The Little MYSTERIES of Great Writers


Some excite their brains by means Of tobacco.
Gavarni smokes without ceasing, like steam en-
CINE. He fires up in the morning, and only goes
out at night.
Eugene Sue, when he occupied the poetic re-.
treat in the street Pepiniere, would close his
chamber hermeticay, and write in darkness
But his writings not less radiant with light
on that account. This reminds me Of the Italian
poet who begged his cat 10 lend him The green fire
Of It's eyes, by which 10 write.
Victor Hugo, when he dwelt IN Paris, made near
ly all his verses while promenading along The canal,
near the Bastile. Al present it is upon the beach
Of the Isle Of Jersey, that he labors amid the wild
screams of the sea gulls.
Janin, far from shutting himself up, composes in
the midst Of conversation, and while talking Of
something else.
Bazac lived during the day like the rest Of the
word-he looked he listened, he talked with his
friends, but said nothing resembling his writings
he was gay and full of laughter. He went to bed
at six-rose at midnight and drank a cup of coffee.
Then he was endued with double capacity-then
he became umnous-he knew everything-then
he revealed all he had ohserved-then he expended
what he had gathered during the day-then he
sketched those admirable pictures and disclosed
those startling revelations. His day.life dream
his nIghtlil a reality.
As for Alexander Dumas, believe he had no re-

he set to work, he took off his coat and his galIow

sides. Nothing ever disturbs him.

o. The FuDctteviLe CdroZinian having sug.
gested that Gen Dockery will not take the stump
until his Democratic opponent shall be nominated,
is answered by the N. e.. Argus that Gen. Dockcry
will wait TOR such thing, but will avail himself ol
all the advantage his early appointment can give
him. We say let him rip; he will probably find
some good Democrat TO answer him al his differcnt
appointments We think, however, that If Gen.
Dockery is such Boanergis as the Argus repre-
sens him, he could afford 10 wait until his oppo.
nent shall take the field, and then domohsh him
very easily.
Blythe. by, that editor Of the Argus is given to
hyperboIism and very imaginative, Withal; else,
tbe Wings have queer candidate. In The sketch
given OF his career by the Argus, he is represent
ed passing through entire session Of Con.
gress Withom sctmking hiss eye. Now, as we have
hinted above, this may be draf: on the imagina.
ton indeed, we have no doubt that it is. He is
further represented by the Argus as, killing sew
eraI persons in 1881, by strangulation. We hope
this, also, is only figure Of speech employed TO
represent the tetota annhilation Of poor Caldwell
and his "faction," wrought by the douty hero who
went so long without winkng his eye. Really
to take the report of the Argus literally,
we should begin to think OF emigratng, 10 escape
the wrath to come upon the stronghoIds OF De-
mocracy this summer, aInong which Warren is
somewhat noted.
Now, can't appreciate that sort of election
eering which takes a man, who Is but an ordinary
man, and makes demigod Of him as soon as he
is nominated to run for an office. Gen. Dockery
may be, and doubt is, tolerable clever old
fellow, good neighbor, successful farmer and all
that sort OF thing he may even be possessed OF
much irmness of purpose and great strength of
intellect, yet these do not constitute him Web
ster. At least they give him no license for
" straDgng" folks, and we hope he will refrain
from that mode of treating his opponents when he
comes this WdrrentO1a NewS.
