people of wealth can afford to supply their Ii
brary needs by purchase unless books are
cheap. Now, it so happens that while cheap
books are an advantage to readers, and may
be profitable by large aggregates of sales to
publishers, they are to the disadvantage OF
authors, rendering just compensation for lit
erary work almost impossible" Ten thou
sand copies of $1.75 novel is a decided hit;
at the usual ten per cent. this gives the au-
thor 81, ,750 The writer even here gives a
rose-colored statement, for $1.75 is a high
price here, and good part Of the sales would
probably be of copies in paper, at 81 or less.
An author can scarcely write more than one
book year; though an author "well up on
the literary LADDER might run this income
up to $4,000 by doing good deal of maya
zine work. This is the income of second
rate man in other caings, and permits no
saving toward old age. Yet it was said that
George Eliot had made $4,000 from ''Daniel
Deronda" before it was quarters pub
lished-three times what Mrs. Stowe made
from "Uncle Toms Cabin" and Mr.. Ten
nyson's income, in contrast with Longfel-
lows, Is $4,000. International copywright,
says this writer, has little to do with Ameri-
can returns, since most English authors are
now paid royalty; the difficulty is in the
prices. 'In view of this fact, we are not
wise to brag of our disposition to 'own our
books;;' the creates, reading public in the
world ought in the interest ofliterature either
to buy more books or pay larger prices for
them; otherwise, if body of writers is to be
maintained it may be necessary to establish
the English library system here.'

WHEN the theolOgian takes I'D politics

WHEN the theolOgian takes up politics he
usually lays the stripes on evenly regardless
of party lines. The Rev. DR.. Marvin r. Vim
cent says he sees in the present political con-
test some discouraging aspects, but one fea-
ture makes him joyfal. He sees the moral
and Christian sentiment of the nation loom
Ing up in politics Men whose stamp is set
on the religious culture of the people have
come for the first time and made their infu-
ence felt. He would have US turn for safety
not TO men or parties, but to that old-fash-
ioned piece of political philosophy uttered by
David: "He that ruleth over men must be
just, ruling in the fear of Cod" ''Good and
true men first," he says, "not party men
first, otherwise it will be as in the parable of
the trees, which went out to annoint king
over them. The vine would not leave his
good cheer to run up and down for the other
trees; the fig-tree held by his sweetness; the
olive preferred his oil to the troubles of
Office, and so the bramble came to the throne.
The bramble, which had neither cheer nor
sweetness nor nourishment, but only the fire
which went out of his thorny dryness and
blasted the forest"

How Young Men Are SOured.

1t occasionally happens, says the New York
World, that woman with her husband or her
lover comes into a crowded street car and
young man whose chivalric feelings have not
been utterly destroyed by constant contact with
the busy world, rises and surrenders his seat to
the lady He takes hold of one of the straps
hanging from the roof of the,car for the con.
venience of passengers to whom all other con-
yeniences of travel are denied, and stands pa
tiently in the aisle with the glow of conscious
well.doing on his ingenious cOuntenance. He
feels that he has done an act of kindness to
damsel in distress; that he has paid due hon.
age to the genter sex; that he has acquitted
himself courteously towards a stranger. He
can therefore, bear with content the elbowing
of the conductor as he pushes in and out, and
tramping of fellow-passepgers upon his toes.
The meek satisfaction of self-sacrIhce exalts
him. Let such ore enjoy the illusions of his
youth while he may, for few moments will
see his reverence for womanhood dssipated
and hard, distrustful cynicism take its place
Invariably after his act of courtesy comes a
sequel of selfshness, as if in bitter mockery.
One of the passengers sitting beside the lady
rises to go out. She slides hastily along so as
to make room for her escort lover or
husband, as the case may be, and that gem
tleman glides quickly into the seat, leaving
the courteous young stranger still hanging to
the strap from the roof, and abiding the buffets
of the conductor. To him the little drama is a
revelation. He sees at once the meanness of
humanity. The holowness of the world and
| the sawdust stuffng in his doll are painfully
manifest. He feels toward the man or woman
| who have disenchanted him as Sir Pelleas did
| toward Gawain and Etarre when he laid his
| naked sword across their breasts. They have
| destroyed ;his faith in his kind. He who has
| been cheated out of his seat by the woman to
| whom he has surrendered his own has touched
| the bottom of all meanness and disgust, and
may 90 through life confident that he will
never again experience such a sensation ol
| cheapness and weakness as he did when ht
| saw the couple to whom he had been so courte
Gus complacently settle close to each other ant
| smile in blissful forgetfulness of his existence
| Even the fiends arch mock would be bearab
| to the victim of such misery.

The Situation.

While it is not expected by those who are
familiar with the sanguine temperament of
Democrats that they will at once concede the
election of Hayes, it is evident that they are
daily weakening in their claims, and "letting
themselves down easy" They now concede
the success of the Republican electoral ticket
in South Carolina, though they still cling to
the hope that Hampton is chosen Governor.
In Florida their own canvass shows that they
are beaten. They fall back upon Louisiana
as their last hope, and apparently think they
may carry that state by the aid of the ''bull-
dozed' parishes. (The adjective, by the
way, is as barbarous as the method which it
describes.) But the Republicans are conf
dent that they have majority in Louisiana,
and they calmly await the action of the re-
turning board.

SETH KINMAN of San Francisco, hunter,
trapper, and Presidential chairmaker, has
finished the job and is waiting for tidings
from the doubtful states before calling in an
expressman. In 1855 he presented Mr..
Buchanan with chair made Of elk horns and
hoofs; in 1864 he sent Mr.. Lincoln one just
like it; and Mr.. johnson was favored with a
chair made of grizzly skins and claws. The
Presidential chair of 1876 is like Mr.. John
sons, but underneath the seat there is a
ferocious looking head which is thrown for
ward by means of a spring, The jaws of the
grizzly snap viciously, and then the head re-
turns to it's place of concealment.
