The Fame Of ThaCkeray.

IL. Thackeray is the only novelist of his
time, it may safely be said, whose popu-
larity is increasing. While his rivals
are suffering from the reaction that
always follows success, he has been
steadily gaining 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 OBJ
vious that, with all his hatred of shams,
Thackeray's scorn of conventions did
not go deep. In spite of his profess
sions, he was contented to accept avery
conventional code of morality, and he
turned away with indifference from
many questions which man thirty
years his junior could not let pass SO
easily. At bottom he showed the
optimism of the Waterloo warriors
whose weaknesses he knew so we'll how
to expose, and had he not done so he
would have been a far less delightful
writer than he is. It is this mixture of
half-hearted pessimism and real optim-
ism 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 "Esmond" a
preference to which we venture to
think it is not entitled. Admitting
that Thackeray bestowed more labor
on Esmond," and showed more artistic
conscience in it than in any of his
other books, we cannot allow that, ad-
mirable as it is as piece of "restora-
tion," it has the vitality of Vanity
Fair and "The Newcomes." It is as
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 romances. They
will live as vivid pictures of English So
ciety in the first half of the nineteenth
century.-The Athen911m. 49,.

PROF. Benjamin Pierce says
that the great comet recently
seen in South America is the
comet Of 1S43 once more on a
visit to the sun. 1t may be-
come visible from North Amer
lea some time during this year.
This same luminary in 11O6
blazed with a brightness that
compared to that of the sun; in
1902 it was visible at MONDAY;
in 1854 it is said to have eclips-
ed the moon; in 1859 it terror
lied the ignorant throughout
the world, and in 1913 it
strengthened the following of
the Millerites. If it shines over
the Northern hemisphere this
year it may be expected to play
a part in the Presidential cam
paign. But this comet, like
certain terrestrial luminaries
that we know of, is not so bri ght
at some times as it is at others
