The Noted rar,sian Critics Own Story Of

At this moment appears gentleman
whonitil Paris knows and almost all
Parisiams adore--nanely, Francisqno
Sarcey. Knowing himself to bo among
friends, he talked freely. For half q
century nearly our great critic has held
the pen, at first timidly, and now ho
wiolds it with unquestioned authority.
Like most Partisan celo obrities, he waJ
born in the provinces, at Dourdan,
where his father kept nchool after tho
fail of the first Napoleon dissolved the
army in which the elder Sarcey had in
sisted on enlisting in spite OF his excess
Two nearsightednoss, transmitted TO his
son. There Sarccy's parents toiled with
varying fortunes, and thence Francisque
took his flight for Paris and walked
firmly in the footprints of tho late Jules
,Ianin, who also devoted his life to
dramatic criticism. He makes an idol Of
the drama He lives for his work. He re-
spectfully considers dramatic criticism
an art and rot trade, and perhaps for
that reason is the greatest critical au-
thority in France.
He told us Of his duel with Hector
Pessard. the musical critic and comic
opera composer, who is a very charming
man, hy tho way. Sarcey, in 1865,
wrote a ecathing attack ON Girardin's
paper, La Liberte. Emile de Girardin
objected on principle to duels, so tho
editorial staff. considering their literary
style insultcd by Sarcey, drew lots ns to
who would call him ont and kill him IL
possible The lot fell on Pessard. Now,
Pessard and Sarcey were great friends,
but it was necessary to obey the call of
honor, so Pessard sent tho challenge,
which Sarcey accepted with dignity.
The adyersaries took Off their conts aid
vests and faced each other. swords III
hand, when, 10! the four seconds took to
squabbling over somo detail. The dis
pute was long aud fcrocious, and the
two adversarios fell into conversation,
sword in hand.
Quoth Pessard--l am frozen. Would
you mind if | put on my coat?
Sarccy-A good idea Wo can kill
each other Later.
Pessard-Let me tell you, my dear
Sarcey, how greatly admire your tai
/ ent.
Sarccy-I can say tho same to you.
but why are we going to kill each other?
Pessard--l don't quito know. 1t
seems you grossly insulted mo, and if
do not succeed in killing you that you
must certainly slay me in expiation.
Sarcey tmeditatively)--I do not re-
member having ipsultod you. but if you
say SO l suppose it is true.
In the meantime the four seconds
were quarreliEg furiously. One gentle
man was shaking his fist in his opp0-
nent's face and another was brandish-
ing his riding whip, whercupoi. Sarcey
suddenly burst out laughing aud said
Como, Pesiard, Let rs separate OFT

each others throats. we will go and
bavo some breakfast.
Which was no sooner said than done,

one thing we cannot do without is the.
cultivation of the beautiful. The beauti-
full can only be cultivated at vast ex-
pense, and we should never cayil at
those who are willing to invest their
money in it. The paltry utilitarianism
which can only see bread and beer and
fastian in money is the curse of the
age. Everyone who knows anything
should fight as hard as he can against it.

THE REMOVAL OF MpREAyY.

The removal Of John McReavy from the
capitol commission by Gov. McGraw is
doubtless due to his refusal to agree to
accept any one of the plans recommended
TO the commission by Prof. Ware, the
advisory architect.
Prof Ware. of Columbia college, an
architect of unb!emished reputation and
the highest professional standing, was
selected by the commission as its adviser.
After careful and painstsking considera-
ton Of the plans submitted he Sc
lected six as the most worthy and re-
commended that one of these be chosen.
The governor very properly insists
that the recommendation of the expert
should be adopted. Commissioner Nc
Reavy has held q contrary view, favoring
the disregarding OF Prof. Wares report
and insisting upon the selection Of plan
from among those rejected.
The action OF the governor should be.
and doubtless will be. generally approved.

their share Of the public burdens. The
great bulk Of the class with incomes over
5000 consists Of persons in moderate cir
cumstances who seek to educate their
children and make both ends meet A
perfectly fair incoms tar would fall on all
who had . regular yearly income from
500 up. There in no reason Why people
with 500 ysar should not pay IS well -
people with 5000 They pay every other
tar, and why not this? This would dis
