The LUCK OF ROARING CAMP.
The First Publication of the Sketch
Which Made Bret Harte Famous.

The First Publication of the Sketch
Which Made Bret Harte Famous.
In July, 1868, when the Overland
Monthly was founded. Bret Harte became
its editor. RounsevilIe Wildman, the
editor of the Overland Monthly, new
series, has recently written: when An
ton Roman made up. his mind to establish
a monthly magazine in connection with
his publishing and book.selling business
he did so with the advice of Noah
Brooks, Charles Warren Stoddard, B. B..
Redding, w. C.. Bartlett and others,
for most of whom he had already pub
lished books. When the question. of a
suitable editor arose Stoddard recon-
mended Bret harte, then an almost I'M
known writer on the Golden Era, at that
time popular weekly. Bret Harte ac-
copied with some misgivings as to finan-
cial matters, but was treasured when Ro-
man showed him pledges of support by
advertising patronage UP TO 5000 onth,
which he had secured in advance" In
the August number of that MAGAZINE ap-
peared 1.-THE Luck of Roaring Camp" If
Mr.. Harte had been in doubt as to his vo-
cation before, that doubt was now dis
PEELED forever. Never was more emphatic
or unquestionable literary success. That
success began in the composing-room,
when a female compositor revolted at the
unaccustomed com bination of mental
force. virility and originality. No doubt
it was all very sudden and unexpected; it
shook the editorial and com posing rooms,
the business Office, and limited number
of worthy people who had seen 1.-THE
Luck" in manuscript, as they never had
been shaken save by the notorious Cali
fornia earthquake. The climax was pre-
cipitated when the justly indignant
editor, whose motives. literary judgment
and good taste had been iInpeached, de-
clared that "The Luck of Roaring Camp"
should appear.in the very next issue OF
the Overland Monthly or he would resign
his Office. Wisdom finally prevailed the
article appeared, the Overland's success
was assured and the editor was famous

rainfall of melted snow in inches and hundredths
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid
lines connect poin of equal air pressure; iso-.
therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature The
word t'high" means high baroInetric pressure and
is usually omDanied by fair weather: "low"
refers to low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
LOWS usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast and the isobars extend
north and south along the coast rain is probable;
but when the '"lOw" Is incosed with sobars of
marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is improb-
. able. With "highH in the vicinity of IDAHO and
the pressure falling to the California coast warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter. The reverse OF these conditions
will produce an opposite result
