OUR WELCOME TO KossUTH.
Tremendous Ovation 10 Patriot

as EEe Rode Up Broadway. New York
The military parade and public demon
stration given in honor of Kossuth, the
Hungarian exile, upon the occasion of his
visit to New York in 1851, was the finest
eyer seen in hat city," writes Parke Cod
win, who witnessed the memorable demI-
1t in the Great Personal Events artl-
Gle of the February Ladies Home jour
nal. Broadway was a bewildering sight,
densely packed with enthusiastic, cheer
ing crowds; the houses were literally
buried by flags, bunting, green's and other
decorations. About the City Hall the coll
ors of Hungary fioated in profusion, al
ways fanked by the American flag. At
the magnificent and Inspiring spectacle
Kossuth was evidently amazed. 1T was
more than he expected, and as he calmly
viewed the scene cat Broadway and Ann
Street he was startled by the thunderous
Shout of welcome from admirers that had
gathered at the Astor House. He looked
UP and saw every man in the windows
and IN the porch cheering and waving
his hat in a frenzy of enthusiasm, and the
women s~aluting him with equal favor.
Kossuth gracefully bowed, not once, but

TIE SETTER TURNED TIE TABLES
After the Boys Had FINN with the Dog
the Dog Had Fan with the Rows.

An IRISH Setter, supposed to be mad
caused considerable excitement along the
Boulevard yesterday afternoon. The ami
NAL was first discovered in a lot at the
Boulevard and Tonnele avenue, where
some boys were pelting it with stones.
The dog presumably growing tired of
the sport which was becoming more and
more disastrous to him as the aim of the
boys grew better and when one partfcu-
larly large and well delivered stone struck
him square between the eyes he emitted
a long, low growl and started for the
boys. A scamper to places of safety fol-
lowed. Several of the boys sought shell
ter on a fence where they watched the
dogs antics with pleasure. But when it
began to grow dark and the dog showed
no Indication of leaving, the situation be-
gar. to lose its hulnor for the boys and
they thought they would nave to stay
away all night. Suddenly an innocent
looking tabby, the property of a nearby
German, strolled across the lot. The dog
saw the cat and made for 1t. There were
no imposing ceremonies in the cats de-
paature. A waving tail, a few Jumps and
pussy spat at his dogsf1ip from the lower
limb of q tree.
This was the opportunity the boys were
waiting for, and while the international
consultation was being held at the tree,
ons by one they made their departure.
TIL termination of the scene has not
been recorded. The boys threaten mis-
chief and should that nice doggie''
chance to stroll through that neighbour
hood again he will be accorded a warm
reception.

GIBBoN'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY.


~ N0f = -
The publication of the "Aut~obiography
and Letters Of Gihbon the historian in
their original form is a literary event Of
rare interest and the solution Of a fasci-
mating mystery in the world Of letters.
For the first time the world now has
the seven autobiographic studies of the
historian exactly as he wrote them, in
stead Of the curious mosaic which the
first Lord Sheffield gave to the public as
Gibbons Memoirs And it now has his
FAMILIAR Letters" as he wrote them, not
mutilated, not bowlderized, but in his
own words and his own spelling. The
new publication is certainly a literary
revelation; but. like the unlocking of SO
many mysteries, the unsealing of the Glib
bon manuscripts has not altogether solved
the mystery of the Memoirs or rather
las SO often happens in '.mysteries,,9 it
has only presented the puzzle in a new
form. All readers Of the Decline and
Fall'-that is to say all men and women
of a sound education-have long known,
as Milman and Morrison told them. that
Gibbon did not write his own autobio-
graphy-i. e., in the form in which we
have It. Lord Sheffield very truly told
the world in 1895 that the Memoirs, he
published had been carefully selected,
and put together" But the world never
did know the method of the Selection =
or the astounding freedom with which
they had been put together" We never
suspected that the editor had cut about
the manuscript of the Luminous his
torian' as if it were a schoolboy's theme;
that sentences, descriptions, and distinct
essays had been clipped from one draft
and soldered into another in the middle
of a paragraph; thu delicious bits of
satire had been expunged, so as not to
awaken prejudice or to dim the solemnity
of history; that much of the fun, nearly
all the scandal, and most Of the inner
personal life had been eliminated from
the Letters" We now see that Gibbons
literary carcase was treated in some such
way as a hog is converted into ham,. But
the mystery remains. If Gibbon did not
compose his own autobiography, who did =?
No one can read these seven sketches of
the historian without admiring the I'M
known literary hand which so Wonder
FULLY wove them together and reset them
into one harmonious piece. That hand, r
cannot doubt, was mainly the fair hand
of a young girl. I nave seen an original
letter of Lady Maria Holroyd, Lord Shelf
heids eldest daughter, in which she says
that she and her stepmother, the second
wife of Lord Sheffield, are working
busily at the Memoirs, and are excellent
devils" There are passages, she says,
which it would be very unfit to publish
IF the letters had fallen into the hands
of a Boswell what fun the world would
nave had | have examined the original
manuscripts in the British Museum: they
are marked for ~elision. alteration and
a~bbreviation in the handwriting of Lady.
Maria. I have myself little doubt that
the skill with which Gibbons brilliant.
marble fragments were composed into d
coherent picture. like the mosaics which,
,astonish and delight us at Rome. was
mainly the work of this bold and remark

Excelsior and Union teams rolled the sec
ond series of match games on Browns
alleys and y.d the honors. In the
first games in Brooklyn the same result
was reached. The contest was very in

In the opening game the Excelsiors led
until the last frame when a triple header
by Lee pulled the game out for his team.
In the second the Excelsiors cut loose at
the start and led for six frames. On the
seventh Union shot ahead and remained
in front until the ninth when a clear
frame put the Excelsiors in the van, and
they pounded out a victory by 80 pins.
