height whose name was Aldebaran
and who had been the war horse of the
late Arnolfo, and my servant mount
ing stout and well fed ass. we set
forth gayly toward the encounter Of
ventures as wonderful as any ever en-
gagged in by the knight of La Mancha
and his squire.
The gates of the town were but a
mile from my country house, and the
ten or fifteen minutes of our ride were
occupied by my trusty seneschal in de-
scribing great dancing festival or ball
which was to be given by Duke Cas-
truccio in his palace that very night
after the burning of the monk. Learn
ing from Jacopo that all the mobiles and
highborn ladies of the duchy had been
asked. that it was the custom of those
who so willed to go masked and finally
and this was the most important con-
ideration-that the dukes daughter
IppOlita, who was to be present, was
more divinely fair and lovely than was
imaginable, l Immediately resolved to
attend the function. Clan Jacopo inter
posed feeble objection on the ground
of tho recent death of the Signor Ar
nolfo, but | overruled him with the eX-
PLANTATION that it would be good politics
thus to appear disguised among my
enemies at time when they least ex-
pected it. He ended by applauding my
resolution and offering to conduct me
to the palace of the duke.
We entered the city through gate
at the southwestern end of it. My
house, as before remarked, was in the
street of the Lions, and thither we
now repaired. 1t had the air of being
uninhabited and was gloomy, square
mansion of stone, surmounted by tow
ers and turrets and gables, and at the
extreme top of these towers, singularly
enough, there was a dilapidated and
unused windmill.
Entering great archway which
stood beside the keep of the castle. we
came to two large doors. one of which
led to the stables and the other to the
dwelling part of the house. Having put
up our beasts and given them enough
provender to last for twenty-four hours
bf necessary, we now entered the de-
serted hall of my forefathers. | will
not describe the inside of it or the con-
tents of it further than to say that it
was embellished and furnished in the
splendor and taste of a century long
gone by and that the marks of age and
decay were upon everything.
After had given the palace a very
cursory inspection and had exhibited
all the joy which a man ordinarily
feels when 10 finds himself. after long

pudent rascality and holiness Of the
proposition. "Gian Jacopo will fit thee
out with the apparel that is necessary.
And let it be done eftsoons, as the
darkness has long since come, and
am minded to go at once"
My strange guest retired with Jaco-
pc and in a few minutes returned so
completely changed that he scarcely
seemed the same person. His garb was
as splendid and costly as that which I
myself wore, and. though the colors of
it were more dazzling and less harmo-
NOUS, he seemed the high bred and
courtly cavalier excepting as to the
face, which still preserved the crafty
look of the discredited friar. We now
masked ourselves and went out into
the street, and, my retainer preceding
us with torch, we set out for the
dukes palace.
"Anent the duke" said Ambrose as
we passed along, 81 would have thee to
know that outside of his little matters
of politics, which, as thou art aware,
necessitates some prevaricating, much
bribery and an assassination now and
then, he is as mild hammered man as
ever scuttled ship or cut throat.
When everything cometh his way, he
is of a most exceeding good nature.
Moreover, he loveth his cup and his
jest right well and maketh excellent
and pleasant company. Nathless, I
would not advise thee to let it be known
this night that thou art Prince limo
thy, the rival of his house. 1t would,
forsooth, be most parlous, and thou
wouldst have short shrift and quick
burial. AS thou hast never been at
court thou hast not yet beheld Castruc-
clos daughter, the Lady Ippolita. Pre-
pare thee, then, for a very ecstasy Of
admiration, for she is the most beaute-
Gus creature in the realm. OF middling
stature, yet with limbs nodded like
those of a Greek nymph, with a face
lovely to look upon, dark, melting eyes
and a great plenty of waving hair as.
black as night-such is the Lady Ip-
polita. Moreover she is courteous,
queenly, chaste and bright among all
the wickedness and corruption Of the
court, as is a pond lily lifting it's fair
head out of green and stagnant pool"
We We're now come into the street of
the Traditori, and | beheld for the first
time the ducal palace. 1t resembled
somewhat the old palace of the Medicf

of white marble. The whole front of it
was lighted up with lanterns of differ
ent colors, and, as many gayly dressed
people were going in and some coming
out it presented very pleasing and
lively scene. Guards carrying halberds
and respondent in full armor stood at
every point, but we passed by them IN

in the great hall of the palace, where
the company was assembled.

200 persons present, gay and
festive. cavaliers, like our
selves, and fair ladies and
gray bearded, reverend signors and
wrinkled and bustling duennas. In,
fact, had never seen so many signors,
signoras and signorinas together. A
goodly number of the cavaliers, as we'll
as some of the danes, were masked,
and there seemed to have been a con-
test among the company as to which
might wear the most gaudy and di-
verse hues. AS they passed to and fro
or mingled in the mazes of the dance,
a brilliant and dazzling kaleidoscope of
color, 1 exclaimed to myself that l had
never seen a sight more goodly.

cumstances.

ey to Fordsville, is under arrest at
Irvington, and ]. C. Schlitzbaum, the
agent Of the company, is being held
at Falls of Rough.
Saturday morning Schitzbaum turn
ed up at Falls of Rough, ten miles
away. He stated that he was held up
robbed and kidnapped during the night.
He first decided to sta y at the depot
all night, he says. but finally got ner-
vous and started to the hotel, which
is only one square away. Between the
two places he was set upon and robbed
of the money by three men.
His story is that they forced him
to go with them in order he should
not give the alarm and cause them
to be followed. There was no train
out of town and they forced him to
walk with them to Falls Of Rough.
The express people and the officers
believe the whole affair was conspi
racy to defraud the American Express
Company out of $4,000.

Is a School for Farmers.

The state farmers institute now be-
ing held under the auspices of Clem-
son college is in every sense school
for farmers, and the farmers are not
only regular in attendance upon its
sessions, but utilize every moment OF
their recreation time.
Two sessions are held each day,
from 10 a. m to p. m, and from to
10 o'clock at night. The rest of the
day Is spent in visiting the college
farm, the experiment station farm, the
horticultural grounds, the cattle barns,
the dairy, the poultry yards, and the
different college buildings where are
exhibited work done by students and
scientific apparatus and appliances,
and last, but not least in discussions
among themselves Of farming opera
tions. The farmers often reverse
school methods by asking the speaker
qustions and propounding problems
for his solution, and that lecturer
makes most friends who is boldest and
most independent in his opinions and
most ready with a reason for any as
sertion he has made. 1t is predicted
on all sides that these al nual instl-
tutes will produce revolution in
farming in South Carolina.

NOW A CLOSED INCIDENT.
Trustees Of Emory College Meet and
Accept Resignation OF Pro-
fessor Siedd.

The resignation Of Professor An.
drew Sledd from the chair Of Latin in
Emory college has been accepted by
the board Of trustees Of that college,
at their meeting held in Atlanta
Tuesday.
The resignation of Professor Sledd
followed the vigorous outburst which
followed an article from his pen on
the negro question, printed in the July
number of the Atlantic Monthly. He
handed in his resignation to Presl-
dent James E. Dickey some days ago,
and it was accepted at the meeting OF
the board of directors.
The members Of the committee dis
cussed the resignation of Professor
Sledd at some length and decided that
it was best to accept 1t, which they
did. No other business was transact
ed, and the committee then adjourned.
The meeting was held in secret, and
the members of the committee refused
to discuss the matter at all, other than
to announce that the resignation OF
Professor S!edd had been accepted.
The action of the executive commit
tee Of the board of trustees IS abso-
lutely final, and their action did not
come as a surprise. 1t is now proba-
Bile that the unfortunate affair, which
mas caused such an outburst in Geor-
gia, will be entirely dropped. Before
the publication Of the article which
caused the commotion, Professor
Sledd has always been highly regard
ed by every one, and was considered
one of the best instructors at Emory.
