They are rich, hospitable folks, and act the part of Gaius in apostolic times. . . . Our trunks came this morning. Father stood and saw them all brought into Dr. Skinner's entry, and then he swung his hat and gave a hurrah, as any man would whose wife had not had a clean cap or ruffle for a week. Father does not succeed very well in opening purses here. Mr. Eastman says, however, that this is not of much consequence. I saw to-day a notice in the Philadelphia

Oh, God be praised!— After a few moments of repose, he again opened his eyes wide.— I have been gone soor whole days his life was pulsating in its gossamer tenement, fluttering over the misty barriers of the spirit-world. Bella's letters, received during his extreme illness, could now be read. They were among the noblest ever written by woman. e. I expected it, although I knew how crushingly the blow would fall. But if you had not loved your country better than Bella, it would have broken her heart. I hope now in a few weeks you will be again by my side. When your health is once more be my husband, God has decreed that I shall die a widow never married. He did return to the Mohawk Valley. He married Bella.

and through her Dante, whose family, though noble, was of the lesser nobility, became nearly connected with Corso Donati, the head of a powerful clan of the grandi, or greater nobles. In 1293 occurred what is called the revolution of Gian Della Bella, in which the priors of the trades took the power into their own hands, and made nobility a disqualification for office. A noble was defined to be any one who counted a knight among his ancestors, and thus the descendant of Cacciaguida was excluded. Della Bella was exiled in 1295, but the nobles did not regain their power. On the contrary, the citizens, having all their own way, proceeded to quarrel among themselves, and subdivided into the popolani grossi and popolani minuti, or greater and lesser trades,—a distinction of gentility somewhat like that between wholesale and retail tradesmen. The grandi continuing turbulent, many of the lesser nobility, among them Dante, drew over to the side of the citizens, and between 1297 and

Q — What was Bowles's conduct and manner toward you? A.--He was exceedingly affectionate, and called me my dear Bella; when he got out of the carriage he did not tell me the place it was, saying he stopped for orders; when he came back he told me I was to be taken to the Forty-seventh street station-house; the driver got down from his seat on the carriage, and I saw a gentleman whom I knew; I told the driver to tell that gentleman where he took me; I never saw Mr. Kennedy; I should not know him if I should see him; during my confinement in the station-house I saw the Captain and Sergeants and policemen ever
