IN MEMORIAM.
LOUIS PHILIPPE ALBERT D'ORLÉANS, COMTE DE PARIS.
Died at Stowe House, Buckinghamshire, Sept. 8, 1894.
A ROYAL exile, and our England's guest,
Let English church-bells chime him to his rest,
Whilst English hearts respectfully condole
With a devoted wife's sore-sorrowing soul.
Not as the heir of a too shadowy crown,
Who knew long exile's ache, and fortune's frown,
But as a friend who long with us did dwell,
And a brave man who bore fierce suffering well,
We grieve for him, and bow as sounds his passing bell.
A Suggested Addendum.—In the course of a sharply-written article in this month's The Theatre Magazine (under the editorship of Frederick Hawkins), Mr. Clement Scott, while indignantly repelling the charge of venality brought against French dramatic critics by their compatriot M. Alexandre Dumas, observes, referring to English authors, "We have our Dumases on this side of the Channel." Undeniably. And, we may add, "Would they were Dumb-asses!"
