From the New Yortz SUM-
Hartford, December 26.-Although
aware that ever since his speech at the
Grant reception Mr.. Clemens has been
suffering from melancholia, did not
know until this morning what form the
attack had taken. i met Mr.. =,
common friend of mine and Clemens,
in front of the Postoffice. 'fHave you
been up to Twain's lately." he asked.
"No." said l. SIS anything the matter"
"Well, you had better 90 up and see,
he replied, with significant motion OF
his right forefnger.
So | proceeded through the damp,
chilly air and slushy mud of Christmas
morning to Twain's bright red mansion
and rang the door-bell. Was Mr.. Glenn
ems at home? No, not exactly. That
was to say, he wasen't in the house; l
might find him yonder in the north
yard, behind the barn. l turned up
the bottoms of my trousers, and trudg-
ed through the mud and snow to the
place indicated by the domestic. There
i discovered the humorist, standing on
an empty dry goods box. His posture
was very erect. His arms were tightly
pressed against his sides. He wore a
long ulster, reaching to his ankles, on
his head a high peaked hat, procured
during his travels in the Tyrol His
face was solemn.
"Hello, Mark" said |, "what are

tones, "that ! antedate the Christian

"Come, come" said /, ''no joking.
Get down off the box and go in where
it's warm"
'Tf you refer to the pedestal, " he re-
piled, II can't get down unless I'm low
cred. And as to the temperature, it
has little effect on monohth, seasoned

"You look like monolith, / admit
ted, sin that ulster and that hat.
"You really think so?" he eagerly
asked. His features relaxed to an ex-
preston something like complacency,
and he sat down upon the edge of the
box and began to drum against the side
with his heels. ''You really believe
I'm the genuine, only original obelisk?"
''Obelsk!" said /. Il saw the obe-
lisk day before yesterday in New York.
They've got it as far as the trestlework.
You're humorist, not an obelisk.
Mark Twain Immediately ascended
the box again, while his features once
more assumed their stony look. "You
have been imposed upon" he remarked
with great dignity. That thing in
New York is bogus. 1t is Cardiff

Slowed safe among some other treasures,
And there it lay for many day,
Forgotten quite mid passing pleasures.

Twas feared his grief his heart would sever
Still duty must be done at last,
In spite of death. in spite of sorrow.

To find the will to prove tomorrow.
He found it meath lump of cake

The will was therefor dear Wills sake
But, gone the signature past finding.

Had eaten what lay underneath it;
The ink absorbed and left sweet
Sad trace upon the words "bequeath it. "

Was but hole inst tinged with yellow;
Will did not think Fate had been kind;
Tom quietly smiled, the lucky fellow.
