The atlantic Monthly his sketch entitled ihree
Years Negro Minstrel" This published IN
Iuly. and six months later he sent "A Tour of
Europe for $751;" and received for the article more
than half as much as the whole trip
cost him. This was printed in July, aud

in search of the picturesque on the Mississippi He
was accompanied by Mr.. A. r. Waud and was re-
markably successful The first article of the
series appeared IN the issue for May CO. and the sue
ceeding ones were published almost cOnsecutively
until Nov. 25 when every principal city on the Mis-
slssippi had been described He also wrote brilliant
articles describing the Chicago fire. When Erey
Saturday ceased to be an illustrated paper Mr..
Keelers services could no longer be made available,
and he went again TO Europe. He resided five
months at Geneva partly engaged in reporting the
proceedings of the High Court of Arbitration, and
devoted theremainder of a year to travel. On bis
return he wrote again for The atlantic Monthly, and
engaged in general literary work. While in
California, Mr. Keeler wrote a novel, "GlOyerson
and his Silent Partner and more recently translated
George Sands Marquis de Wilmer" He had
notes prepared for another original work, which
would doubtless have excelled any of his previous
literary productions.

December on the steamer for Bataban6 whence he
intended TO proceed to Havana. He was missed
az Manzanillo. where the steamer called but his
baggage was still board. His disappearance gave
rise TO fears that he was drowned which later
adviccs prove unhappily to have been fully war

beside numerous other frieuds to mourn deeply his
,1ntimely death.
