Collections of Arms and Armor.

Lord Ashburnham is credited with
having the finest collection of arms and
armor of any private individual in the
United Kingdom. 1t contains, with
very few exceptions, specimens of all
styles and ages ever in use throughout
the world, and is valued at e35, 900. The
finest collection on the Continent of Eu-
rope was owned by the late Count Daun
at Schloss Voltun, its owners seat in
Bohemia, and was the labor of fifty
years, and valued at $4,000. The
finest armory in the world is that which
is found in the tower of London.
The Earl of Warwick at Warwick
Castle possesses one of the finest collec-
tions in the country, while that owned
by Mr.. Henry Irving is, in many re-
spects, unsurpassed. Up to few years
ago the finest collection in the world
was found at Goodrich court, in Here
'fordshire, and belonged to Mr.. Harold
Charles Moffatt. The collection was
created by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick,

began to sing softly to herself. She had

sne sang little song that held the merest
trihe of melody, but which fitted the
twilight and the lake as the birds notes
did. But after a moment she interrupted

MliY He CnuIdn,t.

A certain literary German whose
manner of speaking was extremely de-
hberate, and who disapproved of impet
uosity of any sort under any circum-
stances, had an amusing experience in a
restaurant one day.
He was well known figure among
the patrons of this particular restau-
rant, as he seldom dined anywhere else,
and he generally was served by waiter
who had become used to his way of
speaking; but one day new waiter
took his order, and brought his soup.
''I cannot eat this SOUP" said the gen
tleman slowly, not looking up from his
plate, after he had summoned the waiter
for the second time. The man seized
the offending dish before the customer
could finish the sentence, and vanished
with it. He reappeared in a moment
with another supply of the same soup,
which he placed before the gentleman,
and then stood regarding him with an
anxious face, wondering what could be
the reason the soup remained untasted.
81 cannot eat this SOUP" again slowly
remarked the literary man.
"Why not sir? What is the matterr'
stammered the unhappy waiter, who had
been told he was serving an important
person.
81 cannot eat this soup" said the lit
erary genius calmly for the third time,
"because have not as yet been provided
with SPOON" And looking up to catch
the expression of relief on the walters
face, he indulged in the low chuckle
which was the only expression of amuse-
ment to which he ever gave way

We would wander two and two
Where the smithy's fitting blaze,
Backed by shadows of the night,
Used to tighten up the hills,
Beckon us with fingers bright.

For the door was ever wide.
There was freedom everywhere
Near the forge and close beside
The old anvil, always there
Could be found the mighty man
With the sweat upon his brow.
Giant of all mighty clan
Long gone. not forgotten now.
All, he told us fairy lore
While he pumped his bellows grim,
For we loved the mystic store
Pent up in the smithy dim.
But the sturdy smith is dead,
And the smithy S in decay;
And the ivies climb instead
Ger the bellows torn and gray.
Ah! the ghosts of long ago
Only come to spell the night,
Where the smith we used to know
On the anvil used to snite
With betimes lightet stroke,
When he'd ease his toll to tell
In his way fact or joke
Which he told, oh, me! SO well.

who held his genius in admiration and
his manly qualities in the highest es
TEEN. Mr.. Knight, in a few ters
phrases, sums up the character and
gifts of "Artemus. He says: "He
was a natural interpreter and ex-
ponent of the truest type of dis.
tinctive American humor, and yet
it never even tended to coarseness,
either indirectly or remotely. He led a
merry and somewhat whimsical life, but
his humor had such phase and such a
setting that it at once enlarged and illu-
minated the tender and human side.
He himself was broader and manlier for
it all. 1t did not mar nor narrow him.
1t was not strained or unduly cultivated !;
and SO it ministered naturally and inev-
itably to his own happiness" This is a
fine tribute Mr.. Knight pays to his
friend; and from our knowledge of Mr..
Browne in a guild acquaintanceship,
which natures quickly, we perceive in
it an impartial and just estimate OF the
great humorist's characteristics.

AMUSE MENTS.

The Owl club acquitted themselves
even better last night, in Caste, than on
their first appearance.
Miss Lottie Beaumont as the Marquise
de st. Maur was the only new member
OF the company, and she certainly
strengthened the performance greatly.
She made the part very effective, and
rendered it with fidelity to the character
as indicated by the tenor of the lines.
Nothing can be said of the perform
ance but what was said before except that
several Improvements were notice
able. The few individual faults
which were alluded to on that
occasion were conspicuously absent
last night, the whole action was acceler-
ated, and there was not noticed in the
most trying part, the latter hall of the
last act, any of the awkward pauses
which occurred in the frstperformance
The house was we'll filled; the result
should be most satisfactory to the Unity

for the benefit of the church.
