OLD PUBLISHING HOUSE SELLS ONE BRANCH -
ITS BUSINESS TO A RIVAL.
Colonel Harvey who is acting as the agent OF the
State Trust Company in the management or Har-
rer & Bros told Tribune reporter yesterday that
the famous old publishing house had sold to the
American Book Company, No. 100 Washington
Square East the publication rights OF its entire line
of college and high school textbooks. comprising
four hundred and fifty works. and including COM
plete classical series OF Greek and Roman litera-
ture, grammars, dictionaries ETC. The price Colo
mel Harvey did not care TO mention.
An officer Of the American Book Company said
the sale was made in accordance with the policy
OF looping off all Improbable branches of the Har-
pers, and the purchase made because his COM
pany could handle that line of books with profit.
1t was not large part OF the Harpers' business,
he said, more than one-hftieth OF the whole.
The consent Of the State Trust Company was
temporary receiver for Harper Bros. Justice
Gidersleeve. who made the order appointing the
trust company as receiver, also granted the appli-
cation for the voluntary dissolution OF the corpora
ton and appointed Francis c. Cantine as referee
TO take proof of the claims or the creditors. A
question to whether or not the State Trust
Company should act as receiver being corpora
ton. The consent disposes Of this matter.

An Old Enemy Of the South.

To the Editor: The old Confederate is
not yindidtive. He harbors no more re-
sentiment than seld-respect and patriot
ism call for. But when fate overtakes
one of his old Teyilers and defalners--
and Of late she has been kept pretty
busy oyerfaking them-he hasn't any less
respect for fate.
The worst enemy that the South ever
had was the publishing house OF Harper
and Bro. In the days of her sore need
it stickled at tnoth.mg THAT could encom-
pass her destruction. ISLANDERS, villifica-
tfOns reyilements, lies as base as the
devil ever prompted or tongue ever ut
tered formed the staple of its discourse
Where the South was concerned. 1t bred
and fcstered ii clique of authors that
poisoned the ear of the world so conn
pletely against us that 1t yet largely re-
mains dead to the truth.
Never Since Guttenburg gave the art to
the world has printing been put to viler
use than IN Harper's Weekly for 1861
to 1860. That Southern men should have
been struck at by fair means and foul
was to he expected. But Harper venom
stepped not at that. They knew chat the
flower of Southern civilization was held
could be shows to be but c1lalice for
Prison what must the branches and roots
be-
Casting truth and elecency to the winds
Southern women We're held up to the
world as beings to which Lncre-
tia B0rgia was a saint. Sober pictures
showed Them as fnIies stgiding over bat
tle-felds with cork screws pulling out the
eyes OF dying Federal soldiers The
whole world shuddered at the thought Of
Southern women writing on desks made
of the skeletons of the patriotic North
ern soldiers, the chapless and grinning
skulls by some e'devilish ingenuity"
being retained as an ornament thereto.
Meanwhile they drank from goblets made
from Yankee skulls, ATE cake from bask-
cts made of their ribs, adorned them
selves with necklaces Of their teeth, kept
themselves WaGm with furs made from
their boards and scalps, used their flesh
less hands for bell handles at their doors
and in short committed every horrible
atr0city that the minds of Harper's illus
traitors could conceive off, and their minds
were most dannably fertile in such con-
ceptions.
But to give even i'm barest outline an
account OF Harper maleyolence for what
the true Somtherner holds as highest
and hottest in ogr past would fill this
paper. have given only one illustration
Of it from which an idea Of the rest may
be formed.
They are a venonlous set of South hat
ers, those old Hampers or their publica-
tions belied them. Time has disposed Of
them. and now grim old ptniisher that lie
is. he Is dealing hard with the younger
generation now forming the present
house Of Harper & Bro. Creditors have
taken possession and henceforward HAIR
per 81 Bro. will in all probability be
merely a name under which Rockefeller
will pile up few more millions. And
