and a medallion of the poet.
Goldsmith's, however, was seldom a
lonely figure, and he gathered around
him at Brick court all the wit of the
metropolis of his day. In 1T65, ON the
strength of the success Of ''The Good
Natured Man. and the fact that he
was making some $500 year, ''Goldie"
expended f400 on chambers .4'up two

carpets. gilt mirrors and furniture ex-
travagantly upholstered in blue velvet
Thus equipped. he embarked on a,
course Of expenditure in which fine
clothes for himself, grand dinners to a
literary coterie and pretty tribes for
venai beauties all bore costly parts.
Johnson, Dr.. Arne. Percy Reynolds,
Francis and Bickerstaff were among
the frequent visitors at 2 Brick court,
but their arrival was not the cause Of
SO much concern to Goldsmith's coten-
ants as that Of some other of the poets
guests. 1t was the little supper parties

er Goldsmith moved into Brick court,
but the income they brought him was
insufficient to withstand the drain made
on his resources by his extravaganza,
his generosity and his taste for gam
bling. Owing f2000, unable to. obtain
further advances from his booksellers
and seeing no way out of his embar-
easements, Goldsmith broke down In
spirits and health. He had to leave
those windows from which he used to
watch the rocks in the grove, which
once stood where now Is Elm court,
and, as he wrote, "often amused my
self with observing their plan OF
policy" Goldsmith returned thither,
nevertheless, to die, and though he was
carried to his last resting place through
rows Of weeping women the benches
of the Temple, appear to have valued
him so little that the very place Of his
burial became forgotten. For that
neglect the tablet came as tardy but
welcome reparation.-London Tribune.

When Wagner was at the height Of
his popularity he visited Vienna. Bar
on Won Beust, then chancellor of the
empire, was Informed that the Prus-
sian party Intended to give him an Inn
mense serenade--a serenade which
would have the air of German protest
against the tendency of the ministry to
make the union Of Hungary and Aus

promised to arouse strong feeling.

sible to stop this manifestation unless
Wagner goes away, and he loves ova.
lions too well. Nothing will induce him
to depart ~
you think so.'' said Beust, with a
smile ~ ..@
An hour later Wagner was invited to
dine with the chancellor. He was fat
tered by the invitation and accepted 1t.
After dinner, at which Beust was de-
lightfully affable and entertaining, the
chancellor remarked: Herr Wagner,
are you Interested in autographs? I
!. have some very curious ones to show
you" And he opened portfolio where
were letters Of Palmerston, Bismarck,
! Napoleon Ill, Heine and others. si.s
: Suddenly turning to a paper, dated
1S48, he said: ''Ah, look at this. It is
very curious. What would your friend
his highness the king Of Bavaria say IL
this paper, which would be significant
In connection with the political ssere-
made which the Germans are going to
give you, should be published tomor-
row in the Vienna papers"
The composer examined the paper
and recognized, with surprise, an old
proclamation Of one Richard Wagner,
who, an ardent revolutfonist in 1S4S,
had proposed to the youth Of that time
to set fire to the palace Of the king Of
Saxony. He saw his autograph and
that 1t might be the means Of getting
him into serious trouble. II
'Very curious, is 1t not, Herr Wag-
nerT' said the minister. - .-., H..
VERY curious, your excellency," re-
piled his guest.

left Vienna, recalled to Baireuth by
urgent business. Strand Magazine.

Amy Robsart.

On Sunday In, September, 1860,
Lady Robert Dudley, better known nm
der her maiden name OF Amy Robsart,
being In good health, sent to fair all
the people of Common Hall, near Or
ford, where she was residing, except
one friend. On their return she was
lying dead at the foot OF the stairs.
Dudley courted inquiry. The inquest
found that she died by accident, and
she was splendidly buried in st.

sador wrote that Elizabeth had told
him a few days before that Amy was
likely to die soon, but he may well
have had motive for a false state

crime that he misdates Amy Robsart,s
death by some fifteen years. Pail Mall

DOG RAN WITH CHAIR.
Owner Left Him Tied to It While She
 Done a Little Shopping.

Shortly before noon to-day wom- an entered candy store in Exchange place and took a seat on chair. II he lady was accompanied by the house dog which she had brought out for an airing and in order to secure the animal while she was buying some things she tied 1t to the leg of the chair. When the woman got up to walk to the counter the dog was well able to take care of the chair and took the first opportunity to make a break for liberty. It went through the doorway with the chair dangling after 1t and made a wild dash into Exchange place and across the street towards Wilson's store and thence along the walk to point about op- posite the five and ten cent store where the chair took two womein in the shins, almost knocking them over. The woman screamed and the dog yelped and at the same time the chain snapped, leaving the char
 where the collision occurred while
 the dog went with all the speed there was in him clear out East Main street. Officer Fitzgerald who was on duty in the center made an effort to
 head of the dog, but the cur had too Imuch of a start on him and before the officer could come within kick
 of the fleeing brute or put hand to the chair that banged about in all directions the damage was done. The women who got the whack on the shins executed war dance on the
 walk, but when they heard the whole of the story the pain left their
 wounds and they laughed at the hu- | nor of the thing.
