QUEEN ISABELLA'S BULFINCH.
The Fall ofFIarfori. the Spanish Court
Singer, a Mystery.

farlS Letter IN London
met last week, quite accidentally, a
schoolfellow of Marfori and had some CONVEX
sation about that ill-used person. -Marfori
was, even when quite young, what the French
call boule de graisse. Although of the race
to which the young Mortara belonged, he
was early recruited for the tenorini of the
Sistine Chapel. But, of a rowing disposition,
he preferred being a courier, and as such
travelled over Europe and finally went to
Spain in the service of some foreign diplom-
atist He had relatives at Madrid who were
rich and enterprising and had their reasons
for trying to make Prim, who was then in
high favor, quarrel with his sovereign. One of
them got lady of Queen Isabella's household
to obtain for the Italian permission to sing
before her. She was charmed with his voice
and, as he was a good-tempered, flexible
soul, free from touohiness and having no re-
gard for his honor, she engaged him to be a
kind of domestic g-bird, and gave him g.
function in the royal household. Her hus-
band-one of the seurest tempered mannikins
that ever lived--was never able to pick quar-
rel with Marfori. The latter, having talent
for buffoonery, used. behind Don Francisco's
back, to throw the Queen, royal children,
Serrano, and the couriers in close attendance
on Isabella, into fits of laughter by taking Oh
her husband in their presence. There was
peace in the royal household from the time
he became the Queens bulfinoh- the name
given him by Serrano. He greatly aided in
bringing out the native capacity for music
of the young Infantas, and was devoted to
Alfonso, who was like sickly plant, with a
physical disposition to wilt. Marfori must
have been quite unprepared for the way the
King and Comtesse Girgenti acted towards
him, when, after the throne was set up again
at the Palacio Real, he went back to Spain on
some private business. He was seized and
without any form of trial, hurried on board
war ship and sent to one of the Philippine
Islands. What became of him there nobody
knows, but his family are trying to make the
Italian government ascertain his fate, and,
if he is alive, obtain redress for his wrongs.
Marfori, never having relinquished his Ital-
ian nationality, was not under the finger and
thumb of Don Alfonso and his agents. He
only owed the Spanish government local al
legiance, and as there is no law forbidding an
ex-courier to be Queen Isabella's bulfneh or
startling or any other kind of male song bird,
it is undoubtedly the duty of the italian
government to clear up the mystery in
which his disappearance has been shrouded.

The New Haven Union appeared last ev-
ening in fine new "dress," which will add
much to its attraetiveness. May it live long
and prosper.
The report comes from Chicago that a
new secret order, called the True Sons of
America, and founded in opposition to the
election of foreign born citizens to Office,
has already large membership there and is
getting ready to organize branches elsewhere.
But it is not probable that it will accomplish
much.
It is not very encouraging that more than
$34, 600, 900 of gold have been exported from
the United States since the year 1885 began,
and the shipments engaged for the present
week alone amount to over 100000. 1t
was hoped that exports of grain would have
checked exports of gold now that prices of
cereals are so low, but the foreigners do not
seem to want our grain.
The cost of the industrial national exhibi-
ton which it is proposed to hold in Berlin
in 1888 is estimated to be 100000 marks.
Of this sum it is calculated that $500 600
city of Berlin has resolved to- contribute
1000, 900 marks, and it is estimated not i'm
probable that the rem ainder will be given by
the imperial government. The show will be
grand one.
In order to make cooperation success
those who believe in it must cooperate. The
cooperative cash store which was established
| in Brockton, Massachusetts,, few months
since has fallen through for lack of support.
The trouble seems to have been that the
| store has not been properly supported by the
stockholders. The manager of the concern
states that out of one hundred and twenty
subscribers only eighteen traded there.
Arrangements were msde last evening at
| the meeting of the committee to gather con-
| tr1butions to ''the parliamentary fund.-
which is to help elect "homs rulers" to seats
| in the English parliament. We have been
asked to receive contributions to the fund
| and we cheerfully comply with the request.
Those of our readers who wish to aid the
home rulers in this way can send or bring
their contributions to this Office.
The ladies of Paris, tired of wearing dead
| birds, are said to be now spending fabu-
lous sums in procuring all sorts of creeping
things-such as spiders, beetles, etc.-with
which to adorn their hair and dresses. 1t
seems the idea originated with Mime. Judic,
who, during her tour in 'Fthe Golden South
Americas" was presented by deputation OF
feminine admirers in Brazil with a pair OF
Brazilian beetles, or "gold bugs" which, it
4 appears, can be trained, and are tethered by

Pension Commissioner Black is apparently
very ''strict constructionist." He rejected
the claim of a coIored woman for a pension
as the dependent mother of soldier killed
in the service, on the ground that as the
claimant was slave at the time of the sol
dier's death she was not then dependent up
on him for support. The soldier enlisted in
August, 1868, and was afterwards killed in
battle. At that time President Lincolns
emancipation proclamation had been issued
and in force for a year or more, and slav cry
was not recognized in the United States by
any officer of the government.
