QUEER MANIA Of A sIciLIAN.
Kept a Regimen of sculptors at Work
on GrOtesque Statues.

Kept a Regimen of Sculptors at Work
on GrOtesque Statues.
The Sicilian prince of yalguanera at
the beginning of this century was a
monomaniac of q rare description. He
succeeded to one of the largest fortunes
in Europe, his habits were studious and
economical, he had no childreni. but,
in spite of these advantages for saving
money, he contrived to ruin himself.
The prince had a fancy for grotesque
statues, with which he adorned the
stately mansion of his forefathers.
Many descriptions Of the place are ex-
tant, for it WAS renowned through Eu-
rope in its day. Brydone visited it and
he has left us a pleasant picture. Ap-
preaching by q noble avenue, one found
the palace encircled by an "army'' oil
monsters. "The absurdity of the
wretched Imagination which created
them is not less astonishing than its
wonderful fertility" says Brydone.
"Some were a compound of five or six
animals which have no resemblance in
nature. In one instance the head Of a
lion was set upon the neck of a goose,
with the body of a lizard, the eye of a
goat and the tail of a fox. Upon the
back of this object stood another with
five or six heads and q grove of horns.
There is no kind Of a horn in the world
that he has not collected, and his pleas
ure is to see them all lourishing on the
same skull"
OF such horrors there were GOO in the
venue and the courtyard alone when
Prydone saw the collection, and the
prince maintained a regime of sculptors
who were rewarded proportionately to
their success in designing new and I'M
~paralleled combinations. The effect up
on q superstitious ~peasantry may be
imagined. So serious was the agitation
that the government of Sicily threat
ened to demolish the wondrous array
several times, buta acknowledgements
was not to be offended in those days
without the grRvest cause.
The inside of the house was eccentric
in another fashion. Here the madman
diverted himself with columns and
arches and pyramids of cups and sau-
GERS, teapots and the like, cemented to.
gether. One column, for Instance,
started from q great porcelain vase Of
shape familiar in bedrooms, but not
elsewhere; the shaft was teapots, with
the spouts p~rotruding, graduated in size
up to a capital of fowerPots. The open
ings of the chimney pieces were en-
crusted in this manner, the chimney
pieces were loaded up to the ceiling, and
the magnificent rooms Of the palace
were divided by fantastic arches Of the
same construction. China was r and
fine in Sicily at that day, and most OF
the pieces thus treated had great value.
The princes bedroom was a chamber Of
supreme horrors. Reptiles awful be-
yond conception had their home there,
intermixed with pleasing busts and
statues which if turned, showed a skele.

crepitude. We have never observed an
