Of no fewer than sixty distinctly different

ness to health OF its evil smells. We have the
smoke always with US, to begin with, which, as

The Leading French Critic.


That hairless face, with bony cheeks. promi-
nent nose. large mouth, from which gapes out a
shrill voice, reminding one of the singers Of the
Sixtine chapel or Of the keepers of the seraglio,
we'll known to boulevardiers and gamblers, is
that Of Albert Wolf. the journalist, who, were
he not clad with masculine garment. might,
with petticoats and a checquered shawl, be al
most taken for an old charwoman. Albert Wolff
is a Prussian, from Cologne, and. without any
doubt, that Prussian of Cologne is the most
thoroughly Partisan of our ctroniqueurs Nobody
knows better than he how to catch the telling
fact Of the day, whether it be crime politics
literature or art. His ready pen, correct
style, sharp wit, mixed with good sense, all
combine to place him in the very first rank of
those skirmishers whose prose is to last one day.
We used the word chrona9,ie4r just now and it
was purposely that we used it, as Wolf, whether
he writes notice of the yearly Salon, as Pre-
mier-Paris in the Figaro, on account of play
in the Ecenement-nay, a play itself is ever
chronaque,T. His articles afford always plea
SAINT reading, though the second part of his
papers Is. as rule but repetition of the first;
but the reader must not seek in them learning
or research; they are written de chic Wolff
writes with the tone OF an austere novelist; but
his readers are not bound to believe him; indeed
he does not believe himself in what he writes
He does, in fact. just the contrary of what he
breaches to others. "The cowl does not make
the monk" and the pen has been given to the
writer to disguise his thoughts.
