TOCRGENEFF IN 1878.

Being in attendance at the conven- tion of the Association Lttteraire h. ternationale, and wishing more to see Tourgueneff than to behold all living Frenchmen, says Col T. W. Higgin- son in the January Atlantic, I begged the ever kind secretary, M. Zaccone, to introduce me to him after the ad- journment He led me to man of magnificent bearing, who lowered above all the FTenchmen, and was, on the whole, the noblest and most at tractive literary man whom I have ever encountered. I Can think of no better way to describe him than by saying that he united the fine benig- nant head of Longfellow with the fig ure of Thackeray; not that Tourgue neff was as tall as the English novel, ist, but he had as distinctly the effect of height, and afterwards, when he, Charles Godfrey Leland, and I stood together, we were undoubtedly the tallest men in the room. But the especial characteristic of Tourgueneff was winning sweetness of manner, which surpassed even LongfelIow's, and impressed one as being kind na- ture's" to adopt Tennyson's distinc- ton, and not merely those next to best" manners which he attributes to the great.

separate municipality, to take place on December 30.
 There is a subject that is mildly agitating metropolitan bankers. Some of them believe that among the first bills to be introduced ID the legislature will be one for reduction of the le- gal rate of interest from to 5 per cent The bill is known among the banks here as "an old and intimate friend" It has been introduced an- nually for the past ten years or more. The argument of the influences be- hind the rate of interest bill will be, it is said, that the banks have a pie thora of cold cash; that they cannot get remunerative rates for it, and that while it is locked up new enterprises will be delayed and workers suffer The bankers say that this argument is amusing, talk about supply and demand, and declare that the govern ment will give any lower interest hill solar plexus blow that will put it to sleep in the archives at Albany. But, just the same, money is cheap ening, and it may be hard to kill such a measure this trip than ever before
