DEATH OF DOUGLAS JERROLD.-The
sudden death of Douglas Jerrold, which
has just been announced, can but call
forth many expressions of sorrow and
regret from multitudes who have been
accustomed to read his wit and satire for
many years with the keenest relish
His reputation as humorist and mas
ter of satire and ridicule was universal
throughout this country, and he will be,
what few writers are, missed. His death
occurred on the 9Th ult. He was born
on the Sd of January, 1903, and was
consequently in his 55th year. His ear
ly life and subsequent career are thus
spoken of by the N. Y. Tribune:
At an early age young Douglas was
smitten with passion for going to sea,
and, through the influence of Captain
Austen, brother of the celebrated nov
elist, obtained berth as midshipman in
the British Navy. He soon tired of the
service, however, and returning to the
in glorious life of landsman, was ap-
prenticed to printer in London. While
employed in this occupation he became
imbued with an ardent love of literature,
and devoted every moment of leisure
that he could obtain to the devouriug of
books. Pursuing regular course of
self-instruction, he acquired knowledge
of several languages, but gave his best
hours and deepest enthusiasm to the
study of Shakespeare. While working
as a compositor in the Office Of London
newspaper, he first tried his hand at lit
erary labor, and gained great admira-
ton by several articles which he had
secretly contributed to its columns. His
first attempt was criticism on the opera
of "Der Freischutz," which so pleased
the editor that the anonymous writer
was requested to favor the journal with
other articles from his brilliant and eff
fective pen. Soon after, while still I'M
der the age of twenty-one, he wrote the
popular drama of "Black-Eyed Susan"
which is said to have been so successful
that it postponed the ruin Of Drury-lane
Theatre for whole season. The Rent
Day" met with a no less triumphant re-
ception, and fixed the vocation of the
author as dramatic writer. From this
time his productions are numerous; they
are, perhaps without exception, tho
roughly English in their character, in
culcating wholesome vein of sentiment
and sparkling with true wit. Douglas
Jerrold was leading contributor to
Punch" from the first establishment of
that humorous journal. His papers are
strongly marked by their keen observa-
ton, mordant satire, and singing invec-
tive. In 1916 he commenced the publ
cation of weekly newspaper bearing
his own name, which he afterwards sold,
and for several years past has been the
editor Of the largely circulated "Lloyd's
Weekly"

"THe Sercn ISages Of Greece."-Per-
lander wrote circular letters to all the
other Sages, inviting them to spend
some time at his court. They COM
piled; and we have an interesting ac-
count of an entertainment at which they
were all present. 1t was frugal, though
sufficient; for such simplicity suited the
taste of the guests, better than prodigal
magnifcence. The conversation was
very varied now grave, now gay
Fernandez proposed the question:
(Which is the most perfect popular
government"
All the six gave different answers.
IHales-"That where the inhabitants
are neither too rich nor too poor"
Solon-"That, where an injury to any
private citizen is considered as an inju-
ry to the whole state
PittacuS-"That, where dignities are
always conferred upon the virtuous, and
never upon the vicious"
Bias-"That, where the law has no
superior"
Chilo-"That, where the laws have
more authority than orators or dema-
gogues."
Cleo6u2uS-"That, where the citizens
fe ar blame more than punishment;
From all these Fernandez concluded
that the best form of government was a
modified aristocracy, i'll which the power
is lodged in the hands of a few men OF
probity and virture.

with his rifle in his hand and the smoke

sued:
