Large Cities and Literary inspiration.

Many writers, some OF them men OF
great ability, will be astonished to hear
that Mr.. Howells was competed to leave
New York because ga large city is fatal
to inspiration" Mr.. Eugene Field, in
reply to this too general statement, points
out that Francois Villon did not find the
atmosphere of Paris, not even of that
Bohemian Paris in the midst of which he
lived, at all injurious to his work. Horace,
according to Mr.. Field, was SCARCELY ever
away from Rome, though many are I'M
der the impression that, though he made
his observations in the capital, he wrote
his epistles, his satires and his odes in
the retirement of his Sabine farm. Mr..
Field, however, is doubtless right in say
ing that numberless great English au-
thors, from Shakespeare and Chaucer
down to Dickens and Thackeray, did
some admirable writing in busy London.
Goldsmith, it is true, when he was
about TO write his Natural History"
took cottage in the country; but thai
was less for the sake of solitude than
with a view to the direct study of GER
tain animals, such as sheep and oxen,
whose peculiarities were unknown to
him. We have it, indeed, on the au-
thority of johnson himself, that Gold
smith scarcely knew the difference be-
tween a horse and COW. But the
''Vicar of Wakefield was written in
the heart of London. in the midst of
noise, distress and duns. Dickens once
wrote in Household Words a pleasant
story Of an author who went to the sea-
side with quire of paper and bundle
of quill pens, in order to complete, far
from the busy hum, some work on which
he was engaged. But first one thing,
then another, attracted his attention.;
and it was not until he returned to his
chambers in London that he was able to
get seriously to work.-London Life.

bold enough to dispute his authorEy.
The boy was particularly fond Of geogra-
ply and arithmetic, and seemed neversO
happy as when, pointer in hand, he was
allowed to ramble at his own sweet will
over the face Of the map. he seemed to
his fellow pupils to have the latitude and
longitude of each place at his fingers

on this account was often selected by the
porter to enter the names OF visitors N

he was even invited into the clerks Of

ed the books at the workhouse in order
to find if there are any traces Of Stanley
there, he discovered among the entries
the name of John Rowlands some eight
times. The first entry is that of his adj
mission to the house, which took place
on Feb. 20, 1847. He is entered as be-
longing to the parish of Denbigh, and as
having been born in 1S41 ithis date, by
the way, TALES exactly with DR.. Pierce's
account. His name next occurs in the
lists of inmates for the years 1915.
Previous to this no list Of names for
each year was made out; only the names
of those who were admitted Or discharg-
ed during the year were registered. The
last entry is dated May Is, 1856, and is
the time when he finally left the work
house. He is there reported to have

The Holo in the Wall

"TeH me about the hole in the wall. !"
"Well, 1t was one of the famous In
stitutions Of our early days. I'll give
you full history of it-sonething that
has never been told in print. 1t had its
origin in ham and bread. One Of the
senators suggested to John Beall, who
was sergeant-at-arrns away back in the
thirties, that it would be good thing to
have a little luncheon set near the hall
and get a bite to eat. So Bealfs wife
boiled hams and made bread and Beall
brought them down and set them up in
little circular room just north of the
rotunda and ON the east side of the corri-
dor. Soon he added pickles, nuts, salads
and such little delicacies, and the place
became very popular.
''Then somebody suggested to Beall
that there ought to be bottle of whisky
there, and after the whisky had been
procured there came demand for gin,
rum, brandy, wine and all sorts of
came regular saloon. There was no
bar, of course, not even a sideboard, the
bottles and demijohns being set in rows
on the shelves. For long time the SEN
ators used to go in there and help them
selves to whatever they wanted, and the
expense was run in under the contingent
account, as horse hire or something like
that.
''After time the stock gotso large and
popular that it was no uncommon thing
to see a dozen senators and their friends
in there drinking and having good times.
The little room, not more than twelve or
fifteen feet in diameter, and taking its
name from the fact that it was Simply a
hole in the wall, lighted only by one win
dow, was often badly crowded, and a
good deal of confusion resulted in the
arrangement of the stock, SO that the
senator who had a favorite brand of
liquor had much trouble in finding it.
Thus it became necessary to put man
man in charge, and after time the ex-
pense became so great that it was not
easy to work it off in the contingent ac-
count. Then the senators were required
to pay for what they got, and after this
was done the popularity of the Hole in
the Wall fell off very rapidly. But it
was kept up until some years after the
senate moved into its present chamber
in 1859 1t is good thing, I'm think
ing, that the walls of that dark little
room are dumb!'-Ohio State Journal.

Sidney and descended, leaving Leroy and
the ladies above. We followed these steps
for about fifty feet The descent was very
difficult The light of the lantern grew fee
BILE However, we arrived on broad plat
form of level ground.
The sound of the water had by this time
increased to that of roaring torrent, and on
our left we saw the black, inky stream rush
ing past. We sounded aad found the river
very deep and cold.
Passing along the banks the air became
heavier still, and the lamp, which had been
burning more feebly, went out altogether.
Breathing became vey difficult, owing to the
absence of oxygen.
In this dreadful place and in total darkness
we were stumbling about trying to find the
steps, by which to return, for hours, until be-
coming quite weary we sat down and fell into
a torpid, heavy sleep. how long We remain
ed in this state dc not know.
On awakening, with a great effort we
aroused ourselves, and finally hit on pass
age, which we followed. AS we went the
noise of the waters became less audible and
finally we lost the sound altogether. Still,
there WIGS no ray of light; nothing but thick
darkness and noisone, pestilential air.
We CROPPED about for hours from one pass
age to another amidst a silence deep and
dreadful. Tho sound of our voices appeared
unnsturally loud, and echoing through the
vaults gave the impression that the place was
haunted by countless demons wSo wee mock
ing our distress.
Quite exhausted by exertion, anxiety and
want OF food, we sank down IN despair, Civ
ing ourselves up for lost. After a time, how
ever we determined TO make another effort
for life.
We found that the lamp would now keep
lighted This gave US fresh hope and enabled
US to see our way about. We made better
progress along the darksome passage and
soon were over5oyed at seeing my faithful
Newfoundland cog jumping and bounding
toward US
We NOW knew we were saved. Following
