Thackeray was agreeable, though he
cared very little to please, and avoided all
effort, thus making himself generally
unpopular
George Eliot told Miss Hosmer that
every sentence in her novels came from
her mind complete and stood in her pub
lished books Just as she first set them
down with her pen but she added. "The
birth Of each sentence costs me a pang."
Miss HOsmer thinks this especially true
OF her later tales-certainly of middle
march, and says she has seen many of
this novelists manuscripts and they APP
pear wholly without correction. She
also says that the author Of Adam Bede"
was quite given TO affectation, an I'M
usual trait in those who are truly great.

here are quite low, but in order to lower
them TO the popular level demanded by the
player folk the proprietor is obliged to cur
tail expenses. AS consequence, he has two
walters to attend to dining room full of

this account The other day one of the
two colored walters attended table of eight
in the dining room, and Of course he spent
considerable time in the kitchen while ac-
cumulating the eight orders. Every one at
the table was kicking about the long wait as
the colored man came in. He carried on his
left hand elevated over his woolly head, a
tray full of dishes, and just US he reached
the table his foot slipped, and down went the
load with a crash to the floor Surveying it

Mr. Browning used often to speak to
friends of the only occasion on which he ever
spoke to the queen. Some years ago the late
dean of W estminster and Lady Augusta
Stanley invited him among others TO tea at
the deanery to meet the queen, and a small
select party were present, Carlyle being one
The company, as was benefittiug in the pres
ence of their sovereign, were respectfully 81

addressed. TIE queen began to talk to Car
lyle and expressed her opinions on some mat

contradicted her and silenced her As the
queen left the room she stopped at the door
to speak to MIR. Browning and say goodbye
remarking: What a very extraordinary
man Mr. Carlyle is. Docs he always talk
like thats never met Kim BEFORE MIR.

college by a woman. St. Louis today
bears testimony to her gratitude and
generosity by having an ample share Of

Benton. Miss Hosmers first purely inn
aginative piece was done in the little
garden studio at her home in Water
town, and was entitled "Hesper." it
being alike the child Of her poetic con-
ception and Of her own handiwork.
But the Eternal City beckoned Miss
Hosmer, and the year 1852 found her in
John Gibson's studio in Rome receiving
that artists training and winning his
interest. Gibson had lived in Rome for
thirty-four years and was known to
every one by the musical name of Signor
Giovanni. Miss Hospner subsequently
was called ia signorina, and in cap and
blouse worked in a small room formerly
occupied by Canova. Financial reverses
came to her father about this time. but
this calamity seemed only to stimulate
our sculptor's industry and effort.
There is scarce any greater pleasure to
be enjoyed than Miss Hosner's CONVEX
sation when she becomes personally
reminiscent. Her face glows and kim
dies as the memory of some merry occur
renee or incident presses. "a man is
known by the company he keeps, aye,
and woman also, and who can intro
duce MS to SO distinguished circle as
can Harriet Hosmer: Drawn to her

Miss Hosmer. in her early days, mum
bered tine weird Nathaniel Hawthorne
among them. He at that time was
writing his Marble Faun," and knew
Rome thoroughly. While acting as her
guide to many places mentioned in this
book Of his, Hawthorne assured her that
the characters of Miriam and Hilda were
wholly fictitious.
Miss Hosmer says that Hawthorne
was painfully shy and silent when
among strangers, but with group of
chosen friends he revealed a fund of
anecdote and wit rarely reached and
hOD tdoliy IloootAlt a tIoWus however,
seemed to render him dumb. On one
occasion when she was present, Haw-
thorne was called upon to make return

simply said to the large audience as

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The famous case of
Prof. Charles A. Briggs. of Union Theologi-
cal Seminary. which has been agitating tho
entire Presoy terrain Church for q year and
n half. was brought up again this morning
at the regular meeting OF the New York
Presby terry. which convened in the Scotch
Presby terrain Church. The general assem-
bly,. which met in Portland. Ore, last May,
refused to accept the presbytery's dismiss
sal Of the charged against Professor Briggs,
and ordered the presby terry to proceed with
the trial. At the June meeting the presby.
terry acknowledged the receipt of the order.
and said that 1t would be carried out in the
fall. But little has been heard of the contro-
versy during the summer, for the principal
actors in il have been away from the city.
Professor Briggs has spent most of bis lime

DR.. Thompson said that he was not in favor

He moved that the presbytery take up the
case In the audicnce-room of the Scotch

the question ~ to whether the bearing
should be public. He favored having
closed doors an.. wanted all reports
given to the press formulated in the SEES

he favored open doors. 1t was decided
that the public SHOULD be admitted, but
that If they made demonstration like they
had previously lone the gallery would be
cleared.
