OBITUARY.
ALFRED HENRY SMYTH.

One of the noblest minds. one of the gentlest
spirits, one Of the most auspicious lives In
American literature. passes from this world, In
the death of Albert Henry Smyth which befell
yesterday morning in Philadelphia To those
who intimately knew him the news of this sud-
den bereavement brings with IT shock so
dreadful as almost to paralyze thought and make
any sort of commemorative word impossible. He
was in the prime of life: he was in the affiuence
OF enjoyment and hope: he had just completed
and published his superb edition of the works
of Franklin together with his Life of that states
man: the echoes of his oratorical triumph at
Paris. where he spoke at the International
yelling of the statue of the great philosopher,
had not died away he had gained an unfading
laurel of fame: he was surrounded with affec-
tionate friends: he was richly honored: he was
dearly loved and the pathway to yet more
splendid achievements in letters and a yet
wider circle and aInpler wealth OF friends
and of honors seemed opening before him.
in long vista of golden promise. His
vitality. alike of body and mind was
so extraordinary that thought of death could
ever be associated with him. He seemed formed
TO lead battalions of thought and to endure for
ever His countenance the beacon light
of hope and Joy. He animated every mind with
which he came in contact. He dsspated all
doubts of glorious future and he dispelled all
detection. He was ripe and thorough scholar.
and he used his scholarship to cheer the onward
march. and not to dispense gloom. He
natural orator. He possessed wonderful mem
ory. and 1t was richly stored with knowl-
edge Of the classic literature Of all lands II Is
doubtful whether. in this respect. his equal ex-
lists among American men of letters. He was
reverent student of Shakespeare. and he was
entirely competent a Shakespeare scholar.
Among his works there is most admirable
book Pericles and Appolonius- He wrote
life OF Bayard Taylor and a charming book
upon the magazines of Philadelphia and the
literary movement in that old city-which he
so much loved and in which he will be
so deeply mourned and tenderly
membered. His ambition was to excel in
learning and to augment the excellence
of American literature. He always advocated the
right. He abhorred and denounced all the
crank" movements of the day, and all the
efforts now in progress to corrupt the pure
stream Of literature with erotic mush. In
word. he all that is meant by gentleman,
Our society can i'll afford to lose such man as
Albert Henry Smyth. Intellectual men find the
strife of this world very hard. advocating that
which IS right, but the best that any thinking
worker do is TO follow in his footsteps. The
loss OF him is unspeakable-but his example
remains. w W.

"The Cat andI thc FlddIe.H

The Cat and the Fiddle dramati- zation of the fairy tales of our child hood. set to music, will be presented at the New Haven theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights this week and at the matinee Saturday. Very few people know that all or nearly all of the Mother Goose rhymes, including the celebrated and familiar legend of 'The Cat and the Fiddle" were not originally written to amuse the little ones and WOO the sand man. They were first published as entries and lampoons on royalty nobility and the foremost men and women of England. High diddle-diddle, the Cats in the Fiddle" was a thrust at the gaiety of Queen Elizabeths court. It was one round of dancing and feastlng and nlerry-making, generally at the ex- pense of the courtiers, who were sa- telites of the Virgin Queen and a number of thege noble garants ruined I themselves with their extravaganza to ! please their sovereign Even in those
 days many of the people looked as 1 kance at all this needless and foolish extravaganza and revel, and some i looked upon dancing as the invention of the devil-the cat being then con l sidered the especial creature of witch- craft and evil, and hence as belonging directly to the devil "The Cow Jump ed Over the Moon" was intended as a direct thrust at Queen Elizabeth her self and Ter vaulting ambition and vanity. These quaint bits of history in connection with our old childhood rhymes are interesting reading and it will seem a surprise to many of our Nreaders that before cH@toons were eyer dreamed of these rn.snes filled their places But there is no political Jig ai'ficance in the coming production of
