TRIALS OF AUTHORSHIP.
why 1t Is Unsafe to Make Calculations on
Products Of the Pen.

Products Of the Pen.
There is by far too prevalent an inn
preston that literature is bed of roses,
where all seed bears flowers. No calcu-
lation is safe that is made on products Of
the pen. I have known of several in
stances where young authors have as.
sumed obligations based upon the prob
able success of their work. Disappoint-
ment invariably follows in such cases.
In few professions are there so many
uncertainties. Because a story is ac-
cepted this week, is no guarantee that
you will have another accepted next
week. Yet, again and again have I
heard rising young authors make such a
calculation. A young writer receives
$50 for an accepted story which has prob
ably cost him a weeks work. Imme-
dtately follows the multiplication of $50
b! 50 weeks. 1t apparently never occurs
te him that for weeks, and perhaps
months, he will receive only declina-
tions. Literature makes a precarious
foundation for financial calculations,
and it would save much unhappiness
and disappointment if this was more
generally understood and credited. AS
in all callings, success in literature
means hard, steady work, plenty of it,
ana even then success may not come.
Tbnre are ten, yea twenty and forty
failures to every success. The literary
market has never been so full as at the
present day, with sharp competition at
every turn. Never have there been more
people with pen in hand striving for a
livelihood, each doing their utmost to
outdistance the other. 1t viii be we'll
for young authors, too ready to adopt
literature as profession and too san
guine of success, to consider and digest
some Of the disadvantages of authorship
as we'll as the rose-colored joys of fame
and praise which are spread upon the
canvas of their inexperienced Visions

How an Indignant Man Taught Masher q
Lifelong Lesson.
ALI the passengers for the noon train
East had boarded the cars the other day,
and one of them was standing on the
rear platform of the last car, when a
man came running up to the gate and
made a great show of passing without
his ticket.
ticket, sir tieket!" called the
officer.
Don't stop me!9 puffed the other. sT
have no ticket, but want to lick that
man there before he gets out of town"
"Can't pass without ticket"
"Great Scott! but I mustl l haven't
time to get one! Let me get at him"
''Show your ticket, sir!''s
"Will you keep me from punching
that scoundrel's head when ne so richly
deserves it?"
"What did he do?'
"Winked at my wife. Will you, mar
ried man, hinder me from teaching him
lifelong lesson?"
'sNo, will not. If he is that kind Of a
man go for him!'
The official stood aside to let the man
pass. He advanced slowly, and as he got
through the gate the man on the plat
form took his foot down off the railing,
threw away his stub and started to de-
scend the steps. The other wheeled and
fed for the street like rabbit ahead of
dog, and though the winker called to
him in pathetic tones to come back and
get satisfaction, he disappeared away up
Jefferson avenue behind an ice wagon

JeR Davis as : Pioneer.

''The first saw-mill ever built in Wis
consin, and think the first in the North
west, was built by Jefferson Davis, . was
the novel historical statement made to
me recently by L. NJ. Weston, ex-mayor
of Grand Rapids, Mich. His statement
was followed by this explanation: 81
found this fact in some old pamphlets I
was overlooking the other day. Davis
was Lieutenant in the United States
army, serving under old Zack Taylor,
whose daughter he afterward ran away
with and married. Taylor was in COM
mand of Fort Crawford, near Prairie du
Chem. 1t became necessary to build
other forts in the Northwest. The Gov
ernment sent a saw-mill to Taylor to
prepare the lumber. Davis was sent up
the Chippewa river to locate the mill
and operate it. That was the first saw
mill in what is now one of the greatest
lumber sections of the country. 1t
sounds queer thatJeff Davis should thus
be entitled to be classed as a pioneer
lumberman of tho Northwest. IN. Y.

THE WELCOME HOME.

A bright face at the window,
A glad laugh in the hall,
A cry, 10, papa's coming"
Again hear it all.
Again 1 feel the kisses
OF baby lips on mine,
and round my neck dear little arms
Most lovingly entwine.
All, but the face has vanished
That watched for me at night,
Imiss the laugh whose welcome
Was full of loves delight.
Ny heart cries out in sorrow
For what my life must miss
The baby's face, the baby's arms,
The baby's clasp and kiss.
When go home to Heaven,
know that shall see
The dear face of my darling,
AS she looks out for me.
20, papa, papa's coming"
She'll cry and quickly come,
TO Heavens door to meet me
And kiss me welcome home.

TRENTON. Jan. 20, 1890 Both branches
of the Legislature held short sessions this
evening. The Senate was in session but
few moments and did next to nothing. In
the House Clerk Noonan sprung on Mr..
Potts the old, old chestnut on his height.
A standing vote was being taken on q
resolution to have the Committee on
Elections sit on the Harris protest, send
for persons and papers and employ clerk,
when Mr.. Noonan asked Mr.. Potts Ii he
was voting. and upon being told that he
was, abologized by saying that Mr.. Potts
was so small he couldn't tell whether he
was sitting or standing. The resolution
concerning the Committee on Election
was lost
Now that the committees are out of
the way there is much speculation as to
some Of thesGoverner's appointments. The
talk jnst now is over the two Supreme
Court Justiceships which the Governor
will be called upon to fill
The terms of Justices Scudder and Van
Syckle will expire shortly, and ex-Judge
Garretson, of Jersey City, and Judge
kirkpatrick, of Newark, are prominently
mentioned for the places.
tits, however, whispered that Governor
Green would be persuaded to succeed
Justice Van Syckle, in which case there
would be lively contest for the other
seat upon the bench Moreover there are
several well informed persons who say
that the two retiring Justices will be
honored with reappointment
Although the House was in session but
a short time this evening there was time
enough for the Introduction of enough

"Wife for Wife" good play by John
A. Stevens, who is popular both as an
author and actor, was produced at the
Acdamy of Music last night 'sWife
for Wife" is his latest production
and quite equals his previous efforts. The
production of the play was a careful and
able performance. The scenes. which
are in New Orleans and Florida are
pretty and effective. John A.
Stevens plays the part OF Edward Walton
Southerner, who becoming jealous of
his wife, declares her untrue to him. His
jealousy is helped on by George, slave,
wishes for revenge for the loss of
his wife who was sold. The char
acter of Edward Walton is an admirable
one with plenty of scope in it for the dis
play OF dramatic power. In the scene
where he becomes insane Mr.. Stevens
plays the part with feeling and force

IN MARCHING ORDER.

Trenton Ring With Jubilation.

Special to the JERSEY City Nescs.
TRENTON, Jan. 81, 1890. The parade was
one of the grandest affairs Trenton ever
saw. The streets were thronged from an
early hour. and the decorations on the
public and private buildings were most
elaborate. The first organization to
arrive from out of town was
the Ackerson Light Guards of
Hackensack, who awoke the town early
with the energetic blowing of the gorge
ously arrayed band which they brought
with them, soon after them came the
Philadelphia, and Camden contingents,
and the streets were alive with martial
music and marching men.
THE PARADE,
1t was about noon when the procession
started from West Hanover and Willow
streets.
1t was led by Marshal Bamford and
his staff. First came the Third Battalion
Of the National Guard under command
of Lieutenant-Colonel Snyder. There
were about three hundred men in heavy
marching order. The Young Mems
Democratic League of Trenton and the
Paul Tulane Club OF Princeton
formed the first division, while
the third was made up of the
Robert Patterson Association, the Iro-
quois Club and the united Democratic
clubs, all of Philadelphia. The Patter-
son Association created much enthus-
iasm by the excellent marching of its
Pioneer Corps which was dressed
in black suits with white
caps and leggings. The Nineteenth
Ward Association, of Philadelphia, fol-
lowed, and then came the West Jersey
Legion and Americus Club, of Camden.
The Albeit Legion, of Camden, also had
an excellent pioneer corps, which was re-
ceived with cheers along the entire route.
ESSEX AND HUDSON.
The Essex delegation, the Joel Parker
and Jeffersonian legions, of Newark,
were fine body of men, but the palm
was carried off by the Hudson delegation.
The O'Neills had the right of line and
created a sensation by their ap.
pearance They kept perfect line
and they marched like veterans.
George B. Fielder led them, and Cappa's
Seventh Regiment Band, of New York,
furnished the music they marched SO
well to. They were followed by theHudson
County Democratic COMMITTEES, led by the
old war horse. F, G. Wolbert, which acted
as escort to the Governors party. The
sight of their blue banner with the legend
Hudson, 1856, was the signal for wild
enthusiasm wherever it appeared. An
open barouche drawn by four horses
with Hudson" on their wrappings
carried the Gubernatorial party. Cover
nor Albeit and Ex-Governor Green sat on
the front seat while Leon Albeit, Jr., oc-
cupied the back. The Governor re-
sponded to the cheers of the multitude
by lifting his hat. A long line of car
riages followed.

votes and depart, after the challcng-
ing party with his insinuations and
slurs had succeeded in leaving an
impression upon the minds of those
present, that the peddlcr derived his
income in a dishonest manner, which
certainly was not to the advantage
of the man in his business capacity.
The possibility of such perform
anccs ought to he stopped and the
quicker the better.
In North Wailuku the chairman
of the Board was furnished with
list of "doubtful' voters made out
in the Waluku Plantation office
All these "douhtful' voters belong
CT to the National Reform party,
and all were for the second time
sworn rs to their lmcOmc on the day
of election. This action was illegal;
moreover, the Board neglected to
enter the challenge and its results
in the journal rs prescribed. All
this would not have been known to
the pubic if it had not come out in
a trial in court, where the Board ap-
pearcd as witnesses.
The most remarkable combination
appearing during this election is
the Baldwin-Sprcckcls. Particn-
larry on Maui, the feelings which
the "Coloncl'' used to entertain
against the Baldwin faction are
well known, and it is highly doubt
cd here that the Colonel's repre-
sentatives acted in his spirit. The
"iirm'' sent clerk here to inllu-
ence the tenants on Spreckels' land,
and the young man with his auto
cratic ways barely escaped getting
into trouble through his rather fresh
than prudent acts. Perhaps as a
result of his failure in influencing
the native tenants, we now find Chi
ncsc occupying some of the lands
and even hear about leases being
given, while it always has been the
rule that no leases should he given
for Spreckcls' Wailuku lands, and
that lIawaiians always should he
preferred as tenants. Very likely
the "lirm' will have TO depend on
Chinese votes in future elections
and for renewal of the steamer
subsidy. Surprising is it that Tho
'!iirm' seems TO have been unable
to control the kau election, where
the Reform Mobiles only got thrc,
votes. Perhaps the manager of the
Kau plantation has o mind of his
own and is not so easily led as hi!
Maui colleagues.
There are many rumors about ar
rests to be made on account of clcc
ton business from both sides. W,
trust il will come TO nothing, 3s i
would he tiresomc TO have the clcc
ton with all its trouble over again
