Living Made the World Better.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-The anniyer-
sary Of the birthday Of Abraham Lincoln
vas commemorated at the Republican
National League Sunday afternoon. The
club rooms were well filed with O dis
tinguished audience of prominent senators
and representatives, and league..members
with their families. DR.. John P. New
mar opened the meeting with prayer.
The peakers were Senator Cullom, Fred
Douglass, Simon Wolff and Capt. OFFER
rell. DR.. Newman paid a tribute, in his
opening prayer, to the life and character
of Lincoln, and its benign effects on our
public life. Senator Cullom delivered
the principal address.
"His p wer,n he said, clay in his won
derful insight into the truth, and the
courage to proclaim it to a listening world
against all opposition. IN this he was
more powerful and eloquent than Clay,
or Webster, or Calhoun, or Seward. In
the conviction that he was right, and in
the persistent advocacy of what he be-
lieved to be right, he arose above all party
claims and methods" In conclusion, the
senator said: "The world is made better
by recounting the virtues Of such men as
Abraham Lincoln. There arc none whose
lives teach to Americans a grander lesson
than that of Lincoln. The study of it
will conduce to private and public virtue,
correct ideas of n relations to each
other, and inspire moral courage to stand
by our convictions and duty"
Fred Douglass followed Senator Gull
lom. Nothing new" he said, could
be said about the life and character of
Abraham Lincoln. Not even with the
aid of the electric light can anything be
seen that has not been seen before. The
moral and mental greatness of Abraham
Lincoln" said the speaker, sis more gem
orally conceded than that of any other
man of modern times. All classes, both
at home and abroad, revere his memory
as that OF the highest type Of American
manhood. The colored people, whom I
represent, wish to share with you to-day
in admiration of his character and the
perpetuation Of his name. You may ex-
toll him as a statesman and a patriot
we revere him as q man and philanthro-
plst," E
Capt. Patrick o'Ferren made the clos
ing speech. az was a boy in Ireland" he
said, "when Lincoln was elected and the
war broke out. The Irish. people, how
ever, felt an interest in the downfall. OF
slavery and the perpetuation of the re-
public. / came to New York, and en-
listed in the army of the Union twenty
four hours after landing in America"
He loved Lincoln, he said, not SO much
for having saved the Union,as for having
em%ancipated the negro.

UN~PROFITAeLE WORK.

Julian Hawthorne Explains Why It Does
Not Pay to Write Books.
We may talk about the hardships Of
American literature (having assumed.
for the sake of argument. that such a
thing exists), but what would be the
state of that alleged literature if there
had been no American magazines?
Suppose l. As an American author.
write a novel. and arrange with a pub
Usher to bring it put at the price of 81
q volume. or 80 cents paper. If hs
has confidence in the book. the first
edition will be 1000 copies; my share
of the proceeds on the ordinary 10 per
cent basis is 500. payable at the end
of the year. If l live by my pen I
must subsist during that year on MOTH
ing at all. and when l get my 500 I
must pay out OF it my debts for that
last year. and probably my present
funeral expenses, for who can live On
s. cents a day. even if he were not
obliged to starve to death before he
could enter upon the enjoyment of that
princely incOme? But let Us be ex-
travagant and utOpian-let us say that
my edition is 5000 copies. instead Of
1000. In that case-which perhaps
occurs as often as oEce in a thousand
times-my reward amounts to the sum
of no less than $5OO-aSsuming. OF
course, what is never the fact. that all
the copies sold are in the dollar cloth
form. and none in the 50 cents paper.
Five hundred dollars a year for a sue
cessful novel! How many OF our
authors make twice that? How many
ten times as much? How many twenty
times as much? 1 will engage to
entertain at dinner. at a round table
five feet in diameter. all the American
~novelists who make more than $1,000 \
year out of the royalty on any n o.
their novels. and to give them all they
want to eat and drink, and three of tho
best cigars apiece afterwards. and a
hack to take them home in: and l will
agree to forfeit $1,000 to the Home for
Imbeciles if Us does not liquidate tina
bill and leave enough over to buy u
cloth copy Of each of the works in
question. with the authors autograph
on the fy-leaf. One hack would be
sufficient, m would allow OF their
