EDMUND BURKE.

Mr., Morley remarks Of Edmund Burke:--
We hear him IN conversation at the Club,
with Joh aeon and Goldsmith, and Reynolds aud
Windham, winding into this subject IKE SER
pent, as Goldsmith sad of him; bidding some
too grave and anxious gentleWan to live
pleasant" fascinaing the great hearted John
son with "his knowledge, his genius, his dttu-
sive af1ueuce VI conversation" ana making him
cry; "Sir, that eow calls forth all my pow
ers" We see him IN the House OF Commons,
In bis tight brown coat, with his spectaces and
o little bob wig with ;urls, beginning his ora
ton with folded arms, and an ayr of hu-
mility, and gradually rising TO thunderous
deDuncistions of the noble lord in the
blue ribbon; or later on, OF those vain, petuant
upstaIts in neghborlng country, who were
wickedly prescribing the sacred ministers of
religion, prosecuting their vlrtuous and tnno-
cent sovereign, ana covering with humiliation
the august daughter of the Caesars We may
follow him from the heat aud violence of the
House, where drunken lordhngs and squire1
derIded the greatest man of their time, down to
the calm shades OF Beacons6eld, where he would
with bis own hands give TODD TO a starving beg
gar, or medicine to a peasant sick of the ague;
where he would talk OF the weather, the turnips,
and the hay, with the team men aud the farms
bailiffs: and where, In the evening stiffness,
he would pace the walk under the trees and re-
fleet on he state of Europe and the distractions
of lis country. While Fox was squandering
tens of thousands at the gaming table, we may
watch BurKe supporting Barry for several Years
al Rome; aDyiously pressing his lat halt guinea
upon The friendess Emin; rescu,ng Crabbe,
though perfect stranger to him, from a debt
o1's prison, and maintaining hlm in his own
house until provision was found tor him; and
on every occasion ready to extend not only SYM
Iathy, but share OF his slender purse,
wherever he found peuuiess genius or worth.
And, finally, we may look with tragic emotions
on the pathos of tnat Gro wing scene which left
The remnant of the nobleman's days so desoate
V6l1.

Foreign Notes.

The Widow Of John Leech, the artist, died
recently, and the pension paid her on account
of her husbands services to art has been con-
tinued to his children.
The Nikolaief Courier announces that the
harbor of Sebastopol will probably be COM
pletely free from obstruction by the end of
next year. On the Sth of May the hull of the
Sviatoslav was raised from the bottom, and
the remains of the other submerged vessels, the
Czesm, the Maria, and the Rotislav, will, it is
expected, be recovered in the course of the
summer. As several of these vessels are sunk
at great depths, the Courier believes the har-
Dor will be opened for navigation some months
before the final diving operations are COM
pleted.
The intended sale of the Chateau LATTE
vineyards has set people gossipping on wine,
and the following facts are related in contra
diction of the proverb that wine improves by
keeping. NJ. d. st. Armand states that he was
on visit in 1884 to the Chateau Laftte
when claret OF 1898, vintage held in high re-
pute during the Directory, and which was
drank as late as 1880, was put on the table,
Its flavor was almost gone, and the wine was
pronounced worthless. A specimen of the
famous comet year, 1911, was declared to be de-
generated, but still was drinkable. The wine
par excellence which was pronounced perfect,
was some of 1919, which had been ten years
in wood and five years in bottle; therefore in
1884 it was fifteen years old. This, it appears,
is the precise age at which superior claret
should be drank.
Letters which have reached Paris from
Munich contain brilliant accounts of the great
musical solemnity of the year, namely the
first representation of Wagner's "Maitre Chan
teurs de Nuremberg" The orchestra was
under the direction of Won Bulow, son-in-law
of List, the latter great master being one of
Richard Wagner's earliest friends. The artists
were all Germans, belonging to the opera
houses of Berlin, Vienna, Augsburg and Darn
stadt. The King, who occupied the royal
box, sat on the right of Wagner, who is
a man fifty, five years of age and who was
remarkably Indifferent to the applause of
the multitude; but so continued and enthusi-
astic were the calls for the author, that Richard
Wagner was compelled to appear in front of
the box and receive the ovation of the audi
ence. The King is described as an extremely
handsome young man, who, in spite of the
example of his grandfather, leads very quiet
life, and is as you are aware, entirely alb
sorbed by art, but by no means given to the
society of its feminine interpreters. 1t would
appear that some OF the scenes of the new
opera are comieal in the extreme, and the
music itself is strangely imbued with the viS
comica and excited the hilarity of the grave
German audience.
