In his last days Macaulay was griev-
ously vexed by the modern penalty of
fame. Anyone who thought he had
genius or grievance wrote to him
either to advance or extinguish it, as
the case might be. The historian in
his journal mentions the clergyman
who wrote to him three times to ask
what the allusion to St. Cecilia meant
in the account of the trial of Warren
Hastings. A Scottish gentleman, who
wished to publish novel, wrote that
he would be glad to come to London
and submit his manuscript to the
Judgment of the essayist, if the latter
would remit him $3.50. A cattle paint
er appealed to him, "as he loved the
fine arts" to hire or buy him COW to
paint from. A schoolmaster in Chel-
tenham, who published a wretched
pamphlet on British India, full OF er-
rors, received courteous note from
Macaulay pointing out two gross mis-
takes, whereupon the schoolmaster
issued a new edition, which was adver-
tised as "revised and corrected by
Lord Macaulay." These are the PEN
alties of popularity, and, as the story
now goes, Lord Tennyson is suffering
acutely from the same ailllctlon. He
has been obliged, it is sald, to give up
answering, even by secretary, his null
tiiudinous correspondents, and SO con.
signs the manuscript they send him to
bis private Balaam box,

The Rise and Fall Of the Baltic.

An examination of the series Of
water-marks, set in 1850 all around the
Swedish coasts, in order to settle a
dispute between the Swedish astrono-
mer Celcius and some Germans. as to
whether the level Of the Baltic has
been rising or sinking. shows, says
Nature, that both parties were right.
The gauges have been inspected regu-
larly at short intervals, and the result
Of the observations have just been
made public by the Swedish Academy
of Science. 1t appears from that,
during the past lS4 years, the north
ern part of Sweden has risen feet, the
rate of elevation gradually declining
southwark, being only about ! foot at
the Maze aud nothing at Bornholm,
which remains at the same level as In
the middle Of the last century. The
general average result would be that
the Swedish coast has risenabout sc
inches during The past lS4 years,

from the cattle disease. In connection
with the state board of health precau-
tions against the cholera should be
taken. The supreme court commits
sion and the new court of appeals at
Kansas City are relied upon TO clear
up the docket Of the supreme court.
Legislation to make the amendment
establishing the Kansas City court of
appeals effective should be taken at
once. The state MALTA should be no
longer neglected and reasonable APP
preparations should be made. Costs
in criminal cases should be diminished.
Appropriations should be made for the
payment of examining and visiting
committees appointed by thogovernor.
An appropriation of 5000 for the fish
commission and $1,000 for the con-
struction of an aquarium car should
be made. Missouri should be repre-
sentcd at the international charities
and corrections conventions to be held
at Rome, Italy, the coming year. The
legislature should assist the bureau of
labor statistics with needed appropri-
ations. The report of the register of
lands shows that much work has been
done, and an abstract of the business
of that Office is given. An inebriate
asylum should be provided at some
point in the state.
THE COURT OF APPEALS.
Speaking of the court OF appeals,
the governor says:
The amendment to the constitution
establishing the Kansas City court of
appeals having been adopted at the
late election, it devolves upon this as
sembly to enact such legislation as
will make the amendment operative.
Section of the amendment reads as
follows:
"The state shall provide a suitable
court room at Kansas City in which
the Kansas City court of appeals shall
hold its sessions also n clerks Office
and furnish offices for the Judges y
As the court is required by the amend
ment to commence its labors on the
first Monday in March next, bill
should be passed without delay in con-
formity with the requirements Of Sec
ton 8, regulating the fees of the clerk
and providing for the appointment
and compensation of the necessary
officers of the court and appropriating
a sufficient amount Of monty to sup
ply the court and clerks Office with
all tho necessary records and station
ary.
As there is a lack of such text books
as the court may require in the law
library at Kansas CITY, | recommend
the appropriation of $1,000 to be used
for the purpose of purchasing such
books under the direction of tho pre-
siding judge of the court.

Indications are not lacking that the

Table Etiquette.

Do not keep Others waiting for you
either at the beginning or close of a
meal, Don't sip soup from the tip but
from the side of q spoon. BE careful
not to spill or drop anything on the
table cloth. Keep your plate clean;
do not heap all sorts of food on it at
once. In passing your plate to be re-
filled retain your knife and fork.
When asked for dish, do not shove,
but hand it. While drinking do not
look around. Instruct the servant to
hand the cup at the left side, so that
it may be received with the right
hand. Do not drink tea or coffee with
out first removing the teaspoon from
the cup to the saucer. Use tho knife
for cutting only; never put it to the
lips or the mouth. Break your bread
into small pieces and rest them on
your plate while spreading. Do not
eat too fast; beside giving one the ap-
pearance of greed, it. is not healthy.
If you find anything unpleasant in
your food, put it aside as quietly as
possible, without drawing the atten-
ton of others to it. Do not open the
lips or make any unnecessary noise in
chewing. Do not touch the head.
Do not rest the elbows on the table.
Be Thoughtful of, and attentive to, the
wants of those about you. Converse
on subjects pleasant to those near you.
DO not say anything not intended for

BARTHoLDI's statue of Liberty En-
Tightening the World" was the other
day inspected by Victor Hugo in Paris.
The sculptor had invited several
friends to meet the great apostle of
liberty, one of whom, an Italian, on
seeing Victor Hugo regarding the
statue, said, There | see two giants
regarding each other" which gentle
0attery was not lost on the poet, whose
capacity for assimilating such diet is
infinite. On taking leave Victor Hugo
once more went to the statue, and
cried out: "The sea, the vast, the ag-
itated ocean, tells of the union between
two reconciled great countries" 1t
has been suggested that these words
'hould be carved upon the base of the
statue, but The Pail Mall Gdzctte hopes
for Victor Hugo's sake that tho idea
will not be carried out.
