Dr.. Powers Lecture.

The lecture of DR.. Power at the town
hall on Tuesday night was attended by g
large and cultured audience. 1t was the
misfortune of the writer to be taken sud
denly and painfully i'll on that evening and
thus made unable to be present. From
the reports of the many persons who
heard thelecture it must be gem. Every
body was delighted and the door receipts
were good.

Plain Talk
About Fire.

Fires have a habit OF
occurring unexpectedly. They
never give notice in advance.
No man can look into the flu
ture and tell what is going to
happen. A man may work
and slave for years in accumu-
lating a little property. but
fire is powerful enough towipe
out his savings in an hour.
Seems strange that any
body should overlook the vital
matter of carrying insurance
on his property. My compa-
MES are solid and prompt. A
postal card will bring one of
my agents to see you about
this important matter.

A Transformation.

Soon after my arrival in Leipsio my
attention was called one day to an eld-
erly gentleman ON the street.

the big soft felt hat, the blue glasses
and the big Jenbrella?"

along as if he were not just sure where

unexpectedly of the greatest of living
psychologists
But the mistake was pardonable, for
few would have supposed that he was
not some plain village burgher who
had Just come up to town and felt some
what lost in the big city. Once in
Wundt's lecture room, however, one
receives very different impression Of
him. AS the great philosopher pours
forth one of his learned discourses those
plain features light up, his bearing be-
comes dignified and impressive, and
you no longer think Of the ungainly
walk and the quaint mannerisms. -

Vanity Of the Man Who Created Title
bat Titmouse and Oily Cannon.
Nothing can be more diverting than the
revelation in their correspondence of the
characteristics of authors. Samuel War
rem, who attained immense popularity by
his "Ten Thousand Year." which APP
peared first in Maya, is delightfully."- naive
sometimes and describes himself In let
ter dated 1S42 as ian honorable and fear
less rival of Dickens" then at the height
of his popularity. He offers to review
Dickens american Notes. and sketches
out his line of criticism:
"There is palpable genius, subtle and
vivid perception. exquisite felicity Of illus
tration and feeling and natural circum-
stances, real humor, mannerism, exagger-
alton, glaring but unconscious egotism
and vanity, glimpses of understanding.
These last should touch on in manly
and delicate and generous spirit. Rely on
Sam Warren. Dickens seems to have been
incapable and indisposed to look beyond
the surface of American manners and So
ciety. Oh, what a book could have writ
tenl / mean who have not only observed
but reflected so much on the characters of
tho people of England and America.
Poor Sam Warrenl 1t seems almost I'M
handsome to show up his little weaknesses,
seeing that "Ten Thousand Year" is
nearly forgotten and Dickens is still Dick
ems. His talents never dazzled his pub
fishers, but he was fieroely intolerant of
criticism or editor interference. II hate
his beastly Names, wrote Alexander
Blackwood to his brother, referring to the
trick Warren had of naming his characters
in allusion either oeleir originals or to
their imaginary qualities-Lord Bulinch
Lord RUSSELL, O'Gibbet (O'ConnelD, Rev.
Morphine Velvet fashionable preacher),
and so on, but he refrained from telling
the author so. Warren's own portrait Is

ing that it was very liberal-much more
than they were worth; that was per-
feotly welcome to both poems to print
in his (collected) works without cost or
expectation, but that be did not think
them equal to what they ought to be,

Old Roman Laws.

The old Roman laws, according to
Colquhoun, conferred on the husband
complete empery over the wife, All she
owned or earned was vested in him, and
he acquired the same rights over her per-
son and property as If she were his natural
daughter. The wife, on the other hand,
acquired all tho rights to child, and to
her husbands name and succession, In the
event of an intestate estate, and she could
exercise all the privileges to which her sex
admitted. ~
The power of the ancient Roman father
over his offspring was originally perpetual,
nor could the child be emancipated from
tho fathers control during the fathers life
except by that parents consent; nor did
he become sui juris until the father (being
himself sui juris) died, when the son was
emancipated by the simple operation Of
the law. In those brave days the father
had legal permission to scourge his chill
dren or to send them, fettered like slaves,
to work on his estate, or even to kill them,
choosing whatsoever means for their TAX

One Of the erroneous impressions that
americans have before they try shop-
ping In London Is that things are re-
piarkably cheap there, and when they
are set right by actual experience with
the fashionable dressmakers and haber-
dashers they get second mistaken idea
that English tradesmen are extraordi-
narily uncivil. This all arises from the
different customs that govern retail
business In the two countries. In Amer
lea we pay cash for goods or settle our
accounts monthly. In England, how.
ever, accounts are supposed to be rem
dered quarterly, and it has frequently
happened that because some patrons
have a social prominence that gives their
trade value as an advertisement the
shopkeeper has allowed their accounts
to run for three and four years. Other
patrons have demanded the same privi-
leges and have abused them, and the re-
suit is that to compensate for interest on
money owing by solvent debtors and for
the sums lost through those who never
pay the tradesman charges a goodly
profit on all his goods, and the prices
are accordingly high. On the other
hand, American women shopping abroad
seem to be bargain mad, and their ef-
forts to beat down prices inspire the
tradesman with much the same feeling
that a well trained butler experiences
when his nouveau richie master eoono-
mixes ON his wines. In fact, looking for
bargains in Bond street is folly.-San
Francisco Argonaut.
