Rome. the mother of empires, has just been the focus of attraction. Mauv I times in the course of her history, em bracing nearly 2,650 years, royal repub- | licnn and imperial Rome has harbored 'within her walls kings and embassies ' from all parts of tJn’ eastern hernia- : phero. However distant the. land that had resounded with the footsteps of het I legions or heard the rushing of its etv ! gles’ wings to Rome it would send its tributes, hostages, legations and lords to do homage to the Eternal City which ' once held the whole wortd in secular sub j m*'ion, and io this day luus not yet yielded up an iota of her alleged spirit ' mil sovereignty over the nations of, the] earth. Adulterous and blood-stained were many, if not most of her nuptials i by which she wedded to herself in fore'- | able union the people for which the if i resistible charmer after the manner of. Deianoira, but with forethought, reserved her Nessus-garment. This tame it was the silver wedding of the ruler of imodern Italy that ajs- j M inbled scores of foreign royalties lit ■modern Rouie. The Sun has . ailed at teut.iou Io the historical j'eurimseepees which these visits of Europe’s princes ; Te.-all. especially that of the German Kaiser, King Humbert 1. L’mberto in Italian, and. by bis full name, Rainer Karl Emanuel .loliann Maria I'erdinuud Eugene, born <»u the 14tih of ALUrch IS-11, in Turin. succeeded his lather. Victor Emanuel. on the 9th of January, IS7B. His mother was Mary Adelaide, an Austrian archdm boss. At his bi*t.li it he kingdom of I'nited Italy did not yet exist and Ills father was simply a crown prince of Savoy. \\ heu Humbert isyicfhed Ibis' twenty year the union of Italy was accomplished, pair- j tmlly .as a result ot the Franeo-Germiun war. As Victor Emanuel’s successor, Humbert 1 now rules over a country of 110,700 square iniles and over thirty millions of subjects. His army; whose lielace Strength is 276.000. in case oil war may h' increased to 2.850.000 men. The tleet numbers 360 vessels .among which the Italia liutl Hepatite are consul cred the strongest, armored shins at present existing, and which to man Italv j enn furnish 70.00“ marines. Ou the 22d of April, 18(18, the king marri.xl his enu -fin. Margherita, the daughter of the late Duke Ferdinand of Genoa mid the I'rim-ess Elizabeth of Saxony. His son. Victor Emanuel, the crown prince. I oho bears the rille of Prinee of Naples, was burn on the 11th of November. 186.1. Huth king and queen, the latter born on the 20th of November. IS.il, are ol German descent on their mothers and g; and niot'.lier's side. Humbert is a sin cere friend to the German emperor whom - he visited in 1889 with the crown prinee, , and whose steadfast ally ho remains. At the present occasion t.he conjugal Te'ations of the royal couple were of course, also the subject of court and newspaper gossip. I hey are not of the . best, as it'would appear from the gen eral i‘e|s>rt. As “the son of his father j the Ita.ians love and pardon their king. ■ Victor Emanuel, by his frequent amor I Oils escapades set his successor a. bad example. Queen Margherita is not only <1 handsome, but highly educated woman become utterly worn out. Fortunately.: she has resolutely resisted tempatioiis and a virtuous and forgiving eonsori.. i 'die king, however, is said to be lack ing both in faith and respect. Gm- of bis mislrossec. a dutehoss. he imide a Indy of the Queen’s court, and only the latter’s threat that she would sue for divorce banished the former from Romo. It is rumored that the queen repeatedly, for whole days and weeks, kept, away from the court and nil reunions on ae eouuit of the king's armours. Humbert is. nevertheless, very popular with the Trasses ;I S a brave solqier, bcause ot his affability and especially by reason oi liis charity, of which be gave such h . noble example during the cholera epidem ic at Naples in 1886. during the earth quakes nt. Gasamiceioli and Rome aim •on the occasion of other calamities. But Queen Margherita is adored by the whole p.eople, without distinction of rank or party. This reminds one of another imperial couple whose domestic relations, for similar reasons, have always been, tar from pleasant. Eutely Emperor I ran ds Joseph, of Austria-Hungary, went to Switzerland to persuade his spouse to imturn to Vienna with him. but his mis sion was unsuecesst ul. She refused to accompany him. She will continue her restless travelling up and down Europe probably for the rest of her life, and it is doubtful whether she will ever agn>in set. foot in Vienna, except to pay tin occasional hurried visit to the vault wherein rests the remains of her suicide s >n. The Empress suffers terribly from insomnia. During her stay in Switzer land she walked n.t least twenty miles ju the hope of tiring herself into sleep lint in vain. She obtains upon an aver- e. onlv three hours of broken sleep nightly.‘and it is feared that she will to use opiate, and if she continues firm in this wise and courageous course phy sicians are not without hope that in a few months she will be restored 1 to ln'a lt!h. The Seeolo, of Milan. Italy, recently gave interesting details concerning the sickness of the Austrian Empress. Be sides her insomnia and unceasing rest lessness that, causes her to roam over half the globe, a correspondent of this paper mentions her unconquerable liking f. r shopping. Wherever she stops on her travels she will visit all the princi pal stores and purchase all sorts of bric a-brac, antiquities, laces, toilet, articles, lectures, statues, dress goods, furniture. 1 <-oks and whatever attracts her fancy. She hardly ever leaves her hotel except to go shopping. If sb.e would take along all her pur elm ses, she would require separate trains and this is the system applied to regu late to some extent her eccentric ex travagance. All goods she buys are nt onee shipped either to Vienna or to her beautiful villa, "Achilleion, ’ on the Island of Corfu. Not for a moment is she left alone: one lady of her court. ]ier intimate friend and guardian, al ways accompanies her on her pedes trian tours: nor is she ever seen with out her tutor, Professor Barker, who teache* hen' modern Greek sud is her gntitest favorite. He is her losepern ble comiianlon on her mountain trip* ami promenade*. A hatxlsonie. beardlea* n.ml eh-gunt young lutu, he look* more like an actor than a pedagogue. To explain this atrange relation it i» said that he i» not only a scholar and expert linguixt, bun also a very skilful upecial ist for mirvoua disensea. He is a native of Athens. This is given a# the reason for his being attached to her HliitO, so that "he may be under hh uninterrupted aurveilln nee and treat meat. N> other person is known to have more personal influence over the erratic Empress than this young physician, whom she willing ly obeys. As to the nbove-mentiom'd sudden visit of Francis Joseph to Switzerland it is rumored that it became necessary liecnuse the Empress wanted to commit suicide by throwing herself from a rock in the Alps, since she bidieved her hus band to have died. When she saw him she Is'cnme visibly calmer, begged! him not to leave her again, but refused to follow him to the capital. The Em peror tried to persuade his wife to go toj Corfu, where he promised to visit her: mid stay with her for a month. 'I he Empress declined to return to Achil-j leion on the plea tluit Athauas, the, famous Macedonian brigand, had re-1 solved to invade her castle with hi«; band in order to kidnap her and to hold her for an immense ransom. As a rule Elizabeth is reported to be eom parntively quiet ami communicative dur ing daytime, but. with the approach of night her nervous malady overcomes her. Then the unfortunate Empress will fireak forth in heartrendering lamenta tions over the loss of her beloved son, Crown I’rinee Rudolf, and in memory, of tiho 'terrible tragedy of Miwermg. Several persons idwnvs surround the disconsolate mother in these hours of grief to prevent her from laying hands on herself and to buni.sh her thoughts of death and dire reminiscence*. How different mro the sentiments n wakened in remembrance of another royal traveller recently n visitor to Flor ence. the City of Flowers! An Empress and Queen, .'die, t<s», has experienced the truth that thrones and palaces are not exempted from human sorrows and sighs: but how calm iund sweet appears her life’s course at the side of the un happy Elizabeth, of Austria, whose wail ing for the loss of her offspring recalls to the mind of a German poet the fate of Niobe, Hie dtyighter of Tantalus. Miss Jcaunle Wiustdfi, in her recent letter publishisl in The Sun. discloses part., of the peaceful and smiling vistas that) surrounded Victoria. England’s Queen, and Empress of India, in the \ illii Pal mieri. tin- chosen Florentine nb<sle of the British Sovereign. The Florence Gazette, in a. recant issue, gave the history and description of this attrac tive residence and its environs. Its first, name was happy enough. Schi fanoja, or ’'biinish care. ’ Formerly in the possession of the Fini and then of the Toloiuei family, it passed in 1454 in into the hands of the Palmieri, from whom it received its present, designation. Now it. is owned by the Dowager Count ess of Crawford and Balcarres, who lent it to the Queen. But a short mile from Florenoe. on the lower slope of the Fiesolean Hills, built on terraced grounds, with its statutes and vases, park, archways and stately steps, from which there is a lovely glimpse over the beautiful town, it merits the name of ■'Signorille." When the weather was flue the Queen breakfasted on a magnificent marble balcony, looking down on the fair City of Flowers from under the drooping branches of the weeping wil lows. In the charming grounds, backed by the stis'p hillside, which is planted with trees of every clime, stands an ancient chapel, a sextagon surmounted by n dome, while in the castle itself there is u private sanctuary for Protes tant service. The noble courtyard, with its fountain and the loggia leading on to the terraces, was built by Palmeiro Palmieri in the latter half of the sev enthteeinth century. The library, once the armory, opens on the court-yard to the right, and opposite is the theatre room, with a highly ornniuentad balcony for the orchestra. It was Tiere, no doubt, that the Earl of Cowper gave that festa. mentioned in many memoirs of that time. when Handel’s “Alexander's Feast” was performed. “The music was followed by a ball, which was more to the taste of the Florentine ladies.” re marks one of the guests in his journal. A marble bust of her Majesty, given to T.ady Cratvford as a memento of the Queen's late visit, stands in this room, which is used by the gentlemen in wait ing. Ou the first floor, at the southwest corner, is the sitting-room occupied by the Queen. A poetical legend derives the name of Palmieri from a favorite young cup bearer of Emperor Otho 1. It runs thus: When Hie Emperor had defeated Ber enger IV, Pope Agabetus H sent him a palm branch with a long message of congratulation. Otho gave the branch to his young favorite to carry before him so that all the world should see how the Pope had honored him. The youth came to be called “il palmiere” (the palm bearer) and adopted the appelation as his name. Afterwards the Emperor gave him a castle and his grandson, being handsome and of noble mein, won the heart of the only daughter of a rich noble, one Patino the Lord of Rasoio. Thus the Palmieri became, according to the old legend, very powerful and pos sessed of much wealth. In the last century Villa Palmieri was ‘the scene of splendid entertainments given by the Earl of Cowper. The King of Sweden, during his sojourn at Flor ence as Count Haga, was a frequent guest, so was the Grand Duke of Tus- ) cany, am admirer of the young and pret- | ty Eady Cowper, who was rival for the ) palm of beauty with the Countess of Albany. Though eccentric. Lord Cowper was a patron of men of letters, and had tin especial admiration for Machiavelli, to whose monument in Santa Croce he gave large sums. He also contributed toward the publishing of a complete edition of his works. Horace Walpole sneers at the English Earl's title of Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, which in 1778 ho received from Emper or Joseph of Austria. Walpole speaks of him as "an Englishman who has never seen his earldom, who takes root and boars fruit in Florence, is proud of a pinchbeck principality in a third country, and as great a curiosity as any in the Tuscan collection.” Villa Palmieri lias always been iden tified with the abode of the ftiree youths and seven maidens in Boccaccio's De cameron. Baldelli in his “Life of Boc caccio” tells us tha.t_.he owned a small villa near Majano. 'and adds: “From the poetical picture he gives of the first halting place of the gay company we recognize Poggio Gherardo: by the de scription of the sumptuous palace which they afterwards selected in order not to lie ‘ annoyed by tiresome visitors, the ! beautiful Villa Palmieri.’’ After describ ) ing in the introduction to the Decameron ' the first “palace of the hill,” two short miles from Florence and a certain dis ! tance from any road, Boccaccio says I that: “The Queen, accompanied and follow | cd by her ladies and the three youths, I to the song of perhaps twenty nightin ! gales mid other birds, slowly walked to ward the west by an unfrequented lane 1 full of green herbs and flowers, which were all beginning to open with the ris ing sun. She had led them to a most beautiful and magnificent palace sit uated on a small hill somewhat above the plain. Into this they entered and ; went all over it. and seeing the large halls, the cleanly and well-decorated bedrooms, furnished and stocked with ) all belongs to a bedroom, they praised ! them highly and esteemed their owner to )be rich and powerful. Then descending and seeing the vast and pleasant court yard of the palace, the cellars stored with excellent wines and the many springs of very cold water, they com -1 mended it yet more. Then, desirous of repose, they sea,t<>d themselves in a log gia which commanded the court-yard, Tftti AUGUSTA CHRONICLE, MAY 3, 1893. 1 and the coirrteoua steward 'came nnd re ceived them and broujtbt dainty sweet meats and good wine for their refresh i ment.” In 1824 Miss Mars Farhill bought Villa Palmieri from the executors of the last of the Palmieri. Rhe bequeathed it . to the Grand. Duchess Marie Antoinette •of Tuscany, from whom the late Earl 'of Crawford and Balcarres purchased it iu 1874. The “Queen of the English, adds 'Die Florentino Gazette, is very popular among the common people in Florence. They cannot quite underKtaind the Indian a 1.11-ndanta, and call them princes,•won dering why they accompany Queen Vic toria. Her pet donkey, which drags the low chaise about the grounds of the villa, ' is also n mutter of great surprise among | the pisiple. That a queen, who of course ■ is rich, should prefer a donkey to n fine • horse seems to them very extraordinary, i Neyertheless they all have a hearty ben -1 venutu ii Firenza for the royal visitor I from Inghilterra, From n German paper it is learned that the pris-rnstination of the marriage of Prince Gisirge of England to Princess Mary, his late brother's betrothed, gives rise to many conjecture* and rumors. There is one very curious explanation current in foreign paper*. According to this Prince George, two years before the Duke of Clarence’s death, when the Fea sibility of himself eventually becoming heir prewumptive was not thought of, was morganatically married to a lady who is not of royal blood. He is unwij ling to separate from her. and advisers are not. wanting who declare that the king of England is not bound to marry a princess of a reigning house. Queen Elizabeth was the daughter of a citizen mother. If Prince George should die without issue, Princess Louise, the wife of tie duke of Fife, would lie the next heir to t.he throne. Her husband dis's not belong to a reigning family. Would their children be deprived of the right of snicessioii? Some affirm it. others deny it. In the former ease thi-mlleged marriage of Prince George would be no obstacle to his ascending the throne of Great Britain.

This at leairt is the ri'jexei of The Novoje-Vremja. of St. Petersburg. Extensive preparations are being made at the court off Teheran.

Another report asserts that, the em peror of Japan has resolved to visit Eu rope next summer. His tour would un doubtedly be an interesting novelty.

I where lie is to represent the emperor at the World’s Fair. He expects to remain six weeks in the United States. The Berlin 'l’nggebhitt publishes the following letter, written by Mr. Poult ney Bigelow to a friend in that city: “A Leipsic publisher. Herr <’. F. Muller, has brought out a German translation of my work. ‘The German Emperor and His Eastern Neighbors.’ I consider it a com pliment. but I do most positively object to his having added on the fly leaf a printed notice with the words: ‘At the request of the emperor’—which are a great surprise to me. The emperor was not even aware of the existence of my book until I sent him A copy; nor has he ever in the least endeavored to influence me in any way. If he has honored me with his friendship until now it is bt>- cause I have never asked a favor of him and flint there then' is absolutely none I should wish to accept. The above no tice. therefore, tends to deprive me of what, is dearest to me—my freedom of judgment. Hence I hereby request you to make this publicly known.” Os the late Queen Olga, of Wnrtem berg. The Si'colo. of Milan, tolls the fol lowing romantic story: Olga Nicola jowna. the Russian grand duchess, w.aij n lady of dazzling beauty when, in 1846, she married the king of Wurtemberg. She was. in fact, eonsiden'd to be the | handsomest woman in Europe. Her marriage was preceded by a strange romance. Prince Bariatinsky, and offi cer of the Imperial Guards at St. Peters burg. had conceived a desperate passion for the princess, which the latter re sponded. The lovers had already laid their plans for a flight and a secret mar riage in Germany, when one day_ Baria tinsky tbreov himself at the czar’s feet, confessing his love and assuring his sov ereign that his conscience _ would not permit him to deceive Iris master or disgrace the imperial fam ily. The emperor, touched by the offi cer's faithfulness and confidence, at onee made him field marshal and governor of the Caucasus, thus exiling him from the court and separating him from the Prin cess Olga. Twelve years ago he died in an imperial castle near Warsaw, un married. He was wont, to say: “For a common mortal who has had the happi ness to love an imperial princess and be loved bv her. there exists no ether wo man on’earth.” The cutting of the qanal of Corinth will soon be completed.

C.. to the number of 500. indulged in the luxury of cold blooded brutal mur der. They took a negro named John Peterson, strung him up and filled his body with bullets. John Peterson's crime was his color. Some one of his color had committed an assault on a. white girl. That is an offence which is apt to excite in any community the worst passions. In southern communities, where there is a large negro population not yet fully emerged from Jlie brutal and degraded condition which is the nat ural inheritance of ages of slavery and wrong, this crime, or any attempt to per petuate it, rouses the entire white pop ulation -to a pitch of frenzy bordering on insanity—a madness Grat nothing but the shedding of blood can assuage. It will not wait for the slow process of law. nor for the proofs of guilt, which in all civilized countries are required to be indubitable before the extreme pen alty is administered which bars all ap peal and can never be revoked. It does not always, or even often, content itself with the swift taking off of the offender, but laps witli brutal satisfaction the fiendish delight of seeing its victim die by slow torture with all the aceompa- ailment* of ingenious barbarity. That 500 citizens of any community should rise up and kill out of hand without trial any ono man of any color for any of fence does not seem to it* to betoken an ewoinraging eocinl condition. In this cjisi' the citizen* of Denmark hud not the palllntloq for their crime that their victim was guilty <»f the offence cilia rgcl. On the contrary he wns plainly, nnd by the best testimony pos sible, entirely innocent. The girl whom he wns chargixi with assn lilting exoner ated him. “I don't know him," she said, when r'onfroutixl with him. “He don't look like him at all; he don’t talk like the man; he is the same color; that is all." To the question repeated wtii-tlier : he "looked like the right man." she an iswerisl with an tinquiilifiixl "no," nnd with equal jiositive-ness addl'd that she should know the man who assnulled her if she saw him. That would seem to be enough to satisfy the angriest of mobs as to the innocence of John Peterson, It was apparently conclusive. But lie was! “of the same color.” So when the mob were told the result of the examination, one of them simply said, “Some one has to die,” nnd then they took John Peter-*, son out. and strung him up. nnd fired his j poor black body full of bullets. There was the end of John Peterson. Put to I death with cold blooded cruelty, not be-1 cause he had done anything that de served it, but because he was of “the sn.me color” with some one who had. and "someliody had to die.” And a coroner’s .jury, taking up the forms of law which bad lieen so cruelly dsiiinl the dead man, l"oko| at the work of tin- Uvwbreaken, and said on their oaths that John Pe terson “came to his death by hanging and shot wounds al the bunds of alxiut 500 citizens who intended to inflict the punishment of death upon him” for having committed an assault. Grim trav esty of law and justice! And the 500 citizen*, having sateil their rage, are no doubt proud of having vindicated by law the violation of it. nnd of having administered a lesson am! a warning Io negroes who lire ti'mpted; to commit crime by killing tin innocent negro who wgs “of the same color” with: a criminnl 'because “some one had to bi killed.” It is to the credit of such news papers ns Tin' Charleston News and Courier and The Atlanta Constitution that they denounce in the most imqiialifiisl terms the savagery and barbarity of the Denrfrark 560. It is not likely that any one of the murderers will ever be brought to justice or suffer the loss of a moment’s liberty for this brutal crime. But is is quite possible that if such journals ns those we have named, and others rejiresenting the intelligence and ' hiimajiity of the southern people, hold . them up to public execration us cold blooded murderers, who kill without provocation for the sake of killing, the li«*on may not be lost on other commu nities. —N< .v York Tribune. PLUCK OF HOHENZOLLDRNS. One need not hark back to Carlyle's original Conrad, the seeker of his fortune who tramped down from the ancestral eliffcastle on his way to take service un der Barbarossa. Before and since the “Grosse Kurfurst” there has been no Hohenzollern who has not been a brave man. He himself was the hero of Fehrbel lin. His son, the first King of the line, Carlyle's “Expensive Herr,” was “valiant : in action” during the third war of Louis XIV. The rugged Frederick William, fattier of Frederick the Great, had his own tough piece of war against the volcanic Charles XII. of Sweden, and did a stout stroke of hard fighting at Malplaquet. Os Fritz himself the world has full note. Bad, sensual, debauched Hohenzollern as was his" successor Frederick the Fat, he hail fought stoutly In hl* youth under his illustrious uncle. His son, Frederick Wil liam 111., overthrown by Napoleon, who called him a “Corporal,” did good soldierly work iu the “War of Liberation.” His eldest sou, Frederick William IV.. the vague, benevolent dreamer whom Punch used to call “King Cliquot," aud who died of softening of the brain, even he, as a lad had distinguished himself in the "War of Liberation,” and in the fighting during the subsequent advance on Paris. As for grand old William 1., the real maker of the German Empire on the quid fault per alium, fault per se axiom, he died a veteran of many wars. He was not seventeen when he won the Iron Cross by a service of conspicuous gallantry under heavy fire. He took his chances in the bullet fire at Koniggratz aud again oh the afternoon of Gravelotte. Not a Hehenzol lern of them all but shared as became their race in the dangers of the great war of 1870-71—even Prince George, the music composer, the only non-soldicr of the fam- Uv. took the field; William's noble sun. whose premature death neither Germany nor England has yet ceased to deplore, took the lead of one army; Ids nephew, Prince Frederick Charles, a groat com mander and a brilliant soldier, was the leader of another. One of his brothers, Prince Albert the elder, made the cam paign as cavalry chief, whose son, Prince Albert, junior, now a veteran tlelil mar shal, commanded a brigade of guard cav alry with a skill and daring not wholly devoid of recklessness. Another brother I’rinee Charles, the father of ( the “Red Prince,” made the campaign with the royal headquarters. Prinee Adalbert, a cousin of the soverign aud head ot the Prussian Navy, had his horse shot un der him on the battlefield of Gravelotte.— Archibald Forbess in the Contemporary Revb?w. IN A SLEEPING CAR. If you travel In "sleepers" fortify your self against that modern fungus—the wom an who absorbs the toilet room. She is übiquitous and her kind will be aboard in great numbers. Put comb, brush, tooth brush. band mirrow, button hook, hairpins, whisk broom, towel, soap, powder, cold cream and a small bottle of rose water, one-third of it glycerine. In your hand satchel, along with your wrapper. The rose water and glycerine will keep your skin fresh and clean, and In your berth you may make a presentable toilet before venturing to the toilet room—perchance to find it barricaded by this “awful woman." The day has passed when a woman in a sleeper in the early morning hours was a fright to behold, thanks to the pretty neg ligees, wrappers, dressing jackets and pet ticoats and increased comforts in arrange ment of sleepers, the modern woman may preserve even there her bourdoir. Silks are so eheap and negligees so easily made at home or to be had at the shops, that every woman should possess a wash or India silk wrapper or a French flannel jacket. The silk takes up little space in the satchel, and when the journey is ended it serves for the bed-room. In your berth remove your dress skirt and your bodice, loosen your garters and the band of your undeclothing, and slip on the wrapper or jacket, and comfort is yours, while, in case of accident or emergency, you will not be unpresentable.

Rutledge, which occiirrml today, al though not unexpected, has caused pro found sorrow throughout this city and state, for in his life was blended the character and industry of the old as j well us the new Carolina. Bearing a name which appears in the earliest rec ords of the establishment of the state, iu whose councils, as well as that of the continental congress, none stood higher in the estimation of the patriots of those eventful days, the sterling quali ties which have so signally marked a life spent in the service of two distinct eras of his country would seem a na tional result of antecedents so illus trious Distinguished by that suavity of man ner which characterized the old school of South Carolina gentlemen, Gen. Rut ledge was not laggard in making the ’best of the storm and wreck, out of) vdiich, Ijke so many others, he had to begin a fresh start iu the race of life | after the war. And in this part of his ' career quite as conspicuously as amid the tuore x active .scenes of sodier life, | did his energy, honesty aud fidelity of | performance prove him to be a man of no ordinary mould. Vivacuous and impulsive, chivalrous and generous, he represented a genera tion that attained manhood, when the, fierce competition engendered by ncces-1 sity did not exjst, aud when the badge of gentility was not so freely bartered, by candidates for political aud proles-1 sional honors as has grown to be the | practice under the rule of those "hoi now so largely shape the legislation of | the country.
