BY TELEGRAPH. THE NEWS GRIST. Important Happenings in Every Quarter of the Civilized Globe. The Very Latest Intelligence Flashed Over the Telegraphic Wires. LATEST DISPATCHES. HOPE FOR PROHIBITION. The Motions of Bradford and Packard Denied—Favorable Decisions Expected. The Supreme Court on Wednesday, says a Washington special, denied the motion of Attorney General Bradford of Kansas for a rehearing in the prohibition cases. Chief Justice Waite, who rendered the decision, said that Mr. Bradford’s statement of facts in his affidavit exculpated him from any blame of negligence, but as his brief in the case covered all of the points involved the Court did not see the necessity of rehearing the arguments. Mr. Bradford left for home at once, and Mr. Packard, whose motion was also denied, has left the city. Mr. Packard believes that the situation of the Prohibitionists is more hopeful. He thinks from what the court said to-day that the cases will be determined in favor of the constitutionality of the Prohibition law, for if it had any doubt upon this very important question it would have waived all rules of procedure to hear everything that could be said upon it in order to protect itself from criticism. ROBBED THE TREASURY. The Cashier of the New York Branch Goes to Canada After Having Stolen a Large Sum. A New York special says: “The fact became known at a late hour to-night that Henry Martin Jackson, the Cashier of the Sub-Treasury here, was a defaulter and had fled to Canada. The discrepancy in his accounts was first discovered last Saturday, when he failed to appear at his desk. A hasty examination by Treasurer Canda ' showed a defalcation of SIO,OOO, and this so far seems the extent of the theft from the Government. The matter has been kept very quiet by Mr. Canda, although it is understood that he has pursued inquiries sufficiently to assure himself that Jackson is in Toronto. Henry Martin Jackson is the son of the aged Secretary of the New York Tract Society, who lives at Roseville, N. J. He is 36 years old, and has been connected with the Sub-Treasury over fifteen years.” BAD APACHE INDIANS. Settlers in Arizona at Last Determined to Exterminate Them if Possible. Albuquerque (New Mexico) special: “Additional details of the depredations committed by the Apache Indians near Holbrook, Arizona, are that nearly all the ranchmen in that neighborhood have suffered loss of cattle by these murderers, and have at last determined to take the law in their own hands, owing to the red tape programme in moving troops stationed near the reservation,thus allowing Indians to escape. The ranchmen have submitted to these outrages for the sake of harmony, and the howl put up by the Indian Humane Society, but have come to the conclusion that as Governor Gulick, in his last message to Washington, recommended that these Indians be sent to Florida with Geronimo, they are now justified in defending their stock against these thieving Apaches, and the war of extermination may commence at any time.” Interstate Commerce. The Interstate Commerce Commission on Wednesday gave a hearing to the representatives of a great many railroads upon the subject of the annual reports to be required from carriers under section 20 of the act to regulate commerce. The auditors or other officials of the leading railroads of the country, to the number of more than thirty, were in attendance, and gave their opinions colloquially upon the subject in hand. City Election in Baltimore. The exciting political campaign in Baltimore terminated Wednesday with the election of a Democratic Mayor by a majority of 4,205, a gain of 2,000 since the last election. The City Council will consist of twelve Democrats and eight Republicans in the first branch and seven Democrats and three Republicans in the second branch. The World’s Championship. The concluding game in the world’s championship series between the St. Louis and Detroit Base-Ball Clubs was played in St. Louis on Wednesday, and was won by the home team by a score of 9 to 2. Os the fifteen games played, Detroit won ten and St. Louis five. Detroit scored a total of seventy-one runs, against fifty-three by St. Louis. Sparks from the Wires. Mr. A. J. Drexel, the Philadelphia banker, says that the stories that have been published about a stringency in the money market have been greatly exaggerated. He speaks encouragingly of the business outlook for the coming y< ar. A dispatch from Valparaiso states the British bark Balaklava, from London to San Francisco, was dismasted during a gale and had her decks stove in off Cape Hom. During the gale nine men, including the mate, were washed overboard and drowned. A cable dispatch states that the Czar visited Copenhagen with the view of taking decisive action with regard to Bulgarian affairs, and that he has formed an antiGerman alliance between Russia, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, and Denmark. Other powers are expected to join the alliance. EAST. The failure is announced of Woodman. True & Co., jobbers in dry goods at Portland, Me., with liabilities of $350,000. At a meeting of steel manufacturer held in Pittsburgh a change was made ii the classification of the different grades oi steel. WEST. The report comes from Hillsboro, 111. that, owing to the protracted drought o last summer, the honey product of thatse tion, which is usually large, will amount ti nothing. A Bayfield (Wie.) dispatch says: “Tie lumber firm of Rood & Maxwell, of Wash burn, the heaviest firm on this side of th, bay, assigned to O. Flanders, of this place The liabilities are estimated at $400,000 The firm claims that it can pay all it owe and have SIOO,OOO left.” The Michigan and Ohio Coal and Lum her Company, capital $50,000, whose yard and mills are located at Tecumseh, Mich, have assigned. Liabilities and assets abou $20,000. The thermometer at Billings, M. T., oi Monday night, registered 15 degrees belo' zero. Four inches of snow had fallen.

Fargo (Dak.) special : “The cold wave that struck this section last night sent the thermometer down to six above zero. Red River was frozen so that persons cross on i the ice. Oldest settlers do not remember a season when it froze over so early.” ‘ Mason City (Iowa) special: “The first heavy snow of the season in this section of the State fell Monday. It snowed almost continuously throughout the entire day. In the morning it was accompanied by a heavy , wind. The ground is frozen several inches, and it ends the plowing for this year. Farmers are well prepared and protected for the winter.” A Gaylord (Mich.) dispatch says: “A terrific snowstorm has been raging here for two days, and the snow is , now' eight inches deep.” A Waupaca (Wis.) dispatch says snow fell there to the depth of six inches. The Toledo, Peoria and Western railway has settled with relatives or legal representatives of forty of the people who were killed at Chatsworth, 111., and with sixty of those who were injured. The largest sum paid on a death loss was . $2,000. There are 500 cases of supposed tyi phoid fever in Cincinnati and the disease is rapidly spreading. , By the explosion of a battery of boilers in the Lawrence Iron-Works at Ironton, Ohio, four men were killed and twenty persons injured. ; The Comptroller of the Currency has declared a dividend of 25 per cent, in favor of the creditors of the Fidelity National Bank of Cincinnati, on claims proved amounting to $2,386,569. ' The boiler of the engine of the John 11. ( Glass thrashing outfit exploded on the ■ farm of George Irwin, near Frederick, ; Dakota, and John Glass, Ira Gardner, of Gardner, Dakota, and Fred Banmaster ' were killed. Two others were fatally wounded. Eau Claire (Wis.) special: “Considerable excitement was created here recently by the reported discovery of gold one mile from the west bank of the Chippewa River, , and about fifteen miles from its mouth. , Specimens have been brought here of high value, and a mining company will be formed. ” SOUTH. Three coaches of the Chesapeake and Ohio fast express were thrown from the ■ track at St. Albans, twelve miles below Charleston, W. Va. The cars were filled with passengers, few of whom escaped unhurt, and three or four probably sustained । fatal injuries. The disaster was caused by । a defective switch. - A Rio Grande City (Texas) dispatch says: “Starr County, along the border of Mexico, is in a state of terror. Mexican । bandits ride in gangs through the streets of this and otlier neighboring towns at night, and the officers of the law dare not show themselves. Saturday a party of 1 bandits came to town and mailed two letters at the postoffice, one to Manuel Guerra, of Roma, and the other to Senor Donacino Garcia, of this place, notifying them them that unless they immediately raised $15,000 and SB,OOO respectively for the bandits their stores would be blown to atoms with dynamite. Gov. Ross has been appealed to for protection, but thus far no response nas been received. The United States cavalry located at Ringgold barracks, near here, are of no service, because of the official red tape necessary to move troops from the barracks on short notice. Before the order from headquarters could arrive the town might be sacked and the bandits safe in Mexico. Stage traveling in this section is at present dangerous.” Yellow-fever is spreading at Tampa, Fla. Perry King and Drew' Green, negroes, were lynched at Tallulah, La., for attempt ing to commit a burglary. Austin (Tex.) special: “Gov. Ross has received information that Mexican bandits are raiding into Hidalgo and Starr counties, driving off stock, and in one instance carrying off a woman, for whom they demand a ransom. Capt. Jones' company of rangers was ordered there to give protection. ” WASHINGTON. A Washington special of Sunday says: “The Supreme Court met yesterday afternoon in consultation, and took up the application made yesterday by the counsel of the condemned anarchists. The consultation wa_ not a long one, but the agreement was reached that the earliest moment at which the appeal could be argued would be Thursday next. That will afford the State time to send its representatives here to be prepared to answer the arguments of Messrs. Butler, Pryor, Black and Tucker. As soon as the court had reached its decision word was conveyed to the defendants’ counsel, and the clerk of the court was instructed to notify Attorney General Hunt, in order that he may attend. The general opinion among lawyers here is that the case, as presented by Gen. Pryor for the condemned, is a weak one; that as presented it was wrapped up in a great deal of language that w 11 be easily stripped off, and that the only point really to be decided is as to the constitutionality of the Illinois jury law.” President Cleveland and party reached Washington on Sunday, the 23d inst. The President expressed himself as heartily glad to get home, though as heartily glad that he went away. During the three weeks of his journey he traveled forty-five hundred miles, passed through seventeen States—crossing three of them twice—and saw and was seen by several millions of American citizens. There were no brass bands, no committeemen, no crowds at the station in Washington, and it is nothing uncomplimentary to the people whom the President has visited to say that everyone of the touiists was glad of it. After breakfast the President and Mrs. Cleveland drove out to their country home at Oak View, where they spent the day. The Treasury Department will issue no more silver certificates or other paper currency in denominations below five doll irs INTERSTATE COMMERCE. A Washington telegram says: Three more complaints from George Rice of Marietta, Ohio, against the Standard Oil Company have been received by the Interstate Commerce Commission, making thirteen in all. The commission had no hearing to-day. To-morrow it wid hear arguments respecting the liabilities of express companies under the interstate commerce law. A < ommunication has been received by the commission signed in behalf of fourteen commercial associations of Boston, antagonizing the project of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, which claims that the practice of allowing an export rebate on shipments from the West via Boston to foreign ports is an unjust discrimination against local consumers, and seeks to have the practice stopped. The communication, while favoring a revision of rates declares that any change compelling the export trade to pay more for shipments byway of Boston than byway of New York would ruin Boston's export trade. GENERAL. Extensive sugar-cane fields in the disrictof Roquil, Cuba, have been submerged >y springs which have suddenly appeared here. President Cleveland has issued the ollowing proclamation: The goodness and the mercy of God which ave followed the American people during all to days of the last year claim their grateful ecognition and humble acknowledgment. By ills, omnipotent, power He has protected us

. from war ana pestilence, and from every , national calamity; Oy His gracious favor the ! earth has yielded a generous roturn to the 1 ; labor of the husbandman, and every path i। of honest toil has led to comfort and I contentment; by His loving kindness the . । hearts of our people have been replenished : with fraternal sentiment and patriotic ■ [ endeavor; and by His unerring guidance we ' I have been directed in the way of national pros- ; Verity. To the end that wo may, with one accord, testify our gratitude for all these bless1 ings, I, Grover Cleveland, President of tho ’ United States, do hereby designate and set , apart Thursday, the 24th day of November next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, to bo observed by all tho people of tho land. That day let all secular work and employment be suspended, and let our people assemble in their i accustomed winces of worship and with prayer . and songs of praise give thanks to our Heavenly Father for all that Ho has done for us, 1 while we humbly implore tho forgiveness i of our sins and a continuance of His mercy. Lot families and kindred bo united that day, and let their hearts, filled with kindly cheer and affectionate reminiscences, bo turned in thankfulness to the source of all their pleasures and tho Giver of all that makes the day glad 1 and joyous. And in tho midst of our prosperity and happiness let us remember the poor, tho needy, and the unfortunate, and by our gifts < f 1 charity and ready benevolence lot us increase . the number of those who with grateful hearts shall join in our thanksgiving. Horace Webster & Co., the insolvent । wholesale liquor dealers of New Yoik, Chicago, and Philadelphia, owe $705,730. i Their assets are valued at $250,000. The visible supply of wheat in this coun try is 32,388,581 bushels; of corn, 7,921, 491 bushels; and of oats, 5,889,685 bushels. : A year ago the stock of wheat in sight was 55,374,100 bushels; of corn, 13,434,840 bushels; and of oats, 5,389,940 bushels. ■ FOREIGN. Foreign dipatches state that one of the ( first fruits of Italy's recent alliance with Germany and Austria is her firm footing on i the Red Sea littoral at Maesowah, contigu--1 ous to Abyssinia. France has withdrawn . her opposition to the Italian colonization projects, and the tribes who have been besieging Massowah have proclaimed their friendliness. King John of Abyssinia ' has also made concessions which ) will allow tho Italians to carry out tneir policy. It is further inti- ' mated that England, w’hich has great influence with him, has been instrumental in 1 preparing the way for peace between the Abyssinians and Italians in return for Italy's promised support of Prince Ferdinand's claims upon the Bulgarian sovereignty. The new situation of affairs is I also significant in connection with the report that Austria and Germany are urging ’ England to come into the alliance, which ’ would make a quadruple union of immense I strength. Excavations in Jerusalem have re--1 suited in the discovery of remains of the ancient town wall and the position of the gates of the town during the lifetime of 1 tho Savior. News has reached Belgium that Stan--1 ley, the explorer, has advanced about 780 1 miles since last heard of. Aug. 25 he was ' in excellent health. He bad met with a . friendly reception from the natives in a hitherto unexplored country through wh ch । ho had to pass. As a precaution Stanley . has had intrenched camps constructed in , all his halting places. STATUE QF LINCOLN. 1 The finest product of American sen pture ' yet achieved has become an ornament of । Chicago. Says a special from that city: lite colossal bronze statue of Abraham l.in- , co u, by Augustus Sailit-Gaudens. the foremost of American sculptors, was unveiled nt ' Lincoln Turk, on Saturday, the 21st inst., in the presence of a vast concourse of people. The veil was withdrawn by Abraham Lincoln, son . of Hon Robert T. Lincoln, and Hon. Leonard Swett, tl e distinguished lawyer and a life long 1 friend of the great emancipator, delivered the oration. Mr. Saint-Gaudens is a native of New York, and 35 years old. He devoted three yearn 4 5 j H 4? j j <Wi r fl rT’ I i cM I Tint STATUE UNVEILED. I to this magnificent work of art. He sought to embody in the figure the dignity and nobleness of the President's character. His purity of J artistic feeling made him scorn any accessories incongruous or inconsistent. Simple, lofty, | strong, kind, but plain, honest, ragge i Lincoln—- ! this was the ideal of the work. That it is faith- . fully effectuated in bronze till who have seen I the statue affirm. The figure of the great War i President, which Is eleven feet in height, j stands just a little to tho front and left of a [ chair of state. The idea meant to bo conveyed I by the sculptor is that he has just arisen to rej ceive a delegation which lias waited upon him. i '1 he 1 ft leg Is advanced, tho weiuhtof the body । resting mainly on the right, while the bend is | thrown forward a little, bringing Lincoln's stoop I hit > prominence. The right arm is held at full I length behind his back, while the left arm is : thrown across his chest, the fingers grasping I the lapel of the long, old-fashioned frock coat | whi h Lincoln usually wore. The expression 1 is thoughtful and what may strike many as I melancholy. The chair from which tho Prcsi- : dent is supposed to have risen is of largo size, । with a rounded back, and is highly ornamented with carvings of oak leaves, pine cones, and palms. On the back is an eagle with outstretched pini- vs MARKET REPORTS. NEW YORK.

HER NAME WAS SMITH. The Monotony of u Hallroad Kido Kelieved by an Inquisitive Rochester Rustic. i lie boarded a train at Rochester, and came to tho only vacant seat in tho car, beside a young lady. “This seat taken, ma’am?” “No.” “Wal, then, I guess I’ll set down.” Two minutes’ silence. “Have some peanuts, ma’am?’’ “No, I thank you ” “Jiminy! don’t you like peanuts? Just like my wife. My great holt is peanuts and bananors. Perhaps you’d like a banauor, ma’am ?” “No, nothing, tLank you.” “Live up to Buffalo, ma’am ?” “Yes.” “Perhaps you know my friend Cap’n Jack Sloan, lives down on Elk street?” “No; I don’t know where Elk street is.” “By gol! And you live in Buffalo! Why, I’ve sold butter on Elk Street Market nigh on to twenty years. My name’s Johnson. Your name ain’t Jonos, is it?” “No.” “’Tain’t Williams, or anything of that kind?’’ । “No.” “That’s what I thought. 1 don’t s’pose now it’s Brown or any o’ them colors?” “No.” 1 “Been far?” 1 “Not far.” i “Syracuse, niebbe; or Albany, eh?” “No.” ‘ “No? Gol! Hain’t been to Now 1 York?” “Yes.” t “Jiminy! I’ve never been there, though I saw a pretty slick feller from there once. Them Now Yorks is regular goors, ain’t they?

Gen. J. H. Wilson reports the Great ; Wall of China in tine condition where : lio examined it, though ruinous in parts. It is from 25 to 30 feet high, I 15 to 20 feet thick, and revetted out- ; side and in with cut granite masonry, I laid in regular courses with an exceli lent mortar of lime and sand. It is : surmounted by a battlement of gray burned brick, 18 or 20 inches thick, covered with moss and pierced with crenelated openings for the defenders, > whether archers or matclilockmen, to > j lire through. The rear or inner revet- , ' ment wail is also furnished with a ’ lower parapet, but is not crenelated. ’ The top is paved with a double layer of ’ J brick about a foot square. The inside ; ■ of the wall is made of earth and loose . ’ stone, well rammed in. Every 200 or i 300 yards there is a flanking turret 35 ’ or 40 feet high, projecting beyond and i overlooking the face of the wall in both ’ directions, and near each turret is a i stone staircase leading down between ’ the walls to a door opening upon the j ground in the rear. Ihe most astonishi ing thing about it is, however, that it J climbs the steepest and most ragged , mountain sides, courses along their ‘ summits, descends into gorges and . ravines, and, rising again, skirts the face of almost inaccessible crags, crosses rivers, valleys and plains in endless succession from one end of the empire to the otlier —from the seashore of the Gulf of Pe-Chee-Lee to the desert wastes of Turkestan. No spot is left unguarded or uncovered, and no matter how fierce and active were the wi'd tribesmen who assailed it, or how innumerable their armies, it is evident that it could, if well defended, defy the world up to the day of gunpowder and artillery. Indeed, it is almost impossible to conceive of its capture, except through treachery or great neglect on the part of those whoso duty it should be to defend it. It is laid out in total defiance of tho rules of military engineering, and yet the walls are so solid and inaccessible, and the gates so well arranged and defended, that it would puzzle a modern army with a first-class siege train to get through it, if any effort whatever was made for its defense. Tae Hoosier Schoolmaster. “Flie fro’ the presse, and dwell with soothfastnesse.” This motto is inscribed just within the door of Dr. Edward Eggleston’s library, a substantial stone building overlooking Dunham’s Bay, which sets out from the main waters of Luke George, two or three miles from Caldwell. The quotation from Chaucer which Dr. Eggleston has had cut into tho door-post of his library is found also on his bookplate, showing it to boa favorite passage. Dr. Eggleston’s mode of living is simple. He devotes three or four hours a day—not more—to literary work. From 9 till, as a rule, 1, ho is in his library. Tho afternoon he spends in out-door exorcise. He is fond of rowing and sometimes indulges ' in fishing. It is a pleas.mt sight to see him engaged in playing with his four grandchildren, who are very fond of their grandfather and take alt manner of liberties with his flowing beard and

hair. The Doctor’s hair, which, by tho way, is turning gray rather rapidly, is not as long now as he used to wear it in the days when Mr. Beecher wished to speak to him after the sermon in Plymouth Church, and called out to him: “Come up here, you shaggy man. ” For Such Are We Lawyers. Prosecuting Attorney (to witness): “And what did Smith say in reply ?” Opposing Counsel: “I object!” The Court: “State your objection.” O. C.: “I claim, your honor, that Smith’s reply is not relevant. Even if it were, it is not proper matter to go in.” P. A.: “If your honor please, I claim it is perfectly competent. The witness has said that he asked Smith ‘How do you do?’and if your honor will turn to Bimblebeg vs. Applecart, 584 Massachusetts Reports, your honor will find a decision bearing out my view of the matter in a precisely similar ease. And your honor will remember in the somewhat celebrated ease of Hogg vs. Swinesby that Chief Justice Bencher ruled that such a question was admissible.” O. C.: “But your honor will remember that the 1 ord High Justice Ba-wig of tho Court of Queen’s Bench has given a contrary opinion, and Blackcoke, in his history of the common law, lays down the principle that testimony cannot bo sought beyond the purview of the subject matter immediately under consideration.” I’. A.: “If your honor will please, the weight of authority is entirely antagonistic to the view expressed by the Lord High Justice cited by my brother, and 1 think your honor will decide that the principle laid down by Blackcoke is inapplicable to the matter in hand.” Tho Court: “The Court is of the opinion that the question is admissible.” P. A. (to witness): “Now, Mr. Robinson, when you asked Smith ‘How do you do?’what answer did he make? Now, take time; the exact words, if you can recall them.” Witness: “He didn't say anything.” I'. A.: “That will do, sir. Call the next witness.” — Boston Transcript. Lincoln and Stanton. The great War Minister never subscribed to the modern idea that “it is not wrong to steal, but wicked to get caught at it.” He demanded absolute honesty of everybody who had business with the Government. A distinguished Surgeon General was thought to be engaged in a crooked deal with the drugs supplied to the army. Lincoln was placated. Senators of the United States, Henry Wilson, of Mas- ; saebusetts, at the head of them, begged < for leniency for this man. Stanton’s I answer was: “A republic should be the vast statue of an honest man. j While our sons and brothers are dying I on the Chickahominy this man, like . Alexander, has been ‘getting gain’ out of army contracts. Ho must resign or go to jail.” Ho resigned. After the battle of Gettysburg a serenade was suddenly improvised, and ”,000 people assembled in front of the White House. Lincoln was in splendid spirits. It was midnight. He sent for Stanton. He came. He made the most brilliant speech ever uttered from that historic porch. As Mr. Lincoln advanced to quiet the wild huzzas of the multitude, Secretary Stanton took off his h .t and asked for “three cheers for Abraham Lincoln.” They were given with a will, and the great and good Lincoln walked up to Stanton and clasped him in his arms before ho addressed the multitude. The Reau lileal of a Family MetHcine. A remedy which promptly and completely roHeves ailments of such common occurrence ns indigestion, constipation, biliousness, and disorders of a malarial typo, is assuredly tho boau ideal of a family nivdiemo. Such Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is not only capable of j eradicating those complaints, but also counterI acting a tendency to kidney troubles, rheumatism, and premature decadence of stamina. Taking it “all round,” as tho phase is, thereto probably not in existcnco so useful, effective, and agreeable a household panacea as tho Bittors Nor is it loss highly esteemed by the medical profession than by the families of America. Numberless testimonials from pro fossional sources of irrefragable authenticity evince its merit. The demand for it abroad, no less than in the land of its discovery, is certainly increasing, time and experience of its beneficent effects confirming the high opinion originally formed of it. Sped ic’.es. “1 do not think that eye troubles are on the increase,” said a dealer in optical gools, “although the demand for spectacles is greater in proportion than ■ the growth of population. The reason i for the increase is that the people have ■ less timidity about using spectacles. There is an impression, not yet effaced, that the use of spectacles once begun can never be laid aside. This is not true. The fact is that a person who really ought to wear spectacles by putting off the adoption of them only necessitates the wearing of a higher number when he does put them on; ; whereas, if he bad worn *pecta les in time, he might have so nursed his ocular strength as to discard them at pleasure, for a period at least.” “Are not eye-glasses very often worn when there is no real need of them?”. “Quite likely they are,” replied the dealer, “but I notice that the sale of eve-glasses does not keep up in the same proportion as the sale of spectacles. The eye-glass mania seems to be dying out.” “Where are spectacles manufactured?” “The frames arc made in this country. Foreigners cannot compete with us in making the frames. The pebbles arc mostly ground abroad. Pebbles are also ground to order here in special cases.” “I would sooner sell one pair of spectacles to a man,” added the dealer, “than half a dozen to a woman. A woman seems to be more anxious how she will look in the spectacles than how she will look through them, and seems to think we ought to have look-ing-glasses here as big as those iu the dry-goods stores.”— Jewelry News.

How “Vanity Fair” Was Named. In the earliest days of our friend' ship Thackeray brought his morning work to read to me in the evening. He had just commenced “V’anity Fair, and was living at the Ohl Bhip Inn, where he wrote some of the first bers. He often then said to me: 1 wonder whether this will take, the publishers accept it, and the world read it?” I remember answering him that I had no reliance upon my own I critical powers in literature, but that I , had written to my sister, Mrs. Frederick Elliot, and said: “1 have made a great friendship with one of tho principal contributors of Pun h — Mr. Thackeray. He is now writing a novel, but can not hit upon a name for it. I may be wrong, but it seems to mo the cleverest thing I ever read. The first time he dined with us I was fearfully alarmed at him. Ilie next day we walked in ( hichester laik, when he told all ab ut his little girls, and of his great friendship with the । Brookfields, and I told him about you . ' and Uhesham Place.” When he heard this, and my opinion of his novel he , burst out laughing, and said: ‘th! Mademoiselle (as ho always called me), it is not small beer, but 1 do not know whether it, will be palatable to the London folks.” He told me some time afterward that, after ransacking his brain for a name for his novel, it came upon him unawares, in tho middle of the night, as if a voice had whispered, “Vanity Fair.” He said: “I jumped out of bed and ran three times round my room, uttering as 1 went, A anity Fair. Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair.’ — Sr timer's Maqa.iite, The Marks of a Lady. There are certain marks of a lady, no matter what her surroundings or circumstances may be. These are a gentle voice, refinement shown in her choice of language, and neatness in her dress. Few need plead want of time as an excuse for untidiness, for if love of order and neatness are innate in the character they will prove themselves, even when the hands are burdened with cares that would seem to bean excuse for untidiness. And. there is no excuse for slang, exaggeration or affectation in language, except ignorance or natural vulgarity.
