Literary Notes from rae Century Co


The preliminary notes and studies for
HAWTHORNE posthamous novel, DIR. Grim
shawe's Secret" are in two different groups,
of very different character. One group, in
the possession of Mrs. Rose Hs wthorne
Lsthrop, and now appearing III the " Allan
tic Mosthly," seems to consist OF passages
written out in narrative and dialogue form.
Another group, of about equal length, con-
sists of notes only, and these have been
placed by Mr.. Julian Hawthorne in the
hands of the editor of THE CENTURY, and
selections from them will be published in
the January number of that magazine.
They are said 10 form a record of extraordi-
nary interest, being Il complete recitation
OF the artistic principl-s and methods OF
one of the subilest artists that ever lived
in fact, full and clear recipe for Ihe max
ing of Hawthorne romance.
HYDRAULIC MINING IN CALIFORNIA, -
IN illustrated article by Taliesin Evans, in
the forthcoming January CENTURY, is said
to be an excellent popular description of
the methods Of mining by water,-a form
of extracting ore which, while wonderfully
effective, has dcstro- I'd large percentage
of the farming lands i the river valleys q
California. The efforts now, making by the
Sufferers from this industry 70 put a legsl
end to it will give added interest to this pa
per on the Pacific slope.
The importance of Dean Stanley's work
to religious literature, and his position as 4
historian, will be discussed, in paper in
the January number of The CENTURY, by
Frederic w. II. Myers, who will be remem-
bered as the author Of the paper on George
Eliot in the same magazine.

According to German economist,
the income of the world is $l3,52O,-

$4,000, 900, 900; capital. $s5,6I2 OO0,-

$4,000, 900; France the largest, or
$2,14O,0 900, 900. The United States
has the largest income and England
the most capital. Italyis the heaviest
taxed, paying 35 per cent. of its in
come for taxes to the average of 10
per cent. of other nations. The Min
ing Journals lightning calculator does
not agree with these figures, but as ne
attributes the error to the negligence
of the German economist in credlt'ng
the Constock assessments as income
to the bonanza manipulators-we
hardly think it worth the while to get
into an argument over a few petty

General" is introduced you may know
that be is willing to take several
drinks. Captain" is less fortunate;
you only owe him a nickel cigar. A
characteristic of Western people is
their forgetalness of proper names.
In this city hundreds of people who
associate together daily only know
each other by titles. Yesterday gen.
tleman approached group of "stand-

began to receive congratulations.
"Why. Colonel" he said, to one
man, shaking bis hand heartily, II am

First rate, Colonel am delight

Bill Nye's Advice to Young Men.

Young man, what are you living
for? Have You an object dear to you
as life, and without the attainment OF
which you feel that your life will have
been wide, shoreless waste of slad.
ow, peopled by the specters Of dead
ambitions? You can take your choice
in the great battle Of life, whether you
will bristle up and win deathless
name and owe almost everybody, or
be satisfied with scabs and mediocrity.
Many Of those who now stand at the
head of the nation as statesmen and
logcians we're only unknown, union
ored and unsuDg. Now they saw the
air in the halls of Congress, and their
names are plastered on the temple of
fame.
You can win some laurels, too, if
you will brace up and secure them
when they are ripe. Daniel Webster
and President Garfield and DR.. Tanner
and George Elliott were all, at one
time, p' or boys. They had to start at
the foot of the ladder and toll upward.
They struggled against poverty and
public opinion bravely on until they
won name in the annals of history.
and secured to their loved ones pala-
tial homes, with lightning rods and
mortgages on them. So may you, if
you will make the effort. All these
things are within yonr reach. Live
temperately, on 50 month. That's
the way We got our start. Burn the
midnight oil, if necessary. Get some
true, noble-minded young lady to as
slst you. Tell her of your troubles,
and she will tell you what to do. She
will gladly advise you. Then you can
marry her, and she will advise YOU
some more. After that she will Law
down her work anytime to advise you.
You needn't be out of advice at all
unless you want to. She, too, will
tell you when you have made a mis-
take. She will come to you frankly
and acknowledge that you have made
a Jackass of yourself. As she gets
more acquainted with you she will be
more candid with you, and in her un-
studied, girlish waa, she will point out
your errors, and gradually convince
|you' with an old chair leg and other
arguments, that you were wrong, and
your past life will come up before you
|'ke panorama, and you will tell her
30, and she will let you up again.
Lille is indeed mighty struggle. 1t
IS business. We can't all be editors,
ana lounge around all the time and
wear good clothes and have our names

Small POX-HOrrible Scenein Jer.
sey City.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 20.-John Will
liams, shoemaker, died last week
of smallpox, leaving a wife and
five children. The neighbors were
afraid of the disease, and when dep
uty Inspector Sullivan came to
fumigate the house, insisted the
bed, the only one in the rooms,
should be burned. This morning a
Deputy Health Inspector visited
the place and found the mother ly-
ing in a heap of rags and carpets,
and covered with pustules Of small
pox. On her right was the dead
body of her little girl, and on her
left that of her little boy. In the
corner of the room was sitting little
fellow, on whose face was the shad-
ow of death, while budding close
to the cold stove were the two re-
naming children. The survivors
were taken to the pest house and
the dead buried at the expense of
the county.
SUGGEsTIoN.-Fifty cents prop
erly spent in vaccination would
have saved the family from all this
suffering, horror and death.
