The Boston Herald has been, examin-1
ing the history Of distinguished writer's,
and finds that very few authors have not
experienced the pain that attends the
rejection Of manuscript. Even Thacke-
ray and Thomas Carlyle have known the
effect Of "returned with thanks" "The
YelIowplush Papers" Of the former
were ameng the most brilliant and popu-
ar essays in Fuser's Magazine; but,
when Thackaray once sent an essay IN
the style of "The Yellowplush Papers
to the Edinburgh Revie,o, it was so cut
and muhlated by the editor that even
the consolation Of a respectable check
was not enough to sweeten the painful
memory of that magazine. tl,

returned with thanks by oil, man.

the idea Of passing them off for transla-.
tons from the Spanish OF once-famous
actress, Clara Gazui, n bait which was
ut oncetswaItowed by y publisher inter
ested IN tho romantic school Of the day,
just coming into fashion, and this mys-
Itifcation helped the work to a great
success. Theophile Gautier and ,0c-
tave Feuillet had their first novels re-
iected by various journals, and the man
uscripts were probably never read; but
when, at last, they we're published, they
made great sensation. Alphonse
Da,ldet, whose various stories have
passed through fifty or sixty editions,
saw the, best and most attractive w4rk
he ever wrote, and in which I've hal re-
lated part Of the story Of his own hfe
and development, refused by sese1ai
Journals, although he already enjoyed
considerable reputation and an inEuen-
tial position as Secretary to the Due do
Morny; but the novel receivaj the
greatest recognition when, at iast. it
appeared. s -
Anthony Trollope furnishes another
example of late successes after many
disappointed expectations His literary
spurs were gained by work in the few
leisure hours left him by his position in
the postofice. Dickens was one who
had uncommon luck as an author, in
happy contrast to the almost tragic
struggles of Thackeray for recognition.
From the time his FIRST magazine article
was printed to the time when he laid
down his pen ON an unfinished page of
edwin Drood," his career was an un-
Interrupted series of triumphs.
john Lothrop Motley had to undergo
the humiliation OF receiving the manu-
script, of "The Rise of the Dutch Re-
public" back from the famous publish
er, john Murray, OF London, with thanks

lificulty in getting a publisher for his

consequence OF the Lurning of the first
manuscript by an ignorant servant girl.

it patiently, fully and fairly, and that re-

than that already referred to, and they de-
cline to reopen the case.

Mr.. ROUNDS informs the Senate that
the prosecution Of the business Of the Gov

has been for many years past in accord
with the Typographical and Book binders
Unions, is dependent upon the action OF
those organizations in so far that if on re-
fusal of the Public Printer to abide by any
or all of their rules and regulations a gem
eral strike Of workmen in the office was or
dered, it would make necessary the >toppage
of the Government printing until the office
could be supplied with non union workmen,
and, in the opinion Of the Government
Printer, to supply the Government office
with so large number Of skilled workmen,
necessary TO do so great an amount and so
high grade Of work, from among the num-
Der of non-union workmen would involve
serious loss OF time, and for such time nee
essarily lower standard of work would
be done.

eral millions of spurious bonds in circula-
ton without the knowledge of the depart
