How Hawthorne would Hate 1t.

OF wholly different character is Mr..
Julian Hawthornes account Of his father
in Hawthorne and islCircle" (Harpers).
1t is rather puzzling at times to make out
whether the Hawthorne is Julian or Nathan
iel, for there are as many anecdotes Of the
son az of the father. Unavoidably, there
is much intimate matter about the father
which nobody but the son would have told
and that is all interesting. That noted
Boston circle, Emerson and Fields and
Whipple and the rest, has been written
up to safety, and We cannot find that Mr..
j. Hawthornes impressions Of them add
much to the sum of our knowledge. His
comments on his fathers foreign acquaint =
ances are more entertaining and by no means
free from Miniature. Those who admire
him will ENJOY his book and his impres
sionstic sket ches; he cannot leave his father
out entirely, so that there is enough about
Nathaniel Hawthorne to make the book
readable for others, too.

Up a quarrel with us.
On Dec. %, 1877, Count Henckel Donners-
marck again wrote to Bismarck. We quote
a striking passage from the letter Al
the end Of October your Excellency wrote
me, through your son. that 1t woulh eVi-

countrymen IL Ire maintained any inter-
course whatever with Bismarck, Le Prus-
sien. To this can only say that Gambettas 8
prestige in his party is unqualified; the
dictator of Tours is st i'll an autocrat therein.
II you give me permission to do so, would
take II upon myself to bring Gambetta to
you at Varzin. and according as you de-
eide, either publicly or without letting any
enc know OF it, All that Is necessary is a
hint from you The Father Joseph Of the
present Government, the holder OF the
ma ajority In the Assemble Generate and In
q congres Of the two parliamentary bodies.
will proffer you to its fullest extent the
friendly cooperation Of France, in order
to attain what he considers Indispensable
for the ablishment OF settled relations
and the restoration OF confidence in Europe.
and for relieving the commercial and in
dustrial dist tress-viz, the adoption Of a
common attitude on the part of Germany
and France against Rome. the revival Of
confidence between the two nations, and a
mutual understanding with respect to the
military budget"
y To this communication Bismarck re-
piled by return post. He should be very
glad, he said, to enter into personal rela-
tions with Gambetta, but for the moment
such proceeding on his part would greatly
alarm Emperor William, as his Majesty
had been well worked upon by representa-
tives Of the French royalists, and had been
rendered by them very distrustful OF the
republican propaganda. Bismarck added
that he should, 1in Gambetta's own inter-
ssts, consider II precipitate If he were foolish
enough to compromise himself with me- l
attach too great Importance to his retain
ing his authority unimpaired to be inclined
to facilitate his sharing it. He is one OF
the few authoritative natures still existing
in France; and, in view Of his peaceable
sentiments. and of the power-which is
still consderable-of the parties opposed
to him, think that the capital boarded in
him should be husbanded for the present"
A conference between the German I'm
perial Chancellor and the French Tribune Of
the people was actually arranged through
the mediation OF Count Henckel Donners-
marck 1t was to take place in Berlin on April
30, 1878. At the last moment, however, Gam
BETA was obliged to postpone the interview.
In order to take part in an important de-
bate in the Chamber OF Deputies on April
20 As matter OF fact, the two men never
met, nor was a meeting between them ever
again mooted. Gambetta was once. how
ever, at Friedrichsruhe, incognito. as tour
st, and was shown over the house. Prince
Bismarck was away at the time.

exceptional had she been born In any other
age. She h q speaking instance OF the
falsehood OF . prevailing belief that the
intermarriage Of near relations invariably
produces u decadenoe in the ofispring.
The whole history Of the Ptolemys con-
xadicts this current theory, and IN the
last representative Of the dynasty furnishes
the most signal reputation. In the line
from which Cleopatra was descended,
the in-breeding process had been practised
for many generations. four OF which exhibit
marriages of full brother and sister. Never
theless. she was deficient In no quality,
physical or intellectual, which goes to
make up well bred and we'll developed
human being. Her morals, indeed, were
those OF her ancestors, and az bad az they
could be, but it does not appear that degen-
GRAFTON in this direction is assumed by the
theory in question, except as it might be
consequence Of physical decay. There Is
no doubt that, physically, Cleopatra was
perfect She was not only beautiful. but
prolific, and retained her vigor. and. ap-
parently, her beauty, till the time OF her
death, when she was nearly forty years
old.
Though the dynasty Of the Ptolemys
closes with Cleopatra W.. the author OF
this book does not omit to notice the fortunes
Of her children. He holds that. II there
be redeeming point about her character
1t is her constant love and care for Cesarion,
her son by julius Cesar and her eldest
born. whom she associated with her in the
sovereignty whose name she engraved
on the national monument, and whose life
and interests she strove to safeguard, no
matter what might be her own extremity.
We do not hear that she ever assented to
any diminution Of his claims in the inter-
ests Of her children by Anthony, though
the latter may we'll have shown some
jealousy OF their half brother. Cesarion,
W Prof. Mahafy says, is one Of those per-
sonages about whom We would gladly
learn more, but about whom history pre-
serves an obstinate silence. His is a case
like that OF the son Of Alexander the Great
by Roxane, the son whose life is hidden
from U.S. though his title to fame Is not
only his memorable origin. but the gigantic
heritage OF which he was defrauded, and
the captivity and early death to which
he was consigned who had better claims
to be known Of all men than the young
Alexander? So 1t is with Cesarion. He
had reached an age when several Of his
dynasty had not only sat upon the throne,
but led armies begotten children and en-
gagged in councils of State. Yet not one
word Of his appearance, OF his habits, OF
his betrothal in marriage to any princess,
is recorded. We are only told that, upon
their final return to Alexandria, Antony
and Cleopatra had their eldest son, Antyllus
and her eldest son. Cesarion, declared
ephebi Iadultsl that the populace might
regard them as men, At to rule. II any casu-
atty removed their parent. This proceed
ing seems to have been the cause Of both
their deaths at Octavian's hands

A Fnmnu. KnOcI.er.

In the door of the north porch of Dur
ham cathedral is a very ancient and
grotesque mask of bronze. the empty
eye sockets of which are thought to
have been either filed with crystal eye
balls or to have had lamp burning
behind them.
This cathedral was in medieval days
a famous sanctuary where any culprit
charged with crime could find inviOla-
BILE shelter, kindly entertainment for
thirty-seven days and then if still un-
justified or unpardoned safe escort to
the coast and passage oversea. The
only payment demanded was q full con
fession and Il solemn oath never to re-
turn TO England.
From a chamber over the north porch
a monk watched continually to give i'm
mediate entrance to any fugitive, and
as soon as this knOcker on the door was
grasped the rights of sanctuary were
insured The chamber was destroyed
about a hundred years ago, but the IA
nous Norman knOcker still hangs in its
place.-Pearson's Weekly.
