GiIbert's Wit.

Brevity, says Rowland Grey In the
Century, was the soul of Sir w. s.
2ilberts wit. which sparkled In chance
conversation no less than In the lines
that he wrote for Sulliyan's operas.
Mr. Grey gives few instances:
The terrible verdict as to certain
Hamlet whose impersonator unwlse-
ly asked him to be candid is historical
Funny, my dear fellow-funny with
out being vulgar" A remark about an
other conceited player was made to a
very limited audience: "Poor -! He
has all the faults of an actor without
he excuse of being one" A word was
enough. He described sweet old
lady, all sloping shoulders and honiton
ACE. as belonging to the early keep
sake period" Another, who was being
-idiculed for the hideous Middlesex ac-
.ent. which converted bad weather
into a vol d'y," was gravely defend
ed by him: "She Is OF ancient lineage,
for 1t is evident she descended from
the Twanglo-Saxons."

attracted him and which he bought,
though the price was $4,000 francs.
When after 1870 Rochefort was sent
to New Caledonia and his property
confiscated Victor Hugo sold the orna-
ment for the benefit of Rochefort's
family, 1t turned out that 1t was the
work OF Benvenuto Celllni, and 1t
brought In 100000 francs.
