Hawthorne's Literary Methods.

Ny father wrote principally in the
morning, with that absorption and regu-
larity which characterize the labor of
men who are remembered, writes Rose
Hawthorne Lathrop in profusely illus
trated article on My Fathers Literary
Methods" in ladies' Home Journal.
When his health began to show signs of
giving way, in 1861, it was suggested by
a relative whose intellect, strength OF will
and appetite for theories were OF equally
splendid proportions, that my father
only needed a high desk at which to
stand when writing, to be restored to all
his pristine vigor. With his usual toler-
ance of possible wisdom he permitted
such desk to be arranged in the tower
study at The Nayside": but with his
inexorable contempt for mistakes Of
Judgment he never, after brief trial,
used it for writing. Upon this simple
desk of walnut wood. of which he had
nothing to complain, although it barely
served its purpose, like most OF the mex
pensive objects about him. was a charm
ing Italian bronze inkstand-over whose
cover wrestled the infant Hercules in the
act of strangling a goose. My father
wrote with gold pen, and ! can hear
now. as it seems, the rapid rolling of his
chirography over the broad page.

TH1RrEEN-INCH GUN.
OniciaI Test of the First of the BIZ
Ordnance at Indian Head.

OficiaI Test of the First of the Big
Ordnance at Indian Head.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.-A distin-
guished party of public men and depart
mental officers and number of ordnance
experts accepted the invitation of the
Secretary of the Navy to visit the naval
ordnance proving grounds at Indian
Head to see the official test of the first of
the big thirteen-inch guns which have
been completed at the Government
works. This is the biggest gun ever
built in this country, and vast amount
of interest was manifested in seeing 1t
operated.
Preparatory to the test OF the big gun,
arrancements were made for test of
some projectiles from ten-inch gun.
THE first of these projectiles was a
Johnson cast steel fired point blank at a
Sbaat of arnlor OF Harveyized nickel
steel. placed at distance OF less than 700
yards from the mouth OF the gun. The
1roiectile penetrated the tweIye-lnch ar

The wonderful extension-ramrod was
brought into use to sponge the gun, and
a second charge was then inserted. this
time 4S2 pounds. The testing instrument
indicated an initial velocity of ], ,975 feet
per second.
Interested observers of the test were
the naval attaches of the embassies of
Great Britain, France, Germany and
Italy. the Russian and Japanese Lega-
tions.
After two shots from four-inch rife
with smokeless powder, the proiectile
irom which was dropped far up in the
channel of the Potomac, the tests were
over for the day.
There is no definite information obtain
able as to the exact cost of this piece of
ordnance, but it is estimated to cost
nearly 100000. 1t will require day or
Two more for estimates to be made of the
power OF the gun, from the results of to-
days tests.

CARLYLE AND TYNDALL
HuXley's Occupation During the Cruise
of the Rattlesnake.

Tyndall and | had long been jealous
students of Carlyles works. Starter Re-
sartuS' and the miscellaneous" were
among the few books devoured partly by
myself and partly by the mighty hordes
of cockrOacheS in my cabin during the
cruise of the Rattlesnake, and my sense
of obligation to their author was then, as
it remains, extremely strong. TyndalPs s
appreciation of the seer of Chelsea was
even more than enthusiastic, and in after
years assumed a character OF almost tilial
devotion.
The grounds of our appreciation, how
ever, were not exactly the same. My
friend, l think, was disposed to regard
Carlyle as a great teacher; l was rather
inclined to take him as a great tonic; as
source OF intellectual invigoration and
moral stimulus and refreshment, rather
than Of theoretical or practical guidance.
Half a century ago the evangelical reac-
ton which for time had braced English
society was dying out, and a scum OF rot
ten and hypOcrltlcal conventionalism
clogged art, literature, science and poll
tics. l might quarrel with something
every lew paragraphs, but passing from
the current platltudes to Carlyle's vigor-
Gus pages was like being transported
from the stucco, pavement and fog OF
London street to one OF his own breezy
moors. The country was full of bowl
ders and bogs, to be sure, and by no
means calculated for building leases.
but oh, the freshness and the freedom
of it
Our divergent appreciation of Carlyle
foreShadoWed the only serious strain to
which our friendship was ever exposed,
When the old Cavalier and Roundhead
spirit woke up all over England about
the Jamaica revolt and Governor Eyre.
l am afraid that, il things had been
pushed 10 eXtremitieS over that unfortu-
nate business each OF US would have been
capable OF sending the other to the block
But the sentence would have been ac-
companied by assurances of undimin-
lshed respect and affection; and | have
faith that we should not have spoiled
our lives by quarreling over the inevita-
BILE.
Carlyles extraordinary peculiarities of
style, even at his worst were not to me
the stumbling blocks which they often
proved 10 other people, who, in their irri-
tation, would talk of them as atfectations.
Even admitting them TO be indefensible.
it seems to me that. if he is chargeabIe
with affectation at all land L do not think
he isl, it is rather when he writes the
classical English, say, of the Life Of
Schiller" AS any one who ever heard
Carlyle talk knows, the style natural to
him, was that of 1.-The Diamond Neck
lace.'
These observations have bearing on
the adverse criticisms of like kind to
which Tyndall was sometimes subjected.
Modes OF speech and action which some
called mannerisms, or even affectations,
were, in fact, entirely natural, and showed
themselves in full force sometimes with
very droll effect, in the smallest gather
ing of intimate friends. or with one or
two on hillside, from whom abundant
chatf was the only response likely to
come.-Huxley III the Nineteenth Cent
ury.

THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.

1t VIII Produce Thirty Million Doll
lars More Than is Needed.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The estimates
OF the amount of revenue which the tariff
bill reported 10 the Senate will raise
show that the total amount will be about
1881 100000 This is reduction of be-
tween Sl3.0O00U0 and $14 10000 from the
estimates in the first bill reported to the
committee. The principal reduction is
made IN the internal revenue part of the
bill through the restoration of the present
tax rates ON domestic cigars and ciga-
rettes, which amounts TO loss of over
SlO,UOO.0O0. There will also be a falling off
on tlnplate, caused by changing the duty
on that importation from l I-l5 cents to |
cent pound. The change in the fruit
schedule, whereby bananas, pineapples
and cocoanuts are put on the dutiable
list, will make up the other principal
items OF loss. AS The bill stands, If the
estimate is correct, it will produce at least
S3O,VOO,OOO more OF revenue than will be
needed. The change made in the sugar
schedule will not cause showing in the
estimate different from the sub-commit-
tee bill, as the first estimate was made up
on sugar testing so fine.

Cleveland Listening to Arguments for

WASHINGTON, March 2I.-The Presi-
dent is carefully listening to the argu-
ments of the political and otherwise and
addresses to him regarding the seignior-
age bill. The best information obtainable
is that he has not yet made up his mind
what action to take. Messrs. Tracy,
Dunphy and other anti-silver Congress-
men say they believe the bill will be
vetoed. On the other hand, the Demo-
cratic Senators who voted for the bill are
generally very hopeful that the President
will sign it. The message which the
President sent to the New York delega-
ton, advising them not to come TO Wash
ington, they think indicates that he has
decided to approve the bill and does not
think it necessary to argue the point-a
view quite different from the New
Workers themselves. The President has
until the 30ths decide what he will do
with the bill.
