Theories With Respect to Name Of
Famous Street

Famous Street.
Liverpool Post: The busy thorough
fare which we know as Piccadilly is far
removed from anything rural as it is
possible to imagine, and it can hardly
be realized that there was a time when
merely one or two houses stood on
what is now one Of the finest and rich
est Of the worlds streets. The name
P~iccadilly, appears to be derived from
the rufus, pfcadils, or piccadilloes worn
by the gallants of the time of James
l.. n Charles l., the stiffening points
Of which resembled spear heads or pic
ardils, a minutive Of "pica" from the
Spanish and Italian. Blount, in his
G~lossographia 1850, interprets 1t as
the edge or a skirt of a garment and a
stiff collar or band, for the neck and
dilloes (the pillory) in Hudibras. Thus
the first house Guilt in the road may
have been so named from its being
the utmost or skirt house Of the sub
urbs that way Others say the name
is taken from the fact that "one Hig-
gins who built it (the house) got most
Of his estate from the sale OF picca-
dillas," but the name occurs many years
earlier than the mention Of the first
house, thus Gerard, in his Herbal
(1596), hat "the small wild bee-glosse
grows upon the drie-ditch bankes about
Piccadilla." The road is referred to in
Slows narrative of Sir Thomas wy
ats rebellion in 1854 as the highway

CHAPTER NNNE.
THE STORY OF HIS LIFE.

The strange story of Count Massini's
life may briefly be set down as follows:
A member Of an ancient and noble
family in the north of Italy, living in
impoverished circumstances, he had
in his youth studied medicine in the
University of Padua, with the intention
Of becoming a. doctor. But whilst
yet a student, his ~singularly
handsome appearance and suave
manners won him the affection of the
only daughter of Count Sasari, who pos
sessed a large fortune in her own right,
Inherited from her dead mother. Her ia
Tiers determined opposition failed to pre-
vent the girl from marrying Massini; and
in her endeavor to show him her love and
trust, she settled her wealth on him in
case she predeceased him.
Her handsome, vivacious young husband
appeared as much Infatuated by her as
she was by him; SO that his devotion ulti-
mately won her fathers approval of the
marriage he had bitterly opposed. Mas.
SIM gave up his studies and abandoned.
the idea Of becoming a doctor, and with
plenty of time and his wife's money al
his disposal, he soon began to indulge hi.
passion for gambling. Thai he might play
more freely and without reproach, he con-
tinually absented himself from his young
wife, whom he had never really loved.
Three years after marriage he had been
hastily from Nice to be present
at the birth of his son. That he had lost
every available penny and had mortgaged
his wife's property was a secret that he
jealousy guarded from her and her ia
trer. Contrary to the expectations of the
doctors, she failed to recover strength
after childbirth-a threatened calamity
that increased her husbands devotion: for
from thai time on he seldom left her
bedside, where he sat with his hands
clasping hers, whilst her eyes beamed on
him with indescribable love and gratitude.
As time passed she became gradually
more exhausted, and her doctors aban-
doned hope OF saving her; but refusing to
despair, her father summoned DR.. Zoffani
of Pisa, who, though at this time a young
man, had already gained a wide reputa-
ton for his skill. However, by the time
he arrived the young wife and mother had
passed painlessly, if somewhat suddenly,
out Of life.
Certain signs which had escaped the
other doctors Immediately caught the at
tention of this shrewd physician as he
looked at the dead countess; and examine
alton convinced him that she had been
poisoned by atropa mandragora, which, if
given in minute doses, leaves little trace
behind.
Inquiry further led Zoffani to know that
her husband benefited by her death. To
him the doctor stated that the countess
had been poisoned. Massini read detec-
ton and accusation In the eyes watching
him, and taking a bold step he pointed
out that this discovery could not bring
the dead to life, whilst he would cause
pain and scandal to two noble families.
He added that silence would bring such
reward as Zoffani chose to name.
The latter, who had already been bitten
by the craze for alchemy, saw in this offer
the means of beginning the work that

she preserved several big jars of the

made the trip. The child fed upon the,

Pierce had entered politics within
Two years after his admission to the
bar, had served in the New Hampshire
legislature, had been sent to congress
at the age of tw~enty-nine and at
thirty-three had been chosen United
states senator, being then the youngest
members of that body. Resigning his
seat after five years, he returned to
the practice of law. But he certainly
did not relapse into o%bscurity, for in
the interval between 1912 and 1856 he
had declined a nomination for gov

an appointment to the senate and the
offer Of a place in Folks cabinet as at
