A hope was expressed that Mr. Vining of the Southern Pacific Company would take cognizance of the published offer of the Union street line and for once in its history imitate an example that would have a tendency to create a kindly feeling in the minds of the people of the city toward the cor- poration. The hope, however, seems a forlorn one, as Mr. Huntington's agent not only refuses the volunteers the free use of his cars the short time they will remain here, but has succeeded in collecting all the troops, with the excep- tion of two regiments, out in the Richmond District, where the soldiers, In order to get to and from camp, must of necessity pay their nickels into the cofters of the Southern Pacific Company, as they alone control this entire section of the city. It is considered by the public rather significant that all the troops should be moved to an out-of-the way place to suit the convenience of the monop- oly, leaving the Presidio, where they rightly belong, absolutely desolate. The Government, it is claimed, is going to the expense of constructing water mains in the streets adjoining the camp at Richmond in order to supply the necessary water facilities, when half the expense would not be necessary in supplying the Government reservation with the same improvement. * ok ok ok ok ok oK Kk Ok K K R K Kk R K KR R KR R R OR SRR R R R R R R X X R R % % X % N T T T 2 s A R B R R R R R R unteers who are quartered at the Fon- tana barracks are puttins in their time in daily drill and are becoming quite pro- ficient in the manual of arms and field evolutions.

The original John Dore, so I have been told, was il Jani- tore, that is, St. Peter, and had no | wife, as some people will have it, or at least never acknowledged her in public, though he was kind to his mother-in-law. All this did not prom- | ise well, yet the rest of our little din- ERE are some of the recollec- tions of Professor Max Muller, the greatest of modern philolo- | gists, regarding some of the celebrated people he has met: One of his earliest invitations at Oxford was to meet Thackeray at dinner. The novelist was then writing “Esmond.” There were only four in the party. “We were all very much awed by Thackeray's presence, partic- ularly I, not being able as yet to ex- press myself freely in English. We sat | silent for some time, no one ventured to make the first remark, the soup was | over, and there was a fine John Dore on the table waiting to be splayed. We | were hoping for some brilliant sally from Thackeray, but nothing came. “At last Thackeray suddenly turned his large spectacled eyes on me and said: ‘Are you going to eat your own ancestor? I stared, everybody else stared. At last we gave it up, and Thackeray, looking very grave and | learned, said: ‘Surely you are the son | of the Dorian Muller—the Muller who wrote that awfully learned book on the Dorians; and was not John Dore the ancestor of all the Dorians?’ | “There was a general ‘Oh, oh!’" but | the ice was broken, and no one after | this horrible pun was afraid of say- | ing anything. All I could tell Thack- eray was that I was not the son of Otfried Muller, who wrote on the Do- | rians, but of Wilhelm Muller, the poet, who wrote ‘Die Hi rische Vor- ner party was very successful; it be- | came noisy and even brilliant. “Thackeray, from his treasures of wit and sarcasm, poured out anecdote after anecdote; he used plenty of vine- gar and cayenne pepper, but there was always a flavor of kindliness and good | nature even in his most cutting re- marks.” Another, though less frequent, visitor to Oxford was Tennyson. “His first visit to our house was rather alarm- ing. We lived in a small house in High street, nearly opposite Magda- len College, and our establishment was not calculated to receive sudden guests, particularly a poet laureate. He stepped in one day during a long vacation, when Oxford was almost empty. Wish- ing to show the great man all civil- ity, we asked him to dinner that night and breakfast the next morning. At that time almost all the shops were in the market, which closed at 1 o'clock. My wife, a young housekeeper, did her best for our honored guest. He was known to be a gourmand, and at dinner he was evidently put out when he found the sauce with the sal- mon was not the one he preferred. He was pleased, however, with the wing of a chicken, and said it was the only advantage he got from being poet laureate that he generally received the liver wing of a chicken. The next morning at breakfast we had rather plumed ourselves on having been able to get a dish of cutlets, and were not a little surprised when our guest ar- rived to see him whip off the cover of the hot dish, and to hear the ex- clamation: ‘Mutton chops! the staple of every bad inn in England.’ How- ever, these were but minor matters, though not without importance at the | Huxley and several more. time in the eyes of a young wife to whom Tennyson had been like one of the immortals. He was simply de- | lightful, and full of inquiries about the East, more especially about Indian poetry.” A later glimpse of Tennyson is af- forded at a lunch given by Dean Stan- ley in honor of the late Qu of Hol- land.

Stanley suggeste we should not wait any longer, the Queen refused to sit down bef the great poet’s arrival. At last it was suggested that Ten- nyson might be mooning about in the Cloisters, and so he was. He was caught and he was placed next to the Queen. The Queen knew wonderfu how to hide her crown and put every body at their ease. She took the. con- versation into her own hands, and kept the ball rolling during the whole lunch- eon. But she got nothing out of Ten- nyson. He was evidently in low spirits, and sitting next to him I could hear how to every question the Queen ad- dressed to him he answered, ‘Yes, ma’'am,’ ‘No, ma'am,’ and at last, by a great effort, ‘Ma'am, there is a good deal to be said on both sides of the question.’ He then turned to me and said in a whisper, but a loud whisper, ‘I wish they had put some you talk~ ing fellows next to Regina. Dean Stanley himself, Professor Mul- ler records, not on had no love for music but actually suffered from hear- ing it. Whenever he could he walked out of the room where there was music. He never disguised his weakness, he never professed any love or admiration for music, and yet Jenny Lind once told Professor Muller that he paid her the highest compliment she had ever re- ceived.
