to be rescued from the oblivion into which
he has fallen. A prominent southern

Edward Atkinson, the famous Stats
tician, lives in Boston, and attended all
the meetings of the International Typo
graphical union when they lately held
their convention in that city. He told the
members some unpalatable truths about
the rights of laboring men to defend them
selves from rabid assemblies banded osten-
sibly against capital. These remarks, while
they did not endear him to his listeners,
made him in the end more friends than
enemies.
Mr.. Atkinson is a natural statistician
He is devoted to argument, and will en-
deavor, when on a steamer or train when
travelling, to draw a stranger into discus
sion if he has no friend with him. Pencil
and note book are always in Mr.. Akin
sons hand, and he is constantly jotting
down data which are to be verified and later
marshaled up in argument. The appear
ance of the statistician is thoroughly New

nervous in manner.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1o-The high praise
awarded to Mr.. Edward Harrigan as a

some comment about that very successful
writer Of plays. Mr.. Howells, in a recent
article in his department in Harper's Mag

kind which promises the highest things

not very high one, but nevertheless he

who have gained reDute as successful au-

OF course, to be praised by Mr.. Howells,
and in his critical department of the maya
zine with which he is associated, is very
great triumph for any writer, but it is
singulsrly conspicuous victory for Mr..
Harrigan. When he began, fifteen or six
