so.e themselves when their own productions
are ill-treated-but also because he ought to
have been employed in work more worthy OF
his genius. He does not however, it seems to
me, bring out with sufficient emphasis how
much OF his force Poe wasted in this labor,
viewed simply as means of livelihood. Poe
did his work too thoroughly. both for the
amount paid and for the purposes of the peri
odcal The feat which he performed in re-
viewing the first number of Barnaby Rudge,
shows the spirit in which he approached his
duties He gave in that review a speculative
account of the course that the plot ought to
follow, and solved in advance the mystery Of
Ha.edale's murder with such exactitude that
Dickens wrote in astonislment to as whether
his reviewer had dealings with the devil II
Poe had examined only masterpieces with the
microscopic completeness with which he an-
alyzed Barnaby Ridge, the labor might have
paid him in furnishing hints for his own crea-
tive work. But every book that was sub
mitted TO him underwent the same process OF
exhaustive scrutiny Every book presented it.
self to his analytic faculty as a problem to be
attacked and solved; he analyzed the writer's
aims and his method, and set himself TO con-
slider how the subject ought TO have been
treated. The reviewer who can supply five
lines on book III five minutes is the reviewer
who can hope to make reviewing a profitable
trade. Poe ,could not or would not do this;
every book good or bad, was challenge to his
powers of analysis, and he could not par. with
it till he had dssected it out. Perhaps = c may
ask whether work of this kind ought not to
have been better paid and more highly appre-
ciated. Poe's employers would probably have
answered this question by saying that the pub
lie, whom they were trying to induce 10 buy
their periodicals, did not care for this kind OF
thoroughness. They were not catering for an
audience of artists who might have found prof
1T as well as pleasure in mastery analysis OF
the mechanism Of book. Their audience
only cared to know whether book was inter-
esting, worth reading or worth buying; how it
might have been made more interesting and
whether it satisfied exacting canons OF con-
Structlon, were matters in which they had q
languid concern or no concern at all. What
chiefly struck Poe's employersl about his re-
views was that they were Classical and schol-
arlike," and they were also aware that he
wrote with "fastidious difficulty" Into the
secret OF his difficulty they did not inquire.
They probably considered it defect in him
that he was not more ready writer And
they measured the value of his articles on the
sound commercial principles that except when
he CHANGED to make a sensation by exposing
the weak points of celebrities, they could get
reviews equally or perhaps more suited to the
requirements of the general reader at the same
price.

Rohans and Lewis

Perhaps the greatest name in the roll of the
French nobilityis that of Rohan. A device of
this family was, liking am not, Prince disdain
to be. Rohan am" Nevertheless Princes they
became without abating one iot of their pride.
The wife of one of them was asked when sheI
expected to lie-in. II hope to have that nonor
in six weeks" replied the lady. The honor
was to be delivered of a Rohan. In spite of
some distinguished scions of this house, it isto
be feared the two best known to history are
the Cardinal who did his best to ruin the repu-
tation of Marie .Antoinette, and the Marshal
Prince OF Soubise, SO egregiouSly beaten by
Frederic at ROsbach. "Ce pdurre Soubise,"
said Louis XIV. when he heard the news, I'll
ne ht mdnque plus Q,te d'etre content" The
Prince had been unfortunate in his family re-
lations.
The head of the Rohans migrated to Austria
at the time of the first revolution, and the eld-
er branch is no longer French. Doubtless there
were Rohans in the field against their old
country at Magenta and Solferino. There are
at least five in the armies of Francis Joseph at
the present day. The Rohan-Chabots, young
er branch, have remain ed faithful to the faith
erland. They are all, by right, ''cousins to the
King''-a dignity more highly priced than it
would be in England, where it is enjoyed by
every peer down to yiscounts inclusive. Should
however 1.-THE King" ever return. and the old
order of things be reestablshed, the Duke Of
Uzes would be entitled to lake precedence of
the whole aristocracy OF France. An Uzes
was already Premier Duke latter the princes
of the bloody in the reign Of Louis XIV. The
late Duke died year or two ago, and little
child Is now the heir of this splendid title
and of many hopes He dwells in the Chateau
of Uzes, which still stands, and which the fam
lily have managed to keep. Another famous
French house is that of the Lewis, now repre-
sented by the Due de Mirepoix, hereditary
Marshal of the Faith" Their pedigree stretch
es back to Levi, son of Jacob, and consequent
ly up to Adam, whose arms every one has not
the right to quarter, purity, as well as direct
ness, of descent having to be proved. Wheth-
er the Lewis have proved theirs is another mat
ter. There was once picture ia the posses,
sion of the family in winch Lewis appeared
taking off his hat to the Blessed Virgin. From
her lips issued scroll with the words, Cover
Yourself, my cousin" The historic names of
Noailles Rchelieu, Rochechouart, La Roche
foucauld, Laynes, and many others still figure
in the roll of the French peerage. The Due
de la Observation-Disclosures be it observed
in passing who made himself so conspicuous
in the National Assembly as partisan OF
Henry W, has but doubtful right to the title
he assumes. In France he is simply Chevalier
de la Rochefoucauld, and Due de Bisaccia in
Italy.-The Cornhill Magazine.

Interesting Suggestions in Regard
to Dinner.

The rationale of the initial soup has often
been discussed. Some regard it as calculated
to diminish digestive power, Oh the theory that
so much fluid taken at first destroys the gastric
Juices But there appears to Re no foundation
for this belief A clear soup,or the fluid con-
stituents of puree, disappear almost immedi-
ately after entering the stomach, being absorbed
by the proper vessels, and in no way interfere
with the gastric juice which is stored in its APP
propriate cells ready for action. The habit OF
commencing dinner with soup has without
doubt its origin in the fact that ailments in the
fluid form-in fact ready digested-soon enter
the blood and rapidly refresh the hungry man,
who, after considerable fast and much activ-
ity, sits down with sense of exhaustion to CON-
pence his principal meal. In two or three min
utes, after taking plate Of good warm consom-
me, the feeling of exhaustion disappears, and
irritability gives way to the gradually rising

The October Elections.

OF the three States that hold elections
next Tuesday, the 18th inst, two will prob
ably go Democratic aud one Republican.
N. one expects that West Virginia will do
otherwise than throw Democratic majori-
ty, and few look for anything else than a
Democratic plurality In Indiana. The latter
State has been steadily Democratic for some
years past. Iu 1876 the vote stood in round
numbers, Republican, 100000, Democratic
213,OO0 Greenback, 5000. Two years ago
the Republicans cast 10000, the Democrats
1914 600, and the Greenbacks $4,000. 1t is
believed that the aggregate vote next Tues
day will be 100000. of which the Green
hackers are expected to cast only 10000.
Should the Democrats secure a plurality the
result of the election would be of little sig
nificance for they would but hold their own.
Should the Republicans succeed, the cleo
ton of Garfield would be assured, and
he would secure Is electoral votes that have
never been reckoned for him. The loss of
Indiana and Connecticut (the town elections
give Connecticut to the Republicans would
! be fatal to Hancock.
In Ohio Republican defeat would be a
most serious loss, and blow from which it
would be difficult to recover. A Republican
victory, on the other hand would leave the
State just where it was before, though a
greatly increased majority would have. some
significance. If the three October States
vote as they did in 1879 the result of the
Presidential election will depend upon New
York, and New York may with confidence
be set down in the Republican column.
| JOHN BRENNAN, who is announced as
| one of the most brilliant orators in the Dem
ocratic party in Iowa, has just written a let
| ter in which he expresses purpose to vote
the Republican ticket. In that letter he

THE postal money order system in the
United States owes it's success to the meas
ures adopted ~by the various Republican
heads of the Post-Office department, as the
system was a wretched failure before the
war. The admirable administration OF this
service increases the public use of it raj idly
with each succeeding year. Few depart
ments of the postal service are found more
reliable by the public or OF more general use
than this one What is Of more consequence
is that itpays all its own expenses and yields
