The first serious attempt of the novice

That is to say, story which may tie told in
about sixty thousand words, and may be di-
vided into about fifteen or twenty chapters
the latter for choice, because the division
into short rather than long chapters is a
sovereign specific for the common tendency
to sprawl, and instructs, moreover, in the
arrangement Of the incidents. 1t also makes
it necessary 10 find those INCIDENTS. Our

Subordinate NEWSPAPER Workers.

We know by observation that the editor
in-chief of several of our great papers are
away months and months at time, leaving
to their subordinates, of whom the general
public have never heard and never will hear,
the conduct Of their great business The
business goes on just well when they are
away as when they are here Their business
or their presence makes no earthly percep-
tible difference.
This man drops out, the paper goes on.
This man dies, the paper goes on. This
man is confined to his house for weeks and
MONTHS the paper goes on. This man slips
up in some line of work, the paper goes on.
and little by little the individual workers
come to regard themselves as of no special
account. and the moment a man touches that
point, recognition Of his own inconsequeEce,
he takes downward step.

The Famous Women's Club.

Not everybody knows just what Sorosis
and its purposes are, although it has been
more talked Of and written about than
any organization in New York, at least
during its infancy. Yet there are women
and men in this city who call themselves
intelligent, who frequently ask: What is
SorOsis, anyway What good does it &C
complish? l never hear of its doing any
wonderful act of benevolence or reform
ing anything" These untaught beings
assume that a club CT ladies could have or
should have but one purpose in organic
ing, and that must be either philanthropic
or reformatory.
Sorosis is neither. It's purpose is to
enable the intellectual ladies of the city to
meet and become better acquainted, and
at the same time advance themselves in
tellectually by the discussion Of various
topics which could be classed under the
head of CULTURE Its founders were
wise women. They forbade the discus
sion of religious beliefs and opinions, and
the two or three other questions upon
which people are prone to get fighting
mad. To that wise constitutional pro-
vision is due the credit of holding the club
together for twenty years, in the face of
the widespread belief that women are
able disintegrators 1t has had its divis-
ions, TO be sure, but they have never
been violent enough to disrupt the So
