A Ducal Schoolmaster.
A fow months ago tho report ran the
rounds ot tho press that the wealthy
Dutchess of Gallivra had bestowed two
splendid estates npon the Pope for nse
during his lifetime. The stony of tho
onorn ou t increase of this old lady's
riches is not generally known, and it is
certainly a curious ono. Tho late Duke
possessed a fortune of 300,000.000 francs,
and an only son. During liis father's
lifetime tho heir deolsreiF bis inteution
of renouncing tho world. Instead of
following the examples of tho Kings and
nobles of earlier ages when they were
seized with this passion and retiring into
a cloister, tho young man, at the age of
twenty, crossed into the territory of
Nice, and applied for a situation as a
village schoolmaster. His father re
garded it as a mere freak, and sent his
son every year a sum of 300,000 francs;
The young man accepted it, bat refused
to spend it upon himsolf, sending the
wholo to Pans, with a request that
it should be expended anonymously upon
the poor of the Fronoh capital, while he
himself existed entirely upon tho inoome
which he earned as a schoolmaster. The
secret of the aristroctratio origin end
brilliant prospects of the village pede-
^ e could not be kept, and after he
been at work for three years tha
French Minister of Education sent him
a nomination as “Officer de l’Academie.”
Meanwhile the father died, Und the ec
centric schoolmaster had become the
Duke of Gallivra, and the rightful pos
sessor’of enormous riches. He. de
termined, however, to adhere to his vow
of renunciation. He wrote a polite letter
to the French minister, deolining the
h onor which had been offered him, saying
that his three years’ service was too mean
to be compensated with suoh a dignity.
The young Duke is still contented tenon
ing tho children of the peasants in his
Nice ;village, and never interferes with
his mother, regarding himself dead to
world in which he once lived.—London
