Messrs. H. W. Fisher & Co.,, of Phll- adelphia, have in press Our Annual Execution,' a forgotten essay by Will Ham Makepeace Thackeray. This pa- per appeared in Frasers Magazine, and contains two of Thackeray's ballads, "The Knightly Guerdon" and 'The AL macks Adeu." It was reprinted with variations in the "Miscellanies'' of Messrs Fields, Osgood X Co.,, Boston, 1S6a- 1870, but, it is claimed has never appeared elsewhere, and it has never been noticed by any of the photograph CTS. having escaped even the careful search of MT. c. P. Johnson through the pages of Fraser MT. Williams, in his bibiography appended to the "Biolio- eraphical Edition of Thackeray $ works, declares that the two ballads re- ferred to did mot appear to have been published anywhere previously to the collected edition of the ballads In 1S55. In connection with this paper IS an other critical review. "A Word on the Annuals," also from Fraser's Maga- zine. which has been identified by MT, Johnson as Thackeray's work, though it has never been reprinted in either Eng land or the United States up to this time. the issue of Messrs.

 there stretch. in every direction, even due south, on Staten Island and the Jersey Highlands, successions of de- lightful suburbs, villages and town, farms and even country seats. To a majority of New Workers and Brook lynites these are as a sealed book.
 By train but fraction of this coun- tryside is revealed The bicycle, two, three and four years ago, laid it open to a few. but by no means to all. To those who most needed these glimpses on the skirts of the city-the tired women, the mothers, the babies, the restless chill dren, the men worn out by days of work they might as well have been hum dreds of leagues away.
 But now, if people only knew it, these picturesque countrysldes nave been brought to lie at their very doors. The best of them are but little more than an hours journeying away. Five to SIX hours of travelling electrically, at cost of but 60 to 80 cents person, often less (accordine to the route chosen), will put before any one a rich panorama of scen- cry, varied far away up in the noun tains. The fount of what may be dis covered is ineXhaustible; the combina- tions of trips out of New York and Brooklyn upon the electric car of one line or another mount literally into the hundreds.
 The most of them, too, can be taken at low prices. Unless the far distant country is journeyed to an expenditure of 20 cents spells long and delightful rides, quite enough for the average af- ternoon or night With day to spare, Sunday or a long afternoon and even ing there are pleasurings far afield over the electric rail"

The Queen and Jenny Lind.

There is pretty story told of Queen
Victoria and Jenny Lind which shows
how the mOdesty of two women, the
song, caused momentary awkward
ness which the gentle tact of the singer
Overcame.
1t was on q night when Jenny Lind
was to sing at Her Majesty's Opera
House that the queen made her first
public appearance after the memorable
Chartist day.
For the great artist, too, this was a
first appearance, for it was the begin
ming of her season at place where the
year before she had won unparalleled
fame. 1t happened that the queen en-
tered the royal box at the same mo-
ment that the prima donna stepped up
on the stage. Instantly Il tumult Of ac-
clamation burst forth.
Jenny Lind modestly retired to the
back Of the stage, waiting till the dem
onstration of loyalty to the sovereign
should subside. The queen, refusing to
appropriate to herself that which she
imagined to be intended for the artist,
made no acknowledgment.
At length, when the situation became
embarrassing, Jenny Lind, with ready
tact, ran forward to the footlights and
sang God Save the Queen" which
was caught up at the end of the solo by
the orchestra, chorus and audience.
The queen then came to the front of
her box and bowed, and the opera was
resumed.
