A Noble Woman's Harsh Reveage.
The lace Duchess of Galliera, who gave during her lifetime upward of $30,000,000 to the poor, is to have her shatue in her native city of Genoa. Wherever the traveller turns he will beshown schools and colleges, infirmaries and hospitals, altnshouses and model dwellings founded by the Duchess for the benefit of the Genoese. Now that the Duchess is dead, no time should be lost in removing trom the entrance hall of the Galliera Hospital the tablet which records,' to his eternal shame,' the treachery of her agent and relative, who decamped with $4,000,000, the money paid to his credit by the duchess for the building of the hospital. The poor old General, if rumour does not lie, used Hie money to save a spendthrift son from disaster. At any rate, with the Duchess's death, the ' tablet of revenge ' should cease to disfigure the walls of a noble building which has been erected in the name of charity, which covers a multitude of sins, and" of humanity, which condones them. — From a London letter.
