Are all visitors 10 the Engadine
aware, we wonder, that the proprietor
of one of the hotels at St Moritz-Mr
Caspar Badrutt-is the happy possessor
of an admirable replica or early copy of
Raphaels moss famous picture, the
"Sistine Madonna We have said "a
replica or early copy" but Mr.. Badrutt
himself boldly claims his as the orig
inal work and the Dresden picture as
the copy. A handsome folio, setting
forth his case and giving photographers
of the two pictures, has recently been
published at Zurich. A complete his
tory, with many curious details, of the
st. Moritz picture is also given.
1t was originally in the possession of
Alfonso, duke of Ferrara. and was
bought by Mr. Badrutt's father from a
house in Reggie, in the Emilia. In 1887
he sent it to Herr Sesar, i'll Augsburg,
to be restored, and it is now for the

GREATER NEW YORK.

The Greater New York is practically
assured, lacking only the signature Of
Governor MORTON TO the bill for its crea-
tion. which, IL is both conceded aud
claimed, IL will receive.
The extensive territory which the
American Metropolis will comprise under
the charter which will provide for the
consolidation, comprises the cities of New
York, Brooklyn and Long Island, with
their extensive suburbs; the whole OF
Staten Island, the towns Of Newton,
Flushing and Jamaica, and that part of
he town OF Hampstead which is westerly
OF a straight line drawn from the south
easterIy point OF the town Of Flushing
through the middle of the channel near
Rockaway Beach TO the Atlantic Ocean.
No immediate consolidation Is effected
by the bill IL merely declares that it
shall take effect on Jan. 1, 1898, after
a charter has been prepared and adopted
by the Legislature. Under the terms OF
the bill, however, il the commission
should fail to report within the time
specified. or il the legislature should fail
to adopt the bills prepared by 1t, the
territory would, nevertheless, be legally
consolidated on Jan. /, 1893, but without
any provision having been made for it's
government.
The commission which is TO prepare
the bill or bills which are to constitute
the charter is to consist of President

THE little birds in the State House caves
ceased their chirping and futtered down
to take up position OF better vantage on
the window sill of the House chamber.
The leaves on the trees burst their buds
hastily the better to catch the sound
borne from the chamber on the early
summer zephyrs. The Secretary of State
rose from his chair in haste and whit hered
away, four steps at time, down stairs to
the House lobby. All the mince pies
and the prune pies and the apple pies on
the lunch table lifted their upper crusts
to harken AND to learn, and the raisin
cake raised itself the better to give ear.
All nature put up the shutters and took
an hour off to take in the entertainment.
The Senate adjourned and the Governor
threw his gavel out OF the window In de-
spair. For there on the floor OF the
lower House stood DIR. GARvIN. And he
was expounding, not to say interpreting,
the constitution of the State of Rhode
Island.
