LITERARY CHIT-CIAT.

Mr.. 8. Barring GOULDs new work, "Legends 0c
Old Testament Saints" which will shortly be-
published by Macmillan Co., contains q number OF
legends about Old Testament characters which, In
various ways, have gathered round their names III
the East. Some Of them Mr.. Barring Gould declares
to be, In his opinion, genuine; among these Is q
legend OF Lamech and his wives and one about the
sacrifice Of Isaac the Of later tradition he
divides into (D Musselman; ~ Jewish; () Rab-
Dnic-that is. those which sprung from the mis-
takes OF the Rabbinic commentators who TOOK
pOetlcal imagery for literal statements. The whole
collection IL wonderfully fresh and new In INTEREST,"
and the perusal OF these legends, pronounce6
genuine by competent an authority as Mr.. Barring
Gould, must awaken strange feelings IN the mind at'
actually getting hcd Of new and trustworthy facts
about names familiar and vivdly present 10 it
since 1t has memory OF anything.
THE Catholic World for March viii contain q
remarkably able article reproving the conduct Of
certain papers which have been sedulously en-
poyed for some time past endeavorlng to light up
the fires OF religious fanaticism among the citzena
OF this republic. The advocates OF nativsm and
Know Nothingism have long since been condemned,
by the good and intelligence OF the American
people, and those who make appeal TO the WORST
passions Of a big0ted and narrow minded class
deserve the severest censure OF all righ' thinking
men. In approaching this irritating topic In q
has given the best possible answer to unrcasoning
big0try, ana offers the most striking contrast tn
those bowling Christians whose conduct contrasts
so strangely with their professions.
Mr.. GRANT IN his new book tells us that the Lon.
don Times ''was the first paper which charged for
Its marriage announcements. In the early days OF
that paper 1t was the custom In announcing O mar.
rage to state the amount OF the BRIDES dOwry.f
100000 or ESQ. O0O or whatever 1t might happen to
be- and In looking through the ladies' column Ona
morning at breakfast Mr.. Walter threw out the
suggestion that If q man married all this money ho
might certainly pay trining percentage upon 1t t0
the printer for acquaintng the world with the fact.
These marriage fees would form nice little pocKer
money for me- my dear, added Mrs. Walter, and a.
Joke her husband agreed to try the experiment.
The charge at first was but tribe, and the annual
amount probably not much. But Mrs. Waiter at her
death passed this prescriptive right OF hers to her
daughter, and when a few years ago the right was
sessed at GA, 900 to 5000 year."

Sey information, and moral truths and senti-
