Thackeray's Dross and Gold.

Thackeray composed and wrote his
novels ON long note paper in the most
feminine handwriting. The manuscript
he frequently took down to his publisher
in the crown of his hat, stopping en- route
at the Garrick club to take lunch. His
habit OF composition was methodical.
When writing "Philip on His Way
Through the World" he told, with serio-
comic earnestness, of the necessity he
was under of spinning out more chapters
because it was necessary to put another
story on his house at Kensington Gar
dens, and Philip must do the job.
On that occasion he said, "Do you
know that both Dickens and myself are
imposing on the public, for we have
worked out our own views very much,
and dig out more dross than ore" Thack-
cray was too sensitive to make good
lecturer or take pleasure in appearing
personally before the public, as Dickens
did. He used to say: "Hang this lectur-
ing; it is the most unsatisfactory thing
to me you can imagine. If my audience
does not applaud me feel mortified be-
cause l have failed to interest them. If
they applaud me, feel like a successful
mountebank; it is equally uncomfortable
both ways."-Shefield Telegraph.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-02
The Truth About the Unicorn.

In "Curious Creatures in Zoology" by
John Ashton, the unicorn familiar to
most people from the bottom of plates,
where it is represented as conducting a
perpetual clothes line fight with the
lion, gets good deal of notoriety, and
travellers have sworn up hill and down
dale that they have seen it, and that it
looked something like horse with a
long twisted horn coming out of the
middle of his forehead. The horn was
sure antidote to poison, and Queen
Elizabeth had one that was valued at
what would now be about $3.50, 1000. Of
course it was the horn of narwal, and
they got the story mixed with the rhi-
noceros, which, according to the old cir
Gus story, is an expensive animal, cost
ing piles and piles of money.-Chicagc
Tribune
