Referring to the editor of the Star, am
glad to note his recent utterances in refer
ence to Carlyle. l am glad to mark his
courageous adherence to that man of gen
lus at an HOUR when Blanche Tray and
Sweetheart think it smart to bark at him.
Suppose he did have style of his own!
Oh, what style it was. OF his FRENCH
REVOLUTION Justice Mccarthy says ''it is
history read by lightning" Said another
writer, stick pin in a page of the book,
and it will bleed" 1t seems that John
Stuart Mill had contemplated the work,
but gave up the enterprise and turned
over his material to Carlyle, as better
qualified for the undertaking. See ellis
tory of Our Own Times" Vol. /, p. 534.
One chapter in his Revolution Carlyle en-
titles ''Flame Picture. In the livid glare
of that 'tyrannous and damned light"
which every scene of his fearful panorama
casts, pale and dreadful. upoH the others,
where can we distinguish aught but
flame picture" among those frightful
scenes, where in, ''the foul earth taking
fire at last, its vile mephitic elements went
up in volcanic thunder?" Condensation
of glorious and soul-stirring thought
SPOKEN DYNAMITE!-whe-e can it be found
to exceed what is in Carlyle! Take his
pthy narrative of the Franco Spanish at
tack of the British at Gibraltar:-''Neit
er, while the war yet lasts, will Gibraltar
surrender. Not though Crillon, Nassau
Seigen, with the ablest projectors extant
are there, and Prince Condei and Prince
D'Artois have fastened to help Wondrous
leather rooted floating batteries, set afioat
by French. Spanish PACTE-DEFAMILLE,
give gallant summons, to which neverthe-
less Gibraltar ANSWERS PHETONICALLY with
mere torrents of red hot iron, AS If STONE

wish to say much more hereafter of
Carlyle, to the readers of "Pencil Margi
nalia,' and especially do | wish them to
learn that, despite his occasional sulphur
GUS humors he was replete with elephantine
jocularity, such as would set a'roar even
the sedate Herr Won Teufelsdrockh of

toned. Farmers and merchants can get

vised of shipment and receipt of freight.

Some mischievous boys tied on old tin
pan to dogs tail ON Marshall street
near the Medical College Yesterday. The
dog became very much alarmed, so much
so that he started down the flight OF
steps that leads from the Medical College

fell over on one side, the tin pan at the
same time catching strong hold be
tween the steps. The poor animal was
thus left swinging clear of the ground by
