seem to have been any need of hesitation
or vacillstion.
Two things appear to be plain. One Ia
that the government is bound to maintain

This ought to have been announced 80
plainly and promptly that even the way

The other thing which appears to be
plain is that there should be no foolish

MEMORABLE DINNER
AT Which Thackeray Entertained
Sumner and Sala

AT which Thackeray Entertained
Sumner and Sala.
During the last year of friendship,
writes Sals, the recollection of which, full
IS 1t was of affection on both sides and of
deep respect on mine, 1 shall treasure to
my dying day, 1 saw Thsekeray at least
three times a week, either at the Reform
or at bis own hospitable house. BE had
moved from onslow square to tall red
brick edifce which he had purchased Close
to Kensington Palace, which house be
bought in somewhat dilspidsted condi-
ticn. but which, with a very large expendi-
ture of money, he transformed into state
ly mansion.
remember In particular one dinner at
which the chief guest was Mr.. Charles
Sumner, the renowned American states
msn and orator, who hsd been very kind
to Thsckersy during the visit of the latter
to the United States Mr.. Sumner was sf-
terwsrd to be my friend in America, and
late in 1862 he presented me to Abraham
Lincoln, president of the United States.
He was a very handsome, stately, scsdem-
ic man, with deep voice and q distinct
enunciation very much resembling that of
Macready, the actor; and, in fact, Ii al
ways struck me that Mr.. Sumner was Civ
en- to posing or sttitudiniziDg slightly in q
histrionic manner.
There was little passage of arms be-
tween him and Thackersy at the dinner of
which speak, owing to Mr.. Summers in
sistence that Thackersy Was bound to
write book recording his experience of
transatlantic travel and his opinions of
-
the novelist to these arguments was,
Dickens wrote a book about America,
and your people didn't Ike It."
Mr.. Sumner, however, was not satisfied,
and continued his proteststions that the
American people wanted an American
book from Tnsckeray, and that they had
had nothing except the "Virginians." I"
which they rather resented, inssmuch as 1t
contained a portrait of George Washing
ton, which they thought was something
lacking in reverence to the father of his
country.
Very diplomsticslly Thsckersy changed
on three different kinds of cognsc, decAn-
ters of which were served with the coffee.
One sample. he declared, came from the
cellars of the Tuilleries, and was laid
down by the butler of Napoleon i. This
gave him the opportunity of launching
into fierce TRADE against Napoleon the
Great, and of relating story that, in his
childhood, being brought from Calcutta to
England, the ship touched at St. Helena,
and he wss conducted to Longvood, where
through gap in hedge he caught sight
of the exile himself.
Mr.. Sumner wss rather Bonapartish In
his views, and In the discussion which fol-
lowed the question as to whether Thsck-
cray should have written an account of his
American experiences fell hsppily into
sbeyauce.

and the whole expression of the face was
unconscious, feminine and sweet. The
brim of her hat had a sharp dent on the
side next to me. No, 1 don't remember
what 1t was made of. / didn't notice
much, except that 1t was on a gently
poised head, and that the hair was soft
and loose, aud not done up in any psrtic-
ular way. Her dress was-well, 1 don't
remember the material. 1t was sort Of
light-colored and-yes. and plain and soft.
The collar was loose; remember that be-
cause her throat showed 30 prettily, and
two white points sort of opened in front
There was a lot of loose, soft, white stuf
just under the chin. Yes, maybe 1t was q
jsbot, not q stylish, perked up thing,
though. 1t was not her dress, you know,
that impressed me. It was her sweet,
girlish, wlstful self."
This maid really was fsshionsbly sttired;
indeed she exhibited some of the most
pronounced features of current drees.
But don't think, If you resemble my
sketch of her, that 1t is unnecessary to
dress to please the men, because 1t is safe
to say that much of the impression the
girl made upon the man was due to her
correct gsrb. FLoRETTE.

A Woman,s Ride on a Cowcatcher.

A woman's Ride on a Cowcatcher.
LADY Grey Egerton in the North American Re-
view.
Before leaving Vancouver We had been
given permi. to ride on the cowcstcher.
There had been some difficulty it getting
it, as the officials of the Canadian Pacific
had rather discouraged the idea, and had
tried hard to persuade Us that all purposes
would be answered by our riding with the
engine driver; but then they were Obliged
to allow that the scenery could be seen far
and away better from the front of the en-
gine-that given q strong head the ride on
cowcstcher was delightful, and that sey-
ersl ladies had done 1t already. What
other ladies had done We felt sure we
could do too, and 60 eventually our per-
init was given us. 1t desired the driver of
the engine to let Us ride in front of III be-
tween certain named stations, and 1t stated
that we did SO at our own risk and peril
and took all danger to life or limb on our
selves. IL wss rather an alsrmingly word
ed missive, bat we saw that the order was
numbered far on into the second hundred,
30 that we wtre far from being the frst
people who had treated themselves to
these risks and danger, and we took com
tort accordingly. We found the cow
catcher to be an arrangement of iron bars
fastened to the lower part of the front of
the engine, and 30 making Q kind of blunt
plow in front of It; and It was on the en-
gine with our feet dangling over this cow
catcher that we found we were to sit, one
on each side; and there we rode from the
foot of the Selklrk mountains till We
reached the Glacier house close 10 the top
of the pass A wonderful two-hours' ride
that was; the air whizzIng past us, the
huge engine painting and grunting at our
| bsoks; such q roar in our ears tha. we
couldn't hear each other speak, snd min
sled feelings OF danger and security that
were exciting and thrilling indeed. Pres

EDITORIAL NOTES.

1t Is little early for such stories, but
1t is pleasant to note that James Basley, q
white haired octogenarian, of GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, accidentally hit himself on the fore
head with a hammer and his hair immedi-
ately began turning black, until now it is
like the ravens wing.
A prisoner who escaped from the Hop

There is occasionally one. ]. W. Prade,

One of the latest ideas for illuminating
towns Is to suspend in the air a large bal

thin aluminium, 6lled with suitable guam

keep 1t steady. The light can be derived
either from q number of arc lamps attached
to the ends or sides or from incandescent
lamps, with which the outside of the bal

A Memphis man has a patent for an
electrical vegetation exterminator, which
is designed to kill the rank vegetation that
grows along railroad beds and highways in
tropical countries. The apparatus, includ-
ing dynamo and engine or batteries, is
placed on a car and furnishes a current
which is sent through all the adjacent
vegetation by means of a brush when the
car is moved along the track. The same
principle is applied, of course, to the weeds
and grasses of a cultivated field.
1t appears from British consular reports
just published that there is place on the
face of the globe where intoxication, in
stead of being regarded as a vice, is looked
upon as q virtue, and where drunken
laborers are actually at premium. This
peculiar condition of affairs prevails in
the Portugt ese possessions of South Af-
RIGA. 1t &c ems that the natives there,
when employed for any definite object,
have to be carefully and laboriously in
structed how to perform their work. If a
man be temperate in his habits he will In
one or two months earn sufficient to main
tain himself in idleness for nearly year,
and the consequence is that he returns to
his home and the instructions which have
been given to him are entirely lost. With
an incorporate native the opposite state
of affairs exists. Month after month, on
the receipt of his wages, he spends his
entire earnings in liquor, and never having
sufficient funds to take him home, remains
with his employer for years, becoming
more and more valuable as time passes by
reason of the fact that the repetition of
instructions becomes gradually less neces-
sary.
