DUMAS ON SNAKES.
Characteristic Story of the Impe-
cunfous French Author.

cunfous French Author.
When NJ. de villemessant was found
ing LIE Grand Journal, he wrote to Du-
mas, asking for his assistance. Dumas
At once prenared a romance in six vol
umes. In the meantime the editor
asked him for some articles or cause
ries, which were to be published imme-
diately. 81 have the very thing!" cried
Dumas. II was Just about to start on
a whole series about snakes" "on

my life studying them. There's not a
soul who knows anything about the

WINGED, agreed to accept this article

all. Dumas is very likely to hit on
something effective" "If you want a
little FASH in advance, you can draw on
me-" 81 have plenty" said Dumas. "for
the first time in my life. ! confess: but,
still, l really have enough"
They parted. and the editor returned
TO his office. On arriving there he
found Alexander's secretary waiting
for him with the following paper,
ready signed:
Received the sum of 30 napoleons on
account of my story. A hearty squeeze
of the hand. A D.
The next day the secretary arrived
with the first feuilleton and a letter.
which ran:

The very same evening came a dis
patch from Havre:

thousand thanks. A. D.
An hour later came another:
My Dear Boy-I should have said 10.

The feuilleton Is on the road.
A. DUMAS
The finale of this capital story is no
less characteristic. The feuilleton ar
rived by post on the following day and
was found to contain exactly four
lines Of Dumas composition, two at
the beginning and two at the end of
the paper. Thus II a IL II copy from

The gentleman is said to be a colored

The eternal distinction between good
and evil, right and wrong, is not i'm.
pugDed by the fact that We cannot al
ways make IT, or that the moral con.
ceptions uf different historic eras vary.
So do conceptions in physics, in philoso-
ply, and in religion. The actual truth
ever persists behind them, and its TEN.
porary combination with human error is
but a necessary incident in AN evolving
humanity. As we emerge more into the
sunlight the great facts and laws Of the
moral world will become more patent,
and we shall clearly see that they have
real existence and are eternal ar God
1t is not they who shift, and change. and
dissolve; it is our hecluuded view OF
them which We mistake for the change,
reality And when at last the
clear-cu system stands disclosed, we
shall wonder that We ever supposed
wrong a phase OF right, and evil Il
form OF good. FuLLERros.
