Poem by Herman Scheffauer from Looms of Life. Vivid imagery links toil’s dust and evening calm to oceanic night and celestial pearls. The speaker sees luminosity in distant stars as radiant sisters amid a desolate urban dusk.
The piece surveys R I Zangwill critiquing Mrs Ward on woman suffrage and female psychology, praising Poe’s centenary in France, and noting Percy Fitzgerald's Dickens prop and a proposed Rochester statue. It argues Dickens disliked public memorials while Dickens’s memory remains green and his fame secure.
The London Academy assigns authorship to Lord Alfred Douglas for a long review of Helen Green's work. He critiques the dialect and inventive slang, notes Murger and Villiers de l Isle Adam parallels, and questions Poe centenary debates in Richmond. The piece calls for stopping the debate now.
Alfred Russel Wallace is publicly honored by the Linnean Society on the fiftieth anniversary of the Darwin Wallace joint discovery of natural selection. Sir Joseph Hooker testifies to Darwin's priority while stressing Wallace's claims and the ongoing evolution of biology beyond the initial theory.
The article notes Jonas Lie's early leanings toward naturalism in Scandinavian literature and his later charm from imagination. It states he published nothing substantial until age 33, with a slim volume of poems now largely forgotten. Lie studied with Ibsen and Bjørnson at Christiania, initially pursued the law, was inspired by his wife and cousin Thomasine Lie to turn to writing, and published his renowned novel The Pilot and His Wife at age 40, elevating him among Norwegian authors.
Ferdinand Bonn, an aspiring German actor, publishes Berlin diary chapters on contemporary history and a banned Hohenzollern trilogy. The Kaiser briefly supported him, filling Bonn's house nightly, then soured on the joke, leading to later disaster. Berlin readers find the book frank and amusing, with possible translation here.
R. Walling argues the present Russian movement is widespread and socialist in aim. He uses photographs to illustrate peasant life and notes persecution of Jews, Poles, Finns, Armenians, and others. The review cautions against bias but calls the analysis clear and informed.
