The House. ny THE MEDLAR TREE. by
Giovanni Varga. Translated by Mary A.
Craig. Harper Bros. West A. Johnston.
To all who have read Mr.. Howells' intro
duction to ~ Malavoglia." an additional
word - unnecessasy-unless one happens
10 disagree with him-for this criticism OF
Mr. lIowells' is, indeed. TO use his own
words concerning 1.-The Medlar Tree,
one Of the most perfect pieces OF work.
manship we knOw--not as criticism,
however, but as panegyric. Mr..
lIowells has found one whom he esteems
master in his chosen field Of realism, and
he sOws reverent, admiring, almost ador-
ing head. He tells us that all who are
worth interesting must ind a rare and
tender pleasure in this simple story Of an
Italian fishing village" Unless our taste
is hopelessly at fault the number OF those
not ''worih interesting" will be legion. and
the sackcloth and ashes recommended by
Mr.. IiOwalls, for those who prefer kipling's
sketches. much in requisiton. We are
cOnfOrted to know "bad taste Is bad
thing, but IL is not sinful"
Much that Mr.. Howells says is undoubt-
eddy true. When he speaks OF "the fire
shades and delicate tones here rs in the
most complex life,' we are with him. but
when he writes, "Ile (Nerga) seems to have
no more sense OF authority or supremacy
concerning the persOnages than any one
Of them would have in telling the
story. and he has completely freed
himself from literOsity as the most unletter-
ed among them,r we are not sure. To us
il seems the denial of every perception be-
yOnd the peasant mind is somewhat
premeditated, and where he adds, 1.-The
transactions Of the story is the
highest degree dramatic;" it is too
much. The family lite Of peasant
ground down by poverty and usury, when
faithfully depicted. is far more apt TO be
dun and mOnotOnOus than dramatic" and
this narrative is told as one OF the jewellers
of Trezza might have told it, simply II is
true, but with tiresOmeness OF detail and
an abundance Of idiom, which are far from
attractive.
The only way in which to settle the ques-
ton with satisfaction is to read for your
YOU can-and see. 1t is ably written |
and those who enjoy it may take Mr.. How |
els word for it. that those who do not ar
not ''wOrth interesting"

DIR. Blaokford, superintendent Of the
Western Lunatic Asylum, in his annual re-
port to the Legislature, makes many valua-
bic suggestions. He calls attention TO the
necessity Of providing suitable residences
Tor the medical officers and their families,
within the asylum grounds. The increased
number of patients renders the duties Of the
assistant physicians more eXacting, and re-
quires closer attention. DIR. Blackford
recommends an administration building"
for the accommodation Of the officers and
their families, such as are used in other
asylums.

which will ever be an oasis in mem
orys desert drear in reviewing the
pleasant occasions in the company s
history. Almost the entire Company
were present, besides a number of
other guests, and toasts to the
health of the newly wed couple,
songs, recitations, and the popping
of champaign made the occasion one
of good cheer until 'mine host inyi-
ted the assemblage into the elegant
dining hall, where on an L shaped
table running the length of two
sides of the dining hall was spread a
banquet fit for the Gods. The ia
BILE was beautifully decorated with
alternate pyramids of choice flowers
and ornamented cakes and was
loaded with repast varying from
the substantials to the rarest delica-
cy, fruits, etc. While the company
were standing W. P. Ewing, Esq,
in behalf of the company, in a few
well chosen remarks presented MIR.
and Mrs. Kollmey with a beautiful
swinging silver water service, as
token of the esteem in which he was
held by the Company, of which at
present he is an honored member,
and of which he has held every posi-
ton of honor and trust in the Com
pany. Mr.. Kollmey responded in
language expressive of his high ap-
PROBATION of the compliment, and
invited the guests to be seated at
the banquet table, and for an hour
there was feast and flow of spark
ling wine that gave zest to the cons
versation of the happy assemblage
and animated them into mirthful
and merry making witicisms that
msde it indeed feast of reason and
flow of soul" After supper the
gentlemen retired to the back yard
where was arranged a long table, a
key of beer, and cigars by the box,

At the Santa Fe yards Wednesday
morning a white brakeman by the
name of Brown, and black boy by
the name of Green had little dis

pet names such as sob dirty BID
ETC., until the white Brown decided
to mix little carmine with the
black Green, which he did by catch
ing him by the throat and humping
his head against a brick wall until
the carmine came from a wound
over the eye. The black Green be-
came enraged at the sight of the
carmine produced by the unlawful
mixing of white, Brown and black
Green, and made complaint to con
stable Boyd who arrested Brown.
