has for years been crying "high lcense," and now to see the Republican party humbly calling out ''Me too'' is quite ridiculous. MT. St. John was warmly applauded from time to time and his remarks touching both parties were quite cutting and sarcastic.
 The platform was occupied by number of leading citizens of the city. Hon. Joseph Sheldon presided. The Continental quar- tette sang several songs in excellent style.

lffoHl the CHlcagO NeWS.I
 The pugnacity of the swordfish has be- come by word, and many are the instances of furious attacks and deadly encounters of which this fish is the hero. A most curi ous case came up before the Court of Common Pleas in London some years ago-rather an odd place, by the way-for inquiry into the natural history of fishes. An English yes sel, the Dreadnaught, was fishing in the open sea, when one of the crew hooked sword6sh. Ziphias, however, broke the line and a few moments after leaped half out of the water with the object, it would seem, of taking a look at it's perseeutor. Probably he satisfied himself that the enemy was some abnormally large oetacean, which it was his natural duty to attack forthwith. Be this as it may, the attack was made, and at four o'clock the next morning the captain was awakened with the unwelcome intelligence that the ship had sprung a leak. The insu rance company was willing to pay the dama- ges claimed by the owner if it could be proved that the hole was made by 8 sword fish, passing the defense upon the assumption that a swordfsh could not withdraw it's sword after once imbedding it.
 Professor Richard Owen said: 'It strikes with the accumulated force of fifteen double headed hammers. Its velocity is equal to that of a swivel-shot, and is as dangerous in it's effects heavy artillery projectile. !" Neither he nor MT. Buekland could state positively whether the fish could withdraw it's beak after passing it through three inches of stout planking. The swordfsh has little backing power, but might succeed in wriggling the sword out of the hole" Be this as it may, the insurance company had to pay nearly six hundred pounds because an ill-tempered fish objected to being hooked and took it's revenge by running full tilt against copper sheathing and oak planking
 Cases of similar attacks might be men toned by the score. Usually the fish breaks his sword in the attack, but if he succeeds in removing it the vessel takes to leaking, and often has to return to port for repairs.

Robbed Under the Nose of the Police.

BOSTON, Feb 9.-Frank Kinney of IS Front street, Cambridge, while passing the junction of Kneeland and Washington streets at 3 a. m. was assaulted by three men. One made grab at his diamond pin, but as he raised his hand to protect the gem another dealt him a crushing blow under the left ear while another blow on the back of the head sent him reeling from the side walk into the gutter where he was found bleeding and insensible. One of the trio grabbed at the watch chain of the uncon- scious man, snapping it into two. They managed to get the watch, valuable gold timepiece. The gang then hurriedly ran away. The boldness of the affair is without parallel in the criminal records of the city, occurring on the main street within few rods of electric light while three herdic teams were just around the corner and g po- lice station within block.

Carp and Its Adaptation to Environ-
 meMt.

From the Cornhill Magazne.l
 Some amphibious habits on the part of certain tropical fish are easy enough to ex- plain by the fashionable clue of adaptation likely to dry up, and so the animals that frequent ponds are usually capable of bear ing very long deprivation of water. h. deed, our evslutionists generally hold that land animals have in every case sprung from pond animals which have gradually adapted themselves to do without water altogether. Life, according to this theory, began in the ocean, spread up the estuaries into the

SHALL THE DOORS BE OPENED A Growing Sentiment I'm Favor of
 Senator Rlatfss PrNieef.


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-''Shall the doors be opened for the consideration of presiden- tial nominations?' is a question which many Senators are now putting to themselves. Mr. Platt is somewhat envied by his col leagues for the favorable comment which has followed his stand in favor of open execu- tive sessions, and when the subject is taken up there will be many Senators in favor of it. Great pressure is being brought to bear upon the Senate to ''let in the light" and the leaders in some of the metro politan papers are having good effect The post in an exhaustive editorial to-day strikes the key note of the situation by saying: "A great gain for the Senate would in our judgment result from the fact that in open sessions the public would be made aware of the proceedings with accuracy and in an authorized way, whereas now everything is left to the enterprise of the press, which in overcoming the difficulties presented by the artificial hindrances placed in it's way may sometimes fail of full and strict accuracy in every detail and so do an occasional injustice in an individual case"
