now arising.

was brought up next door 10 one of Miss
RItches' French maids.
I130-Count Spaghetti has just changed
his coat. The police officer has been sus-
pended from the force pending examination
for SANDER.
12-The count and his prospective bride
are going for a drive behind two horses val
ued at $4,000 each. 1t is said that the count
expends 800 a year for eau de quinine,
with which to brighten the coats of these

her with great courtesy, the more when he
heard that the duke, having stayed TO muster
all his force, for fear of Antonio, had at
length appointed the DeXtday for the burning
of her house at Rilano, and the carrying offof
all her goods. These tidinys he gave her, and
though he spoke gently she fell at once into
great distress, declaring that she had not be-

CHAPTER VII.

COUNT AS1oNIo AND THE LADY OF RILAEo.
From the lips OF Tommasino himself,
who was cousin TO Count Antonio, greatly
loved 10y him, and partaker in all his enter
prises during the, time of his sojourn as
an outlaw in the hills, this, the story of the
lady OF Rlano, came 10 my venerable
brother in Christ, Niccolo; and the same
Niccolo, being very old man, told ii TO
me, SO that know that the story is true and
every part OF it, and tread here not the
doubtful ground OF legend, but on the firm
rock of the word OF honest men. And there
is but one thing doubtful. Tommaxino him.
self being unable to know the verify of it;
yet that one thing is OF small moment, for
IL is no more than whether the lady came
first To Duke Valentine, offering her aid
or whether the duke, who since the affair
OF the sacred bones had been ever active
in laying schemes against Antonio, cast
his eyes upon the Lady ,and perceiving that
she was very fair and likely to serve his
turn, sent for her and persuaded her by
gifts and by the promise OF a great mar
riage TO take in hand the task.
BE that as il may, it is certain that in the
fourth year of Count Antonio's outlawry
the Lady Venusta came from Rilano,
where she dwelt. and talked long with the
duke in llis cabinet, So that men and women
with greater urgency asked what his high
ness did to take such one into ms counsels,
for he had himself forbidden her to live in
the city, and constrained her TO abiGe in
her house at Rilano, by reason of reports
touching her fair name. Nor did she then
stay in Foniola, but having had audience
of the duke, returned straightway TO Rilano,
and for the space OF three weeks rested
there, and the duke told nothing To his lords
OF what had passed between him and the
lady, while the Count Antonio and his
friends knew not so much as that the duke
had held conference with the lady, for
great penalties had been deCreed against
any man who sent word to Antonio of
what had passed in the city and the pilemen

4 Dinner in His Honor Given by the Citi-
zens of Buffalo, N. Y,

Buffalo. n. Y, November S.-Neyer
has this city seen a more representative
body of citizens than assembled tonight
in the Buffalo Club TO do honor to Hon.
Chauncoy NJ Depew. The dinner was
rendered to Mr.. Depew not alone be-
cause of his prominence in affairs OF
commerce, but quite as much for the
special interest he has always mani
tested in the welfare of this city. Hon.
Edgar B. levitt, Mayor Of Buffalo, pre-
sided and welcomed the guests Of honor
in Il speech which elaborated the sentl-
ments that had inspired the banquet.
Mr. John n. Scatcherd, president OF the
Bank Of Buffalo, was POSTMASTER.
The chief speech OF the evening was
that OF Mr.. Depew.
Speaking Of The wealth and power OF
this country and Of the benefcence o.
its government, MIR. DepeW said:
Our processes of development have
been neither hysterical nor accidental,
but automatic. Our form of govern
ment is the only form yet devised cap
able OF indefinite expansion without
weakening its cohesive power.

or to the integrity Of our institutions,
or to the conservative safeguards Of life

which will involve the whole republic.
The Debs revolution, with Governors Of
States and Mayors of cities in sympa
thy, was a remarkable test. Though it
involved one-third of the States and
one-half of The territories Of the union,
yet with the Confederate veterans of
The South eagerly proffering their SER
vice TO the government and the sober
sense of the New England and Middle
States sustaining the President, the res
olution was dissipated almost as quick
ly as it had originated with the mini
mum Of loss on either life or property.
$50 the Populist frenzy may involve
half a dozen cOmmonwealths. or a wild,
passionate, unreasoning demand for de-
based currency may find almost unani-
nous expression in a large section Of
The republic and yet the sober sense
and calm judgment Of the rest by mere
inertia wears out or crushes out the
dangerous excitement. Every year 1t
becomes more difficult to involve the
whole people in actions or opinions
which may threaten the settled prin-
ciples of the gOvernmen or Of commerce
or of trade"
re paid a warm tribute to two citi-
zens of Buffalo who he said, each in his
time. did right; the one (Elbridge G.
Sperry) in opposing limitless initiation
of the currency, and the other Grover
Cleveland in protecting the honest dol
lar. He said in conclusion:
'I want to profess to you my pro
found appreciation of this unique and
distinguished honor. You might have
waited until I was dead and passed a
resolution to be engraved upon my
tombstone. but it is sweeter far to enjoy
taffy while living than to be decorated
with epitaphs when dead"

they prove satisfactory the system will

that Presidential Offices as we'll as
