Denounces them as Pofseriss.
Justin Mccarthy Follows Parnell with a
Personal Explanation.
LONDON, July 6.

LONDON, July 6.
On the assembling of the House on Friday,
Mr. Parnell made an explanation concerning
certain statements made in the O'Donnell
Times trial He said the upshot of the trial
prevented his testifying on oath aud therefore
he would tender a statement To the House.
He declared he never saw Patrick Eagan's
letter of Feb "a, 1881, which was read at
the trial With view of showing that the
league instigated the the PhGnix Park muir
ders. He was convinced that it was for
gerry. The lmputation against the 0'Learys
MAS false.
In regard TO the letter dated simply Tues
day, saying. II see no objection to your Civ
ing the amount asked for. There isn't the
least likelihood of what YOU apprehend hap
peniGg." Parnell said it might be genuine,
but he could not recollect it. As to Eagaus
letter of October 25, 1881, to Garry, saving.

which the Attorney General stated the police

PORTLAND, July 6.
The proposed excursion of the Maine His
torical Society to Kittery has been aban-
doned in consequence of misunderstanding
on the part of the general ticket agent of the
Boston and Maine Railroad Mr.. Flanders
offered reasonable rate for transportation
from Portland to kittery. but required the
committee of arrangements to guarantee
party of fifty. That was, of course, impos.
sible.
The members of the society are scattered
over the whole state. They cannot be con-
suited and it is impossible for any commit
tee TO know or ascertain their enga sements
or plans for next Wednesday. The condi-
tion imposed by Mr.. Flanders was thought
impracticable and the committee has given
notice that the field day for 1883 Is iniefn-

Luck of the Little Illustrated Paper d

Luck of the Little Illustrated Paper OF
Thirty-six Years Ago.
I have not seen it stated in any of the
sketches of his career that Lester Wallack
was at one time an editor. And although
he was such in a comparative sense only the
fact, nevertheless, is worthy of record. In
1852 the late John Brougham originated and
published a little illustrated paper here, mod
eled after The London Punch. calling it The
Lantern. Its fame was brilliant one.
Once a week all the leading contributors
and artists connected with the paper used to
meet at dinner, as do the artists and editors
OF Punch today, to make suggestions for and
decide upon the principal cartoon to be
printed in the next issue.
The meeting was held every Saturday night
at Windust's, famous restaurant on Park
row, and after every one had dulled their
faculties with well served viands and mud
died their brains with innumerable draughts
of sherry and ale, cigars would be lit, the
brandy decanter passed around and John
Brougham sitting at the head of the table,
with Lester Wallack at the other end, would
call the meeting to order and the business of
the evening would begin. The assemblage
generally broke up at about in the moru-
ing; and when the subject for the cartoon
had at length been decided upon, my old
friend Frank Bellew would go home and
make the design In the editorial duties of
the paper, Lester Wal ack, SO Mr. Brougham
has told me, ssas his right hand man, while
a Mr.. Tinson, whom if am not mistaken,
was carpet manufacturer, with no ability
whatever in art or letters, was chief adviser.
just why these two gentlemen were chosen
it is imposs BILE to say, for their artistic and
pannro1 idoos for infarior thOca of
others in the party. Nevertheless the fact
remains.
The contributors to The Lantern were all
men of genius. They belonged to certain
set that marked sort of Elizabethan era in
the annals of New York journalism. There
was Fitz James o Bren, the author of many
charming bits of verse, and an able literary
and dramatic critic, who enlisted in the
Union army at the breaking out Of the war,
and was killed while serving as aide-de-camp
to Gen. Lander. There was Thomas Dunn
English, one of the few who survive today,
Notwithstanding the bitter attacks made upon
his character by Edgar Allan Poe-attacks
which were calculated to kill outright any
ordinary man. Thomas Power, who was
christened Micawber by the party, both for
his traits in common with, as well as his re-
senblance to that gentleman, and William
North, author of 1.-THE Slave of the Lamp"
and who afterward committed suicide, We're
also members of the Lantern club Thomas
Butler Gum, who stammered SO that no one
could understand what he said, but who was,
nevertheless, very able writer and artist,
was another of The Lanterns leading con-
tributors, and there are many more whose
ghosts 1 might conjure up were it worth
while doing so.-John Preston Beecher in
