Will Carleton's last volume of poems
has been severely handled by New
York critic, and western friend of the
poet remarks that "the critic Is a poor,
shallow, Shiny lizard, beyond doubt
some widowed, corpse-faced creature,
begotten in the shadow of Trinity church
and reared IN the tony but sunless and
sinking retreats of a city where sewer
gas furnishes literary inspirations and
dinners at 8 p. m. furnish the brain
food" While this is powerful talk, 1t
does not improve the quality of the po-
etry nor Injure the critic.

cause her to break Jsy)l.
Mrs. Walkup's testimony is very
straightforward and bears the imprint
of truth in every word she utters.
She must sometimes wish that instead
of endeavoring TO make q complexion
she had left her beauty unsdorned.

There seems to be change in the Anglo.
Russian difficulty. Another demand has been
made by England for military inquiry on
the spot in regard to General Komaroffs action
at Penjdeh. Russia has expressed a willingness
TO have a mixed commission examine into the
reports of General komaroff and Sir Peter
Lumsden, and decide which is correct. The
demand of England has already been made
once and declined by Russia and If the latter
has agreed to a mixed commission it is prob
ably only 10 gain additional time for prepare
tons. Meanwhile there are rumors that Gen.
eral Eomarof has made an advance. and that
another engagement with the Afghans has
taken place. There IS also a rumor which
comes by way of Paris, that Germa ny has offered
to mediate between the two powers and that
the offer has been accepted. Neither of these
rumOrs can be relied upon, and the strained
relations which have been sustained for the
past week may be said to continue. The Bos-
phOre EglDtien affair is still unsettled and IL Is
stated that the French charge daffaires has
arrived at Alexandria. and will depart for
France tomorrow unless an adjustment is
effected. IL looks as If the crisis had arrived
Mr.. Gladstone will to-day be called upon to
make full explanation OF the correspondence
between the two nations, when the vote on the
war credit comes up. and it does not appear
that a declaration of war can be DELAYED beyond
tomorrow.

in with the marines and preventing the insur-
gents from burning and pillaging as they did at
Colon. should have suddenly withdrawn the

would have held the place until the arrival of
