According to Col. Murphy, the agent Of the
agricultural department to advance the inter-
ests Of American corn abroad, the Infanta

In his interesting "reminiscences Of Dickens,
GA. Sala says that to talk to the author of
"Pickwick" was very different thing from
talking to Thackery. The latter was a mas
ter of anecdote, persif1age and repartee. He
was varied and fluent linguist; he was satu-
rated with seventeenth and eighteenth cent
ury literature, both French and English and
he could hold his own ip conversation with
such wits and epigraInmatists as Lord
Houghton and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens, on
the other hand, rarely talked at length of
literature and said little about art, the higher
forms of which he held in contempt. What
he liked best to talk about was the last new
play at the theater, the last curious trial or
police case and The latest social folly or
Swindle. He was also fond of ghost story or
a comic anecdote. OF Dickens as an editor, a
pursuit in which very successful writer's
sometimes fail, Mr.. Sala says: He surprised
me by the observation-disclosures for the better
which he made, now in the title, now in the
matter, of my copy
