If it is not trae that prophet is

certainly the case that n great man is
frequently without honor in his own
family, or ut least among it's younger
members, says the Youths Companion.
You never read my boolls!" said an
eminent historian in tone Of pre-

but now l only like books that are in

The famous question of Thacllcray's
little daughter. recently recalled anew
by Mrs. Ritchic's delightful rcminis-
cenccs of her father, was in tho same
vein.
Papa" she asked, looking up from
the volume of Thaclleray's great rival
in popular favor, Dickens, which she
held in her lap, ''why do you not write
books like Nicholas Nicl1leby?"
Il wish could, my dear" was the
generous reply.
a new anecdote of the artist Meis-
sonier and his young granddaughter,
related by the ''Englishman in Paris"
surpasses either of these. A friend had
presented the little lady, then in her
early teens, with Il very elegant fan,
the sticks of which were of ivory beau
tifully and richly carved, while the web
of the fan itself was of the fine black
Gauzc entirely plain. No doubt the
donor had thought that the child's
famous grandfather would decorate it
for her, and had selected one for that
purpose.
Such was Mcissonier's int ntion, as
soon as the pretty triflc was displayed
to him. He took his brush and was
about to lay the first stroke upon the
delicate fabric when he was interrupt
cd by an exclamation of dismay from
its proud posscssor. "I.oolI!" she cried,
''if he is not going to spoil my fan with
his little doll-fgures"
There the story stops, as such stories
are wont to do. Sticks of silver would
have made the fan less precious than
the touch of that brush, but whether
the child changed her mind or remained
firm i'll her objection to its adornment
with her grandfathcrs ''doll-fgures''-
the exquisite miniature drawings for
which Mcissonicr was cclebrated-we
can but guess. We may be quite sure,

he receives privately he always meets
his visitor at the door, to which he
again accompanies him when he leaves.
He interests himself in public matters
very deeply and solaces--his toll
with the chase. In summer, up
the Alps and in the valley of
Aosta; in winter, at Licola, near
Naples, or in some other convenient
royal park, he camps out for days ut
stretch, and hundreds of animals, from
the timid hare and crafty fox to the
savage wild boar, fall under his dexter
GUS aim. Humbert is good hearted and
charitable almost to excess. Many fami-
lies of state officials, army officers md
veterans, who have been left in desti-
tuition and poverty, arc provided for by
him; and in times of any public calami-
ty in Italy he never fails to respond to
the cry of distress, and sends imme-
diately large sums of money. In the en-
couragemcnt of the arts, sciences and
industrial schools he is liberal. The
famous prizes of the "Accademia del
Lincci'-1O0.00 francs-wcrc instituted
and are maintained by him.
At the court of tic Quirinal tho
United States ministers and American
visitors arc always received with
special kindness and cordiality. Hum
bert loves America and her people, and
among tho numerous memorials re-
ceived by him upon the death of Victor
Emanuel he prizes most highly and has
assigned to the most conspicuous place
the address presented to him January
II, 1873, by Mr.. Marsh, then United
States minister ut Rome, continuing
the signatures of one hundred and fifty
American residents of the Imperial city
in that address Victor Emanuel is de-
scribcd as "thc principal instrument Of
God in the liberation and unifcation OF
ITALY," and ''the king, greatest among
kings, for the Immaculate loyalty with
which he preserved the constitution Of
his nation and the liberty of his people"
10 Humbert's personal interest is due
the fact that the Italian government
sent to this country the monument to
Columbus on board warship; and
through the same influence Italy, mt
the next naval parade in New York,
will be represented by three Of the most
beautiful and powerful cruisers of her
navy, under the command of Rear Ad-
miral Magnaghi.
Of Queen Margherita let it suffice to
say that not only her physical beauty
and personal fascination endear her to
the hearts OF her people, but her many
accomplishments and amiablc and noble
qualities. She is an ardent devotec OF

tory; speaks, besides her own language
English, German, Spanish, French and
Russian, and is thus able to converse
ilucntly with the representatives of the
leading foreign nations in their respect

in the character of the king. With all
his good qualities as a man and as a
sovereign, lIumbcrt is far from being
model husband, and candor compels
the statement that he has inherited the
vicious rs well as the manly and other
admirable characteristics of Victor
Emanuel. Within a few months only
after the date of his marriage his Young
wife was forced by the fragrant charac-
ter of her husbands lason with one of
her Understanding TO appeal to King
Victor Emanuel for interference in her
behalf, threatening that, unless he
came to her assistance, she would leave
her husband and take steps to secure a
legal separa ton.
The Duchess of Litta has constituted
by no means the only cloud to the mar
