We regret to notice this week the death of Mrs.

Austin, probably the best translator from German into English ever known in literature. She had a faculty quite special to herself of making -Germans talk as they do talk, and yet as they would have talked had they thought in English. She will be greatly missed by a -large circle of friends, for whom for years she held a salon which in some years Approached the best French examples.
