Hawthorne's Lost Book.

An incident in the early career of Ma
thaniel Hawthorne, which illustrated the
peculiar mood of this great but some
times eccentric author, is described in
the February number of Harper's Maya
zine by Hawthorne's old college friend,
Horatio Bridge of the United States
Navy. He writes:
s'It is well known that soon after grad
uating, Hawthorne prepared for the press
little volume of tales, entitled Seven
Tales of My Native Land The publish
er who engaged to bring out the book
was so dilatory that at last Hawthorne,
becoming impatient and dissatisfied with
the excuses given, peremptorily demand
ed the return of the manuscript. The
publisher, aroused to sense of his duty,
and ashamed of his broken promises,
apologized, and offered to proceed with
the work at once; but Hawthorne was
inexorable; and though, as he wrote me
at the time, he was conscious of having
been too harsh in his censures, he would
not recede, and he burned the manu-
script in a mood half savage, half de-
Spalrlng.
The publisher referred to here was
Ferdinand Andrews, a gentleman well
remembered in Boston as an early editor
of the Boston Traveller, and later clerk
in one of the Government departments at
Washington. Mr.. Andrews related the
account of it to us many years ago. He
took the manuscript from Hawthorne,
read it, and was completely charmed by
it's beauty as piece of literary work.
But this was in the early days ofpublish-
ing. Publishers III those days were no
more Macenases than authors. He was
cramped for money, and compelled to
delay it's appearance. He thought Haw-
thorne understood the case, until one day
he received Almost violent lett T from him,
accusing him of bad faith and bad inten-
tions. This letter was SO very abusive
that there was but one course left for
him, which was instantly to return the
manuscript. He said the next thing he
heard was that Hawthorns had instantly
consigned it to the flames. MI. Andrews
stated that he had always considered the
event as serious loss to literature, for
the book was equal in merit to anything
Hawthorne ever wrote, and he would
have been eager to put it in print if he
had been allowed to do so.-Boston Her

lose their interest for women who have
broad ideas and whose minds are trained
to elevated thoughts. The idea that such
women make less competent mothers
and housekeepers will not stand the test
of examination.
One sentiment, which Mrs. Fessenden
said she wished to emphasize especially,
was that it is a fundamental error to
concede any idea that sanctions a man in
debating to, OF in any way controlling
woman. ct the very spirit ana struc-
ture of our laws pre-supposes such a
condition of subsection. 1t is not so
much that the laws are contrary to Wom-
an s interest, as that they are made with
out her consent. In this present age we
want that equality which will enable
men and women to go on together IN
equal companionship. In Germany a
law has recently been passed that women
shall be educated, so as to become
More Interesting to Their Husbands.
The object of this is that the latter
may remain more at home and be kept
from clubs. Not a thought is given to
the interests of the women in this law.
Everything is planned to entertain the
men.
In conclusion, Mrs. Fessenden said
there were two spectacleS which she
much disliked to see. One was that of a
woman whose only aspirations could be
Drowned in a Dish Pan,
and who measured all women by herself;
the other that of man who takes such
woman as the model of all women, and
declares therefore against the higher de-
velopment of woman's capabilities.
The meeting was presided over by Mrs.
Hannah J. Bailey, president of the Maine
association. In introducing the speaker,
Mrs. Bailey declared her belief that wo-
man suffrage was at the basis. of moral
reform.

A YOUTHFUL OFFENDER.
A Young Man Arrested for Sacking ex-
Governor Robes Residence.

A youthful but audacious offender was
brought from Gorham yesterday by Dep
uty Sheriff S. D. Plummer. The otfense
of the .-oung gentleman is the sacking of
the house of Ex-Governor Fred
erick Robe, and the dispos-
al of the booty-including consid-
cradle gubernatorial raiment-to a Port
land broker. AS Governor Robbie
is living in the city this winter his house
was shut up and therefore liable to plum
der. The young mans name is Fred
WEIGH, and his age is about II years. He
has been living with the family of the
Governors son, Mr.. w. P. F. Robe. The
young fellow admits the deed; and APP
parently is by no means a novice in such
things.
Young WEIGH is said to be wanted also
in Boston for the theft of 500 from
boarding house in Dix place. He came
from Boston to Portland, and thence to
New Hampshire, where he spent his
$780, From the spoils in GovernorRobie' S
house he realized about SIS, having talk
en- seven pairs of trousers, seven vests,
eight coats and six newly-laundried
shirts.
