Mrs. Sprague Not Suing for Divorce. A report has been circulated recently that the wife of ex-Governor Sprage, of Rhode Island, had begun a sult for divorce in Brooklyn, whtle Mr. Sprague had brought similar proceedings in Providence. Mrs. Sprague’s counsel said toa N. ¥ Tribune reperter yesterday: “No suit for divorce has been begun nor contemplated by Mrs. Sprague 4n Brooklyn. Such a report is utterly absurd, because no such suit could be brought under the law either tn Brooklyn or New York, neither of which places could be claimed as a residence. So tar a8 Mrs. Sprague’s counsel know, no suit has been begun by ex- Governor Sprague in Providence. “Naturally her counsel would receive the earliest intima- mations if any such proceedings on his part were contemplated. A suit for divorce will propery be brought by Mrs. Sprague before long, although no definite time can be stated, elther in the District of Columbia or Rhodé Island. She can claim either of these places a3 @residence, No papers have been filed in the case.” It 1s understood, however (adds the 7ri- bune), that the papers are in preparation. Contemporary Account of Waterloo Wellington and Waterloo appear ina fresh aspect in the following hitherto unpublished letter unearthed by the Acatemy. The writer, who was an officer at Wellington’s headquarters during the battle, writes, under date of Brus- Eels, June 19, 1815: “TI cannot help writing two lines to congrat- late and condole with you on the victory watch England has Tee for Europe—at the ex- pense of more than half her army. I must not attempt to og ve you any account of the battle, of which the Gazetie will, I dare say, give us the distinct information. I’ under- stand, however, that {¢ throws every- thing which the Duke has before done into the shade. His personal exertions were, it seems incredible, and certainly secured the success of the day, of which at one time everybody except himself despatred. One of 2s aldes-de-camp told me this morning that he took his position on a ridge from which he de- clared that he never would move—and never J. did move but in triumph. When Bot rte headed an overwhelming charge, the Duke Ubrew himself into the opposi ated by which It was successfully resisted. I mention these particulars because they are precisely what his despatches will not mention, and be- cause I have them from an eye-witness. Every- body was killed or wounded about him; but after an acquaintauce, the inexpressibly horrible. No w thing like who ‘were is can do any- justice to the valor of our people, terally almost smothered by the Superior numbers of the French, who were themselves acharnes beyond all’ former ex- ample. Of this you will judge when I tell you Uthat one of the prisoners has just now, oppo- site to this house, provoked a soldier to bayonet bim by his cries of ‘Vive ’Empereur!’ as well a8 can be judged, the French are supposed to have lost 180 pieces of cannon. The day was at one time supposed to be so completely lost, and the French so thoroughly expected to make thelr appearance that I thought it prudent to despatch a part of the department, with papers aud some of our baggage, toward Antwerp, Lon have Unls morning sent after them to re- urn.” Endymion and Its Author, {Henry Labouchere in Truth. | As for “Endymion,” to confess the truth, I took to skipping after the first twenty pages. Like most of Lord Beaconsfield’s novels, the plot is a confused one, and 1s entirely sub- merged in the conversations of ladies and gen- Uemen, who talk to each other seated upen. “brilliant sofas,” In gorgeous rooms. Here and there 1s a felicitous expression or a weil-drawn, caricature; but there is also a wearisome amount of fustian and high flown clap-trap. I do not think it even comes up to “‘Lothalr,” and itis far inferior to Lord Beaconsfeld’s’ early Rovels. Much of it is the sort of stuff which Ouida would probably have written if, instead of being a woman she had been a man. What true taste is, few could detine, for the good taste of one age 1s the bad taste of another. When Lord Beaconsfield first entered life, the period was a florid one. It was an age of velvet coat-collars, double waistcoats, gold chains, and sparkling rings and breast pins. From these paren habiliments he never has emancipated himself. They pervade the inner as Well as the outer man. They infect his thoughts and his language, and when, as Prime Minister, he allowed them to affect his policy, they al- Most shipwrecked the state. Lord Beaconsfleld may have excellent taste, but it 1s not the taste of the present age, and posterity alone can judge whether he or we are in the right.
