Prince Edward of Wales is a great favorite with the King, and the fol- lowing story is vouched for on good- authority. Some time ago, a tailor called at York House to measure the young Prince for a suit of clothes.

The venerable, benevo- lent-looking old man, whose name is Vincenzo Rucci, is now 82 years of age. At the end of a forlorn campaign, which he carried on for six years, at the head of a big body of banditti, with the object of reâ€" instating the Bourbons, he fell into the clutches of the soldiers of the new regime, and was. sentenced to death by the Supreme Court of 'Langiano in 1866 for the assassin- ation of a German engineer, named Victor, and a Liberal Catholic archâ€" priest, Don Guiseppe, both of whom were supposed to be salaried spies co-operating with the new Government in the repression of brigandage. The death sentence was afterward c mmuted to penal servitude. Hav- ing served six years Rucci organiz- ed a clever plot, and in 1872 suc- ceeded in escaping, in company with ten convict comrades.
