Mr. Surratt was numbered among those
COnfederates who never surrendered, Tor
when the news was received that Lee
had laid down his arms at Appomattox,
the entire company of which be was a
member fled into Mexico, their purpose
being to join Msximllian's forces during
the uprising in the latter country. Bnt

such treatment the company of Confed-
crates hurriedly took their departure.
From Mexico Mr.. Surrstt went to Eu.

year, and it was not until he returned to

The relation of the competitive instinct to
literature is one of those mysteries on which
some psychologist, not nsenStive TO the charm
of hUmOr. might compose Il diverting essay.
That authors compete with another i'm the
market just as mere ordinary human creatures
compete. would seem to be pretty conclusively
proved by the developments Of the last ten or
fifteen years in the manufacture of popular fic
tion. 1t is impossible to regard certain novels
as the fruit of anything save a resolution 70
cater to Il passing taste and beat the best
seller of the moment. Yet there must always
remain something incOngruOus and drOll about
the spectacle presented by an author working
:or any purpose beyond that of satisfying him
self. 1t is for this reason that the French
fashion Of Offering prizes for literary work al
ways strikes us as a little odd. NJ. FRANCOIS
C0ppee has just put some funds into the hands
of the Academic FRANCHISE and has laid upon
the Forty the burden of awarding a prize of
one thousand francs to the best of the poets
coming forward to claim this boon. Every two

poetry is always TO be admired. Yet, human
nature being what il is one can doubt for
the fraction Of a second that an immense
amount Of verse is going 10 get itself written
with close reference to the COppee prize. And
what quaint verse il will be!
