passed without delay prohibiting this in
competent department from designing or

Of steam machinery ior the navy.

their turn to appear In print; and they mus.
understand that, In this market, there Is an
overwhelming amount OF competition. Per-
haps nineteen out OF every twenty poems
that arc offered for sale fail 10 obtain u pur-
chaser on any terms; perhaps nineteen out
OF every twenty that are accepted bring only
a dollar or So TO their authors; and perhaps
not ono in every hundred that are published
secures for It's writer such remuneration rs
to make him feel that no has boon paid for
the time spent upon 1t. II will he secn,
therefore, that while there is large de-
lnand for poetry, and while that which is
sold will bring what tho buyer thinks IL
worth to him, II he be an honest man, yet
by far tho greater part OF the poetry sent to
market is pronounced worthless; another
large part OF 1t brings but beggar's wages ;
and only n very small proportion OF II gives
such compensation as TO make its compost
tion worth while, from O pecuniary point Of
view
III. Tho best place TO try TO sell original
poetry is at great publishing and periodical
establishments, like HAHpERs and APPLE
TONS, or ut tho offices OF weekly newspapers,
like Mr.. BoNNER's Ledger. But you can try
abduy vi Wfthly 1tWSlhDtf.
III. Our advice TO far-away young poet
anxious 10 get his works out, would DO that
which Is implied abovo-scnd them to ono OF
our publishers II he rejects them try an
other and so on, all around the numerous
publishers. II any publisher believes that
tho young poets works will sell, he will be
more than willing to publish them.
~. We would not advise a fir-a way poet 10
como here, trusting in his poetry. The or
penscs Of travel and Of hotels are heavy; tho
risks Of encouragement are many; and pub
fishers take their own timc to pass Judgment
upon manuscripts. Send your poetry
through the mail to the publisher you may
select.
The best wav for this Nebraska poet would
be to make a local reputation by publishing
his pieces in the Tccumseh papers before he
tries New York or Boston. II his poetry is
Of lofty order, or of novel kind. 1t will
attract attention far and widc even II
1t appear in the papers OF Tecumseh and his
name will become known all over the coun-
try, SO that Eastern publishers will vie with
each other IN the effort TO obtain tho pro-
auctions Of his pootical pen.

We have lately closed in the Sunday cdi-
ton Of The SUN one Of the most notable
series Of papers ever contributed to an
American journal They were remarkable
because they were the work OF prince
Of one Of the Oldest and proudest royal fam
lilies Of Europe, and also for their great in
trinslc interest.
We believe that IoUrs NAPOLEON uaed
sometimes TO write articles for his ncwspa-

may not always have been perfectly Just in
his views during his tour IN America
but hc was always fresh and sensible;
and his Judgment was always conceived

Doubtless we do suffer from the lack Of u

We Judge there are not less than seven
