Anybody coald have told that 255 wag a boarding house, such a variety of peo ple went in and out, and so many flymen and messenger boys rang the bell, and such an unending succession of grocery and market boys went in at the rear door. Molly Holden's room was on the fourth flxir back, and the smallest in the houee. It was all she could afford. She was a type-writer in s lawyer!! office, and quite abne in the world. For all that she was a plump and cheer ful and cbaru in; it t e girl she was one of those young ladies whom poople in voluntarily call " little girls " with the rouodi st cheeks and Um prettiest eyes i'naginahle, and a way of looking on the bright side of everything always. It would have been strange if Phil Johnson hadn't liked her. He was al ready at the lunch table when Molly tripped into the diainr-room. He bad coolly appropriated old Mr. Smith's place, too, in order that he murbt sit next her. " Voar cheeka are pink, Miss Holden," he said, forgetting his steak in the hap piness of her presence. You have been walking, haven't you?" "Yes," Molly responded, with her. cheeks do less pink for his scrutiny. I don't often take the train ; it's so near." " We must be near each other, Miss Holden our otlires,' said Phil. He was s modest -salaried clerk in atu. insur ance office. " Yort are in the Bartholo mew buildin?, and that's only four blocks down from us. We'll try walk -ing home together some time, won't we?" "If you'd like to," said Molly, rather shyly. "Like to? Nothing could make me happier," with glowing eyes on what he was certain was the loveliest face in the world. " You know, Miss Holden yon must have seen that when I'm with yon" There was a silken rustle in the hall, and a new entrance. Nobody but the most charitable could have said that Mrs. Crowell was nice looking ; and as the boarders of 255 did not feel charitable toward Mrs. Csowell, it was never said. She was tall to a masculine degree, and start! ing'y stout ; her face bad a purplitth tinge ; her eyes were bush-browed and somewhat fierce in expression , and her nnder lip had a determined, and even threatening protrusion. Probably the boarders could have for given Mrs. Crowell'8 lack of personal at tractions if she had been well, anybody but Mrs. Crowell. She occupied th f picious and elegant second floor front, and she was obviously rich ; aud there her virtues appeared to cease. . . She set down in ber accustomed place beside Molly ; the landlady had placed her there because Molly was the only person with whom Mrs. Crowell could get on pleasantly. Molly and Mrs. Cro well. to the amazement and even awe of the boarders in general, were always am icable. " No, I won.t take tea if I can't have it hot," said Mrs. Crowell, in loud and dis tinct tones, which filled the dining-room. "This is merely lukewarm. And lump sugar, if yon please ; I think I have spo ken of that before. And how are you to-day Miss Mary V Phil Johnson swallowed his coffee in an inward rage. He had spoken his last word to Molly for this meal ; he knew that by miserable experience. Mrs. Cro well always absorbed her by sheer force of defiant determination. ' " Quite well, thank yoo ," Molly rejoin ed, with the timidity which even she could not help feeling. " My steak is underdone, Susan," said Mrs. Crowell, sharply. Another piece, if you plea, or this one re-cooked. The books I ordered have come, Miss Mary." "Yes," Molly responded, with a con scientious attempt at gratification, which would have been a greater success if she had not known what was coming. I've been looking forward to your reading them to me. I mentioned it be fore, I think," said Mrs. Crowell, in the matter-of-course way in which she always demanded favors of Molly. " Yes," Molly assented, with kind pa tience. " Yoa will have some time after lunch, will yoa not? I beg your pardon, Mr. Johnson ; I was speaking to Miss Hoi den," said Mrs. Crowell, severely. Phil had pot in a remark in desper ation. " I shall have half an hoar," Molly ad mitted : while Phil choked down a mouthful in impotent rage. " We can have a chapter or two," said Mrs. Crowell, placidly, "Susan, you should keep s fly-screen over those cakes. I am surprised that yoa do not." It seemed an interminable period, even to tntient Molly, before lunch was -over. Mrs. Crowell had found fault with eve rything on the table except ihe salt and ice water, and had monopolized Molly ; rset ESTABLISHED 18137. WEDNESDAY, and poor Phil had gazed at her pretty profile in necessary silence and exasper ation. He kept close to her with bold resolu tion, when Mrs. Crowell rose at last, sweeping Molly wkh her, like an eigle with a kitten. And fortunately Mrs. Cro well stopped to remonstrate with the landlady as to her supply of towels and the cleaning of her windows. "Goodness! How long are you going to submit to it, Miss Holden?" he whis pered, indignantly. ".Shell wear yon out." "Oh, no!" said Molly, with sweet cheerfulness. "I dont.believe anything could do thaLf " Nor L" said Phil, admiringly. " But I Weil, Miss Holden, I like to talk to yoa once in a while. She just absorbs you." Molly smiled for want of a better re sponse, and blushed, i "And I must run tie risk of your thinking me impudent, but I don't like the way she makes yoo convenient You are too good hearted, Miss Molly. You sjend half of your time out of the ofliee reading to her, don't yoa ? She is perfect- ly able, of course, to have a companion for reading, or whatever else. And to de mand it of yoa! 'And don't be angry with me but she doesn't make the slightest return, I'll warrant?" Molly smiled timorocsly. So far from being antry, she felt a little joyful thrlj at his concern for her. " No, she hasn't," she said, trying b look at him, and getting as tar as hissbic stud. " But I'm sorry for her, Mr. Johr son. She's all alone in the world. Sle hasn't any friends, and nobody likes he-. Of course she can be disagreeable ; but well, I get on with her." " Nobody but you could," said Phil, al most tenderly, "And," said;Molly, shyly, " I'm some comfort to her, I think ; and I couldn't be cool to her I couIdn'L" "I believe you're the sweetest girl person in the world," Phil murmured, in unwilling admiration. j And then Mrs. Crowell, having com pletely subdued the landlady, captired Molly with a single imperative glace, and coolly bore her away. " If she would show a little gnvtiude, even, Phil reflected, wrathfully. "But she doesn't feel any, and she's a best If he was angry with Mrs. Crowtl at noon, he was wildly exasperated that evening. He had bought some tbater tickets and had hurried home froi the office breathlessly to ask Molly to g with him. He never ventured so far l-fore and he was all warmth and eager ness. But Mrs. Crowell was already atlinner and Molly was beside uer. She suled at him brightly, to be sore, but th, neces sarily, was all. Mrs. Crowell, when she wajoot mak ing demands of Susan and .npleasant little remarks to the boanJeS talked to ber continuously inher aggressive voice. Phil could not have puti a word, even though his life depended -n it. His good temper did desnd on it. He looked across at Molly's cwn of fair hair it was all he could see c her since old Mr. Smith had secured hiuroper place and grew hot with grieus wrath and pale with apprehension, or he knew it was by no means probab that he could secure a moment with be He heard Mrs,,Crow's hard tones, and gazed glaringly at heieep-haed face with its unpleasant feates. He refused desse rt froningly, and got up from the table witfeomething of a frenzy. Probably it watbrough bis ex cited desperation he dinot know what it was, or how he did itbut he made a determined rush, and fad himself pres ently standing in a.corr of the parlor, with Molly beside him. lnd out in the hall Mrs. Crowell was arply demand ing of everybody whe Miss Holden was. " Well, I did it !" Plilrhispered, with his head necessarily eke to Molly's. " Mercy ! what a drgp she is ! To think of my having tually to kidnap you r They laughed togew with a guilty heartiness which thrttned to become audible. " I have got some tlire ticket, Miss Molly." said Phil, pluspg into his sub ject with an impelling i of Mrs. Crow- II. " I want to tak on. You'll go. Don't say you won't !" . " To-night 7" Mol queried, her bright, beaming face c'.ding quite mis erably. " No, I won't say Lon't I would, with to much pleas; but I can't doit!" . " You ean't? 0, Mislolly, why V he questioned, with real ruish. ' "I don't dare to tell j not after your lecture," Molly, falter. "Is it Mr?. Crowell?2 said, in wretch ed divination.

"She tcok veal twice, and o dishes of toma toes; " Yes," Molly adovd, gently ; " but that is what she as; and I promised to read to her again. I'm sorry 2" Are yoa sorry T il queried. " If I thought that see he Miss Molly,' I'm gcing to put an end by misery. I can only see yoa orce aek, that's plain I'm resigned to that,) remarked, w ith a sort of grim tenders. "But I want to now that that it's all right, anyhowhen I guess I can stand it. I've been love with yoa ever since I eawfyoolo'ly, and I want to marry yoo. Theihat ' plain ! Of course, I can't marrya now ; I haven't anything to get mad on ; bat I shall have, you'll see ; Itork for it, and it Iwon't be long, Molly; - And he knew, wilne happy glance at her face, that there! kst girt in the world was his own He hardly knew n the portiere part ed, and Mrs. Crowehem countenance protr .ded itself, artfoliy was swept away.

But he was by no means ready to stop thinking. He was surprised and overjoyed, there fore, when thecurtains parted and Mol ly came in, with a little exclamation of gladness at sight of him. He sprang to meet her, and then gazed at her in alarm. " What is it, Molly ? What have you been crying about ?" he questioned. Molly sat down on the sofa, and palled him to her side. Her eyes were wet and reddened. "Mrs. Crowell," she said, gently, "did yoa not know ? has nobody told you ? She is dead; she had an apoplecticstroke soon after I left her last night, and died at four this morning. I didn't know till after she was gone." Molly'sl soft lips quivered. Phil was silent. He could not consientiously say that he was grief stricken at Mrs. Cro w ell's death. It was all that he could do to repress a thrill of something like re lief. But he resyected Molly's pretty sor row and soft-hearted tears, and he press ed her band. ' "And, Phil I don't know how to tell it I can hardly believe it yet bat her lawyer called this morning somebody telephoned him and he says I don't know how it can be true but she has left me some money. Of course, she left it nearly all to that library she was so interested in ; but he says that five thousand dollars five thousand, Phil comes to me. Can yoa believe it? And doesn't it disprove all that people thought of her?-' Phil was dazed. Itjioes seem to alter the case," he admitted, bewilderedly. "I don't know that it recalls the fact of her temper a?d her treatment of every body." "Don't Phil," pleaded Molly. "Let's forget it; try, for my sake and hers. .Why, think what we can do with all that, Phil almost more money than I ever heard of! We won't have to wait to get married, will we ?" she said, shyly. "For of course it's yours, too." "Yoa darling!" cried Phil in rapture. "Don't yoa deserve it all ?" "And, Phil," she said, "do you know I think it was all for the best, somehow ? If she had not made you desperate last night, yoa wouldn't have proposed to me; and then yoa might have been too proud to when you knew I had the mon ey. Don't yoa see ? Don't yoa think there was a Providence in it T And Phil kissed her and said be did. Living in the Dark. Mrs. Jefferson, the wife of a wealth gentlemen in New York, wished one day to send some directions to a seamstress. "I will drive over to see her," she said. "It is easier to explain what I want done by talking than by writing." The girl was found in a poor little house by the roadside, just out of the city. She came out smiling to meet her customer, and as 31 rs. Jefferson entered the house, the fathet and mother, white haired old Ciermans, rose to greet her, their faces beaming with kindness and welcome. The room was bare but clean. An open Bible lay on the stand ; a fat cat slept in the sun by the doer. Bat Mrs. Jefferson's eyes were fixed with delight on the roses that climbed over the side of the house and the plants that filled the windows. How is this, Mary V she said. "I am a dear lover of flowers, and pay a skill ful florist to attend to my plants. This rose never grows so luxuriantly under his care ; it is 'actually covering your roof. The plants I have in my house, too, soon lose their freshness, while yours run wild with blossoms. Why is itr "We have the sun and air, madam,' said Mary. "That is all." As Mrs. Jefferson drove homeward these words remained in her mind. She was annoyed at her failure with flowers. She had never considered money in the purchase of the costliest roses and the rarest orchids, but their beauty soon fail ed. Money could not bring sunlight and fresh air into her stately and dark pal ace. lilt seemed to Mrs. Jefferson, as she drove on silently, that there were other flowers which would not bloom in her bouse. She and her husband and daugh ter lacked no luxury which wealth could command. They were people of culture; they had traveled everywhere, and were well received in society ; yet there was ittle of brightness in their lives. A laugh was rarely heard, or a look of af fection exchanged among them. The sun," she thought bitterly, "does not shine in our house. There is no ove there to make as light-hearted." It was only too true. Her husband fretted incessantly about his business ; this man had made a fortune by a lucky chance ; that one had succeeded in poli tics ; he was envious and cynical. Her danghter found a gay life unsatisfactory and hollow ; yet she sought nothing bet ter, and passed half her time in sleep or in complaints. Mrs. Jefferson herself, in all her splendor, wearied of the monoto nous days. Yet these poor people, in their meanly furnished house, were- healthy and hap py.. Even in old age they were clad to be alive. Then she remembered the open Bible, and the tears rose to her eyes. The sou shone into their windows to make their flowers grow, and God's sun was in their herrts to ruare their lives bloom and bear fruit. YuaUC Cumucm- ion. Grant and Cant. Once, when General Grant was a very young scholar, he was much troubled ith one of his lessons. A schoolmate noticing his perplexity, said : "Yoa can't master thaL" "Can't," Ulysses replied'. "What does that mean ?" "Why," replied the boy, "it means that that yoa can't There!" Ulysses wenj to the dictionary and tried, onsaccessfully, to find the word there. Then he went to his teacher and asked him what was the meaning of the word "can't," telling him that he had searched for in va:n in the dictionary. The teacher gave a proper explanation, and added : 'Ulysses, if in the struezles of life snv person should assert that yoa can't do a thing yoo desire to accomplish, let your answer be : The word 'can't' is not in the dictionary." .He r a The Democratic Canvass. The Philadelphia Infjulirr call atten tion to the fact that the Democrats of Pennsylvania have this year submitted their canvass to the control of the British free traders of New York. Not a move has been made from first to last that has not been dictated from that city. The Scran ton convention was under the most 1 positive and direct order) from ex-President Cleveland. Mr. Wallace was beaten by orders from New York. Mr. Pattison was nominated under like direction, and the campaign of billingsgate and false hood has its source in the British free trade newspapers the JFuriu!, Tune and EteninjJ'oK. For the first time in the history of this Commonwealth, Pennsylvania Democrats are obliged to submit to the politicians of another State. The campaign has sank to such a low depth that the sensa tional papers of New York are appealed to by the Democratic managers to supply the most disgraceful campaign material that ever was manufactured to order. The home papers either dare not plunge into the filthy waters, or else are not trusted by the leaders of the party. Even Mr. Pattison does not confide in the very paper of which he is part owner, but ex presses his views in the New York WurUt which has not stopped short of the most imStmoos methods to farther its cam paign of abase. The Democratic campaign, inaugurated and carried on in New York, has the plainest possible object in view. The great thing aimed at is the overthrow of the organization perfected by the chair man of the National Committee. His abilities as an organizer are conceded, and to insure a free trade victory in he must be unhorsed. Pennsylvania is the first battlefield. If the State can be carried for the Democracy, free trade and a Democratic President are expected to follow. The Republican party would stagger under a defeat in Pennsylvania. The free traders realise this and every free trade newspaper of New York is en gaged in the work of turning Penngyl vania over to the Deuiociacy and their slanders are sent broadcast over the State. It is a great game and is being skill fully played. But it cannot win. Penn sylvania Republicans wiil not allow Pro tection to be stabbed by the British free traders in the very houso of its friends. If they should they would richly merit the flood of free trade which would al most certainly pour down upon them. How Cen. Grant Mads Love. Here from the Ladlnf Uome Jourtuil is Mrs. Julia Dent Grant's own account of the way General Grant proposed to her. They were out driving together on a beautiful day after a storm, Mrs. Grant says: We had to cross a little bridge that spanned a ravine, and when we reached It I was surprised and a lUtla eoneerrrasj to find the gulch swollen, a most unusual thing, the water reaching to the bridge. I noticed, too, that Lieutenant Grant was very quiet, arid that and the high water bothered me. I asked several times if he thought the water dangerous to breast, and told him I would turn back rather thtn take any risk. He assured me, in hn bnef way, that it was perfectly safe, and in my heart I relied upon him. Just as we nsached the old bridge I said : "Now, if anything happens, remember I shall cling to yoa. no matter what von may say to the contrary." He simply said : "All right," and we were over the planks in less than a minute. Then his mood changed ; he became more social, and in asking me to be his wife used my threat as a theme. After dinner that afternoon, Lieuten ant Grant asked me to set the day. I wanted to be engaged, and told him it would be much nicer than getting mar ried a sentiment he did not approve of. We were very quiet at the hense that evening, and neither said a word of the secret. After sapper he went back to his regiment, and a few days later General Taylor sent him to Camp Salobrity, in Louisiana. He was too shy to ask father, so he waited nrtil he was stationed and wrote to him. Father never answered the letter.- The next year he came back on a leave of absence, and lean remember just how he looked as he rode up in his new uni form. Father was going to Washington on business, and we were all on the front porch kissing him good-by and stalling bis pockets with notes of things he was to bay. Liectenant Grant aked for my ban 1, and he, in a harry to get off, con sented. My Mdier lover was in and about Mexico for four years, including the war. Every mail brought me a letter, every or. full of sweet nothings, love and war, and now and then some pressed leaves and flowers. I read each one every day until the next one came. I have them all.

" After five years' litigation, daring which time the interest on the large sum bequeathed has accumalated, the Amer ican courts hare decided that the gor geous mausoleum on the hill overlooking Sya, in memory of an American lady whose maiden Dime was Sarah Strother, is to be built. The edifice in question will be an exact replica of the chapel of the Knights of tit. John at Rome, and the interior will be composed entirely of white Sicilian marble and mosaics. The bodies of the Strothers will lie nnder three tombs ia a crypt ; the garden sur rounding the cb arch is over four acres in extent j a spacioes bouse is to be erected for the "perpetual guardian," the English chaplain for the time being, and the whole to cost nearly f-JOO.OOO.

James Monteith. James Monteith, whose name nearly every school boy and girl in the country is ttmiliar with, bevause of its being on the cover of the geographies, died at his home on Washington Heights last Thurs day morning. He was fiO years old. Mr. Monteith was born in the north of Ire Irnd. He came to this city when a mere boy and was educated in its public schools. lie became a teacher in Dis trict School No. 13 of this city, and pass ed thoough the various grades until he heearoe principal. Many of the business and professional men of this citv now have the kindest recollections of him in that capacity, and be formed among his scholars many of the warmest friend ships of his life. From bis earliest years Mr. Monteith was a rxtort conscientious student of geo graphical works. While teaching school he associated himself with Professor Mc Nally, the then famous geographer. When Professor McXally died, Monteith gave op school fetching and worked ex clusively as a writer of geographical works. A. S. Barnes A Co., now merged into the American Book Company so far as their publishing business is concerned, have always published bis works. These have been used in nearly every city and town in the L'nion, His works comprise about everything in the geographical line. He fully covered the primary, in termediate aad advanced fields of phys ical and political geography, and prepar ed school maps to support his works. His Biblical maps are especially noted. H Also wrote "Easy Lessons in Popular Science," a "Popular Science Reader," and a "Youth's ILstcry of the United States." Mr. Monteith 's works have been very profitable to him, but a large portion of the fortune he leaves is the result of his early conviction that New York City was bound to grow. Thirty years ago, when money was scarce with him, he saved enough to purchase a great deal of land on Washington iicigtits. it cost very little then. For three years he was land poor on account of bis taxes, bnt be held on to his property, and to-day it is worth more than ?500,0)0. Mr. Monteith was married the second time about two years ago. 1 1 13 wire survives him. He has a daughter married and living in the West, and a son who is studying law.' A". '. A Novel Missionary Enterprise. The Rev. Dr. Geonre F. Pentecost, of Brooklyn, ore of the most energetic and successful revivalists of our time, has jost set forth upon a new evangelizing enter prise which is in many respect a novelty in the religious world. Dr. Pentecost's purpose is nothing Its than to convert the heathen of. India by using aiuong tbem precisely the methods which, he has been accustomed to employ in his revival work amort the people of this country and Great Britain. As he him self said last week to his old parishioners of Brooklyn : "A Brahmin asked me to go to India and settle down for five months and preach the gospel as I was doing in Edinburg. This bas never been done. The high caste Hindoo will be ready to go and hear sermons in English, for there . are five million natives ia India educated in English schools and college. I propose to go out there and preach the g"pel in English." It ia apparent, bot'i from what Dr. Pen tecost has wkl and the preparations he has trade, that it is bn purpose to carry on bis work in India in exactly the same way as tie managed his Elinburg reviv als. He bas even taken with him the two revivalist singers who, imitating the example set by Mr. San key, have been used to Fnppleineot the work of the evan gelist by the public singing of gospei hymns. The experiment is one of very great intert-sL It most certainly strike one as doubtful whether the high caste Hindoos, who are usually men of broad education and whose customs and dispo sitions differ radically from our own, will be content to listen to revival sen-tone such as have been de-vised for the regen eration of the English and American masses. Yet it tno.it' not be toohastiTy adorned that soch a result is iiuposwil,;.-. The experience of ut'SBiooarivs in Ir.J.a has been that the educated Brahmins have been most largely influenced by the simplest and plainest preaching of the gospeL They have rarely been won from the intel'ecMal side alone. The testi mony of converts in that Md show? that the emotional aide of evangelistic wort has made the strooj-tit appeal to Item. Therefore it may be that Dr. Penteeo-t. in bis crusade against Indian heathen ism, is ot making his calculation with oat sound basis. Il is much to bis credit that be baa asked pa aid from the regu lar missionary ssociattooa, bat goes oa bis own responsibility sad at h own expense. .V. 1. Com. A tren.Uer. Captured By Brigands G-i'inarti' Mauenger: Signer Arrgo baa given particulars of his detention by th Italian brigands. He declares that nothing can be more horrible or infa mous. One experiences continual anxie ty abont one's personal liberty and life, and about one's family and .'naccial con sequences, besides enduring a long agony of enforced idleness. The hnngor which le often experienced added to his suffer ings. After the first stunning shock he made np his roin I to endure everything with resignation if he only escaped with life. In the humid grotto, or well, at the bottom of which he was eon.in.sI, he was made to write letters to bis family. the first in pencil, the second with a gonee feather dipped in the juice of pur ple mulberries. The brigands dictated what they wish ed to be expressed, and kept the letters epen, showing that they themselves could not read, and meant to show what was written to some one else, to ascertain that all was correct. The- pretended odijer of carbineers, having no lonsrer any interest in concealing his identity, allowed Signor Arrigo to see his face ; but the other brigands, while taking tarns in watching him, were always veil ed. One, armed with a gun, remained constancy beside him in the lower grotto and with this man Signor Arrigo shared the little bread provided, and the obliga tory fast on days when ethers brrrcht no food. If the prisoner complained bis companion said: "There is no bread even for us ; we are surrounded by the military and can procure nothing." Even when Arrigo gave 300 fr. from the sorn he had on his person it was not possible to improve their condition, for the arrest of two of the brigan Is made daring the first few days bad deprived the others of all means of easy communi cation, not only with the towns ofCac camo and Sciara but even with the neighboring country houses. The movement of the wiiUary and, police paralyxel all their movements. When the -N-w or 127,000 fb. had been agreed upon the prisoner hoped to be set free at once. But the brigands did not receive their share, either be cause some quarrel had arisen as to the division of the profits among the ao ciateswho directed and contributes! to the whole affair, or because some of those who undertook to bring the money had subtracted sums in the interest of their families. So Arrigo 's imprisonment was prolonged. The sum distributed among the associates, calculated at about 100, 000 fr., was mostly in gold, and during those days much gold was weighed at one of the Termini banks. Signor Arrigo's pailer was always well behaved ; he called bis prisoner "Excel lence," and inspired him with such con fidence that at last he hazarded a hint at escape, telling him that his share could not be much more than 2,!XW fr., but if be would fly with hi:n he should have the means of embarking to Amerv-a and 10,000 fr. besides. The britraad said he would have willingly help him to escape, but that "Even in America they would - find and kill me!" It was, in fact, im possible for this man to rehabilitate him self, even should he fly . to the other side of the world! At last, on June 14, one of the brigands tId theCprisoneT thit he would be re leased. Signor Arrigo was faint with hunger, cramped and tired out, and when evening came he begged a brigand to help him to ascend to the upper part of the grotto, near to the opening. He was dragged up, and on issuing told to keep stooping for fear of being seen. As he knew nothing of the locality a brigand was sent with him till be reached a path when he was left alone. He felt much alarmed, for his strength was nearly ex hausted ; walking was dificult, onaccoun of cram pi in his limbs from bis long con tinned inactivity ; and his progress was impeded by bis clothes, wich hung ia rags. Night came, and he knew not which path to choose. At last he chanced upon a water-trough, and, lighting some match es he had begged from the brigands, be searched aronnd till he came to a path at the end of which he saw alight. It proved to issue from a house inhabited by a man called Scaziari, of Sciara. From, the window he was asked who he was ; he answered, a traveler WHO HAD Lost HIS WAT, and on further questioning he told his name. At once the door was opened by Scazzari, who was full of sarpri-e to see Don Filippo Arrigo in person, for the day before be had heard that he had been killed, hi head sent to Termini and his body to Messina. On hearing this Arrigo was afflicted anew, thinking of his family's anguish should they have heard the rerort. Now, safe at home, Signor Arrigo is besieged by visitors of all classes, full of curiosity and congratulation. The last news is that by the arrests m ide during the last few days the authorities have speedily aimed at the high "madia," or camor ra that is, the associates belonging to the better cla "I ain't goin' to say my praters."
