Then I would drop the appointed address at the end of the service, and substitute for it a very plain-spoken extempore sermon." Mr. Jones has had the satisfaction of seeing these unpromi&ing marriages turn out satis- factorily. The Despotic Lady. By this time Mr. W. E. Norris must have produced as many novels as any man writing, and, considering the fecundity of his output, it is remarkable that he should have produced nothing which is actually dull and ineffectual. For his method is always of the simplest, his stories are compact of the least heroic elements, and his toying with the tender passions never strengthens—never, indeed, is meant to strengthen—into anything of vital interest or import. He is the story-teller of an idle afternoon, and fulfils his function with ease and grace. His latest volume—"The Despotic Lady" (Methuen and Co.)—shows, indeed, how far it is possible to carry the dainty method without a serious failure, for never was a book that skimmed so near the thin ice of monotony and yet evaded a catastrophe. "The Despotic Lady" is a col- lection of short stories, and in them the fashion of Mr. Norris's art is carried to its logical conclusion; the beaten gold is reduced to the flimsiest leaf imaginable. The story which gfives its name to the book. and which fills almost half the volume,' deals with the intrigue by which a young and penniless minor poet was enabled to wed the daughter of a purse-proud and puritanic matron, and it is scarcely possible for an atom of interest to be spread more ingeniously over a, broad sheet of matter. In another tale, which is mere farce, the interchange and confusion of various bottles, containing red lotion, curacoa, and hair-dye, are made to work havoc in a country house party—a trival motive tr;via]ly treated. And yet, in a certain fashion, the stories have their interest. They triumph by the superiority of manner over matter, and are an admirable example of the power of style. Ill-written, they would be impos- sible^ treated with Mr. Norris's playful cynicism thf,y become effective. A New Novel. It is quite refreshing to find a new novel which is really worth leading, and there are at least two points about "LPs Egyptian Wife" (Digby Long), by Mr. Hilton Hill, which ought to ensure it a, considerable amount of popularity. One is that the book is full cf movement and episode, the scenes being- con- stantly shifted and the attention never allowed to flag; while the second point is the intro- duction of an extremely funny female Ameri- can journalist. Miss Nelly Shy by name, whose curiosity is insatiable and who.=e enter- prise is all-conquering. It is her determina- tion at all costs to s,ee the inside of a harem thait produces the most racy and adventurous chapters in a thoroughly readable volume. Probabilities need not be: asked for in such a book. That an Egyptian pasha should in years gone by have married and been divorced from an Englishwoman, who Bubsecraently be- comes Lady Brattle, wife of an eminent Q.O., and that later on the isamie lady should, in company with, the American journalist, get Kurreptitiously into the harem of her former husband and be caught by him. is in itself a little unlikely; but. that iust when the two ladies should be visiting the pasha's palace for observation purposes Sir Richard Brattle and two gay Englishmen, one being a lord, should alpo gain entrance into the same place for reasons of flirtation, demands a very active credulitv indeed. However, as we have paid nrobability must not be too closely considered in the perusal of cuoh a tale. which is full of amorous intrigues of all kinds, and has gome amufiingly-oontrrve d situations, aB. for in. stance, wit en the 0,0. iF, made to give an un- IT) conscious lejral opinion that the pasha has a right to rob him of his own wife. Books Received. I have to acknowledge receipt of the "Young Ladies' Journal" and "Hearth and Home," both, as usual. excellent productions. The chief novelty this week, however, is the "Golden Penny," which is a. new weekly issued from the "Graphic. I have received an early copy of the first number (which will be published on Tuesday next), and a big sale is certain. The chief feature of the paper will be the fiction, consisting of short complete storks and short serial stories, all illustrated by some of the best artists of the day. Considerable promi-' nence is also triven to puzzle and drawing com- petitions. With the first number is presented a quaint double-page coloured supplement, of which 500,000 copies have been printed. It had been intended by the proprietors that the first edition should be limited to 250,000 copies, but the orders camei in in such large numbers that over 400,000 were demanded, and it was decided to print 500,000. I have also to acknow- ledge receipt of the "New Budget," the "West- minster Budget." the "Musical Times," "Book- selling," the "Idler," and a batch of summer holiday railway guides which I must leave till next week. "Fifty Years; or, Dead Leaves and Living Seeds." By the Rev. Harry Jones. M.A., Pre- bendary of St. Paul's, &c. (Smith, Elder, and Co.) NOVEL APPLICATION. At Littledean Police-court on Friday the justices (Messrs. J. Kerr, senior, and R. J. Kerr, junior) were asked to deal with a very novel and remarkable proposal. — A married woman named Wood, living at Cinderford, en- tered the witness-box, and reminded the justices that an order was made, on her daughter's ap- plication, upon a young collier, named David Hopkins, to contribute 3s. per week towards the support of her illegitimate child. Following the order, Hopkins had got married to another wenan, and they two had agreed that they would like to have the child to bring up if the magistrates would rescind the order. The bride (who was also present) expressed her readiness to accept the responsibility of the bab", and was. in fact, anxious to begin housekeeping with her husband's baby. The grandmother, on her part, and on behalf of the mother, who was anxious to go to .service, was not le«s desirous that the compact, should be executed.and urged the court to allow the father to take tho child as he desired.—Mr. Carter, magistrates' clerk, s:id if it were desirable to accede to such an application, in any case, he was afraid this was the last case where it could be recommended. If the order were rescinded there was nothing L to compel the father Ito keep the child, and in a few weeks it might b3 sent back again. At the same time. if all the parties were agreed, the order could remain without being enforced, and if anything happened they would have the order to fall back vjnc>n—The Chairman said the tact was that the justices on the l&ngh were not at the last court, and could not, therefore, annul tiie order, but, of course, they muld make ther own arrangements.—1The parties retired, the new mother -pomillg to he somewhat disap- pointed that the order was not quashed.

WOMEN'S CYCLING DRESS. The Chicago "city fathers" are evidently wincinc under criticism from outside, and are beginning to develop anxiety for what are regarded as the morals of the younger gene- ration On the file for consideration at the next, meeting of the city council is a pro- posed "ordinance," or bye-law, the ooject of which is to prohibit the wearing of "bloomers," or knickerbockers, by women cyclists. The preamble of this proposed new regulation possesses the merit of originality, but is calculated to open up a wide range of controversy. The following are its terms/ "Whereas a great number of young girls and ladies in this city are appearing in the streets and public places dressed m male attire, which is disguised by the friends of this racing craze by the name of bloomers ana knickerbockers, and whereas this craze has assumed such proportions that it menaces the public morals of this good city, and whereas it i3 unhealthy, un-American, and unladylike to appear in such costumes, therefore, be it ordained, &c." The proposed penalty for violation of this regulation is put at not less than three dollars, nor more than eight, litforts were made to laugh the ordinance out- of court, and various motions were submitted. to refer it to such committees as those ap- pointed for dealing with smoke nuisances, health, puMio srrounds. special assessments, &c., but the proposer stuck to his guns, and obtained sufficient support to secure the filing of the. proposal for discussion &t. tlie aexi meeting,

SUICIDE OF A CROYDON MAN. PITIFUL, STORY OF FAMILY DIFFERENCHS. Giving evidence at Friday's inquest on Robert Thomas, 69, a Croydon coachman, who drowned himself in the Wandle, Mrs. Emily Thake, his daughter, said ho had been out of work and suffered from rheumatic gout. To- wards his support witness and her husband contributed four or five shillings a week, and deceased also received half a crown from her younger brother Herbert, and another half- crown from the Foresters. About five weeks ago her father was taken to the infirmary, and his sons thought he ought to stay there, and offered to contribute towards his maintenance. But deceased said it would be slow murder to remain in the workhouse, and took his dis- charge. Since then her eldest brother had taken no notice of him, and witness thought this had worried him. When he was taken out of the water the following letter, writen in pencil and addressed to the witness, was found in his pocket. I My Dear Emily,—A few lines to say I have not heard of Herbert-, and I leave my lodgings to-niglit, and I have nowhere to go, and I am tired of my life, and I must see you all shortly. You and Her- bert have been my best friends, BO my things, any- thing that you have got, you keep or sell, and that will help pay for my washing. If Herbert wants anything, let him have it. There is a few thines at my lodgings, and but one week to pay, 2s. 6d. Give my love to the children, and Charlie and Her- bert. God blees you all. Don't fret for me.—From your broken-hearted father, ROBERT THOMAS, Oroj-don. Good-bye. William Thomas, the eldest brother referred to, who was called at his own request, stated that he kept the Cricketers, Southbridge- place, Croydon. On Tuesday night his father came into the house and asked for a bottle of ginger-lieer. Witness declined to serve him, and told him not to spend his money on such things as tliait, but to buy food. Witness had a reason for doing this. De- ceased had previously stopped in the bar for five or six hours at a time, and had been a nuisance to witness in his business on many occasions. (Hisses from Mr. Thake.) Witness asked very sharply that his brother-in-law shonlrl be ordered to leave the court. The Coroner said lie took it that witness and his father were not on good terms. Witness Yes, we were. I merely tried to keep him in his place for his own good. I had done a good deal for him. Witness had paid half deceased's payments to the Fores- ters for five years. His father left the infir- mary in oppoeition to the wish of witness, who had guaranteed, with his brother, to pay 7s. a week for his maintenance, as he did not think it safe for the old man to be out, because he had twice threatened suicide, So far as lie knew, his father was not in want. They had done all they could for him. Witness complained bitterly of the hostility of his brother-in-law, Thake, who, he said, had seriously injured him in business. The jury intimated that they had heard quite enough of this part of the case. Dr. Oressysaidjfthat on examining the body,he found three or four superficial wounds on the throat, indicating that deceased had tried to cut his throat with a blunt knife. The body was well nourished and well dressed. The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide while temporarily insane."

A BOLD VENTURE IN EXPLORA- TION. The Berlin correspondent of the "Stan- dard" says:—The funds necessary to carry out an exploration of the North Pole by balloon, as proposed by the Swedish engineer and scientific aeronaut, M. Andree, having now been obtained, that gentleman is about to proceed to Paris to super- intend the construction of the balloon. M. Yon, of Paris, has entered into a contract to make the machine of double silk, of which about 5,500 cubic metres will be required, the cost being £ 2,200. The ballon is to be capable of carrying three persons with the necessary instruments and ballast and four months' pro- visions. It will be sufficiently gas-tight to hover in the air for 30 days at a height of 250 metres. It will admit of being filled with gas at any point in the Polar regions, and will, to a certain extent, be steerable. M. Andree calculates that 1,700 to 1,800 cylinders filled with gas under a pressure of 100 or 200 atmos- pheres will be required for the expedition, in order to refill the balloon fiom time to time. He believes he will be able to guide the machine by a system of sails and ropes acting as a brake in case of need by dragging on the earth. The car is to be spacious enough to contain a sledge, a sailing bot, several weapons, with ammunition and photographic camera. Early next spring it is proposed to erect a balloon house, and, after filling the balloon, to start on the aerial voyage for the Pole in July, with a fresh south, or nearly south, wind. The eluration of the journey must, of course, largely depend on the strength of the wind. It might possibly last only five or six hours, but M. Andree expects that it will take at least over 40. Thirty days, he believes, will suffice for cruising about the Central Polar Basin in all directions, and taking a complete survey of it. The return journey is to be made towards the inhibited parts of North America or Northern Siberia. With a wind of average velocity, Zvl. Andree. says, the balloon can maka 19,400 kilometres in 30 days, whereas the distance from Snitz- bergen to the Bthring Starits, via the Pole is only 3,700.

AN ARMED MADSTAff ON HIS WAY TO BALMORAL TO PETITION THE QUEEN. At Aberdeen on Friday a young man was charged (before the sheriff) with discharging a' revolver in a public road at Ballater, in th3* neighbourhood of Balmoral. He was a.. stranger to the locality, and the charge was adjourned to allow an examination to be made into his menfal condition. The inquiries which were instituted showed that the man is a. farmer's son, named Thomas Dron, belonging to Crieff, and there is no doubt that he was on his way to Balmoral when arrested to endea- vour to obtain an interview with the Queen. Ayoung slater of Ballater,named Benjamin Mit- chell, was proceeding along the road when he noticed the prisoner acting in a strange manner. When the latter fired his revolver Mitchell w ■« up to him and spoke to him, but Dron becama threatening, and pointed the revolver at Miv1 chell. The latter at once grappled with tha fellow, and, with the assistance of a gentle- man who happened to be passing at the tune, disarmed him, and marched him to Ballater Police-station. The prisoner had upon him' a paper headed "To the Queen," and a letter addressed to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, in which the writer mentioned that he was about to become king. In another letter, addres?C(j to Mr. Vanderbilt, the prisoner expressed a desire to marry the American millionaire's daughter. Police-sergeant Es&on, who examined the revolver, found that the six chambers were fully charged, and on searching the prisoner's travelling bag it was found to contain 50 addi- tional cartridges. The man has since been examined by doctors, and certified to be in- sane. When the affair became known in the district considerable excitement was caused. ——

CHARGE AGAINST A GENERAL'S DAUGHTER. At Worthing Police-court on Friday Mrs. Mary Bosina Paul, wife of a captain and daughter of a general, was brought up in custody charged with beincr drunk and dis- orderly in a public thoroughfare. A police- oonsta,ble found her lying in the road just before midnight, and later saw her rapping. at the doors of various house?, the occupants of which declined to admit her. She was very drunk, and used bad language. At the police-station she became very violent, and refused to be searched, and had to be held down by two police-constables. Mrs. Paut, who continually interrupted the proceeding", denied the charge, declared that she was subject- to cataleptic fits, and said she wished she was dead. She had been convicted oil former occasions, and was now fined the maximum penalty of 40s. and costs, or 2L days hard labour. Time for payment w? refused, and the defendant was removed custody.
