"Comrades ! have ye heard the
:new8? A man hath come' forward to
answer the challenge of Jacopo the
Swoi'dsman!" ,
" This announcement, made in one of
the principal streets of Florence on a
fine summer morning in the latter part
Jot- the sixteenth century, was quite
siifilcient to gather - an - excited crowd
round the speaker the instant he uttered
it; for Jacopo Belloni (popularly
known as "Jacopo the Swordsman,"
from his deadly skill in fencing) was
widely renowned as the most .formid
able prize-fighter in all Italy, although
(according ; to the customVof . those
- times) - he - fought, not with bis fists,
but with his sword.
? The redoubtable Jacopo had already,
killed three or four fencers of renown
who had ventured to encounter ; him,
and then, finding ; that people ; seemed
to be getting rather shy of testing his
prowess, he had;lately issued a formal
challenge to all comers, and had offered
to stake a pretty large sum of money
upon the result.
This challenge, however, had al
ready 1 been thrice . repeated without
any one appearing particularly anxious
to accept it;: and therefore it was no
great wonder that the announcement
quoted above should - have been re
ceived with looks and exclamations of
doubt,' and even of fiat disbelief.
: "It is impossible, Maso! (Tom).
No man living would be so mad 1'
"It must be a jest and a sorry one,'
shoulders with a disdainful laugh, and
muttered some coarse jest " about
"whipping the child back to 'its
mother ;" but the young man took no
heed of him.
Then up rose a' fine-looking old man
in a richly-embroidered suit of crim
son velvet, the Marquess dl Scala,
who, as warden of tho Market Place,
had charge of tbe day's proceedings.
He announced that this young man
staked one thousand five hundred pis.
tho victorious youth, "and my name
is James Crichtonl"
"The Admirable Crichtonl shouted
the throng, with one voice, balling the
renowned Scot by the title which he
had already made famous throughout
all Europe.
"Ay, the Admirable Crichton, ia
good sooth," cried the Marque dl
Scala, "and never more truly admir
able than when ho thus rliki his life
to punish tho guilty, and gives up his
well-won gains to relieve tho distressed."
The Language of Animals.
Every one who has heard a dog or a
horse welcome Its matter with excla-
toles (nearly one'thousand three hun- mations of joy, or a cat plaintively
