AN ENGLISH COUNTRY HOUSE.
Sir William Harcourt's Beautiful Seat Stands on the Site of an Old Castle.

From the London Sketch.
 "Malwood, Sir William Harcourt's beautiful seat near Lyndhurst, in the New Forest, stands on the site of an old castle in which, it is said. the Rcd King breakfasted on the morning of the day when he rode down into an adjacent dell there to meet his death at the hands of Sir Walter Tyrell. The house stands on one of the most elevated spots in the demesne which the Conqueror formed for the purpose of the chase. and though completely environed by trees and tan gled wildwood delightful peeps and vis- tas are opened out by the cutting away here and there of obstructing boughs and foliage. On the north lie the wide stretchos of Salisbury plain, on the south the waters of the English channel, on the east gently undulating land. and on the west the wild forest scenery.
 "Malwood" is furnished with excellent taste, perhaps the most iotable feature being the library Here blue books abound for Sir William takes lively interest in all sections of politics, home and foreign; but general literature Is al- so well represented and the statesman, 1t is said. often seeks relaxation in a good novel. The grounds are not large, bcirg cnly some three acres in extent, bu; they are well laid out and contain building irswhich q sort of happy fam ily' of birds are accommodated Within about half a mile from the house stands a model farm of fourteen acres which Sir William holds on lease from the crown

A Poem by Father and Son.

A poem written fin collaboration by Dr. Henry Van Dyke and his sixteen year old son Tertius appears in Harper's Magazine for August with the title Indian Summer. and in connection with it pr. Van Dyke has written the editor of Harper's as fol- lows; Among some scraps that my boy (sixteen) had left by accident in his desk. l found parts of lines l and ?, and the whole of lines to 9. He had given the thing up. But it seemed to me SO good that lines 10 to IS came almost of them selves" The poem is a remarkable in- stance of harmony in collaboration both as to thought and expression.

aR. SHAN BULLOCK. th

E R. SHAN F. BULLOCK, the author M of "The Squireen," tells an anus ing tale of the ingratitude of the newspaper that had the honor to print his first literary efforts. County papers in England and Ireland do not have to go very far or pay very much for the lit- erary matter that fills their columns There are usually in the county plenty or educated men with literary aspirations who wish to see their "stuff' in print to furnish all the matter that the paper IS willing to use. 4,lr. Bullock contributed 10 his local paper under these highly ad- vantageous terms, while he lived in ire- land: and when he went to London, wrote letters and articles continuously, which the editor kindly published But MT. Bull locks articles grew important, and the space they filled in the paper become so large that he theueat possibly they might have some peeuniary value. He suggested this idea to the editor of the paper, and received such a fiat refusal to his implied request that he ceased his contributions to the paper entirely. "Evldently my coun- try sheet had no kind feelings for it's lit- erarv nursling," says MT. Bullock I'm agine my surprise when my first book, The Awkward Squad was published, to find that this paper, the publisher of all my carly efforts, gave up several columns to slating and drubblng 1t In the worst possible manner.
 An interesting bit of history lies be- hind the labor conditions among the min- CTS of Colorado, as shown by Frank l.. Mason in his novel, ''The Blue Goose" MT Mason was for awhile resident in the Colorado mining district, and had ample experience with labor troubles. The red element in the mining districts of the west. he declares, is directly connected with the Molly Maguire' movement which terrorized the coal mining regions of Pennsylvania a couple of decades ago. i'When the Molly Maguires' were broken up," he says the disorganized fragments drifted to the Occur d'Alene districts of Idaho, and inaugurated there the same reign of terror enacted in Pennsylvania. But they over-stepped themselves, and the gang was broken up again by the fed eral authority. The leaders and many fol- lowers went to Colorado, and one of the largest mining centers invaded by them was that of San Juan courty, in which the scene of The Blue Goose is laid. They continue there in their old game of stir ring up trouble" Curiously enough, since the book was written there has been a strike in the district, somewhat similar in its features to that described by Mir. Ma son.

 "'rhe Tender assion,' certainly the young man replied, smiling, but at the same time securing his memory for some clue that would help him locate the book. Into the Publishers Index, catalogues, pamphlets ane announcements he dove but no such title was there.

First Americans to Prohibit Slavery.

The first Americans to prohibit slavery in this country were the backswoodsmen of Vermont, who incorporated this rule in the constitution of TIT. which estab- lished Vermont as an independent repub- lie Mayo w. Hazeltine, the well known author and critic. contributes to Harper's for August an historical account of the time when Vermont was self-governing republic, possessing a unique council of thirteen -censors, who were chosen by the people every seven years for the purpjose of inquiring if the constitution had been violated The article is illustrated by por- traits and rare documents.
