Around Mt. Etna are woven so many

The fact that the earthquake and the

TO his own remarkable poetic gifts and
literary tastes, managed to establish
himself so completely in the conf
ing to their lacek OF training and
dence and favor of the queen. that he
was able to obtain through her a
knowledge OF the motive actuating
King Charles, and of the latter's plans
and policies, and also to turn her to
unconscious account In that vast and
intricate network OF intrigue. of which
he was the moving spirit, and which
had for its object the Russianizing of
Roumania, as well as the entire south
east OF Europe.
Like Hitrovo, the Italian diplomat,
Count Nigra VINO died last year. was
a master of dainty verse. and BY
means Of his sonnets managed while
italian ambassador at the court of
the Tuilcrics, to charm Empress
Eugenie into the belief that he was
her most ardent admirer, and COM
pletely subservent to her wishes.
Relying on his devotion she made OF
him not only friend but also a con.
fldant, and he was thus enabled by
means Of the information which he
obtained from her concerning the
projects of Napoleon III. to keep his
own government duly posted. When
the war OF 1870 broke out Eugenie
firmly believed, as she had believed
all along, that France would be able
to rely uron the assistance of Italy,
and not until she discovered that
Italy had been led by the urgent ad-
vice from Nigra to refrain from iden-
tifying herself with cause doomed
from the outset TO disaster and to
defeat, did she realize that the ro-
mantle devotion Of King Victor En-
manuel's ambassador had been merely
part and parcel Of his diplomatic

cruiser was we'll along on her 1,000-

aboard. Again 1t missed connections
and was sent from Amapala to San

San Francisco postmaster had the
sack on his hands and again he found
that the cruiser had departed, this
