Our Book Table.
The May number of the Century Itlus- trated Monthly Magazine begins Volume XXXVIII. The article **Round About Jerusalem,” has been finely illustrated, is well; written, and sure to please those | whose minds are prone to turn enquiringly to the surroundings that were familiar to the Man of Sorrow.
The account of Samoa at this time, is a real contribution to our little knowledge of the Is'es of the Navigators, and as the peculiar habits of the Samoan are well ex- plained, and faithfully sketched, the inter- est in the Berlin Conference of the three Powers, ought to be correspondingly in- creased. Itisall of a very satisfactory character, and as usual with the Century, will be widely read. _ Published by the Century Co., Union Square, New York City. ?
‘* The Painters of Parma,” by Sylvanus Cobb, jr., has been 4ssued by publisher Win. Bryce, of Toronto. It is full of plots and pleas, and is a very readable Italian story of love, mystery and adventure.
‘** The Secragville Bandits,” is followed by other stories in the same volume. The publisher, Woodburn, of Ottawa, felt there
‘was rather short measure for the price,
has made it up with several others. Ist, ** Jack and Jim”; 2nd, ‘* Little Carl and the Blue Cap”; 3rd, **The Earl’s Revenge”; 4th, “*Tommy Dodd’s Christmas Debt”; Sth, **Miss Chippy’s Little Game”; 6th, ‘**The Phantom Partner”; 7th, ‘‘ Milly McCraw’s Adventure”; 8th, ‘* How two Kids Camped Qut”; 9th, ‘*The Magic Draught,” and one*more called ‘ The Triumph of a Walking-stick.” It is a very fair mental dinner of ten courses.
No. 59 of Bryce’s Library is called ‘**The Reproach of Annesley,” and is chap- tered in six parts, for the purpose, pro- bably, of giving the reader good breathing time as he proceeds. It is varied enough to be interesting, and incident enough to keep a sleepy student awake.
A sort of two-in-one volume comes from Publisher Robinson, of Montreal. The first half isa kind of ghost story of anno 1586, full of good points and worth read- ing. The other halt is a capital story of a blacksmithing girl, whose eccentricities were all on the right side. It is good all through, and ends as it ought to, in the arms of mutual love,
Red and Blue Pencil.
SHELLEY’S FATE,
(The Dominion Illustrated.)
Str,—Upder the healing of ‘Red and Blue Pencil,” April 27, you §peak of the death of the Poet Shelly; “A storm came on and the boat was upset.” But how? You further say: ‘In Trelawney’s;‘Record’s’ the burning and the rescue of the boat from the flames are described.” Trelawney’s name is thus con- nected with the death. In the winter of 1882-3 I was at Leiric and at Shelley’s house and was speaking of the fact over the dinner at the tabled’hote at the Croce di Malta at Spezzia, where 1 was staying. My vis-a-vis happened to he Sir Charles Goring, whose mother was the daughter of a kind friend of my boyhood, Colonel John Harvey, of Thorpe, next Norwich. After dinner Sir Charles told me that his mother had married (the second time) E. Trewlawney, Esq., and that when one of his half-sisters was in Italy (a few years before) she had been called to the deathbed of an old Italian ;boatman, whe, having heard that a Trelawney was at Spezzia, availed him- self of the opportunity of making a confession —viz., that the “Don Juan” was not upset accidentally, but purposely, for the purpose of plunder, ‘This curious story Sir Charles did not say whether he believed in or no; he merely gave it as his step-sister gave it to him. Iam sorry to say Sir Charles died in November, 1884, so that I cannot appeal to him; but I give the story, as i think it too curious to be altogether lost.
Davin C. Moore.
Stellarton, N. 8,
In the volume on ‘* Shelley,” by John Addington Symonds, in the ‘* English Men of Letters ” series, edited by John Morley, we find just a hint of the possibility of foul play. ‘* In fact,” writes Mr. Symonds, in describing Trelawney’s perplexity, soon to be changed into consternation, ‘* though Trelawney could not then be absolutely,sure of the catastrophe, she had sunk, struck in all probability by the prow of a felucca, but whether by accident or with the inten- tion of running her down is still uncertain.” If the story which Sir Charles Goring told to Mr. Moore be accepted as based on fact, the darkness of a still deeper tragedy over- hangs poor Shelley’s fate.

He fell from a stool, under the feet of the animal which was fastened in the stanchions.

Marine Matters.

The schooner H. S. Tierna arrived at San Francisco on Tuesday night, bringing Captain Saxe and crew of six men of the schooner Addie C. Haseltine, cast away on Ebon Island, March 19th last, during a terrible gale.
Advices from San Francisco are to the effect that the steamer Rockton, which brought the American sailors from Apia, is in a very dilapidated condition. The ves- sel has accommodations for 250 men, but 444 were crowded into her, and the confu- sion and suffering of the men thus occa- sioned was terrible. The Rockton was a cattle boat, and the food and water was bad and unfit for human beings. In addition to this condition of affairs there were 14 Chinese servants and waiters, and had first- class accommodutions for keeping an opium joint going all through the voyage. As another indication of the mismanagement of affairs there were only six small boats of four oars each aboard the Rockton, totally insuflicent in case an accident happened to the vessel.

Dr. Cronin. FACTS CONNECTED WITH HIS APPEARANCE,
YESTERDAY our despatches gave particu- lars of the finding of the dead body of Dr. Cronin, the well known Irish-American, in a sewer in Chicago, This information we to-day supplement with some particulars as to his disaypearance. Dr. Patrick H. Cronin wi. ‘ae leader of one of the Chi- cago factions of the Irish Nationalists. Early on Saturday evening, May 4th, a young man drove .p to his office and resi- dence, No. 465 orth Clark Street, Chi- cago. He rushed into the doctor's office and told him that a man at Sullivan’s ice house in Lake View had _ been terribly in- jured, and must have his attendance. Securing his instruments Dr. Cronin jump- ed into the waiting buggy and in a moment was rolling northward, He did not return home that night nor Sunday, and jMr. Conklin, with whom he had lived nearly ten years, reported his disappearance to the police. Sullivan was seen, and said that nobody had been hurt at his ice house, nor had Dr. Cronin been there. Leading Nationalists, including J. Scanlan, declar- ed it their belief that Dr. Cronin had heen murdered by members of the Irish socities who were opposed to the doctor’s methods as a nationalist. The missing man was re- garded by many as the apostle of dynamite among the Irish nationalists, and many lrish- Americans are of the opinion that the advocacy of his doctrines had retarded the progress of home rule and other movements for bettering the condition of that race in the old country. Officers Smith and Hayden, of Lake View, early on Sunday morning saw a carpenter's wagon with ‘two men, drawn by a bay horse, running at a furious rate towards the north. There was a large trunk in the wagon. Both ofticers saw the receptacle. Later at Clark and Diversey street they heard a vehicle rumbling over the pavément. It proved to be the same old carpenter's wagon, this time. Hayden noted the mens’ appearance as well as possible, but thought nothing strange in the ocecur- ence. Alderman Chapman, of Lake View that mcrning saw three men standing around a trunk near Setzer street and went to the spot. The cover of the trunk had been forced open. The interior was be- spattered with blood and partially filled with absorbent cotton, which was saturat- ed with gore. Chapman drove hurriedly to the Lake View police station and gave the alarm. Capt. Villiers and a detach- ment of officers hopped into the patrol wa- gon and made a furious run to where the trunk stood. Whenthey got there they found a large crowd of gaping men and boys, The trunk was taken to the station house. Captain Villiers found enough evi- dence to satisfy him that a grown person had been murdered, thrust into the trunk and then carted tothe spot between two cemetries. Thetrunkis large. A man six feet tall could be crammed into it. An eXamination showed that murder must have been committed. Villiers also found a lock of brown hair,
A FEW DIS
The Parnell Commission.
WILLIAM O'BRIEN GIVES PURTHER EVIDENCE
In the Parnell Commission on Wednes- day, editor William O’Brien contiaued his testimony. ‘There were some amusing pas- sages between the witness and the attorney general during the cross-examination, and a sharp contest of wits in which Sir Richard by no means came out best. Being asked if he approved of the way the war of land- lord and tenant was carried on, Mr. O’Brien replied that it was legitimate for a man who chose the side of a landlord to de- fend landlords. O’Brien denied that he hadever published in United Ireland articles inciting to putrage. The league, he said, was founded chiefly to oppose secret land- lord combinations. The landlords had formed a combination having a nominal capital of £1,000,000 for the purpose of carrying out evictions by whulesale and re- placing evicted tenants with colonies of tenants from other countries. He had been a member of the committee of league since its organization. The witness never heard a suggestion to encour- age outrage. Several branches of the league have been suppressed in consequence of strong language used at meetings and excessive boycotting to which they resorted. Witness attended convention in America in 1886. He had no connection with dyna- miters while there. The bulk of those who atvended the convention were of the highest standing. Witness saw Patrick Ford at the convention. He appeared to be sorry for the attitude he had previously taken. The cross-examination of O’Brien was conducted by Attorney General Web- ster. Witness said he could not produce any record of the league suppressing branches or protesting against boycotting. He did not consider boycotting unconstitu- tional. It was simply Irish for blackball- ing. He drew a distinction between crimin- ality and illegality. ‘* The Irish,” he said, ‘**have an earnest, healthy repulsion for criminality;”’ as to illegality, meaning irre- verence for the law, as the law is, ** illegal- ity is bred in us.” This remark occasioned laughter.

Personal,
It is said that Mr. Parnell will go to Edin- burgh at the close of June, and will receive the freedom of the city with due ceremony.
If Mr. Thomas Lynch, jr., signer of the Dec!aration of Independence, could have fore- seen the future, he would have employed his spare time in writing letters and storing them away to be discovered by his descendants, 100 years later, A New York dealer in auto- graphs recently paid $4,000 for a letter by Lyuch—the highest price ever paid for such adocument. Letters by Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock and other worthies of the re- volutionary period can be bought for $20 a piece or less, but the value of an autograph, like that of a diamond, depends a good deal
on its scarcity,
