THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1883.

PROPOSALS IN NOVELS.

Nancy, Miss Broughton's heroine, tells her middle-aged wooer, among other things, that she accepts him, because I did think it would be a nice thing for the boys; but I like you my self, besides. After this ardent confession he "kissed her with a sort of diffidence." Many men would have preferred to go out and kick

JOHN BROWN!~-

That John Brown is dead will take time for us to realise. For some twenty years or so his name has been always before the public. The once popular London periodical, The Tomahawk, published a cartoon of him as "The Shadow of the Throne," in which he was represented, as in shadowy form, standing behind the Queen's chair. There was nothing shadowy, however, about John Brown. He was about as substantial a man to look at as one could well sec, and they don't make them much more so. He looked likely to live to old age, and he has gone in middle life, like his master, Prince Albert. The telegraph tells us not enough, and the world will

wanting to know if death was, occasioned by

similar causes...

Strange, indeed, that within one generation the plain name of John Brown" should bave rattled like a dog-chain through both Great Bri- tain and America. The reverberations have been thence heard throughout the work. While

the one has been marching on in the spiritual sense, the other has been doing so in the fleshly onc. The spirit of the American Brown has long been celebrated in song--that song which Barry Cornwall tells us sets the seal to all that is great and good. The poets will now be busy enough with the British Brown, and lime will show which of the two will eclipse the other.

A great theme indeed for the wits and witlings of Britain will be the lately-deceased Brown! By this time epitaphs by the hundred, if not by the thousand, have been written, read, and recited, and not a few of them posted to hen posting his bereaved Royal mistress. dirges, and requiems in his mentory, and those will go to the Royal mistress, and not to the widow Brown, to whom not one in a thou. sand will give a thought. These will make a literature of the unprinted kind, and therefore all the more precious in its unpublished state-some- thing like what we have heard, but never read, those poetical efforts that obtained so much ver- bal circulation on the marriages of the Royal princesses.

And yet what a volume these poetical epitaphs and like souvenirs would make? The famous "Rejected Address" would be but small-beer compared to them. The royal official's notes, acknowledging the receipt-of-many of them on behalf of Brown's bereaved mistress, might also be published. They would serve to show in what spirit they were received, and what, if any, tokens of favour were shown to their writers.

We saw John Brown twice only-once at Bal-distant. moral and once in London. On each occasion he wore Highland costume, to which, we believe he always adhered. On his appearing so attired at Windsor Castle, when first promoted to his late office, the lord-in-waiting was reported to of the ladies to whom his half-dressed state have expostulated with him, probably on behalf might not have been pleasing. It was then that J. B. began those replies that showed how little he cared for any opinion beyond that of his Royal mistress. Through the length and breadth of the land it was reported-and published in all

MARCH STORMS.

The following brief synopsis of the storms of March for ten years will show how safe it was for Wiggins to predict a storm on any three days

of March:

March, 1882, shook its 'mane like a true mon- arch of the desert and roared at sundry times to the tune of sixty miles an hour throughout the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic States."..

In 1873 March also proved to be a very stormy month, eleven severe disturbances having passed across the country.

In 1874 there were no less than twelve storms of cyclones that travelled the country from the Rocky Mountains, doing great damage.

March, 1875, showed a severe storm, taging Along the New Jersey and Gulf coasts during the and, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Eleven storms most of which were severe, visited the country that montheben una cand bodike, i verrata de The storms of March, 1876, were eight in num ber" In many places the wind blew over fifty- miles per hour.

From her fondness for everything that was of the Highlands, it is probable that his Royal mistress liked Brown best in the costume in which she first saw him. Whatever it was about him that so impressed itself in his favour, who shall say? She said that it was in honour and memory of her deceased Consort that she made so much of Brown, who now became her her daily and sleeping in an ante-chamber to the body servant or personal attendant-attending Royal apartment nightly. It is well known how anything that reminded Brown's Royal mistress of her lost husband endeared itself to one who

so much missed him. Hence the favour shown to one whom she said that Prince Albert had so much liked.

Brown had been long in this state of honoured and happy servitude before the world heard of of his wife, and nothing of any family that he' his wedding. Surprisingly little was ever heard had. His wife, it is believed. saw but as little of him as does the wife of a whaler. She was solaced for such apparent reglect by knowing how much else he had to look after, and what his duties were elsewhere. It was comforting, no doubt, to her to know that he was well em.
