The Ileum of Scott. Although the Waverley Novels are eepecaially to be regarded as his torical romances (their chief merit lies in the native homeliness of some of the characters, the dram- atic excellence of some of the dia- logues, azicl the ,pleasant air of comedy wshiee inspires the au'thor's treatment.

Certain eharaoteristic pttsenagea, such as Drenthe Din- manit, Andrew Fairserviee, the Bailie, Mr. Oldbuck, Cale:b Balder - atone, Caddie Head'rigg. It is the talk of these and their like which has made the Waverley Novels as familiar to us as household words, not the historical trappings, which were very easily imi'tetecl by .Scott's Followers and admirers. Scott, especially when lie was dealing with hiss own caunitrymen, had a very fine ,psychological sense, and many of his creations are replete with the richer kind of humor which is the very salt of literature.

He said that last 'summer Auetria- Hungary, without teaching any agreement, and without giving Italy any notice whatever, even diad icing the advice of Italy that moderation be observed, had scent to Serbia on July 23 an ultimatum which was the cause of the preeent conh•agration. Thus Austria-Hun- gary had disturbed the status goo in the Balkans, treating a situation which was of advantage to lteresif alone. Stedh .a course of violence made benevolent neutrality impos- sible, for the reason that Auetrta- Hungasy was fighting to attain' on object diametrically opposed to the vital interests of Italy, her ally. Nevertheless, for a period of sev- eral mantles Italy endeavored to bring about; a situation favorable to the re-establishment of friendly.re- lations between the two countries, but these negotions brought no practical restate. Consequently. the alliance was denounced by the Dake of Avarno on May 4. The Dti,ke on this occasion said Italy mac confident; of her rights and he affinmed to the Austro :Hungrysian Gove4•mnent "that from thus 1110 - meat Italy resumes entire liberty of action, declaring that her treaty with Austria-Hungary is hereby annulled and without effect."
