One Who ms Youth Knew the Great
Writer Recounts His Experiences.
Ny earliest recollections Of Thackeray
date from the spring of 1s49 l used from
that time to spend a few days with him at
the end of the Easter holidays before going
back to Eton. He was then living with
his two girls in the hospitable white brick
house 10 Young street, Kensington, which
can never pass unmoved. His handsome
old mother and dear old stepfather, Major
Carmichael Smyth, who had been governor
Df Addiscombe, and in some respects was
the original of Colonel Newcome, were
also living with him.
He was then but at the dawn Of his
fame. Vanity Fair" begun in January,
1877, was completed in July, 1SiS "Pen-
dennis" came out in 1880. l well re-
member the first numbers of the former
in their yellow paper covers, and the illus
trations in vignettes from his own pencil.
1t was in 1850 that his long connection
with Punch came to an end.
/ recollect being astonished and amused
at his humorous drawings for that period
ical, which were constantly being brought
to him on their lockwood blocks before be-
ing printed off. In these visits, which took
place every year till 1852, when went to
Oxford, instinctively felt that he was far
greater than any one whom | had ever
met. And looking back, after an interval
Of forty years, | feel that was not wrong,
and that there was something in his mind
and character larger and more spacious,
more liberal, with less admixture of any
thing petty or unreal or affected than it
has been my fortune ever to meet.
One was naturally attracted by his fine,
lofty figure his bright, genial smile, his
pithy, amusing sentences, and his CHEEKY
greeting. There was nothing in the least
deterrent or formidable in him--and most
boys are quick to see if they are regarded
as bores by their elders. Mrs. Leslie
Stephen well says, Ellis kindly feeling for
the schoolboy is constantly coming up in
his books; it is indicated by his warm rec
ommendation Of the great dAty of admins
tering 'tips'--a duty which he took care to
discharge etfectually in his own person"

from my own experience. l never visited,

Wit whctted by Appetite.

A well known lawyer and author of this
city, who is relative of Senator Sherman,
once had head clerk to whom he gave n
literary training, and who became in time
regular contributor to several humorous
publications. 1t frequently happened that
the lawyers engagements KEEP: him away
from his Office until long after the time he
had fixed for his return, often to the dis
tress of his clerk, who liked to lunch regu-
larly. The latter, in desperation, sent to
paper and had printed the following
squib:
Client-How do you know that your en-
ployer will not return till O'Clock?
Lawyers Clerk-Decause he said when
he went out that he would be back at 1880.
When the paragraph appeared the clerl;
showed it to his preceptor and asked him
If he saw the point. The lawyer replied
with dignity that he did not discuss jokes
during business hours, but he was there
after remarkably punctual man.-Phila-

Marriage and Good Times.

II have observed" says an old minister,
"that marriage, especially among the
working classes. is greatly affected by the
state of trade. When trade is good mar
riages increase, and are less frequent in
times of commercial depression. This fact
indicates that the romance of life among a
class who are generally regarded as reck-
less in the matter of marriage is, after all,
restrained by the dictates Of common pru-
dence During the Lancashire cotton fam
inc, early in the sixties, / had a church in
Dundee. The failure of cotton occasioned
an abnormal boom in the jute trade, and
Dundee was the principal emporium for
the import and manufacture Of the flexible

foundation Of its wealth and greatness. In
those prosperous times marriages were fire.

MIXED.

Senator Gallery advocates tariff for
revenue only. He does not believe in pro-
lection to American industries. But Sem
ator Gallery is q representative of Louisi-
ana sugar-planting interests, and does not
think il right that in marching to the
goal of tariff reform his tariff reform
party should trample on the form of his
PROSTATE State. When asked if he
wanted a protective duty on sugar, MIR.
Gallery replied that he did not. 81 want"
be says, 'the duty on sugar laid for purely
revenue purposes" Il appears that a
good deal of protecting can be done under
pretense of getting revenue. President
Cleveland would not listen to protective
tariff on sugar, but he thought that con-
siderable revenue might be derived from
that article. From this the inference is
allowable that tariff reform Democrats
do not object to the results of protection
so much as to the name. Calling a duty
revenue instead of protection enables them
to place on the free list products that under
q protective tariff would necessarily be on
the dutiabie list. Wool is an example.
Because there was no Senatorial construc-
ton that made the protection of wool a
condition Of their vote on the tariff bill,
wool was left TO take care of itself. The
humbug Of the Cleveland variety of tariff
for revenue should be apparent by this
time to the voters his sounding phrases
deceived in 1892.

HOME RULE.

One OF the reforms expected of the New
York Constitutional convention was the
esta blishment of home rule for cities. In
their relations between State and city leg
islation New York and California are in
much the same predicament. New York
cities are governed from Albany as Cali
fornia cities are from Sacramento. But
the State influence seems TO be too strong
in the New York convention for the local
interest to obtain for its demands serious
consideration. The committee on cities
has reported plan which places the gov
eminent Of each city in the hands of an
elective Mayor and Common Council, sub
ject to such legislative power as NAV be
provided by law. That means that cities
may do as they please when the State Leg
slature may not please to have them do
something else. This is regarded as the
Republican plan. The Democratic plan
restricts legislation concerning cities to
general laws affecting all cities. 1t Is no.
der such a general plan as this that San
Francisco has been knocked about by sue
cessive Legislatures under general laws
applying to all cities of 100. 600 inha bitants
or more. AS there Is but one city in this
State containing 100000 people the distinc-
tion between cities 80 described and one
named as San Franc SEQ is not apparent to
the inexperienced eye.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

The st. Louis Republic reports indus
trial tranquility in the South. There are
no labor troubles of any kind. Says the
Republic:
More new industrial establishments have
been set on foot within the last three m Onths in
the South than were started there in any other
quarter since 1892. The number reported by
the Manufacturers Record OF Baltimore is 1877
against 662 for the preceding quarter, and 436
for the last quarter of 1898. This record has
been beaten only two or three times in the
whole history Of the South.
These signs of prosperity are gratifying.
We do rot need to 60 far to discover rea-
sons why the menace of tariff reduction
has not produced the same effect in the
South as in the North. The year 1898
found the industries of the South on
lower plane. With an abundance of un-
skilled labor there was comparatively lit
tie that would be ranked in great Northern
manufactures as skilled. Alabama and
other Southern States could produce pig
iron at lower cost than Pennsylvania, but
the finished products of iron were not
produced in corresponding diversity. The
cOtton-mills of Georgia. worked mainly to
supply the home market, did not produce
the varieties of cloth that New England
mills produced. The South was young in
the manufacturing business, and was
proceeding along lines prescribed by CON-
parative inexperience. When wages be-
gan to fall in 1893. the Northern wage
earners protested. When they accepted
the proposed reduction 1t was for the pur-
pose of tiding over until business should
enable them to command better terms.
But business did not revive; wages dropped
from point to point. There were strikes
all along the line at time when a large
proportion of the wage-earners were un-
able to find work at any price. The South
had no large corresponding class of we'll
paid skilled workmen, and has escaped the
disturbances that have tended to PROSTATE
business in the North. What they have
gained they will hold, and in due time
their industries will be placed on footing
that will unite the South with the North
in demand for reasonable protection to
American industries.
