In "Twixt Old Times and New"
Baron de Malortic describes remark
able incident which occurred during
Maximiian's unfortunate reign in
Mexico. During a hasty retreat the
horse Of Lopez, one of Maximilian's
officers, was killed, and he found himself
on the ground helpless and at the
mercy Of the pursuers. Seeing his
captain in this sad plight, one of the
men, an Indian, not Mexican, for the
Mexicans all passed him in wild haste
without taking notice Of his piteous ap-
peal, stopped his horse and told him to
jump up behind--an invitation he had
not to renew second time, for with
the agility of q cat Lopez took his seat
behind the Indian, and using four
spurs instead of two, they soon re-
joined the others. But the double
load was almost too much for the little
beast, and after time it slackened its
pace and threatened to break down.
Seeing that the pursuers were gaining
ground, Lopez coolly drew his revolver,
and treacherously, from behind. blow
ing out the brains of the brave fellow
to whom he owed, if not his life, at any
rate his liberty, he threw him dowr
and continued alone his wild retreat.

The Next Post-Laureate.

Who will succeed Lord Tennyson in
the office poet-laureate is question
which the English periodical press is
already discussing. 1t is generally
acknowledged that it would be better
to abolish the office altogether than to
confer it, as it was often conferred in
the last century, upon men possessed
of no pronounced and enduring claims
to lyrical distinction. Tennyson him
self received, as he has told us, athis
laurel greener from the brows of him
who uttered nothing base" = meaning,
of course, from William Wadsworth.
The next wearer Of the laurel wreath
should, like his last two predecessors,
satisfy not merely the whim of Queen
Victoria, but the taste and Judgment
of the English-speaking world. There
is reason to fear, however, that the
choice of her Majesty will not fall on
either of the names to which the suf-
frages Of the cultivated public would
most willingly award the crown. OF
living English poets, Swinburne and
William Morris (the author of Jason, +"
the Earthly Paradise" and aSigurd,
the Volsung'), unquestionably stand,
next to Tennyson, pre-eminent. But
Morris has ruined his chances of the
laureateship by becoming rank and
aggressive socialist, and Swinburne's
republicanism is of too sanguinary q
hue to make him acceptable to sover-
eigns. We can scarcely imagine the
| eulogist Of Mazzini celebrating a
queens birthday. .-and he seems to have
| proclaimed beforehand his opinion that
| for him the duties of laureate would
be irksome and incongruous. He has
said in so many words
| have no spirit of skill with equal fingers
| At sign to sharpen or to slacken strings;
| keep no time OF song with gold-perched singer
And chirp Of linnets on the wrists Of kings.
But because the author Of @Erec.
theus" and "Bothwell' and Songs Be
fore Sunrise would, perhaps. refuse
the laureateship is no reason why il
should not be offered to him, in recog
milton Of his rare gift of melody. The
prevailing opinion in London, however
is that Tennyson's successor will bt
neither Swinburne nor William Nor
ris, but another Morris, one Lewis BY
name, who has scarcely been heard d
on this side of the Atlantic. It is said
in England Of his principal work
aThe Epic Of Hades. = that man wht
should offer to bet that he could reat
4 it through would find hundreds O
takers. We doubt if there are tel
cultivated Americans who can quot,
from the poem just named. Th'
author, nevertheless, is reported to b,

Two PERSONS may be born at the

the opposite direction gains day. We
will suppose, then, that the two men in
