SOMETHING WRoNa.-We notice a
discrepancy In the assessment and valuation Of
our house and lot that We cannot understand.
The 0versesrs Of the Poor put our property down
at s2,l25. The Collector Of County tax furnishes
us with n card containing the same agsrss,
(s2,l25) but the Collector Of School tax drops
his memento, aud he has 1t s2,3o5, thus raS-
ing our valuation s2iO. Now, II the School
Board has bled all our neighbors in the same
way, 1t is probably right as matter Of equity,
but outside Of that there 10 no law for any such
work. There is something wrong somewhere.
We have not been charged with enough County
and Poor tax, or slso We are overcharged for
School. This Ia question for thc taxing au-
thoriiics too look after. If We are to have s24o
jumped on our valuation for school purposes, We
want our neighbor to be treated the same way.

Victoria at Baim0ral.

One naturally can not help making in
quiries about the Queen when staying
in the neghborhood. 1t is a neighbor-
hood in which she goes about in a more
free and spontaneous way than anywhere
else. She could hardly y 60 about at
Windsor and Osborne as she does at Bal
moral. The Queen is always dressed in
a very plain and quiet fashion, which is
itself rebuke to the extravagant ''dress-
iness" of the present day. She will en-
ter very humble shops in order to make
very small purchases. These purchases
are mainly intended as gifts to the poor,
chiefly the poor in her own service. She
selects the articles, but never asks the
price.
The prices charged are exactly the
same as to anyone else. Besides this, the
Queen regularly visits the houses of the
cottagers. Some touching instances OF
this are given in the "Highland Jour.
nal" "Really," she naively remarks
"the affection of these good people, who
are so very hearty and so happy to see
you, taking interest in everything, is SC
very touching and interesting" heard
a very pleasing anecdote of the Queer
one day on the coach-top as | went from
Braemer to Blairgowrie. We passed a
house which had belonged to deceased
general officer, a Baronet, who had seer
good service in the Napoleonic wars. He
had builta house, an exact representa-
tion of Longwood, where Napoleon died
On mound close by the gate he had
erected stand, where waved flags com
memorative Of all the different battles il
which he had been engaged, and in the
centre the flag of Waterloo. The Queer
passed by, and amid all the details of hel
triumphant progress she omitted to no
tice this peculiar array of flags The ole
General was sorely hurt by this omission
and bemoaned it greatly. He, however
had friends at court, and one of then
ventured to speak to Her Majesty on the
subject. The Queen, in the mos
prompt and gracious way, was anxious
to crafty the old soldier and relieve hi
mind. When she was next about to pas
that road she caused an intimation to bC
given to him that the flags should be dis
played as before, and that then he shoulC
fall into her cavalcade and ride before
her as one of her body-guard to Balmoral

ten. Charles Kean actually went 50 far
as to request the Lord Chamberlain to
interdict the intended performances, and
before long cabal was formed to pre-
vent this and further attempts on the
part of foreigners to interfere with native
talent. The scene which followed the re-
opening of the theater can hardly be
described.
The audience seemed beside themselves
with rage; they hurled missiles on the
stage before the curtain rose, and the
players were relentlessly Missed. "The
row." said the Times, "was stupid row,
showing not only the illiberality of the
rioters, but their paucity of invention.
In the old 0. P. times there was some
humor. Agood jokenow and then found
its way into the uproar; but this was a
long, dull, dismal display of nationality
which was effective from the mere fact
that it was wearisome. Two or three in
dividuals in the pit thought it the height
of humor to put up their umbrellas, but
the police deemed it still better joke to
conduct these persons out of the house,
which proceeding prevented a repetition
of the pleasantly. Never did we see a
number of persons so busy in attempting
to degrade themselves in the eyes of all
rational beings.
ave have reason to think that some OF
these zealots, worthy of better exploit:
than those of last night, were really per
sons OF standing and respectability in the
histrionic profession; and these, we are
sure, when they rise this morning, viii
look with regret on the stupid scene o.
yesterday, and take especial care not tt
let their friends know they were con
cerned in such ar exhibition" Th'
players on their side, would not bow tt
the storm. al current la constance" say
NJ. Hostein in his ''Historettes ct Sou
venirs DUN Homme de Theater, "de reel
ter leurs roles sans on omettre une phrase
au milieu de vociferations, de cris DAM
maux ct d'injures." In few hours, how
ever, they were on their way back t
Paris, probably pitying us from the bot
tom Of their hearts.

The Torionia Museum.
tBlackwood.l

In this Lungara Torlonia Museum is a
great treasure of erudition as well as art,
which has been collected with tranquil
silence, critical care, and patient study
during the course of at least thirty years.
Year after year the Prince has sum-
moned about him remarkable men,
among whom Baron Visconti, nephew of
the great Ennio Quirino Visconti, whose
memory is closely associated with the
fine sculpture galleries of Rome and
Paris, has been the most intimate conf
dant of his projects, acquisitions, and de.
cisons. Each new statue, bust, or bas-
relief has been examined with the most
scrupulous and critical eyes; also COM
pared with ancient medals and coins,
and passages from ancient and modern
writer's.
OF these important meetings careful
journals of proceedings have been con-
stantly made. Thus valuable asthet-
ical and artistic unpublished literature
has collected about those Lungara Halls
When statue was found in fragments,
it was carefully put together. An ac-
complished sculptor, an expert in his
art, Prof. Guaccarini, has devoted his
entire professional life to the work of the
museum, aided by the councils of the
Prince and his learned assistants. One
of the most remarkable groups of the
collection - Hercules and Telephus-
when found at Porto, was in almost un-
recognizable little fragments. Baron
Visconti, who was present at the excava-
vation, and who knew the history of that
suburb of Ostia, recognized the bits as
belonging to valuable work of art.
Others thought not; but the workmen
were obliged by an imperious command
of the Baron to gather the small pieces
carefully together and put them in a
large basket which the persistent arche-
ologist took away with him in his own
carriage. Two weeks after, these frag-
ments were sufficiently united to prove
the truth of Viscontis assertion; his we'll
practiced artistic eyes were not likely to
be at fault. Through Baron Visconti's
patience and Guaccarini's skill the group
was afterwards restored to its present
complete state, and offers to us speci-
men of antique art most curious in form
and development, and which in justice
ought to be known to the future visitors
to the museum as the Ecole Visconti.

The Saga.

lCOfllllu Magazine.
There are two heroic periods in the
antique life of Iceland--the one eminent
for its action, the other for its intellect.
During the tenth century those magnif-
cent deeds were performed for which the
thirteenth century found no less mag
nificent expression in literature; the
first without the second would have been
forgotten, the second without the first
would have had no value or significance.
Hence it follows that we expect the no.
blest Icelandic writing to be that in
which poet of about 1880 relates the
adventures of viking of about $50; nor
are we disappointed.
According to the most exact scholar
ship, the finest works of an imaginative
kind were produced between 1920 and
1860, the sagas long floating piecemeal
in tradition receiving then, from hands
unknown to us, that artistic and epic
form in which they have come down to
us, as one of the wonders of the literary
world. Of the whole body of Icelandic
literature, if we set aside the mythical
sagas and the historical writings of
Snorri and Sturla, the absolute flower
and glory consist in four great sagas, each
dealing with the personal history of no.
BILE family, and each exhibiting in its
purest form life in the Icelandic Com
monwealth before the introduction OF
Christianity.
The longest of these is "Njala, the
Story of Burnt Njal," translated, in a
version that has become classical by Sir
George Dasent. The other three are un-
known to English readers; they are the
Laxdala Saga" the "Egils Saga" and
the "Erbryggia Saga" From the 'Lax-
dala" Mr.. Morris has borrowed the plot
of one of the noblest poems of our day,
the "Lovers of Gudrun," but the other
two remain absolutely uninterrupted,
and thus some of the finest literature in
the world remains to us a sealed letter.
The best Icelandic sagas come closer to
the lofty ideal of the Homeric epic than
any other production, except, perhaps,
the "Chanson de Rowland"
1t is a great error to suppose that their
chronicle character deprives them of any
artistic shapelessness, or that the Incl
dents related in them are loosely set
down. The work is built upon recog-
nized plan with the most stately art.
The hero is introduced after a full ac-
count of his ancestors, and of the events
which colored the fate of his family. He
arrives on the scene at the critical mo-
ment, when that fate has to be wound
up to a crisis; that crisis is the story of
his life-is, in other words, his saga. In
the hand of master his figure never
passes out of our sight, and in any one of
the great sagas we detect at once the
presence of a spurious chapter by its in
artistic irrelevance.
