The death is announced of Fraser's
Magazine. Among the names associated
with this publication are those of Thack-
cray, Carlyle, Coleridge, and s'Father
Prout." It was for Fraser that Thackery,
under the nom de plume of Michael Angelo
Titmarsh, wrote some of the best of his
early sketches, among others sThe Hag-
gerty Diamond" and shabby Genteel
Stories.'' Most of Father Prout's clever
productions were published in the maya
zine, whose extinction will excite the gen.
eral regret of every lover of high class
literature.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch of ~assrecent date
gives an account of a painful accident
that happened to!Congressman Russell Err
rett, which may ~confine him to his room
for several weeks to come: In company
with Mr.. McClarren, of the East End, Mr..
Errett was driving down Dallas avenue in
a buggy, when the horse fell into a ditch,
throwing the gentlemen out of the buggy
and ~dislocating Mr.. Errett's right shoulder
blade, in addition to infiicting other inju-
ries. Mr.. McClarren escaped unhurt. Mr..
Errett was removed to the Point Breeze
hotel, where he now lies under the care of
physicians, who refuse to allow of his re-
moval.
A pleasant incident occurred at the
Hotel Brunswick, Boston, on Wednesday
evening. Following the introduction of
Hon. Robert R. Bishop, Republican candi-
date for governor of Massachusetts, to
President Arthur, Ben Butler approached
simultaneously with Bishop, and after
speaking to the latter, the president said:
'Mr. Bishop, allow me to introduce you to
General Butler" The two exchanged greet
ings, and then Bishop, turning to Arthur,
remarked: Gen. Butler and myself, Mr..
President, are taking competitive exami-
nation" Amid much laughter the presi-
dent wished that both might pass, and the
three then separated.
The increase of street begging in Paris
is one of the least pleasing signs of the
weakening of authority in France. The
empire kept the streets under better con-
troll, both by day and night. The less fire.
quented streets are becoming more infest-
ed by beggars than those of London, and
they may sometimes be singing out for
eigners for their appeals, and
leaving natives unnoticed. An
other disagreeable feature of Paris, though
one for which the police are less response
BILE, is the number of "genteel beggars''
Foreign residents are especially exposed
to this nuisance, for these beggars are
mostly foreigners, Their nationality. or
at least their language, is generally Ger
man.
October 18th rounded up 100 years
since the birth of Daniel Webster, and the
Bostonians had a big junketing on the &C.
casion. Wine flowed like water, and
nothing could be more appropriate at a
celebration Of Daniel Webster, attended by
''Chet" Arthur. There were present at the
vast gathering a distinguished array of
the great and of the prominent, and it was
made a sort of winding-up feature to the
extended pleasure journey of President
Arthur, who has now certainly had sur
cease from official cares to the top of his
bent, and may be expected soon to return
to the capital, where Cameron and Hub
bell and the rest of the boys have had full
control in the well-timed absence of their
ex-officio chief. It seems from the report
of the proceedings that Webster made a
good deal of capital out of the presidents
attendance at his centennial-or perhaps
it was the other way. 1t is difficult to say
just which. President Arthur also had a
particularly interesting time at the thea
tiers. Of course the doctors are very much
alarmed, as in duty bound they ought to
be, at the dangerous illness of the presi-
dent.
