Kossuth in His Old Age.

In summer Louis Kossuth lives at n
villa near Rivoli, in winter in the Via
del Mile. at Turin, and is always ac-
compauicd by his sister, who adorcs
him. His two SON are employed in
different departments Of the Italian
administration, away from their
father, whom, however, they visit &C.
casionally. Many lIungarians live in
Turin and in the winter evenings
Louis Kossuth's drawing-room, which
is full Of patriotic souvenirs, is the
scene of much lively conversation, al
most always turning on Hungarian
affairs. At eleven o'clock the General
rctircs TO bed. rising early in the
morning, when his first business is to
read all the newspapers, which are
sent TO him in quantities from his ma
tive country. For several years he
has been busy writing his memoirs,
but the work goes on very slowly be-
cause the writer often allows himself
TO fall into rcvcries, recalling past
times, and he sometimes remains for
hours thus absorbed without writing
n line and when his sister comes to
beg him to rest she finds the sheet o
paper before him still empty. And the
good old man, with his white hair and
vivacious eyes, smiles, rises from his
chair, and taking his sisters arm
walks up and down the room. -Chica'

reached the age Of seventeen, was a
