MR.FROUDE AND MR.. CARLYLES
PAPERS

Ten years ago Mr.. Carlyle placed in
my hands collection Of his wife's letters,
with directions to publish them, if /
should think fit, after he was gone It
was his wish at that time that no bio
graphy of himself should be written or
attempted to be written; his life was in
his work; his private history, he said,
was his own,-a thing with which the
world had no concern; nor did he think
that | or any one was likely to give
true version of it. On subsequent re-
Election, however, he considered that
life or lives Of him would certainly ap-
pear from some hand or other, and since
it must be so, he made over to me all his
correspondence, his journals, private
papers, and unfinished manuscripts, with
permission to use them. or destroy them,
as | might think fit. The materials thus
luminous, several thousand letters among
them; his own letters to members OF his
family, and letters from the most emf
nent of his contemporaries to himself
Besides these were "reminiscences" Of
his father and mother, of Edward Irving,
of Lord jeffrey with whom in early life
he had been extremely intimate, and the
materials for memoir of Mrs Carlyle,
intended to form an introduction to the
letter of hers which he prepared for pub
hcation. These "reminiscences" appear
ed to me to be far too valuable to be brok-
en- up for purposes Of biography. [ there
fore told Mr.. Carlyle that thought that
before anything else was done they
ought to be published as they stood. He
assented, and eighteen months ago [
proposed to him that they should be print
ed while he was still alive, that he might
himself revise them. For a time he
thought that this might be possible, but
he found that it would agitate and ex-
cite him. He left me, therefore, to fol-
low my own Judgment, and to bring
them out myself, if [ thought proper,
after his death.
These sketches will appear in a few
weeks.-sketches Of his father, James

self directed in strong terms that it was
not to appear without careful examination
and revision. [ have, therefore, used my
discretion in making large omissions.
The mass of matter remaining on my
hands is so extensive that have not yet
decided in what way to deal with it. Mr..
Cariyle's own letters are so uniformly adj
nirahln that rOnn Of them ou0ht to he

ters to him from Goethe, Mill, Jeffrey,
Sterling, Emerson, Leigh Hunt, Dickens,
Thackeray, Varnhaggen Won Ense, and

ink, it is said, should least be spared over
the biography Of remarkable man. I
must try to discover the fit limit between
the too much and the too little.

A QUEER SPECIMEN.

ST. LoUs, Feb. 27.-Mr. w. G. Renf-
rev, of Russell, Ark, and Capt. w. J.
Patton, of Little Rock, arrived in this
city to-day on their way to Washington
d. G. The object Of their visit to Wash
ington is so exhibit to the officers of the
Smithsonian Institute the "Eureke Baby
a specimen of archaeology found on the
LIST Of last October at Eureka Spring, Ark.
The baby was found about four feet be-
low the surface on the lot of John B.
Holbron, a resident of the town, and it
was discovered by a laborer named +. Ill.
Campbell while he was digging well.
The baby had a coating Of composition
about as light as pumice-stone, but this
covering, varying in thickness from half
an inch to an inch and a half, has since
been removed from the entire head and
shoulders and the right side Of the body,
showing one leg complete. The baby is
two feet and two inches long, and weighs
with the composition coating, eighty-five
pounds The head and limbs exposed
are said to be rightly proportioned. The
cheeks are pufed out and the legs and
arms are plump. ihe general color Of
the baby is a bluish-brown, varying in
lightness The baby looks very much
like a Hindoo idol. Mr.. Renfrew the
present owner of the baby, has found
good many people who believe it to be
petrifed human being, but it is hardly
necessary to say that this opinion is not
held by a scientist. The body is evident
ly work of art, and the first important
question to be determined in connection
with it is in regard to the time it was de-
posted at the place where it was found
by the well-digger, Campbell Whether
it was placed there by a prehistoric race
a representative of the present race, the
people of the Smithsonian Institute will
be called upon to decide Chicago Tri-
bane.

and burned the pieces. He narrated the
horrible details of his crime in the most
off hand and careless manner, and does
not seem to feel the slightest remorse. He
narrowly escaped lynching at the hands
of crowd of some 500 citizens, and was
brought to Augusta for safe-keeping.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

NEW YORK, March "A terrible
maxine catastrophe took place off Coney
Island to-day. The italian bark Aiace,
in ballast from Antwerp to New York
with partial cargo of kerosene barrels,
became water-logged last night off Rock
away beach. The crew numbered fifteen
men, including the captain. When it
became evident the bark could not be
saved a panic took place among the crew.
Captain Morice tried his best to keep the
men under discipline, but was unable.
Heavy seas broke over the vessel, wash
ing the men one by one from the wreck.
Four of the men, in despair, against the
earnest expostulations of the Captain,
committed suicide by cutting their throats
and their boGies were washed overheard.
The remainder of the crew, with the ex-
ception of one man who alone remains to
tell the dreadful tale, becoming gradual
ly exhausted, washed overheard, and
were lost. The bark first struck Rock
away shoals. The wreck gradually
broke up, and the poop-deck, cabinhouse
and one mast ware first seen this morn
ing about 4 clock off Manhattan beach,
distance of two and one-half miles. The
life-station crew went to the wreck and
rescued the only survivor. He could
speak English very imperfectly. He gave
his name as Peter Sollace, and told the
story of the disaster. The poop-deck
came ashore about 100 yards east of
Engman's pavilion. The sea in front
of Coney Island is covered with kerosene
barrels and parts of the wreck.

at bay, died Of his wounds at Denver,
Colo, few days ago. It never happens
that way in dime novel Of Indian war

Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, whose lectures
on temperance have attracted a great
deal Of notice in Boston, is 40 years of
age. She began to read law after she
was married, because her husband did,
and was in his Office great deal from
love of and interest in his business be-
cause it was his. But at last she grew
to love it for its sake, obtained admission
to the bar, and the husband and wife
formed a business copartnership, Iowa
statues allowing married women this
power. The success which has attended
her Mrs. Foster very modestly attributes
principally to the fine position which
Mr.. Foster held at the bar, which made
her path smooth; and secondly, to the
fact that her public speaking on temper
ance and other philanthropic questions
has attracted attention to her.

HOW IT FEELS TO FREEZE.

The Bradford Era gives an interesting
account on farmers sensations of freez-
ing, while overtaken by an intense cold
in driving from Cattaraugus county to
Duke Centre. Losing consciousness, and
the reins falling from his hands, the
horses plodded on until coming to a farm
house along the road they turned in to-
ward the barn where the driver was dis
covered crouched in a heap. Thorough
rubbing with snow and a few doses of
liquor restored him to his normal condi-
ton, when he gave an account of his SEN
sations. When he felt no longer able
to hold the reigns with any grip he de-
termined to seek shelter in the first house
until well warmed. His tongue became
stiff, then his arms; sharp chills ran
down his back and finally it seemed as
though his whole body was being CONCEAL
ed, causing an almost total cessation of
the hearts action. This condition of ex-
treme suffering and dependency speedily
gave place to a feeling.of grateful warmth,
suffusing the system and causing an ex-
hilerating glow. By this time he had
reached house, but drove on, thinking
that nothing was 10 be feared. The
sleigh, instead Of crawling along at a
snail's pace, appeared to glide through
the air with great swiftness and the
horses fairly few. A sense of exultion
filled his breast as he urged the horses to
still greater speed and the woods on either
side were passed so quickly that they be-
came indistinguishable black lines. Then
the sleigh-bells sounded fainter and faint
er until the chimes disappeared in the
distance, the farmer fell gradually into
delicious slumber, which came near being
the sleep that knows no waking, and he
knew no more until brought back to life
under the vigorous treatment Of his res

A HORSE GETTING EVEN WITH CAT
"A horse at Faribault, Mimi, turned
loose in his masters dooryard, saw a
basket hanging ON pole about seven
feet from the ground. 1t contained a
pet cat. The horse walked to the basket,
put his nose up to investigate it, and the
cat gave the intruding nose a lively
scratch. The horse turned around, look
ed back over his shoulder as though to take
aim and measure the distance, kicked, and
cat, basket, and all shot into the air like
a rocket. The horse watched the success
of the shot, then gave low whinny of
delight, and walked away.

valleys, the plants are usually set in the
low lands bordering . river Or the small
streams which flow from the mountains
in the interior to the ocean. The soil Of
most of these tobacco farms, or vegas, is
red clay, somewhat moist, aud made
rich by repeated manuring. On the hill
sides the soil is sandy, and does NO: pro-
duce SO fine leaf At first our growers
used only imported seed, but the leaf was
small and thick and of somewhat bitter
flavor, whi!e some difficulty arose in sweat
ing it.
Now, either hybrid sorts are sown or
else seed is planted from the second to the
ninth years growth. One fourth more
seed leaf can be sown to an acre than of
Spanish, but as larger price is obtained,
its culture is quite as profitable. About
1000 more plants can he grown to the
acre, but it natures sooner, cures down
earlier, and is less liable to pole rot and
sweat. Rich soil is required and constant
culture is necessary in order to secure =
good leaf. Artificial manures are not as
good as animal manures, that Of the horse
being the best.
Next season q very large area will be
planted in the five seed leaf states which
grow this variety. In Ohio where its
cultivation has only just begun, a large
quantity will be planted, while in the
Connecticut Valley and Housatonic Valley
the amount cultivated will be largely
III excess of any previous year. The cul-
tivation of this renowned tropical variety
of tobacco, if it continues to be success
full, will open up large export trade in
all the foreign markets.
