TURGENIEFF,
Some Account of Il Novelist who is Becoming
Famous.

Some Account ola Novelist who is Becoming
Famous.
The world hears now and then of a
fiction writer of Russia, whose fame at
home is of the highest character. The
Atlantic Monthly, for May, sketches
him thus
"Ivan Turgenieff was born in the
District Of Orel, in the center of Rus
STA, November 9th, 1918, and there he
passed his boyhood from 1884 to 1888
he studied at Moscow and st. Peters
burg. Then in his twentieth year he
went to Berlin, and at the university in
that city he studied, especially history
and philosophy for two years. Hegel's
philosophy, although it had lost Some
what of it's earlier glory, still had a
controlling influence in Germany at
that time, as indeed it had until 1846 /;
but on Turgenieff's mind it seems to
have made, or at any rate to have left
an unsatisfactory impression, for we
often find in his writings irreverent
mention of the German philosopher.
After returning to ST. Petersburg, he
for short time occupied position
under government in the Ministry Of
the Interior, but this he soon left in
order to devote himself to literature
He first tried his hand at poetry but
without success. We have never seen
a line of his verse, but if, as we are
told, it was written in the style Of
Pouschkine and Lermontoh, who were
themselves imitators of Byron,
it's failure need not be won
1oro1 LoJ;ni+co1, 11yhioh o,,r
readers will remember in his Recits
dun Chasseur, appeared in 1916. Soon
afterward he went to Paris, and there
he wrote the greater part of the Recits,
which appeared from time to time in a
Russian magazine. It was in 1852 that
they first appeared in book-form, after
eluding all the opposition from the CEN
sors of the press, who, according to
Mr.. Otto Glagau, did not detect the
hidden purpose which lay under what
seemed to be merely collection of pic
lures of Russian life-the purpose,
namely, Of portraying the sufferings
and degradation caused in that country
by the existence Of serfdom. After
wards, however, when they we're col
lected and published together, the
censors avenged themselves in the fol-
lowing way. They took for their pre-
text an article which Yurgenieff had
written on the death of Gogol in the
same year, and had him banished to his
estate for two years. Nothing but the
intercession of the Czarowitch, the
present Gar, freed him from this SEN
tence. After this time he lived in Rus
STA, France, and Germany until 1863,
when he choose Baden-Baden for his
home. In that pleasant little town,
which was the resort, at one time OF
another, of almost all the interesting
people of Europe, he has since for the
most part lived, having for neighbors
his friends Louis Viardot and his wife,
the celebrated Pauline Garcia Viardot.

A jersey Journalist Loses His All.

An ex-editor of Jersey City paper
tells the following story: GAS he ap-
preached the Grand Central Depot,
New York, he noticed two very pretty
and elegantly-dressed young ladies, who
came up and treated him as an old &C
quaintance, and he, thinking it was a
case of mistaken identity, thought he
would carry the thing through and
have some fun. They informed him
that they had procured section in the
drawing room car, and invited him to
take a seat therein. He did so, and
enjoyed very pleasant ride Of two
hours. On the arrival of the train at
Poughkeepsie, both the ladies put their
arms around his neck, and kissed him
good-by. He stepped in the dining
room and ate some lunch and returned
to the train, when, to his dismay and
alarm, he found he was minus his
pocket-boo containing two ten-cent
stamps and fve-cent piece"

Ponce de Icons Fountain of Life.

From sketch of Central Florida,
written by Mrs. E. b. Long, Of Flor
ida, and published in the Tallahassee
Floridian, we take the following
cit was en- route to Suwannee Old
Town that Gen. Jackson and his troops
halted beside the famous fountain OF
Ponce de Leon, now miscalled the Wa
kulla Spring. The line of march made
by the Spaniard confirms the suppose
ton that this was the spring sought by
the adventurer, and it's curious charac-
ter is quite sufficient to have given it a
distinct renown. What makes it mar
vel of nature is its great depth and ex-
ceeding Transparency transparency
greater than that of the atmosphere, as
evinced by seeing the smallest object at
near 200 feet below, and in passing over
it's unrippled surface in a floating skiff
the novel sensation of being suspended
between skies is produced.
The Ponce de Leon fountain, to be
seen to advantage, must be visited on a
still, sunshinny day, without breeze,
and with the sun as near the meridian
as possible. From beneath rugged,
