the satisfaction which Mark Twain did G:

getting fortune out of it. Mark Twain
saw that there was the germ of a play in
it, and he bought Warmers rights to the
dramatic representation for few hundred
dollars, and Warner for time thought he
had made the best of the bargain. But
when John T. Raymond took the charac-
ter of Mulberry Sellers, and adapted it to
| the stage and made great hit with it, Mr..
| Warner realized that Mark Twain's fore
sight had been better than his own.
! Twain's profits on the play were more than
| $50, 900.
| 1t was doubtless this unfortunate ex-
perience which kept Mr.. Warner for ten or
twelve years from making any further eff
| fort to write fiction. If The Gilded Age"
had been a literary and popular success he
probably would have kept at it from the
| time that book was written.
Mr.. Warmers first pronounced literary
success came to him about twenty years
ago. He had been for a number of years
an editorial writer, part proprietor of the
| Hartford Courant, and in certain literary
| circles was recognized as writer who had
a delightful command of the English Ian
guage, a quaint originality of thought and
a very happy humor. 1t occurred to him
that as sort of relaxation from his more
| serious editorial duties he would write q
series of sketches which would depict the
SORROWS of those busy persons who under
took to amuse themselves with amateur
gardening He therefore wrote series of
| articles for the Hartford Courant which
he called MY Summer in Garden" and
attention was at once drawn to them, not
only in Hartford, but elsewhere Henry
Ward Beecher made public confession of
the laughter and JOY with which he read
them, and so Mr.. Warner leaped from COM
parative obscurity to wide literary fame.
Other books followed at pretty frequent
intervals, most of them being essays,
sketches of travel, pervaded with the gen
tie humor and delicious literary quality
which were revealed in the Summer in a
Garden" and Mr.. Warner at once took
rank with the best of American httera-
tours 4 few years ago he became con-
nected with Harper's Magazine, still re-
tanning his relations with the Hartford
Courant.
Mr.. Warner. with Mark Twain and Mrs
Harriet Beecher Stowe, both of whom are
near neighbors Of his in Hartford, has
given that city the repuoe of a literary cen
ter. not only in this country, but in Europe
Each of these writers enjoys great fame
abroad, and Mark Twain is said 70 be es-
teemed more greatly IN England even than
he is in this country. Mr.. Andrew Lang
has gone so far as to put Mark Twain
among the writers OF greatest genius whom
The Nineteenth century has produced in
America. Mrs. Stoves genius is recog-
nized everywhere, for her Uncle Toms
Cabin" has been translated into more than
one hundred languages; while in England

kinds, and chair and plano covers, lamp
mats, infants outfits, wax and other sorts
of artificial flowers, shell work, and many
specimens of ornamental work with PEN
Gil, pen and needle. They occupied nearly
one-fourth of the space in the fair.
Among the articles shown by the manu-
facturers were specimens of flintware just
invented, which are spoken of as being able
to stand the intensest heat, and therefore
suitable for cooking, and the prediction is
made by the committee of judges that the
ware would soon take the place of the Liv-
erpool and porcelain ware "now imported
at such extravaganza prices from Europe
and Asia" Great credit is given to the
manufacturer of mirror set in an orna-
mental brass frame, with attached arms for
holding lights, and it is proclaimed as a
new mode for framing glasses for dressing
cases. There was also displayed the model
of power cannon" by the Cincinnati in
ventor, by which it was claimed sixty balls
per minute could be fired A portable saw
mill also attracted especial attention. It
was "a new thing" and was designed TO be
set up in the woods and the lumber sawed
by horse or man power.
The fair was held in an historic building,
Anthony Trollope, in 1928, during a visit
to this country, where she remained about
two years, which were spent in Cincinnati.
II was erected on the site of old Fort Wash
ington, and the space it afforded for the
display of the articles shown was superior
TO what any other building in the city
could afford, being 50 by l04 feet.
1t was built by Mrs. Trollope for ladies'
bszar, where could be purchased all aTti-
eles for lady's use. the enterprise
failed and the building was sold, and from
that time until it was torn down in 1850 1t
was known as "Trollope's Folly"
The fair was opened with considerable
social display. a great feature Of 1t was
that General Solomon Van Rensselaer,,
who once commanded at Fort Washing
ton, was present as the guest Of General
William Henry Harrison, his early com
mander and friend.
The fair is recorded success, and it was
repeated annually foE some years. 1t was
the forerunner OF the remarkable series of
expositions that have made the Queen City
famous IN the history Of the industrial ex-
positions Of the United States

How Jane Studied Grammar.

It is pathetic sight to watch the me-
andering of the childish mind through the
intricacies of English grammar. Little
Jane had been repeatedly reproved for
doing violence to the moods and lenses
of the verb "to be-" She would say Il
be" instead of 81 am" and for time it
would seem as if no one could prevent it.
Finally Aunt Kate made a rule not to
answer an incorrect question, but TO wait
until it was corrected. One day the two
sat together, Aunt Kate busy with en-
broidery, and little Jane over her dolls
Presently doll society became tedious, and
the childs attention was attracted to the
embroidered frame
'Aunt Kate" said she, "please tell me
what that is going to be-" But Aunt Kate
was counting and did not answer. Fatal
word, be! 1t was her old enemy, and to it
alone could the child ascribe the silence
that followed. "Aunt Kate" she persist
ed, with an honest attempt to correct her
mistake, please tell me what this is going
to ann"
Still auntie sat silently counting, though
her lip curled with amusement.
Jane sighed, but made another patient
effort "Will you please tell me what
there is going to are?" Aunt Jane count
ed on, perhaps by this time actuated by a
wicked desire to know what would come
next. The little girl gathered her energies
for one last and great effort, and said,
Aunt Kate, what am that going to are?"

Tho Booking Clerk in England.

'-The booking clerk is late again, " is a
remark often heard when the first train in
the morning is due out and no one ap-
pears to book it. The passengers begin TO
lose patience; but at the last minute the
clerk is seen rushing TO the Office door, and
In few seconds the window is up, and the
click Of the stamping press is heard going
at lightning speed. 1t is surprising how
many people can be booked in a minute if
they will but ask plainly for their ticket
and tender the right fare. The clerk
knows this, and gauges his time so nicely
that a minute or two is all he allows hinl-
self to send his customers on their way,
not rejoicing, but grumbliug at his delay
in turning up.
He has no time for morning additions
and generally looks very seedy, and gels
the discredit at once of being dissipated

him if he is young man, but they get a

booking clerk is not without impudence,
and does not fear 10 indulge in it during
the early hours of morning when no Off
Gals are about. After the first train has
gone, and should there be a long interval
before another is due, he will conclude his
nights rest on the counter or table, and
will condescend about a. IN. to perform

The porcupine inhabits many countries,

Just been speaking; for, except upon the
tail, the quilts are so deeply buried among

The tail, however, is closely set with short

very destructive animal in its native for

THE LITERARY WORLD.
Charles Dudley Warner and His Forth
coming Novel.
Especial Correspondence


NEW YORK, May 25.-It is announced
that Charles Dudley Warner will, on his
return from Europe, have the manuscript
of new novel ready for the publishers.
Mr. Warner has also, during this trip,
gathered materials for some sketches of
travel, so that we are likely to have by and
by another series setting forth, with Mr..
Warmers quaint humor and delightful
style, the story of his winter in the east.
1t is strange, perhaps, that Mr.. Warner
should have begun SO late in life the writ
ing of fiction. He is now about sixty years
of age, at the height of his reputation as
litterateur, and has dared to take up the
pen that he may write fiction at an age
when the imaginative powers of most writ
ers are supposed to be declining.
Dickens had written his last story when
he was just about the age that Mr. War
ner was when he wrote his first novel, en-

CINCINNATI, June 2-Chicago is to have
the Worlds fair, but Cincinnati has the
honor of having had the first industrial
exposition held in America. 1t occupied
the 30th and 91st of May and June l, 1888.
Its anniversary has therefore just passed
by. 1t was held under the auspices of the
Ohio Mechanics institute. The records of
the institute say that the first exposition
of industrial products of which there is
any account was held in France in 1796,
and that the second was at Cincinnati
forty years later. This is the foundation
of the Queen City's boast of being the
Mother of American Industrial EXPOSE
tons" With public attention now at
trscted toward the Worlds fair, a brief ac-
count of this first fair may be OF interest.

The PORCuPlNE.
A Well Known Rodent Famous for Its
Long Spines or Quilts.

Long SPines or Quills.
The body of the porcupine is covered
with long spines. These spines are very
formidable weapons. When the porcu-
pine is molested it raises its quilts and
backs rapidly upon its enemy, who often
finds it by no means easy to avoid the on
set Of the enraged animal. The wounds
caused by the spines are sometimes very
serious. The quilts, like all hairs, are
shed and renewed, and those that are
about to be shed are SO loose that when
they pierce the skin of any victim they
often remain firmly fixed in the wound.
Then by means of their structure they
gradually work their way deeper and deep
er into the flesh Sometimes one of these
spines has been known to cause the death
of the wounded animal by finally pierre
ing some Vital part.

have another newspaper, and the
HERALD congratulatcs the camp
upon this new measure. We are in
hearty accord with all steps taken to
improve the condition and rate Of
progress in the camp where our lines
arc cast. Our sole wish is that our
contemporary editor, whoever he may
be, will deal with his themc--that of
increasing the rate of business in our
camp and calling the capitalist here
from a lofty stand point. The HER
AID has ever tried to do this and will
not depart from its original and fixed
course. We ran the first weekly
and will start the first daily and our
faith in the people Of Neihart is that
they will not fail to support wcll-di-
rectcd enterprises for the building up
of the camp. We trust hat both
papers will have too much to do to
beratc each other through the public
columns and we here declare that no
reader Of the HERALD will ever be
forced to suffer such Preparations
at its. hand as the manner of some is.
