Answer OF Judge Whltehouse.

1t is well settled law that when a man
removes from on town to another. II
from one state Ia another, it is the union
of personal presence in the new town
with an intention to remain there for
an indefinite period. which constitutes
the residence in The new town.
If. for instance, man breaks up
housekeeping in Massachusetts, ana
comes 10 Augusta With his household
goods With the intention 10 work here
anG have his home here for an indefi-
mite period, and ne personally remains
here and works here. his residence in
Augusta viii commence from the dag
he arrives in Augusta although. for
want of a rent in Augusta or for other
temporary reasons, the wife may re-
main in Massachusetts for several
months The husband has the legal
right To choose his residence. 1t is his
Will and intention that must control.

Then, all at once sounded several
times the screams of women. 1t seemed
as though there were more than one
OF them, and I Immediately imagined
of course, that Ippolta and her attend
ant, opening the door to pass out, had
been confronted by the malefactors
who had done my business. Then
heard the gate slammed to, with
great noise, as If the damosels had sue
ceeded in putting it between them and
their enemies, and, after that, the
tramp of swiftly departing footsteps,
and all was still again. I hoped and
believed that no harm had come to my
beautiful mistress or her attendant.
Had 1 had with me the ingenious
contrivance with which I had scaled
the enchanted mesa of New Mexico, I
could quickly have got out OF the we'll.
AS, however, I had it not, and as the

A general buzz and murmur of APP
probation and satisfaction passed
around the chapel.
"All hail to the prince!" cried Lieu
tenant Castracani.
Hail! Prince Timoteo, hall" came
from two hundred threats.
I was now called upon to make a
speech, and 1 at once signifed my will
ingness to oblige them, and, mounting
into pulpit or rostrum at one end of
the chamber, l gave them an address
which, if it was not the best l ever
made, was certainly better than any
which they had previously listened to-
l shall not give the discourse verba tim.
Suffice it to mention that I had much
to say of the corruption OF the court,
of the high tax rate, and of the filing
of all the offices of the State with the
creatures of Castruccio.
These Offices" said I, "belong to us.
Otherwise, go to, what are We here
for?'
At this point there was great ap-
plause.
when we shall have got the upper
hand of this tyrannical and selfish des-
pot. srrah," 1 continued, there shall
be new deal, and all of these places
and emoluments shall be apportioneL
among the honorable, single-minded
and patriotic members of our order.
For it would be q grievous sin to leave
these fat posts and situations in the
hands of their present incompetent
and corrupt possessors; and has 1t not
with truth been said that to the vic
tors belong the spols?"
At this point the applause was deaf
ening.
l now ran short of material for con-
tinuing my grafton, and argued at
great length upon the tariff. The SIM
ple-minded warriors, who had never
imported anything. and never would
import anything, became quite enthu-
siastic over the matter-so enthusiasts
tic that, even after I had finished my
haranguc, they divided up into small
groups and continued the discussion
with much heat.
I was now taken to one side by sew
eral of the more important members of
the elevationist conspiracy. the lieuten-
ant of the band, the noble Count
Baldaccio Castracani being one Of the
number, and was at once let into the
inner secrets of the order. My sur
when l found that it was their plan to
rise against the power of Castruccio
that very night, to sack the palace,
and to put the duke and his nearest
relatives to the sword. If the PROPOSE
ton had been made to me upon the
preceding day, l would doubtless have
fallen in with it. But now, since I had
seen and learned to love so ardently'
the debonair and queen-like Ippolita,
it was impossible. My own scheme
was to espouse the charming and in
genuous countess as soon as it was ex-
pedient, and afterwards to depose,
without bloodshed, the duke, her
father, and to set myself in his place.
But how convince these blood-thirsty
"condottieri' of the advantages of my
more peaceful measures?
by my faith. fair gentlemen" said
I, but we seem to be in a great haste
about the matter. AS We are ware, my
noble father, the Prince Arnolfo, did
but yesterday, at midday, depart this
life; and it were a sin and most
grievous shame, an 1 were to go about

ing night, when, as by reason of a
feast which is then prepared. there are
twice the number. Pardy, most noble
Timoteo, cast off thy priestly disguise,
and I will soon present to thee thy
doughty and faithful vassals."
I did as he bid me. My costly raj
ment had partially dried by this time,
so that I doubtless presented quite a
high-born and imposing appearance.
My guide stood himself at my side and
shouted out to the multitude:
"Ho, comrades at arms and worthy
officers Of the elevationist party, gather
round me and hear my words. for I
have something of import to acQuaint
We with"
With that. they began to come for
ward from the remote parts Of the
chamber and to crowd around him.
What says our trusty lieutenant?"
exclaimed a long lank knight among
them. Let the valiant Castracani
speak; let there be no let to his COM
munication."
With this feeble attempt at humor on
the part of the long lank knight, there
seemed to be no sympathy. He HIM
self was the only one to laugh at the
remark, and many of the bystanders
looked at him askance, and handled
their sword hits ominously.

while blue drapery, ornamented with

covered every available space, and
many dim and somber portraits of
great soldiers and dignitaries of the

walls. At one end of the apartment, be-

with his secretary and officers, and at
the other end, upon long oaken bench
