Allaci, who held that office during the pontificate of Alexander VII., was a constant visitor to tbe mimic theater as a relaxatioa from his brain work. Xor wero tho Italian marionottc confined to miscellaneous audiences. A practice grew up of engaging a company of the puppets to perform at private parties. A wealthy entertainer considered his viands, wines and music incomplete unless one of tho best troupes of burattini M engaged to make mirth for his guests. On these

occasions brilliant hits at political and

social personages and occurrences were indulged in, and so complete was the manner in which the performance was carried out that each popular character put on the stage had the words of the part spoken by a special artiste who could accurately imitate tho tones of the original. Another great point in the Italian marionettes was their exquisite ballot dancing. Every kind of dance, every nourish and pirouette In which famous living performers excelled was imitated most accurately by the pupp.ts, and their bows In ronon.o to tho

unanimous appltuwe wero as elaborate as those of the original.

The one is supposed to rest and have a good time because It is beyond the caros and exactions of life, the other because it has not yet reached thorn. Hut what of middle age, that highly respectable but plodding and generally considered prosy and uninteresting period? It Is true that during this period tho labors, caros and responsibilities of Ufo, as a rulo, weigh heaviest upon us. and yet it need not be -barren of joy and romance. t

It brings its own friends, its own peculiar pleasures, I! we will only accept them; and its trials and cares onablo us to enjoy oven more than we did tho companions and joys of youth. Indeed, If wa havo lived and developed as we should, wo discover a fullness, a satisfaction In the blessings of middle ago that we nercalvo was lacking in those of

youth. Tho springs of joy as well as tho springs of sorrow rise from a deeper source Life should bo progressive; each stage should lie a period of preparation for the next. II it is thus viewed and accepted we shall find that time, so far from rpb-

In one case, .betweon lakes Nellie and Louisa, in this county, a few days ago, an alligator supposed to Iks fatally shot bhowod fight when approached, and knocked ono of the men unconscious with its tail. Fearing to shoot then because

of possible injury to their companion, the other hunters attacked tho ferocious reptile with clubs, ono of which, four or fivo Inches in diameter, was seized in the monster's jaws and crushed to splinters. A man is usuually employed to remove tho hides and "teeth, while the bodies aro loft as food for the numerous buxaards, which aro here protected by tho law.
