SCIENCE AND SENTIMENT.

Modern biography like modern history
has come to be documentary In nature rs
the historian Of to-day demands access TO
the official papers of the nation, whose
history he would write; so does the biog-
rapher of to-day demand access TO the
private papers Of the ma whose life he
would tell. To the demand OF the histor-
ian little objection Is ever made. No one
thinks il a violation of goo taste for n
great historian 10 drag out dusty old state
papers or to publish " the letters Of
public men on public subjects. But when
the ~biographer asks tn read and publish
the private letters and journals Of his
hero. the sentiment Of he people is
aroused and the biographer is re-
garded in the light Of a.. ghoul desecrat-
ing the sacred remains Of the dead. And
the sentiment is not an altogether despic-
able one. Indeed, 1t is one that finds n
ready response in every sensitive soul.
Few il any men can enjoy contemplate
ing the possibility hat all their sacred ex-
pressions of confidence and affection
may one day he exposed TO the gaze and
jeer of the vulgar reading public. III il
were not for the sweet assurance that we
are not likely To be thought sufficiently
interesting to attract the searchers of
fact, very few of us would write with n
degree of naturalness or freedom. But the
unfortunate great man must endure
having all his sacred and private feelings
advertised to the world as soon as he is
deceased.

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-07-13

In each of the above cases sentiment.
worthy though il might he, has had to
give way TO science. The world is coming
more and more to feel that great men are
wholly their own, their private as well as
their public selves, and at the same time
the world is coming to judge more char
itably, To NOW that the noblest man is
somewhat ignoble. With a broadened
charity on the part OF reading people
much of the dread attendant upon re-
search in ones private papers will pass
away But biography founded upon the
study of documents is destined never to
pass away. The ~old-fashioned hearsay
biography will never be recalled, how
ever little agreeable to our sensibilities
may be a biography of ones private letters
and journals.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-07-13

And yet worthy as is this sentiment
against the biographer's intrusion upon
holy ground, yet much is to be said in his
defense. How he is To write biographical
history without such a course is not clear.
Ii is quite impossible that we should even
have known any real Machiavelli, but for
Mr.. villari's appeal To that statesman's
letters. Neither Machiavelli's friends nor
his enemies rightly knew him ;the former
greatly underestimatcd him and the latter
grossly vitupcrated him.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-07-13

of the difficulties and necessities of a
b~iograpler, Mr.. Carlyle seems to have
had a keener appreciation than great
men usually have. When he fancied that
his end was near, he handed over to his
friend and contemporary, James Anthony
Froude, all his private letters and jour
mails with Instructions to use them AZ he
deemed best. Among these private let
tiers was the famous correspondence of
Carlye and his wife both before and after
their marriage. Its value as the history
ola unique courtship and marriage is simp-
ly inestimable, and yet many have very Sc
verely criticised Mr.. Froude for
publishing this portion of Car
lyle's correspondence. Strange that
no IN seems ever to have seen the pro-
prietv of criticising Carlyle for a lack of
taste and sensibiliiy in placing them i'm
his biographer's hand. Certainly, IL any
criticism is To be given, it should fall on
Carlyle and not OH Froude.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-07-13

The life of George Eliot is another
biography consisting like that of Carlyle
almost wholly of correspondence. In this
case, George Eliot's husband, Mr.. Cross.
has used her letters quite freely without,
as far as we know, having any especial in
structions from her as Froude had from
Carlyle. Yet Cross has not been made
the unfortunate object of bitter criticism
as Froude has beer made. And the rea-
son is not difficult 10 see Carlyle's
home life vas the least admirable thing
about him and hat was what appeared
most prominently in the Froude expose,
and to-day few people are able far enough
To forgive Carlyle treating his wife as he
did, To rightly estimate his real greatness.
The celebrated historian, Won Rank 3,
was fond of saying that the only proper
form of history was carefully and schol-
arly annotated documents. On looking
over the great biographies of the last half
century one is led to remark how far this
ideal has obtained. In the catalogue of
biographies w find Thomas Moore's
Life of Byron" Carlyle's Letters and
Speeches of Oliver CROMWELL Froude's
Carlyle" and Crosses Life of George
Eliot" all these have been written on the
documentary plan.

BUSINESS MEN ON AN EXCURSION.
The Pilot Roy takes jolly Crowd
TO Motley HAN.

The Pilot roy takes q jolly Crowd
90 Motley nan.
The business men Of Washington bad
an enjoyable time last night Mr.
Frank Hume was the cause Of it, and
he was aided and abetted by the other
owners Of the steamer Pilot Boy
Probably no excursion that has gone
down the river this season has carried
such a large number Of representative
men as did the Pilot Boy last night,
but 20 have seen them, one would
easily have imagined they were school
boys on q froliC, for every one gave
himself UP to the fullest enjoyment Of
the occasion. and &c is needless 10 say
each one had 60 In the most complete
sense Of The term.
Everything was done for the comfort
and convenience of The guests and each
was made To- feel that if he did moi own
The boat he had a first mortgage on it.
RcireshmCnis, solid and liquid, were
served in a DELIGHTFULLY."- informal man
nCr. and al were made to feel at home.
About ljO gentlemen accepted the In
vilaiiuns to go. and although &c was
sag party the absence Of the fair sex
did not seem To have any appreciable
effect upon the cXhuberant spirits Of
those present The objective point Of
the excursion was Motley Hall. the new
summer resort Mr. Hume and his asso-
ciates propose TO open next summer.
II Is beautiful place easy Of access,
and possesses advantages that none Of
the other resorts have. It Is heavily
wooded. thus giving plenty of shade
while there is plenty Of open land. The
tract contains 2i6 acres, and all of Il Is
being rapidly improved. The scenery
Is picturesque and the resort is certain
10 be a popular one. A new aud hand.
some pavilion has been erected and II
was upon this that most Of the eXcur.
sionists gathered Inasmuch as there
was no music dancing could not be In.
dulged in, and Mr.. Hume's natural
modesty prevented him from making q
speech.
After viewing the grounds the party
adjourned to the boat and took a sail
down the river Impromptu glee clubs
were soon organized and digniicd
business men were quickly exerting
their vocal powers The whole gamet
of sacred and profane music was run,
while champagne glasses furnished the
means for striking lnterludes Of instru
mental Jingle. II was a merry party,
and when the boat returned to the city
the praises of Mr. Hume as hospitable
host were loudly sung.
