CURRENT EVENTS.
Sketch Of TX Marvel.

Donald Grant Mitchell, or elk
Marvel" who died at New Haven.
Conn, Tuesday, was in a small group
of American writer's who were recog-
nized fifty years ago as masters of
English styles.
Two slender volumes, THE Rev.
cries of a Bachelor" and Dream
Life" made his reputation, ami since
had earned for him the affection Of
even generations Of readers.
For more than half a century he
had lived at Edgewood. on the out
skirts OF New Haven, devoting him
self to his faneies and to agriculture.
Occasionally his fancies found
their way into print. to be welcomed
appreciatively. Poets and statesmen
VISITED him and Yale undergraduates
made literary pilgrimages to Edge
wood at frequent intervals.
Mitchell was born in Norwich.
Conn. on April IL. 1922. His father
was the Rev. Alfred NJ. Mitchell, his
grandfather Stephen Mix Mitchell, a
distinguished jurist He was pre-
pared for college in DIR. John Halls
school at Ellington, Conn, ana en-
tered Yale, from which he graduated
in 1871.
Poor Health in Early Life.
In poor health, he spent the three
years after graduation on his ma
ternal grandfather's farm, at Salem.
Conn. Agriculture interested him
then as II has since. He wrote let
tiers to the Albany Cu!tivator, and
won a prize given by the New York
Agricultural society for a plan of
farm buildings.
He went to Europe in 1874 and
remained a year. He returned to
New York to study law. but brancheu
out into literary work. He gathered
his impressions on his trip abroad
into his first book, Fresh Clean
ings; or, A New Sheaf from the Old
Fields OF Continental Europe" In
1S4S he went abroad again. and was
in Paris the summer the revolution
was on. His experience in Paris were
published the next year, under the
title OF THE Battle Summer"
Upon his return to New York ne
began the publication of THE Lore
nette l." a weekly periodical which.
issued later in book form, attracted
much attention for its brilliancy.
Creation Of His Fame.
The year 1850 made ak Marvel"
famous. THE Reyeries OF a Bache-
Tor" was published and struck new
responsive note in American litera-
ture. Dream Life" appeared a year
later. The tender sentiment OF these
two books. the deicacy of their die
ton. the vein of hazy Renaissance
running through them made wide
and intimate appeal.
