Fielding ami Smollett. Fielding writes a real history based on fictitious facts; Smollett, like Dickens, strings together a collection of eomic episodes Fielding keejg his characters well in view from the first and groups them with classic art. Smollett picks np his actors on his travels and carries them throngh a medley of adventures and mishaps. His great merits consist in the irresistable for;e of his broad hamor, his endless
inventions of burlesque incidents and eccentric characters, bis vigor and fertility of resource, the variety of forms of life which he depicts, and the rarmlity with which his events succeed one another. The world, as he describes it, resembles the close of a pantomime. No snob hurly-burly of horse-play and boisterous roar of laughter could have arisen from any other society except that of the days of George IX Even at that period the accumulation of comic .disasters is exaggerated. Like Dickens, Smollett ha? a keen perception of eccentricities, and disguises autobiojrraphy under the form of fiction.. About" both, there is the same tone of vulgarity, the same tendency to lav on their color too thickly, to caricature rather than to paint, portraits. Both largely depend for their humor nraaiMlitv of external anneal
anees; both incarnate particular traits
and convert tnem into enaraensra, wm irtAnrtAriaMva ttiOlT fttttOTH 1)V their"
oddities. Smollett combines the coarse
ness of Knbens with the painter s large . . . i '
flowing style ana iorco 01 ouwriujj. Where he'employs his own recollections he has drawn characters wiiieli deserve to be "everlasting possessions." As picture of a Scotch compatriot, .Xiismahago, with a remote resemblance to Don Quixote, deserves to stand by -. . . li T):.!.:
the side of Uurtgai, uaigeivr, or au.-u Honiplies. He uses bis medical knowledge to draw the admirable sketch -of Morgan, the Welsh apothecary; his nautical experience enabled him to paint inimitable, though somewhat ctricatnred, sailors like Trunnion, Hatchway, Pipes, and Bowling. Between Le Sage and Smollett there are some instructive points of resemblance and of difference. Smollett traveled like Smelfnngns, with a jaundiced eye and the testiness of a Scotchman; lie Sage carried with him the gravity of a Frenchman who regards the world as a theater which offers him diversion. Both paint life, bat Smollett is most dependent on his reminiscences. With the exception of Triaquero, Sangrado, and the Marquise de Chaves, Le Sage has verv few personal allusions, while Smollett's figures are almost all caricatures of living person Lo Sage's great Kovel is comedy, Smollett's a farce. Both are moralists; but Le Sage preaches virtne by laughing at vice, Smollett by painting her in all her naded coarseness. Tie Quarterly Knxievs. . .

Some few years ago I was reading a ease, reported in the newspapers, in which a gentleman had knocked a cabman down because he had been impertinent to his wife, and it appeared from the evidence that the chief insult addressed the lady by the cabman was that he had called her a" woman."
This led me to consider, not for tne first time, why its was that "woman," applied as a modo of address to any female, is generally considered as an insult. I was reminded again the other day of this peculiar sensitiveness on

Antonio Maoliabechi, librarian to Cosmo IIL, Grand Duke of Florence, possessed such a marvolons memory that h's head was once styled "a universal index both of titles and matter." On one ocoaiiion tho Grand Duke sent for him to ask whether ho could get a certain book that was very scarce. "ao, sir," answered Magliabo.-hi, without a moment's hesi tation, "it is impos? siblo. Your highness' treasury would not buy it for you, for there is but one in the world. "That ia in tho (irand o:..aa. lilvriii'v nf i 'nmitnnf iiinrilo anil

Tho Lorillard staules are world-famed, and Tuxedo Phrk, which Pierre Lorillard has instituted in Jersey, is a swell thing conducted on English plans, ideas and principles. Mr. Lorillard's retirement from the Anieriban racing track in the year 1884 was one of short duration, and the recent talk that his farm, Rancocas. would be sold with the sale of tho horses had no foundation, as Mr. Lorillard has said ihat Hancoeas would not be sold, and that he would keep all the foals of thin year of the horses sold some fifty iu number and that Pierre, Jr., would keep all tho geldings, so that in all probability father and sou will enter and run distinct stables. Mr. Lorillard, Sr., spends lavishly not only upon himsolf and friends but also upon the employi s of his factoiy. A recent addition to tbo privileges enjoytd bv his workmen is a large library erected

this worsr. War in Europe. Tho threatening clouds of war are gathering over Europe, and any hour may bring to our ears tho opening thunders of suoh a tempest as that continent has not known since Bonaparte's star went down at Waterloo. Everything points to an early clash of arms, and when it does come it will bo svih a struggle as may considerably alter tho complexion of tho map of Europe. France but waits tho opportunity to repay (rermany for tho humiliation of Sedan, and the loss of Alsace and Lormine; Bussiahas tho old score of the Crimea to settle with England, and the dream of years lo crystallize into a reality in the possession of Constantinople und the llogphorus; Attstria cannot remain idle in such a conlliot, therefore when war does come it will be a battle of the giants. n'. 1 . ,. . ii. 1. .. - Iv.iAi, .1 nf .ir I'li.I ftin. fur i. nit! vr n
