sir walter scott,s Literary Blunders.

Sir Walter Scott's Literary Blunders.
1t seems inevitable that Sir Walter
Scott should sometimes err. When an
author is throwing off brilliant romances
at fever heat, in electric sympathy with
a teeming brain and a tingling pulse, he
cannot be expected to be overcareful.
No one knew better than he-a famous
horseman himself-the limits of endur-
ance in horse. He makes Wilfred of
Iyanhoe advise his enemy, the Templar,
to take fresh steed for the fierce tilt
he was to run with him. Wilfred him
self had no chargers of remount; he had
but one steed, the gift of Isaac of York,
and was compelled to run five successive
courses in rapid succession on the unfor-
tunate animal. Horse and man were
both sheathed in armor. The day was
hot and sultry. No steed that ever was
foaled could have stood the ordeal. But
this may be hypercriticism. Is it hyper
criticism also to point out that in the
same novel full century is dropped in
such sort that one of Richard rs knights
holds converse with a contemporary OF
the Conqueror, who was Richards great.

sago,s scout. Ou, of "a Job.

A class of persons who have suffered
greatly by reason of the bomb throwing
tragedy have hitherto escaped the notice
of the press. Mr.. Sage was doing a
large business in options or puts and
calls, spreads and straddles He was
not so greatly absorbed in this speciality
as he was in 1888. He was caught in
the panic of that year and lost good
many hundred thousand dollars, and
since then has been more conservative
than he was before. Still, this business
has amounted to good many thousand
dollars some days and has afforded a
number of men an opportunity of get
ting living.
These men are typical Wall street
creatures. You see them hustling here
and there, buttonholing men and whis-
pering in their ears. They are dreless.
They know everybody who is likely to
take little hier. Sometimes as many
as score or more of them used to go to
Russell Sage every day and ask him
what he would charge for options on va
rious stocks and securities. Having got
Sage's terms, they secured the streets,
protesting to give tips, and in the course
of a week would bring in many Gus
toners to Sage. Their usual commission
was one-eighth of 1per cent, and the
smartest of them could make from ter
to twenty dollars day.
They brought Sage great deal Of
| business first and last. But these mer
have been sad eyed enough since the ex
plosion. This part of Sage's business
life is ended as much as though he had
been killed on that day, and it is a seri
GUS question whether he will ever re
sumo it. This has thrown these scout:

Parkhurst, the charge is made that New
York city, under the absolute control of
Tammany is governed largely by ex-
'divekeepers and crooks and ex-convicts

would draw tremblingly near the verge
of obscene literature. 1t is pretty try
ing state of affairs says the doctor, for
such as are attempting to improve the
moral condition of our young men in
particular,to have officials high in power
against whom the most damning and
excoriating thing that can be done is to
publish their history.
