IRvING's LoyE.-The touching story of
Washington Irving's love, which kept one
peculiarly fitted for home and family ties
unmarried all his life, has been sadly man
gled by a romanoing correspondent. Some
one first started the paragraph that "the
original of Sir Walter Scott's Rebecca in
the novel of Ivanhoe was Philadelphia
Jewess, whose picture Washington Irving
showed to Scott" This may or may not
have been true, but another person enlarged
on the text in the San Francisco Chron-
iclc, stating with great particularly that
this Jewess was one Rebecca Gratz, whom
Irving loved and would have married, only
that her parents would not consent to her
union with a Gentle; that both vowed to
live unwedded for each others sake, and
kept their VOW. The resemblance to Scott's
Jewish maiden for tho disinherited knight
is obvious. But Irvings early love was not
a Jewess; she was Matilda Hoffman,
daughter of the eminent lawyer Josiah
Ogden Hoffman, and sister of Charles Fenno
Hoffman and the second Josiah Ogden
Hoffman, who was also a noted lawyer.
And it was Mrs. Hoffman's death that
threw Irving into a deep depression of
spirits that made his friends fear for his
life, and left to him a lifelong, faithful
sorrow.

Envious Tongues.

The moment a man achieves brilliant
success there's always somebody at hand to
tell how poor, how obscure, how no "ac-
count he used to be, and to express won-
der and astonishment that he should ever
have amounted to anything" The fact
that he has proved himself success, seems
to make some of his acquaintances feel that
they have been robbed in a manner, and
that by so much as he had risen above them
in position or influence, by so much they
are dwarfed. Men who have CROPPED blind
" to find fitting place for the exercise OF
their talents find it, and with it come
natural appreciation, money, influence,
prosperity. Can their good fortune cause
anything but rejoicing in magnanimous
and noble mind2 There are very few men
of note before the American public who
have not fought their way through poverty,
obscurity, disaster and countless opposition
of adverse circumstance. Vanderbilt be-
gan as boatman in New York harbor;
Stewart was once a small retail merchant in
a Broadway basement; Thomas Scott was
at first fireman and coal HEAVIER; Ezra Cor
nell would have gone without his supper at
one time but for a shilling he picked up in
the street; Cyrus Field houndered in debt
and poverty to the lips during one por-
ton of his life; Elias Howe tried semi-star.
vation many long year while perfecting
the sewing machine; Anna Dickinson
scrubbed door-steps to pay to get her start
in life. In fact almost everybody, "that is
any body" has had to fight for his crown,
and when he gets it shouldn't everybody
rejoice with him? Doubtless there's many
and many diamond that is never polished
and set, but lies buried in mountain gulch-
es covered with mud many "mute inglo-
rious Milton" sleeps in quiet country
churchyards, but the world is flashing with
light from diamonds that are set, ringing
with melody from Millions that are not
mute. One thing is certain: the man or
the woman who is occupied in picking to
pieces the crown lawfully won by a success
full neighbor is not likely ever to wear one,
for the time thus spent is worse than vast
ed, and the disposition that can find plea
sure in employment so ignominious and
degrading can never find those aspirations,
labors and tolls congenial which bring de-
served reputation and honorand success.

Murder by wholesale ought certainly to
be rendered as odious as muder by retail.
The frequency of railway accidents caused
by malicious obstruction of railroad tracks
or displacement of rails has strengthened
the impression in the community that
crimes of such magnitude might be check
ed if the penalties were more severe. The
Buffalo Courier takes strong ground when it
says: "We believe the statue ought to be
amended by the substitution Of the death
penalty for a term of imprisonment, as now
provided, in all cases where a railway acci
dent caused by malicious tampering with
the track leads to loss of life. If hanging
is to be retained at all, it is none too good
for wretches guilty of SO frightful crime.
