Another Claimant Puzzling England.

QUITE sensation has been caused in
Leicester by the announcement that a
gentleman has appeared claiming to be
heir TO the estates of Mr.. Wynn Stan
ley, who some eighteen years ago
mysteriously disappeared while he was
High Sheriff of Leicestershire. The
case is enshrouded in great obscurity,
but it appears that, in consequence of
some family disagreement, Mr.. Stanley
left Leicestshire suddenly, telling his
mother that she would never see his face
again. He was traced to France, and
his relatives, raised 10000, which was
given to him while there to provide for
his wants. He, however, again disap-
peared very suddenly, and it was sub
sequently discovered that he had I'M
wisely intrusted the 10000 to several
gentlemen, and it was lost in an unfor-
tunate agricultural speculation. All
trace of Mr.. Stanley was lost, and

Asrestless, bold, and unafraid,
She slips and floats along the air,
Till all her subtitle house is made.
Her home, her bed, her nets for food,
All from that inward store she draws;
She fashions it and knows it good
BY instincts sure and sacred laws.
No silver threads to weave her nest
She seeks and gathers far or near,
But spins il from her faithful breast,
Renewing still till leaves are sere.
TIL, worn with toll and tired of life, N
y Invain her shining traps M set,
For frost hath stilled the insect strife,
And gilded flies her charm forget.
Then, swinging on the shroud she spun,
She sways to every wintrv wind,
Her joy, her toll, her GRAND done,
Her corse the sport of storms unkind.

MY daily life and living plan,
My home, my rest, my pleasure spin.

AppIPtOn'S Journal.

For Sept. mber, contains an unusually
interesting collection of articles. It opens
with the fifth part of Cherbuleiz's delight
full story Of Saints and Sinners" The
French surpass all other nations in the de-
partment of light literature. and Cherbu-
leiz is one of the cleverest of the modern
school. Two sketches by Ivan Tourgen-
letf, the Russian writer, are characterized
by charming simplicity. English and
American English" discusses the changes
which the language has undergone and is
still undergoing, subjected to varying con
dl'lons, and is pleasant reading toraIl who
are interested in the subject, land there are
few who are not. Byron, Goethe and
Matthew Arnold" is in reply to Matthew
Arpold's essay on Byron with which the
readers of Appleton were favored several
months ago. "Two Theories of Poetry =
French Intellectual Life" "An Adven-
ture in the PHILIPPINE Islands" THE Mein-
engin Company and the London Stage,
and Lawn Tennis and It's Players" com
plete the table-varied, entertaining. in
structive. The Editors Table contains
interesting notes. A point in Mr. Tere
Blacks argument against Ingersoll is
shown to be incorrect-the point which
attributes monogomy to Christianity. The
discussion of the shooting Of the President
comments on the compensation in that sad
affair in the revelation to the people that
all parts of the country are united-organ
