THE HISTORICAL NOVELIST.
Cm Cralnl a CbUMtot af
at Stock t ram Hk Own?
Tbe f«ot is tlmt do lunn cau step
off his own shadow. By do effort ot
tbe will cnd he thrust himself back
ward into tbe jiast and shed liis
share of the accumulations of the
•gee, of nil the myriad accretions of
thought and reutiiueut and knowl-
edge, stored up in tbe centuries that
lie between him and tbe time be is
trying to treat. Of necessity be
pots into his picture of days gone
by more or less of the days in which
be is living. Shakespeare frankly
accepted the situation; bcott at-
tempted the impossible.
Not only is it impossible for a
man to get away from his own ,
country, but it is equally impossible :
for bim to get away fiom bis own '
nationality. Has any author evtr
been able to create a character of a ■
different stock fiom bin own t Cer |
tainly all the greatest tigures of fie-
tion are compatriots of their au-
thors. We have bad many carpet-
bag novelists of late—men and
women who go forth gayly and
study a foreign country from tha
platform of a parlor car—and some
of these are able to spin yarns which
hold tbe attention of listening thou-
sands. What the people of the for-
eign oountries think of these super-
ficial tales we can measure when we
recall the contempt in which we
Americans hold the efforts made by
one and another of the British nov-
elists to lay the scene of a story
here in the United States. Dickens
and Trollope and Reade were men
of varied gifts, keen observers nil
of them, but how lamentable tha
spectacle when they endeavored to
portray an American! Probably
most American endeavors to portray
an Englishman are quite as foolish
in the eyes of tbe British. Dickens
twice chose to compete with tha
carpetbag novelists, and if we
Americans are unwilling to see a
correct picture of our life in "Mar-
tin Cbuzzlewit," we mry be sure
that the French lire as unwilling to
acknowledge the "Talo of Two Cit-
ies" as an accurate portrayal of the
most dramatic epoch in their his-
tory.
There are those who think it war a
piece of impertinence for a Londoner
like Dickens to suppose that ha
could escape the inexorable limita-
tions of his birth and education and
hope to see Americana or French-
men as they really are. Far finer
artists than Dickens have failed in
this—artists ot a far more exquisite
touch.
Tbe masterpieces of the great
painters instantly declare the race
to which the limner himself belong-
ed. Rubens and Velasquez and Ti-
tian traveled and Haw the world.
They have left us portraits of men
of many nationalities, and yet every
man and woman Rulietm painted
seems to us Dutch, every man and
woman Velasquez painted seems to
us Spanish, every man and woman
Titian painted seems to us Italian.
In short, n man can 110 more escape
from his race than he can eocape
from bis century. It is the misfor-
tune of the historical novelist that
be must try to do both.—Professor
Brander Matthews in Forum.

A clergyman told tnu an amusing
story the other day of au eccentric
old lady in his parish who was do-
voted to good works and quite
'second curato In the parish in spite
of ber eccentricities. Having to
leave home on one occasion, she had
to pay some small parochial account
for bim, a matter of frequent occur
re nee when be happened to be
«««y, but, knowing how punctil
ious be was about repayment an
soon as he returned, she was much
embarrassed that on this occasion
he called several times without al
luding to the subject.
Borne six monfns later he sudden
ly remembered bis omission and
hastened to discharge his debt and
duly apologized, but tbe simple old
soul bad found a way out of tha
difficulty, as she assured bim, by
repaying herself. "But how did
you do that!" said ber vicar in sur
prise. "Ob, when I saw you had
forgotten all about it I just stopped
my usual contribution on Sundays
until I had paid myself back!" Her
surprise was immense when sba
waa greeted by a hearty burst of
laughter.—Lady'• Pictorial.

Mme. Patti possessed an ardent
admirer—an old blind woman who
llred hi tbe neighborhood of Oraig-
y-Ko», and wbone chief interest in
life was tbe gowip about tbe great
stager's daily doings, etc. Two or
three times had the old lady beard
the prima donna sing, and great
bad been tbe impression made upon
ber. 80 much so, indeed, that when
she lay ill she declared that nothing
but a recurrence of that treat would
make ber get well again. "She's
that good I believe she'd come here
and sing to me if she knew it would
act me on my feet again," was her
declaration.
Her friends, anxious to please her,
persuaded a youDg girl from a dis-
tance, n sweet voiced singer, to come
to tbe cottage to sing one song
and led the blind woman to believo
that lime. Patti bad consented to
grant ber request. But the first
verse was enough.
"No, no; it's not herself!" cried
tbe invalid. The deception bad fail
||ed. "But I'll live now till I do bear
her again," fried tbe angry old
woman. "I won't be done out of
What I'd made up my mind to."
And she did live until long after
her wiab was gratified.-Pearson's

Generally speaking, tbe slope of
the beds of rivers flowing into tho
Mississippi from the east is, on
the average, about II inches per
mile. Those entering it from tbe
west have an average descent of
about 6 inches per mile. The aver-
age descent per mile of the Missouri
after it leaves tbe mountains is
reckoned nbout a foot; tbe Des
Moines from it* source to its con-
Junction with tbe Mississippi, about
7.8 inches. Tho entire length of the

inches. The Mississippi from the

fall of about inches.—Ohio State

alongshore during transdt in a big
city like New York can only be im-
agined. No reasonable valuation
can be given, for we should have to
to
dive too deeply into the amounts of
imports and exports to get any-
where near tho truth, but it is safe
to say that f100,000,000 would
Bcnrcely cover the property cxpobed
to tho danger of Ore in a single day
among the piers and wharfhouses
of Neiv York city.
Nor is this danger confined to
piers and wharf buildings alone, but
vessels in the act of loading and un-
loading valuable cargoes, the big
Ttionded warehouses along tho river
front, the docks for great occan
steamers and the freight stations of
many big railroads arc ali o exposed
to this risk and need to be well pro
tected, for a serious fire among them
would destroy more valuable prop

and a fire once started hero spreads
very rapidly. Then flies on the
piers or in thewhaif buildings are
usually very bard to fight; although
theie is pb nty of watei till around,
it is difficult to apply it to good
effect. The land forces can only
fight such a fire from one position—
the street side—and if the wind is
blowing inland it drives the smoke
and fire directly at them and makes
it nearly impossible to hold this po-
sition. It is here that the floating
fire engine or fireboat can do its val-
uable work, and New York possesses
a fleet of such vessels—throe boats
