BRET IIARTE.
How the Author OF 1.-THE Luck OF
Roaring Camp" Obtained a
Bunk on n Steamer.

Cincinnati EDquirer.l
Mr.. Dubois, our consul at AK Ia
Chapelle, who has just returned to
Europe after a very agreeable visit, is
to be credited with the following story
about Bret Harta, which Mr.. Dubois
told in his I'VE inimitable way at a
New York dinner table the other
night: In speaking OF compliments
one day, Bret Harte said he would
give the history Of the greatest com
pliment which he himself had ever
received since he had attained any dis
tInction as an author. One time, when
he had occasion 10 take the
trip from San Francisco TO
Oregon, he reached the boat
just as it was about to move OF, and
without having made any previous ap.
plicati0n for stateroom aceommoda-
lions Oh board. Fortunate in being
assured Of his destination at last,
which it was necessary he should gain
without detention on a required day,
he proceeded Immediately to the tick
ct office on the boat, and Inquired of
the agent there if he could obtain a
berth for tho night. The agent on
this occasion, was a rather curt, grutf
fellow, who made it bis special pride
to give all information to anxious aud
inquiring passengers in about as disa-
greeable manner as men IN his
position can very well assume
under such circumstances
There's nc staterOOms for any one
all sold" said this Ueberus.
Il must have one" returned the
author of the Luck Of Roaring Camp
perhaps that may assist me ia OBJ
tanning what | want and he handed
the agent his visiting card.
There is no berth here for Bret
Harte, or any other man." was the
rough answer, and the card ives hand
ed back.
BE you the mar as writ The Luck
Of Roaring Camp?' Be you Bret
Harte p exclaimed a voice behind
the writer of that celebrated story.
Bret Harte turned and perceived a
tough. looking miner, with pistols
peeping out Of his belt awaiting his
reply.
Il have the honor Of having written
it. said he, politely.
The miner took the card from
Harte, looked at it a moment, crum-
bled it up, and then, suddenly ex-
tending his hand, said with gusto;
Give it ter me, yer son OF a gun,
referring, of course, to Harte's own
hand, Il have 4 stateroOm with two
hunks in it; you shall have one, and
III shoot the nan who's in the other
il you say so, so that We may have the
room to ourselves"

CARLYLE AT REST.
Buried in the ChurChyard Of His
Native ECCIefeChan.
Literary Friends and Relatives In thu
Simple Procession.

LONDON, February l0.-Carlyle's
remains we're inferred in the family
burial ground of st. Fechan's church
yard, in the peaceful hamlet OF Eccle-
iechau, where he first saw the light.
1t was at n time hoped that the
ashes Of the great Scotsman might be
fttingly deposited in Westminster
Abbey, and when. it was known that
this honor was declined by his friends
in unison with his own earnest wishes,
it was expected that he would be laid
beside bis wife in the ruined aisle Of
H~addington cathedral. 1t was, how
ever, Oarlyle's wish to repOso among
his kinsfolk and be buried with as
little pnmp and circumstance as pos
sible. Both the hour and the place
of interment were consequently I'M
known till a short time before the
funeral. The remains left London with
the express train on Wednesday night
and reached Carlisle at FIVE on Thurs
day, where, after a few hours, they
were forwarded to Ecclefeohen. The
funeral cortege left the station for the
churchyard at noon. The mourners
were James Carlyle, ST.. the brother Of
Thomas; James Carlyle, jr., the nephew
of the deceased; John Carlyle, his
nephew; Austin Carlyle, his nephew;
Robert Carlyle, his cousin; MIR. Ait
kin, his brother in law; DR.. Alexan-
der Carlyle, Alexander Welsh, cousin
Of the late Mrs. Carlyle; Captain
Henry 4 Watt, of Liverpool; Profess
sor Tindall, Mr.. FrOude, the histori-
an; Professor Leckie, and other rela-
tives ofthe deceased. A few Of the
principal gentlemen of the locality
we're also present. During the
hours previous to tho interment
the school and other bells pealed
muffled tones. The progress of the
cortege was watched by large numbers
of the inhabitants Of the district.
The landscape was cold and snowy.
Before the grave was reached rain be.
gan TO fall, hut CLEANS OF sunshine
rested on the group about the grave
ere the coffin was lowered. The grave
is situated in the northwest corner OF
the ancient burying place. Some ten
years ago the ground was bought by
Mr. C%arlyle's directions Ii is en-
closed by a neat wall and surmounted
by iron ratings. On the north side
lie the remains of several relatives of
the deceased. On the south sire bur.
led his fathers two wives. Dumfries-
shire will in future attract eve a
greater thrOng of pilgrims, for, besides
the tomb of Burns, she will have the
grave Of her greatest son, Thomas
Carlyle.

There is wild excitement in Rich

a Dead Beat Directory, which threat
ens to eliminate in violence. Il
appears that a few Of tho business men
collected the names Of all persons in
the commun ty who were reported as
having failed, neglected or refused to
pay bills they had contracted. The
names we're published in a pamphlet,
which was entitled the Dead-Bea
Directory. The appearance Of the
pamphlet raised g perfect storm, as it
contained nearly three thousand
names. among which we're some Of the
good citizens, together with the names
of honored men who. were ia their
graves. An indignation meeting was
attended by about one Thousand peo-
pie, and speeches denouncing the sc-
tion Of the business men were deliv-
cred By leading men, among Others the
mayor Of the city.

Correspondence PoSLIc LEDcER.l
CHICAGO, February ?, 1881.
To account for my recent long 81.
leuce, l will merely state that an acct
dent was the cause. While out driv-
ing | was thrown from the vehicle and
nearly turned into an angel. Ny left
shoulder was pretty badly shook up.
and my general anatomy received like
attention. However, | am nearly o.
K. again, and seek this first favorable
opportunity to let the LEDoER hear
from me.
At present Chioagoans are iBeensed
at the clerk of the weather for his
abominable regulation of things. The
recent wind storm played sad havoc
with things generally, and the rain
that followed and is still pouring down
completely demoralizsd everything
and everybody. The streets are full
of slush, and the roads nearly impassa-
bic; and ifthe outraged populace oc-
easioaslly wish tho waters we're
damned. they cannot be accused OF
profanity. 1.-THE clerk Of the aqueous
element does not damn the waters, he
will certainly be id himself. This
is my religious opinion.
Irish indignation is the next in or
der. 1t is up to white heat because
ofthe arrest of Davitt, and if all the
anathemas daily heaped upon England
we're collected into one heap. the bulk
would be so mountainous and heavy as
TO entirely sink out Of existence all
its English enemies Of ireland; and il
is keeping within the pale OF facts tc
say that this sentiment is equllly
strong with most all the citizens OF
this great western metropolis. Meet
ings are beingnightly held, and money
aud sympathy sent to help the cause
OF the land %leaguers. In a few days q
