Signor Crispi; the premier of italy, is thus
described by an Italian deputy: 1T is al
ways difficult to know what he wants and
what he means to do. He is o man of inn

His decisions depend i'll large part on the ini-
pressions of the moment He gets excited
easily, and is capable of doing the most fool
ish thing when angry. In the chamber Of
deputies be is master neither of his words nor
gestures. The least thing is apt to rufile
him, and at any moment he may fly OF the

Prince Henry, the Emperor Frederick's
second son, smokes his pipe in the English
fashion, and smokes it morning, noon and
night. You could meet him, when he was mt
San Remo strolling about after breakfast,
with well colored English short clay, or
Guilty. In the afternoon he made just this
sacrifice to fashion-he changed the clay for
a brier root. It is related OF him in San
Reno that, going to church one Sunday
afternoon, he started with his prayer book
under his arm and his brier root well olight

Roscoe Conkling's hair is getting thinner
on the top Of his head, and one with sharp
ewes can sec the outline of his skull back Of
the forehead. The scalp is of the ruddy tint,
which makes the brow look little lowered,
and which deepens in color on his cheeks and
neck, SO that the man seeNs as = he were
blushing. Still, it is only his usual hcalthful
glow, heightened by theincreasing whiteness
| of his hair. That famous curl over the mid
die of his forehead which his caricaturists
used to burlesque SO sharply, has lost its old
time glory, and has dwindled so that it is only
q. small imageof its old SELF. There used to
be told story that Senator ConSlins wore
the curl to conceal scar which he had re-
ceived from q horse when a lad. Tho scar
must have been small and slight for it is
pretty hard to see anything of it now that the !.
curl has retreated.
