That Swell Count d'Orsay.

Mrs. Newton Grassland, whom the
count once took into dinner, remarked
that his hands, "large, white and appa1-
emily soft, had not the physiognomy
which pleases the critical observer and
student of hands, for they indicated
self indulgence. He struck her, more
over, as being "mannish rather than
manly, and yet with touch of effem-
macy quite different from that woman
like tenderness which adds to the excel
lence of man. Thackeray met the
splendid humbug in 1850 and describes
him as Giving in a charming atelier,
which he has fitted up for himself with
arms and trophies, pictures and looking
glasses, the tomb of Blessington, the
sword and star of Napoleon, and cru
cifix over his bed. And here he dwells, :"
writes the cynic, without any doubts
or remorses, admiring himself in the
most horrible pictures which he has
painted, and statues which he gets done
for him.
The count had received within ~
months Of his marriage a sum of e20,-
900, while Lord Blessington arranged
that after his decease q similar sum
should be settled upon him for life. So
generous a dower-a genuine pretium
quelle, as it was-might have made

wife, who, three years after her mar
riage, when she had reached the age of
10 grew to be remarkably handsome
woman. Not for her was the brilliant
wits and wonderful fascination"
which made D'Orsay the pet Of society.
That was reserved for others.
Instead of being the wife of her hus-
band and the mistress of her home, she
found herself supernumerary in cir
Gle with which she had no sympathy.
Disagreements followed, rebellion set
in, and in the autumn of 1881 she and
Count d'Orsay separated by mutual
consent. Academy

The Punishment of the Bagno.

In former times the punishment of
the bagno (bath), one of the most clev-
erly cruel infections ever devised by an
official of the torture chamber, was ad-
ministered in Italy, probably in Venice,
where the water of the lagoons played
so prominent part in its penal system.
The punishment was as follows:
The prisoner was placed in vat the
sides of which were slightly in excess
of the average height of man. In order
to hold in check the rising tide of a
supply Of water which ran into the vat
in a constant stream the criminal was
furnished with a scoop with which to
bale out the water as fast as it came in.
The respite from death by immersion
thus obtained was more or less pro-
longed, according to the powers of en-
durance possessed by the victim. But
imagine the moral torture, the exhaust
ing and even hideously grotesque efforts,
the incessant and pitiless toll by night
and day, to stave off the dread moment,
fast approaching, when, overcome by
sleep and fatigue. he was unable to
struggle any longer against his fate. -
