FANNY FERN was a woman of remark
able spirit. She endured her long suf-
fering with great fortitude. When her

she insisted upon writing her Ledger
articles with her left hand, and she con.
tinued to perform this task almost to
the day of her death. 1t is said Mr..
Bonner has paid her SI50,000 for her
writings. She was very fond of chill
dren, and they delighted in her. In
domestic life she was fastidiously neat,
and could not write if her table or room
was in the least out of order. Though
very egotistic in her writings, she dis
liked to appear before the world in pub
lie. She used to be seen nearly every
afternoon, about four o'clock, walking
on Broadway, or in the vicinity of
Union Square, with her husband. She
usually spent the summer in New En-
gland, each year in some new retreat,
but for the last two summers she resided
in cottage at Newport. Mast and
"Doesticks" were both related to her.
