The Mysterious Author Of ..Butleage.,
Publishers Weellly.l


A popular novel by a southern writer pub
lished by Mr.. j. c. Derby was 'Rutledge,"
which made stir equaled by few novels to-
day This novel also met with rebuff when
it first came north, and was rejected by
Messrs. Harper. The story is a strange one,
the name of the heroine never being men
toned in it. An uncle of the author, Mr..
Weeks, brought the manuscript to Mr..
Derby, and said that the author did not wish
to be known. Mr.. Derby replied that he
never published book without knowing who
wrote it, and that he must decline the manu-
script on such terms. Mr. Weeks then of.
fered to publish it at his own expense if Mr..
Derby would put his imprint on it. This he
declined to do also. So meeting was ar
ranged, and Mr.. Derby met Miss Miriam
Coles The question of the day was: "Whc
is the author of Rutledgegn and everybody
was eager to hear the answer Mr.. Derby,

The cowboy raised his head,
And glancing at the tenderfoot
He turned to him and said:

Got to making things quite lively
In ball and cartridge way.
I banged around about me
And didn't count the Odds
I'd been soal1in' electricisty
Like fifty lightning rods
When suddenly the sheriff
And his gang came bounding down.
And the boys took to their cattle
And busted out O. town.

An 1njun's shape I-spied.
He held his hands out to me,
But didn't say q word;
And when 1 tried to hail him
He neither spoke nor stirred.
And then slipped in somehow
Between each sturdy arm,
And he let me down SO gentle
Without bit O. harm.
And I lay there quite contented
And slept until twas day,
And woke to find him watching
At my side the same old way.
So I climbed upon my nprights,
And word l couldn't say,
But looked the red man in the face
And then-I sneaked away.
We parted. But, as years pass by,
wonder more and more
If still that real good Injun stands

Examples Of Prodigious zEesnory.

A conductor must have a prodigious mu-
steal memory if ne can, as Herr Richter usu-
ally does, conduct such score by heart,
never forgetting to beckon to any instrument
at the very second wanted. I say pro-
digious musical memory, because the faculty
of remembering is by no meaus general,
but special one. One man may, as Richter
for instance, know number of scores by
heart, another may be able to keep an in
credible number of figures in his remem-
brance, and not be able to retain the smallest
musical motif. The Emperor Napoleon Ill,
who never forgot man he had once spoken
to, could SO little remember musical theme
that you might have played the same thing
twice over to him and given it two different

[Amos Kaeg in San Francisco Chronicle.
The little wooden images connected with
the clock and going through their perform
ance in Illustration af Biblical event, and,
allegorically, the fight of time, have really
given the Strasburg clock its reputation.
Every writer and observer has followed the
fashion set by the first one who wrote about
them-to whom, in all probability, they did
appear wonderfuI-and praises their evolu-
tions without stint So that when one hears
or thinks of the ''Strasburg clock" he has a
mental picture of splendid pageant OF aJ-
donations which are so skilIfully and deity
constructed, and whose every motion is 50
perfectly natural as to almost deceive even
the most observant.
But there is nothing very wonderful about
the outside Of the clock and one feels little
disappointed at the twelve or fifteen feet
high and eight or ten broad structure, its
front adorned with rather dim decorations
and cut up with various hooks, crannies,
pigaon-holes and galleries and with several
wooden figures five or six inches high stuck
around over it. At one side stands tower
surrnounted by the figure of a rooster

containing the weights which give motive
power to the whole mechanism. On the front
of the main edifce, some three or four feet
from the ground, are the dials which indicate

THE CORN CROP.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 5.-The special
report of the corn crop by Charles B.
Murray, editor of tho Cincinnati Price
Current, to be published tomorrow,
makes the outlook in the Western
States favorable for q gain of 75,O00,-
600 bushels over last year, but in the
South and elsewhere it will be about
an equal amount short, so that the
entire crop promises to be about the
same as last year. In many sections
of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa the
growth is backward, partly due to the
use Of seed from the West, which is
late in maturing. The estimates show
reduction of fifteen per cent. COM
pared with last year, and an increase
of five per cent. in Indiana, ten in Hi.
nois, fifteen in Iowa, five Missouri,
Thirty in Kansas and ten in Nebraska,
and decrease in every Southern State
of significance except Texas, which
will be fifteen to twenty per cent. over
last year.
AS far as we have been able to ascer-
tain this report is incorrect as to this
State The crop report of the Times
Democrat, made at great expense and
gotten direct from all sections Of the
State, show an increase of ut least
twenty per cent. But then, maybe,
Louisiana does not figure in corn circles
as State Of Significance.
