In the morning, a glass of brandy and a strong cigar re newed his strength'and. caused the cap of his youth to run over with the pre cious wine of health and high spirits. He loved magnificent uniforms, mag nificent horses, magnificent riders, and magnificent women. Gifted and graceful in conversation, lie was a pet in the boudoir and a logi cian in the the basraeks. He had studied Freicb in Paris, Italian in Rome, and Spanish* in the Halls of the Monteznmas. The sabre exercise lie learned from a Turk. His horseman ship was of the English kind,, that ,is to say, not graceful, but impossible to be surpassed for firm riding and endu rance.
