Tho Author of .iErellna.r

Miss Burney, or Nine. D'Arblay, re-
talns place in literature partly by her
novels, partly by her exceedingly inter.
esting diary. Nor must it be forgotten
that, although "Evelina" appeared sc
long ago as IT'S, there are many people
still living WHO were young men and
women when she died. She has been
praised by Macaulay for describing rea]
me with broad, comic humor," vet
In Language that is never Inconsistent
with rigid morality OF oven with virgin
delicacy," and it is true that "Evelina"
possesses unique interest as description
OF contemporary manners and is free
from unnecessary coarseness. It is also
true that the author has a keen eve for
the ridiculous and considerable gift of
SATIRE Nevertheless Nine. D'Arblay is
not entitled to any high place us a novel.
ISL. her constructive skill is small, and
her characters are for the most part
what johnson would have called "hu.
morlsts "-that is, they are tho incarna-
ton Of qualities rather than flesh and
blood individuals. Moreover, the author
herself is a "humorist. Her ruling pas
sion is morbid craving to be "genteel. {"
She has no mercy for vulgarity or the vul
gar, but she fails to see that her own wor.
ship of society conventions is itself vul-
gar. And hence. one may doubt the pro-
prlety of assigning to her "broad comic
humor. She was too much of prig to
be possessed of humor, which duplicates
geniality.
Still, Nine. D'Arblay claims respect
on the specific ground that she did much
to purify an important form of litera-
turc, while she has a certain additional
claim to remembrance from her connec-
ton with DIR. johnson. Did not DR..
johnson kiss her, and has she not record

Tho superintendent was giving advice

gave MIN some pointers, and In tho fol-
lowing language: "By all means BIO dig

Tho first glimpse of Great Britain
that the American tourist gets ON his
European tour is that of the Fastnet
lighthouse.
1t stands on a rugged and solitary
rock, situated nine miles south of Crook
haven, ut the extreme southwest corner
OF Ireland, and is, perhaps, more storm
beaten than any other around our coast.
The rock is 80 feet in height, and the
lighthouse towers another 70 feet above,
yet, III winter gales, the Atlantic bill
lows literally lombard the massive
structure and have even smashed In a
portion Of the lantern at the summit of
the erection, the seas frequently sweep
ing over the rock with tremendous force.
Some two or three years ago the stormy
weather then prevailing prevented all
communication with the rock for many
weeks, SO that the store of food was con-
sumed, with the exception Of some flour.
at last schooner managed to approach
sufficiently near to enable a small uuan.
tlty OF food to be dragged through the
sea by the hungry men, and, fortunate
~, the next day the sea moderated, and
the stores were once more fully replen-
ished.
Except in very calm weather the Fast
net is surrounded by fringe of foam.
and the only means Of landing is by the
aid of lib" 58 feet in length, so
placed on the rock that, in moderate
weather, its end reaches outside the
surf. When visitor wishes to land IAN
unusual ocCurrence), he is rowed in n
small boat as near as tho waves permit,
and the lightkeepcrs throw out q small
buoy, attached to rope, which is Sc
cured by the man in the boat. The lib
is then swung out, and the visitor, plac-
ing one foot in the loop aud catching
tight hold of the rope, is hoisted about
40 feet vertically, and then the jib, be-
ing pivoted at its foot, swings him hori-
zontally about 100 feet on to safe land

shepard Morse Lumber Company to
Lcivr Rutiingt nj 'iy 1.

The Shepard & Morse Lumber company
decided Tuesday to remove their business
from this city about the first of next July
when their lease Of the property occupied
by them and owned by the Central YER
mont railroad company, expires.
The site of the mills was sold by the
Shepard & Morse company several years
ago to the railroad company for $4,000 and
since that time has been rented by the
lumber company for $500 per year. The
ront has recently been raised to $4,000 and
the company propose to dispose of their
plant and locate elsewhere.
The business Is one which Burlington
will be sorry to lose, since 1t gives en-
ployment to from $50 to 800 men. The ca
pacity for dressing lumber Is about 100000
feet per day of "A hours.
Col. y. Il. Smalley, one of the directors
of the Central Vermont railroad, was seen
last evening and when asked why the
rental was raised. said: THE Shepard x
Morse company in their statement have
said that the Central VERMONT Railroad
company gave $4,000 for the property and
they have been paying n rental of $500,
which would not have been enough to pay
the taxes assessed upon II by the assessors
of the city of Burlington. | regret that
the Shepard & Morse company are to
move away. but think the railroad COM
pany should have a fair rental for their
property. | know nothing whatever of the
details of the matter"

A DASTARDLY ASSAULT.
James Gates of st. George Attacked by
Moses Tacy New Year'. Day.

James Gates, postmaster at st. George.
was spending New Years with his mother
at Malletts Bay. About 4:9O o'clock in the
afternoon he was walking with some
friends down the road in the d.
direction of his brother-in-law's barn
where his horse was quartered. A
few rods beyond Tacy's house he heard
some one walking rapidly behind him
and turning around he saw some one who
struck him in the face with hoe which
he carried. The hoe struck him on the
right side of the nose. cutting into the
cheek bone, the lip was split open, and
lay bare the teeth; the chin bone was eX-
posed, and the hoe glanced down striking
him on the breast, cutting through his
coat, vest, necktie and two shirts and
burying itself in the flesh, making an
ugly cash.
Mr.. Gates did not know his assailant but
the friends he was with identified him as
Moses Tacy, a witness in the celebrated
Whalen-Fournier case.
Sheriff Reeves was at once notified and
early Thursday morning, in company with
Officers Brunette and Taft, he went to
Tacys house and placed him under arrest,
Just as he was leaving the house and
brought him to the city, lodging him In
jail.
Mr.. Gates was taken to Or. Lund's
where his wounds were sewed up after
which he went to his homo in st. George,
The motive for the assault is inexplicablc
as Mr.. Gates says that he is unacquainted
with Tacy. Tacy. the night before had
attended Il drunken debauch near his
house and was more or less under the in
fiuenco of liquor. as its fumes could be de-
tected upon him Thursday morning. Tacy
says that he knew Mr.. Gates and followed
him along the road with the intention of
| laying him out" as he expressed it, but
mt i'm, hn
the blow had fallen directly upon Mr.
Gates head.
