to a number of us who were so asso-

of state. The speaker called atten-

James T. Fields In 1879 Predicted
Writers Familiar With Western
Life Would Soon DispIace the
New England School.

Who hears today of James Thomas
Fields? Yet in what has been termed
the golden age of American literature.
he was a famous man, albeit his fame
was not SO great as that of some OF
the many men whose publisher he
was-Longfellow, Hawthorne, Emer-
son, Lowell, Holmes. Whittier. But
he was not book publisher only; he
was writer and lecturer of wide rep
utation. and a famous editor. After
James Russell Lowell resigned the
editorship of the Atlantic Monthly,
which was published by Mr.. Fields's
house, Mr.. Fields himself assumed
the editorial direction Of that famous
periodical That occurred in 1852. and
for eight years thereafter he held the
post, although at first his purpose in
taking the position involved no more
than temporary editing until he could
find some one competent to fill Low
ellis place. From the day in 1888.
when he became publisher, until his
death in 1881, he had more intimate
personal associations with the great
literary men and women of the United
other American, and, perhaps. any
English speaking person.
When ] met Mr.. Fields, in 1879, two
years before his death. his long beard,
quite the beard of a prophet. was
streaked with gray. as was his abun'
dant head of hair. His complexion
was fair; his eyes seemed to be dark

ing of his eyelids, it was almost i'm

was dark brown or deep gray. A slen-

The Robert E. Lees Pilot Wheel.


The pilot wheel which guided the
steamboat Robert E. Lee in the
famous race with the steamer Nat
chez in 1870, when the Lee made the
record on the Mississippi between
New Orleans and st. Louis, is now
being used on the steamer Nashville,
plying the Cumberland.
The old nautical relic was recov-
cred from the City of Providence, to
which steamer 1t had been removed
from the Lee. The wheel is over ten
feet in diameter, more than thirty
two in circumference and is made OF
walnut and cherry. 1t is of the
double circle type of wheel, with two
circles of stays around the spokes,
which are inlaid with two rows of
highly polished Eastwood. The wheel
is in an excellent state of preserva-
ton and apparently is as sound as
when it guided the Robert E. Lee to
victory in the famous old steamboat
days on the Mississippi. The record
run was made with Captain Cannon
in command of the Lee, and as the
