LITERARY GOSSIP.
Francis Parkman and His Fame-Grant Al
 lens New Novel.

Especial Correspondence.l
 NEW YORK, Dec. l2.-One of the ablest of the English historians, meeting Robert T. Lincoln at dinner iu London, said to him: "I am inclined to think from what hear that you have in the states an author who is more highly esteemed here than he is in his own country l have heard Professor Freeman speak of him as the ablest of American historians and express astonish ment that his works should not be better known to his countrymen. Professor Stubbs and Mir. Green have each expressed admira tion for his work. l refer of course to Fran cis Parkman."
 It was also said at this gathering that some one asked James Russell Lowell, when he was minister to England, who of all American writers of his own generation he thought would bear the highest rcputc during the next century, and Mir. Lowell answered instantly: "I think, without doubt, that the man who is perhaps the least known of American writers of ability while he is living will be esteemed in the next century in many respects the ablest of them. mean our historian, Francis Park man"
 Mir Parkman has recently died, and the comments occasioned by his death perhaps made his name more familiar to Americans than any of his historical writings. It is announced that Mir. Parkman's publishers propose very soon to bring out n popular edition of his works, and one of such req sonable cost as would bring them within reach of persons of very moderate income. When that is done, Americans will proba- bly be more familiar with his writings than they have hitherto been.
 George Bancroft, who is the most famous if not the ablest of American historians, once speaking of contemporaneous writers, said to the writer: T have often wondered why it is that the American public does not know Parkmau better. To me he seems in many respects the ablest historian that we have had, and believe that he will rank with the ablest who have written history in the English language. He possesses the lit erary charm of Macaulay without his fail ings. He seems to be as accurate as Free man-possibly even as accurate as Stubbs himself. He has the literary charm which is the chief quality of Greens delightful history, and he has opened up to us that very important epoch of American colonial life which developed the conditions which made the American revolution possible"
 This, coming from George Bancroft, was very high praise, and it illustrates that complete freedom from envy which always

characterized MT. Bancroft, and which made him the first to accord praise to the work of any American historian who de served commcndation. There came n charm ing smile to the venerable historian's face as he thus talked of Parkman and went on to say: Perhaps l feel unusually kind to- ward Mir Parkman because we have some tastes in common which do not spring out of our interest in historical study. You know I am very fond of roses, and rather proud of n collection which have in my garden here in Washington and also at my home in Newport. But Parkman knows more about roses than do, and has beaten me in the production of new and choice varieties. His roses are in their way quite as fine as his literary work"
 Here MT. Bancroft took the writer to his Washington gardens and showed him his collection of roses, which was very beau tiful one, but which he insisted did not compare with that one possessed and deyel- oped by Mir. Parkman at his home at Jamai- ca Plains, near Boston. Bancroft had al most as great O repute among fioricultur- fists as raiser of roses as he did among literary men for the colossal labor involved in the preparation of his History of the United States" And yet he was glad to accord the tribute of superiority to Mir. Parkman for this speciality, just as he seemed to acknowledge that Parkman was an abler writer of history than he.
 Mir. Parkman, though some 10 or l2 years younger than Wendell Phillips, had always pleasant relations with that greatest of American rhetoricians He did not agree
 with him in some of his views, but he had profound admiration for the art which Phillips displayed upon the platform and regarded his speeches as models of rhetorical form. They used to talk sometimes aooNt their metho9 of preparing-the one his his- torical essays and the other his platform addresses In some respects these methods were similar.
 Mir Parkman had from early life trouble with bis eyes, which made 1t necessary for him to employ amanuenses, not only in the writing of his works, but in the reading of much of the data which ho had collected. They read to him, and be assimilated. di- gested carefully the facts, and after thor ough mental preparation Of this kind sat | down to his dictation.
 Had Mr. Parkman embraced any other department of literature be would probably have achieved more speedy if not more last l ing fame, for his mental resources were as varied Rs they were strong.
 Perhaps this wide range of literary talent | Is nowhere better represented than in the 1 case of Grant Allen, who began his active career a writer of delightful works ou nature, but has recently been turning his i attention to novel writing, and today he ranks with the first of English fiction writ CTS. Although be was born in Canada, he
 has always had liking for America. His recent story, The ScallawaG," is | proving decidedly successful, and his forth
 coming novel, At Market Nalue." is said | to be his best work. While it is n long road ! from such subjects as "Vignettes From Ma
 ture" and Physiological Aesthetics" to TO-
 nance. yet the latter is the most remuner- | ative. E. J. EDWARDS,

HIS SPEECH.

 Lincoln Was Tired.

Ne Began It All Right, but Concluded NIT.
 Lincoln Was Tired.
 During President ArtLur's tcrnA. he, with Robert Lincoln and other members of his cabinet, took Il trip through the south and west.
 Abraham Lincoln was born in La Rue county, Ky, and a farmer living near his birthplace, known as Uncle Bob Hays, con- ceived the idea of cutting a cane on the old Lincoln place, now deserted and growing up to timber, and of presenting 1t to Mir. Lincoln on his arrival at Louisville.
 With great labor he prepared a speech and practiced it daily. Being very proud of it, and resolving it should be preserved, just before starting for Louisville he wrapped the manuscript around the cane and tied it with twinc.
 When the presidents party arrived, Un- cle Bob followed them for hours, but could not get near them. But he kept as close as he could till they returned to the hotel and for moment were alone in the wash room.
 Seizing his opportunity, he pushed through, closed the door, put his back against it to prevent interruption and be gan in loud voice:
 MT. Lincoln''-
 Startled, they looked up from their ablu- tions with dripping hands and faces.
 MT Lincoln-Dear Sir-I have the honor -as an humble representative of La Rue county-in the great com mmonwealth of Ken tucky-the birthplace of your illustrious father-to present to you this cane-not for its intrinsic worth-but as a memento of that great and good man-whose name is dear to all. Mir. Lincoln, in presenting this cane-ah-ah-Nr Lincoln-in presenting this cane-I say-Mr. Lincoln. in presenting this cane"-
 In vain he tried to recall what came next, then with q sudden return to his ordinary voice, and in a tone indicative of the great est kindness and consideration:
 MT. Lincoln, reckon you are tired, and the rest of the speech is wrapped around the head of that cane.'-Youth's Compan- ion.

 The child's first experiences remain with him permanently. The first color, the first music, the first flower, make up the fore ground of his life.
 Little things often chan.e the current of life. A moments temper has often severed a friendship which might have lasted life time. An unkind and hasty word has left a mark which death seems scarcely to have erased.
