A W r Correspondent's Archibald Forbes , In the English Illustrated _ * lne. It was arranged that my nest contribu tion should concern itself with the narra tive of what I know about that lurid epi sode of the battle of Sedan that occurred in the village of Bacoilles. Other topics hod. been adumbrated , and I rejoiced to think that I had found a crutch to sup plement the Bomowhat feeble and precari ous staff of The London Scotsman. I looked in at the office to bespeak the same arrangement in regard to sending round for copy as had been in force the previous day. 1 was shown up to Mr. Robinson. ' 'You'vo come for your chock , I suppose , " said ho , as it seemed to mo a little shortly. "No , " I explained. "I have arranged with the acting edi tor to furnish some further contri butions , and by his directions I have called to ask you to have a boy call round for copy in the same way ns yesterday. " "I think not , " snfd Robinson , with what struck mo as an intentionally aggravating drawl."I don't think wo will trouble you to write those contributions you speak of. I will explain the matter to Mr. Pigott. " I don't quite know what I did eay ; I know I lost my temper ve hemently , and I believe I used strong language. I think I said something about having believed in editorial omnipotence , and my inability to understand this business of one man blowing hot and another blowing cold. Anyhow , I was not going to stand being made a fool of in this off-hand easy stylr and I'd take good care I didn't darken the doors of The Daily News any more. And with that , the porforvidum ingoniura of my northern nationality being - ing all ablaze , I removed myself abruptly from tbo presence and swore my way down stairs into the street. ' 'Iloro , come back ! " Robinson had shouted after mo. "I want to speak to youl" I fear that if ho had acted on the strict letter of the brief retort I threw over my shoulder ho would have had no occasion to give any subsequent orders to his coal merchant. I wua striding up Bouvorlo street , fierce ly fuming behind my beard , when I felt a hand on my shoulder , and simultaneously I heard a voice : "Don't bo a fool I 1 was going to say that I want you to start for Metz to-night ! " I turned and stared at Robin son for it was ho who had spoken in the blankest amazement. Then ho had meant no insult , after all , but something indeed of quite a contrary tenor. And hero was the real chance come at last , then , with all the prestige of a great paper - < per whoso war correspondence was already the talk of the torrn at the back of the offer ; all the ncopo for mak ing a name , if inooed the power to do anything in this direction did abide with mo. It was a wcnderful chance ; but again , what a riskl With my recent ex- larionces should I dare to take that risk ) [ ho struggle of conflicting emotions made me dizzy. SliaKcapearo Sola the I/Hoof HlHNamo Appleton Morgan , In The Manhattan far If 07. Now , William Shakespsaro , loved and loving gentleman as ho was , is under , stood to have been very shrewd in money matters. None know the moaning of poverty bettor than he. Had ho not been so , and rightly so , hia father would never have stirred outside the door ; the Lambert mortgages would have remained unpaid ; nor would the Quinevs have swarmed around for their kinsman's crumbs , and nudged each other to look up good things where ho could place the wealth they eaw him hoarding. Is it not , therefore , impossible to suppose him ignorant of or indifferent to the cash value of his own name ? la it not quite an impossible , again , to believe that , if printed at hia own instance , ho allowed his publisher to dedicate the book to a friend ; that if dedicated to either of hia own patrons , Pembroke or Southampton , ho ( Shakespeare ) vraa unable to write his own dedication ; or , writing it , asked his publisher to sign ill If the escape from these difficulties is not by way of assump tion that Shakespeare sold the use of his imnio to the printers of anonymous poetry precisely oa hois known to have sola it to the printers of anonymoiw playa , then I thoao difficulties are hopeless indued ! SMITH , THE BORE , I lind juat returned from n long absence in Chinn , and 1 was smoking n pipe with mi old chum of mine , whom I hnd loft n spruce young bachelor and who wns now n staid , nourishing married man. man."By the way , " I said , after ft general exchange of yarni and experiences , ' 'just to finish up with , toll mo about our old friend Smith , whom wo uao to call 'the boro. ' " My companion , Jones , laughed hearti ly at the mention of the old name nud s.iid : "But do you moan to say you have never hoard the yarn ? > Voll , I was very nearly letting the cat out of the bag straight off , but as you evidently don't know anything about it , fill your pipe again , and I'll ' toll it to you. Mind , it's n bit egotistical ; but since you've asked mo to toll you the story you must not accuse mo of blowing my own trumpet or of talking about matters which modest men generally leave to other people to talk about. You'll bo astonished when you hoar the cud of it. " So wo refilled our pipes and Jouca be gan : "You know that Smith waa always n great friend of mine , that ia to say ho and I lunched in thocity every day at famous old coaching inn in Bishopsgatu street , which has some time cinco gone the way of moat of the famous old London coaching inns. Smith was a very good follow , but ho had a weak point , and the undue prominence of this weak point at all places and under all circumstances caused him to bo looked upon as an insufferable boro. "Smith's hobby waa Roman England. Now , had it boon anything olao say pictures , or orchids , or old china , or curiou I should not have boon so unsympathe tic , but as I was never of a very romantic disposition , having boon brought up from an early ago in that most prosaic and un sentimental of worlds , the city , Smith's Interminable jargon _ about Roman En gland at times oven overcame my pa tience. "At lost it was intolerable. No matter what topics of absorbing public iutorost were in the papers , no matter how soii- ously I wanted to talk with him upon business affairs , Roman England assorted itself , and my weakness in showing my self a patient listener only served to fan his flame. So I missed one day at lunch , I mimed two , and when I mot Smith in the streets aa I waa euro to do alter these absences , I had to fabricate an excuse and make a promise to bo at the usual place the next dayand when the next day came it may bo imagined how I had to bond beneath a concentration oE the bore which should have boon flung upon me at the meals I had missed. At length I resolved to cut him altogether and sneaked up and down byways aud alloys , for fear of mooting him , like a felon. "I saw no more of him for quite a year. Ono day , however , in the month ot July I met him. ' " Jones old follow1 ! he "Why. , exclaimed - claimed , shaking my hand heartily , 'I made sure that you were dead , or that you had retired upon your fortune , for I hoar your firm has boon making tromond oua strides lately. Now , old fellow , for the sake of auld lang syne , take pity on me ; I'm a lonely bachelor , as the wife and daughter have gene to the seaside. Gome and dine with mo , and I'll put you up for the night change my address , you see. ' . "But the awful vision of jry hours in Roman England touoioro my oyea in its old JwrrlDlo shape ; and I , told him , -and 1 hope as an act of self-defense that it has been * pardoned me that I was going to start the next day for my holiday. "Later on , however , I did go for my holiday. I had been very hard worked during the past year , and I felt in need of genuine rest and recreation , that rest and recreation which are denied those who employ their annual breathing space in hurrying and scurrying over countries and towns at lightning pace , and whose time is occupied in packing and unpack ing , in catching steamers and trains , in squabbling with landlords and paying long bills. "I found what I needed at Boulogne , where I had as much gayety or solitude ao I chose , the finest of air , and was within easy hail of business ; and very thorough ly I enjoyed mysolf. Time sped by very pleasantly. "Everybody knows that bathing at Boulogne in ourEuglishman'a sense of the word is dangerous. That ia to say , there is a nasty undertow out about in a line with the sand-bar at the jetty head , which lias proved fatal to many a strong swim mer , and strong swimming therefore ia almost out of the question , although the of the and-down-stand-in- patrons bob-up - - - - circle ' style of bathing are aa safe here as a'nywhoro oho. "Ho who thinks to have a good breather against the dancing , crested waves In de ceived , as the notes of the guardian's tin horn warn him directly ho starts out ward. "I waa walking on ho jetty one fine bright morning alter my bath , thinking of nothing in particular , ' unless it were the lobster and cutlet panoo breakfast await ing ma in the restaurant do la Jotoo , when I hoard the sweetest of voices almost in my car : "well , mamma , it's time to bathe , so come along. " "I naturally turned round and behold one of the fairest , freshest specimens of English girlhood that I had over imagin ed or seen depicted on canvas. She was dressed in a light dress of pink something or other which set off her supple , rounded figure to its very best , and a white bat ( chip hat , is it ) ) formed a pleas ant contrast to the clusters of wavy brown hair which full on her neck and nciitlod aoovo the gentlest and h'ealthiost of faces. , " 'Very wollmy dear Enid , ' said mam. it a , a big , resoluto-lopk'iug lady ; 'but pray bo careful , for the oca is high and that horrid horn lias boqn going all the morning. ' " 'Never fear , mamma door,1 said Mis Enid ; 'I can swim like a duck , you know. ' And she tripped off down to the sands. . "I am not a maahor and it is not one of the chief items in my holiday pro gramme to ait and watch girls bathing , especially when they are attirrod , an in England , in those horrible blue shrouds which wo call bathing-dresses , but I con fess that I crossed the jetty to watch the movements of Miss Enid , because I hud grown suddenly interested in her ; I watch ed her across the sands and up the steps of the machine , "It certainly was a rough sea and very few people were bathing , absolutely none were swimming , and mechanically I descended - . , scendod to the sands. Miss Enid did not j i go out as do most young ladies first i > " toe , drawn back suddenly with a shiver , then all tbo toes , likewise drawn back but not quite ao rapidly , then by inches tlio entire frnmo except the head. Nn. she bounced out of the machine head first , like n particolored ray of light , and in a moment was striking out deftly and strongly , now ever n wave , ns if born to the manner of it. Farther nnd farther she wont out , as if triumphing in the dis turbance of wavo-crostand floating spray : then the horn blow. Mamma on the < here wns in nn ngony nnd screamed , Uoth nho and the horn might just as well have boon silent , for the wind wai blow ing shorowards nnd the girl could o\id- ontly hoar nothing but the tumbling and the dashing of the waves. I looked about for the usual man in the boat ; ho was paddling nway calmly 100 yards oft" . The liorns blow nnd blow nud n small crowd of urchins nnd fishorwomon assembled Enid was getting farther nnd farther away , Although she wns striking hard for the elioro. The hornman had no rope wherewith ho might have gene out , nnd moreover , na he wna old enough to bo a grandfather , would have been of very little use had ho done so. Mamma was screaming nnd crying with the water over her aklra nnd Enid was evidently fast losing strength , A scronm from her de termined mo. "I tore oil'my cent nnd waistcoat nnd plunged in. I am n good swimmer. 1 remember - member n long battling with iho naves , a grappling with something heavy , but nothing more till I found myself Ijing on my stomach on the sand , a crowd of people ple nround mo nnd two mon vigorously engaged in pumping the water out of mo according to the rules proscribed by tin Ilnmano Society. " ' 11 roviontl II roviontl1 were the first words I hoard.Vhoro is the young la dy ? ' were the first words I utterod. " 'Quito safe , nir ; quito safe , thanks to you , " waa the answer. ' 1 don't know how to oxprosa my thanks to you for your gil- lant conduct. ' "Tho speaker , of course , was Euid'a mamma , so I murmured out of ,1 few common-places about having done whnt any other follow would have done under similar circumstances nnd so forth , nnd as noon ns I felt well enough , made the best of my way homo through the crowd. "Of course this led to my making the acquaintance of Enid nnd her mamma , whoso name was Mountjoy ; for , although I would willingly escaped the prominence into which my deed of momentary enthu siasm was euro to bring mo , I felt under nu obligation to nsk nftor Miss Mountjoy Mid moreover I was smitten with her. So [ dined with thorn at their hotel and wont about with thorn ns if wo were acquaintances of many years' standing. [ think Mrs. Mountjoy must have made apino inquiries about mo before permit ting this intercourse , for she was ono cf those proud , haughty women who do nol 3von deem the saving of n daughter's lifo an excuse for stooping to gush and extra gratitude , nnd I rememhor the smallest perceptible curl in her lips when my name was announced as plain Jones. She was very severe on the plain 'snaps' and harmless holiday folk , nnd people who dined early and who did not dross according to the Parisan fashion shoots ; she was brimful of society nnd society's doings , nnd know more about 'dear duchesses' and 'charming lords' than any woman I ever mot with who condescend ed to spend n summer holiday at such a plebeian watering place as Boulogne. "However , wo got on very well to gether. I was the more enchanted with Enid the moro I know of her. and I flattered myself that my ardent devotion waa1 not unreciprocated. Still I had not pluck enough to make any Berioun ad vances , much less to put the all-import ant question , although 1 had plenty of opportunities , na Mrs. Mountjoy , being ojj > ponderous physique , whs not given to much active oxorcbo , and Enid and I were loft constantly alone. "At length the period of my holiday was drawing to a close , and I felt that if the stop waa to bo taken it must bo taken soon. "Enid had a hobby. She suffered from acrostics on the brain. Every week a pile of papers arrived from England society papers which Mrs. Mountjoy de voured for their fashionable nnws , and Enid for their acrostics , and her excite ment every week as the correct solvers appeared was amusing to mo , who had hitherto regarded acrostics as simple puz zles for young folk. But when I was introduced to the formidable array of reference books , quo tation books , gazetteers , geographical , biographical and other dictionaries , when I often found Enid with a severe frown seated at a table littered with papers , I began to think that , after all , there must bo something in thorn , "Ono evening nftor dinner she said : ' Oh , I would give anything to find out this light ! It's the last acrostic of the quarter and I'm already well up for n pri/.o , nnd I do so nont to beat 'Mrs. Munw' and 'Nil Dosporandum/ nro old solvers nnd nro always winning prizes. Do look nt it , Mr. Jones , and sea if you can milk o anything out of it. " "I took up the paper nnd looked at the uorostto ns if it were a Telogu poem or a rativo edition of the Koran , aud I read out : "Anclnnt ratno of Kiigllsh town , " " ' near a crown. " " 'You see'said Enid , 'tho sides are radical members , so that this fight must begin with R and end with M. I've done all thereat , but this boats mo. ' " "I murmured the linen about a score of times with a profound uir , but the more I thought the further was 1 from solving tholr moaning. "A auddcn idea struck mo. Smith , the Bore , will bo sure to know it. I'll write and ask him. So I said in a low voice : " 'Miss Mountjoy , didn't you say you would give anything to find this outi" ' "Yes that I would In , ; anything rea son , ' she replied. " 'Then , ' iiaid I ; stealing her hand and a glance ut Mrs. Mountjoy , who waa dozing ever The World , 'eupposo I nsk you to to give mo your heart nnd hr.wl ? " "Enid blushed and said nothing ; her hand waa actually in my possession , so ivnuld bo her heart if the bore sent mo back a right auuw cr. . "I stole away to my hotel aud hastily scribbled as follows : "Mr DiiAH SMITHS You will think I'm ro- nuniing u loiitf ioUirrutjted frleiuMiIp for very liitoroillnf , ' reasons.

"What followed need not bo dotnilml ; Kiifllco it to sny that I loft the hotel the betrothed of Enid Mountjoy , nubjcct to the approval of papa. "So eager was I to lonrn the verdict of this final courtof appeal that I traveled to England with Miss Mountjoy and her mother mid put thorn into the train en route for n pleasant Kentish village , whereto I wns to go next week , "It mny bo imagined that nt the day nnd hour named I wns at Uio little rustic station.

" 'Mountjoy , sir Mountjoyt Don't know the name nt nil , nnd I'vo been hero ever since the line was opened , ' replied the otllcinl. "A sudden chill came ever mo. Had I nmdo n mistake in the name of the place ? Wna it possible that thorn were twophcos of the name ? A more horrible thought cnmo ever which I almost blush to record , , hat I had been made the victim of n icnrtlcas hoax ; that my goddosa wna lone by n airon.

Myers Awarded $25OOO In His Blander Suit Against Vcrmllj o. owi , HtlL With great composure a gentleman of mudsomo presence , whoso principle dis- .inguishing feature was a heavy black mustache , sat and listened this morning n Judge Roggors' court to the nddroaa of his counsel to the jury. The gentleman was William Myora , n retired brigadier- general of the regular nrmy. who has lervod his country for thirty-four years , bis last garrison being Fort Snolling , and who retired last year under the thirty- year's service clause Ho waa also the nlaintiif in a slander suit brought by him against Daniel Vormilyo , a young man who had ingratiated himself into the confidence and good graces of the general , and who , it was alleged , had thanked him for favors received in the usual way , viz. : by swindling nnd slan dering him. Vermilyo ia now under nn indictment , but his present wheroabonts are unknown , though it is thought ho is in St. Paul. The slander consisted in the charge made ngalnnt the general of nlionatinghis wife's affections. Every effort was mndo to bring Vormilyo into court and make him substantiate hia assertions , and it was only after the lapse of four months that a default waa taken. The jury retired and shortly after brought in a verdict for the full amount of damages claimed $25,000. This , of course , is considered but nomi- ml , as Vormilyo ii said to bo without moans. A Story of Lincoln , lucJUnupolla Hontlii" ! . Abraham Lincoln , while a resident of Now Salem , 111. , followed various nvocn- ; ions. Witn nil the ropt ho wns "store- cenpur" aud postmaster. On a certain occasion ono of his friends , having learned , hat an agent of the postollico department and n "drummer" were in the village the former to collect what was duo the { ovornmont from Lincoln , as postmaster , .ho latter to receive from him , as trader , what ( ho was owing the firm ro- iresonted by himself and knowing that Liincoln was never overburdened with spare funds , went to the store and offered to lend him a sum oufliciont to moot the claims ho was 10 soon to be called upon to settle , "You are very cind , " said Lincoln , "but I do not think I shall require your assistance. " Within i few minutes the agent entered their irusonco , nnd Lincoln took an old stock- ug from a drawer , out of which ho loured a lot of copper and silver coin , ho luttor mostly in pioros of Bmnll do- nomination.
