Oscar Wilde's eclipse and disappearance, although deserved, will be a loss to the amusable world, in which he had undoubtedly made a name. A distinct blotch of genius—true genius was discernible in him. There is the authentic story of his looking at his wife, nursing their eldest boy in her arms, and saying "Now for the first time I can understand how the figure of the Madonna and the Child has kept the fiction of Christianity alive for two thousand years." His epigrams were a trick, but often bright enough.—Argus Correspondent.
