THE WORK OF YEARS.
How Manuscripts of Famous Authors Have
Been Lost In Flames.


A catastrophe recently happened to an
American author which, though deplora
bic, is by no means unprecedented A
manuscript of his, the work of years, was
accidentally destroyed by fire This is q
danger which it is impossible-in a COM
mercial sense-to insure oneself against,
for as the elder Disraeli remarks in his
cynical manner Though the fire offices
will insure books, they will not allow au-
thors to value their own manuscript" The
only safe way with these treasures is to
have them copied, chapter by chapter, by
the typewriter, but as the risk is almost
infinitesimal no one thinks it worth while
to guard against it.
Thirty years of literary labor of Ben
Jonson were thus consumed. 1t is proba-
BILE that he used strong language, but
could hardly have taken the matter so
much to heart as a scholar of the fifteenth
century, who, driven to madness by sim
liar loss, knocked at the church door with
his head), and called Providence to witness
that all relations between him and it were
sundered. Hear what | say, for l am in
earnest and resolved If by chance, at the
point of death, l should be SO weak as to
address you, do not pay any attention."
This is probably unique as an uttcrance of
passion. When the commentator of Arts
totle found his house on fire. he rushed
into the street, calling out the name of his
precious manuscript, the danger to which
he fondly thought would excite the fire
men to supcrhunan exertion. 1 have of
ton thought that the loss of that manu-
script of Carlyles had something to do
with his subsequent i'll temper and bad
manners. He affected to take it philosoph-
ically, which always drives a misfortune
in and plays the deuce with the liver

Editor Of Wdtchman:,- While passing
through this city l learn that my name has
been rather freely used Of late in connection
with roubles in Berlin. Troubles indeed
they are, myself and family being chiefly
burdened by them. The time is not yet
ripe for my explanation, it may be forth
coming when convenient. In the mean
time the wise man will be he who says and
writes the least touching nay name, unless
he is eager to spend money or act on the de-
fensive in the courts. 1 have q few credit.
ors in your city, but they need not feel
alarmed. Your merchants ave frequently
complimented me upon my promptness in
settling my accounts. My financial cares
are the least of my trials at present. In
two or three weeks every bill will be paid,
and that without asking discount. The
troubles that nave overtaken me are more
the result of my misfortune than my fault,
and they leave me neither a villain nor a
rogue. l shall be found ready to respond to
name whenever it is called.
