Two lady uthor

There are twoladies OF whom | would
fain say . word, though l feel that l
am making my list too long, in order
that I may declare how much / have
admired their work. They are Anne
Thsckeray and R'ioda Broughton. l
have known them both, and have loved
the former almost as ii sac belonged
TO me. No two wri ers were e,er more
dissimilar except in this, that they are
both feminine. Miss Thackeray's thar
acters are sweet, charm ng and quite
true to nature. In her writings she Is
always endcavoring to prove that good
produces good, and evil, evil. There is
not . line Of which she need be ashamed;
not . sentiment of which she should
not be proud. But she writes like a
lazy writer who dislikes FER work, and
who allows her own want Of energy to
show itself In her pages.
Miss Broughton on tho other hand. is
full Of cncrgy-though she, too, | think,
BAL become tired oyer her work. She,
however, does not take the trouble to
make her personages stand upright on
the ground. And she has the gift of
making them speak as men and women
do speak. "You beast!'' said Nancy,
sitting On the wall, to the man who was
to be her misunderstanding that she
was speaking to her brother. Now.
Nancy, whether right or wrong. was
Just the girl who would, rs circum-
stances then were, have called her
brother q beast. There is nothing
wooden about any OF Miss Broughton's
novels---in these days so many novels
are wooden! But they are not sweet
savorod as are those OF Miss Ihacheray,
and are, therefore, less true to nature.
In Miss Broughton's determination not
to be mawkish and missish, she has
made her ladies do and say things
which ladies' would not do and say.
They throw themselves at mems heads.
and when they are not accepted only
think how they may throw themselves
again. Miss Bsoughton is still SO
young that ! hope she may live Is
overcome her fault in this dire.ti ,E.

A Dnel Bsswccn Two Brothers.

~ RI - aMEZ 4NE LG
Two brothers, SON Of 4 prominent
Russian family. were students ut the
best college in st. Petersburg, and on
graduation became officers in the same
crack regiment. The young men diff
Tered greatly in their mode Of life from
their comrades, and only seldom joined
in tho customary reyelries of the jeun-
csse dorcc. Three years after leaving
the regiment the elder brother married
a young and beautiful girl OF excellent
family. Gradually however, the newly
welded pair becaxae cs;ranged in af-
lection, so much that after three
years Of married lie they occupied
separate rooms. In the meantime the
Younger brother fell in love with his
sistcr-in-law. At FIST, the young wife,
surrounded by a host of admirers, was
not aware Of the passion she had kind
led in her observation-disclosures heart, but
soon she, in turn, experienced toward
her adoror q lovo SO passionate that
she was unable to struggle against it.
The young husbands jealousy was
rightfuIly aroused. Terrible scencs en-
sued, followed by mutual recrimina-
ton, q challenge, and finally a duel
between the brothers. The elder-the
outraged husband--was wounded in
the side; the younger, who had wrong
cd his brother, remained untouched by
the latter's bullet. Inc last act Of this
life's drama, begun SO t~ragically, was
that Of . farce. After the duel, the
wounded man was brought into the
city and then taken abroad, whore the
combined care Of his wife and brother
snatched him from the jaws Of death.
Out Of gratitude for this he allowed his
wife to secure a divorce from him, tax.
ing all the blame On his shoulders.
This she did, and then married hei

A Big Diamond.

September Goth. and from that day un-
iii the 18th instant the stone was con-
stantly on the wheel, excepting on Sum
days and holidays. The gem as per-
fected Is very brilliant, though it is not
perfect in color. having u marked yell
lowish tint. In the quality Of clear
moss, however. the stone is almost per-
feet. the only blcmish being SO slight
as to be perceived with difficulty by the
naked eye. As Gu it weighs seventy

cushion shape, with fifty-six facets, its
size being nearly a full inch across aud
its depth q little more than fiye-eighths
OF an inch. The cutting is mathema-
tically correct, each facet being \ per-
feet ijgHre, while NJ the angles are SO
nicely related 10 each other as to secure

The American hog who always takes as many seats as possible upon the cars was neatly rebuked, 8 few mornings since, on the 7.15 a. m. train east by one of our wholesale boot and shoe dealers. Said hog was sitting beside a lady while his feet covred the seat in front of him, which was turned so as to face his own. The boot and shoe man attempted to turn the back of the seat on which the hogs feet were reposing. "Plenty of seats in the rear," said the hog, grufay 1T thought wouldn't go any further replied the boot and shoe man, mildly. "Well, another gentleman will soon occupy that seat 7" ''He will want but one seat-Ill take the other," the boot man still mildly replied.
