Aablts Df Authors.


James T. Fields, in his new lecture on
''Fiction and it's Eminent Authors." has the
following concerning the habits Of novel
writer's: .l i.- ~~' -s
Hawthorne waited for moods, and mount
ed his tower stairs for composition only
when the fit was on him. Dusky PROFESSIONS
constantly moved about him ~ he walked
his piny hilltop, but his characters rarely
spoke to him until he had locked his study
door and shut out ell ingress from the world
novels Hawthorne greatly delighted in,
writes every day regularly, when he is en-
gagged on y new story, given number of
manuscript pages before twelve O'Clock,
and smiles at the idea of waiting until he
feels like writing" as it is called. Thack-
cray was constantly studying character,
and his observation was unceasng. His
eyes were alert in the street, in the
club, in society, everywhere. l re-
me in brilliant drawingroom: "How
l envy you fellows who are not in
my line are not obliged to utilize profes-
slonaIly all these fine creatures for your
next novel. Dickens was at one time 80
taken possession of by the characters of
whom he was writing that they followed
him everywhere. and would never let him
be alone moment. He told me that when
a, ne was writing the "Old Curiosity Shop"
the creatures of his imagination so haunted
him that they would neither allow him to
sleep or eat in peace; that Little Nell was
constantly at his elbow, NO matter whsre
ne might happen to be, claiming his atten-
t1on and sympathy, as if jealous when he
spoke to any one else. When he was writ
ing Martin Chuzzlewit," Mrs. Camp kept
him in such paroxysms of laughter by
whispering to him in the most inopportune
even in church-rhat he
was compelled to fight her off by main
force. when he did not want her company
and threaten to have nothing more to do
with her unless she could behave better
and come only when she was called.

4 Poser for Q Washery&eman.

The trials OF the washerwomen with their
delinquent debtors are proverbially multi
farious. A pecuriarly unfortunate case,
which 10 alleged to have recently been
brought to an issue in Toledo, Ohio, is told
by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as follows:
"The defendant Sports tho euphonious cog
nomen OF Gregg, Jonas Il. Gregg: MI:
given--failing, after repeated applications,
to collect a bill Of &l9 G. against Jonas,
sued him before justice. Mr.. Gregg
promptly put in an appearance. acknowl-
edged the correctness of the bill, but put
forward as an offset to it the following bill:
Mrs -, TO Jonas Gregg, DR..
To damages done to his feelings in com
pelling her daughter. to break Oft Ler en-
gagement with him, $l9 G..
This. it will be observed. was the exact
amount Of the bill against hin. The Justice
handed the bill to the woman for her in
spection. She could not deny the allega-
ton as to tie engagement. though demur-
ring to the amount. The outcome of this
remarkable legal contest was that the ius.
tice overruled the demurrer and dismissed
the case in favor of Mr.. Gregg.

Managing q Husband.

A Pennsylvania lady has a most roman tic
and ingenious way of managing the gentle
man SO happy as to be her husband. Exas-
perated by her persistent conversation, he
ungallantly boxed her ears the other day.
The wretched woman cast but one lin ger
ing, reproachful glance upon her lord and
fed, simply remarking that the briny deep
should wash away the insult. Leaving be-
hind everything most dear to her-the
home of her married life. full of beautiful
and cherished memories-this hear. broken
woman rushed franticslly to the canal, and,
with. one parting sigh. threw in large
stone with e mighty splash. Then she
went and hid herself in the bushes and gig
gled, while her husband and twenty other
men shnrried up, with horror depicted on
their ceuntenances, and wildly dragged the
canal for her body. When the injured be-
came convinced that the wretch had euf.
fered enough, she appeared from behind
the bushes and led him home, resigned
and willing victim.

Sleepfng Flower.

Almost all flowers sleep during the night
The marigold goes to bed with the sun, and
with him rises weeping. Many plants are
SO sensitive that they close their leaves
during the passage Of cloud. The dande-
lion opens at five or six in the evening.
The goats beard wakes at three in the
morning, and shuts at five OF six in the
evening. The English daisy shuts up its
blossoms in the evening, and opens its
days eye" to meet the early beams of the
morning sun. The crocus, tulips and many
others close their blossoms at different
hours toward the evening. The ivy leaved
lettuce opens at eight in the morning, and
closes forever at four in the afternoon. The
night blooming cereus turns night into dav.
1t begins to expand its magnificent sweet
scented blossoms in the twilight; it is full
blown at midnight. and closes never to
open again, with the dawn of day. In a
clover field not leaf opens till after sun
rise. Those plants which seem to be
awake all night have been called the "bats
and owls OF the vegetable kingdom. p

Union: A gentleman of Boston, had SON

his settlement over oaeof the city churches.
He was feeble preacher, and the congre-
ing was called for . % change. The parish
voted BY pews. and there was one majority
for retaining tho pastor. Upon inquiry it
was ascertsined that the thrifty father-in-
law had bought up all the cheap. pews in

secured majority Of votes. A committee

Upon appearing for confirmation, and se;

some excellent advice, and ordered him

there is . construction caucus connected
with every Republican State convention in
Massachusetts. It meets at the principal
hotel in Worcester (the Bay State House in
former years. the evening before the con-
ven.ion assemblies. 1t provides for tenn
porary chairman, a president, committees,
ard designates the men who at particular
fixed times shall rise in the convention the
next day and make motions. These men
chiefly consist Of delegates to the conven-
tion or their friends who figured over the
State for weeks previous, at the primary
meetings, for the election Of these officers.
A party is selected in the caucus to move in
the convention that the nomination be made
by acclamation. And thus BENJAMIN F.
Butler, for instance, will be nominated for
Governor, etc. Another party is assigned
to second the notion" and the committee
on enthusiasm, stationed cautiously through
the convention, makes the hall ring with
their shouts for the candidate named.
1t is true, as was remarked in this city
three days since by Ex-Governor Boutwell,,
that the present expression of the press of
Massachusetts, do not reflect the real
strength OF General Butler in the State.
Most Of the country papers in the State,
whose editors we're formerly members of
the old Wing party, as was Bowles, of the
Springfield Repwbliean, have never got over
their feelings of hate for Butler, who, 10
them, is to-day '1ocofoco, !" as they for
