and p'easantly inquired:

Slightly taken back by Tommy's indis-

nothing for while, but finally, deciding
to impress the youngster to a slight ex-

Sat ON the Horses Head.

"Even emperors and kings" says the
London Court journal, "are liable to
have their horses break down occasion-
ally, as happened to the German EN-
peror and the Italian King on their way
to Charlottenburg. One OF the horses in
their carriage was affected by the heat
and fell down, and their Majesiies got
out and had to unharness him. The King
and the Emperor appear to have had to
do the usual thing, and his Majesty of
Italy eat on the horses head"

his command from being massacred. He
has been oashiered for fraudulent pay &C
counts and is now living, broken-down
man. Recently he was arrested in Penn
sylvania for threatening his wife. The
other unfortunate is Lieutenant Colonel
George Forsyth, Brigadier General by
orevet. He won his brevet for gallant
and meritorioas services during the re-
bellion, and worked up until he wss at
the head of the Lieutenant Colonels. and
next in the line for promotion. lie, too
was sentenced TO be cashiered for dupIi

An Anecdote of LOngfeliOw.

New York paper, in some pleasant
gossip about Mr.. Longfellow, tells q
story of the way he treated the charge
of plagiarism against the Indian poem,
"Hlawatha," in following closely both the
form and substance of The Kalevala, the
national epic of Finland. When they be-
gau to appear, ne shove a profound in
difference on the subject; but before long
his publisher thought best to call his at
tentlon to them, and suggested thas a
reply from the poet be written. "Weli,
III think abort it," said Mr.. Longfellow,
and there the matter dropped. The
press continued TO echo and re echo tie
charge; and the publisher then called on
the poet, say ing. Really, Mr.. Long fellow,
| think 1t is high time this charge was
answered" Again Longfelow said "Pll
See about it" adding, quietly, GLOW is the
book seliing?" "Oh, wonderfully WE'LL"
said the publisher. Better than my
other books ?" "Oh, much better"
and he named the figures. Shortly
after this interview (Mr. LongfelIow still
keeping si!ence), the Tribune came out
with almost page of broadside on the
subject. The publisher was now really
excited. He called on the poet gain.
at will not do" he said, vey decidedly,
so let this thing go on any longer"
How does the book SELL" asked Long
fellow. "AmazeIngl, the sale is already
equal 70 the combined sales of your other
books" "Then," said Longfellow, 81
think We ought TO be thankful to tn, Sc
critics. Let them talk. Seems to me
they are giving US a good deal of gratu-
itous advertising. Better let them alone"
And let alone they were. The fact that
at that time there were no existing trans
lation into Englisn which would enable
readers to make comparisons, rendered
his silence comparatively safe. Now
that complete translation is pub: shed
IN fine and popular form by Alden,
readers will have justifiable curiosity to
investigate, and see wherein the resem-
blance lies. And, as commonly is true
IN comparing originals ard limitations, it
will be found that great as is the merit of
Long fellows work, and characteristic of
his own individuality, The Kalevala is q
work OF almost infinitely higher order.
