Londox, Octobor9. The autumn session of Parliament opens next week, and with it will commence a short season of small dinner-parties, cosy «• at homes," and impromptu dances. The latter ate to many minds far pleasanter en tertainments than the great crushes in May and June. True, the granites dames of society seldom condescend to shed the light of their august countenances on October and November reunions; but, Owing to the very fact of their absence, there is less formality and more supper. At the big balls in summer portly and great ladies occupy the refreshment rooms con tinually, to the detriment of younger and less exalted folk. Girls are often parched with thirst for a glass of champagne or lemonade, which their partners try vainly to got for them, because of the dense crowd in the supper-rooms, where elderly people literally ait by the hour together absorbing chicken andPommery and talking scandal. In the autumn there is nothing of this ob jectionable kind. The parties are small, and regulated with some regard to the general comfort. . The Grand Duke of Hesse s unfortunate morganatic marriage continues an all absorbing topic of conversation in society. You know, of course, that the Countess Romrod intends to op pose the divorce, and that, should she prove successful, the Duke will resign the Government of Hesse to his son and retire Into private life. The Queen is credited with having laid down this ultimatum. She is extraordinarily scandalised and bitter about the affair, and I fancy "dear Louis" got a nice " wigging" when he visited Windsor last week. The Queen, nevertheless, sticks loyally to the Grand Duke. Considering her devotion to the late Princess Alice, her entire belief in her son-in-law's undying grief for his wife, and the singularly inappropriate time which he chose to marry the risque German countess, it wouldn't have been surprising had Her Majesty turned her back finally upon him. The Emperor of Germany and the Crown Princess did so (as we know) promptly ; even the Prince of Wales felt very angry. All, however, will be forgiven if ."Louis" carries through that divorce successfully. Public rumour in Germany opines he will fail, and be obliged to abdi . cate in his son's favour. Mrs Kendal, one of the cleverest and most charming of living actresses, has got .into terrible "hot water" with the thea trical profession in consequence of a paper on the stage which she read before the Social Science Congress last week. Most of the assertions made were unanswerable, though materially none the less irritating on that account, and a great many allusions seemed too pointed not to be personal. The " World" avers Mr3 Kendal has notoriously an ill-natured tongue, and that on one occasion Irving refused to act with her at a benefit performance because of the bitter remarks she had gratuitously made about himself, Ellen Terry, and other mem bers of the profession. I can, however, acarcely credit that yarn. — "Saints and Sinners," a five act drama by H. A. Jones (part author of the " Silver King»), has achieved a nieces d'estime at the Vaudeville Theatre. I went the third night, and thought it very dull. The same old story has been told fifty times. Letty Fletcher (daughter of Rev. Jacob Fletcher, the mild-eyed minister of a midland, county town Little Bethel) has two lovers, One, an honest farmer, named Kingsmill, the other a distractingly handsome and fascinating military "gent," CaptainEustaceFanshame. Of course Letty loves the naughty Fan shame, and the latter has little difficulty in tricking her into eloping with him to Tor quay. There it transpires that .Fanshame te already married. Letty begins to rue; but, fortunately, the minister turns up, assures her nothing is known of the elope ment at Sheepleford, and begs his erring child to return home. She assents, and the scene ends with a fracas between Kings mill and .Fanshame, in which the latter (contrary to the author's intention) secures the entire sympathy of the audience. In the fourth act a wicked deacon, belonging to Little Bethel, finds out the secret of Letty's so-called visit to London, and tells. Thereupon, the minister, broken-hearted, resigns his position, and Kingsmill chival rously offers to marry the " soiled dove." The climax to this scene was not, I regret to say, so effective as it should have been. The Rev. Fletcher, when reminded that the . joss of his pastorate entailed deprivation of various kinds for himself and daughter, ob | .served solemnly, "The ravens will feed us;" Now, gallery boys know little nothing about the Bible, and consequently mistook the allusion, supposing it to be an abstruse joke at which they ought to laugh. You may think I am exaggerating, but there was a loud guffaw from aloft, followed by a ,ye11..",0h ! yah Iravens indeed!"' The last act, of course, sate everything straight. Letty "lives down" her false step, the wicked deacon is found to be a. thief, the minister is re-instated, Fanshame dies penitent in India, and Kingsmill wins: Jus love at last. ■• ■ Despite the great age of the story, and the Awkward way that Mr H. A. Jones tells it, ■'Saints and Sinners " is not without merit. Any success the piece achieves will, how ever, be due to the acting; Mr Thomas Thome's mild old parson with his gentle 'kindly -ways, but sturdy unyielding con science, is a fine piece of characterisation. Equally good, too, must be pronounced Mr Mackintosh's Samuel Hoggard, the hypo critical deacon, with the strident voice and iferoad smile, who flatters himself on a re semblance to General Booth, of Salvation .Army fame. Prabble, the grocer who quarrels with his parson because he won't preach against the Co-operative Stores from the pulpit, is also a "touch of nature;" and Mr F. Thome makes much of the parson's faithful follower, ;Luke Burden. The "hit" of the play has, however, been . achieved by by Mr H. B. Conway as Fan shame. Usually stage scoundrels are hooted and yelled at; but, unfortunately, no one could help feeling that Letty would, In all probability, be infinitely happier as the -' good tempered, insouciant Fanshame's mis .. stress than as the violent but virtuous Kingsmill'a wife. We went the other evening to see the 1,500 th performance in London of "Our Boys." I used to think this an awfully -over-rated comedy, but then I had not seen David James as the Buttorman. Fred ■Marshall, John Jack, Horace Lingard— • all these are fair Perkyn Middlewicks; but ' David James is simply inimitable. More over, his " Our Boys " is written up to such '. an extent that it is quite a different and a much improved piece to the original. •: * The last nights of "Princesslda" are ■ announced at the Savoy Theatre, and " The Sorcerer," with "Trial by Jury" as an afterpiece, will be revived, till Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera is ready. From a t musical point of view, "Princess Ida" must be pronounced the most tuneful of • the Collaiorateurs' series, and it seems de cidedlyodditshould-haveprovedless papular than "lolanthe." "In Chancery" is the title of a farcical comedy written by Pinero for Edward <4Terry, and Droduced with some success at Edinburgh last week. The hero suffers • from a bad accident, and loses his memory. " Ho finds himself at a country inn, but can not recollect who he is, where he lives, or whether he is married or single. All sorts of complications ensue. The unfortunate fellow gets mistaken for an escaped mur derer, won't say whether he has committed .the crime or not, and is on the point of marrying-the landlord's red-haired virago - of a daughter to save himself, when his wife, ,his mother-in-law, and five children - turn up, and all is set right." ;.. Another successful piece produced in the , ;i jßtovinces, and credited to Frank Barrett, ?*te novelists,bears the title of "Fast Irffi 8-" --J* f^M Played shortly at a <v"1' U a P^pable hit (as is WR^Wteavw-.to.attiio.Sdvelty before " Polly."

The champion sensation novel of 1884 has been written by Edward Jenkins, author of "Ginx's Baby." It is called a " Week of Passion," and purports to bo the history of a criminal conspiracy between tho Earl of Selby, a member of Lord Beaconafields Cabinet, and a highly respectable firm of solicitors. The first chapter describes a terrible but highly original murder. In tho middle of Regent Circus, on a summer afternoon, at the height of the London season, a man suddenly blows up. Nothing is left of him on tho spot, nor any indica tion of his late whereabouts, save an inden tation on th ground ; but, directly after wards there faus a ghastly ruin of bloody and tiny atoms of flesh, which covers the clapping of the horrified bystanders. One of them, a Yorkshire farmer, is taken to the police station in order that his coat may bs examined, and imbedded in a clot of blood the chief detective finds a pioco of enamel from one of Fordham's (a famous London maker) watches. This, together with a human hand discovered on tho roof of an adjoining house in Oxford street, affords the police a clue; and, in a week's time the mystery is solved, and the murderer brought to justice. To tell any more would Be to deprive those who revel in elucidating detective horrors of a treat. Equally powerful in its way and far pleasanter reading is " Incognita," by Henry Creswell. This gentleman achieved a deserved buccoss two years ago with "A Modern Greek Heroine," but his second attempt, " Fan and Tree," proved a failure. "Incognita" commences with a private duel in a wood near London, in which the hero, Ravenhill, and a da3tard bully fight with sword canes, and the latter is run through the heart. Mr Ravenhill wipes his weapon, and is turning to depart, when a tall girl wearing a black mask confronts him. She ascertains particulars^ of the quarrel, applauds Ravenhlll's action, and swears silence. Afterwards tho pair meet in Bociety, and Ravenhill, who doesn't re cognise in Ariine Culmer the possessor of his secret, takes a great dislike to tho girl. Of course she loves him. Eventually sus picion of the murder attaches to Ariine, and Ravenhill, out of malicious devilry, is en couraging it, when he suddenly learns that the girl ho has contemned and disliked and the mysterious Incognita " are one and the same. Ariine allows herself to bo arrested and tried, in order to give Ravenhill time to escape. She is acquitted, but Ravenhill does not reward her with his hand. On the contrary, he marries a Russian peasant, and dies abroad. This is tho barest outline of the story, which is carefully elaborated, and capitally told. You should road it. Henry M. Stanley's new work on the Congo will not be out till next March ; but Ladyßrassey's "In the Trades, tho Tropics, and the Roaring Forties," ia just ready. This will, of course, bo in groat domaud at the libraries; personally, however, I am getting a wee bit tired of the " Sun beam."

"John Bull's Womankind," the latest effort of the clever author of John Bull an i hislsliind," was to be published in Paris this week. The English translation should be out in about a fortnight. I ought to remind you, too, that James Payn's "Literary Recollections "can now be obtained bound up in one volume. They form capital reading. Payn know Dickens, Miss Milford, Miss Martinson, the Chambers Bros., and many other interesting folk, and has plenty to tell about his own career.

How well " our boys " are catered for in the way of literature nowadays. Authors of the calibre of G. A. Henty, and Manville Fenn, and Charlotte Yonge used to write for juveniles when I was young. Listen to this list of attractive novelties for the coming season : " True to the Old Flag," a story of the American War, by G. A. Henty; "Bungy's Land," the story of a wild journey th-ough New Guinea, by Geo. M.Fenn ; and "St. George for England," by G. A. Henty. I could name many more, but I will devote a letter specially to the Christmas books for youngsters of all sexes and sizes shortly. Here are some of the most important novelties for older folk promised. Messrs SmithElderannounco "Feristah's Fancies," new poems by Robert Browning; "With Hick Pasha on the Soudan," by Hon. J. Golbourne ; a now novel entitled "Doris," by the author of "Phyllis," "Mrs Geoffrey," etc.; and a cheap edition of the popular novel "John Herring." Chatto & Windus announce "A History of the Four Georges," by Justin McCarthy; " Philistia," a novel by Cecil Power ; and " The Wearing of the Green," by Basil. Longman's most important forthcoming publications include Lord Malmesbury's Autobiography ; " The Black Poodle," and other stories, by F. Anstey; ': My Friends and T," by Julian Sturgiss; and a volume of essays by A. K. H. B. Eegan, Paul, and Trench announce cheap editions of " My Ducats and My Daughter," and McDonald's "Donal Grant," and " Simpson Low;" a six shilling issue of Mrs Riddell's " A Struggle for Fame " and "Berna Boyle."

A Positivist Pigeon.

The, "Spectator" says:—"The present writer knows a pigeon of exceedingly ec centric disposition, not unlike ' the single gentleman' in Dickens's ' Curiosity Shop' in his habits. He keeps seven pigeon-boxes all to himself, and persecutes relentlessly any pigeonß which propose to share their dwellings with him. He is an averse to the society even of the gentler sex, as was St. Antony himself in the Egyptian deserts. Not a pigeon will he admit within the circle of his sway. And yet.in spite of this resolute and inveterate bachelorhood, this eccentric pigeon is always endeavouring to build nests, and looking out for objects of an egg-like form, which he thinks it pos sible to hatch. He will accumulate twigs and atrawe now here, now there, at very great pains and labour. Ho will coo some times to inanimate objects, sometimes to captive birds of another breed, sometimes to a kitten or a dog, or even a flower-pot, with the quaintest and politest antics. He will sit patiently on china saucers on the mantelpiece of one room, while he accumulates the materials for a nest to the top of a closet in another room. He does noB even drive away the possible mother of a family with more zeal than he shows |in seeking to be a good father to some imaginary chick which he seems to expect to elicit from a ring-stand or a letter weight. So far as the present writer can judge, he is a pigeon of strong Matthusian views, who hopes to inaugurate a new regime which may have the same relation to the ordinary habits of pigeons which the Positivist worship bears to the other re^ ligions of the world."

A Brahmin's mistake.

Some shocking tragedies have occurred in the Sibsagor district of India. A travelling honarie jeweller arrived late one evening at the house of a Brahmin with whom he had a slight acquaintance, and displayed his wares. The Brahmin, after making some purchase, offered to put him up for the night. The offer was gladly accepted, and it was arranged that the jeweller should sleep on the floor in the room occupied by the Brahmin's son, the Brahmin and his wife occupying the other room. While preparing to turn in, the honarie heard the sharpening of a dao, and fragments of a conversation being carried on between the Brahmin and his wife.

Suspecting foul play, he induced the son to change places with him ; and, as soon as the former was asleep, placed a dummy composed of a bundle of clothes on the bed, crept quietly out, and ascended a tree at the baok of the house. In about half an hour he heard the dao doing its work, the exclamations of disappointment at finding no plunder, shortly afterwards followed by a cry of anguish at the discovery of the mistake the murderer had made. From his place of concealment the jeweller then saw the Brahmin come under the tree with a hoe. Here he dug a grave, ia whioh be buried the body of his son. At early dawn the ieweller descended from his hiding pl.ice, and gave information at the nearest thanna. The police found the body under the tree and arrested the Brahmin, whose trial comes off at the next assizes.—" St. Jame3 Gazette."

Yon Moltke's Love of Flowers.

Even the great, are not exempt from the martinent annoyances imposed by foreign officials. Field-Marshal yon Moltke, re turning a few days ago from Ragatz in Switzerland, where the veteran general has been spending a few weeks in retirement, was presented by tho inhabitants with a large bouquet, it being known that the old soldier is a great lover of flowers. He pro posed to return home by way of the Vorarl berg, which would necessitate his crossing the Austian frontier. Here, however, his bouquet was refused passage, it not being> permitted to. take flowers across the frontier i or iear ol the phylloxera. The 'Marshal, rather than part from his bouquet, X^S^J 1" ~ote and proceeded fi orae ttrough German Switzerland. This man of blood and iron-hasi it would appear, |a tender side where the |air chUdreTof Na ture are concerned. • I
