EFFECTS OF AMMONIA ON

A writer in the Medical Journal,

after the third week-he has had one
ounce of the strongest liquid ammonia
put into gallon of water in an open
pan, and the steam kept up by means
Of half a brick made red hot through
out, and put into the boiling water
containing the ammonia. the pan be-
ing placed in the middle Of room,
into which the patients were brought
as the ammonia steam was passing
off. The method, he says, was usec
in the evening, before bedtime. and i
proved so eficacious in abating tn,
spasmodic attack. and after three O.

tan atmosphere is not favorable for

such as '.Harper's." "Scribner's, y
"Appleton's," the s'Century Club

many to mention, where literary
people and artists gather, each one Of
which would suffice for soocalled
school in any other city than New
York. The influence of one or two
great newspapers within the last few
years has gothered around them large
groups Of professional authority ami
wonderfully stimulated activity in
literature.
Reporter should like Mr.. Sted-
man, your opinions of some of your
fellow hterutasrs, Bret Harte, for
instance, who have gone to New
York for a residence or market
Mr.. Stedman-For many reasons
Ifeel averse to an expression of them;
but Bret Harte is a man of beautiful
genius. who deserves the wide reputa-
ton he has got. / do not consider
his poetry any great addition to
literature, and hardly think he does
himself. His comic verse is better
than his sentimental. The ''Stanis-
Iaus" poem els without an equal in its
way. "Jim" is perfect idyl, but IN
prose Bret Harte can do anything
he has mind to, and the only guess
ton is whether he will snake an
effort"
Reporter--With~ what great writ
Ter can his literary career be compar-
ed?
Mr.. Stedman--Now think OF it,
it seems to me it has been curiously
like Thackeray's up to his present
age. He has wrlt:n famous dialec t
poems, and the most exquisite short
prose character sketches produced in
this country. The question now is.
whether he can write his Vanity
Fair?" believe he can, and hope
he will. just now he is suffering
from social caprice sure to follow
great popularity. Society has dined
and wined and driven HIM day after
day, and after completely taking up
his time. is abusing him for not hav-
ing produced sustained work.
Reporter-Ptay tell me something
Of John Hay, who was formerly a
resident of our city.
Mr.. Stedman-I am perfectly will
ing to talk to you about Colonel Hay.
for admire him greatly. He has
taken very high professional rank.
and, if [ am not mistaken, the public
ere long will appreciate his larger
work as thoroughly as it has enjoyed
his dialect poems and lighter metric
al recreations. His serious verse
proves Linn to be a genuine and most
artistic poet, and there is no more
accomplished and versatile prose
writer in this country The amount
of thoughtful, finished editorial writ
ing which he performs in the course
Of every week is we'll known to his
professional associates. He has been
emarkably fort snstein hisexperience
and knowledge of the world duringI
his official career at home and abroad,
and after touching life at all points,
has now settled down in the flower
of manhood, to his true calling =
that of an author and journslist. We,
all expect great things of John Hay.
The fine thing about him is that he
has convictions, and acts up to them
in whatever he writes or does.
