Huxley and Arnold.

Dean Farrar records in his "Men ]
Have Known" an amusing and perfect.
" good natured retort which Mr.. Mat
thew Arnold provoked from Professor
Huxley, for the better appreciation OF
which it may be added that the ''sweet-
ness and light, of which Mr.. Arnold
wrote, were exemplified in his own very
airy and charming manners:
l sometimes met Huxley in company
with Matthew Arnold, and nothing
could be more delightful than the con-
versation elected by their contrasted
Municipalities.
l remember walk which once took
with Thorn both through the pleasant
grounds of Paris Hill, where Mr. Ar
nold's cottage was. He was asking Hux-
ley whether he liked going out to dim
ner parties, and the professor answered
that as rule he did not like it at all
"Ah," said MIR. Arnold, ~ rather
like it. 1t is rather nice to meet people "
"Oh, yes" replied Huxley, "but we
are not all such everlasting Cupids as
you are.

ing of that sort would happen in Cleve-
land, but an incident which occurred in
one of the high sohools-we will not
designate which one, as Principal Har-

will serve to advise US that some Chi
cago children must have been recently
enrolled on our school list.

Tincture of rhubarb,
Tincture of cayenne,
Spirits of camphor.

drops ih water; to be repeated In Is or 90
minutes II necessary.

Busted, then and now practicing phar.
macist in this city. 1t was published daily
in the Sun during the summer of that year;
