passages
"In Kerlin about fifteen years ago there
was a dinner party. which those who knew
of it regarded as one of the most remarkable
ever given. Not one of the guests was a man
of particularly lofty title, although all dud
titles and many had decorations. Not one

wee historic. About a score of guests were
present all men in old age, whose active
life was nearly if not quite Incn. Each bore
a matte which every monarch or court or
military personage knew well. Each was •
naked and an admired titan.
" These twenty men, more or less, were
the last of the knights-errant, the final rem -
nano of the age of chivalry. They had fought
under the sky of every known country.
They had slant men in dues and were feared
for their dexterity with sword and pistol.
They were famed wherever deeds of valor
were known and praised for reckless cour-
age and swift and dea.11y promptness in the
face of any danger. A century before
Europe hail been full of such inen. Fifty
years before the sight of them at any court
or on any ►attletield excited no comment.

that were iu the world at the time. had
gathered together at dinner to exchange
tales of hair -breadth adventure in all quar-
ters of the globe, and to deplore the dlown-
fall of the ancient, acute, and impetuous
sense of honor.
" Before they sat down there arose the
question, who should occupy the place of
honor at the head of the table. There were
Spaniards, Italians, Frenchmen. Germans,
Russians. Irishmen, eacu conscious of his
own prowess and fame. Not one there who
hail not high repute, who was not counted
dangerous before all men on the field of hon-
or. and reckless before all men at the can-
non's mouth. (Inc would think that a fierce
wrangle would have ensued among those
hardy and doughty grey beards. Rut no
such wrangle followed the question. With
one accord they turned to one of their num-
ber and said. ' tat him sit at the head of

Chelsea, on the 17th of June, it was the last
of the knights-errant who departed. "
When he dropped out of politic+, says the
writer :

neighborhood of Naples. The most re-
markable of those at one time was the vol-
canic island of (seta, which so late as nine
years ago suffered • fearful shock of earth-
quake which threatened a revival of its old
volcanic activity. Before the ('hri.tian era
Vesuvius was not known historically to
have been an active voltage, but the ancient
hers recognized iia character from
ata ana ogy to Etna. Strabo writingof it
said, " The crater had a barren and ashy

tious rocks which looked as if at some
former time then had burst from its orifices

History tells us that Spartacus, who with
his followers had taken refuge in the plain
of the crater, then appatently much larger
than at present, was defeated by ('ladius
and hu followers stealing upon them and
cutting off their retreat and destroying their
whole camp. In the year A.D. 63 the
mountain began to show signs of the volcanic
fire returning to its ancient channel, and for
sixteen years fearful earthquakes at inter-
vals gave warning that something dreadful
would happen.
