snnerannuated Dawdlers,

A Saratoga correspondent writes :
''The old beaux at Saratoga are very
numerous at present. They come here
and dangle parasols and fans in return
for invitations to parties and Germans
during the winter. This is easier than
calling now and then, which gets to be
terrible bore with the old beaux, who
like their cigar and newspaper and home
comforts of m evening, and are not to
be coaxed out unless there is swell
affair with q wine supper to repay them.
So here they are dangling fans and
doing penance, and next winter they
will be invited again, because they were
$50 attentive at Saratoga The old
beaux are growing a bit heavy in figure,
and show few crows feet, but on the
whole get themselves up well, and, as
they are acknowledged society men,
the young ladies are satisfied to have
them at their heels, .sz-a-
"The old girls who are hawked about
from one wafering-place to another are
also well represented this season. These
young ladies are expert in casting
die-a-way glances, hanging bheir hands
fin-fashibn, and in all the gushing tricks
of r,aaiden-hood. They arc striving TO
make the most Of themselves with q
deadly effort, and are really very stylish
in their fine toilets, with escalloped
foreheads, hair parted on one side, and
bonnets pinned on captiyatingly. This
old stock have been waiting in the
market for rich husbands, and could
now be bought cheap.

voltaire,g Lawsuit.

A writer gives the following anecdote
of Voltaire When he bought of the
President de Brosses the chateau in
which he lived, it was found that in the
measurement of the land there was
comprised strip belonging to farmer
named John Panissot, who went to Vol
taire to claim his property. The latter
would have listened favorably to his
demand If he. had not been warned that,
right or wrong, many farmers surround
ing his new purchase were prepared to
bring a similar request. Desiring to
cat short what he believed to be a pre-
tence. Voltaire rejected the claim, and
was arraigned at the tribunal OF dex,
where, defended by q lawyer doubtless
better than his cause, he nonsuited the
the plaintiff, and was pronounced the
owner Of the disputed land.
But Panissot determined to appeal
from an unjust sentence. As he wanted
money for this purpose he conceived the
plan to apply to him against whom he
was conducting the suit; and accord
ingIy went to-. Voltaire's residence, and
asked an interview, which was accorded.
AN 1S IL youy anASpoU' "H"'
brings you here ?"
"My confidence in your uprightness
for come to beg you to lend me money
enough to prosecute my appeal to the
court Of Dion from the sentence pro
nounced at Gex. T" :,
"What, do you think that I shall
consent to furnish you with arms ito
fipht me. with rods to chastise me
tsYes, Monsieur Voltaire, a great
man like you, whose works are full OF
generous sentiments, will understand
nv confidence in him in this case"
"But, Panissot, you are attacking
my property. !" @
:" No, sir, I am reclainning my own.
You doubtless prefer Justice to small
bit Of land which adds nothing to youl
fortune, but which lessons my property
very much. ..
Voltatre, surprised at confidence
which honored him, as we'll as at the
firm language Of the farmer, acceded tC
his request, and lent him three hundred
francs, The case carried 10 the tribu'
nal OF Diien was lost by Voltaire, who
was obliged to grant to Panissot The
land claimed. When the latter camt
10 return the sum borrowed, VoltairC
said to him, Keep it, it will serve tc
pay the expenses Of the first trial a
Gex, which you uniustly lost. 4"

Superficial Criticism.

The Saturday Review has a sharp ar
| ticle ON a certain superficial type of crit
iCism that has become the stock-in-trade
of class of modern young. men-more
especially those who fondly believe
themselves to have strong aesthetic
sense, and to be capable of art-iudgment
of asort unknown to their fathers. Thgs
it says "Phe most irritating section of
the intellectual school consists, perhaps,
of those who are judges Of pictures, and
taking the technical terms of painting
and music, with neither of which arts
probably they have more than super
fetal acquaintance, mix them together
into a new and horrible iargon. Follow
ing the unpleasant fashion set them, it
must be allowed, by some to whom they
may rightly look up, they describe pic
lures as symphonies in green, harmOnles
in white, and 7IOttlEYTOS in all sorts of
colors. Their delight in this new meth
cd of expression leads them to carry it
further, it may be hoped, than its orig
inators intended. They will beg you to
admire the tremulous tones of an at
mosphere, the swell of foreground, or
the diapason Of scarlet in q sunset.
They discourse Iearnedly of ascending
and descending scales of color, of melo-
dious passages running through the
middle distance, of the phrasing of q
picture, and of the key In which it is
set. When they wish to praise painter,
they say that he has fine eye for har-
mony. It has not yet, we believe, come
to pass that those who more particularly
affect musical knowledge speak of a COM
poser's possessing q fine ear for color.
It would be no more ridiculous, how
ever, to hear of the middle distance and
n1orbidezG of o quartet than OF those
things which we have mentioned above,
and of others like them. The extraOr-
dinary fuency and extraordinary unln-
telligiblity of these philosophers dis
QUESTIONS remind one of the nonsense
rhyme concerning the old man who
walked by the Trent, and talked to
himself as he went but so loud and SO
much, and moreover in Dutch, that no
one could tell what be meant. After
listening to them for some time one Is
inclined TO doubt whether the universal
spread of art, or rather of superficial
acquaintance with art, is an unmixed
blessing. They are so well contented
with themselves, so Thoroughly convinced
that the words which they speak are the
words Of wisdom, that there seems no
hope of their ever straying from the
paths which they have made peculiarly
their own. shop of all kinds is apt to
be tiresome even when talked by those
who are we'll versed in their subject;
when talked by those who are not 50
we'll versed, its weariness assumes gi-
gantic proportions. 1t is an old and
true saying that little knowledge is q
dangerous thing. Certainly little
knowledge in the matter of art is dan
