AUTHORS TRIALS.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

There Is one trial which touches the hnes, sensihsiities of an author. The reader who has adopted hum as his favor- lie. CT his ohlec, et admiration, has formed an idea of his person. hls expres. sion. his voice, his manner. How rarely does any author correspond ,o this ideal picture,
 Now. as to all these troubles ot author ship there are two ways of dealing with them. An author has perfect ugh, 10 say: "l am 10, on exhibition, Ike the iat boy or the douhle-headcd lady. ifi were. l should charge the usual pticc of admission te the show It Is no, my pto- tessioa to wr,tc let;eis Ia strangers who consult me on all manner oi questions, involving then pnva,e interests. These people have no nght to appropriate my hours oi labor. and will have my 1ghts, even If am an author"
 This Is one way al lookln al inc queS. tion, and ain hy no means saIc that. hard and almaS, ehutliSh aS u seem |, is not. en the whole. the wtsesi tet all con. ccrned. Sooner ot later the hurdcn et correspondence becomes so heavy as to be tnsuppor,able. unless some short and

CLAY'S CANE.
Anecdotes and Stories of the Brave
 Days of Old.
Courier Journal.

sAe4Ettt ts-44sl4i
 Major Kinney has a historical cane in his possession. l. IS cane of the olden time. and its soldiiy and general air of staid responsibility would at once indi- cate that it did not belong to this age of tinsel and sham l, IS made of Osase orange. carved round abou, with two great ridges. winding around il like d snake. The top of the cane Is gold plate on which IS inscribed: "Presen,ed to Willis Green. by Henry Clay"
 What flood of anecdote and remin- iscence tha, this cane brings up The great contests between the Wings and the Democrats. the palmy days of the south. the days of oratoy and dueling. when a mans honor was dearer to him than life and politics was religion. and the great political leaders were worshiped as gods.
 No man can tell an anecdote better than Major Kinney. and as he fondled the cane in his office the other evening and told of the ludierous incidents it brought to mind he kept the crowd in I roar for an hour l, IS not so much that the cane was present from the Great Commoner that i, is interesting II Is because of is memories. Willis Green vas Henry Chy's bosom friend. He probably knew more of the Great Commoners secret thoughts and wishes than any man that ever lived.
 "Of all the men who ever fought by my side and followed my lead l know of no one who did so more through pure love of me than did Willis Green. said Mfr Clay at one time
 t Washington in the winter of IS4,. and all the great Whig leaders of the land were present. There II was that Henry Clay presented the cane to his old friend. Willis C reen. who never left ii for mo- ment away from his side till he died in Texas in 1885 He then bequeathed 1t to Major Kinney. who married his wife $ niece. The cane had to be sawed in two to be taken through the lines. and Major Kinney had Ii screwed together again The Major is brimful of "reminiscences of those days He was an intimate friend of Mir. Greens. and learned from him as much, and probably more, of Clay than any living man. Green was a hot tenn pered. warm-heared. iron-willed man He was one of the most artistic svearers in Kentucky. no man has been found 10 wear his mantle except Ed Marshall.
 One day Clay vas invited to make a speech at Hanover Virginia, where his boyhood was sperf. Inc people facked from laf anu near tg near the gTea, orator Mir. Clay suggested to Green. Cnttenien and sarset Davis. who were with hlla, that they Eo down in a private conveyance. ard not be troubled with the dust and heat af the vehicle provided by the people. As they neared Hanover. up the road came prancing horses. bedecked with ribbons and sca.iEE innrnerable gaTiands. Clay looked ' the approach- ing vehicle, envelope .s cloud q dust with ever-increasing dispieasure. At length, when ii approached and drew up along side. Clay turned to Garrei Davis and said: am al right here, and I'll be d--d if budge an inch

law" tOhh AbAAt-
A Brooklyn clergyman OF nearly forty
years experience, remarked privately the
other day upon what he called an imposition
upon tho time and patience Of ministers
practiced by persons who belong to no
church. This is in the unreasonable demands
upon their time for funeral services. Per-
sons who nave never connected themselves
with any church, and also, it is moro than
likely, have made it a practice to sneer at
churches and ~clergymen alike, still feel the
need Of clerical services when death makes
its way into the family circle. They seek out
q clergyman to whom they are not known at
all, perhaps through an Introduction from a
friend, and make n heavy draft upon hin
time. He must not only conduct the main
portion OF the service, but he must go to the
grave. There, after having expended half a
day, he is dismissed with, possibly, n ''thank
YOU and those TO whom he has devoted his
time probably return to their old course of
Indifference, IL not of actual opposition, to
all religious effort,
Service at funerals stands on such a differ
ent basis from that at marriages that clergy
men are expected to be always Mt command,
and they perform this exacting labor with
great unselhshness, and for its own sake, as
II is entirely without reward. Yet there has
so often seemed to be an clement of social
imposition in the demands made upon them
that some clergymen have considered the ad-
visibility OF causing Il TO be understood that
in cases not arising in their own congrega-
tons, or where there was no natural claim
upon them, they would expect those who
could afford IL to compensate them for their
time,
