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 in the public streets 1 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. Happenings Here and There. H. G. Cummings of Griffin was shot recent ly by a negro named John Willis putting out one eye. J. J.

What is this feeling of vague uneasiness—this huanting something that restlessly pervades my breast?—[N-Y. Ledger Heroine.] It is a call from the kitchen. Whenever von fell this “huant ing something” coming on, go and take a turn at the dishes. A young lady of Clinton, Iowa sent twenty- five cents and a postage stamp in reply to an ad vertisement of “ How to make a good impres sion,” and recieved for an answer, “Sit down in a pan of dough.” , An eccentric Jersey farmer has named his girl-baby Malaria.

Let’s see—hay-fever, Eliza beth, and lectures down from $500 to $300 a night After describing Mrs. Hayes’ costume worn at her silver wedding, Fay says: “Mr Hayes wore a look of supreme content” We should consider that a rather light and airy suit for this season of the year. The New Orleans Picayune says of the Yale boobies: “The highest sense of humor develop ed by Yale students is the stealing of a poor tradesman’s sign and putting it up in the wrong place. The young men laugh heartily when they have misplaced a sign, and the action fills their intellectual wants.” “Some little time ago,” relates “Aristarchus,” in the Whitehall Beview, “I was instrumental in getting a cook for a newly married friend. I did not often see my friend, and last week, upon meeting a sister of the cook, I asked her how her relative liked her place. ‘Oh, very well, sir! The master and mistress are quite gentlefolk; they don’t know anything.’ ” Beware of pleasantries in addressing strang 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 you going to the piggery ?” referring to |a ball which was going to be given by a well-known family of Hogges. “I am one of the litter,” was the smart reply, the young lady being herself a Miss Hogge.

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.
