THE ILLUSTRATED NATURAL HISTORY
of BRITISH MOTHS. By. Edward Newman, F.L.S., F.Z.S.
Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved In his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties
require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work
Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at is. 6d. each part. Part X.
new ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Field.
" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph.
" It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages.
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
many rare specimens."—Standard.
" The completion of Mr. Newman' = work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be at ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . • . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as very useful addition to
our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9.

PARSONS BY 'POPULAR ELECTION.
The chaplaincy of St. John's, Deritend, Birmingham,
is filled by_ popular election. The campaign which has
just taken place affords an excellent idea of what may be
expected if the parish 'clergy should be elected' by the
ratepayers. One of the candidates is the Rev. H. L.
Elliott, and the Birminghwo Post gives, the ,following
sketch of his speech on TueSday evening delivered
at two successive meetings—at the top. of High-street,
Bordosley, and at the Five Ways, Ravenhurst-street :
Mr. Elliot, in the course of his remarks denied that he
was a 'Ritualist, or that he had ever been inside a Ritualist
Church, and therefore (alluding to a handbill which had
been circulated) he said the statement it 'contained was
. i
not worthl n which paper upowch t was printed. He con-
tended that Mr. Badger (one of his opponents) had no ex-
clusive claim to Protestantism. He (Mr. Elliot) was a
Protestant, but went a step further in his
Protestantism than Mr. Badger, inasmuch as
he protested, not only against the Popery and
the infallibility assumed by. councils, but against the in-
fallibility assumed by Birmingham Popes and Birming-
ham, ,-„Bishops. (Applause.) 'He protested against that
bigotry, ignorance,and assumed infallibility characteristic
of party which was pleased to call itself Evangelical.
The' matter rested with the . electors and the question
whith-had to be decided was this : Were' the people of
Birmingham willing to accept the hard-and-fast
line of theology laid down 300 years ago, or were
they willing to support a man 'who contended
that that line must be re-examined? He (Mr. Elliot)
came forward as. the representative of Liberal opinions,
not only in matters 'bolitical and social, but in religious
thought. (Hear,. hear.) Here -is Mr. Badger's speech
"on the waste ground at . the corner of Lower Trinity-
• street and Heatlimillrlane-"-i----Mr. Badger addressed the '
meeting at some length, and based his remarks on the
words, "Fight- the good fight." He said
they had had for some time paSt to fight against prejudice,
ignorance, and false notions, and he hoped they had come
pretty nearly to the end of the battle: On the morrow,•
if it should please God, he trusted'their labours would be
crowned with victory. (Cheers.) He was thankful tc
those who had been working for - him, and , should be
grieved to see them disappointed. He then urged those
whom he addressed to fight for the grand "old truths as
contained in the Bible, and in combating. priestly assump-
tion, he contended that the blessing of a butcher, if he
were a good man, was better than that of a bishop who
was a worldly man. (Cheers. )• He urged them to fight
with the weapons of sanctified reason, and to persevere
with patience in their struggle on the- morrow. In reply
to the question, whether, if elected, he would give up the
living he now held, Mr. Badger said it was impossible for
him, by law, to hold two appointments, and that; if
elected, he should at once commence and continue to
preach in the chapel. (Cheers.) What had been stated
about his holding two livings was a mere trick. (Hear,
hear.) Mr. Martin then proposed " That Mr. Badger is
a fit and proper person to fill the appointment of chaplain
to St. John's ; and that this meeting pledges itself to
secure his triumphant return on the morrow." (Cheers.)

CHARLES DICKENS AND WESTMINSTER
ABBEY.

It will give the counts great pleasure to learn that the
proposal we supported on Monday has commended itself
to the relations of our great novelist, and that the remains
of Charles Dickens were on Tuesday laid in Westminster
Abbey. Any announcement of this decision had been
purposely withheld, in order that the last duties might be
rendered in as much quietness and privacy as possible.
The suggestion we ventured to offer has in this respect
been followed, and Dickens's directions have been strictly
observed in the simplicity of his funeral. His relations
may be assured of our cordial gratitude for the readiness
with which, amid their personal sorrow, they have
thus consulted the feelings of their countrymen. They
have happily combined a due consideration for the
wishes of the dead and a regard for the reasonable de-
sire of the public to claim for the great author, in
death as in life, a national as well as a private relation-
ship. It is not the mere splendour of the Abbey which
renders it a fit tomb for such names. A green turf offers,
perhaps, as becoming a sepulchre, and certainly as beau-
tiful a one, as a -mausoleum. But the Abbey may be
considered as the family grave of the nation. The mass
of men play their part among a small circle of relatives
and friends ; they have their little time of influence, and
they rest most appropriately among those who knew them
best and where they will be longest remembered. But
there are some few who hold kindred with successive
generations, whose friends are found in the great of every
age, and whose influence lives as long as there are Eng-
lishmen, or even men, to be influenced ; and
such as these are most fitly laid in that which
is to the nation " The Sepulchre of our Fathers."
This modest burial in a magnificent abbey affords no
inapt illustration of Dickens's life. His genius sur-
rounded him with endless creations of beautiful thought
and feeling, and even, as he himself has recently assured
us, of devotion. But they never separated him, as they
have too often separated other artists, from common life
and common sympathies. It was his pleasure, if not his
very genius, to know none but homely thoughts and ways.
His fame was great enough to have justified feelings of
pride, or to have enabled him to gratify a laudable ambi-
tion. But lie chose a simple life, and adhered with con-
stancy to the single aim he had adopted. He
felt that the great gifts of heart and head with
which he had been endowed were such as were • best
employed in the quiet work of a man of letters. He
was concerned with the natural relations of men
and women, not with the artificial forms of society
and thought. His genius saw through our trappings,
whether of want or wealth, and in life, as in death, is
happiness was found in teaching us independence of such
externals. He left directions that he should be
cawedoca
ed
to the grave as an ordinary man—nothing
nothing less ; and his career has received this flitting
completion. But his true place
wamon have
e now recognised
us none the less
demanded acknowledgment, and e
it in the only public manner possible. We congratulate
the Dean of Westminster on his ready sympathy with
the public feeling. He has found a-grave for Dickens by
the side of Macaulay, close to Handel, Johnson, Garrick,
and Campbell, under the shadow of the monuments
of Thackeray, Addison. Goldsmith, and Shake-
speare. The man, the company, and the place
are alike worthy of each other. It was said of old to
be the work of dramatic writers' "to purif
ribey
the
the
passions," and nothing could better de sc
office of modern novelists. It is, moreover,, a peculiarly
necessary as well as lofty function in a civilisation like
our own. The chief danger of a highly-cultivated society
is to fogter artificial modes of thought and feeling, until
the truth of nature is obscured, or its sensibility crushed
by conventions. It is against outrages of this kind that
Dickens appealed to our native human feelings of pity.,
fear, and love, and his glorylies in the success with which
he recalled to us the pure sentiments of nature. He taught
us .to fear, not power; but wrong ; he led us to pity the
suffering, and to love the good. So far, at least, as this
world is concerned, no profession can assert a higher aim
than thus to make us more simple, more pure, and more
true ; and, as the Bishop of Manchestor said the
other evening, the work of the great novelist
was but in harmony with the work of the Church. Among
the means of this moral purification of literary art is all
but the highest, and as civilization advances it exerts a
wider and deeper force. Many a great statesman who
has been borne with pomp to the Abbey had less oppor-
tunity for benefitting his country and his race than the
novelist who was on Tuesday so quietly laid in Poets'
Corner ; but, whetever the powers of the divines, or
the statesmen, or the men of learning that crowd that
national shrine, none used their talents with greater
faithfulness or greater reverence than Charles Dickens.—
Times.

TENDER SKIN, OR SHAKY B AND P—A. Scotch
gentleman went into a barbar's shop to be shaved. He
soon perceived that the man was much the worse for
drink, as he had in fact cut the skin two or three
times during the operation. He desired to notice this in
as delicate a manner as possible, and suggested to the
operator, " I think, my friend, the hot weather has made
your hand unsteady." He very quietly replied, " Na,
sir, its nae that so muckle, as the heat has made your skin
some tender.
" GRAND DAY " AT THE MIDDLE TEMPLE.—Yes
terday was the Great Grand Day of Trinity Term, when,
in accordance with ancient usage, the Treasurer and
Masters of the Bench entertained her Majesty's Judges at
dinner in the fine old hall of the Middle Temple. There
was an unusually large attendance of benchers, barristers,
and students, and among the guests were his Serene
Highness the Prince of Tel, the Duke of Richmond, Lord
Carnarvon, the Bishop of London, the Master of the
Temple, Lord de Ros, Lord Harris, Lord de Tabley, the
Lord Chief Justice of England, the Lord Chief Justice of
Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron, Sir W. Erle, Mr.
Justice Smith, Baron Martin, Sze.
SUICIDE FROM LOVE.—A. night or two ago a lad
named Bird, in the employ of a confectioner at Spalding,
in Lincolnshire, was observed to leave his master's house
and go into an outbuilding. As he did not return his
mistress went in search of him, and found him suspended
from a beam quite dead. An inquest was held on Monday
evening, when it was stated in evidence that the boy, who
was only 17 years old, had told a fellow-servant that a
girl he had formerly courted had spoken, to him coldly and
had declined to walk with him or hold any communication
with him. He was of an excitable temperament, and it is
supposed that this led him to commit the rash act. A
verdict was returned in accordance with the facts.
" THE" PORTRAIT OF CHARLES DICKENS.--The
fmest, beyond any comparison, among all the life-like por-
traitures of the great man everybody is now lamenting,
is the masterly lithograph by. R. J. Lane, A.R.A., taken
from John Watkins' brilliant photograph. A few
copies only, we believe, have as yet been printed
from the stone manipulated by Mr. Lane, but the work,
admirable as a work of art, and simply priceless as a
likeness, ought without any further delay to be at once
published. Published at once it might command an almost
fabulous circulation. It is a noble and truthful present-
ment of a delightful face, and is a portraiture that will be
henceforth treasured up among the most beloved tares and
penates of our English homes.
