How A Great Story Was
Written.

The history of any great and sue
cessful undertaking is always inter-
estiug, therefore at the risk of being
accused of violating personal conf
dence, we tell our readers Of the
origin of a famous story of the late
war. The publishers of the Chicago
Ledger wanted a story which, be-
sides being of great merit, should
wildly describe the thrilling events
of the battle of Gettysburg and the
siege of Richmond. One author af-
ter another failed in the work, and
at last the famous St, George Rath
burue was approached on the sub.
ject. He demanded a fabulous price
for the work, but it was paid, and
the story vas actually written to
order. 1t is however, printed under
the pen name of Hugh Allen" 1t
is declared by critics, who have been
shown the advance sheets, to be the
best story Of the war eve written.
The first instalment of ii appeared
in No. 8 Vol. xiii of the Ledger,
and at once attracted the greatest
attention. A. private letter from
the editor informs Us that in order
to reach all class Of people, the pub
fishers of the Ledger will mail The
opening chapters of the story free of
charge to all who seud in their
names at once. The Ledger is a
great paper, and each week gives
story meter to make a great book.

Drilling at Jefferson Island,

Another well company is making
preparations for continuing the bor-
ing, begun at two or three different
periods, on Jefferson's Island. More
than a year ago, Mr.. Jefferson con-
tracted with a we'll company to drill
five hundred feet On his Island, with
a view of learning if there be mineral
on that portion Of the place, and if
not, to learn something of the for
nation of the Island.
The company a year ago went

other left off and finish the contract.
