age Landor have been found and are now
being given to the public. This news will
bring joy to all who love the memory OF
"The Old Lion''-him of whose voice Swim
bourne wrote:
"And through the trumpet of child Of
Rang the clear music of the flutes Of
Greece
1t seems that about the time the rebellion
broke out Mr.. James T. Fields of Bostor
had received from Landor the balance OF
his unpublished letters and "conversa
tions," to complete the manuscript of al
his works, but that the disturbance Of
business rendered it impossible to go OF
with the publication: and so everything
was returned to a friend in London, and
put away in cedarwood desk, which desk
has now been found and its contents come
to the light. DIR. Walker was the custodi-
an of this treasure. 1t is said that the miss
ing chapter out of Landor's life has one
memorial in this packet, a small parce
marked Rose Aylmer's hair. :" This young
woman, whose name has been immortal
lied by Landor, died in India in 1900, al
the age of 20.)
Charles Lamb declared that these lines
are the most striking ever written upon a
like theme. We published them not LONE
ago, but reproduce them in connection with
the new matter that has come to light:
"Ah, what avais the sceptred race!
All, what the form divine!
What every virtue, every grace!
Rose Aylmer, 'all were thine.
'Rose Aylmer; whom these wakeful eyes
May weep, but never see:
A night of memories and of sighs
I consecrate to thee

THE NEW MACMILLAN HOUSE IN
LONDON.-The dingy bookshop is of the
past. The literary mart of today must
be bright, cheerful and well appointed.
Last week in London the Messrs. Macmil-
Ian &c Co. opened their new establishment,
near Leicester square, and that exact
brings with it many remin-
iscences of a literary past. The name of
Isaac Newton is associated with Leicester
SQUARE. and Fanny Burney wrote here her
'Evelina." There, too. close by. once on
a time Sir Joshua Reynolds and Hogarth
painted their pictures.
In the new building the architect has in
troduced the original trademark of the
late Alexander Macmillan, which was a bee
or butterfly. three acorns and three stars.
A modern publishing house must have, too
a grave and sober appearance, and so
there is much oaken wainscoting. There
is good and appropriate decoration, too
mainly a series of portraits of the great au-
thors whose books have been published by
the Macmillans.
PUNCH'S FUN.-In London a philan-
thropic and busnesslike woman, Mrs
Wynford Philips. has established q wo-
mans institute, and in connection with
its development has published a dictionary
of wages, hours of work. etc Among these
is mentioned that of taking
charge of pet dogs and other animals in
the absence of owners abroad. Many would
only be too glad to employ reliable per-
son to walk out their dogs" walk out"

funny to Punch. But in a recent number

Mrs. Higginson maintains herself in these

many readers. But it deserves to be read
