LITERARY NOTES.

The illustrations to that posthumous master
niece of George Du Maurier's which is reviewed
in another column have been discussed win
some solemn waggings of the head on the part
of sundry critics, and we have been told that
his hand had lost it's cunning by the time ne
came to make them. 1t seems fairer to say that
they are in nine cases out of ten quite as good
as any he had done before. 1t is true that the

confirm this Judgment. They have also literary
interest Of peculiar value, presenting as they do
with the utmost explicitness the features of tho
two most important figures in 1.-THE Marian,
the irresistible Barty himself and his dearest
friend, the Bob Of his schoodays, the Bob OF his
youth and manhood the Sir Robert Maurice who
in the mellow evening of his life set forth the
story Of a brilliant career 1t was one OF Du
Maurier's skfullest achievements to make tho
colossal chum of Barty as vivid and Well-nigh as
lovable as Barty himself When, forsaking the
text for a moment, he pictured the former. he
made q drawing as eloquent any of those
which celebrate the hero of his book.

ALLISON THE LEADER.

The retirement of Senator Sherman
from the upper branch of congress
leaves Iowa's peerless statesman, VIM.
B. Allison, practically the leader of the
senate. The mantle would by custom
fall upon Senator Morrill,, of Vermont,
he being the senior republican senator
in years of continuous service, but owing
to the fact that he is almost ninety
years of age and not very vigorous, the
next senator in point of service, Mr..
Allison, will doubtless hold this honor
able position. He is only sixty-six years
of age and in the full flush and vigor
of health, therefore he is to be the
leader of the senate i'm the 55th con-
gress and no one will doubt his fitness
for that position. Those who wondered
why he did not accept cabinet posi-
ton will now clearly see that he is to
be master of the situation at the capi-
toll and no place in the cabinet, not
even that OF Secretary of state, would
be an advancement for him as the re-
publican leader Of the senate, he is
greater man than the whole list of
cabinet officers.

A Missouri court shaving deal of
trouble untying Mott. 1t seems that
duel was fought by two men named re-
spectfully Shott and Mott. Mott was
shot and Shott was not. In this case
it is better to be Shot than Mott.
There was rumor that Mott was not
shot, and Shott avows he shot Mott,
which proves either that the shot Shot
shot at Mott was not shot tnotwithstand-
ing circumstantial evidence is not al
ways good. 1t may appear on trial
that the shot Shott shot, shot Mott, or as
accidents with firearms are frequent, it
may be possible the shot Shott shot at
Mott shot not Mott but shot himself,
when the whole affair would resolve
itself into its original elements, and
ShOtt would be shot and Mott. would be
not. We think, however, that the
shot Shott shot shot not Shott but
Mott. Anyway 1T is hard to tell who
was shot and who was not.-Er.
