Laurence Oliphaut waa born at the Capo of Oood Hope, where his father rai the Dritiah Attorney General.

He apent a part Of his boyhood at the home of hi ancestor In Scotland. He then returned to his parenta to find hla father had been transferred to Ceylon as Chief Justice. In Ceylon he was admitted to the bar, and before he was twenty-three years old bad been engaged lu aa many murder eaaea had years on his shoulders. He went from Ceylon to Nepaul in India to shoot elephant with Mir Jung Uahadour, and wrote a book which brought him very little profit though some praise." Thence be returned to Luglaud to practice law, only to be oil very soon for a trip through Kussia ana tne Crimea, resulting, just as war broke out in the Crimea. In a book that caused him to bo summoned before Lord Raglan to Ktve information.

Having aeon several months of life in Washington during the momentous Nebraska bill time, and become convinced that tb Union waa going to smash, be went with Lord Elgin to Canada, where tha irtvaniAft tifm be made Indian Commissioner, and in that capacity ho traveled extensively through the Northwest. Ketorulng homo, he real- tted bis ambition of going to the Crimea, ut could not prevail upon the llrltUh Ambassador to Tnrkey to send him ou a special uiUsion to the renowned Caucasian leader, bchatnyL and therefor tilled in his time aa a newspaper correspondent, with "lota of tin" the reward, from the Crimea he turned hi stops to America once more. lor wuat purpose aoes not appear, but he soon embraced an opportunity to nm luaniun as pin 01 me notorious Talker filibustering exneditlou. onlv to nave me vessel aooaru wiiicn ne sailed i approached by a liritlsh man-of-war, which railed upon him to come on board, where the surprise awaited him of finding the oracer iu eommana waa a cousin 01 us.

Of that event he had had on shipboard premonition, had made a not of it with tb time, and on arrival at Ceylon received Hews that confirmed hla premonition. His devoted mother had been greatly distressed over hla narrow escape ia Japan. and, diplomacy, as he saw more of it, did sot charm him. Hence he gav up an occu patron that might have led to a career, returned to England, published a novel, delivered lectures, had much social success, and wm elected to Parliament. To Laareiye Oliphant there seemed to be opening at this period of hia life, when be wm thirty-six years old, a future of touch distinction.

But just as euocest awaited him he surrendered all for tb Mk of that astonishing delusion which wm to color aod shape the entire future of hia wa life, hia mother's, and bis wife's. All that men most vain in life, all that they pursue with the moat teal, waa to be rutrendered Joyfully by a man who waa. a hla biographer a words, "newly elected to I'arliaiuent. one of the first authorities upon foreign publics, thefavotlteof society, the friend of all that wm beat and highest ia England, a courted guest, a briUUut writer aud still more delightful conversationalist, capable almost of any advance-lucnt." This delusion waa faith In the religions dogma that found practical exemplification in the cotumuulty which an euthuaiMt itemed Harris established -at lirocton, on the shore of Lake Erie. From hia childhood np Laurence Oliphant had been given to clone self-examination, to the con-acientiousnese of which the evangelical earnestness of his fond parents bad don bt-les con tii buted a large share.

With religion. he saw It practiced, he became more and more diseatiehed and more and more convinced of the essential aelttshneas at the root of all human conduct. In this state of aniad he met Harria, beard him preach, and accepted the opportunity Harria held out to surrender all and live the un-eeltlsh life, or Harris and bia community the Parliamentary career was abaudoued, as well as society and all that the world held for him. iuclnding bia property, and Io America Oliphant came to viive the ife," his mother, who shared hit tenden cles, following not long afterward. llereU an aceount of the kind of life to which thla man of tb world, for whom the world had many of It treasure yet in store, now subjected huueolf ou the horea of Lake trie: "Caning straight front War fair, be wm ssnt sleep la Urge lott conululug only empty taase betes aud a mattress, m4 a reiaam-aered arranging these article so ss to term Bams seuibiaos ef a roem.

but more MtoUnding things were yet In store ere the OliuhaaU should be disenchanted of the spell by which Harria boand them. In Pari Laurence met an accomplished and beautiful creature, with religion pcrplexitioa like hla own. who yielded to what ne told her of the new life offered by the man on the shores of Lake Erie, hue wm Alice Le Strange, and the pair soon contemplated matrimony. Oliphant wrote to a friend, announcing the engagement, and added i I don't know when the marriage may take place; the same hand that arranged tb first part will arrange theaecond." Thla hand wm the hand of Harria. Harria, however, objected to the match.

There was long delay; a remarkable correspondence between the lovers en-aned( there was opposition on the tart of the lady's family, aiuce they predicted what actually did occur that her fortune would into the bands of Harris. Patiently the overs bided their time, and at last Harris wm pleased to yield hi permission. The lover were married, and with Lady Oliphant. whom Harris had in the meantime released, they came to America and took up their life at lirooton. The relentless tyrant speedily i separated the man aud wife to toe wife he aa-aigned menial aervloe, the husband he sent away on commercial affairs, being now in Canada, now In New-York, whore he appears to have had business connections with Jay Gould from which he escaped without destruction.

Lady Oliphant and ber daughter-in-law lived together for a time alone at Iiroctou. How the latter endured the ordeal we do not learn, but the author thinks it must have been embarrassing on all hands" when Laurence Oliphant brought so fair a (lower of perfect clvili-ratlon and ladyhood among this bustling rustic For eight months the two ladle lived quite alone. They cooked, Mashed and Ironed, and reared upward of a hundred they worked In the garden and helped to meudj the clothe of the gentlemen of th society." Harria wm not content to leave them alone together long; he may have feared for the consequencea on himself from each bright mind actiug on the other, and so concluded to send the wife of Laureuce to the Pacific slo)e for what alleged reason," says the author, I am unable to telL" lint ahe bad been ao commanded, "and. with the unhesitating obedience to which she had pledged heraolt, arose and went" Lady Oliphant thence forth was left alone to wash the pocket handkerchiefs and mend old clothe, her son being In New-York engaged In business, and writing book reviews for a newspaper with a circulation of over 2O0.OO0,'' at a column. Not toug after thla act of tyranny Mr.

Oliphant went to California for the purpose of bringing hi wife buck to tho East, bat in thi attempt to obtain hi wife he waa not successful. He wm not even permitted to see her. 11 was ordered back to roc ton. The next act of religious brutality wm to intimate thai the husband and wife were not "true counterpart."

Her son naatenea to Her aluo and for her health mad a iourney to California. Harria, then in California, received tbcin far from graciously. On the baud of a maniber of Harris's household they saw a valuable ring Lady Oliphaut had surrendered to Harris with all her other property at the time ah joined the eommuuity. It naturally weakened the faith of both. In Harris' house they remained only a few days, and were then "dismissed with the scantiest pretense of hospitality." in a few days more the feeble mother breathed her last, and there oa the Pacltlc coast ahe wm laid away.

(Step were now' taken to gain back, the lands at Hrocton originally bought by Oliphant, but which Harris administered and virtually possessed. It was a long process, bnt it finally succeeded. During these proceedings Harria took steps to put Oliphant in a madhouse, and actually telegraphed his wife demanding her aid in the matter. It was this act which disenchanted 'the wife. Harris' friends My that Oliphant had proposed the deposition of Harria, he to succeed as regent." Mrs.

Oliphant doea not touch on this In the far ut the remainder of the days of the Oliphaut were mainly passed, ana from out that land eame more than one book. There Alice Oliphant died and there ahe lie buried within sight of Mount Car-roel. the sea. and the Oalilean bills. When Laurence Oliphant died, not many years later, and a few weeks after he bad married Kosamoud Dale Owen, be found a rave near Loudon, "at Twickenham, on he edge of that greater world which ao soon forget ud juakee ao few pilgrimage" Strange was the fate that thus divided In death these three devoted and noble souls, who in lifa had been united in the closest bonds of religious and domeatlo aympathy.

Ever since Uncle Remns and Uncle He-mua'a little white boy were created, followers iu the same line of story-telling have becu common. There are many are clover in catching tbe dialect, the form of phrasing of the negro, but these imitative qualities do not alone sufllce. There was Thackeray'a Irishman. Phonetically, hia spelling was marvelous, but the Thack-erayan Celt was not alone perfect iu apeecb but ib action, and it la exactly Mr. Joel Chandler Harris's general art which makes him ao excellent It is not the negro alone, how he talk and acts, but It is bis entire surroundings which this writer holds within bis grasp.

Mr. Chandler Harris does not tell of tho uegro lu Mississippi or Alabama, but rather of tho colored man In Georgia, and the minute, shadings which he gives are understood by those who have lived In Ueorgln. Take, for instance, "Ananias." the shambling and apparently "good-for-nothing nig. gor'-ttba dog with a bad name who slolo sweet potatoes so that his old broken-down master aud hi young "MUs" might not starve. Take Lawyer Terrell, who defends the alouchy Aiiaula ierrell brings buck the memories of thoseriuarkable iiion the Mllledgese, tho Cumuilngso of other times, who, through thick and thin, stood out for human justice.

1891. Of the two volumes now reprinted under the same covers Natural Selection" appeared in 170 and wa reprinted In 1H73. while "Tropical Nature" was published In 1878. Some chapter have been dropped, and one essay partly omitted, partly Incorporated elsewhere. "The Antiquity of Man In North America" and "The Debt of Science to Darwin" have beeu added.

No student of evolution can fall to have enjoyed tbe essays and volume by the naturalist who hare with Darwin the houor of having seen before other scientists the importance of natural selection as a means for the change of animal exterior "Tropical Nature" la full of observations and quotations that corroborate the general theory of evolution. In "The Antiqnity of Mau in North America" Wallace nrH the inconsistency of those who will not accept for human being the same kind of proof of antiquity they do acrept for animal. 1 hey show a proper liberality concerning the imperfection of tbe record of the rocks ben ft relates to gigantic lirnrds and the ncestor of the horoo; but lieu It refer to mankind they will not bo convinced unless the Missing Link rise from the dead. Error Is sure to be soon detected, and tta very detection is often a valuable lesson. But facts once rejected are npt to remain long buried in obscurity and their non-recognition may often act as a check to further progress." Concerning Darwin, be says: "If we glance back over the whole domain of science we shall find none to stand beside him as equals; for in him we find a patient observation and collection of facts, as in Tycho llraher the power of using those facts lu the determination of laws, as In Kepler, combined with tho Inspirational genius of a Newton throngh which he was able to grasp fundamental principles and so apply them as to bring Order out of chaos and Illuminate the world of life as Newton illuminated the inatorial universe."

We ar often con-scion In dream that we have waked np and slept again only to continue tho thread of our adventures In the world of an 1 0111; we are also often aware, in tho midst of a dream, that It Is a dream wo are having and not reality. These peculiarity of our brain when the will I unhinged and off duty have given the Irijieulous Mr. Anstey a chance to write an odd book.

He Is 011 board a steamer coming from Australia and hopes to meet his fiancee at Gibraltar, when he meets an Australian who Induces blm to accept, as a great favor from the giver, a cheque-book full of time cheque The peculiar function of the time cheque is this: Filled out for a sum of minute say fifteen or forty-five, and dnly signed, the signer shoves the cheque under any convenient clock. Thereupon he ia transported back to some past period which he has not used but has put in bank." Now Tourmalin is very susceptible, aud there are two young ladies on board whom he has observed but not approached, because be has promised his betrothed to speak to no woman. He therefore banks all tbe timo between Australia and Gibraltar, and only by chance, after being married, thinks of cashing a cheque. Then. Indeed, he ia transported back to that Identical steamer and finds himself Involved in a flirtation with each of tbe young ladies.

Tbe singular dilemmas he gets into by drswlug.Mlf they weredoses, fifteen-minute cheque on that hiddeu part of hi past are depfoted. with Mr. Anstey' usual bright-lien The situation is a strained one for the reader as well Tourmalin, bnt once accepted It has the merit observable lu dream of offering no particular hold for utter disbelief.

Thi little volume of some 300 pages claims recognition from the fact that it is the work of a woman, perhaps the first of ber sex to write a treatise on electricity and its modern application It is intended for popular perusal and ia therefore free from the mathematical formula and the technical details which are so abandant In the, more thorough worka that are Intended for tbe atudent and the practical electrician. The arrangement of the work is logical and effective. It begins with a consideration of static electricity as exhibited tn nature and as produced by apparatus, and give illustration of the eUecta of atmospheric rhenomena and of thoM obtained artificially In imnlatlon of the obvious natural exhibition The properties of magnetism next claim attention, and following these com studies of galvanic or current electricity. Praetieal application, including the telegraph, telephone, electric lighting, and motor, are then discussed and explained, and finally com speculations as to the nature of eleotrioity. The writer bu a succinct and forcible war of present I tig ber subject and manages to Impart definite and eloar Ideas without imposing toe great a tax on the attention of the reader.

The text is also unusually free from errors, A noteworthy instance of the contrary is. howevar. given en pages 254 and 23S lu the division ef telegraph instruments, where the recording one are mentioned as th noa-reeording aud Tic versa.

On hi retirement from tbe Presidency he was elected an honorary member of the Manhattan Club, er, more exactly, a life member of tbe elub, the eonstltuliea being specially amended on his oooount so as to provide that tbe President or an ei-Prealdeut ot the Caltod etates may be made a life member by tbe unul-mous vote of tbe Board of Managers without Jisyment." Mr.

Cleveland, however, declined tbe ooor. eaylug that tbere whs no reason why be lioulJ not liar tbe nnual lultlatloa fee and does like any other good Democrat. He was therefore elected a resident member. Apropos of the debts wbleh clubs accumulate, it Is noticeable that all clubs of ooneeoence eet limit to the Indebtedness which their members may contract. Tradesmen proetioally de the same, causing the limits ot their several patrons In accordance with their reaveetlve poofcet-booki snd reputations for paying, bat lu tbet cane the limit is ouly Informal, in uluba, wbere all men ore supposed to meet on sn equal footing, it would never do to set a thousand-dollar limit for a Vunderbllt and a tan-dollar limit lor a Bmith, and so a fixed limit is laid down for all member At the Union Club a member cau get credit for drinks, food, and what not to the amount of HOO.

If be does not par then bis credit ends and be must pay tan for everything until be is ready to lei tie his bia If be does not par bis bill within a reasonable time he Is very likely to be asked to resign, but he would never sued, as the Union Club would as soon think of inviting the membership of "Tint" Campbell's Oriental Club to spend an evening at Its bouss as of going Into court Msnbsttan Club men are not quit te liberal tbs Union, snd their limit of credit I 76. At the University Club man I posted It be fall to pay np Indebtedness ntnonntlnc to Slo or ever by tbe loth day of tbe month followlas that in which ran np tbe bill. v. ben a member's bill amount to loo be Is immediately notified, and after a week's notice be Is posted snd blseredlt Is stopped At the Manhattan Athletle Club the limit Is and at tbe other leading oluba It ranges from that sum to 975 er luu.

At the Union and one or two ether leading elubs private dinner parties costing anywhere from bOO to bvs times thst sum are not Infrequently given snd bote dollar Is paid by tbe host until after tbe dinner. Of coarse, big bills like these must receive prompt attention, and at tbs Lawrsrs' Club tbe rules require thst a man wbe gives a privet dlaner party ef eonscqueuo must pay for It tbs Beit day.
