ArchleaCOn Farrar is once more on tie WaIpdti

criticised him and his writings, but against critics

Then if ever was the moment for charity toward
all. but | suppose the Archdcacon bethought him
self that Browning had been criticised. and that
Brownings present fame was good argument for
the yyrongheadcdness and impotence of critics in
general SO lie went for the critics, and the Ian
guage he used sounds oddly from archdlaconal
lips. "All who took their views secondhand from
the newspapers, said the venerable Archdcacon-
he is venerable by courtesy" might learn by the
case OF Browning and Wordsworth, and Of Keats,
Shelley, Coleridge and others, - despsc the in
competence, insoence, and often the maliciOusness
of contemporary criticism. Reading old reviews,
one stood amazed at the ignorance and arrogance
with which these men were treated by fppant
mediocr.ty and pretentiouS cleycrncss."
IL is however. 20 be remembered in eXtenuaton
of this uncercal violence, that Archdcacon Far

THE HORSE AUcTlONEER.

Il Piano,

In an Emergency He Is Called in to Sell
Piano.
The regular auctioneer was i'll and in
the emergency the auctioneer from the
horse stables across the street consented
to act in his place. A big crowd of peo-
pie filed the room to bid on a lot of
household goods that had been adver-
tised for sale. A piano was the first
thing offered.
Nov, ladies and gents" said the horse
auctioneer, as he mounted the block, 81

cent pianer-forte. 1 have its pedigree
here, which will be furnished to the
purchaser, an he will be surprised at
what he has bought. would call yer
particular attention to its color-a beau
tiful mahogany bay, one of the most
beautiful and desirable colors dat kin be
selected. Dis pianer hasn't got a spot or
blemish. 1t is warranted to work dou-
BILE or single. Examine it closely for
ringbone, SPAWN or quarter crack. Will
some one in the audience please step to
de front and test its wind?'
a young man who combed his hair
pompadour and had a wild look in his
eyes elbowed through the crowd, and,
taking seat on the stool, ran his fingers
over the keys, then through his pompa-
dour, hitched the stool little closer,
found one of the pedals and began to
thump out a tune.
''What do you think of dat lick, ladies
an gents?" said the auctioneer, as he
looked triumphantly around the room.
Ever see anything purifier den dat in yer
lives? Never skip or break. Dat
gaits good fer 2:20 anywhere. Now,
what am I bid? Remember, whoever
buys dis pianer buys pedigree yard
long"
The ladies in the crowd looked at the
auctioneer in some wonderment, and TAX
ing this for silent admiration he directed
his remarks to them directly:
Now, ladies, here's pianer dat kin
recommend to yer on de dead square.
Dis is single foot instrument dat doesn't
shy or scare at de cars. Jest as easy as
rockin' chair. Gentle as a lamb.

The young man on the stool "let 'er go
again, this time pounding out "Where Is
My Wandering Boy Tonight" and sew

Nov, ladies and gents" said the auc-
tioneer, when the young man paused fol-
breath, "dats performance dat speaks
for itself. Remember dis pianer is jest
off of grass. Hasn't been handled fol
six months. What am bid2'
But there was no bid.
The ladies went out of the room by
twos, threes and fours, and left only the
men to enliven the occasion by calling
out, "Let FER go once under the saddle,

Everything indicates lively time in
wheeling affairs this year.
Mrs. Pembroke is the first lady cycler
this season. She has selected Columbia

Van Wagner is reported as saying that
he will attempt to ride from Boston to Chi
cago in ten days. This means a 100-miles-
aday clip.

a dark navy blue uniform and will appear
in them on first club run.
Miss Lily Williams, the professional BIZ
cyclienne, has arrived in this country, and
is anxious to meet any female cyclist for
any distance for any purse up to 81, 900.
Miss Williams claims to have made 100
miles on the track in hours, 20 min, in
Paris, France. Quite tidy record for

council should lease Washington square to
the Cycling Club association and thereby
give encouragement to outdoor athletic
sports which have been so badly neglected
the past year or two.
Tom Stevens, while in England, was one
of the guests of the Savage club, of Lon

first of the newspaper correspondents to
come up with with Stanley, and he mar
rated among other things how Stanley dis
posed of the Egyptian officer who was con-
victed of plotting to hand the expedition
over to the Mahdi. Stanley, who was suf-
fering from acute gastritis, was carried
out of his tent on chair, and turning to
the traitor said: 1--WE have come through
thousands of difficulties to save you and
yours; meanwhile you have plotted to des-
troy US. Depart to Cod Saying these
words he pointed to a tree, to Dough of

An Interesting Issue In RailrOading
Annals.

An Interesting Issue In Railr0ading
Annals.
The railroad commissioners have appoint
ed next Friday, at 10 a. M. at the Bridgeport
court house. for hearing upon the petition
of the Consolidated road for the official con-
domination of the piece of Housatonic railroad
land over which the former roads trains pass
In Bridgeport. The hearing will be of
peculiar interest aside from the Importance
which previous disputes and it's situation
has given to the land in question; because.
although the condemnation of land in favor
Of railroad Is by no means an uncommon
thing, the present case involves the condemn
ing of the land of one railroad in favor of
another railroad. A principle is thus brought
mp which has very infrequently, If ever, been
brought to an issue In this state.
A Russell snow pillow, of the latest inn
proved pattern. has been ordered recently on
the Central New England, to cost about
5000. With this It is expected that the
road will be kept clear during the hardest
storms. The pillow will be about fourteen
feet high, with broad point of ten feet
three inches above the rail. The width of
the pillow is the same AZ that of the tracks,
and In the rear are wings which can be
opened and closed ~ may be convenient.
The pillow is being built at Portland, Me.
The foundation of the second section of
the new round house of the New York Provi-
dence and Boston railroad at New London Is
being laid as rapidly as possible, and 1t will
soon be ready for the Iron work. In the
first section, now nearly finished. four large
pits have been built for locomotives.
