THE CEITICJ'S REVIEW
Eesurrection of the Love Letters of a
Fortnjmese Nun.
A TALE OF TWO CEKTUEIES AGO
Henrj C. Lea's Yolume Dealing With the
Spanish Inquisition.
LITERATURE OP GENERAL INTEREST.
France and Spain were playing at war
200 years ago in Portugal. And when the
Came was OTer, and the French regiments
came marching home, one of the gallant
officers who rode before was the young
Marquis ot Charnilly. The Marquis of
Charnilly was described by his cotempor
aries as "the best man in the world, the
bravest, the most honorable." Perhaps he
was. It was a bad world, that over which
Louis XIV was ruler, and the Marquis
iiiay hare been the best man in it, and a
rascal all the same. Anyway, he was a
rascal.
How many heads the young officer broke
in that grim game of war, we know not.
He broke a woman's heart. He may have
killed a good many men, he did kill one
woman. Back he rode after bis sum
mer of soldiering, and brought a bun
dle of letters with bim as a trophy.
And be and bis gallant compauions
read them together and laughed over them,
and thought it all great fun. And by ana
by, the letters got even into print And here
they are to-day, where he can read who will:
"The Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun"
(Cassell Publishing Co.; J. R.SVeldin &
Co.).
She only said my heart is dreary.
He cometb not, she said;
She said, I am an earv, aweary, .
I wish that 1 were dead!
That is what the Marianna sighed who
looked out of the windows of the moated
grange. The Portuguese Uun's name was
Marianna, too. At Beja she lived, "be
tween Estramadura and Andalusia." Here
one day, from the convent balcony, in those
laz times, she saw the handsome young offi
cer. And Marianna was not profoundly
religions. She had no "vocation," as they
say, nun as she was, and she was very hu
man. And then, after a summer ot stolen
interviews and sweet words, away went
Charnilly to marry an heiress, like the pru
dent man be was, and Marianna saw his
face no more.
It was then that she wrote these five
strange letters, all fire and tears Heloise
and Abelard over again, with a difference.
Pull of tenderness and indignation, and re
gret, and hate, and love a heart speaking
straight out every thought of it.
ir.
2Cow, if the Inquisition could but have
spent its fine energies upon such hereticsas
the Marquis of Charnilly, it might have
been some help in the world, instead of the
long hindrance that it was. Surely, the
luost damnable of heresies is the "heresy of
Cain," who asked, "Am I my brother's
keeper?" and answered ".No," under his
breath.
But the good fathers of the Inquisition
did cot think so. The worst offense which a
man could commit, they thought, was not to
be loose in his behavior, out to be lax in his
belief. Better break SO commandments than
to tamper with a single syllable ol the creed!
2Co man was burned to death, in all the
bonfires of that black time, for breaking a
woman's heart.
And so the story of the Inquisition is the
record, grievous to read, ot a tearful misap
plication of righteous energy. For several
hundreds of years, especially in Spain, the
whole energy of the Christian church was
exerted to keep men from thinking.
But men went on thinking, nevertheless.
You can't keep men from thinking. Good
Mrs. Partington, whose house was on the
seashore, plied her mop very diligently one
stormy morning to keep out the whole At
lantic Ocean. But the Atlantic Ocean
came in.
It is with an accountof the censorship of
the press that Mr. Henry C. Lea begins his
chapters from the "Religious History of
Spain." (Lea Brothers & Co.: J. R. AVel
din & Co.) Mr. Lea, it may be remarked
in passing, is pretty well known just now,
quite outside of literary circles, by reason
of a letter which he wrote to be read by Mr.
Matthew Stanley Quay. He knows more
than any man on this continent about the
Iuquisition, but he knows a good deal about
politics, too.
The Critic's Beview of the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries was a serious affair, in
deed. As the critic determined, so it was.
If he disapproved, that was the end ot the
book. Sometimes it was the end of tne au
thor. Alas for the misguided commentator
who "preferred the rules of grammar to the
definitions of orthodoxy!" Alas for the
journalist, alas for the "pestilent news
monger," who ventured the most
remote allusion to matters about
which all men were thinking.
Every page, every paragraph, every
punctuation mark must be submitted to the
Boyal Council; and, being approved and
printed, must then be taken with the "copy"
to the corrector general that he might satisfy
himself that there had been no change
betwixt the pencil and the type; finally,
that official giving his sanction, permission
must be secured from some other department
of the State, to go ahead and publish the
paper. Of course, no newspaper could
breathe in that close atmosphere. It was as
bad as Russia.
The result of the Spanish Inquisition was
the "iutellectual morasnus" of Spain.
Spain, after that sort of discipline, has
never amounted to anything.
"The Mystics and Illumati" is the title of
another chapter. Thecondition of demoniacs,
and their accusations against Jews in the
Middle Ages, are considered in caretully
written papers.
Mr. Lea knows everything about his sub
ject, which anyone can know at this remove
roin that blind generation. He lias left no
book unopened which uiiclit teach him auv
truth about it. He is perfectly fair, serene 1
ot temper, contenting himself with stating
simply the absolute facts, and stating them
in a style which is clearness itself, forcible
and full of interest. This is a book of
which American scholarship may be proud.
It is ot permanent importance.
III.
One of the points which the corrector gen
eral was directed to look alter in a. book was
its legibility. That would commend itself
to Mr. Buskin, who insists that next to the
importance of the work of the writer is the
work of the printer. It would be unspeak
ably dreadlul to have the Inquisition revived
in English-speaking countries with Mr.Bus
kin for corrector general. It is bad enough to
have one's ears boxed in every other para
graph, and to be called all manner of bad
names. Such castigation, such injury and
insult, all disciples of Mr. Buskin endure
with patience, knowing what is coming. He
is as bad as Dr. Busby. But to give him
matches and faggots why the smoke of
burning libraries and of singeing writers
would out-smoke the forest fires of Oregon
and Washington! However, he is right in
this matter. Books ought to be both men
ially and physically readable. The little
set of books by Mr. Buskin, which is pub
lished by John AVilev & Sons, and sold
(51 a volume), by J. It." Weldin & Co., sat
isfies this condition. "Sesane and Lilies,"
"Queen of the Air," "Crown of Wild
Olive" and "Ethics of the Dust" are the
lour volumes of this very attractive little
company of red-dressed books.
Amid this same good fellowship of old
friends in new gowns, The Critic welcomes
"Bacon's Essays." (A. C. McClurg & Co.,
J. B. Weldin & Co.; 51.) Dr. Ander
son's preface adds value to the little book,
nho.se tastelnl covers and clear type are a
pleasure to behold.
Even more in "the way of praise may be
said of "The Adventures of Ulysses."
(Gebbie & Co., J. K. Weldin & Co.) This
is Charles Lamb's delightful rendering of
"one of the best stories in the world and the
oldest." And Andrew Lang has written a
capital preface, which the boys and girls
(who commonly skip prefaces) will read
with intermingled pleasure and advantage.
And Frederick Preller has filled the book
with pictures. A tailor and a dressmaker
might improve some of this pictorial accom
paniment. Nevertheless, here is a first-rate
book.
IV.
Charles Lamb had the audacity to affirm
that it the sun were to arise some morning
in the north, south or west it would be
some time before he discovered what all the
neighbors were wondering about. And
this, not because that ingenious essayist was
not accustomed to see the sun at its arising,
but because he paid such small attention to
the performances of nature! Dr. Charles C.
Abbott, in the preface to his "Outings at
Odd Times," says that somebody inquired
the other day it potatoes grow on bushes,
and he tells a fabulous story of a young
lady, even from Boston, who startled her
country cousin by asking, while toying
with an ear of corn, "Which end, when you
plant, do you put in the ground, the blunt
or the pointed one?" Dr. Abbott thinks
that we ought to inow more about nature
than we do, and suggests that some winter
evenings may be spent to profit by reading
books descriptive of her common,wonders.
He has here written such a book, with four
parts, one for each of the seasons, every pane
in it suggestive, interesting, sympathetic.
Birds and mud holes, apple blossoms and
wood piles, prove texts for many pleasant
papers. (D. Appleton & Co. J. B. Weldin
& Co.
Mr. Hamilton W. Mabie, in "My Study
Fire," (Dodd, Mead & Co. J. B.
Weldin & Co.) makes another jour
ney through the year. This is the in
doors point of view. That old primeval ele
ment, fire, has its manifold uses. It is good
to burn heretics with, and it is good to look
at, from an easy chair, in the twilight, with
good company." The "Beveries of a Bach
elor" and "Back-Log Studies" will occur to
everybody as instances of this gentler use of
flames and cinders. Mr. Mabie's medita
tions tollow alone these pleasant paths.
Old books, old friends, old towns, the bright
and the sad sides of human experience, love
and philosophy are here talked of in the
firelight, to the edification and the satisfac
tion even of The Critic
WOTJLDK'T PAY FOB TOWELS.
The
recullar Dispute Which Got
Two
Persons Into Trouble.
W. H. Thackeray was arrested yesterday
by Officer Tom Sterck, charged with mis
demeanor by Miss Lee Campbell. The
latter is a sub-tenant of Thackeray's at 164
Fourth avenue, where she has lived for
nearly a year. He is the proprietor of a
clean towel supply concern, but has rented
the house in question and sub-lets rooms to
about a dozen women. Miss Campbell oc
cupied a room on the third floor, and claims
that in addition to paying Thackeray an
exorbitant rent she, as well as the other
tenants, was compelled to be a subscriber to
his clean towel supply. The towels were
not supplied to her properly, and she re
fused to pay any more, whereupon she was
notified to leave the house. She declined to
do so, and Thackeray locked her out of her
room, refusing to allow her to remove her
goods and also ordering out another woman
in the house who allowed Miss Campbell to
sleep in her room over night
Inspector McAleese was appealed to. but
declined to take part in the affair. Miss
Campbell tben entered suit against Thack
eray for renting a honse for improper pur
poses, constituting a misdemeanor. He was
placed in Central station, and will have a
hearing before Magistrate McKenna to
day. A FOBTTTrTATE DISCOVERY.
A Fatal Defect Discovered In a Naval Ves
sel Just Before Sailing.
San Francisco, November 28. The
United States steamer Alert, which is under
orders to relieve the Swatara on the China
station, and has been at Mare Island several
months, undergoing repairs, was to have
sailed on December 3, and everything was
in readiness. On Monday last she was
taken to the dry dock to have her bottom
scraped and painted. The workmen had
hardly commenced operations when they
heard a rumbling noise over their beads.
An investigation showed that about 20
square feet of the iron boiler supports,
which form an interior or second bottom,
had fallen in amidships. The heavy iron
beams were found to have corroded away,
and the heavy boilers were resting on the
ship's bottom. The Alert, although an old
ship, was regarded as a staunch vessel. A
large force was at once put at work making
repairs, and are working night and day to
get the ship in readiness to sail on Decem
ber 10.

answered to the roll. Captain Samuel
Pollock did not appear, and the Judge soon
got tired waiting for him. The Sheriff was
ordered to issue an attachment and imme
diately look up the offending juror. That
official did his duty to the best of his
ability, and soon after returned with the
report:
"The juror is dead."

One Steel Company Asks Another to Control
Its Sparks.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by

the Harriswortb Steel Company, George T.
Oliver, John E. Frye and William T.

Twenty-seventh streets. The defendants, it
Is asserted, have two steel converters which
at every heat throw out sparks which strike
against the plaintiff's buildings, endanger
ing them. They are afraid of a fire and
asked the defendants to make some arrange
ment to prevent the sparks flying, but they
have neglected to make any.
An injunction is asked for to restrain the
defendants from the use of the converters
until the sparks are arrested.
TO EXPEDITE BUSINESS.
A Scheme to Keep Criminal Court Cases on

District Attorney Johnston has issued an
order which it is thought will expedite
business considerably in the Criminal Court
He has instructed his clerks to prepare a
weekly list of cases for trial and notify the
attorneys in the cases that such a list has
been prepared. The attorneys can then
look over the list and if there are any cases
they want postponed they can go into court
before the day set and ask for a postpone
ment, n
The vacancies on the list can then be
filled up with other cases and the business
of the court move on steadily with no de
lays. A HEW TBIAL WANTED.

tained that there had been no evidence to
prove Myers' guilt, and that in the charge
of the court the illustrations were inapt and
tended to prejudice the jury.
The court reserved its decision.

DRIVEN TO AMERICA.
A. C. ROBERTSON'S REASONS FOR LEAV.
INQ SCOTLAND.
The Result of a Holiday Picnic Cost More
to Loaf Than to Work Cutting Down a
Week's Wages What He Owes His Old
Boss In Scotland.
Hon. A. C. Bobertson is a Scotchman,
and is glad of it At the same time he is
proud to be an American citizen, and is as
ready to bare his head to the Stars and
Stripes as the man who can produce an affi
davit that his forefathers paid first-cabin
rates for transportation on the Mayflower.
He returned as many thanks as anybody in
this Commonwealth yesterday, and threw
in one or two extra for goad measure.
Mr. Bobertson dropped into City Hall
yesterday, and being in a reminiscent
mood, related the cause that led to his com
ing to this country.
"When I was 13 years old," said Mr.
Bobertson, "I was apprenticed to a big firm
in Glasgow to learn glass blowing. I had
worked faithfully for over two years when
a holiday came along. I went out to a
picnio at a pleasure resort near Glasgow to
spend the day, and had a great time. By
the time I had taken home the young lady
whom I had been escorting it was 11 o'clock,
and I was due at the glasshouse at mid
night The spirit was willing, but the
flesh was weak; I was too tired to go to
work, and I went to bed instead. That was
on Friday, and the next day being Satur
day, I decided that it was no use to spoil
the week, so I did not attempt to work.
"I went after my wages, however, which
were 22 shillings a week. When I got my
envelope I found but 2 shillings in it I
asked for the reason, and was told that I had
been fined 10 shillings a day for the two days
I had been absent. I made a plea, stating
that I had worked faithfully and had not
idled as some of the other boys had done,
but it was no good. The 'old man' quietly
remarked: 'Fes, that is all right, but we
want to discourage you in this sort of thing.
The fine will stand.' It did discourage me,
and two weeks later I was on my way to this
country.
"When I was back in Scotland a short
time ago I met my old boss. According to
his figures I owed him 675, or about $3,300
in the shape of fines for my continued
absence."
A LONE STAB DELEGATION.
The Texas Immigration Committee Goes
East to Interest Capitalists.
Seated last night in a Pullman parlor car,
on the limited, were S. B. Hanna, B. A.
Pell and Dr. L. E. Fisher, of Dennison,
Tex., delegates of the Texas State Immigra
tion Association. When approached by a
Dispatch reporter, Dr. Fisher became
spokesman for the party and said their mis
sion East was to induce capital and manu
facturing interests to locate in Texas. "We
have a very large tract of territory lying
within the boundaries," said he, "that is at
present unimproved. With the natural
facilities the country affords in the way of
fertile and prodnctlve lands, soon to be
traversed by lines of railroads, with a cer
tain amount of capital invested in improve
ments Texas will be one of the most flourish
ing and thriving States of the union.
"The number of immigrants is constantly
increasing, and capital is at last recognizing
the Southwest affords as good investments as
the Northern States."
SHE HAD A GBIEVANCE.
Complaint From a Little Girl Who Could
Not Attend a Dance.
"Say, mister, don't I look to be more than
IS years old?" said a pretty little miss, who
had hastened into the Allegheny Mayor's
office last night, and accosted Frank Aiken,
Chief Murphy's private clerk. She was
of decidedly girlish appearance, wear
ing s dress that reached only to her knees.
The cause of the girl's inquiry was that she
had been refused admission to a ball because
of being under the age of 16, and she wanted
an order from the Chief to get in, stating
that her 16th birthday occurred during last
April. She was informed that a letter from
her mother was necessary before she could
get into the ball.
The refusal of admission to balls of girls
under the age of 16 years is a recent order
by Chief Murphy, unless they are accom
panied by their parents.

The celebrated Scottish draught player was

Huff, Bodgers and Bosenberger and
notwithstanding the lateness of tbe
hour, a board was presented and Mr. Maize
faced the Scottish expert, but after a hard
strutrcle Maize bad to succumb to a master
greater than himself, and another game was
played with the same results. The subject of
our remarks was uorn in xiiucouitay, Scotland,
in 1S36, and at an early age commenced playing
draughts. His father being a very strong
player, and from watching tbe play
of strong players, and adopting their style of
play he soon became very expert and at the age
of 15 years played the champion of tbe world,

To tbe Checker Editor or The Dispatch:
Dear SlRr-In reply to R. W. Patterson and
H. L.'s communications on problem No. 10, 1
have this to say, that it came up in a game about
five years ago in Bradford, Pa., between myself
and Mr. Pierce, who was playing tbe white?. I
claimed a win, but Mr. Pierce said be could
draw it, and it being so neat, I remembered it.
1 never know of a player ot tho namo ot Mar
tins or beard of Martins' gems, and I never saw
a book on checkers but one about six years ago
named "Spaith's Book ot Draughts" and have
not seen one since. As far as I am coneerned
lam Innocent of all that tbe communications
referred to Insinuate, and it is only just to Mr.
Patterson and H. L.'s position as great players
to state how problem came about. I am only
an amatenr, and all of tbe positions I send to
THE Dispatch aro my own, and if they have
been printed before, I had no knowledge of it
nor bad any means of knowlnir. Yours re
spectfully, W. H. H. Stuart,

Checker Gossip.
The Derry News' correspondence tourney
will use up nearly o.uuu postal earns, or an
amount of 60 in money. Quite a help to Uncle
Sam. Each player plays 6U games, making a
total of 900 games, of which there will be a total
of nearly 45.000 moves, or nearly 150,000 figures
used in making tbe moves. The above may
look large to any but a checker player, but he
knows full well that it is figured low.
Mr. Blnhardt, a promising young boy player,
was in tbe city with Mr. Rae, from Buena,
Vista. He was scarcely able to hold his own
with tbe leading players, but had little trouble
in disposing of the others.
The answers and solutions to our prize prob

A Lady's Statement "I Would
Rather Die,"
Said Mrs. White, 'than suffer as I have for the
past four years. The catarrhal poison in my
system caused me to he continually taking
cold, and with every cold the pain in my head
becime worse. Although I was able to get rid
of some of the poisonous matter by spitting
out what dropped into my throat, yet the se
cretion formed in my bead faster than I could
expel it. nntil a severe .inflammation set in.
My eyes became so inflamed and weak that I

was compelled to wear glasses for one year and
a half. -My nose became greatly swollen and
puffed out, and the disease ulcerated deener
and deeper, nntil five bones dropped out of my
nose, some of tbem measuring over one inch in
length. Also a large bone dropped nnt of tbe
roof of my month, llost flesh nntil I weighed
onlv 73 ponnds.
"1 treated with several physicians, but found
no relief, fori could get no peace by day nor
rest at night. Finally I became very deaf, and
as my condition grew worse I gave np all hope,
nntil one day I called on tbe physicians of tbe
Catarrh and Dyspeptia Institute, and was told
tbey conld yet remove every trace of the
catarrhal poison from my system and thus save
me from consumption, for my throat had be
come very sore, and I was afraid I woald die
with consumption, as some of my friends had
done.
'I therefore placed myself ender their treat

has been restored. I have regained my flesh
and feel well and strong. I live on Penn ave

RECEIVED AT HIS HANDS.
Mrs. Argyle had been troubled with her head
and stomach six years. Pain over the eyes,
ringing in tbe ears, hawking and spitting up a
dark colored mucus, constantly blowing crusts
ont of nostrils tbroat dry and always a bad
taste in too mouth in tbe morning. Never
could eat anything in the morning, and after
dinner and sapper always bad bloating op and
rifting of gas. shooting pains all through the
lungs to each sbonlder blade, with sympathetio
heart trouble. Her heart would beat rapidly
for awhile and then intermit and beat slow and
labored, cansing such dizzy spells tbat she
would faint dead away. Iter sleep was dis
turbed by horrid dreams and when she awoke
in tbe morning was more tired than when she
went to bed.
Mrs. JTevin Argute, Talbot avenue. Braddoct,
After six months' continuous and systematic
treatment, which required considerable pv
tience on both Dr. Byers' ana Mrs. Argyle'f
part, he pronounced her cured. A few weeks
afterward he was surprised to have her call at
his office and say that "she and her husband
had been talking tbe matter over and decided
that as she bad received so much bencflt from
the treatment, tbat they thought itwas as little
as they could do for Dr. Byers to have him pub
lish her case as encouragement to others
afflicted as she was." It is, tnerefore, with ex

above testimony in favor of bis method of treat

for suffering humanity. She 13 well-known la
