Lady Byron, who was a highly es teemed friend of mine, spoke to me upon the subject of a new and cheap edition of her husband's works about to be pub lished, and likely to be widely dissemi nated among the young clerk and shop keeper class of readers, for whom she deprecated extremely the pernicious in fluence it was calculated to produce. She consulted me on the expediency of appending to it some notice of Lord Byron written by himself, which ahe thought might modify or les3cn the in jurious effect ot his poetry upon young minds. "Nobody," she said, "kuew him a3 I did" (this certainly wa3 not the general impression upon the subject) ; "nobody knew as well as I the causes that had made him what he was; no body, I think, Is 81) capable of doing justice to him, and therefore of counter acting the injustice he does to himself and the injury he might do to others in some of his writings.'' I was stronijly impressed by the earnestness of her expression, which seemed to me one of affectionate compassion for Byron and profound solicitude lest even in his grave he should incur the responsibility of yet further evil influence, especially on tho minds ot the young. I could not help wondering alsi whether she did not shrink from being again, to a new gen eration and a wider class of readers, held up to cruel ridicule and condemna tion as the cold-hearted, hard, pedantic prude, without sympathy for suffering or relenting towards repentance. I had always admired the reticent dignity of her silence with reference to her short and disastrous union with Lord Byron, and I felt sorry, therefore, that she con templated departing from the course she had thus far steadfastly pursued, though I appreciated the motive by which she was actuated. From Mrs Kemble's Gossip, in the May Atlantic. The Cure for Strikes. This is the war between labor and capital: Capital continually withdraw ing itself from healthful work because it is afraid of losing its price, continual ly at difference with its one friend, with out whom it must perish; Labor sulk ing, demanding shorter time, more wages, dictating imperious rules about piece work and apprentices, quarreling with its one friend, without whom it must die or seek the poor house. To adjust these differences is the problem of the day. One way out of the difficulty is to make the laborer a capitalist. The savings bank is the chief aid in this di rection. Let the worker put a part of his earnings in a bank, and he beconus a capitalist in a small waj. H learns to view the subject of interest and divi- I deads with the eyes of a lender, and he is straightway jomlous of his capital aad its righu.

Charles llarnard , "Scribnerior !y. Stunley ihe Explorer. A Liverp.xd correspondent of the New York Herald interviewed Lieuten ant Cameron as to his explor itinn m Africa. In tho ourse of the conversa tion he asked: ''Did you hear anything of Stanley?'' uYes, I heard of him teveral tunes. Of course he wax away to the mirth ward oi my most northerly paint.

"The headmen and-Portuguese tt utter rt of the Lualaba region arc deeply inter ested In Stanley's trip, and Irequent in quiries were made fur him inytnge. If he is fortunate enough to get through to that point from tne Albert Like region I12 will find very good friends, who will furnish him provisions and ull necessary outfit.

I do hope nothing will happen to the intrepid lellow. I heard many rumors about ttie desertion of Lii men and the desperate strait to which lie bad been reduced; but such reports arc always in circulation, and there was no means of either verifying or disproving them. I can say only this, that if his men have lost heart and begun to desert tho case Is very serious . It will not do any good to knock a few of them on the head. Tne r3t will simply sit down and shake their heads, but go further tbey will not. I c.in tell you, from the bitterest of experience, that it is a dreadful position to find or.e's self in alone in the wildrrnes, among human wild beasts, hundreds ot milca between you and succor, and starvation staring you in the: face.

In 1465 Adolph made Gutenberg one of the gentlemen of his court, "lor agreeable and voluntary service rendered to us and our bishopric. The nature of the service is not explained, but it is the common belief that the archbishop in tended to recognize the utility of Gaten berg's invention. Very comforang it is to learn, from the docomeat certifying his appointment, that the man who hvl invented an art which prosntasd ta re new the literature of the world, and bad made Mentz famoo3 lorevermare, was thus rewarded by the first ecclesiastical dignitary of Germany: "by accepting htm for life as our servant and courtier ; by clothing him with a court suit, as we clothe our noblemen; by the annual gift of twenty mout of corn and two voer ot wine, free of tax, on condition that he (.shall not sell it nor give it away." How delightful it is to be told by one of the dry as-dust chroniclers of Gutenbe rgs life, that there was no reaea why Guten berg should not have been happy.
