When Chaucer Went to Italy.

On the 1st of December, 1872, "Geof- fey Chaucer, esquire of the king, sent beyond the sea to transact some secret business of the lord king intrusted to him bythe same lord king" received, ''in moneys delivered into his own hands, on account of his expenses" the then considerable sum of e66 I3s. 4d. The mission to which the poet belonged included besides him James Prnnan and John de Mari, Q Genoese citizen. both being named before Chaucer in the com- mission delivered to them on the 18th of November of the same year. The journey lasted till the following autumn, and was in any case finished in Novem- Der, 1873, for we find Chaucer on the 22d of that month receiving with his own hands" in London the arrears of a yearly pension granted to him some time before by letters patent pro bono servitio. The sum awarded to him at starting did not prove sufficient to cover his expenses He produced an account of them, which was examined by the exchequer. and, after some delay neces- sitated by the verification of his com poti, further sum of f25 6s- Sd. was  allowed to him, on Saturday, the 4th of February, 1874. The issue roll from which this information is derived tells us at the same time which were the countries beyond the sea where Chaucer had had to go. He had travelled flor the business of the king toward Genoa and Florence.
 Chaucer was, at the time he started, 32 years of age, having been born Gas seems most probable) in 1S40. He had already seen much and gone through a variety of experiences He had made war in France; he had been a prisoner there he had been in love; he had married; he enjoyed some celebrity as a poet, having written many an ympne" to the god of love, his beautiful elegy on the death of "Blaunche the Duchesse, " and, above all, his translation of the "Romaunt of the Rose" which had made him known on the continent and had obtained for him the praise of Bus tache des Champs. the best French poet of the day.-Nineteenth Century.

Major McKinley's Visitors.

CANTON, O., Sept. 30.-Rain fell here necessarily, and demonstrations on the Mckinley lawn were entirely out of the question. Four of the visiting delegations announced were postponed. The soldiers from the home at Sandusky and residents of the city arrived in special train of seven coaches. They were taken to the Tabernacle where Major Mckinley met them. Addresses were made by Sergeant Hopkins on behalf of the soldiers and by L. W. Hull on behalf of the citizens.
 In response to these addresses Major Mckinley said in part:
 "I wish I might be able to make fitting and suitable responses to the gracious words of congratulation and good will which have been spoken in your behalf by Sergeant Hopkins and MT. Hull It is indeed kind and generous act of com radeship that brings on this unpleasant day the members of the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Home of Sandusky to this city to pay me a visit. My comrades, l fully and heartily appreciate it. No body of men who have visited me in the last three months have given me more pleas ure or touched me more deeply than my old comrades of Sandusky Home. When you entered the seryice you were younger than you are now. Thirty five years ago most of you enlisted, and 31 years ago most of you were mustered out of the service You were then fresh and young, with the red wine5 of early manhood mantling your cheeks. You are older now, but your hearts warm to the country and the old flag, just as it did in 1861, not for the pittance that was paid. You entered not for glory or for popular applause, but you entered the service from the purest and highest motives of patriotism, thai
 no harm should come to your country That was the motive of every old soldier. V special train of ten coaches brought s second delegation. It started from Walker
