The Colfax Chronicle

-The aesthetic movement has more than once furnished a theme for the dramatist; it has now found a historian. The author of the work which professes to set aestheticism--now, since the departure of Oscar Wilde, rather moribund in London-once more on its legs is Walter Hamilton, a young gentleman who appears to be more "utterly utter" than the renowned Oscar himself. He abuses Du Maurier and Robert Buchanan in forcible terms, and maintains that there is no such thing as literary or artistic taste outside the charmed circle of aesthetics. Mr. Hamilton is himself a resident in the unsesthetic neighborhood of Clapham, sacred to cockneys, and never before remarkable for devotion to fine art.
