Lamartine's oblivion.
London Daily Nows.I

London Daily Newell
France has recently afforded an in.
teresting variation on the old text of
the vanity of human wishes. The
academy lately offered a prize for the
best essay on Lamartine, but though
some hundreds Of manuscripts were
sent in, not one was considered wor-
thy of receiving the prize. This of
itself affords a curious example of the
oblivion into which Lamartine's name
must have fallen of late years in
France, if his name could not inspire
a single essayist sufficiently to receive
the approval of the academy. There
was a time when the name Of Lamar
tine was in the mouths of all
men, when he ranked highly as
poet and novelist, as his
torian and as politician. When Balzac
took him as the model for his poet
politician Canals, Lsmartine was
generally understood to be a great
man. His poems we're read and
his "Girondists" eagerly
studied, his political career clogely
watched. Yet it is not many wears
since he died in poverty and almost
forgotten even then. The present
generation has passed him BY, ana
apparently contains no one-at least
in France-able to lay a tribute upon
his abandoned grave. Probably The
unconscious insineerity which was
characteristic of all Lamartine's lie
and work is the cause of this onrious
indifference to him o.day. But few
Of his poems survive "Graziela2 is
little read, and his influence upon the.
politics Of his day has left no abiding
impression upon the history Of France,

Deafened by Cigarettes.

Fred Swartz, a law student of Gin
cinnati, became afflicted with deafness
a few days ago. He placed himself in
the care Of a celebrated aurist, who
upon examination, discovered that the
young mans deafness was directly at
tributable to the use of cigarettes.
Swarz smoked a great many cigarette
and was accustomed to blow the smoke
out through his nose. The examina-
ton disclosed the fact that several Of
the ducts leading from the nasal cayi.
ty to the seat Of hearing were filed
with cicotine. An operation will be
be performed in a few days, in the
hope that hearing may be restored,
