thaniel Hawthorne since his death, but the only book worthy to be called his biography has recently appeared This is Nathaniel Hawthorne and His Wife" by Julian Flaw thorne. The author has long had the work in hand and there is no room for doubt that he has done more than all other writers put together to make the personality of his father publicly known and easily understood. That personality was as rare and radiant one as the modern world has seen, and it was only by skillful use of the materials which MT. Hawthorne possessed that it could be made vivid and symmetrical to strangers. MT. Hawthorne's store of materials was vast and exhaustive. He has certainly produced a fine work and one which will be read with deep interest by the increasing number of admirers of the author of 1.-The Scarlet Let ter" Published by James R.

 Emigrants are pouring into California at the rate of 1,500 to 1,800a week. By far the greatest number settle in southern Cali fornia, organize colonies, and engage in fruit and wine growing. A large per cent are men of means and even of wealth, who go there mainly for health, but combine business also The poorer class of emigrants go into the northern counties, the agricultural re- gions; and about 20 per cent. of the total number go up to Oregon and Washington Territory. The population of California is now about 100000.

The question of tombstone inscriptions is
 very important for the public in Paris,
 There exists permanent committee, con- posed of cemetery inspectors, whose special permission is necessary before an inscription can be placed tombstone. The inscrip- tions themselves are source of trouble and anxiety to heirs and exec cutors, inasmuch as the wording laid down by testator in his will is sometimes of such nature that the committee refuse to sanction it's reproduction on his tombstone. A case in point arose last month, when an old man of SC venty-fve, Felix Durijet, once great celebrity in the culinary art died in Paris. He had been as
 sistant to the head cook of Louis Philippe, and afterward chief of the famous Freres Provencaux Restaurant, in which establish ment he amassed wealth, which was further increased by successful specu1ations on the Bourse. Instead of the usual headstone to his grave, he required of his heirs that they should erect marble column, merely in scribed with his name, and supporting frame containing movable board. 'Eyery day." said the will, "my heirs shall afix on said board, and in legible manner, reef pc for the kitchen. For this purpose I leave list of 365 recipes, which will be found in my cash box. In this manner, while paying a visit to the graves of relatives, people de- sirous of acquiring information may obtain
 it in the cemetery" So far the clause had
 nothing very terrible about it; but the fol- lowing rider threw the heirs into a cold precipitation: "Should my heirs fail to carry out said clause, the whole estate shall revert to the public charities!' The Com
 mittee on Inscriptions unanimously rejected the "broRren column sur1nounted with the frame containing recipe for each day." and the notary instructed with the execution of
 the will refused to put the heirs in possession of their inheritance. The latter had nothing left but to submit the case to the courts. It will soon be before the civil tribunal

 Under the constitution of the State, where no candidate for governor has a ma jority of votes, this fact is reported to the general assembly on the first day of it's ses- sion, and then said assembly, on the second day of their session, by joint ballot of both houses, shall proceed, without debate, to choose a governor from list of the names of the two persons having the greatest number of votes." Under this law the general as- sembly will elect MT. Harrison governor on Thursday, January Sth. But in October, 1875, an amendment to the constitution was adopted providing for the biennial election of State officers. The section of this amend ment specifies that the State officers there after to be elected biennially in November ''shall respectively hold their offices for two years from and after the Wednesday follow ing the first Monday of the succeeding Janu- ary.n Under this law Govern WoralIer was inaugurated on the Sd of January, 1883, that being the Wednesday following the first Monday of January. If Governor Walters two years are measured by the day of the month, the 3d, his term would expire five days be- fore the general assembly will elect his sue cessor. If the two years are measured from the Wednesday following the first Monday of January then Governor Walters term will expire on the 7th of January, one day before MT. Harrison is elected. The question seems to be therefore whether there will not be an interim between Waller and Harrison during which the State will have no constitutional chief executive. Probably, as the Hartford Courant remarks, this little discrepancy will be got over by the continuance in office of Governor Waller until his successor has been duly qualified.

Superstition and Crocodiles.

In different sections of the country,
writes Madagascar correspondent OF
the Springfield Republican, | found that
the people differed somewhat in their
treatment of the crocodile. Some tribes
never harm them, while Others retaliate
upon them whenever human beings are
devoured-life for life. The inhabitants
living on the shores of lake called
ltasy are accustomed to make proclama-
tion co the crocodles of the lake. The
sorcerer making the proclamation stands
on the shore near the water, and stretch
ing out his arms over the lake, cries out
in a loud voice, warning the crocodiles,
in the name of some supreme being,
called Andriamanitra, that any deaths
among the people caused by them will
be duly revenged by the killing of as
many orocodiles in return. The well
disposed crocodiles are then warned to
keep out of the way, as the people have
no quarrel with them, but only with
their evil-minded relatives whe have
taken human life. This superstition
relative to the crocodiles does not seem
to extend 10 the crocodils's eggs, for in
many OF the villages they may be found
for sale in the market places. Among
the people the eggs are considered
great delicacy. aud, indeed, they are
very good, but it was some time before |
could overcome my scruples and indulge
in them freely. Dogs have very saga

the vicinity had congregated at the
place where the noise was being made,
