London, Entr., Feb. 35. Tbo literary
world is agitated by tlie near approach of
important events. This week will see the
publication of Mr. Carlyles “Reminiscences.”
—an undertaking distinct front the “ Life,
which Mr. Fronde is also preparing. Rich
ard Herne Shepherd has also a biography of
the great old man at the point of completion.
There are rumors of a forthcoming sequel to
“Endymion,” some portions of which are
already in print. After this, we are told,
Lord Beaconslield will write no more. Mr.
Cross, husband of the late “ George Eliot,
is collecting material for a life of the famous
novelist Another volume of the “Letters
of Charles Dickens” may be expected short
ly. And a MS. volume of poems by Shelley,
that has been preserved at Cothelstone, a t ,
in all likelihood, soon take its place on the
publisher’s book-shelf.
The interest aroused by the announce
ment that the eminent historian has under
taken the onerous duty of writing
A LIFE OF CARLYLE
is widespread. The Sage of Chelsea gave the
task into his hands before death had sepa
rated the two associates in letters, ror a
longtime Carlyle would not yield to the re
quest that Mr. Fronde be allowed to act as
his biographer. He wanted no biography,
he said. Nor did he. Hut, when it nas
pointed out to him-that, immediately die
great shadow fell upon him. dozens of so
called “Lives”—two portions imagination
and one portion inaccuracies—would issue
from Uie noisome places of Grub street, he
consented; if any record of his life, more
titan that contained in hts books, was to be
written, it might as well be accurate- The
publication of this extended and complete
hiograpby is reserved till a future period, for
the labor is a herculean one. The” Remi
niscences,” to appear this week, is of course
a distinct work, and includes the fragments
of autobiography left by the deceased
author. Much of what Carlyle had written
about his father and his wife was evid entiy
not intended for publication, and Mr.
Fronde, who issues the volumes to the
world, has had to exercise his discretion
very freely in regard to the mass of maun-
script committed lo bis care.
THE PRESIDENCY OF THE LONDON LIBRARY,
rendered vacant by Carlyle’s death, it is
proposed to confer ou the hard-worked
Prime-Minister. I can scarcely see what at
traction such a post can have for Air. Glad
stone, whose hands are too full of other mat
ters to permit of his taking more than a pass
im-interest in literature; and lam not sur
prised to hear that a section of the members
tire getting up a mi uisition to anoUter ptom
ineut man to become their I res ‘ clel ' l ,- 1 1 ®
Prime-Minister has not been consulted in
the matter; but it is sate to say that, if he
accepts the honor, it will only lie at the
unanimous wish of the members of the Li
brary. To a literary man the post is not an
undesirable one. Air. Carlyle utilized it to
the utmost, frequently borrowing from the
Library as many as a hundred hooks at a
time. ,
GOSSIP COXCEBXTXG LORD BEACOXSFIELD S
* NEW NOVEL
is of the usual entertaining' sort lam told
by one who professes to know—whether lie
does or not is another question—that his
Lordship has completed two volumes of tne
story. The author receives the proofs of
one chapter while he writes the succeeding
one,— certainly a very pretty way of book
making. In this lie emulates the genius ot
Sheridan, who finished the comedy of Ihe
P.lvals” while the actors were going through
the play on the stage. As a literary work,
*• Endymion” was a failure; but It has
proved a splendid success financially. ->o
wonder, then, that its noble author should
be busving himself witii a continuation of
that somewhat remarkable autobiography.
It is difficult to imagine what further good
Lord Beaconsfield has in store for
his hero, for he already possessed all
that mortal could wish for. I robablj'
the interest of the work will not
centre in that worthy’s future career, but m
the later political events to winch it will in
troduce us. Entlymitm was a young man in
the days of the Corn-law agitation, and there
is no reason why his political existence
should not be brought down to the last
Parliament. Whew! if it is, won t there he
some fluttering in the dovecotes at at
Stephen’s. Laboucliere tells
A NEW STORY OF THE EX-PREMIER.
Xo one more thoroughly understands the
charm of indirect compliments than Lord
Beaconsfield, and the story, if apochryuhal,
is characteristic. The other day, it is alleged,
die observed to a friend that he owed the best
passage in * 4 Endvinimi ■’ to a conversation
that he had had with him. Elated at this,
the friend inadvertently mentioned the in
teresting fact at his club. “ 1 hat can hardly
be.” said one of those who heard him, * for
Lord Beaconsfield told me only yesterday
that he owed the best passage in ins novel to
me.” The next lime* the elated friend met
Lord Beaconsfield, he threw out that
compliment had lost its savor since
he had learned that it had . aso
been- made to another. u My dear friend,
replied his Lordship, 44 what you say is true;
but observe what a difference there Is be
tween and a man ot your acute percep
tions. lie was deceived, —you are not.
GEORGE ELIOT’S WILL
lias been published. I nave not a copy of its
contents bv me. but tbe personalty was
sworn at about A'WO.OOO, I believe. To im
agine that the gifted authoress of ’Adam
B'ede” and “ Middlemarcli” accumulated
such a sum even from the sale of her books
albeit, the success of her novels was
phenomenal, and the profits on tliem veit
large, as literary profits go—is a mistake.
Sirs. Cross inherited considerable property
from her mother. There lias been some sur
prise that nothing was left in the will to Mr.
Cross, lie not being named among those wiio
derived under it.' Everything-appeared to
be left to uie Lewes family. The explana
tion is now given that, by tbe express desire
of Mr. Cross, who is himself well off, such
an arrangement was entered into previous
to the marriage- , ,
The unhappy Transvaal war can claim at
least the merit of Introducing us to a new
special correspondent of Uie first rank,
namely:
SIR. CAMERON, OF THE “STANDARD.”
Mr. Cameron, who is quite a young man, first
paw real war iu the later stages of the Afghan
trouble. Like most brilliant journalists, lie
took to newspaper-writing: not by accident,
or because he was destined for the profession
by a fond parent, but because «t a strong
natural bent for the work. His contributions
to a Calcutta paper—he having spent his
/ early years in India—attracted the notice of
the editor, and, the Afghan war being then
at its bight, he was asked to go to the front,
—an engagement which furnished him with
just the opportunity he wanted.
The Standard indeed *s the marvel of
Loudon journalism. It has fairly crowded
the Times out of the race. By moderating
Its politics, and attempting thereby to be all
things to all men, it has beaten the miscalled
•‘leading paper” (dubbed the other day the
Behind Vie Times) with its own weapons;
and its foreign special correspondence is the
fullest and most timely that the wires bring
into the great-city. It has lately taken to
Tjublishimr .official documents before they
have been laid before Parliament, much to
the satisfaction of the public and the chagrin
of the legislators.
nr- laboucheke
has just acquired a larce: share of the pro
urietorship of the Pall-Mail Gazette- ilie
fwtSSlir is about to attempt to reaver
some of the ground which it has recently
lost in its futile effort to secure justice to
Ireland, by an appeal to the large financial
interests of the city, and by making a feat
ure of its business columns. Mr. Alexander
Wilson, long associated with the Tlines, has
been invited to join the staff, and ho will in
future be responsible for its commercial
news.
Men: We are expecting a revival of the
Lawson-Labouchire. libel case next month.
Tile interesting family who own the
Bally Telegraph have never forgiven the
editor of Truth for his audacious and sting
ing criticism, and arc apparently determined,
if they can do nothing more, to involve him
in heavy legal expenses. Hut law is a two
edged weapon, and few persons know better
how to handle it than Mr. Labouchere.
A XUMBEU OF THEATRICAL .NOVELTIES
are in anticipation. Mr. Wills has written a
new play, in blank verse, on a Spanish sno
ject, under the title of •‘Juanita, 1,1

Mil. BI’KXAD’S THE COLOM-.L,
a satire on the esthetes who live on jnies
poltcrv, medieval furniture, peacock-teath-
Irs and sage-green, and who talk about
things being “consummate,” “intense, and
(abomination of abominations) “guito too
uiter,” is an immense success at Oie 1 ri tc
of Wales’, in Tottenliani street, rht w lltj
editor of Punch never did better work than
he has put into this comedy. Hie Colonel is
an American -cavalry-officer, who tears the
masks from the faces of the esthetic impos
tors two of whom may be instanced as run
ning up a tremendous bill at a neighboring
restaurant, while they pretend to lit c on the
contemplation of lilies. Mr. Coglilan pla>s
the part with great appreciation, and gn cs,
as he is so well able to do, a splendid Ph-ture
of an American gentleman, instead of the
vulgar caricature ot stage-traditions, lor
this, we, as Americans, owe him our thanks.
However much opinions may differ as to
Mr. Edwin Booth's real position as a tragedi
an, there is no one, I think, who will hear,
except with feelings, of satisfaction, of his
signal triumph on this side as
“KIXG LEAK.”
London Is agreed that his embodiment of the
character, in the latter acts particularly,
shows a power of realization which has not
been within the experience of modem play
goers. It was this character which made
the reputation of his father, rugged old
Junius Brutus, when, at the early age of-1,
he first played the part at Covent Garden.
Under date ot April, IS2O, Hazlilt writes.
“ We have seen Mr. Booth’s Lear with great
pleasure. Mr. Kean’s, so we anticipate, is a
greater pleasure to come.” The critic has,
however, left it on record that this expecta
tion was verv considerably disappointed; ana
he goes on, in his brilliant manner, through
several pages, descanting on the grandeur ot
the character,and marking in scene alter scene
the “deficiency and desultoriness ’ of inter
est excited by Edmund Kean’s performance.
This sounds like unqualified testimony from
an unwilling witness to the superiority of
Booth’s Lair. At any rate, as has been point
ed out before, this entirely disposes of the
absurd question, as the elder Booth s per
formance came first in order of time, took
place when he was young, and when Kean
was in the full maturity of ins powers. 1
was talking with the veteran playwright,
MB. E. S. 11I.AXC1IAI1D,
the other evening, with respect to the imper
sonation at the Princess’. His opinion is
worth more, perhaps, than any other critic s
in England. “ Mr. Edwin Booth.” said he to
me, “hasevidently inherited all his father s
capabilities, and developed them with a judg
ment entirely his own. His conception of
Lear is throughout well-studied. And in the
last two acts the tragedian obtains a com
mand over his audience which is the most
convincing proof of the actor’s complete pos
session of the resources of his art., 1 re
gret to add that Mr, Booth’s support is un
worthy the theatre and the occasion.
SCIIUnEUT’S TIIIKD SVMI’ItOXV
was performed at the last “ Saturday Con
cert” at the Crystal Palace, tor the first time
not onlv in this country, but in the annals
ot music. Poor Schubert, composer of more
music than any other man that ever lived,
mav we not give him our pity now, who,
when just turned 30, died as lie had lived, in
abject poverty, unrecognized, and unappre
ciated. Since his death the acknowledge
ment of his greatness has been tardy, but
complete. Sixty-four years have been al
lowed to elapse, and now we hear for the first
time this glorioiissymphony. “That it does
not still lie voiceless on a. shelf, is due to the
enthusiasm and energy of Mr. George Grove,
who, like a knight-errant, has visited
■Vienna, and won, single-handed, several
priceless relics from thedurance vile in which
rnev were held.” Well is it that he who
while living was so poor that often he was
unable to write becausS he could not buy
paper, has found such a champion. Tender,
sorrowful, heart-broken Schubert! 1.
CHICAGO UNIVERSITY.
Another Stage In the rending Lltlga-
tlon.
In the case of the Union Mutual-Life Insur
ance Company against the University of Chi
cago and others, an amended bill was filed late
yesterday afternoon by the complainant. The
Company sets out that on the 18th of February
it filed its original bill against the University
and Trustees, asking for a foreclosure of the
sljio.ooo trust-deed on the institution. The
same dav the bill was filed an infor
mation w’os filed in the Circuit Court by the
Suite's Attorney against mo Insurance Com
pany and the Regents of the University for
the purpose of setting aside this trust-deed,
but service was bad on the defendants
in the foreclosure suit before it was obtained
on the defendants in the information. As a
matter of fact, the summons in the former case
was served by the Marshal about 10 o clock the
morning of the 10th of February, while the
process in the latter was not served by the Sher
iff until about JI o’clock in the afternoon of the
same day, and then the service was not made on
the proper atretic of the Company, It. B. Kendall,
but was made on one A. G.lowler. The Com
pany claims that by reason of the pnor service
of process in the foreclosure suit the Federal
Court bus acquired jurisdiction of both the per
sons and subject matter, and that if the Circuit
Court should go on and decide the same con
troversy there would bo an inevitable conflict
between the two Courts. .
On the of February Stephen A. and Robert
M. Douglas filed a cross-bill in the Circuit Court
asking to have a decree in their favor, declaring
the original trust to Burroughs violated and at
an end, and decreeing to them tne university
property. They and the Regents ot the Univcr
gitv, as is claimed, intend to prcicccd with the
litigation in the State Comts. The Company
denies that the University or the Douglas heirs
have anv right to me relief claimed by them,
and it a«ks that N. K. Fairbank, the President,
and O. W. Barrett, the Secretary, of the Hoard
of Trustees of the University, and L. D. Boone,
S. S. Boone. L. L. Mills, Carter H. Harrison, 1. N.
Arnold, and Stephen A. and Robert M. Douglas
may bo made defendants to the foreclosure
bill, and that an injunction may be
i<«ued restraining them and their agents and
attornevs from taking any further steps in the
case in the State Circuit Court, either on the
original information or the cross-bill of the
Douglas heirs.
. A Wrestling: match.
Richmond, Va., March o.—An impromptu, hut
terrible, wrestling match, which threatened to
result fatally to one of the parties, has just oc
curred. Two colored stalwart employes of an
ice-cream factory, named Tom Fagun and Bob
White, both of them brawny, muscular men,
challenged each other to wrestle. Without fur
ther words they grappled, and in a very short
lime Fagan proved his superiority by giving his
opponent three successive fails. White re
turned to bis duties considerably crestfallen by
his defeat, and Fagan continued at bis work in
the factory. „ . *
Later in the day. however, \V bite returned to
the scene of his morning’s overthrow, and ex
pressing himself not yet satisfied, bantered
Fagan for another wrestle, and offered to bet a
small sum that be could throw him. Fagan,
flushed with his former success, accepted tho
challenge, and went Into tho contest fully con
fident that he would again come out the victor,
but fate had decreed otherwise. White, burn
ing with tho disgrace of his previous failure,
put forth his best efforts, and after a brief but
desperate struggle succeeded in giving Fagan
the fall, throwing him with such force that,
striking bis head. Fa can became insensible, and
in a moment blood began to ooze from bis ears.
Tho other employes, who had witnessed the con
test, at once reported the case, and a doctor was
sent for to attend to the injured man. Upon
examination he found Fagan’s skull fractured
back of the cars. Tho doctor expressed bis
opinion that the man would die.
The .lustice at first refused to admit While to
bail, but upon further consideration held him in
the sum of SSO for bis appearance.
