How the Harpers Crush Opposition

How the Harpers Crush Opposition.
The New York corresp ondeut of the
Boston Gazette writes of the Harpers:
Their inyariable rule has been this:
those foreign authors that we reprint no
body else shall reprint; if any one does,
we will kill their edition by selling ours
below cost. So resolutely have they
pursued this plan that every publisher
who has crossed their path has had cause
to repent of his temerity, and Others who
would have been glad to throw down
the gauntlet to them, have wisely let 81
dare not wait upon l would" The
policy pursued by the Harpers has seemed
harsh but, probably under any other plan,
with their long and valuable list of Eng
fish authors, every unaedged publisher
would have had picking in their pre-
serves. A history of the different warfares
in which they have been engaged would
reveal not few interesting facts in literary
history.
Their large capital has for many years
enabled them to be Indifferent whether
special issues profitable or not and they
would unhesitatingly throw away large
sums, if necessary, to kill off rivals book.
The most interesting and lively of all
their contests wal that with Winchester,
some twenty s'eSd sgo. Winchester was
ruined in the en5sionit for long time he
made big fight rrhis was in the height
Of the cheap Gel mania, when Bulwer,
James, "rs. Gray, Miss Pickering, and
other Popular novelists were turning off
fiction by steam. Every steamer brought
over batch of English novels. and some
times in less than thirty hours both the
Harpers and Winchester would have
editions in the market-the one that was
two hours ahead getting the cream of the
sale. Newsboys in those times dashed
through the streets with new novel just
as they did during the war with war
"extrn," and people bought the books in
almost as high excitement. The moment
a copy of new novel by Bulwer or
James was received it was hurried into
the composing room, the doors locked,
and not a soul allowed to leave the prem
ses until the book was~printed, and
ready for the dealers. Those were spicy
times in the book world.

Horace Greeley at Home.

Every Saturday the philosopher of the
Tribune, turning his back on the trials
of Journalism and the turmoil of the
great metropolis, hies him to the sylvan
shades of Chappaqua. There in his ru-
raj home, he seeks-what he seems like
y never to get, repose. Mr.. Greeley as
matter of habit, shambled into a Fourth
Avenue car on Friday afternoon and
rode to Twenty. seventh street, on sever
al occasions sol;loquizing profanely at
the cursed cars. Soon thereafter he was
speedily on his way to the widespread
ing beach trees of his domain. On the
road it occurred to him that he had for
gotten something. He tried to think
what it was, but did not succeed until
nearing White Plains. The sound pho
notyped whae he wanted TO his mind
Why, of course, he exclaimed BEAM
ing all over like a magnified MIR. Pick
wick run to seed" of course, White
Plains Whi:elaw. Why, it's Reid l
want of course"
And then Horace objurgated mildly in
manner that good Henry Ward
Beecher would have beer panied to hear.
AT the first opportunity Horace tele.
graphed to Whitelaw to join him by the
early morning train, and then he went
home to spoil few dollars worth of
vegetation, and Whitelaw saw Chappa-
qua by Yesterdays early train. Lunch
over II. G. insisted upon showing White
law the prize cabbages that Mark Twain
calculated would yield an enormous prof
it when the market price of that succu
lent Vegetable had reached forty dollars
head. III. CTS smiles of complacent
ioy over these wonderful fruits of the
earth were absolutely angelic. He corr
ruscated all over with them, like prefer.
naturally developed chcrub.
Then he showed Reid his pigs; but
here, sad to relate, the pleasure of the
occasion was marred by fell Disaster
An excavation on one side of the pig
pen, made for the purpose of trying some
new patent system of drainage, had been
made during the week without the knowl-
edge of H. G., and he and Whitelaw,
walking confidently on, absorbed in
pleasing conversation, suddenly step
ped where there was no ground for the
soles of their feet to aight on. The
next moment they were floundering ina
pond of savory sush that had oozed from
the pens,
"My gracious!" exclaimed Whitelaw.
"Damn the damned pigs to -"
place that cannot be mentioned
here, schreeched Horace in his highest
falsetto.
They were soon helped ont, however,
and hurried to the house to battle and
prepare for the rest Of their bookish
farming.

on the part Of the farmer and The thresherman In
