It was only some time afterwards flint the roaster of the house discovered lc Ids horror the identity of the visitor. Seldom does one find such 9 curious cembinatton of talenh in one men tai that which gained name and fame for the lute Mr. William Jacks, 1.1..1).. whose will has just been proved at $502,541). Mr. ii.cks, who was of humble parentage, be- gan life in a Hartlepool shipyard, and laid the foundation of his fortune by sav- ing, a cargo of iron sold to it fraudulent Italian. A keen shrewd bus ileac man, he soon earned promotion after chang- ing from the manual to the commercial side of the works, and ultimately found - el his pw'n successful business ns an item and steel merchant. His leisure *slue he devoted to self-improvement, and d.%ekoed not only Ink) a notable man of letters, but became one of the finest Cermet' ecliolars in Et.rope. 11.' wrote several valuable !evoke. the) hest known of which. perhaps, are "Robert Burns In Other "rumples" and "Life of I(isni;rck," the latter earning the praise of all .for- eign critics. And yet \Ir. Jack's educe - lion proper was limited to learning the "three leis" in the village school of Swin- ten, l.unarkahire, Scotland. Mr. Comyns Carr. the dramalLst, has meet many fatuous nein during his career, end has n taro shire of anecdotes con- cerning authors he has known. Two of (hese concern the fondness of Tenny- son and Browning for port. '''tie latter once fled \Ir. care a story about the. port's father. Mr. Browning. senior, see- ing his son drinking a glass of water on one occasion, turned to him ani said, "Writer. Reber*, for washing purposes I (t (leve is useful. For navigable canals, 1 ant told, It is indispensable. ilut for drinking. Robert. God never 111lcn.hel it." Tennyson alae love' his glass of port. On one occasion, when henry teeing pa114 him a visit. the pert sand, "Iry •,g, you like a giros of port. <kin't you. "Yes, I eta," baud the actor; whereupon 'I'ennyenn poured him out n glees of port, end finished the bottle himeeelf. In later years the same little ceremony was gun' through up to a certain point, but on this occasion th port was under the doctor's restrictions. and Irving, m relating the incident afterwards to Mr. Carr, said, "Tennyson took the glass, and t finished th' bottle." The swetlish Royal Family has not been without its love romances. Gustaf \ ., who succeeds King Oscar, is a cult tired man like his father, with an ex- tremely well-balanc.'al mind. Ile has practically held the rains of Government for the last seven years, and has proved himself a rote►• in whom the potpie can place every relinnee. And yet in his with he fell in love with the daughter of a country clergyman, and offered to renounce all his ikoyal rights if his father wculd nlluw hint to n'a'ry her. King Oscar, however, refused, and the Crown Prince, as he then was, was obliged to give up his love dream and marry Prin- .•etis Victoria of Baden, in order that the s..-eesston might be properly secured. (:iiriously enough, however, King Oscar gave way when his second son, Prince (*sane created a sensation. nearly twen- ty years ago, by nnnuoncing his intention -of marrying \ILSs Ebbe Munck, his mother's favorite maid of honor. The n:nrriage took place in i8R8, and in con- sequence Prince Osrar renounced all right; of succussion to the throne. The ye•nngest of the late King's sons Ls Prince Eugene, who Ls a painter by prnfetessfon; end spends most of the year in Paris. whore he has it studio. It i; sni.1 that he clears quite $10,000 a year from his art. Forte me, we are told, only knocks at a man's door once in a lifetime, and i1 re- fused admittance passes by, net•er to rc- (t'rn again. The saying is belied, how. ever, by the career of Mr. George Me- Ct,lkich. n Glasgow bey. who arrived to Auslrnli3 just under sixty yearn, n(p with his. than $25 dollars in his pocket, and who dial the other .lay a million- aire. This is how Mr. McCulloch threw away his first chance of nrquiring a fortune. Ono night, silting in n tiny shanty al the font of the Broken 11i11 niine. seen niter its dtscm•ery, he played a game of euchre with n compnninn, his stake !ring a fourteenth share of the niine itself.
