On looking over the door both were seen to be lying on the floor. Word was tel ephoned to the station house, and an officer appeared and entered the room, when it was found that Libby had fired two or three shots at her, one of which passed through the left cheek and lodged in the head, another passed through the partition into the next room, where the bullet was found He then shot himself be- hind the ear, but the bullet glanced off and only inflicted a slight wound. He was arrested and taken to the station house in a clear state of mind. He was not under the influence of liquor. The woman is said to be unmarried and between twenty and thirty years of ago.

 Indeed, if man looks for wealth, the pro fession of literature is the very last I would recommend him to embrace On the other hand, such guerdon as the novelist does re- ceive is gained very pleasantly, and accom- panied by many charming circumstances. He can choose his society where he likes; for all doors open to him. If fool enough to prefer swelldom to comfort, he has no need to struggle for it, as men in other caIlings with ten times his income must needs do. At the tables of the great he is not placed according to the degree of rank tor heaven knows where he would be) but enjoys sta tus of his own. In. ordinary society, too (which is much more particular than the 'Fbest circles') he is regarded with an excep- tional charity. His position, indeed, among the most respectable people always reminds me of lunatic among the Indians ''The Great Spirit" has afflicted him with genius, they think Cor at all events with something of that nature), and it behooves them to wink at his little infrmities. Nobody dreams of asking whether he is high church or low church, or even no church. However much he may be lat his ease in Zion," nobody ac- cuses him of irreverence. It has been said of certain parsonage that a great many more people know T. F- than T. F- knows; but the number of people who want to know the popular novelist is almost incredible. His photograph is sighed for by literary maid ems beyond the seas, and by professional photographers (who take him for nothing) at
 home; his autograph is demanded from some
 quarter of the world by every pest. Poems
 are written him, books are dedicated to
 him. paragraphs about his. failing health
 (often when he is quite well, which makes it
 the more pleasan) pervade the newspapers,
 as though he were a bishop who gives hopes
 of vacant see. If vanity is his ruling pas
 sion Ca circumstance not altogether unprece-
 dented), he should indeed be happy man.
