Beautiful Baths.


The baths Of Battaglia are near Padul
and Venice. in the most delightful of eli
mates. freed from northern cold and too
southern heat.
4 peculiaranlmost unique feature Of the
health resort Is the natural vapor-na,h IN
the gr0ito. This gr0tt0 j. situated about
half way up the Monte SAINT Elena. be-
tween tie smaller lath-hogse and the cas-
ne. 4 number of hot springs Issue from
the rock within the grotto and give rise 10
hot VapOr.
In consequence Of the great success
which attended the theIapeutical employ
mcnt Of the grot,o of MonsnmmanO. near
Pistoia. this grotto was enlarged by blast
inc and fitted up with magnificent marble
couches. shOwer-hatbs, etc, after the pat
tern of the Roman baths IN Nionna. The
temperature Of the yapor is 1l6 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Lower down and in Battaglia are the
bath-houses and hotels now rcsOrted TO by
hundreds Cattajo Is our old English
Cathay or CHINA. and was SO named be-
cause il was built after the drawings Of
the Khan's palace at Cathay, brought home

Austria Este, is the more recent but
charming villa Of Val San ZiOio, the seat of
Count Martnengo, senator OF Italy, sur

THE RICHMOND DIspATCH-sATURDAY. DECEMBER 2, 1889.

TINT IL was the last present he made her
before his death. Last winter she lost
this gold piece, which she was accus-
toned 10 wear as n bangle on her watch
charm. A reward of $40 wns offered for
any information that would lead 10 its re-
covery. fish pcddler answered the re,
quest for information. and said be had
picked up the coin, but not knowing the
owner had spent the money in a Biddeford
saloon. Inquiry there showed that 1t had
been paid 20 a frenchman on his way to
Canada 10 visit bis relatives. The piece
was easily traced by means OF its pecu-
lar denomination and monogram. The
Frenchman had paid It 70 man he owed
in Canada, who In turn had paid it into a
bank. Its peculiar appearance attracted
attention, and II was remembered that 1t
was paid one OF the paymasters OF the
Northern Pacific railroad. asngularco-
incidence the monogram was that Of bis
own name. and, instead Of paying It out to
the men. he wore It on his own watch
chain. When the facts were stated TO him
he kindly gave it mp. and this week tho
young lady received her coin back again
after nearly years absence.

MRS. SMITH.
Mrs. p. 4. L. Smith, at whose request a
bill has been introduced in the Legislature
to allow women to practice law, IS aNoung
woman not vet twontv-hye years old, and
was married about three years ago. Her
husband Is a young lawyer who stands
well AZ the Danyille bar. Mrs. Smith was
Miss Annie Duff of Marietta, ONO, aud
was raised in that town. She IS bright
young woman Of pleasing manners and Is
q hard student. Mr.. Smith IN an interview
to-day said that be was perfectly willing
and even anxious that his vito should JON
him in the practice of law that she has
studied hard and is in every way competent
TO wrestle with legal problems. He could see
no reason why women should not 90 into
the law for livelihood, and thought she
might lust as well be prohibited from
teaching i'll the public schools or keeping
Il millinery store. The objection, he con-
tinued. is nothing but an old fogy senti-
ment. The bill the Legislature Is asked
10 pass is in no WAY, he says, q woman's-
right measure. Ii does not confer on wo-
man the right to vote, but simply allows
her to take ont "A license 10 practice law

raj of the western States. he says. women

WHAT THE LAWYERS THINK.
Most of the lawyers here do not think the
bill ought 10 pass, but some think 1t an
cminently proper one: among whom may
be mentioned Judge Berryma Green.
Harrison Stephens (cOlored) was arrested
here to-day for passing bogus money or
the bank Of old Mecklenburg issue. he
was arraigned before the United States
Commissioners and sent on the grand jury.
Mr.. Trowbridge, who was run over by II
street-car, is still living at this writing but
his condition is hopeless.
