He himself was absorbed in his work, and
at the same time was OF SO irritable ard
irsscible temper that living with him must
have been a sore penance. Even his mother
said he was "gey i'll to live wi" and his
poor wife found this out TO her cost.
Carlyle appears anything but amia5le in
these volumes, and by no meaes always d.
serving of respect. a great many OF his
criticisms on his contemporaries are out
rageously severe and W just. A great many
of his opinions reveal dense ignorance Of
the subjects he dcgmatizes upnp. No man
was so fond of attacking others for speaking
without understanding, and yet the same
fault was very frequently committed by him.
He must have been singulsrly unhappy
man, and he made his wife almost as
miserable as himself. His captiousness and
querulousness were such as to render his COM
pany extremely undesirable. He YVES often
as boorish as old Dr.. johnson. and seems
never to have been able to resist the tcmpta-
ton of contradicting whatever view stranger
might put forward, even when i. went on al
tours with his own positions. He had long
and painful struggle before he was recognized
as a man of genius, but his troubles were ali
more than doubled by his unfortunate all
msnt, which made every unolehill appear a
mountain to him, which took away the ca
pacity for Ell joyment, and clothed all-the
world in mourning. His LIFE was a constant
IN fha hoo
Dyspepsia" as be called it, rode him like a
nightmare. His philosophy was morbid be-
cause bis mind was clouded. He could not,
save at rare intervals, see the sun and the
blue sky. Everythingi appeared dark and
gloomy to him.
And curiously enough this preacher OF
Silence as the great remedy for all troubles,
was one of the most garrulous of men.
He made more noise than regiment in i'm
ploring everybody else to hold their tongues.
He was diffuae in praise OF brevity. He de-
nounced talk in interminable prattle In
short his whole literary course proved that
he could by no means live up to his own
rules. Yet for all this the force of his sIgu.
ments remains unaffected, and his criticisms
are none the less trenchant because the critics
own conduct was not squared by them. The
laying bare of his personal life ard re.
lations shows US thas he was not after all a
sage sitting aloft superior TO all the petty
cares and troubles of the world, but simple
human being, weighed down with aft ctior
which colored and distorted his exist
ence, and which unconsciously to
himself shaped the design of his
philosophy. We look behind the curtain
and see the tragedy and the comedy
of this great mans life. II we are meanly
dispoEed we hug ourselves in the thought
that after all be was in some things rather be
low than above his fellows. If we are dis
posed to do justice we turn from the frail crea
ture to the fruit of his intellect, and recogniz,
there the marks of that genius whose fir,
renders imperishable the works which are in
formed by it.

ATLANTIS; THE ANrEDnuvns WORLD. By Igna.
titus Donnelly. New York: Harper Bros. San
Francisco A. l.. Bancroft & Co.
This is an ingenious and laborious effort to
demonstrate that the tradition of buried
continent called Atlantis rests upon fact ;
that such an island did formerly exist in the
Atlantic Ocean, opposite the mouth of the
Mediterranean Sea; and that this buried
Atlantis was the fountain and source of that
civilization which overlooked frem it to
Pheaicia, Greece, America, and go on down
to modern times. As matter of course the
best that can be done with the scanty ma.
terial at hand is to create plausible pre-
sumption in favor of his theory. There il.
however, always danger that in attempting
to find support for such theory an author
may go too far. and thereby make his cause
preposterous. MIR. Donnelly has striven to
avoid this source of weakness as much "a
possible, but he has not always succeeded.
1t is certain that the legend of Atlantis is
of great antiquity. Herodotus brought itfrom
Egypt, where the priests appeared to know
all about it. and where it was then regarded
as history. Plato gives the history of Allan.
It's in detail, and it is plain that it was then
very elaborate, and strangely detailed and
consistent for mere myth. Mr.. Donnelly
is of opinion that the great catastrophe which
destroyed Atlantis was the origin of all the
deluge stories which have been found go
widely diffused, and which certainly cannot
be explained on the hypothesis that the
Chaldean tradition had been disseminated
all over the earth. When we find legend
held in common by the Chaldeans, the

BURGLAR SHOT.-On Sunday eve-
ming last, II. +. Snyder, merchant at
Hersey, remarked to some of his friends
that his dog acted peculiarly, the same
as 1t had done Oil u previous OCCASION,
when bis store had been burglarized
and that he should sleep i'm the store
that night. Accordingly, lie armed
himself with double barreled shot
gun, one barrel loaded with fine and
the other with buck-shot, and repair
ing to the store, settled down for q
sleep on lounge at the rear end.
About one o'clock i'm the morning,
he was awakened by q crash of break
ing glass; which brought him to his
feet on the floor. Watching and lis
tening, he heard cautious steps go
around the building and stop at "a rear
window. The burglar then pounded
off the rough edges of the fractured
pane of glass he had previously broken
and crawled into the room. Mr.. Sny-
der waited till he had obtained en-
trance, then raised his shot gun,
snapped the cap on the barrel loaded
with large hot, but it di, not discharge
the contents. He then tried the second
barrel with better effect. a yell fol-
lowed the explosion; the victim cx-
claiming, 80, you've killed mel" The
poor fellow was gathered up and taken
to the Jail, where an examination
proved that one Of his shoulders was
literally riddled with shot, while others
lodged In lis face. At first lis wound
was considered mortal; but Later, 1t was
thought lie would recover.
Mr.. s. surrendered himself, and gave
bonds for appearance In court In case
of the burglars death. 1t IL said that

after the affair was over II don't
