1t was given in charge of Mr.. II, IL. Dodge,
one of the vestrymen and superintendent
of Mount Vernon, to be deposited in a
safe at that place subject to the order of
the Vestry. This interesting relic was
found at the North aud sold to DR.,

Mrs. WILLIAM HENRY HURLBERT, COM
nenting on the similarity between her
husbands hand writing and that of his
quondam private secretary, WuFRID
MURRAY, told an interviewer in London
the other day that she had once come
across an envelope addressed to Mr.. HURL-
BERT, in what she supposed was his own
chirography. Curiosity led her TO ex-
anime the contents and she found that
the letter was from WLFRID MURRAY,
written from the Metropolitan Club of
this city. Whereupon the Worlds Wash
ington correspondent says, in a special
dispatch to his paper:
The point raised having an interesting
bearing upon the existence of an indi-
Nidual whose being or not being seems to
involve the question of Mr.. HURLBERTs ;
yeracity and incidentally the whole ques-
tion at issue, the World has had careful
search made in the records of the Metro
politan Club between the years 1879 and
1850, fully covering the period during
which MURRAY is said by HURLBERr to
have been IN Washington. No trace Of
any card issued TO such person or of his
signature TO any club documents could be
found, nor do any Of the old club mem
bers remember such man.
This is getting TO be interesting.

An ABSURD STORY about Baron FAvA is
going the rounds of the press. Accord
ing TO this story, Baron FAvA had given
offense to his Government by his mig
gardly style of living and, it is even said,
brought upon himself a certain odium
through having diverted to his own use
the larger part of the allowance made by
the Government for the purpose of rent
ing and maintaining a legation. 1t is said
of him that he never entertained; that he
lived like miser in wretched bachelor
room over an obscure shop, and as the
story goes, he was reproach to his coun-
try from every point Of view. All this is
nonsense and riGmarole of the most ex-
travagant description. Baron FAyA lived
well and generously. His wife being in
Italy, he did not keep IN large private
establishment, but he had comfortable
apartments ON II street, near Seventeenth,
taking his meals at the Metropolitan
Club and he entertained as freely and as
often as a gentleman of his age and cir
eumstances could have been expected to.
Among the handsomest and most artistic
dinners given during the season were those
of Baron FAvA at his club. The news
snatGhers must have been sorely driven
for padding or strangely careless as to
their authority when they took up and
circulated this very rickety canard.

unions of New Orleans are anxious TO
break down the monopoly of the fruit
handling business, which has for so many
years been enjoyed by the Italians. The
latter are not in harmony with the com
munity in which they soioun. Their
methods are foreign, they live apart, and
they work upon lines that are abhorrent
to American ideas. The history of the
methods whereby they have held this
monopoly is u history of crime, of in
timidation and murder. They have
achieved by violence and terrorism what
other laboring classes have sought to ac-
Complish by organization and by peace
full means. We are not surprised that
the trades of the Crescent City have re-
solved to put an end to a condition of
things which is antagonistic TO them and
repugnant to their civilization. Many of
the laboring men of New Orleans-thou-
sands, in fact-are of foreign birth or
extraction but they do not remain for
ePncrs there. They do not herd to-
Fother, maintaining their own language
and their own customs, and setting up
among themselves tribunals which they
recognize as superior to the laws and the
courts of their adopted country. On the
contrary, they become absorbed by the
population. They are assimilated and
enter by the mass. In a word they de-
Velop into American citizens. II is not
surprising that between the great con
glomerate, but AT the same time, homo
geneous body, and these resolute aliens
there should exist distinct and irrecon-
Cllable antagonism. The Italians remain a
class apart, resisting fusion and main
tanning a stubborn isolation. They per-
sistently invite the hostility which has
at last manifested itself, by laying claim
TO the exclusive enjoyment of a certain
perquisite. And this claim of theirs is
based, not upon their rights as American
citizens or their merit as individuals, but
upon their existence as concrete for
eign body and the facility with which
they can employ violence and intimida-
tion to support an impudent and mon
Strous pretension. It is to be hoped that
no disorder will occur, but one can well
understand that the trades unions and
laboring classes generally should at last

claims to a monopoly of the fruit-hand-
