Tiiero is a good deal ol elasticity In h
balloon, but there is a point beyond which
inflation meana collapse. Wall etrout blew
its balloon up to that point, and the deli*
cate covering of confidence gavo way.
Ah long aa everything aeetned to bo going
well tho foola continued to drop their
monoy in, hoping to pull out big profits.
When Grant &. Ward and the Marine
Bank wont ^y tho board something moro
had to go. Tho collapse of that remarkable
combination o(, great name, financial
inexperience, abaolutotruBtfulneea,greed of
gain, llneaio and reckless speculation was
a danger signal that dismayed the dabblera
in tho troubled pool of Wall atreet. The
tide begau rising all around, and now it
has knocked away the prop of confidence.
A W?1I alrout Vinnan nannnt fall fnr fun
millions or anything like that sum with*
out making trouble. It is the iirat of a row
of bricks set on end; the other bricka in
that row aro bound to go. The Urine and
banks that have been speculating wildly
instead of doing a safe and sure brokerage
and banking businets cannot stand so
great a pressuro. They are known on "the
Btreet," they are suspected, away goes theii
credit and up go their shutters. Men
who bavo entrusted money to them
for gambling purposes take fright,
refuse to put up more margins, and there
is at once that peculiar kind of "stringen'
cy in the money market" which layf
upuuilating bankers and brokers on their
backs. The bears take a hand to accelerate
the bearish tendency of tho market,
fancy stocks loose much of their value at
collaterals, and there is a general breaking
up among men engaged in the wholesale
swapping of jack-knives.
What has happened waa to havo been
expected. It has happened before. It
will happen again. It indicates no gener
ui uiib juuuiicbd in mtj country, ur uvea in
New York. It means that the speculator
had outepeculated themselves, and that
Wall street has stoppod for a moment in ite
mad*whirl to tabo breath. It is possible,
of coarse, that by reason of the intricate
ramifications of trade legitimate bustnesa
may be embarrassed to some extent,
bat the present view of the Bitnation doet
not jaBtify any great apprehenson on this
score.
There is an abusdance of money in the
country, though gold has been flowing on!
faster than it ought tc?forced out by the
superabundance of silver. The general
trading of the country, though not in a
buoyant condition, givea no sign of panic,
Tho depression has como through a steady
shrinkage of prices, giving time to the prudent
to prepare. Fortunately a panic in
Wall street.doea not necessarily mean a
panic in the country.

London Daily Scvs.
Some months ago an educational journal
requested its rcadeia to name the ten
moat distinguished Englishmen of letters,
Two or three hundred people voted, and
we presume that the prizo was allotted to
the porson who in the judge's opinion
made out the best liaU The judge appointed
by the paper waB therofore the
measure of the excellence of modern Englishmen
of letters, and. as far as we remomber.
he preferred the voter who
'placed'' Mr. Browning first. A literary
paper named Critic and Good Literature h?3
Htarted a similar competition in New York.
It is curious to compare the results of tho
voting in each case. Iu England there
wero fivo poets who could not uo left out of
the first ten. The poet laureate, Mr.
Browning, Mr. Swinburne, Mr. William
Morris, and Mr. Maunew Arnold were,
wo tUink, universally recognized ps attaining
to the place of pride. 01 these five,
two?Mr. Arnold and Mr. Swinburne?are
well known as critics as well as poets,
though doubtless their highest claims and
moBt cherished protenoions are poetical.
Mr. William Morris has also written prosp,
on art and socialism. Mr. Browning and
Lord Tennyson are poetfl.and, in literature,
poets only. In spite of people who despise
the poetry of the present (and who
certainly do little to holp it by their own
effusions), our fivo poets may speak in the
gate with any fivo opponents now living in
Europe or elsewhere. In the American
ten, as selected by the readers of the Critic,
there are alao five or Bix gentlemon who
have written verso. But their verse is by
no meanB thoir only claim. There ia nt
most only one American champion bo
Surely and simply a singer as Mr. Brown)r
and the laureate. TIiiib Dr. Oliver
"Wendell Holmes is a physician and profen
or in the first place, and a humorist
and a novelist, and last of all a poet. In
verse his pieces are chitfly of a light and
mirthful tone. Mr. Lowell, who comes
next, will everywhere be acknowledged as
a poet of no mean credit, but ho la a diplo- I
mat 1st an well, and a critic of hi?b renown. 1
We now come to Mr. Whlttler, who la only
known, in thin country, at loaat, aa a poet,
the poet of abolition of slavery. \V hen
wo reach Mr. Aldrich wo find a poet much
more honored in hifl own country than in
ours, where, indeed, we recognize bo many
TonnyBonlan and other echoes in his verses
that we scarcely admit hla claims to origin*
alily. Finally, Mr. Stedman is a man of
business first and a wiiter of poetry next,
while probably his1* Victorian Poets," a set
of criticisms, is the work of his best known
Inn. 1
Gould wo poll votes on American mon
of letters here, probably Mr. Bret Iiarte
would be higher In the lint than the place
the eii<ht, assigned him by the readers of
The Critic. Mr, Harte, too, !b a versifier,
and a very clever versifier indeed. In the
kill of the cheerful muse, in the field of
Thackeray aud l'raed anu Prion, Mr. Bret
Iiarte Is an easv first, excopt for "The Bigelow
I'apeiH." Mr. Harte'a vein is not very
deep, and he has perhaps already found
moBt of the "placers" and ''pockets0 on his
"claim." But what is good of him ia all
Kood, all original, which we are apt to for*
get in the multitude of his imitators, Mr.
liowells, of course, has a well-deserved
place for his noveta, if not for his dramas.
Wo miss the companion name so familiar
to Englishmen; the name of the other of
the "glittoring Dioscuri" as tho poet says,
of American fiction. But then the list is
only that voted by the readers of
The Critic, who aro a limited and
perhaps peculiar public. * In England
tho author of "Democracy" would have
"romped in" long ahead of Mr, Aldrich
and Mr. Grant White, but "Democracy"
seems more popular here than in the States,
at least among literary folk. On the whole,
comparing our great men with thoso of
America, wo do not seem to ourselves to
"tako a back seat." We can set Mr. Bus*
kin against Mr. Richard Grant White, Mr.
Matthew Arnold against Mr. Stedman, Mr.
George Meredith to pair off with Mr. llow
ells, while Mr. Browning and the laureate
correspond to Dr. Holmes and Mr. Lowoll.
Comparisons are odious, but the company
would have many pleasant elements in
which all these gentlemen met But why1
, does tho American voter leave out Mark
, Twain? We would not jjive Mark Twain
/or a wilderness of Aldriches and Grant
Whites. Does America Know noimng o?
her greatest men, or liaa a humoristTeca
honor than a modhi in hia own country?

The iesuing'of an imperial decree forbidding
the wearing of round hate, frock-coats,
vesta without sleeves, and pantaloona was
Huppoaed to ba a means of gratifying a
grudge Paul bore towardaJEugliahmen. His
aversion to round hats saems to have been
constitutional. It was more expedient that
the hateful garment should be proscribed
than that the tranquility of a Czar should
be disturbed. The sudden apparition of
crowds of bare-headed gentlemen on the
streets of St. Petersburg announced the
new decrer; wherever a round hat appeared
it was snatched by ambushed policemen,
and the muscular pedestrian who
ventured to repel the assault and
knock down the thief was carried before
the guard and fined. The combative Encliehman
wa3 of course the chief actor in
these street broils. By the influence of Sir
Charles Whitworth the ukase, so far as it
! nd'^nln,! fn?ai(mnva ,,-oa mn/titiail.
oi the police waa instructed not to confii
cate the head-dress, but to detain its wearer
till evidence waa produced that be waa not
a Kuesian either by "birth or naturalization.
Paul's hatred ot hate was of old standing.
While Grand Duke, and living at Gatschina,
he saw a workman wearing one.
He caused the man to be brought before
him, and administered to him a lecture on
his indecent attire. Turning to the Grand
Duches?, Paul asked her lor some pins,
and raising the flaps of the round hat
transformed it into a cocked one, and ordered
the workmen to wear it so till it was
past service. The ukase cauied a run on
the shops for head dresses that were
not a civil offense, and es the stock was
soon exhausted people had to walk the
streets bareheaded, or batter their hats
into another category. An ambassador
who ventured to laugh too loudly at these
eccentricities had his passports returned.
Paul paid the dress of Englishmen the
compliment of a special police decree.
The costume he enjoined waa a three-cornered
hat, a long cue with a curl at the
end of it, a single-breested coat and vest,
buckles instead of latches at the knee1

seeing one of the hated race wearing
long boots, he sent aoine policemen to cat
them into the size of shoes, but as the man
refused to be reformed, they dragged the
boots off and left him to go home in
his stockings. It is written somewhere
that a lady at Court provoked
the imperial displeasure by wearing her
hair too low at the neck, and that as a punishment
she was ordered into closs con.
fineinent and fed on bread and water.
Again, an English servant was dragged
from a Bledge and caned on the street for
wearing too thick a neckcloth. The ini
habitants of St. Petersburg fled in all di,
rections when they saw the Czar's carriage
in the distance, only to be followed by
' mounted Cossacks, who brought them
back and compelled them to prostrate
themselves in the mud before his Majesty.
A short-sighted Englishman, who pleaded
defective vision when aiked why he had
1 skulked down a back lane, was ordered to
1 wear spectacles. He was known in the
Capital ever afterward ag "tho gentleman
who wore spectacles by ukase."

Whenever Mr. Charla Reade waa ani
gry, he would pen the meet truculent epis.
tlea.to tlio object of hia anger; but, in liis
; private relations, a more kind, courteous,
. and considerate man never breathed. It
; was difficult to realize that the solt-toned,
: soft-hearted gentleman could be the author
of the fiery missives which periodically
appeared in the prcci. As a writer, he always
had a mission, and, although ho
. looked well after hia rights, he never
weighed popularity against principle. I
remember once aitting with him in a box
during the first night of ono of hia playa.
It wrb a failure, aud the audience waa bei
uinninc tobies. "Iam afrAid." muM t>,?
despairing manager, "lhat the play is not
meeting with universal approval." "If
you wished, Bir," said Mr. Keade, "for a
play likely to pleaae an audience, you
should not have asked me to writo one
for you." At rehearsals he certainly did
ineiat upon actors and actresses penetrating
theuiEolvea with.hia conception of
their part?, but ho always waa the first
to recogniza humble merits. On one occasion
the girl playing a small servant's part
had to be on the Btage, while another was
fondling a doll which reprc2en*ud her offspring.
Charles Keade was narrowly watching
the byplay, and the next day the girl
received a little bracelet from him, accompanied
by a note congratulating her upon
the affectionate mannor in which alio had
glanced at the doll, and telling her that if
she only perfiovered in playing the smalleat
parts with feeling she would livo to be
a great actren. "The Cloister and Hearth"
is, to my xnind, the belt of his novels. In
those dealings with modern life there is
almost always a vein of exaggeration of
thought and sentiment which irritates.

| campus is an miiammation or Bwelling
of the ridces or bare in the roof of a horso's
mouth behind the upper front teeth. It
generally occurs in young horses while
| shedding their teeth or putting tip the
tushes. Sometimes, howover, it comes on
older horses, owing to indigestion, a common
cause of which iB overfeeding on grain
after ft run on grara. Tho mucous membrane
of the roof of the mouth swells ao
that it projects below tho level of the nip- ,
pero and is so tender that the animal cannot
eat its food unlecs it bo very soft. <
When this condition is duo to dentition
lancing the gums alone will often
relieve. Scarification of the affected part
with n sharp penknife or lancet will cause
the swelling to subside in a day or two. .
If the lampas is owing to the catting of a '
tprinder relief will be afforded by an Incision
in the form of a croB9 in the protrud- :
log gum. After lancing the mouth should
be waBhed with a Bolution of tlncturo of i
myrrh, two ounces to a pint of water, or a :
solution of alum In water twice a day for
three or four days, during which tlmo feed j
brau maBhtH or other soft feed. Often all :
that is needed in treating lampai io to
pponge the mouth two or three times a day j
with a weak polutlon of alum, In no case :
should,the practice of "burning" the bars of
the mouth bo followed.
