Mrs. Amelia Barr, the writer, is Ascribed as a nice old lady with white hair. Margaret Sangster, the poet, haa the reputation of being one of the clearest-eyed and most sensible of her sex. With the exception of the compos ing room Jennie June has worked in every department of a newspaper office. The two sons of Joel Chandler Harris, Julian and Lucien, are called "Brer Fox" and "Brer Rabbit" by their friends. Helen Mather, the English author ess, wrote the novel which made her reputation in the hopo of bringing back her lover, who had loft her in a fit of anger. George W. Child, tho Philadel phia editor, keeps three houses always in readiness far occupancy. Ho can sleep, therefore, in Philadelphia, at Long Branch, or at Bryn Mawr, and still be at home. He stops at any of his hemes just as the fancy seises him. A. W. Longfellow, brother of the late poet, is a prominent figure in Portland. Me. He closely resembles his famous brother, both in manner and person. He is nearly seventy years of age. He is described as a great literary student, spending a large part of his time in his study. The statement that no book has been burnt publicly for over afcundred years is contradicted by a contributor to the London Star, who says: Not, perhaps, by legal authority, bat plen ty -of books have been burnt in popular fervor of ono kind or another. If I am not mistaken, Mr. Froude's 'Nemesis o7 Faith ' was so burnt by IHgh-Church students at Oxford in 184a" Mrs. Julia D. Grant is reported to have received from the General's book about $450,000, and has n pension of $5,000 from the Nation. She also has the income from the $250,000 raised by Georgo Jones from Jay Gould. James Gordon Bennett and others. She also has tho income from $100,000 raised by George W. Childs. In other words, she has tho income on not far Irom $1,000,000. M. Zola, in an interview on tho subject of journalism, ridiculed the opinion that the work of a newspaper man is a pastime. The public, he said, were inclined to believe that jour nalists passed theirtime favcafes. drink ing places and boudoirs. In his own experience, newspaper life consisted of earnest work. The amount turned out in the course of a single year by a single journalist was truly amazing. At the Saa Francisco-public library they give every one who enters a red ticket, without which he can not get out again. When he gets a book at the desk he gives up his ticket to the librarian, and it is returned to him -when he hands in the book. By this plan, us ingenious as it is simple, any body may safely be permitted to draw as many books for reading as he chooses, with the certainty that he can not carry any of them off with him.

Philadelphia KtconL Nationality of Priza-Flghters. It is an interesting study to go back over the nationalities of prize-lighters from the earliest periods. There ean be no question that Ireland hus given to the world mure real champions than any or all other nations. Jews havo had prominence, such as Harney Aaron and Morrissoy, but the German fight ers have been few :uid far between. Whether it is because they are not by nature adapted to an assault at arms, I do not know. The Germans do not lack courage, as they make good sol diers and swordsmen, but as fighters they are signal failures. (Jo through the list of champions of the present day and you will find that most of them are either Irish or of Irish descent. Sullivan, Killen. Cardiff. Kilrain, Burke, Dempsey, all are Irish lads. Svea Jem Smith, the champion of En gland, is more Irish than any thing else. In fact, the sons of Hibernia seem .endowed with that peculiar courage necessary to stand up and take a good thumping, and they have well earned the reputation of being the gamest fighters. SL Louis Qloom .Democrat An agricultural paper says When flies are bad, wash the horse all over lightly with a weak solution of carbolic acid." We should think It would be a better plan to wash the bad flies all over with a solution of carbolic acid. It might take longer to catch 'era, but it would require less acid. Norristoirn Herald. Little Margaret for two or three nights refused to say her prayers. One night her papa covered his face with his hands and said: "It makes papa feci sick to think Margaret won't say her prayers."
