SAMUEL JOHNSON.

T. r. Mason has edited for Harper Brothers
kaleidoscope sort of volume. which the editor
states his preface is designed give clearer view
of Dr. johnson than is to be found in Boswell. Says
the editor:-'The materials for highly interesting
and valuable study of Johnson might be gathered
without resorting to Boswell" Yet he has sand
wiched copious extracts from the remarkable ''life
by this writer between most of the quotations from
other authorities. The plan of tho work is not alto
gether good The editor has quoted from other writers
amply enough to show that an original book could
have been made of such material, and he has missed
his opportunity of giving distinctive originality to
his work by making it merely kind of Ola podrida
with a very familiar and antquated flavor OF the re-
nowned Boswell. The work useful purpose
however in giving to the casual reader eptome of
DR.. Johnsons life that nowhere else be found in
SO condensed and available form.
The store Of anecdotes recounted within the pages
of the book would furnish the editor of Ha'pers
Drawer with appropriate material for a long
time to come. Here is specimen:-''It was
the close of his life that two young
ladies. who were warm admirers of his
works. but had never seen himself. went to Bolt
Court and. asking if he at home, were shown up
stairs where he was writing. He laid down his pen
their entrance and, they stood before him. one
OF the females repeated speech of length. pre-
viously prepared for the occasion. 1t an enthu
siastic eusion. and. when the speaker had finished
she painted for her idols reply What was her NOR
tihcation when all he said was, "Fiddle-de dee. my
dear!'

well arranged index

BRITISH ACTORS AND ACTRESSES.

Dramatic List: A Record Of the Principal Perform

The plan is an admirable one. and as the criti-
cisms are mostly from journals of reputa-

makes them valuable. The list is pretty extensive
but it is to be regretted that the living dramatic
authors we're not included As it is. only such
also actors have place in the book. For instance,
while we have biographies of Dion Boucicault. H. j.
Byron and Henry I. Craven, there is no place given

the point. we suppose. at which Mr.. Pascoe
drew the line. Not, however. to say too much
of its omissions. the book will be Of interest to

District Attorney Murphy closed his
argument this forenoon in the case Of Mrs.
Cynthia Hodgdon, who is o. trial in the
Fourth District Court for the murder OF
Mrs. Emma Downes by malpractice. After
a recess Of the Court, Judge Morrison de-
livered his charge to the jury, occupying
twenty minutes, and at half-past Q O'Clock
the jury retired to deliberate upon a ver-
dict. The pith Of the charge was that per-
sons who administer drugs to a person in
the condition Mrs. Downes was, is guilty
OF felony, which is punishable by imprison-
ment in the State Prison for q term Of not
less than two or more than five years, and
il death ensues the crime is murder.
After an absence OF half an hour, the jury
returned q verdict OF murder in the second
degree, with q recommendation to the
mercy Of the Court.
The score in the walking match, at noon

DUBLIN, October IA.
Five hundred tenants of the Marquis OF
Sligo and the Earl Of Lucan met near the
west part Of the county OF Mayo to-day,
and solemnly pledged themselves to pay no
rent until a reduction should be granted
proportionate to the great fall Of prices Of
all kinds Of agricultural products. A no
tice was posted at Warren Point county
town, to the effect that any man coming
into the county to pay more than a pound
an acre for land may bring his coffin with
him.
LONDON, October IA.
The Daily News says II gold continues
to leave England and France as it has
lately, il will soon become necessary to con-
slider the possibility Of measures to stop
the outflow. 1t will be time for England
to consider what action to take when the
French authorities make a move by directly
or indirectly raising the premium on gold
to such a point that the whole burden Of
the United States demand is thrown on this
country.

THE loss by the Pittsburg riot OF 1877
falls at last upon Allegheny county, in
which that city is situated. The decision
Of the Supreme Court, that local authori-
ties are responsible for failure to maintain
order, imposes a burden of some 50, SOC, 900
upon the taxpayers Of the county, and ne
cessarily inficts a serious injury upon the
industries Of Pittsburg. The decision de-
clares that the riot was not an instruction
but q mere mob. and that ''the law will not
tolerate the spectacle of a great city look
ing ON with indifference, while property to
the value OF millions is being destroyed by
. mob" The lesson is very severe for Al
legheny county, but its influence must be
to stimulate the people Of every commu-
nifty in the Republic to use prompt means
to suppress any riotous outbreak which
may occur.

RAILWAY

A prominent journal Of San Francisco
says that the improved financial and bust
ness conditions Of the country, together
with the impulse given to settlement in the
Western States and Territories. have caused
= great revival Of enterprise in the con-
struction OF new lines Of railway and the
extension Of old lines. The year 1886 will
probably equal any preceding year in rail-
way building. The Northern Pacific hopes
to build 400 and possibly 600 miles. The
Texas Pacific expects to form q connection
with California in two or three years. The
Southern Pacific must advance its line
eastward, and the Union Pacific contem-
plates new lines to connect with Colorado,
New Mexico, the Northern Pacific, and
Puget Sound by way Of Umatilla. These
new lines OF railway, and still others in
contemplation, will afford remunerative
labor to q hundred thousand idle men, and
open the wilderness to the million for
homes and future production. The waters
Of the Pacific are now connected with the
Mississippi valley and the Atlantic States
by q single railway Of one track. 1t is
within the probabilities that before the
next President shall have completed his
term Of Office we shall have at least four
such railway connections, and possibly five

Mystery Of the Lakes.

An exchange calls attention to
what has long been a mystery re-
garding our great lakes. Lake
Erie is only 60 to 20 feet deep.
But Lake Ontario is 500 feet deep,
$50 feet below the tide level of the
ocean, or as low as most part of the
Gulf of st. Lawrence and the bottom
of Lakes Huron, Michigan and
Superior, although the surface is
much higher, are all from their
depths on a level with the bottom
of Ontario. Now, as the discharge
through the river Detroit, after al
lowing for the probable portion
carried off by evaporation, does
not appear by any means equal to
the quantity of water which the
three upper lakes receive, it has
been coniectured that subterranean
river may run from Lake Superior,
10y Huron to Lake Ontario. This
conjecture is not impossible, and
accounts for the singular fact that
salmon and herring are caught in
all the lakes communicating with
the st. Lawrence, but no others.
AS the Falls of Niagara must have
always existed, it would puz-
zle the naturalist to say how these
fish got into the upper lakes with
out some subterranean river more
over, any periodical obstruction of
the river would furnish a not i'm
probable solution of the mysterious
huX and reflux of the lakes.
