Tho Count Adonis Gurowski's wonderful
diary grows in popularity. Certainly no ono
can deny that, while otter ill-natured and pre-
| JUDGED, the Russian Adonis is sometimes r.
markably shrewd and sensible, and always in
teresting and amusing OF course Il may bs
said that it is very wrong Of Gurowski to 70
veal confidential secrets and report confidential
conversations and that he will be universally
cut and avoided. This is all very true; but Il
has nothing whatever to do with the interest a.
his book. 1t il . dreadful thing for man -
turn States evidence against his comrades, ana

schemes, intrigues and criminalities; but tAs
prosecuting attorney never stops to rebuke the
witness for his breaches Of confidence and pro-
priety, butsnses his testimony just as if IL hsA
been given by tho best bred and most honor
able man in the world. We do not object,
therefore. if the Counts book sells we'll. Our
only consideration about that part of the affair
is that Gurowski shall take portion of the
proceeds Of the sale of his diary and settle bis
little bill with Mr.. Cranston, at the New York
Hotel.
