Dickens and Thackeray.
From the London Chronicle.

We have received letter written by Mr..
Alfred Tennyson Dickens, who has lived in
Melbourne for many years. AS the eldest
surviving son of Charles Dickens, he strong
ly protests against paragraph copied into
the commonwealth papers from some Lon
don source alleging that Dickens who
never liked Thackeray. told friend he
could see nothing to admire In one of
Thackeray's novels that was being serially
published at the time" Mr. A. T. Dickens,
with every possible confidence" gives this
statement a most emphatic contradiction.
He recalls the fact that his father was the
chief mourner at Thackerays funeral in
Kensal- Green, and also wrote a biographi-
cal sketch of Thackeray in the .Cornhill,''
of January, 1854, which did full Justice
10 the genius and merits of the author Of
Vanity Fair and .Pendennis.' Mr..
Dickens adds that many a time he has
heard his father speak in the most glowing
terms of Thackeray's wonderful versatility.
More than this. can truthfully say that
never heard him make use of any unkind
or indiscreet expression in regard to any
author or authorizes of his time

In Corea the people tell a Cinderella
story that is much more ancient than that
familiar to western people The key of the
latter story is the slipper, but not so theirs.

name, was the family drudge One day as
the mother was starting off with the favor
lite daughter to a picnic she said to Peach
Blossom: You must not leave until you
have hulled a bagful of rice and filled the
broken crock with water While sitting
there bemoaning her hard lot she heard
tw!ttering and fluttering of wings. Look
Ing up, she saw flock Of sparrows pecking
the fireplace and so skillfully repaired the
crock that but few minutes of work was
required to fill 1t with water. Then she
went to the picnic and had a royal time.

"Panaman."
from the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
"Panaman" and 'Panamans," then it is
to be: to which we cordially add, so let 1t
be. Ever since the establishment Of the in
dependent isthmian republic there has been
some uncertainty to what its people were
to be called, together with much discus
sion and much variety of practice. PAN
amese" was used by some, "Panamists"
by others, and agagin 'Panamanian" was
employed. Official announcement upon
the subject was delayed, and, meantime.
WORD corners fancies ran riot. The same
tnlng occurs whenever there is occasion
for making new word, but not always
does authoritative judgment finally fix so
surely upon the right form as it has
done In the present case
For there can be no doubt that "Pana-
man and "Panamans' are the best of all
the words proposed. 1t is common re-
proach OF the English language that rules
OF analogy do not uniformly prevail in
It, in spelling. in pronunciation or in ETY.
mology. No, though they do prevail more
widely than some critics seem to think
But. however that may be, if analogy
Is desirable and lack Of 1t deplorable
surely We should observe 1t in our forma-
ton of new words. Now, analogy unmis-
takably indicates 'Panaman" and "Pana-
mans as the proper forms for adoption In
this case. The well-nigh universal practice
in America in forming proper adjectives
and names of peoples from the names Of
their countries is to do so by adding to the
latter either m and ms" or IAN and
ans" or in a few cases, for sake of eu-
phony Ian" and '1ans." The formation
Of American and Americans from America
sets the example. So we have Mexicans,
Cubans, Dominicans Haytians, Jamai-
cans. Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Costa
Ricans, Colombians. Venezuelans, Brazil
ians. and so down to Patagonians. The APP
parent observation-disclosures, Salvado-
reans and Peruvians-are really nothing
but slight euphonic notifications Of the
same rule by analogy with practically uni
versal American usage; therefore, we must
say "Panaman" and .Panamans."

With no law of ntau in this country It
becomes an interesting question, now that
so many magnificent estates are coming

generation or SO hence. The news that Mr.
Arson Phelps Stokes is to allow his superb
Lenox estate, "Shadowbrook. to become

Stokes place has nearly a thousand acres
