Ilia testimony rather conflicted with tbat of Susan Brown, lle sald that on Saturday afternoon he went to Brooklyn with Williams to see about his clothes. i He asked Mrs. Brown if the boy had given hor any money.

Then Williams snid, Auntie, you are I sure of that, are you not Kha aaid "V.i" He aaid, "You examined the dollar bill, and' examined me oair dollar before you took It Sha said Yes Then she told us of the mys terious, white man who had been to the house that morning.

Just now she is threatened with a third; perhaps a fourth. There is just the chance that Lord BcafonsAeld may have the misfortune to go to the country at th general election with some very seriout responsibilities indeed on hand; hut a country that holds, as the Opiniont says England does, the position which Rome held among the nations at the height of her glory and the zenith of ber power, must expect to have foreign troubles on hand. Many thoughtful and far-seeing persons-begin to think that the power of the Conservative Ministry is waning that the day is not far distant when the Liberals will come back to office; under which circumstances it would be wier for the Liberals to heal their own troubles, abate their rancor, bind up their ranks, and prepare for the time when the lueen shall onre more send for a Liberal Minister to form a Government The political clubs are talking of little else just now than Egyptian affairs and the failure of the mixed occupation scheme for Roumelia. It is pretty well understood that the Kht'dive will either step down and eat the leek, and consent to such material guars itees as will save Europe from another coup dVtat. or he will step down and out altogetlur.

In that cne he would probably be succeedfd by Kolira Pasha. It is not unlikely tbat Enjland and Turkey will arrange tbe Kouraeliarj business between them. At present there is a good deal of mystery in the quiet way in whJch Lord Beacons-field appears to be letting the affair drift." Men acquainted with Russia tell me that the failure of the scheme for the joint occupation of Eastern Roumelia will put an end to SchouvalofTs chance of succeeding Gortschakoff, and this opinion is quite general. All the signatory powers have refused to be led away from a strict observance of the treaty of Berlin, and whatever has ben ss.id or done concerning Bulgaria, the English Cabinet has sfciod firmly by its original position. M.

Waddington told a deputation of Bulgarians who came all the way from Roumelia to wait uon htm in Paris, that he could not entertain complaints directed against stipulations of the treaty of Berlin. It scms almost certain that tne difficulty will be left in the hands of the European Commissioners. who will have the powt-r to summon Turkish troops under Europen officer into Eastern Roumelia in case of insurrectionary outbreaks after the departure of the Russian troops. A traveller who has recently returned from St. Petersburg, and who had opportunities iu other parts of the Empire of estimating its internal condition, tells me that outside Russia we have no idea how seriously agitated it is with revolutionary projects.

Assassinations are so frequent that there is a continual panic among the Police and in official circles. A let-tar mentioned in one of the daily papers declares that the heads of tho Secret Police are all resienintr because they have discovered that many of their own officers and men are tainted with Nihilism. The other day the General Governor of KielT. Count Czartkoff. was shot at The woul 1-be murderer was captured on the moment.

At Moscow the students are full of angry despair at the severe punishment of their fellow-pupils, who are on the way to the wilds of Siberia. They got up a petition, and wished to present it to the Governor. He declined to receive it. There was a riot in consequence, and many new victims to the imitated times were thrown into prison. At Warsaw the authorities have even gone so far as to prepare to resist a popular outbreak.

There is a general feeling of discontent throughout the Empire. Beneath tho imperial and despotic rnlo of the Emperor, there is a volcano fed by unseen fires. One day it will burst, and exhaust itself in a futile explosion, or overwhelm the Empire. The Prtertltonrtky Lis'ok is no longer allowed to be sold in the streets yet the open and avowed organ of Nihilism in some mvsteriods fashion finds its way t.j the clubs, public offices, cafes, and into the bosom of the highest society. Its strange distribution puzzles the authorities, and defeats all Police opposition.

The only explanation is that Nihilism is more widespread and formidable than the authorities or society care to admit THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT. It would seem that the scientific world of America is destined to be ailorced with a new aad brilliant name. Ensign A. A. Michelson, a graduate of the Annapolis Naval Aesilonay, and not yet 'J7 years of ae, has distinguished himself by studies in the seience of opties whiea promise the diseoverv of a method for measuring the velocity of light with almost as much accuracy as thi velocity of an ordinary projectile.

The two methods now used for this puroose give a difference iu the rate of movement of light of about 1.000 miles per second F.nsign Michelson believes that he can, over a space of 1.500 feet, so exactly measure the rate of movement as to reduce the possible error to 'JO miles in the second. Soma time ago he made an adilress before a scientilic tmiiy on the subjeet of Lignt," which attracted much attention, and won him the warm enconrnce-ment in the pursuit of his studios of Prof. K.wmh the astronomer, and a number of other eml aent scientific gentlemen at Home and abroad, in that aJdress he mentioned the experiments be had made toward measurine the velocity of light, and so stronrW interested were his hearers, that some who had the ear of the Government Hesooght Coneress to grant an at.propriation of 820.1HK) for the purpose of enabling the young naval oflicer to continue his experiments on a larger and more elaborate sca.e than he had then been able to do. havinc to defray the expense out of his own slender pay. I nder orders from the Navy Department.

F.nsien ilichelson has erected, or ia erectins. the apparatus nec-asary to determine his theory practically, and in two or three weeks the ob.ervations will be eom-mrneed. Hot this eou'd jot have been were it not for the eenerositr of Mr. Albert ti. Heminwar.

of this City a retired banker and broker who tbrouKti a relative, became acquainUJ with youni -Michelson. Tbe money from the Government eould not he hnd, or at any rate was rot available ana Mr. Heminw.y generously placed his ample means at the disposal of the young savant, givina htm eartt blanch, his expenses in connection with the experiments. This aetion on Mr. Heminway part could only have been dictated by pure love of seiense, for It does not appear how any peeunlarv earn is to follow from ascertaining the velocity of licht.

ery manyof the leading scientific men 'of the eonntry have visited the Naval Aeademv to in-spect the apparatus which Ensien Michelson is erecting snd they are warm in their rraises of tho genius of th inventor. It appears that tbe younir man was specially distinguished as a atudect by his genius for mathematics, besides beinc an excellent general student. The Professor of Mathematics at the Academy declared that bis puoil was eapable ef writing a new calculus. Mr. Heminway la enthusi-astie In his praise of his protege, and predicts great things of hun In the future.

PRACTICAL rXTEfttaT TH BsUTISfcl MtE-sUPHAEUTES VOIU OF atCKBAf, StAXHOPg, AXD MRS. 8TILLKAS rOITRT 1 PlCTCRt. i Fwrkcc, April 10. Cities, like i. tdlridaala.

eeetn to possess specific Innate idiosyncrasies of temperament which Impel then with sn Irresistible force In certain directions ef development This Florence, while resisting, as it Were Involuntarily, every temptation fo purelr industrial and commercial enterprise, such constitute the prosperity of the more northern cities, like Geneva, Turin, and Mlla. is steadily extending itself ia the line of the fine arts and manufactories of objects ia which the aesthetic featores overpower the merely utilitarian. This is not brought about by associative action, bat by individual exertion, following the bent of the special arUstle disposition. Hence the remarkable multiplication of bric-arbrac and depositories of works of fine art ancient aad molern, including carved and Inlaid furniture, wroucht metals, majoljca, ivories, mosaics, glass, aal whatever gave fplendor and luxury to the Middle Ages, and. billancy and refinement to the and besides these, ths modern attempts to revive all these old arts and to invent new forms of beauty for the reborn taste of Christendom at largs.

All this azreeabli mixture of the ornamental side of life of the old and new civilizations of Europe, to the e-clusioh of their ruder elements and unsightlji, disturbing trade-forces or material nuisance, such is obtain in most exclusively manufacturing towns unhappily blessed with supet-abun4snt water or stream power, makes Florence jearly become more attractive as a resj-dencei for purposes of study, health, amusement: or repose for those who are heart-sici and weary of the strain and turmoil of life ia more' exciting places. Yearly, too, the irj-tellectuat resources of Florence are increasing, as wejl as the artistic advantages, so that by natural healthful growth, despite its 'financial niisfojrtunes and lack of ordinary industral en terprl-e. it is becoming more than ever one jf the chief, if not the very chief, purely centre of modern life, with uncommon economical advantages for serious family life and education, and a corresponding convenient mart for tHe purchase and sale of art objects of every age and quality. At the same time, the ranks of its: sculptors, painters, and artists generally, including musicians, are rapidly swelling, and all tending toward a new departure in art which in time may rival, and perhaps exceed, any preceding phase, notwithstanding toe over-crop of weeds which now spring up out ff tbe very fertility of the intellectual soil, that has lain fallow for two or more centuries in Italy under the blighting Influences of despotic Governments. i' Petbsps the most extraordinary and.

In some respects, most interesting of the new elements at work here in the regeneration of Italian aft is one which now comes from England, whero alone It hal taken firm and formed a special school of painting of considerable beauty and refinement and at the same tlne quite opposed in motives and style or execution to all other modern forms of art I refer the wbsidence of the once active pre Raphael-ite movement as preached by Ruskin and Illustrated by Holmaa Hunt and Mlllais in their earlier careers, into the distinctive styles pf design, tones of coloring, and selection of sui-jectsby the present distinguished chiefs, Daote Roseetti and Burne Jones. Their followingls small but Intense, and remarkable for art is do and intellectual culture and mysti eal or poetical motives, forming a romautic school ft singular purity and singleness of purpose atid novtsl compositions; in fine, an ideal pii-torlal world, utterly uniutelliirible or distasteful to those persons who are destitute of imagination, and judge nature and art only by the close standards of a positive, unselected realism. This school finds Its first aud deepest love and inspiration iu tho works of the great but narrow-in-rane Florentine painter, Sandro Botticelli, wp.o seems so equally divided in his own elections between the purest spirit of pagan art and tbe most mystical spirituality of feeling of Christian art, always rejoicing in both in delicady, loveliness, consummate chastity, and reflie-meat. and a happiness that, while above the earthly standard, seems tinctured with some its inevitable sadness and forebodings. He creates an ideal world of angels, nymphs, children, virgins, and youths, endows it with ideal laudfccape and coloring, and makes it strike on the senses of sympathetic longers for a more perfect existence like soothing or rapturous songs, inducing a calm repose and a faith In visions of better things in store for the just made peifect branch of this reinspired school, originating In Florence four centuries ago, revived tn England in this, amid the clatter of spinning-whewls.

the racket of iron-forging, and tba smoke and grime of coal-pits, has now corns to Florence to make here its more congenial home. It is represented bv three thoroughly sjneere, clever, and accomplished artists-. Fairfax Murray, Spencer Stanhope, and Mfs. W.9. Stillman, the wife of our eminent art critic aud writer, now so well known in Europe and America.

All of them seem to be deeply tinctured with the spirit of the English school pf tbe pre-Rapnaelite feelinz. The flrst-n arrted Sr. however, has an accurate knowledge pf the old masters, especially tbe Veoe-tian( and can reproduce them with a skill aad accuracy as to copying that mignt puzzle maty to distinguish his work from the originals, ao faithtuhy has he- studied them. His own fe-dilettiou for color stems divided between te intt-hse, iiimjnoua. Venetian and the lighter apd more ethereal tints of the best Florentine combined purity of color and strongly-outlined form.

The direct influence of Bume Jones is myre markedly manifest in the paler but harmonidns tones and allegorical designs of Mr. Stanhope, wbih in composition combine the weaknesses In modeline an 1 drawing that obtain in both Dante Rossetti's and Burne Jones's own work, andithrowthe spectator so completely into Jts abstract sentiment for enjoyment Mrs. Stjli-marfa compositions also are defective in these. Important points, but sueh are their welthor coloring, their rich harmonies of tints, their simple romance of composition, their following of high-bred ladies and handsome girls, plased amid scenes congenial to their super-eminent refldemeut, that we forget shortcomings like J18 ant ot "nJow. perspectire, gradations, which would be unpardonable in pictures thac etrictly challenge technical criticism -on first sight, and repose at once in a delicious t-mosfihere of pure aesthetic delight The paintings of Mrs.

Stillman are romances in color. Her color sense is so strong that it overpowers every oth artls ie feature, and the breathes, thinks, and works under its absolute dictation. For it all other points in plctare eomtKsltlon are sacrificed or made wholly subservient It is an effect of temperament, and modified only by a picturesque poetical sesti-ment which finds its native expression in heart-warm tinte and glowing combinations and contrasts. Tbesetwo forces beget a kind of trou-badurand medieval literature in color, pastoral lyrics, and whatever breathes Innocence, culture, transparent stainless emotions and character, happiness unconscious of evil and strotog in its might of virtue, rejoicing in Nature's deepest greens, etherial blues of perfect skies and unbroken sunshine, bright flowers of paradisiae hues, harmonizing with rival colors, of richest graceful costumes amid limpid fountains aud emeraldine waters, their silent mutio stealing over the senses ao Irresistibly that we feel Ponce de Leon's search for the fabled fountain of youth has at last been successful and tbe spectator has entered the heritable Garden of the Hesperidee and.W eonje one of the guileless, beautiful dwellers therein. Perpetual youth, beauty, gay romance, and serious passion undented become tangible realities to a receptive mind, able to eotnttre bend that art has a loftier mission tkaa to imitate nature, and la never ao great as when using Its Twa creative.

Her types are few, range limitexl.

and stylo unvaried, but the whole is exquisitely delicate and rich In ehoieo and method. When it Is considered that quits recently this rtijt was a reigning belle In the beet and moat cultivated London society, where the remembrance of her exceptional beauty Is still cherished as a vision as bright as rare, that she was bora to wealth, with every lodoeement to tne brilliant career of a petted woman of fashion, the decision of character which made ber renounce all to follow the profession of her ardent choice, and to persistently and laboriously study and work at It seem phenomenal iu her sex. Perhaps there Is tn her case aa outburst of the old Greek srstbeUe paasioo, for she comes of that ra.e renowned in art An early union to the artist writer, her husband, ao well able to guide and sustain her in the cholee she riade of a career, may help explain but there still remains behind all the indomitable wUl aad passion for art that dictated the career, which bids fair to be further illustrated by works of still greater attraction from her diligent brush, inspired by an honest admiration for what is purest in spirit and most delightful in. color.

KEJTSS ROMAN HOME. HOT HE LIVED HALF A CENTURY AOO the Torso POET'S TOVB.
