The lady mayoress of New York en-
joys the distinction of being the only
lady mayoress in England who wears
an official chain of office. AS far back

She accompanies her husband to all
public receptions, not wholly to his de-
light, although his experience several

There are four writer's, and only four,
in the opinion of the British Weekly,
any one of whom might fifty succeed
Lord Tennyson in. the laureateship.
These are MIR. Swinburne, William Nor
ris, Coventry Patmore ana Miss Ros-
setti. OF these, so far as regards poet
ical claim, Mr.. Swinburne is supreme.

impossible, it should rejoice to see Miss
RoSSetti wearing the laurel-for which,

claims of Mrs. Browning at the time
Lord TennYSon was appointed. In the
meantime the American newspapers
continue to sing the praises Of Miss
Jean Ingel0W.

Mrs. Mary A. Lease is pulling wires
in Kansas, to the end that she may be
sent to Washington as a senator from
that state, and leading men have been
Interviewed and think that perhaps she

for the comic papers!
