A few days after leaving Venice. I found myself on the shores, or bunks I hardly know which is the correct term of Lake Conio, writes a corres pondent of The San Francisco Chroni cle, It is a very pretty t-heet of water, but there aro ninny lakes in America quite as beautiful if le.-s historically in teresUn;; and less favored as to climate. Travelers stopping at Milan do not al ways seem to bo aware that they aro so near to Lake Conio, ami consequent ly fail to visit it, which is an error. Ry getting up at an unjournalistic hour in the morning, and taking a circular tick et, one can go to Conio, which occupies about an hour. Hero ho takes a steam erit is quite unnecessary to say it lit tle steamer, since big ones do not exist in Europe and is conveyed to Rellagio, where he has two or three hours for ob servation. Then ho takes another steamer equally small, and without go ing to Colieo, at the further end, a name with acholeraie sound he turns down the other arm, and at Lecco boards a train which bring him buck to Milan by dinner-time. It is time enough to see everything of special in terest, unless he desires to take up his abode in this quiet retreat, where ho can have an occasional whift' of tho mountain air, even in midsummer, and a sight of tho snows that forever whit en the higher peaks of the Alps. It may interest tho classical scholar to bo reminded that tl.o Romans lived and cultivated the soil about Lake Conio, and that a noble Roman of distinction, who might have been Seneca if ho was not another, had a villa on its shores. Villa is a better term here than palace, the grandiloquent word used by Rulwer in his inflated play, "Tlio Lady of Ly ons." Much of tho lake is so narrow that, as the steamer ripples in quiet waters, you can almost throw a stone on to cither bank, and tho visitor who re members Claude and Pauline scans at tentively the liltlo valleys and the steep hillsides that seem to disappear in the clouds, if pcrehanco ho may discover a palaco like that which tho deceitful lover described in such glowing terms to his enraptured inamorata. He re marks nothing that corresponds to tho rhetorical architectural details of Rul wer. There arc some very pretty residences along the banks, nestling in valleys, half hidden by foliage, but none that can bo called, with any propriety of speech a palace. Towns and villages abound along the entire length of the lake, which is thirty-two miles, though it often seems hardly possible for them to cling to tho steep hillsides, and they are all of the Italian type, with some variations introduced by foreign resi dents. Conio lias t-'i'.OJO inhabitants, Ccrnobbi 720, Rellagio 2.7-1.'), Menaggio 1,270, Colieo a, 22!), Lecco 7,010. Tho other towns and villages are generally smaller. The vine is cultivated on the hillsides, and a very good wine is made nt Rellagio, whose reputation, however, hardly transcends tho horizon of tho lake. The olive, which irrows in a gnarled and contracted fashion, sinco it finds the climate M)inovh:it inhospit able, brightens the steep slopes with its bright green foliage. Tho lake has a strange peculiarity. Having no sutll- cient outlet, it is subject to inundations whenever unusual rains aro precipitat ed on its capacious watershed and run oft" quickly into iL Ono of these, about a year ago, threatened to do serious damage to Conio. riio poet have been renlly, or havo professed to be, singularly inspired by the murvolous beauties of Lake Co mo. I happened to remember some lines of a pretty, but rather meaningless poem, who.so burden was the following couplet: I met my love iiuiong: the low Rose purlieus by Ilellugio. Of course the poet did nothing of tho sort, the pretended meeting being nil in his mind's eye, but thu lines perplex ed mo because I could not really toll whether tho place where ho had his alleged felicity was Rellagio, or Monag gio, thoro being so many "ggios and eggios in Italy that tho mind gets quite perplexed in trying to disontanglo hem. Thoro was certainly nothing in Rellagio that could be called a rose garden in tho sense in which the Per sian poets used the term, nor even as u California reared in a land of rosos, would understand it, and I could not conceive that Menaggio, which I could see a mllo or so oft' on tho other side, had any more luxurious floral acces sories. Gardens there were, but they wero in uo wise remarkable, and the roses or rose bushes in them wero not Abundant. It is thus that the poets be guile the people with their vain imagin ings! Rulwer had seen a great many palaces beforo ho wrote, but R is un certain that ho had then seen Lake Conio, while the other rhymester may have seen tho lake, but probably came from a land where one rose made a summer, and few in its gardens scemod a profusion. Lake Como is in its way quiet and beautiful. It is really a place of retire ment and repose, where tho nativo life is dull and silent, ami foreigners come rather to add to tho quiet than to dis turb it. Tho passage of tho steamer is a little feature of activity in the land scape. Its landing at tlio wharves of the tranquil villages, with the bustle of ar rival and departure, are the unimport ant events which give the day all that it has of healthy excitement. In winter its airs mu-t be chilling and its towns and villages absolutely cold and dead. In summer its attractions aro all seen at their best, and for itself, as well as for its associations, no tourist should ever pass so near as Milan without giv ing her a visit. Faith Cure. The Faith Cure is very old. It has appeared in different forms sinco thoro is nny record of tho human race. It requires a man of an almost dogged faith to bo cured by it, though. Tlio formula- is simple: Only have enough faith and you can bo cured of any hu man ill. If you aro not cured it is because you haven't enough faith. One of the most usual forms of faith cure is by tho laying on of hands. You havo rheumatism in tlio shoulder. You visit a doctor who practices that sys tem. Ho lays his hands on tho alllioted part, you feel better or think you do, and then ho lays ids hands on your pocket book for all you've got. If your faith begins to waver after this experience, the pains will probably re turn, but your money won't. You must not give up faith, whatover clso you lose. Healing mediums can bo found every where. How well they aro healed de pends on how many fools they can en tice into their not. Tlioy call thonisolves healers, and practico all over the coun try. Tlioy differ somewhat from tho ward "heeler," who practices chiefly at the polls. The first thing a quack docs when ho opens an ollico for tho practico of tho faith cure, is to lay in a good stock of old crutches, canes, splints, &c., which ho exhibits to the wondering public, claiming that they havo boon left behind by his patients who had no furthor uso tor them after one operation. Men hobble in on crutches, ho says, who haven't been able to get about in any other way for years. Ho makes a few passes over thorn with his hands, they exercise tlioir faith, and, presto, tho lameness is gone. Thoy fling away their crutches and start for homo on a run. Wo interviewed a man once who had invested a considerable sum of monoy in the mind cure, whioh doesn't differ very much from the faith cure. About tlio same amount pi mind is required in tho one as in the other. "Were you cured?" we asked. "I was." "Perfectly cured?" "Yes, I was perfectly cured, of my desire to bo humbugged ngain. I am lnmo yet, as you see, but I think my mind is more sprightly and athletic." Rrigliam Young used to practice the faith cure. A con tiding Mormon who had lost a leg in a bravo but ineffectual struggle with a threshing machino, not being able to secure a pension at Wash ington, came to Rrigliam in tho linn bo lief tlint ho was able to make anothor leg grow from tho stump, and requested hirn to do so. Ho desired him to graft on ono of tho early blooming variety, so that it would be ready for his spring plowing. I his proposition put Rrigliam to his stumps for a moment, but he was equal to this emergency, as ho had been for many others, oven whon they came in the shape of twins. "I could do it, of course," said Rrig hnrn, with a coroless wavo of the hand, "but how awkward you would feel on tho day of resurrection, getting around on three logs." "Getting around on three logsP" "Certainly. Tho old log would riso up with the new ono and insist on coup ling on." The Mormon concluded ho would try to stump along on what ho hud until tho universal rising. Texas Siflmgs. A Fashionable Bathing Suit. Young Lady -Aro you going shop ping, map Mother Yes, my darling.

His men worshipped him; the people had confidence in him; tho otlieera nearet to him, and especially those who formed a part of his military family, were warmly attached to him; but in congress there wero men who violently opposed him, and there were certain generals who not only envied him but were ready to seize any oppor tunity which misrht offer to bclittlo him and to place ono of their own number in his place. The chief men who were engaged in this business wero Generals Conway, Milllin, and Gates, and from tho prominent position taken in the af fair by the first-named officer, the in triguo against ashington goes by tho name of the Conway Cabal. After it had failed of its purpose by various roundabout methods; it looked about in congress and counted the dis all'ected to see if it would bo pos.sible to get a majority vote in favor of a motion to arrest tlio commander-in-chief. So at least the story runs which, from its nature, would not bo found in any record, but was whispered from ono man to another. The day came when tho motion was to be tried; the con spiracy leaked out, and Washington's friends bestirred themselves. They needed one more vote. Thoy sent post-hastu foi ono of their number, Gouverneur Morris, who was absent in camp; but they feared they could not get him in tune. In tlioir extremity, they went to William Duer, a member from New York, who was dangerously ill. Duer sent for his doctor. "Doctor," ho asked, "can I bo car ried to Congress?" "Yes, but at tho risk of your life," replied tho physician. "Do you mean that I should expiro beforo reaching tho place?'' earnestly inquired the patient. "No," camu the answer; "but I would not answer for your leaving it alive." "Vory well, sir. You havo done your duty and I will do mine!" ex claimed Duer. "Prepare a litter for mo; if you will not, somebody olse will, but 1 prefer your aid." Tho demand was in earnest, and Duer had already started whon it was anuouueud that Morris had returned and that ho would not ba needed. Mor ris had como direct from tho camp with tho latest news of what was going on thore. His voto would make it impos sible for tlio enemies to carry their point; tlioir opportunity was lost, and they never recovered it. Horace E. Scuddcr, in St. Nicholas. Matin Joytj.
