Walter Savage LandOr,

ltwas at breakfast in keny yORs house
that l first met Walter Savage Landor.
AS l entered the room with Proc.er,
Landor W as in the midst OF an eloquent
narangue on the high art of portraIture.
Proctor had been lately sitting to a
daguerreotypist for a picture, and Mrs.
Jameson, who was very fond OF the poet,
mad arranged the camera for that occa-
sion. Landor was holding the picture in
mis- hand, declaring that. it had never
been surpassed as a specimen of tnat
particular art.
The grand-looling author of "Pericles
and Aspasia" was standing in. the mid
die OF the room when we entered, and
his voice sounded Like an exp osion OF
Ififst-class artillery. Seeing Proctor en-
Ter, he Immediately began to address
him in high-sounding Latin compliments.
Poor modest Proctor pretended TO stop
his ears that he might not listen to Lam
doris eulogistic phrases. Kenyon came
to the rescue by declaring the breakfast
had been waiting half an hour. When
we arrived at the table Landor asked
Proctor to join him on an expedition into
Spain which he was then contemplating
NO." said Proter, "for | can not even
walk Spanish and having never crossed
the Channel. l do not intend to begin
now."
"Never crossed the Channelw roared
Landor-"neyer saw Napoleon Bona
parteW He then began to tell us how
the young Corsican looked when he first
saw him, saying that he had the olive
complexion and roundness of face of
Greek girl; that the consul's voice was
deep and melodious, but untruthiul in
tone. While we were eating breakfast
he went on to describe his Italian trav-
els in early youth, telling us tnat he
once saw Shelley and Byron meet in the
doorway of a hotel in Paris.
Landor had lived in Italy many years,
for he detested the climate OF his native
| country, and used to say zone could
only live comfortably in England who
was rich enough to have q solar system
OF his own" n Proctor told me
that when Landor got into passion his
rage was sometimes uncomfortable
The fiery spirit knew his weakness, but
his anger quite oveTmastered him in
spite of himself. ."Keep your temper
Landor," somebody said to him one day
when he was raging. '"fhat is just what
don't wish to keep" be cried ;."I wish
70 be rid OF such an Infamous, ungovern-
able thing. ! don't wish to Keep my
temper"
Whoever wishes to get good look at
Landor will not seek for it alone in John
Fosters interesting Lille of the old man,
admirable as it is, but will turn to Dick
ens's Bleak House for side-glances at
The great author. In that vivid story
Dickens has made his friend Landor sit
tor the portrait of Lawrence Boythorn.
The very laugh that made the whole
house vibrate, the roundness and f1llness
of voice, the fury OF superlatives, are all
given in Dickens's best manner, and no
one who has ever seen Landor for hall
an hour could possibly mistake Boythorn
for any body else. Talking the matter
over once with Dickens, he said, elan
dor always took that presentation OF
himself in hearty and good humor, and
seemed rather proud of the picture."-

COOLEY has had some trouble with
one of his hens. She wanted to set,
and he didn't want her to. He put L.r
in barrel, ducked her ut the pump,
threw her in tho air and reasoned with
her, but she would persist in going
back to the nest Finally he put hot
porcelain egg under her; but she
skipped about until it cooled, and then
she returned and sat on the egg With
the air of having resolutely deter
mined to hatch II set of crockery aud
a couple OF flower pots out of the por.
celain delnsion. Then Cooley resolved
to blow her off: He placed half a
pound of gunpowder under the nest,
and land slow match ont iuto tue
yard. AS soon as he saw the hen seat
ed, he went into the kitchen to get
light. Meanwhile, Mrs. Cooley went
aud to ascertoin If that idiotic chicken
was setting yet. Then Cooley came
out aud fired the train. In compile Of
minutes there was an awful explosion.
A second later Mrs. Cooley emerged
precipItately from the door With her
mouth full OF feathers, her hair full of
blazing straw aud warm blood, aud un
assortment of drumsticks, gizzurds
aud claws distributed around over her
dress. Then she made a deh at

IMMIGRATION BUREAU.

Under the provisions OF the bill INTRO
.duced by Senator Ross, and now before
the Legislature, to establish bureau
of Immigration, the State CohtrollSr,
SUPERINTENDENT and State Mineralo-
gist are constituted body polite I'M
de- the name and style of The State
Board of Immigration, and they shall
hold Office and perform all the duties
required of them us members OF such
Board, without compensation. The
members Of the Board are authorized
to elect Secretary, whose salary shall

other statistics as shall gi,esan impair
tial view of every part OF the State.

respond with local agents who may
volunteer their services, and with such
other persons as may desire intorma-
ton, and shall facilitate the ingress OF
Immigration by obtaining, if in his
power, low rates of tariff IN trausporta-
ton of passengers and freights.
The necessity of an Act OF this sort
is made strikingiy apparent by the re-
port of the Surveyor-General of the
State. That officer, whose informa-
ton is derived from the most reliable
sources, estimates the area of land fit
for cultivation within the State at
l, sos. 900 acres, of which ~ 500 acres
were under cultivation III 1874. There
are also. according to the Same author
ity, Il ,604.772 acres of grazing lands,
1,5U2, 100 acres ut lMber lands and
1913, 20U acres OF mineral lands within
the boundaries OF the State, whose en-
tire population does not eAceed 6U, UUO.

We are in receipt of a printed copy
of the Report of the Superintendent OF
Public distraction for the years 1873
and 1874. In presenting the statistics
of these years the Superintendent calls
attention to the evidence they furnish
of the bealthful condition of educa-
tional affairs in the State, and the no.
table improvement in our educational
system. The Permanent School Fund
has been increased from $l04, 600 to
$3.50 600. There has been distributed
among the counties dnring the last year
from the General School Fund s.. 900
more than in 1872. More than $50, 600
has been expended in the erection aud
enlargement of school-housts. Thn-
teen new districts have been formed
and thirty-nine additional teachers EN-
ployed. The number of graded schools
has been increased. The schooi popn-
lation is larger by over 1900. The
Compulsory School law has not been
enforced i'll any instance. Owing to
neglect of the subject by some officials
and Misunderstanding IF it by others,
the Superintendent has not been able
TO obtain entirely satisfactory returns
bealing upon the question of attend
ance, though enough has been ascer-
tanned to satisfy him that Cases OF IN
excusable neglect of public school priv
iltges have notably diminished. Of
the 6,3O5 children returned by the
school census for the last year, ., 3o2
are reported as enrolled i'll public or
private schools. The amount distrib-
uted among the several counties and
the number of children between six
and eighteen years OF age Ill eooii

colleague This is the story: Twenty-eight years
ago Mad1le Naomi, the young daughter Oh radi-
ant beauty allowed herself to be beguiled by the
romantic eloauence of an unfrocked priest. who was
called the Poet Constant, and who had been the
Able Constant Mile. Naomi insisted upon mar
rage in due form, and the Abbs. who loved her
much more than he did the Roman Cathonc Apos-
tolic Church. made objection TO visiting win her

not think that his marriage put an end to his apos

formed by the first syllables Of the two Latin words
Mater and Patcr. This Mapa was god by profess
sion. whom knew very well in my youth think

that woman should take precedence of man. In
vain assured him that this had been done for ages;
he continued to preach. 1t was at the house OF the
divine Mapa that | became acquainted with the
Able Constant and his young wife She had 50
keen sentiment of art and poetry that she took
to writing and to sculpture readily as II she had
learned them in another existence. She became cee-
brated at the exhibitions and in the journals under
the name Of Claude VignOn. Nnen she learned that
the Poet Constant was none other than the ADbe
Constant she separated from him with horror
though perhaps she would havo left him anyhow.
She appealed to the courts to have her marriage
annulled. 1t was a great scandal and law suit. The
marriage was declared invalid, and the lady built
for herself O very pretty house and studio in the
Rue de la Tour at the gate of the Bots dc Boulogne
