CHARLES LAMB was once invited by an old
friend TO meet an author who had just publish.
ed a volume Of poems. His host asked him to
look over the volume Of the expected visitor.
A few minutes convinced him that it possessed
very little merit, being a feeble echo Of differ.
snt authors. The opinion was fully confirmed
by the appearance Of the gentleman himself,
whose self %conceit, and confidence in his own
book, were 80 manifest, as TO awaken in Lamb
that spirit Of mischievous waggery so charac'

tenacious memory enabled him during lha
dinner to quote hlently several passages from

then, TO The astonishment of the gen leman In

GOETHE, like many other celebrated men,
was somewhat annoyed by the visits Of stran.
gers. A student once called at his house and
requested to see him. Goethe. contrary 20
his usual custom, consented 10 be seen and
aftSr the student had waited a short time IN
the anteohamber, he appeared, and without
speaking, took . chair, and seated himself In
the middle Of HE room. The student, far
from being embarrassed by this unexpected
proceeding. took a Lighted wax candle in his
hand, and walking round the poet, deliberately
viewed him on all sides then setting down
the candle, he drew out his purse, and taking
from i; a small piece Of silver, put it on the
table, and went away without speaking a word.

From The T'imss.)

Mr.. Darwin's " missing link seems ct

OF New Guinea. According to the Sydney

present Government of Germany that it
gave way as to. the prosecution of officials,
The judge being empowered in future TO
decide ii such prosecution shall be allowed,
and about the right Of individuals TO pur-
sue an accused, but absolutely refused to
give way about the Press. The quarrel
was compromised upon this basis, but the
journals are very angry with the MOder-
ates, who. they think, gave way too
soon.
It seems that the last School Board OF
London asked the various provincial
Boards to join them in requesting the
Government 10 appoint o Royal Commits
sion for the purpose Of reforming and
simplifying the present methods of Eng
lish speIling,-an original and marvellous
proposal, on which we havA commented
sufficiently elsewhere. But the apology
for that proposal put forth by the Rev. j.
p. Goodman, I" President of the East Mid
land Schoolmasters' and Schoolmistresses'
Association" reduces to 30 very small q
matter the " reform and simplifcation"
demanded, that the only wonder left is
why they asked for so inappropriate a
remedy. The grievance, it seems, is this
that there are near 5000 words in the
English language which different authori-
ties spell differently, like 'hoDor' and
honour Wagon and wagon 'pedIar'
and 'pedler ;" and while some of Her
Aejesty's Inspectors count it a mistake to
spell these words in one of the two ways,
others count it a mistake to spell them in
the other way. Well, the remedy for
that is not a Royal Commission, but an
article in the Times criticising the pedan-
try of such dogmatic Inspectors, and q
Minute by the Vice.President of the COun-
Gil against subordinates who count 1t q
mistake to follow a respectable precedent.
As for the real choice between the right
and wrong spelling in doubtful cases, that
10 a question to which there is not always
IN answer, a question partly Of usage,
partly for philologists, and not to be set
tied in hurry by Royal Commissioners,
or any one else. There 10 no 'heroic reme-
dy' possible for the difference of taste
which induces one person to double the p
in w~orshipping and another to leave the
letter single. DR.. Johnson said about the
equally important question of the policy

0r. Cross, the. Home Secretary. made q
speech at Liverpool, in delivering the
prizes to The boys OF the Liverpool College

Asging it,-thst what 10 learned should be

ded, however, what we read with some

sountTy are, a. a rule, infinitely better
educated than those of Germany y and he
explained that what he means by 'educat-

we. did not know that Mr.. Cross was so
well acquainted with German boys and
