THACKERAY DEFENDED.

New York Evening POst.)

New Ork Evening fOSt-}
One day early in 1850, Thackeray
found himself arraigned by two Lon
don papers the Examiner and the
Morning Chronicle, by h latter for
fostering a baneful prejudice against
literary men, by the former for "stoop-
ing to flatter'' this prejudice in the
public mind and condescending to carl
cature his literary fe~llow-laborers in
order to pay court to the non-literary
classes. AS . matter of fact, asserts
Lewis Melville in The Author, Thack-
eray was always proud to hold "a brief
for the dignity of his calling, and news-
paper criticism on this point found
him sensitive. The attack vas based
unon the portrayal Of the literary men
who figured in '~'Pendennis." Thack-
eray's reply was very much to the
point. He denied hat the characters
were exaggerated. 81 have seen the

more significantly does IT demonstrate
the absurdity of the marriage system

Of two people wandering arounu town

monies performed is clearly illustra-
tive of the laxity with which such laws
that are supposed to safeguard this in
stitution are enforced. In New York

The retraction. the apology and the dis
missal have all been granted. Persia has
humbled herself to the dust Having
been stripped Of real authority, it was
hardly to be expected that the govern
ment at Teheran could control the feel
ings and actions Of the northern patriots
who have with fierce determination re-
sisted the unwarranted advance of Rus
sian troops into the country. Russia s
very presence on Persian soil was an
anticipation Of a condition which could
not in theory exist until Persia had re-
fused to grant the demands. Now that
the zealots have unwisely, but quite nat
urally, tried to resist the aggression. they
are to be punished without mercy. AL
ready reports of massacres have come,
and from the tone of the inspired st.
Petersburg press it is evident that the
government is determined to adopt dras-
tice measures to teach the Persians
lesson the meaning of which can be no
less than the complete extinction of the
national integrity. Persia appears to be
doomed, through no fault of her own,
but because she lies in the path of Rus
sian desires and lacks the aid Of perhaps
the only power capable of assisting in
this great crisis, a power which should
stand as the friend of the oppressed, but

siderationS to the Russian policy, be-
cause it is in very practical measure its
own policy as well. The people of this

A Multiple Marriage Swindle.

A man and woman over In New York
have recently found a new way Of
making money without working for IL
IN the ordinary sense of the term
Their plan was to present themselves
10 preacher and ask to be married
After the ceremony the man would
tender check for $50 in payment Of a
ten-doliar fee and ask for change, which
MAS almost always forthcoming. 1t is be-
lieved that this precious pair played
this game at least seventy-five times in
New York before word got to the po-
lice that the checks they had offered
were in every case valueless. Thus
according to present calculations they
picked up something like $3.50 in
Christmas money at the expense OF the
onfiding clergymen Of the metropolis.
This is an interesting episode In more
ways than one. First 1t illustrates the
ingenuity Of the swindler who is seek
