Cervantes's Misiudgment

There is an irony worthy of his own genius
in the history of Cervantes's attack on the
books of chivalry. He gained an immediate
popularity by the part of mis- work which is
now scarcely understood. When the books he
ridiculed had fallen into neglect his own al
most shared their fate 1t was not until Lord
Cartaret published his splendid edition in Lon
don in 1888, and employed Mayans to write
a life of the author, that the Spaniards found
out how great man they had pro uced. No
great writer has ever had less influence on
his own country. A sentence at tho end of
his chief work has been made an excuse for
pedantries innumerable. Because he says
that his one intention was to deride certain
form of bad literature, commentators have con-
cluded that he must have meant to teach
something which he did not venture to point
out more clearly. More or less, all great
writer's have experienced similar treatment,
but probably none, not even Rabelais, to the
same extent as Cervantes. 1t is even permits
sible to doubt whether he did not interpret his
own work as badly as any modern critic
whether, in fact, he did not sincerely value it
principally for what is now the least valuable
part of it. He wished to do his country a
service more than to give picture of life and
very probably thought but little of what is
now the great charm of Don Quixote"-its
marvellous portraits They were the spon-
taneous outpouring of thirty years of thought
and observation. He thought that the Per
siles and Sigismunda"-a professedly didactic
book-was his masterpiece, and it proved un-
readable from the first. In the larger sense he
failed completely to effect the object for which
he wrote "Don Quixote.' Bad taste and ex-
travagance and falsity to nature were destined
to increase with growing rapdity in Spanish
literature, while his own example and teach
ing remained barren. He has produced his
main effect on foreigners and heretics while
his satire alone prevents the world from for
getting that the books he meant to destroy ever
existed.-St. James's Gazette

A Smart Traveller.

On the way to Terre Haute, a traveller with
the air aud appearance Of man who knew it
all, approached the fat passenger and said, in
the shocked tones of man of fine feelings
Wasn't it dreadful?'
Il should say it was, the fat passenger re-
piled.
"Did you hear about it?" the traveller con-
tnued more impressvely than ever.

There was an awkward silence of several
minutes between them, and the traveller went
back to his seat with discouraged expression
Presently he came forward and approached

The smart fellow sighed and once more re-
sumed his seat. His face frightened up after
awhile and he came to the front once more

A Last Word.
The Pronunciation of "Mt. Desert" !"
Boston Transcript |

lbOSJOH
Mr.. Shea says that the Canadians of to-day
use les deserts in the sense of cleared and ara
BILE lands. and he implies that Champlain only
meant that the mountains were cleared OF
trees. But Champlain says, "The summit of
the most of them is destitute OF trees as there
are only rocks on Them" This far fetched
suggestion that he meant by Monies Describes
arabic clearings will hardly commend itself to
people who have either seen the hills from the
sea or wandered over their desoate SUBMITS.
"P. Q. r." says that Mt. Desert is not an
Englinsh expression because the adjective fol-
lows the noun, but Mt. Desert is just as good
English as the familiar Mt. Pleasant, Mt Au-
burn and Mt. Hope. According to English
practice, the qualifying word adjective or
noun) follows the word, mount and pre-
cedes the word mountain"
"L. r. L." wants to follow the French as
we'll as the circumstances will permit. But
Deserts is not one whit nearer the French pro-
nunciation than Desert, both are equally re-
mote from the French, Daze-air.
New Orleans was named for French town,
but educated people do not undertake to pre-
serve this historical fact by adopting the vul-
O. RS" example, do we say Port Royal or
Port Royal in English speech? By the way, IL
Royal had an eminently appropriate meaning
and Royal ant obviously absurd one, we
should have parallel case to that Of Desert
and Desert
"P. @. r." asserts that the Franch name has
passed into English by a process similar to that
in the case of Qubec and Montreal. Now,
these two places have been inhabited from
the time the French settlements were made.
and the English speaking population mixed
itself gradually with the French. But Mt.
Desert and its neghborhood was abandoned
by the French about 1886, aud the island re-
mained uninhabited for at least sixty-ive
years, so there was no direct passing into
English of the French pronunciation.
When English settlers arrived in 1761, Eng
lish spelling was in very unsettled state, and
words like "desert" were spelled by educated
persons with either an or an a. AT length
spelling became uniform and Mt. Desert be-
came the established form. With this spelling
Desert became the only natural mode OF pro-
nunciation; and, in 1855, Lippincott's Gaz-
inhabitants of the island, however, remained
very much divided. Many said Mt. Desert,
but at Bar Harbor, one OF the poorest settle-
ments on the island, the commonest pronun-
citation was Mounzert, and the reason that
Desert is the prevailing mode among the
islands summer visitors is because 1t was
copied by the first comers from this, the low
est form of local usage.
Finally, usage inland around the island, as
we'll as to some extent among the "visi:ors"
is still divided. Johnson's Cyclop9dia QS77)
gives only Desert, willie LipDncOtps (lSSO)
gives, for the first time, both pronunciations.
Such being the case, let ne choose the Eng
lish and appropriate form, Desert; rather than
the non-English and unmeaning form, Desert.

THE official "Gazeta de Madrid" has pub
lished two royal DEGREES counter-signed by
the Colonial Minister, of which one ordains
the PRONUNCIATION of the constitution of 1875
in the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico; and
the second, the introduction into the above
islands of tile press-laws existing in Spain
since 1st January, 1870. The first decree,
as is expressly specified in article 2, makes
no change in the laws OF 18th February,
1880, which contains provisions for the
gradual abolition of slavery in the island of
Cuba. The two DEGREES are really the first
step towards relieving the above mentioned
colonies from the exceptional position
which they have previously occupied, and
granting them equal administrative rights
with Spain. 1t is reported also that reforms
are TO be introduced into the customs
duties of those islands.

duties of those islands.

THE Russian circular note, suggesting
that an international conference should
meet to deliberate on measures TO be taken
against the revolutionary propaganda, points
out how much sympathy has been shown in
the question by various governments and
that these governments recognize the neces-
sity of adopting precautions against COM
mon enemy. Starting from this hypothesis,
the note requests the various governments
to deliberate together as to what measures
should be adopted by all in the common in
terest. For this purpose Conference is
suggested by the Russian Government which
is inspired by desire to find, in common
with the other powers, ways and means of
combating the evil conditions complained
of, without prejudice to the sovereign rights
of individual states. With regard to time
and place of the proposed conference the
note makes no suggestion.
