FRKEDOM IN BRAZIL.

isEThe passagesof the government slave bill by both the Brazilian senate and chamber of deputies is a very important step in the work which has long been going on in Brazil
 The new act frees at once slaves who have already reached or passed the age of sixty, while all who may hereafter attain that age thereby become freedmen. It re- quires new registry of all slaves and sets certain values on them for purposes of eman- cipation depending on age. It creates 8 new fund for purchasing freedoms, chiefly by an extra tax of five per cent. on all sources of taxation except exports, while keeping up the existing fund derived from various sources. It provides for the care of aged or sick slaves by their masters and obliges the freedmen to work for certain number of years, under certain conditions, after emancipation and in the locality where they may have been freed. It also, encourages immediate emancipation by giving half the registered value of slaves to the planter who will exact only five years additional service in payment of the other half. Various other provisions relate to freeing old slaves, pro- viding free labor st the governments ex- pense, and so on.
 Brazil began her system of emancipation just after slavery was abolished in this coun- try, and the good work has gone on with more or less steadinsss ever since. Many slaves have already been freed. There are, it is said nearly 200, 900 left, and it is expect cd that this number will rapidly grow smaller under the operations of the new act When the last slave in Brazil is freed there will be reason for great rejoicing. That country al- so has reason for rejoicing that emancipation has not cost long and bloody war, as it did in this country. Taxes have been heavy, but they can be borne without great dis

PrefsssionaI Humor Pays.


 It is true that there is humor and humor. Nc man is always at his best. Sometimes in moments of inspiration jests flash brightly and freely from the nib. while at other times the sound of the grinding is rather low. But it can be ground ont, as regularly as the hour of going to press" comes round, and of kind, too, to make the reader laugh, though it may make the writer groan.
 The gift of humor is not given equally to all men. To some few it is denied aItogeth- sr But when it exists at all it can unqnss. tionably be cultivated and enlarged. One may acquire the habit of looking at the humorous side of things seen and heard. One may gain fertility in inventing and de scribing humorous situations. One may develop the power of treating of current events in such quaint and incongruous phrase as to provoke smile at least. if not c roar.

And it is clear enough why they do it. Hpays. Writers who have vein of acceptable hunor are in demand. The eager appetite of American newspaper readers for humorous writing is remarkable it wonderful Even such crude, coarse, un- intelligent humor as that of Peck's Sun and the Texas Siftin9s and the Arkansaw Travel er is in the most active demand.

MT. Lee, the Boston Publisher, Tells How Unknown Writers are Treat. ed.
 From the Omaha Hera1d.' Permit me to ask what is first done with a manuscript after it's receipt.' "It is at once turned over to a reader, who takes it with him, and after examining it carefully rsturns it to us with his opinion as to it's merit or lack of merit. We have eight readers regularly engaged for this with strong indorsement we then consider the merits of the work from g commercial standpoint. whether it is likely to sell, how much it will cost for production, 6tc., &c Frequently we turn the manuscript over to a second reader, and sometimes to a third. If all say, This is strong work; think it will pay you to publish it, or words to that effect, way in the question of publication
 What kind of persons do you generally employ as readersg"
 "In most cases men or women of culture, who themselves have done literary work; sometimes a lawyer who finds time from his professional duties to give attention to itera- ry pursuits, or doctor similarly situated, and sometimes woman of refined educa- tion qualified to do the work. When we have any manuscript on a speciality, as sci entiic, medical or other subject of the kind, we engage some recognized professional man in that particular. All our readers are trust worthy, and some have been regularly en- gagged by us for years; opr woman has been reading for us oyer eigbv Ars."
 "Do you publish th 0rks at your own risk. or do the writey -sume part Of the e1- pense?" /
 "Nearly always writers are required to bear part of u 6pense of the first edi- tion; always whon they are new writers. Sometimes they cannot get into print with out bearing the entire expense. It is 8 fact not generally known that Longfellow paid within small amount of the total cost of James Russell Lowell paid all the expense of his first work.''
 "What is an ordinary edition and it's costa''
 "A book of four hundred pages is consid- cred an edition at 1000, and the total cost. including advertising, copyright, books to the press for reviews, and all incidentals is about $1 ,250. The first edition, if all sold, will bring net return of only $675, leaving $550 unaccounted for. A second edition will cost only $450, as the plates are on hand and there is no expense on that score, and on this edition the net return will again bs $675, leaving still $225 of the original ex- penditure to be gotten out of the work. On the next edition, if one can be disposed of, this shortage is cleared up and very small profit remains. So that it can be seen that to be slightly profitable investment there must be at least three editions of one thou sand copies of every book published.
