Ar LAsr.-The long deferred marriage of
the Baroness Burdett- Coutts with Mr.. Ash.
mead Bartlett, which has been the subject
of unlimited gossip, some of it very lima
tured, and most of it in very bad taste, took
place on Saturday week. The bridegroom
is thirty years or more younger than his
BRIDE but that is their affair. Everybody
speaks we'll OF Mr.. Bartlett, and no one has
better claim than Mrs. Bartlett, if that is
now her name, TO respectful and kindly
treatment from all English-speaking people,
for no woman who ever lived has given 80
much money for charitable purposes, and
given 1t so wisely. Very few women, of
course, have had so much to give, for her
wealth was and is enormous, though she
sacrifices considerable part of it by her
marriage, the will by which her great for
tune came to her providing that so much of
it as consisted Of a share in Coutts' bank
should revert to other heirs of Thomas
Coutts If she should marry an alien. Mr.
Bartlett was born in Philadelphia in 1910,
but removed to England with his widowed
mother in 1861. He is barrister by pro-
fession, and obtained some distinction by
his valuable services in experimenting the
distribution of the funds raised in England
for the relief of sufferers by the late war be-
tween England and Turkey.

ATLANTIC MoNTHLY.-Mr. w. ID. Howells
retires from the editorship Of the Atlantic
Monthly on the LIST of March, and is to be
succeeded on that date by Mr. Thomas Bailey
Aldrich. For some time, as has been stated,
rumors of an impending change in the con-
duct of the magazine have been abroad, but
negotiations have just been concluded, so
that the announcement may be made by au-
thority. The relations between the parties
in interest in the change are perfectly
friendly and the arrangements are mutually
satisfactory. Mr.. Howells has for some time
been DESTROYS of retiring, that he might give
more attention to literary work and carry
out several plans he has had in mind, and he
would have resigned earlier in the season
had his successor been determined upon and
secured. Mr.. Howells, it is announced, will
continue as contributor to the magazine,
and it is said has new story under way,
the publication of which will begin in its
columns before long. 1t is also said that the
rumors current of radical changes in the
magazine are not correct On the contrary,
it is stated that its general policy will not be
changed in the slightest; and the gossip
about " lowering its standard" and illus
trating IL, to make it more popular, is char
acterized by both Mr.. Houghton and Mr..
Aldrich as "silly and absurd" Mr.. Aldrich
begins his work at once.

General Arthur's Birthplace.

The expiring reverberations of the late
brilliant democratic campaign have con-
sisted in desperate attempt to establish the
fact that the republican president-elect
was OF foreign birth, and SO ineligible to
that high office. A more conclusive answer
to this characteristic undertaking could not
be desired than is found in the subjoined
letter of Rev. Albert Stone of Eden, La
noble county, which we find in the Morris
vile Citizen. This letter possesses add-
tional interest for us also from the fact that
both the writer and the Rev. DIR. Arthur,
father OF the vice-president-elect, were near
neighbors and, of course, familiarly known
to us in our boyhood. The letter also fur
nishes striking illustration of the genius
OF our institutions under which one of 80
humble birth can successfully compete for the
second highest position in the government
Dear Sir:-I learn that an effort is being made
In certain quarters TO obtain proof that Chester
A. Arthur, the vice-president-elect Of this repub
Nc, ~ by birth Canadian, and consequently not
eligible to the office to which he has been chosen
by the people. Having been intimately acquainted
with the Arthur family for period OF more than
twenty years before the birth OF the person in
question, and for few years subsequent TO that
event, perhaps few facts resulting from personal
knowledge would not be out OF place or uninter-
esting TO the public II you win afford a little

circumstances were sufficient TO ensure great in

In this he was right, not only In the sense In
which he illustrated his meaning, but also in
another. Collamer WAS not only Socratic In his
mode OF reasoning, his manner OF " Handling"
subject under discussion, and the earnestness OF
his convictions, but he came as near the rule laid
down by Socrates AZ a test OF wisdom as any man
ever knew. This great teacher said that the
highest OF all wisdom Is a knowledge of the
boundary line between the known and the un.
