urally to txnnb throwing and the guillotine, but it is hard nevertheless not to wish I hat fate had been > Tgay .ij? as kind in the lust f / extremity as In occasions gone before. His life was one liaig adventure, his head forfeited again and Somehow his lucky star had set the gendarmes tracked him to his humble lodgings after the failure of the attempt to Mow Napoleon III into eternity by devices then new, but now grown horribly familiar. Orsini was a well bom Italian youth. He saw his father in chains for political reasons while he was a child in arms, and so became a well nursed revolutionist. With difficulty his ardor was repressed by a rich uncle, who was his protector, and at 26 lie graduated from a university only to be arrested as a principal In the conspiracies of 1S44. He was sentenced to the galleys for life, but was finally umnes
tied.
The next four years were spent in plotting the overthrow of Austrian power and of the pope. In the grand uprising of 1848 he was captain of a hand of volunteers, fought in several battles, married and on tered the Homan parliament. Alsmt that time the young patriot fell in with Muz Einl, the Chief of Young Italy, and was se looted by him for various dangerous missions. While thus engaged he was captured by brigands and turned over to Austria. He escaped in disguise and rejoined the patriots in Home shortly liefore It fell Into the hands of the French. From that time the France of Napoleon III wna coupled with Austria in his undying hatred. In 1863 Orsini was again sent on a mission to bead an uprising in Ijombardy and was betrayed into the hands of the gendarmes. The end was banishment, and lie reavhetl London only to learn of the loss of his wife and that his rich uncle had abandoned him. While in London he dined with Uaribaldi, Mazzlnl, Is-dru Kollln. Kossuth and other revolutionists and was finally sent to Italy to head an uprising. He escaped capture by feigning death in the mountains and after perilous wanderings reached Genoa. From Genoa Orsini went to Switzerland under Mozzini’s orders to gather arms and recruits for a foray Into Italy. The military part of .he enterprise was intrusted to him, and he was seized by Swiss police upon suspicion. On the way to prison a Swiss girl aided his escape by chatting with the gendarmes and keeping their backs turned to Orsini. Switzerland was at that time a rendezvous for political conspirators, and Orsini formed at Zurich a lasting friendship with Kmnm Herwegh, a woman of romantic sympathies, who thereafter played no small part In the fortunes of this restless Italian. She became the medium of his communication with the friends of Italian independence outside the distracted realm. In 1864 he passed through Italy in disguise and ventured into Austria, counseled by Kossuth and Mazzini that the Italian soldiers in the Austrian army might be instigated to revolt and thereby strengthen the hands of the revolutionists. Passing through Vienna, he entered Hungary, where he was arrested and returned to Vienna. In chains he traveled from place to place and was finally lodged in a dungeon in the castle of St. Georglo, Mantua, the strongest fortress in Italy. The story of ids existence there and his wonderful escape was told by him on his arrival in London in June, 1866. The following is the narrative substantially as it appeared in the London papers: On the 25tli of March, 1S55,1 was sent to Mantua, doomed to die on the scaffold. On reaching Mantua we stopped in the large courtyard of the castle of St. Georglo. On each of the four sides is a tower, and the castle Is surrounded by a ditch seven or eight yards wide and six deep. When political trials are going on, the prisoners most jealously guarded by Austria are sent to St. Georglo, and after the revolution of 1848 an order was sent from Vienna that the fortress should be uaed exclusively for poli*ical prisoners. The secret cells are in Hie upper story and have at the windows two rows of thick iron bars, about a yard apart (which will give an idea of the thickness of the wallsi and outside the outer row is a thick grating of iron wire. Ti e worst cells are Nos. 3 anil 4. From the smaller of the two, No. 4, I escaped. The cells 2, 3 and 4 ms'D Into a corridor guarded by eight soldiers, changed every 24 hours. One sentinel stands at the doorof the corridor, and the others watch the doors of the cells. At night there is a special sentinel for cells2, 3 and 4. The keepers sleep in a room opening on the corridi.r, and in (lie daytime three of them guard and serve the prisoners. One keeper enten the cells with food slid on daily and nightly visits while another guards the door w ith a chain. Over these is the capo eustode, who sleeps in the castle and commands the guard. In the nighttime he keeps all the keys, slid the keeper. In order to visit the cells, must apply to him for them. The day visitsare made every two hours, the night visits at 9:31) and l:3n.

From these details you can see the impossibility of escaping, even with the help of one guard. At least three would have to lie In the secret, and even then false keys would be necessary, as the keys are all kept by the c-.po eustode, and once out one would Mud himself In ihe midst of Mantua, as the only exit from the castle leads into the city.

(.Copyright, 1894. by American Press Association. Book lights reserved.] Re-INI came nnt-
troume to examine me oars ot my windows. 1 had obtained six little saws of the very finest steel, but how the Austrians will never know. The saws were procured through the agency of his old friend, Kmma Herwegh, but just how ‘hey pkssed the Argus eyes of prison sentinels and keepers Is the secret Orsini carried to his grave. With them he rcixivcd a quantity of opium, and being on friendly terms with guards and keepers be iimtiugcd to slip some of it into the food and drink of bis jailers. The chief jailer pot a dose with the rest, and all wen- put into a state bordering on helpless intoxication. However,Orsini didn't get the keys, and the jailers soon recovered under antidotes of coffee and bnindy. The chief jailer was removed on the charge of gross drunkenness, and Orsini’s privileges were brought to an end. Furthermore, the governorof the castle ordered his cell changed, and he was put into the worst in the prison. About the end of January I was put Into roll No. 4, the worst in the castle, and I almost despaired of ever being able to escape from it. The window was mure than two yards from tile floor of the cell, and to work I was obliged to stand on the back of my chair. The bars were extremely thick, especially the inside ones, and the height from the window to the level of the ditch was 3(1 yards. 1 could not work at night because the noise of the saws, though very slight, would have been heard by the sentinel, who came every five minutes to the door. I worked, therefore, in the daytime, ami my ear had become so accustomed to thestepof the sentinel that before he opened the door I always contrived to get down and put my chair In place, and sometimes I would lie pacing hack and forth and hnmmlng. I covered over the murks of my work with brick powder mixed with black w ax and bread. By thus working in the intervals of the visits, in 24 days I had cut away seven of the inside liars and one outside one, and from the wall I had extracted eight bricks, which 1 hid in the straw of my mattress. On the 1st of February I kept back the sheets I ought to have sent to the wash, ami on March 1 I kept hack Min- tow els, which were longer than the sheets, and by cutting these into strips 1 was able on the 27th of March to make my cord, fastening it with sailor's knots. The 28th and 29th of March I passed in great fear of discovery, being more than usually persecuted by tlic attention of my sentinels, so that I could not attempt to cscaiie. I therefore pretended to be ill and did not rise from my lied for feethey would examine tny straw mattress. At half past 9 o'clock in the evening of the 2Ulhat the usual visit of the capo eustode I pretended to be asleep, but the moment they were gone I rapidly removed the bars 1 had cut, fastened the cord lo one of the remaining bars, hid the bars I bail removed in the straw and then lay still until the visit at half past 1 o'clock. I again pretended to be asleep, and the instant they were gone I arose and proceeded to let myself down with the cord. When w ithin .ilamt six yards of tho ground, I could no longer sustain myself. I looked at the depth below me and let myself drop. A sort of a swon came over me, and I lay for some moments quiet to recover myself. I then wandered round thecastle, seeking some means to get out of the ditch, hut I had so hurt myself in the fall that I could scarcely walk. 1 hoped to e-cape from the ditch into the lake which connected with it, but the entrance to Uie lake was barred by a grating. 1 then

“Simplest and Best.” THE FRANKLIN
THE DEMAND IN GRAPES.
Th« Popular (irapo of the Future Will Have Few Seeds and No Acidity. It is growing more and more the fashion—and a K°od fashion it is—not to swallow tb" seeds of (frupes. Appendicitis is more and more feared as a result of swallowing grape seeds. The seeds lodge iu the vermiforntappendix, and the almost incurable disease follows. Rural New Yorker says. That appendicitis is more common nowadays than in times jiast may lie owing to the fact that more grajies are eaten, as production is greater and the price reduced accordingly. Be this as it may, as people learn to expectorate the seeds they will demand grapes that are not acid abont the seeds. The Concord, for example, when swallowed without breaking the flesh or pulp, is to most persons an agreeable grape. But when the pulp is broken so that the seeds may be separated it is not so pleasant by a long shot. In fact, most persons, we fancy, would prefer to go without Concords rather than to eat them and reject the seeds. * It is the same xvith many other popular varieties, the favorite Delaware and Catawba among them. The seeds of what are called foreign grapes are not readily separated from the close grained, meaty flbsh—neither is the skin easily separated from the flesh. We eat tb'-m, therefore, skins and all, grinding up the seeds more or less as may be. But we may not eat native grapes in this way. The skins are always rejected, and people, as we have said, are being educated up to rejecting the seeds. The popular, hardy grape of the future must lie, therefore, one without a decided acidity of the flesh next to or about the seeds, which are generally larger than those of Vinifera.

down Tim slender cable ninety feet. endeavored, with the help of two nails, to scale the walls of Ihe ditch, about IS feet high, anr) had almost readied the top when (he foot J had hurt failed me, and I fell hack to the bottom. Fortunately the soft mud in the ditch prevented the sentinels hearing the noise. I remained there In dread of being retaken till 5 o'clock in the morning, when the city gates were opened, and then some iieople went by. 1 called to them, saying that the night before I had fallen into theditch when intoxicated, and begged them to help me out. Some refused, lint at last some bolder ones dragged me out with difficulty, as 1 could scarcely helpmyself. My hands were cut in many places. I was very lame and covered with ‘he mud of the ditcli above the waist. In that condition 1 had to cross the bridge within gunshot of the castle. AA'Iiat happened after 1 must not tell. Orsini's deliverer* hid him among the reeds of a morass in the lake and at night placed him in a gig covered with straw. Thus secreted he passed the sentinels and patrols on the road and left Mantua. The IHsiple about him were patriots, the foes of Austria, and he was soon taken in relays of carriages out of Austrian territory. Many of the patriots of Lombardy exposed themselves to arrest, claim ing to be the real Orsini. “Their words that I should one day be useful to my country remain impressed tqsin my mind to this day," wrote he afterward, “and to prove my gratitude to the noble youths of Lombardy and to show that they were not wrong when tliey uttered them 1 have sworn to consecrate my life to Italy. That resolution it was which brought Orsini’s head to the block. He returned to England, mingled with conspirators and revolutionists, and in 1858, just two years from the time he was sawing the liars of his Austrian dungeon, he was placing In the hands of his fellow patriots in I’aris bombs which they thought were to tie used in Italy. One evening, while the emperor was on the way to the opera, a bomb was thrown at his carriage which missed the mark and exploded among the crowd with murderous effect. Orsini was present, but he went calmly to his lodgings, where he was unwittingly betrayed by his servant, who evidently suspected the conspiracy, and learning that it hud failed and arrests had lieen made mn to the guardhouse and cried out, ‘'Where is my master?” Being arrested and questioned, he confessed his suspicions and Orsini's address. At his trial Orsini said that the fall of Rome had convinced him that Napoleon would not assist Italy, and he said to himself, “That man must be killed.” Again: “Na|/oleon Is all powerful In Europe. If he falls, Italy will arise of itself.” His testimony was mainly directed to the exculpation of his fellow prisoners. “I am sorry that so many people wore wounded,” he said, ‘'and If my blood could reimlr the misfortune I am quite ready to git'e it for the people. Here it is." George L. Khmer
The Geranium. The geranium grows with all sorts of treatment, will thrive in any kind of soil and stand dry air. drought and dust. It blooms profusely through a large part of the season, and the flowers are of great beauty. But fevv if any plants show a greater variety of leaves and shades of color. It is but seldon troubled with insects. The scalebug and aphis Avill never touch it. The best soil for geraniums is rich loam, with one-quarter part sharp sand mixed with it. An inch of bits of charcoal in the bottom of the pots will allow the surplus water to run off freely, and no matter how much water you apply it .will not lie retained by the soil sufficiently to injure the plant. Never water a geranium until the soils looks dry on the surface. Then give enough to thoroughly saturate the soil. If you want your geraniums to give a great amount of bloom, do not give them too large pots. In large pots they will make a rank, luxuriant growth, but there will be more leaves than flowers.

CHAUTAUQUA GOOSEBERRY.
God I'lly the Four. God pity tile poor who are wearily sitting By desolate hearthstones, cold, cheerless and bare. From which the last ember’s pale flicker has faded. Like hope dying out In the midst of despair; Who look on the wide world and sec it a desert AVhere ripple no waters, no green branches wave; Who see in a future as dark as the present No rest but tiie deathbed, no home but the grave.
Gody pity the poor, for the wealthy are often As hard ns the winter and cold as its snow. While fortune makes sunshine and summer around them. They care not for others nor think of their woe. Or if from their plenty a trifle he given, So doubling!). grudgingly often 'tis doled That to the receiver their "charity" scemeth More painful than hunger, mure bitter than cold.
orous and productive. Tlie fruit is large, smooth, pale yellow, very good and sweet. Like others of its class, it sometimes mildews, but to those who take the trouble to spray we can recommend the Chautauqua as one of the best varieties yet tested on our grounds.” Mr. Roesch, who introduced this variety, advises in American Gardening the planting of the Chautauqua in the partial shade afforded by young orchards. This advice is safe to follow in planting all gooseberries. The north side of a building or a garden wall is also a good spot to plant this fruit.
In the Flower Garden. The single and cactus dahlias make excellent plants of many colors. The Japanese hop vine is a right rampant grower and excellent where a large space is to be covered of nuked fences and the like.
The dwarf blue lobelias make an excellent border of the deepest blue. The tall nasturtiums will be wanted for hanging baskets, window boxes and the like.
Verbenas, too well known to need more than mention, are better raised from cuttings. The new rose colored calla recently sent from Natal to Europe seems to forget itself in the northern hemisphere and bear white instead of rose colored blossoms.
The passion flower may be raised from t he seed. The singular shaped flowers are highly attractive.
God pity tlie poor, for though all melt are brothers. Though all say. “Our Father," not mine, when tliey pray. The proud ones of earth turn aside from the lowly As if they were fashioned of different clay, Tliey see not in those who in meekness and patience Toil—poverty, pain, without murmur endure— The image of him whose first couch was a manger, Who ( hose for our sakes to be homeless and poor.
