Count Savoiroux, a young Italian cavalry officer, a member of Count Salimbeni's expedition to Abyssinia, and still a prisoner in Bas Adula's camp, has addressed to his mother the following touching letter :— "My dear Mother,— l don't know the date — Cheer up, and I shall soon be set at liberty. You can have no idea how ple-sed I am at haviDg fulfilled my duty, and having liberated my dear friends in chains. Their health needed it, and I, knowing what a holy woman you are, have done so with the utmost pleasure, feeling sure that you would rather have me die an honest man than live dishonoured. Besides, your prayer are fulfilled. Everybody is very fond of me, and I need nothing. Now I have changed my profession. I have become a tailor and a saddler, as I cannot move on account of the heavy chains at my feet. But do not think that lam in low spirits. I am jolly and in good humor, and am glad to see that I do not lose my head, and can get out of these troubles without fear. My only regret is thinking thot you are suffering, and I aesure you that I tbink of it every night and shudder at the idea. Now I realise tbe fact that true courage lie! in suffering with resignation, Those amuse me who say that one needs courage to commit suicide. A knife in one's heart and all is over. Real courage consists in defying misfortune with resignation and courage. I tell you this, because you Bhould not think that in a moment of discouragement I have committed a folly. I think of you and God. Twenty-two days have now elapsed since my companions were set free, and although I may still have to remain here some time, I have never repented having sacrificed myself for my companions. Who knows when I shall be able to send you this letter of mine. God will find the means for its reaching your hand. A kiss to all, brothers, uncles, and friends, and you believe me your all.— Tancredi." Figaro relates the following as a true cricket story : — " At a match playnd on Jubilee day in the park of a well-known baronet in Sussex, as there was a scarcity of available talent, it was necessary to secure the services of one of the footmen of the hall as umpire. In due course the baronet, his master, went in, and the best village bowler was at once put on. The second time he bowled the ball the baronet stopped it with his leg, and the cry of " How's that?" was at once raised. It was the footman who had to answer, and, turning to his master the baronet, he exclaimed in a halfapologetic tone, " I am afraid I must say not at home Sir George." " Not at home !" retorted the baronet, "whatever do you mean, you idiot?" "Well, then. Sir George," James made answer, "if you will have it, I mean that you're hout."
