PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Lord Tennyson La going to publish
In his life of his father juvenile tala
called "Mdngo, the American" writ
ten by Alfred Tennyson at the ago
Of IA.
Years ago Albert Wolff and Henri
Rochefort were the two foremost art
critics of Paris. The latter has recent
ly resumed his work, and his critique>
appear in Figaro, the journal on which
he won his spurs.
"A most impressive monument will
be that of Victor Hugo, to be erected in
the Paris place that bears his name.
The pedestal will consist of huge
rock roughly hewn out in the form of
the Isle of Guernsey.
--Alexandre Dumas death makes the
number of vacant seats in the French
academy four, the others being those
OF Ferdinand de Lesseps, Pasteur and
Camille Doucet. The prospect of the
places being filled with unknown medi-
ocreties is so great that Alphonse Dau-
Diet Is being publicly urged to make up
his differences with the academy and
become a candidate, and even lola may
stand some chance.
M. Golowin is about to publish h
book concerning the late Prince Alex
ander OF Battenberg, whose confidant
he was. The author confirms the state
ment that a marriage was at one time
contemplated between the prince and
daughter of the late Emperor Fred
erick of Germany. but it was opposed
by Prince Bismarck, who, it is said,
was afraid to endanger the good UNDER
standing between his country and Rus.
STA.
There is much regret at the fact
that the late Alexandra Dumas ordered
in his will that all his unpublished man
uscripts should be destroyed. Among
them were two comedies, one of which
had been read to friends and was pro-
nounced by them masterpiece. Dumas
found more and more difficulty as he
grew older in pleasing himself with his
work.
-Stowaways usually receive scant
courtesy from the indignant officers Of
the ships on which they steal passage,
and usually, too, scant rations and
plenty of work, with a prospect of Jail
at the end of the trip. A stowaway on
one of the Pacific steamers, however, OH
a recent trip from Yokohama to Ia
coma, received not only the best of
treatment, but substantial present of
money when he left the ship. The YES
sci encountered a very heavy storm on
the voyage, and the stowaway, who was
working about the deck, distinguished
himself by great bravery at one of the
most perilous moments during the
gale. The officers made up purse of
$50 for him to help him on his journey
after he left the ship.

The Swiss Pike.

The name of the Swiss is generally
identified with the long pike of the
the 1S-foot shaft; and most gallant
attempts have been made by recent
writer's to prove that this celebrated
weapon was Swiss invention and en-
ployed by the confederates from the
first. The point, however, is one that
must remain uncertain, for the earli-
est mention of the long pike is found
in an order addressed in 1927 by Count
Philip of Savoy to the burghers Of
Turin, and no one can tell whether the
Savoyards borrowed it from the Swiss
or the Swiss from the Savoyards. The
primitive weapons of all infantry seem
to be the spear and shield The Milanese
fought with such spears, or pixies,
eight or ten feet in !engLh, at Legnano,
The Scotch at Fallxir, and the Elem"
ings at Courtrai; so that it is impos-
sible to predict OF any one nation that
it added the requisite number OF feet
to the weapons shaft in order to make
a long pike. There IS no mention OF
pixies in the battles of the Swiss until
Sempach, and it is probable that in
that action they were not above ten
seet in length.--Macmillan's Magazine

Meat auctions, furniture auctions.
There are few things one cannot buy
at auction if one bides ones time. When

effects are closed out at auction for
