Gossip About Literary Folks.
The Wbono Leo.—Goldsmith’s fond belief
that be possessed a knowledge of medicine is
known to all. Possibly, it hastened his death,
for he would prescribe for himself. Eugene
Sue labored under a delusion of the same kind;
only for his there was some slight ground in
fact, the author of the “ Mysteries of Paris "
haring actually been a regimental surgeon in
his youth. It must be admitted, too, that a
droll aneodote' about Sue’s performances in his
later years indicates rather that he was some
times very drunk than that he utterly lacked
professional skill.
He had one day dined with his friend Bomieu
at the Cafe de Paris, and had dined well—in
fact, they had both dined well; and as they
sauntered along the Boulevards, by way of aid
ing digestion, Bomieu slipped, fell down, and
hurt his leg. Sue called a cab, put his friend
in, and drove home, where he dressed the
wound. He then put Bomieu to bed, and set
tled himself into an arm-chair for the night
Next morning he hastened to examine the
wound, only to discover that he had tended the
wrong leg.
Mr. Howells lectured in Hartford lately.
Mark Twain introduced him by saying: “The
gentleman who is now to address you is the
editor of the Atlantic Monthly. He has a repu
tation in the literary world which I need not
say anything about. I am only here to back up
his moral character.” This characteristic speech
brought out a round of applause. Mr. Howells,
with a quiet smile, addressed himself to the
reading of his manuscript on Gibbon, from
which he scarcely raised his eyes during the
reading.
The Author of ‘Three Feathers ” is a Sea
of Trouble.—Here is a pathetic story, which ap
pears to be told in good faith, concerning Mr.
William Black, the novelist. While staying at
Odau, last summer, he felt inclined for a swim
one morning, and selecting the quietest nook he
could find along the beach, he laid his clothes
carefully under a rock, and proceeded to eojoy
his sea bath. Presently a young lady, with one
of his own novels in hand, came walking along
the beach, and absorbed and unconscious, sat
herself down close by the unseen garments.
Poor Mr. William Black dpi not know what to
do. He made a noise with the water, bobbed
up and down, and tried by every modest means
in his power to indicate that be was in the vicin
ity, and not in full dress. He was ashamed to
to stand up and shout, and hardly ventured, in
deed to show more than the top of his head, So
absorbing, however, was his own story that he
could not attract attention. He had never be
fore wished that his literary power was less, but
at that moment his fondest hope was that he
had written at least one dull chapter in his vol- j
ume. That wish became an inspiration, a de-,
sire, begot in agony, when presently there came >
along that way, a short-sighted sportsman carry-1
ing a gun, who, seeing something strangely act- j
ing in the water near at hand, thought it must j
be game of some kind or other, and presented j
his gun to shoot. Mr. Black could not stand
this. Forgetting the lady, with one of his own
novels in hand, he startled both her and the
6potsman, as, dinging himself bolt upright,
he lifted his arms above his head, and cried
with pathetic rapidity, “Pray don’t shoot; please
don’t shoot! I’m a man ! I’m a man ! ” The
lady by the seashore took the hint and disap
peared.
The Shy Poet Laureate.—Tennyson is sensi
tively reluctant to be lionized. An extreme ex
ample is given in the following true incident:—
A youDg lady was walking in the country lanes
close to one of the Laureate’s residences, when
she met a gentleman, who at her approach de
liberately took out a handkerchief and spread it
over his face. Having had no intention of star
ing at the stranger, she marvelled at the evi
dent measure of defence, and hurried past, not
without trepidation; but the daughter of Eve, of
course, turned round before she was out of sight
and beheld Mr. Tennyson going on his way un-
veiled.
Home and Field.
Sheep raising in the south. —I am positively
certain, if I had the control of a large tract of
land, that, without the aid of a single whiteman
and without any assistance in buying ot selling,
I could stock these deserted plantations with
sheep
and put them in charge of the negroes, so as to
have sheep husbandry established on 40,000
acres, and in twenty years make more money
than A. T. Stewart, Jacob Astor and the Vander
bilts combined, for I would extend till millions
would be made annually. There would be a
great advantage here over the English colony of
Australia, yet there sheep are more numerous
than in this much earlier settled country.
Statistics have proved that in the South during
the last three years wool has paid 60 per cent,
for growing, while cotton has not paid more
than five to seven per cent., and then it must be
recollected the sheep have been managed on
such a poor, miserable system that double this
amount of profit conld be made by an enlight
ened method of treatment, and mutton of the
very best quality sold annually, which would
enhance profits far beyond anything the present
Western sheep-owners have any idea of; mutton
and wool would produce more millions than
cotton ever did.—Ex.
The Mannebs of the Motheb mould the
Ohild.- There is no disputing this fact; it
shines in the face of every little child. The
coarse, bawling, scolding woman will have
coarse, vicious, bawling, fighting children. She
who cries on every occasion, “I’ll box your
ears—I’ll slap your jaws—I’ll break your neck,”
is known as thoroughly through her children as
if her womanly manners were openly. displayed

These remarks were suggested by the conver
sation in an omnibus—that noble institution
for the students of men and manners—between
a friend and a schoolmaster. Our teacher was
caustic, mirthful and sharp. His wit flashed
like the polished edge of a diamond, and kept
the “ bus ” in a “ roar. ” The entire community
of insiders—and whoever is intimate with these
conveyances can form a pretty good idea of our
numbers, inclusive of the “one more”so well
known to the fraternity—turning their heads,
eyes and ears one way, and finally our teacher
said: “ I can always tell the mother by the boy..
The urchin who draws back with doubled fists
and lunges at his playmate if he looks at him
askance, has a very questionable mother. She
may feed him and clothe him, cram him with
sweetmeats, and coax him with promises, but if
she gets mad she fights. She will pull him by
the jacket; she will give him a knock in the
back; she will drag him by the hair; Bhe will
call him all sorts of wicked names; while pas
sion plays over her red face in lambent flames
that curl and writhe out at the corners of her
eyes.
“And we never see the courteous little fellow
with smooth locks and gentle manners, in whom
delicacy does not detract from courage or man
liness, but we say, 'That boy’s mother is a true
lady.’ Her words and her ways are soft, loving,
and quiet. If she reproves, her language is,
*my son,’—not, ‘you little wretch—you plague
of my life—you torment—you scamp.’
“She hovers before him as the pillar of light
before the wandering Israelite, and her beams
are reflected in his face. To him the word
mother is synonymous with everything pure,
1 beautiful.

FUN FLASHES.
What is this feeling of vague uneasiness—this

The New Orleans Picayune says of the Yale
boobies: “The highest sense of humor develop

their intellectual wants.”
“Some little time ago,” relates “Aristarchus,”

how her relative liked her place. ‘Oh, very
well, sir! The master and mistress are quite
gentlefolk; they don’t know anything.’ ”

ers. Punch tells an aneodote of a yonng man
at a dance introduced to a partner, whose name
he did not catch, and to whom he said, “Are

(a) Mr. Atkinson considers this the move, and that it
should ensure the game for the defence. Why the
“Mnzio’’ is not played in matches has always been a mys
tery to us, and indicates it as s weak game, and compro

TWO SPLENDID ORANGE
PLANTATIONS.
AND ELEGANT HOMES IN FLORIDA.
One of these a beautiful place known : s
ELTINfiOWAN,
is in Sumter county, Florida, two miles east of its county
site, Leesburg. It is situated on a kind of peninsula,
between Lakes Harris and Griffin, has 190 acres of land,
a modern cottage residence of Eve rooms, with hall and
handsome verandahs, fronting Lake Griffin, and com
manding a lovely view of the lake and oi several hundred
orange trees, many in fall bearing, also magnolias and
other forest trees. In the rear, in fall view of the resi
dence, and situated on the regular public highway, is a
grove of about 2,000 orange and lemon trees, mostly eight
years old, many hanging full of rich fruit, and all soon to
be in bearing. They are choice seedlings, healthy and
luxuriant.
Near the house are also two hundred banana trees,
many bearing. No description can convey «n idea of the
picturesque beauty of Ellangowan-its site, an elevated
plateau, overlooking that sheet of silver—lovely Lake
Griffin—with its islands and jutting headlands, and its
glearning, changeful waters. Not alone does this add
immeasurably to the beauty of the place, but this exten
sive body of warm water (12 miles in length) gives com
plete protection to the fruit groves, so much so that
during last winter—the coldest ever known here—there
was not the slightest damage done by the cold to any
tree or plant.
The price of this place is $13,000. Terms easy.
SECOND PLANTATION.
Hardly less desirable is a farm in the Ft. Dade Settle
ment, Hernando county, Florido, containing 210 acres of
fiuest hammock land, equally adapted for the culture of
cotton, corn, sugar-cane, or' fruits, It has an excellent
plain country dwelling houseof four room*, a store house
—a good stand for merchandizing—and all necessary out
buildings. It bas fifty acres of cleared land in high culti
vation, 25 orange trees bearing and nearly ready to bear,
and six hundred seedling trees, 3 years old. Good many
oranges sold from the farm this year. This place is pecu
liarly adapted to the culture of oranges and the raising of
stock. It is surrounded by a number of small grassy
prairies that are the fiuest range for horses, cattle and
hogs in Florida. Excellent society, two churches, aud a
large Seminary (Ft. Dade) and stores, mills, etc. The
price of this place is $2,300.
SEASIDE HOME.
Beautifully and healthfully situated on St. Joseph’s Bay,
near the mouth of Anclote River, Hernando, Florida, is
the third farm, of 40 acres of pine land. 20 being cleared:
good, new three-roomed frame dwelling, kitchen and crib;
250 orange trees—fifteen of which are bearing, one him
dred nearly ready to bear; dates and other tropical fruits
a good harbor with a number of vessels always to be seen
engaged in fishing, sponging, etc., to which surplus fruits
and vegetables can be sold at good prices; a good neigh
borhood, with churches convenient. This place is per
fectly healthy, and the bleakness is effectually cut off by
the Anclote Keys—five miles from shore. Price $1,300.
Persons wishing to purchase either of these three de
sirable farms, will please apply in person or by letter to
