Talks between the grim c Id watchdog and tl SEW FRENCH BOOKS. Many suggestive details on the subject of Ruskln's literary tastes were given by Mr. Severn. He remembered that once when he wanted to quote in a lect- ure en "The Sea" a passage from V: \u25a0\u25a0- tor Hugos 'Toilers of the Sea." Ruskln would not hear of It. He raid "if I did he would get up and protest, and that Victor Hugo was 'a gaslight poet." and that If I wanted to quote something about the sea in storm, I could not %a better than read the wonderful descrip- tion in 'David Copperfield.' of the storm where Steerforth Is drowned." Mr. Severn continued: After the sxeater books, r.i» favorite au- thor* vrere Sor.tt. Dickens and .Maria Edge- worth, tut I have heard him say that he would rather have written Stanley's •"Westminster Abbey" and '•The History of Christian Names." by v- Yorge, than anything of his own >.c had ever written. On ore of 0.1 posting journeys, wm took lilack'a "Adventures of a Phaeton" to read, but it fell in-'. Hu»k;n> hands, and we did not see It a«;atn. He was also murh Interested with "The Moonlit one." by Wll- kle Collins. He loved plenty of mystery and Incident. He would look at a bad picture If th»re was something to r»l»e hi« curiosity, and pass a good one if there wan nothing. Of the poem— after Shake- s;>eare, Dante and Milton-he liked Scott, E>ron nd Words* althouch I once h*-ard him speak of Mr Wordsworth." J.ut that ma.- after a course of Byron. Keats he liked, and saM once. "I have come to that paw of admiration fot him, now that I dare not read him. no discon- tented he make» me with my own work. " The authors, poet* and painters he Hke<l best were thoi'e who taught most, and he uned to nay of himself. "I am nothing unless didactic." Hit Trait* Recalled by Hi* Friend Severn. Mr. Arthur Severn--the friend and pro- t*g* of Ruakln and the aon of the Sev- ern ln whose arms K»ats died — made, an uncommonly Interesting address before the English Authors' Club the other evening. He recounted many anecdotes of Huskln. not the least amusing sf which described sensible old Papa Bus- kin coming Into the room ln mhkh son John had been exhibiting the Turner dram Ing of the 8t Gothard to his guests, and slyly remarking: | 1 knew I often think my son. John, sees more ln these drawings than Turner ever meant " John had gone upstairs to fetch something, and. hearing his de- scending footsteps, the old gentleman hastily retreated The son. said Mr. Severn, "appeared rather out of breath, carrying a heavy stone, which, he said, he had picked out of the rery torrent Turner had painted ln his foreground. This stone,' he said. 'I keep to show how true Turner has been in the red- dish color of his rocks.' and then, wet- ting the atone with water out of a glass he had sent for. said. 'Now you see how exactly he paints the color sf stones made wet by spray ' " Of Rusklns ways with children Mr Severn gave some Quaint recollection*: •*Hls Idea seemed to be to let IkMB BBV* plenty of Jam tart*, and to run about outside on the grass or r^mp ind-.»ors. With very young children he was help- leas. I once saw him craw! on hi? han •! = and knees toward a baby resting on lte mother's lap. then suddenly leap into the air. and dance like Fred Yokes Th- baby. eying him at first with a stony fraze. then soon yelled In despa.r and fright.

Another gilmis- of Ruskln dancing ts almost as comic "He with us," said Mr Severn, "wu In- vited to dine with a very lively French lady, the wife of a well bBBVSj barrister ln London She was very pleased at the great man condescending to dine with her.

Pamphleteers abused the new craze. King Charles re- ceived petitions against the bewitching coffee house, and even signed a procla- mation doing away with It. But he can- celled It within a few hours; the coffee house continued to flourish, and the seri- ous and hopeful young gentlemen went on drinking the delicious beverage and talking, talking, talking Round these old coffee house* cluster Interesting as sociations, literary, political and social, without number and Mr Shelley has made excellent use of them, as he has of those belonging to the great pleasure gardens like Vauxhall and Ra.n*-la»;h and to the literary, social and gaming clubs of the past His book Is decidedly worth having, not only for the sake of !

SEW FRENCH BOOKS.
Many suggestive details on the subjectof Ruskln's literary tastes were givenby Mr. Severn. He remembered thatonce when he wanted to quote in a lect-ure en "The Sea" a passage from V:\u25a0\u25a0-
tor Hugos 'Toilers of the Sea." Rusklnwould not hear of It. He raid "ifIdidhe would get up and protest, and thatVictor Hugo was 'a gaslight poet." andthat IfIwanted to quote something
about the sea in storm, Icould not %abetter than read the wonderful descrip-tion in 'David Copperfield.' of the storm
where Steerforth Is drowned." Mr.Severn continued:
After the sxeater books, r.i» favorite au-thor* vrere Sor.tt. Dickens and .Maria Edge-worth, tut Ihave heard him say that hewould rather have written Stanley's•"Westminster Abbey" and '•The Historyof Christian Names." by v- Yorge, thananything of his own >.c had ever written.On ore of 0.1 posting journeys, wm tooklilack'a "Adventures of a Phaeton" toread, but it fell in-'. Hu»k;n> hands, andwe did not see It a«;atn. He was also murhInterested with "The Moonlitone." by Wll-kle Collins. He loved plenty of mystery
and Incident. He would look at a badpicture If th»re was something to r»l»ehi« curiosity, and pass a good one if therewan nothing. Of the poem— after Shake-s;>eare, Dante and Milton-he liked Scott,
E>ron nd Words* althouch Ionceh*-ard him speak of Mr Wordsworth."J.ut that ma.- after a course of Byron.
Keats he liked, and saM once. "Ihavecome to that paw of admiration fot him,now that Idare not read him. no discon-tented he make» me with my own work.
"
The authors, poet* and painters he Hke<lbest were thoi'e who taught most, and heuned to nay of himself. "I am nothingunless didactic."
Hit Trait* Recalled by Hi*Friend Severn.
Mr. Arthur Severn--the friend and pro-t*g* of Ruakln and the aon of the Sev-ern ln whose arms K»ats died
—made, an
uncommonly Interesting address beforethe English Authors' Club the otherevening. He recounted many anecdotesof Huskln. not the least amusing sfwhich described sensible old Papa Bus-kin coming Into the room ln mhkh sonJohn had been exhibiting the Turnerdram Ing of the 8t Gothard to his guests,
and slyly remarking: |1 knew Ioften think my son. John, sees more lnthese drawings than Turner evermeant
"John had gone upstairs to
fetch something, and. hearing his de-scending footsteps, the old gentlemanhastily retreated The son. said Mr.Severn, "appeared rather out of breath,carrying a heavy stone, which, he said,
he had picked out of the rery torrentTurner had painted ln his foreground.
This stone,' he said. 'I keep to showhow true Turner has been in the red-dish color of his rocks.' and then, wet-ting the atone with water out of a glasshe had sent for. said. 'Now you see howexactly he paints the color sf stonesmade wet by spray
'"
Of Rusklns ways with children MrSevern gave some Quaint recollection*:•*Hls Idea seemed to be to let IkMB BBV*plenty of Jam tart*, and to run aboutoutside on the grass or r^mp ind-.»ors.With very young children he was help-leas. Ionce saw him craw! on hi? han•!=

fraze. then soon yelled In despa.r andfright. The professor retired lookingpuzzled and ashamed." Another gilmis-
of Ruskln dancing ts almost as comic"He with us," said Mr Severn, "wu In-vited to dine with a very lively Frenchlady, the wife of a well bBBVSj barristerln London She was very pleased at thegreat man condescending to dine withher. Two Frenchmen were asked to
