Along with the piko era in warfare have Is-cn gathen-d the other cheerful impleuieiits of death that accompanied them. There are many of those antique crosstiows which must have been terrible weapons in the iiands of rneditcval archer*. The bow is a Imnd of steel, and it i*so jsiwerful that.each i* fitted with a'Tank and ratchet, to draw it. The bolt is a it inch rod of oak shod heavily at one end with pointed iron, and must have traveled with the rapidity and penetrating power of a bullet. There are cheerful little slungshot*, called “morning glories," which were better called “evening splendors" or "star producers,” They consist of a short shaft “f iron, a short eliain, and a bail of iron at the end of it, from which sharp spikes, like pointed nails, stick out in all direction*. They are as much worse than a modern slung-shot a* death from a bludgeon j* less pleasant than the mortuary memory of a surgeon’* lance. There are battle axes of all varietie*, some very crude, but all very keen. There nre equine headpieces of metal which suggest masks at an Arion ball, for horses, in Scotch, English, French, and Ger man styles, all accotnjtanying the full sets of knightly armor which they once preceded in joust and tourney. There are shields on whieh the Moslem fauces often rang. There are shills of woven steel, almost, as pliable as worsted, whose metallic coolness must tie tempting in hot weather, and whose deli cacy of execution is so wonderful that oven considering the primitive era of their manu faeture, it would lie dilltcnlt, if indeed it wei-e jsmsible, to duplicate them t(j-day. In fact, all the panoply of the knight* of the days, of chivalry, all the varied details of the lover and fighter and the idyl of Ivan hi*-, nre represented in Hie weapons Hint everywhere cover the walla, and tlie visitor is obliged, a* he thinks of the stories they could tell, to borrow a silver hit from Pixar conquest of Peru to kis-p lit* vaulting fancy in u proper curb.

There is the elegantly chased, richly adorned sporting rifles tisedby I/mis XIV. inlaid with gold wherever an excuse or a place could lie found for it* use. There is the long silver rifle of the rich Afghan, the boll-mouthed blunderbuss of Oitlislow'Hath and Ulautic Duval, and all those queer, abort-handled and richly carvisi guns and pint*ile which distinguished the Turks and soldiers, bravos, or assassins of the lievant.

Beside the tower-room there is one bed room in the attic, and another can be finished, if desired, still leaving plenty of room for storage. There is good disposition of the chimneys, providing fireplace* in all of the rooms of the first story. The arched alcove in the dining-room is a pretty feature, I Plenty of closet* throughout the house. In the second story the closets are elevated a littie above the floor in order not to interfere with proper head room for staircase. This design is a favorite with Improvement Companies, which must be accepted as an evidence of merit, as expert builders must approve its practicality, and a sagacious board of directors approve it as an investment. Many of them are worthy of jiarticular de w-riptioii. As an exemplification of the evolution of weapon-making, they are very interesting. There are carved cannon from the junks of Chinese pirate*, and brass piece* on wheels which were nnm used in sober earliest to hurt men with, but would be useless nowadays, save to the small but in trepid patriot of America on duly 4. In this room are old money coffers, each of which, in tlie rugged and antique thickness, locks up a very nit erecting history of the pedple of the centuries t hat are dead. The guns are a fascination. They are left only because tlie swords make a claim which can not be gainsaid. Upstair* in a room where (Charles I!, and his Queen looks out from corpneted frames that surround antique court canvasses where the gold eagles glisten that topped the standard* of France in many a bloody fray, is the sword of an executioner of the Inquisition, it l* a grim and ugly blade, rough on the faces but keen at tin- edges. It is black, heavy, and 7 feet in height. How many spinal vertebrae it has parted only its wielders could have told, if they dared to count, but it bears its own evidences that two hands upheld it over many a bloody block. Across from it, clasped in the curling steel fingers is a suit of armor, is a long, delicate Toledo blade, shining, slender, and perfectly elastic, that is the envy of every observer who ever held a foil. From them* two extreme* the list, runs through Turkish yataghans, t'ircassion eim etera, Mnlny creese*. .Brits, and stilettos that once formed so important a part in Eastern diplomacy and all the blades that to the Orient are known. Many of them have solid gold sheath* and gold handle*, profusely inlaid with oncat diamonds rti hies, sapphire*, anil precious stones of lesser degree. Intrinsically they must represent a notable money value, as many of the jewels are large, liow *uch a number of them could have tieen gathered in one man's hand i* a constantly arising question, which is answered only by the number of years their owner has spent in collecting aial the money he lias chosen to invest. Outside of t hese classes of weapon* arc a variety of miscellaneousolijm-t* kindrod in their uses. There an- helmet* of many pat terns front all Eurofs an countries, fj-ont a solid silver copy of that of Henry IV., now in l*ari*, down to a thin, classic, symmetric al head [vice of corroded copper, that went to war on t.lie head of some Greek soldier a thousand years before tlie Wise Men saw the star in the East. There are bow* and arrows and quiver* from many Aboriginal trilx's. Ihi re arc jade hatchet* from eanni littl festival* in New Caledonia, and the mount si liiimim tlilglitsuici arid tlie strings of liuiniin teeth artistically wound around their shaft* show the part irular use to whieh the jade hatchet* were put. There is another side to the collection, however, and it.s Iteanty and art value afford something of relief from the gritnness of stis-l. Tlie great-great-grandmother of till crazy quilts, that of Osman 1., with ills portrait and those of a particularly Grand Vizier and Grand Marshal woven in to it, adorn* one of the I**l* in the front sleeping room upstairs, and shows what an Oriental monarch slept under in the eighth century. Its value doubtle** lay in the faet that a nightmare was always within arm's leiigth. There arc some other miscellaneous curios of this kind, but they are unimport ant when compared with the snuff Isixes aiid medallion*. The snuff boxes are of all shapes, materials, and era*. One of them was taken from the imperial palace at the sin king of Pekin; another represent* an alleged weakness of the Empress Eugenie, and is flanked by the daintily chiseled keys with which Marie Antoinette locked up her love If'.ers. Many of the boxes are heavily jeweled, and interspersed among them are many specimens of diamond jewelry of the rarest and quaintest designs. There is the coronet of a Duchess, with small medallions of Mary Stuart and two other noble dames set in a delicate frame work of many dia monds, sprays, antique jeweled watches, necklaces of pearls, of tiger - * claw, and gold, and all the niiuutia* in mineral* that all ages, barbaric and civilized, have recog nized as precious. There are more than a hundred medal lions, miniature paintings by Isale-y, Cross way, and a boat of Other artist*, alt beaufi ful specimen* of art. There are cases of medals which contain the medal given by Congress to Andrew Jackson after the bat tle of New Orleans; the Victoria medal, with Inkerman, Bulaklava, Alma and Be liastopol engraved above the name of him w-ho won it, anil all the obtainable tributes in metal with which the various sovei-eigns of various period* have rewarded gallantry upon the field of battle. There are long ivory horns, richly carved. There are land scapes and marines, three feet, by two, cut front ivorv. There are carvings in gold, silver, and wood. aVnd when all this glit tering array in glass ease* is viewed in a Ixmis Seize room, adorned with a set of gilt furniture front the palace at Fontainebleau, upholstered with tajs-slries representing tier man fairy stories; when the lifted eye rest* on a portrait of the Pompadour by Greuze, a figure piece of Munier, or another of Ruliens, the confused andconfusing rich ness of the Moronini drawing-room can be imagined ami thesix dogs and three police men that guard the mansion w ill bo under stood, Mr. Morosini, outside of his bric-a-brac, ha* a number of interesting mememtoes of Garibaldi, with whom he sailed before mast in I*">U-4. afterward accompanying him as far a* Italy.

He belonged to no church—he worshiped wid no congre gation, an’ dey wondered dat he died con tent. “No. disole man had no religun, accordin' to tie way Christians put. it. but I knowed him long an’ well In de fust p!a<-e. he was honest.

He respected delaw;he upheld all dat was moral and virehuus; he was without envy. “An as de April sun sunk low in de heav ens dis ole man’s time had come.
