Carlyle Corrected. At a Royal academy dinner tn Lon- dou ou one occasion several artists were expressing their enthusiasm about Titian. Carlyle and Thackeray were among the guests. “His glorious coloring Is a fact about Titian.” said one man. striking the ta ble to give emphasis to the remark. “Aud his glorious drawing Is another fact about Titian!" cried another artist And so they went on until Carlyle. Who bad been listening in silence to their rhapsodies. Interrupted them by saying, with a slow deliberation which had its own Impressive emphasis: “And here 1 ait, a man made in the image of God. who knows nothing about Titian and cares nothing about Titian, and that's another fact about Titian." Thackeray was sipping claret at the moment. He paused and bowed cour teously to Carlyle. "Pardon me.” he said; “that appears to me to be not a fact about Titian, but a fact, and a lamentable one. about Carlyle." Legend of the Death of Komth.
