Prosperous enough is Mark Twain. Heis in town.
He has hard head for business. Everything that
he says or does is slow and aborous. He makes no
move without careful consideration of the effect
that Is likely to have on his fortunes lie married
wealth. He declined to share the profits of his
books with the publishers but established his own
agency for their manufacture and sale, and so, in
stead Of getting only fifteen or twenty cents for each
two.dollar volume clears everything above the mere
mechanical cost Of production. He invited George
Cable, the novelist OF Creole life, TO spend few
weeks at his Hartford home, and at the end of the
visit contract had been signed for joint lecture
tour, which IL financially successful to surprising
degree. 1t Is owing TO hard, sluggish work rather
than to any spontaneity OF genius that Mark makes

Goats of mail are still In use among some of the

says Col. Colbournc, In speaking of one of these

round the body by the baltan, and formed complete
