THE BHOWN1NGS' GOLDEN WEDDING.
THE BHOWN1NGS' GOLDEN WEDDING. Browning's golden wedding is to be cele- brated m an original manner on December 12 next. The marriage took place on September 12, 1846, in the parish church of St. Marylo- hone. It was at first intended that the jubilee should be kept on the exact anniversary, but the ahseTlce from toW11 of the chief persons in- tarested led to the postponement; and the- 12th prox. was fixed upon on which day in 1889 Robert Browning died. There will thus be celebrated at onoe the golden wedding of the poets and the seventh anniversary of their reunion in the Unseen. The commemoration servioE will be held, in the morning, in the church where they were married.

"DINAH MORRIS."
"DINAH MORRIS." Mr. Cooper has an article in the "Metho- dist Recorder" which gives details of the career of "Dinah Morns, and says that much that ha.s been written about "Dinah Morris' is incorrect. He has recently con- versed with several people who knew her well, and who heard her preach. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Tomlinson. She was in domestic service at Derby, and after- wards at Nottingham, where "worldly com- pany, cards, dancing, the theatre, and other similar forms of amusement left her un- happy." In this state of mind she went to a Methodist service, began a. new life. com- menced to visit the sick. and, on returning to Derby. was .constrained by Methodist friends to relate her religious and philan- thropic experiences to the society in St. Michacl's-lane. Thus was she brought into { more public work. 0
"GETS HIMSELF ANOTHER CREST."
"GETS HIMSELF ANOTHER CREST." "In the spring," says Tennyson, this pro- ces? is undergone by the aristocracy of beak and feather. Eminent politicians seem rather to patronise the winter. If a weekly paper may be credited. Chamberlain and his son Austen a few years ago went in for a coat of arms, which was inscribed in "Debrett, upon the Highbury notepaper. It seems, however, that Mr. Chamberlain has with- drawn both, and now appears without heraldic beasts as quarterings to his greatness. His notepaper, too, belongs to the "penny plain" rather than the "tuppence coloured" order cf stationery. Someone once played a. joke upon :\11'. Bright by sending for him a coat of arms to one of the pedigree books, and there was a draeon rampant vomiting flame. Mr. Faudel Phillips, the present Lord Mayor, is said to have changed h is crest f rom a. equirrei to a different kind of creature. Ii
MADE OUT OF GERMANY.
MADE OUT OF GERMANY. A curious proof of the conservatism of 1 childhood in its earliest days is afforded (says a "Telegraph" man) by the fact that, in spite of foreign competition. Eugiish toymakers still command e large sale for wooden horses with barrel bodies and straight legs, gaudy wheelbarrow s, and strong carts. The makers of these goods are to be found in North-East1 London. They are independent folk. and are with difficulty persuaded to take up "new lines." Still, it. is not tr be supposed that we in England are wanting in novel ideas, On the contrary, the pneumatic boxes which draw large crowds in front of City ehop windo^ are of Birmingham make. and so. too, is the "penalty kick"—a game at foot- ball, with moving figures at the goal-post^. The comical metal walking elephant also hails from the Midlands, and in sports and games generally we hold our own. A German house complains that British makers have undersold them in the manufacture of the "mechanical artist, a tin figure, seated before an easel, which, by merely turning a handle, is made to sketch the Queen or Mr. Glad- stone on paper with a pencil.

Coroner Wyatt ha;, a very pretty wit. At an inquest at Camberwtll he puzzled over the meaning of "generail dealer," saying that rag :nd bone merchants called themselves general dealers. So also did costermongers. "Call him a. costermonger if you like," said a witness; "he aid not care what he sold so long as he got an 11 ,mest living." The coroner's dry retort was "Some of them aro not quite so particular as that."

The collections fill 400 chest3. and 2,000 phonographs have been obtained. Eight new lakes have been discovered north of Lago Nahuel Huapi, and fifteen south of it. The hitherto mysterious Rio Teteleufa is new known from its source. It is 25ft. deep in many places. The regior is ono of great beauty and fertility. All it wants foi development is railway communication to the east coast. Mr. J. H. Harper, >f the great publishing Arm, has been talking about tho literary methods of Du Maurier. Du Maurier told Zvlr. Harper he was not a new ''i1"iter. I have written all my life," he Baid. "Those little series that ran in "Punch" took more study of the art of writing than a book would." He referred to the bits of dialogue which appeared under the pictures. "Those bits of conveI's3.tion," he said, "often took me longer to write than it took to draw the pic- ture which they illustrated." Sir Joseph Renals tells that while on a visit to his estate in the country, a publican was brought up in the local police-court, charged with permitting card-playing for money on licensed premises. The police witness swore that, looking through the window of one of the rooms of the 'tavern, he saw a company around a table playing "Nap." Said the magistrate, "How do you know tbac they were playing 'Nap?' The policeman replied that ithey were playing with five cards eaoh, and the man whose back was tc the window called "four." The magistrate, who was a lover of cards himself, became interested, and asked excitedly, "What card3 had he?" "An ace and queen and two smaller trumps, and another ace." "The case is dismissed. Fine the man five shillings for not going 'nap!' On his birthday the Prince of Wales always rcceivos an enormous number of presents, not only from his relations and but even from anonymous donors.

Our Royal Family is so large that members are in a perpetual state of "give" to one another, and the amount which the Prince of Wales spends yearly in presents equals the income of a well-to-do citizen. The Princees of Wales always chooses her souvenirs her- self, and will trust nobody else's fancy, biit the Queen generally reliea upon the aiiistio taete of Princess Beatrice. A well-known West End jeweller observed the other day, "What a blessed thing we've got so many Royalties From trade point of view there couldn't be enough." He spoke with fervour.

?---- - -----? RUSSIAN WHEAT…
?- -? RUSSIAN WHEAT FOR INDIA. ST. PETERSBURG SUBSCRIPTION LISTS The question of sending corn and meil to the famishing natives of India continues to occupy certain oigans of the Russian press. The "Novoo Vremya" acknowledges the receipt of subscriptions amounting to 2,137 roubles. All the leading papers have also opened subscription lists, as well as several religious and official bodies. In addition to pecuniary assistance, there is a strong desire to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Russia's surplus grain. This would relieve Russian agriculturists in the present crisis, as well as the starving population of India. A writer in the "Peterburgskiya. Viedomosti" (says a "Times" telegram) urges the Government to move in the matter. He says:—"We have two things to accomplish, namely, to prereni) an excessive and artificial increase of prices by our competitors on account of the famine in India., and at the same time to open up a vast new market for our own wheat at reasonable prices. It is one of thcse rare occasions when two diffe- rent aims can be pursued together. We can fulfil the duties of benevolence and charity and further the most important, of our economic interests. We ought to show England, which regards the spread of our in- fluence in Asia with such an unfriendly eye, that our power may be of use to her, and that the Russian never takes advantage of other people's misfortunes from selfish motives." The writer then proposes that the Govern- ment of Russia should negotiate with that of England as to the prices and the quantity of wheat required, and that the Russian Minis- ter of Agriculture should buy and transport it to the ports of the Black Sea, whence it could be carried to India in English vessels at a very low rate. The official "Journal of Commerce" announces that agents are on their way from Bombay to Russia to make con- tracts for the delivery of wheat in India. Reuter's St. Petersburg correspondent tele- graphs —The semi-official organ of the Rm man Ministry of Finance has opened a fund in aid of the sufferers from famine in fund in aid of the sufferers from famine in India. The journal publishes an article making a. warm appeal for subscriptions.

"LAY" OR "LIE."
"LAY" OR "LIE." "A North Country newspaper," writes a correspondent, "directs attention to the cir- cumstance that the Prime Minister, in his speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet, fell into the universal error of wrongly using the word 'lav.' After citing Lord Salisbury's exact words-'l thank the Lord Mayor espe- cially for the words of sympathy he has uttered towards heavy duties which in times like this lay upon the shoulders of advisers of the Crown'—it is justly remarked that in England 'we invariably find that, from the 'Times' downwards, the word is misapplied.' While it is unquestionably the case that, almost every writer and speaker in Southern England follows Lord Byron—'there let him lay'—in the misuse of the word, it is inte- recting to re-call that, in the controversy which followed Browning's criticism of Byron's grammar, Mr. Gladstone wrote to the late John Murray, pointing out that the word 'lay' was used in a similar manner in the 'Sentimental Journey,' and quoted it 'as a. twin error, not as an excuse.' Cobbett. by the way, was the first to challenge the grammar in 'Child'i Harold'—'hens lay,' asserted the doughty reformer."

Mr. Herbert Spencer, in answer to a letter informing him that some Birmingham school- masters had lorined a club, and had taken his name for the title, has written: -"Our system is one under which those who know little about the matter dictate to those who know much. Assuming, however, that there remains a, oertain amount of freedom per- mrtting changes to be made, allow me to sug- gest that special attention should be paid to the development oi thinking as distinguished from the acquisition of knowledge."
