BILE that if Mr.. Black were personally

would say that his habitual mood is one

university Magazine.1


Mr.. Black is very rapid writer. There
are fabulous stories told of the amount of
Underwriting which, he could accomplish
in his days of journalistic work. In
writing novels he seems to sit down with
all his matter in his head and only the
actual work of the penmanship to do, SO
that he can write straight on. He will
take perhaps week of what ignorant
mortals might consider idleness, and then
in day or two write out all that has
accumulated in his mind. Thus, although
he seems to keep his brain perpetually
employed either in observation or in
struction, his hours Of actual physical
work are not really very many.
He seldom works two days running
even in the thick of novel, as the strair
of this continuous work is too great, al
though occasionally this rule is broker
by some few days OF consecutive writing
Mr.. Black seems, altogether, to have :
very fluent and easily commanded power
of production, but even he can not al
ways write. Sometimes he will shut him
self up or leave home for few days, il
order to get through spell of work. Mr.
Blacks earlier novels were written wheI
he accomplished an amount of journal
istc work which must have made 1t nj
light labor to produce bright ronances q

The Fame OF Tn aCkeray.

Thackeray is the only novelist of his
time, it may be safely said, whose popu-
larity is increasing. While his rivals are
suffering from the reaction that always
follows success, he has been steadily gain
ing ground. His mood is critical enough
to suit the taste of the time, and not
critical enough to injure his novels as
works of art, for it is obvious that, with
all his hatred Of shams, Thackeray's
scorn of conventions did not 60 deep. In
spite of his professions, he was contented
to accept very conventional code of
morality, and he turned away with indif-
ference from many questions which aman
thirty years his junior could not let pass
so easily. At bottom he showed the op-
timism OF the Waterloo warriors whose
weaknesses he knew 80 well how to ex-
pose, and had he not done so he would
have been far less delightful writer than
he is. 1t is this mixture of half-hearted
pessimism and real optimism that makes
Thackeray so popular at present. He was,
too, the earliest prophet of the Queen
Anne's men, and Of that reaction in
favor of the eighteenth century that is
! now so powerful, and secures for "Es-
mon1" preference to which we ven
ture to think it is not entitled. Admit
ting that Jhackeray bestowed more Ia
Dor on "Esmond," and showed more ar
tistic conscience in it than in any of his
other books, we can not allow that, ad.
mirable as it is as a piece Of restoration"
it has the vitality Of "Vanity Fair" and
"The Newcomes." 1t is painter of his
own times-a painter who had no rival
in his own day-that Thackeray will be
remembered, and time will make of these
wonderful novels true historical ro'
mances. They will live as vivid pictures
of English society in the first half Of the
nineteenth century.

THE FLORIDA SHIP CANAL.

The Governor of Florida is authority
for the statement published in the
Southern newspapers that the Legisla-
ture of that Stats will be shortly called
together in executive session to grant
charter to the corporators of a company
that proposes to build canal across the
Florida Peninsula, from the Gulf of
Mexico to the st. Johns River at jack
sonville, and thence connecting with the
Atlantic Ocean at Fernandina. Gen
eral Lloyd, of Aspinwall, and
Governor Drew, of florida, state
publicly that the parties who stand
ready to take hold of the matter have
ample means guaranteed for the prosecu-
tion of the enterprise to a prompt COM
pletion, some minor details only now re-
naming to be arranged before the official
call for the assembling of the Legislature
is promulgated The scheme likely to be
carried out is ship canal twenty-five
feet deep through which vessels of not
exceeding that draught can be foated
from the Gulf to the Ocean, thus greatly
shortening the distance from New Orleans
to New York and other northern and
European ports, but likewise vastly less
ening the dangers of the passage around
the treacherous Florida Keys. There ap'
pears to be, however, parties in both
Florida and New Orleans who advocate
shallower canal, suited to barges only
and advise the construction of such 6
work to extend from the Mississippi
River, at or near New Orleans, along tn,
edge of the Gulf of Mexico and across
the northern end of the Florida penin
sula to the Atlantic. This scheme find
some stalwart adherents in Florida, ant
will be stoutly advocated in the Legisla
ture. Governor Drew, however, with {
strong following, is warmly in favor of
ship canal in preference, and the surfac
indications now are that the latter will
receive the approval Of the State ant
steps Immediately undertaken for worl
being commenced in earnest.

On tho Education of Princes.
TSpectatOr1

Great attention is now being paid all
over the Continent to the education of
Princes. 1t is felt everywhere that Kings
are no longer reverenced simply for being,
and that they must possess if not great
qualities-which, unfortunately for mon
archy, can not be put into human beings
by any machine, however skillfully de-
vised-at least the capacity to make the
best of what they have. The tendency,
therefore, is to over-educate, to teach too
many things, to utilize time too much,
and, above all, to impart too many Ian
guages.
The Governor" are too conscientious,
and too much penetrated with admira-
ton for the knowledge which they sell
dom themselves possess. The effect of
the system, which has occasionally, as in
Austria, been carried very far, would be
to produce student Kings or literary
Kings, who would be very dangerous
rulers, but that fortunately the two fam
lilies, Catholic and Protestant, who COM
pose the Royal caste, havea fine resisting
power against instruction, and are not
likely to be overeducated for their intel
lects. We may get here and there a
Prince Albert on throne, which would
be good thing, and here and there an
an eff lent Legislator, which would be an
excellent thing, but the majority will be
very like average young officers weighted
with some sense of responsibility.
But the courts of the Continent, though
not very successful in their efforts, have
seen that mental force, much knowledge,
much experience, much habit of refec-
ton are the powers which are useful to
Kings and would regard the theory that
it was useful to teach the ruler of a
fourth of the world how to hold on aloft,
at the cost of years Of time and separa-
ton from men and the educational mn
minery of this time, with amused amaze
ment; and if Germans, perhaps with a
query whether the Vikings days were
expected back again, or whether Rolf the
Granger would win sovereignty now.
The English think them wrong, but it
may be feared they are right, and that
the only advantage gained by making
heirs-apparent into sailor boys are, that
in England their future English subjects
like it, and that sailors very rarely catch
the royal mental disease which English.
men, loyal as they are, would hardly
bear, militarismus.

A Narrow Escape from Death.
tTrOy Times

Ever since the present railroad bridge
was constructed across the river at CO.
hoes people have persisted in crossing it,
Notwithstanding the great danger to be
apprehended from approaching trains.
There is no room by the side Of the track
for people to stand, and in case of being
caught on the bridge the only safety lies
in dropping between the ties and hang
ing suspended over the river that flows
fifty feet beneath. Last night Mr..
Jerome, residing in West Waterford, had
a narrow escape. He was crossing the
railroad bridge; and had reached about
the center when train came thunderng
along.
There was not time to return, and but
a moment was spent in hesitation, when,
bracing himself up for the terrible strain,
he dropped his body between the timbers
and chung to one of the cross pieces with
his arms clasped tightly about it. The
train passed. and Mr.. Jerome essayed the
task Of lifting himself up, but had not
the requisite strength. He shrieked for
aid, and again and again essayed the task
of drawing himself up by his arms. 1t
was all in vain, and each struggle only
served to weaken his frail hold upon the
timber. Death seemed very near to him,
and Just as he was about relinquishing
his hold he heard encouraging cries and
he rallied his little remaining strength
for a last struggle for life. To Mr.. Je-
rome it seemed an age before help ar
rived, but in reality it was but few mo-
ments, when, as his fingers were slipping,
his arms were grasped and he was saved.
The shock to his system had been great,
and when drawn up he was unable to
stand. 1t was with great difficulty his
rescuers succeeded in getting him to the
land, and to-day he is prostrated 10 as to
be unable to leave his bed.
