In England the conqueror has just taken Robsft B.
Hrough well known humorous journalist and writer Il
burlesoues lie had been i'll for some months, and Las
fallen a, the early age Of thrtytwo lie will be best
known by his "fife humorous and buriesque) OF Sir
John Falstan-'-a work that was illustrated by Cruk-
shank god Kind heart beat in the breast OF Brough,
and many sincere mourners will lament his early death
He leaves widow and three children. Would it not be
graceful act for theatrical manager or combina
ton OF several at New Yor, where Of his plays
nust be known to have real theatrical benefit There
is 10 be one here at so ne L9ndoa theatre, probably the
Olympic.
II real v seems that very large proportion of our
Journalists aud Of letters here in Loadon are taken
oil IN their carly prime. Philip Doyle, well knowa
writer aad editor Of the Weekly TINES, died about two
weeks ago Duriag the twelve months there have died
Aber, smith Percy st. john Philip Doyle aud Robert
B,ough None of them over forty two or forty
three and several much younger. Angus B Reach was
another who persisted in his early manhood The fact IS
here IN london young gifted and popular journalists work
too hard, being almost necessarily men OF expensive
habits and they very many III them rather last 10
their way of living. Brouge however was temperate
man. ana 10 was Albert smith The others namei dd
not know. better hearted set OF fellows thin me
Trough was a choice, good spirit Al benefit at thea
tire for B,oughs family probably the "st9ations cos
tunes Sc as exhibited BY the nimtabe CruikshluS in
the ellie OF Falstaf" viii hold prominent place.

non oath that his father, the Duke OF Leeds,
only allowed him income Of fl2 (t9eye pounds
