The Novelist Hardy and America.

London Letter to the Philadelphia Press
Mr.. Thomas Hardy author OF "A Pair or Blue
Eyes, Far from the Madding Crowd" ETC.,
ETC., is native English novelist, whose works
have wider reading In our own land than his
own, and who would probably receive more
personal attention among us than he does in
England. When spoke to him OF his wide
fame and innumerabe readers across the Allan
tic found he knew all about 1t. and only wished
he had even very minute royalty from all the
American editions OF the novels. Ii | mistake

cent circulating periodicals reprints OF the west.
urged him to consider the glory OF a fame,
Which extended over pratrleS and WigWamS ana
log cabins, untarn1shed by the toucn of ucre;
but these modern authors are Intensely prac-
tical, and he said unblushingly, he preferred
shillings.
Mr. Hardy is a young man OF thirty-three or
th1rty-slX, who started life in an engineers
Office, but as Sir Walter Scott abandoned the
law so Hardy left surveying and conveyanctng
for something more genial. His plots and char
acters, however, often, by force OF association,
turn On engineering, where his early knowledge
comes well into play, He Is man of unassum-
ing manners, and extremely laborious and con-
scientious In working out the details of his
work. My attention was first directed to him

gentleman attempting to settle, with the aid OF
Knot OF friends, what was the wine or drink at
dinner OF well-to-do English merchant In the
sixteenth century. 1t was Hardy fOraging for a
new novel.
Mr.. Hardy writes specially of the life of the
middle and lower middle classes OF England.
drawing his scenes and characters mainly from
them. 1t is this fact which gives him his hold
on the general American public, who readily
recognize and appreciate the picturing Of life
that comes most nearly to their own. AS a
sympathetic painter OF English village and rural
life, he has few, If any, equals among contem
pOrary English nOvelistS.
In conversation, Mr.. Hardy expressed much
modest qualification at the popularity OF his
works in America, and he cherisheS strong

ears to perceive that the pronunciation OF Guilt

wonder how many still cling, like myself, to the
old pronunciation OF EITHER and neither, and
have not yet passed over to the ever-multiply-

of the first syllable into dlphthong, or agree
with the Poet Laurate In accounting cOntenlpla

the days OF Shakespeare is greater than can
be easily conceived. Were he to come to
life again among US, the English that we
speak would be almost as unntefligible to him
as an Australian argon, in spite OF the fact that
our vocabulary and grammar differ but slightly
from his. But familiar word sounds strangely
when its pronunciation is altered ever so little
and when the outward form Of a whole group OF
words is thus changed, the most Skilled philo!-
ogfSt would find himself at fault. Can anything
therefore, be more absurd than an endeavor TO
mumm1fy an extinct phrase OF pronunciation.
especially when the mummy shrOud was at its

become mere series Of arbitrary enigmas, an
disbursement of the wild gueSses and etylnol-

caprice OF ignorant printers. 1t is good for little

Is Mars Inhabited.

There is no other planet OF the solar sys-

an analogy TO the earth as Mars. The teles-
cope reveals to us the figures OF broad tracts OF

nights are fllumined by two Satellites which
present all the phenomena of our own moon.
and more frequently, owing to their greater
velocity. An atmosphere probably surrounds
this planet in fact, the existence OF air is in
disIensable to his other features. Hence the
inference that Mars is habitable globe ap-
pears very obvious and fair conclusion, and IL
would be Inconsistent to imagine that this
planet, provided apparently with all the re-
quis1te natural facilities to render life neces-
sary and desirable feature OF his surface, Is q
sphere OF desolatiOn, a mass OF inert matter,
which, though conforming to the laws OF gra-
vitattOn, Is otherwise serving no useful end, as
the abode and sustenance OF animate crear
lures. 1t is far more in accordance with an.
alOgy and rational speculation to conclude that
Mars is the centre OF life and activity, and that
his surface Is teeming with living beings.
