THE "PICKwicK PAPERS.
A Little Bit Of Inside History as TO Their
Illustration

Illustration.
Century Magazine: The history of
the "Pickwick Papers" the change in
the original design, the tragic death of
Seymour, the hasty appointment and
Dismissal of Buss, have been described
by Forster In his life of Dickens. The
work. which had started dependent for
the most part on illustration, and had
gained success on its letter press, was
now in a perilous state. Its originator
died by his own hand and his successor
declared incapable, the need Of an IL
illustrator was soon noised abroad
among the artistic fraternity and two
competitors sent in their designs
IIablot X. Browne and William Make
peace Thackeray.
Thackeray. as we know from his own
lips, had at this time the intention of
becoming an artist. With few
sketches he called upon Dickens, who
told him that the choice had fallen
upon Browne.
Leaving Furnival Inn, Thackeray
made his way 10 Newman street To ac-
quaint his rival with his success and to
offer him the earliest congratulations.
Together these young men Immediately Y
repaired to a neighboring public house
where a banquet, consisting of sausl.
ges and bottled stout, was held for the
better satisfying of their appetites and
TO do greater honor 10 the occasion.
The feast finished. the good wishes
pledged and Thaekery gone, Browne
started off 10 communicate the news
and TO get the assistance Of his quon-
dam fellow-apprentice. Robert Young,
who was then boarding in Chester
place. Bidding him bring his latchkey,
Browne hurried him back TO Newman
street, and throughout that night the
two worked upon the plates. Browne
etching while Young bit them in. BY
morning the first was finished, and in
Sam Weller a creation was given 10 the
world, a new character had entered
what may be called the realm Of his
toric fiction.

A Plea for EgoTlsm.

"It might be worth something to see
ourselves as others see u.s." says writer
In the Voice, "but the benefit accruing
would be far less than Burns surmised,
since now some of us are happy through
the comforting egotism that buoys us
up. If our spiritual selves were hung
to view, like a mirage, possibly the rev.
citation might render us more valuable
service than great praise from admir-
ing friends or from misleading enemies.
But life's possibilities for good are so
limited that we should regret exceed
ingly having viewed the exposures.
Some of us are like the harmless luna
tics, in the mild wards of asylums,
who imagine themselves to be kings or
queens Barring the adjustment OF
everything on a rational basis, it would
seem unwise to restore to sanity such
patients. When we shall have lost the
natural trust in self, that superb vital
ity that enables one to go through the
day touching only the highest places,
then we have lost our health or we are
growing old. Egotism is the only pull
sation of the existence that now is. And
when we have lost it we have lost our
strongest hold on life"

IT is the mission of demagogues to
create animosities and contentious
where there should be none, and to sub
NIT themselves upon one party or the
other as may best serve their turn.
There should be no contention, for ex-
ample, between the railroad companies
and the farmers. The railroads add to
the value of the farms and to the posi-
hilities of extended farming. The
produce of the farms, on the other
hand, is the sure reliance of the rail
road companies, without which their
yearly carrying and fetching would
bring them very inadequate returns
But Governor Tillman of South Caro-
lima, has managed to array the farmers
against the railroad employees, and is in
the meantime currying favor with the
grangers as their special champion. 1t
is to be hoped that the people of. South
Carolina will soon get enough of this
pernicious mountebank.

The commercial results of the year
just closed, as indicated by Bradstreet's
reports, is not so bad. According--to
this competent authority, the number of
business failures in the United States,
during the calendar year, with the ex-
ception of South Dakota, where a state
law renders it unlawful to report such
information, except under prohibitory
conditions, is 1920, a smaller total
than has been reported since 1889, with
the single exception of 1897, when the
aggregate was 9,740. This is not the
only astonishing part of the exhibit, for
the grand total of liabilities of failing
traders in the United States, in 1899, ap-
pears to be only sos, 500, 900, a total also
smaller than in any year since 1882,
without any exception. A similar COM
parison may be made as to assets, the
total of which is S54,7O0 The total
business population of the United
States in 1898 was $4,000 commercial
and industrial concerns, individuals,
firms and corporations of sufficient
standing and permanence to be of
record, and the number of failures in
that year amounted to 1O,299, the first
time the aggregate had passed the TO-
900 mark. Yet IN 1899, nine years
later, with business population" OF
1895, 900, a gain of 81 per cent, the
number of business failures is only TO-.
270, or about the. same as nine years
ago, and the debts of failing trades are
40 per cent smaller now than then
This is the most striking feature of the
years exhibit with respect to CONNER
cial deaths.

A Bond for immigrants.

Gen. Francis A. Walker, president Of
the Massachusetts, institute of tech
nology, and superintendent of the CEN
sus of 1850, in the course of lecture on
immigration said he favored certain re-
strictions; every foreigner coming
to United States he thought should
pay the sum of one hundred dol
lars, which was to be regard
ed not as a tax, but rather as a
deposit. If at the end of three years
the immigrant had become an indus
trious and law-abiding citizen of the re-
public, the deposit should be paid back.
The immigrant would forfeit the
amount if he should be sent to an aims
house or a prison. If the immigrant
wished to return to his native country,
the money would be refunded to him.
The settlement of the problem of i'm
migration, DIR. Walker said, should be
left mainly to the vote of the laboring
classes.

THOSE who have had their feelings
hurt from time to time by charging
upon the sufferings of cattle when
branded will be glad to know that the
practice is getting much less universal
than it was a few years ago. There are
fewer enormous ranches now and less
need for branding than formerly, and,
added to this, there is decided prefer
ence in the trade for unbranded hides.
A brand on the hip or jaw is not so
much objected to as the large, insight
ly brand on the side, which renders val
ueless the best part of the hide. The
day of large, unsightly brands is GER
tainly past, and before long the prac-
tice will only be resorted to in cases of
absolute necessity, such cases becoming
more and more rare as large ranches
and unfcnced prairies become cut up
and reduced in area.
