Freeman on Greeaoa as a News- paper Writer.

|

Green used to say merrily that he wrote three kinds of articles for the Saturdey| Review. There were historical and topo- graphical articles, which he said were at- tributed to me, There were light, social articles, which he said were attributed toa lady of high rank, who was believed to write in the paper. There were articles on Matters in the eastern parts of London, ‘which he said were not attributed to anyone , because nobody read them. Of this last class I can say nothing, save that they seemed to be written with knowledge and earnestness. The second class I sometimes regretted; they often, to my taste at least, \showed a flippancy which was unworthy of ‘him. In them he often fell into ihe small tricks of style of writers immeasurably be- neath him. But if any one did attribute , the articles of the first-class to me, he cer- ,tainly did me great honor. In a middle— as we used to call it~of that kind, Green was at his very best. In reviews of books he was, I think, less happy. He ssid many brilliant, many sharp, many true things; but he never got over the tempta- tion, one most dangerous for a reviewer, to judge everything by himself... He never seemed practically to understand that each man will do his best work by doing it in his own way. He unconsciously thought that every man was bound to do it in his, ‘Jobn Richard Green's, way. It was al- (ways made a matter of blame against any writer, however great he might acknow- ledge his merits to be in other ways, if he treated his subject in a different fashion from that in which Green himself would have treated it. Perhaps the most curious case of this was when, in a notice of a small History of England, published in 1873, he blamed the author for keeping to the anti- quated way of dividing by king’s reigns. Jp to that time, every writer of English history, good or bad, had divided in that way;hut his own Short History was going to ‘appear in 1874, and in the Short History ‘another system was going to be followed.

Bridging Halifax Harbor.

The Halifax Herald says that it has been decided to build across the Narrows of the harbor a combined railway bridge and ‘vharf. It is to be 40 feet wide and 1,400 feet from low water to low water, or about as long again as the present railway wharf. It is proposed to put in 20,000 tons of stone filling into the deep channel. The bridge will be built on piles varying from 20 to 65 feet in length. On this bridge and wharf will be laid three tracks. One, on the upper side, will be the main line of the Dartmouth branch; the other two will be utilized for wha:f purposes, from which lumber, timber, etc., will be loaded into sailing vessels and steamers. On_ the Richmond side will be an iron or steel drawbridge 300 or 400 feet in length through which the largest man-of-war may pass. Heavy masoary piers wil! be con structed from the land on either side. The work will be commenced as soon as the Darimouth people give the right of way, and the required permission is obtained from the Imperial authorities.

A Terribie Catastrophe.

A terrible catastrophe happened on the St. Lawrence at Yamaska on the 9th insf., by which two sons of Mr. Paradis, chief of police of Montreal, aged 18 and 20 years respectively, and a child lost their lives by drowning. It appears that Mrs. Mafleur, her three children, and the Paradis went out in two small boats in tow of the steamer Sorel for a fishing excursion, when the skiffs came in collision and upset. The lady came to the surface first aud grasped two of her children, whom she sustained above the water by holding on to the upturned boat until she and her children were rescued, The third child was out of reach of its mother with the two young men, and before any assistance arrived all three met with a watery grave. Mr. Paradis’ sons were stu- dents at the Montreal College, and were on the eve of finishing their collegiate course. They were very promising young fellows, having carried off the highest literary honors last session. Great sympathy is expressed here for the suddenly bereaved parents.

A Fisny Srory.—Clark Cable of Will- owemoe in New York State is a hunter and | a fisherman. The other day he was fishing in the Deleware. He hooked a fine chub, but lost it in raising it from the water. Soon afterwards a two pound eel took the | bait, but that slipped off too. Cable quit! fishing in disgust. On his way home he discovered a large crane standing in the river watching for fish. Cable hurried) home, got his gun, and went back to kill! the crane. He got a fair sight at it at | short range, fired, but missed it. The! crane flew slowly away. Cable said he| guessed it wasn’t his day for sport, and} went home. The same night Cable placed | a set line in the river. When he went to it next morning he saw a crane standing in (thejwater directly over the line. It rose! ‘to fly, but something pulled it back, Oable | ‘caught it had swallowed one of his hooks, Forther investigation revealed the ‘fact that the reason the crane had swallow- ‘ed the hook was because there was a two pound eel on it at the time, and the farther’ ‘fact that a one pound chub had taken the iheok before the eel had swallowed it, The | shub had been caught on the bait, the eel! come along and gobbled the chub. Then’ the crane tock in the eel, and Cable took) \them all in. He insists that the chub, the ‘eel, and the crane are the same ones that he had lost during the day.

CURRENT NOTES.

Farther particulars, just received in Lon- don, of the murder of James Carey, the Phoenix Park informer, by O'Donnell, on board the steamer “Melrose,” in South African waters, show that the shooting took place when the veasel was twelve miles from land.

It is reported that Baron Nolde, a Ger- man land-owner, was recently shot while in a wood near the town of Liban, the Government of Courtland, Russia, owing to the hostile feeling against German land- lords, exerted by Russians among the lith- arlab peasants.

There has been a fearful rain and hail storm in Western lowa, doing much damage to the growing crops. Hail fell to the depth of tive feet in places. One woman was killed, farm property was leveled and trains blocked. The track of the storm was from two to four miles w de.

A despatch to a local news agency from Lisbon says a telegram received in London from the Spanish frontier says the situation is most grave. Bands of armed men have marched to the north,their object, it is pre- sumed, being to concentrate at some select- ed point for a combined movement.

Hon. James Cockburn, ex-Speaker of the Commons, has been gradually sinking for the past few weeks. A few days ago he grew so mach worse that his medical attendant, Dr. Grant, expressed the opin- ion, on the 10th, that his life was only now a matter of a day or so at least. He has been in much the same’condition to-day.

A meeting in favor of state aid emigra- tion was held at the Mansion House, Lon- don, on the 10th instant. .The Earl of Shaftesbury presided. A resolution was offered, providing for the sending ef 200,000 persons to Canada and other British colonies, and for oe them farms in their homes. oney for the purchase of land will be advanced by the state, which is to take mortgages on farms as security. The resolution was adopted. It is proposed to send ten thousand families to Canada next spring.

A few nights ego, Mr. Gilbert, the actor, was standing outside the gate ot his house with his hat off. He had in fact seen some ladies to their carrage, they had driven off and left him standing on the sidewalk, en- joying the cool of the evening. Out ofa neighboring house, where he had been dining, stepped a gentleman, who, after walking a few paces became aware of Mr. Gilbert whom he mistook for the butler of the establishment. Addressing him at once with an air of polite superiority, he seid: ‘Will you call me a Hansom eab ?” ‘‘Cer- tainly,’ replied Mr. Gilbert, “‘You are a Hansom cab.” This odd bit of fun calls to mind Frank Talburd’s famous reply to the man who, seeing him on a bitter niglit without a wrap, said: ‘*‘ Why, Talbard,

you never wear arn overcoat /’ ‘‘No,” re- plied falburd, ‘‘l never was.”’ The steamship “City of Rome,” of the

Anchor Line, arrived at New York on Wednesday last, having made the fastest time on record from Queenstown to that port. Her time was 6 days, 24 hours and 30 minutes. The fastest previous western hound trip was made by the ‘‘Alaska,” of the Guion Line, in May last, in 6 days, 22 hours and 46 minutes. The “Alaska” still retains the championship for speed in going from New York to Queenstown, having made the trip last year in 6 days; 18 hours and 37 minutes. Captain R. D, Munroe commanded the **City of Rome.” She broke a piston rod on Wednesday, disabling one of the engines and reducing her speed about two knots an hour. But for this ac- cident, the vessel would have made even better time.

Bird Island, asma!l village in Renville County, Minnescta, is agitated over a scan- dal of peculiar features. Mrs, Engstrom, wife of a cripple, left her husband and went to live with a man named Stckes. Some days ago one of his children being sick, Engstrom went to his father-in-law’s, where his wife was, to get her togohome and care for the child. Stokes and Cornish, Mrs. Engstrom’s father, ejected Engstrom from the farm, nearly tearing all his clothes off in the melee. On hearing this the citizens of Bird Island decided to tar and feather Stokes, but one of the party, a butcher named Desmond, got drunk and the intention be known to Stokes who, on the arrival of the party, fired into their ranks, the shot taking effect in the face and head of a druggist, producing a painful but not dangerous wound. The crowd, hearing of Desmond’s treachery, turned on him and gave him the coat of tar and feathers in- tended for Stckes. No arrests have been made and the end is not yet.

The Winnipeg Free Press prints a list of the buildings going up in that city this year. The expenditure, so far, in building operations amounts to $1,716,850, and the building season is only a little over half gone. In 1881 the building expenditure amounted to less than two millions, and in 1882 was under four millions. The Free Press, in publishing its statement and referring to the statements about the collapse of the Northwest, says :—-

“The ‘Real Estate Boom’ is a thing of the past, and all well-wishera of the country re- joice thereat.

“*The ‘Trading Rocm’—an outgrowth of the ‘Real Estate Room’ —is also, happily, drawing bear 1" end.

*Volue«f real estate has already approx:- mated a ‘Live and let liv.’ standard,

“The number of ‘store-keepers’ |} as appre- ciably dimi«ished, and js not now seriovsly out of proportion with that of other vocations.

“But none of these dire things alleged by 1 toli-you so people down east,

metropolis thereof, the city of Winnipeg.”

The figures given by our contemporary are certainly very startling, and will be a revelation to those who have been disposed to regard Winnipeg as having reachod its zenith,
