Where the Author Found Ills In
spiration—-Interest Jna Anecdotes of
Marie Dttpleaata.
Paris Letter to Boston Herald.
The first volume of the “Theatre Com-
plel” of Alexandre Dumas fils—the Edi
tion des Comediens—which is now being
published without being offered for sale,
and of which only ninety-nine numbered
copies are to be printed, has just come
from tho presses of a house in the prov
inces.
It is a very handsome volume, consist
ing of a preface and notes of a carious,
private and touching nature, and the two
pieees, “La Dame aux Camelias* and
“Diane de Lys.”
This work, which is dedicated to the
“interpreters of my pieces,” and which
the author begs them to accept “as a sou
venir of a common work, of emotions and
straggles that we have shared, and as a
feeble testimony of the gratitude of the
author,” this editiou, I say, will some
day be the despair of the bibliophiles. It
will be precious, not only on account of
its rareness, its paper and its typography,
but also on account of the “cotes,” in
which Dumas gives to his friends the
hitherto unknown details and the old
souvenirs connected with the history of
bis works. From this new efli£Sn 1 take
the following description of how Dumas'
chef d’ccnvre originated:
“On one of the fine days in September,
1844,1 had gone to SU German-en-layo to
see my father, and on the way I overtook
Eugene Dejazet, ifcc son of tho great ac-
"■ess^ We were both seated on horse-
jack, and were laughing and chatting as
we galloped our two steeds that had been
hired from Ravelet, whom all those of my
generation have known.
“We traversed that fine forest of St.
Germain, which could relate so many in
teresting stories, if. one could only under
stand and translate all that the leaves
whisper in tho first breezes of autumn.
“We had returned to Paris for dinner,
and we had gone into tho theatre of the
Varieties, where we had taken seats in
the orchestra.
“The avant scene of the rez-de-ebanzee
(lower box) on the right of the actors was
occupied by Marie Dnplessis. She was
Jflhe, or at least one saw nobody but her
Fjing between a bouquet and a bag of
.r ontons, smelling the one and mnnebing
the other, not listening much to the play,
looking in every direction through her op
era glasses, exchanging.smiles with some
three or four of our neighbors, and from
time to time leaning back to converse
with the person in the back part ot the
box, whom none of us saw. This Indi
vidual was no less a personage than tho
LBuasUn Counts., who was later to
; as a model for the Dnc de Man-
Dto add that the story
lg, consumptive girl, a sesem-
tbom the Duke lindf in Marie
I is a pure invention. The
^withstanding his great age, did
J afEdipus, look for an Antigone
in Mary Duplessig, but, like David, look
ing for a Batbsbeba.
••Well, Marie Duplessis was making all
aorta of telegraphic signals to a fat woman
with a florid complexion and a loud toil
ette, who was making as much display a3
she could in the proscenium box opposite
that ot my future heroine. .
“This good woman, who had beside her
a female with an- air of stupidity and a
chlorotic and anxious manner, whom she
was probably trying to start on a fast life,
was a certain Ciemence Pr 1, a mod
iste, who occupied apartments at that
time in the boulevard tie la .Madeline, in
tho Cite Vende, in the house adjoining
that in which Marie Duplessis occupied
tho entresol.
“A strange fact! this woman, Pr 1,
after all sorts of adventures which it will
be useless to relate, as it will be easy to
guess them—adventures to which, shortly
before her death, a condemnation for
leading minor children astray put an end
to—this woman some fifteen years after
this first meeting was playing the roles of
dueeno at tho theatre of Montmarte, and
she actually played there in La Damnaux
Camelias the role of Prudence Duvernoy,
of which she was my living model. She
was so perfectly poor as an actress that,
although she was herself the person whom
she was representing, her shamelessness
and her souvenirs did not help her.
Which proves how greatly superior art is
in certain circumstauces to nature.
Eugene Dejazet knew Mine. Pr 1,
Mine. Pr tkuew
mil IK UUI'I.KSSIS,
whom I wished to know, hut, I must say
it, without in the least foreteeing the li
terary influence that she was to have on
my life.
Eugene went to inform M’lle Pr—t of
my desire, and as she was a born go-be
tween, it was arranged that we shonld go
to her house after the theatre, and that, If
the Count did not accompany Marie Du
plessis any farther than to her door, she
would receive us for a few minutes.
The whole first act of the piece, except
so far as the farewell of St. Gaudeus and
Olympe is concerned, actually took place
as it is represented on the stage. The
manner in which an entrance is effected
into the apartments of the heroine was tho
same; the manner in which M. de Var-
vllle is got rid of, who was there when we
went in, whose features and real name I
must have retained the recollection, than
is tbs play.
The imagination of a writer of twenty-
three years of age had only to condense,to
pnt into relief, to poetize the facts and the
emotions which a whole generation, or
each generation for thousands of years
past, will to a greater or less extent, find a
picture of itseit.
“M. Bosquet has published In the Re'vgne
des Deux Mondes a Japanese drama,
which is 305 years old, aud which is noth
ing else than the ‘Dame aux Camelias.’
I bad not seen it when I wrote my Pari
sian drama, but this drama is to be fonnd
and always will be found in all conntries
of the world in which courtesans and
young men abound.
St. Faudens existed. Ho w&3 a certain
Baron de G., a very wealthy man, mar
ried, and the father of a family. Did
not all at once throw himself at tho ago
of forty-five, without there having been
anything to give warning of tLo catastro-
B e, into this world where he had never
fore set his foot ?
He was present at all tho performances
of the piece, always occupied the samo
seat in the orchestra, and eveiy evening
he 6ent a bouquet of wbito camelias to
Mme. Doclie.
“He was a man of esprit, with a slight
defect in his speech, speaking in what one
may call a side tone. He recognized him
self In my character.
“ ‘It is I,’ said he to me, ‘whom yon
have represented in Saint Gaudcns. I am
not angry with you for It. It amuses me
very much, and I come to hear myself ev
ery evening,’
“The nature of the illness and of the
death are altered. The diary in tho nov
el, the return of Armand in the piece are
imaginary.
<T had lost sight of Mary Duplessis for
a long time when on my return from
tfpaiu I heard of her death in Marseilles.
soon as I arrived, I hastened to her
apartmeut where the sale of her furniture
was to take place.”
NOTHING COULD DE MODE ASTONISH
ING
than the romantic histories of these two
comedies in the “Edition des Comediens.”
Take “La Dame aux Camelias.” It was
written at Kemilly, a suburb of Paris, in
the snmmer of 1840, in barely eight days,
on all the scraps ot paper which the au
thor found lying on his table. The second
act was written in one day between 12
and 8 o’clock. The piece was to have
been according to the Idea of Antony Be-
rand, who saw an affaire in it, a melo
drama for the Ambigu. Dumas preferred
to extract only a drama from bis novel.
Wheat he piece was written It was im-
possiole to get it played. The Gymnase
and the Vaudeville both refused it. Mile.
Page, she died only the other day at Neu-
llly, to whom Dumas took it, would not
receive the author. The great Dejazet
found the piece touching, but said she
could only play it in the costumes of the
time of Louis XV. Rachel, who made an
appointment with Dumas to listen to a
reading of bis work, left word that she
was not at home, that she bad gone to
friend’s house lo play loto.
“Let my young irionds remcmember
this,” says Dumas, when one wishes to
make one’a way one supposes that the pro-
tection of a master may bo of use with
director. It was the son of M. Alexandre
Dumas, the first dramatic author of bis
time; one could not have a more ex
pert or a more powerful protector. It
was of no me. 1 was repulsed every
where, as though I had just come from
the country with an unknown name.”
The piece, however, was near being
performed at the Theatre Hislorique, and
would indeed have been played there as
early as 1849, but for the closing of the
bouse.
This is the story. •
Dumas fils had written his play without
having said anything about it to bis fa
ther. He never dared to show his Ms. to
to the author of “Antony,” and of “Made
moiselle de Belle Isle.”
Chance willed It that, having taken bis
work to Viciot, the copyist of his father,
be was in the act of giving him directions
about the work and of keeping it a most
irofound secret, when who should come
but Dumas pere.
Permit me to translate the following
touching and masterly description of wliat
followed, as written by the academician
himself:
“I was caught. I confessed laughingly
my ftther that I had written a piece
after my novel. My father then said:
“ 'Well, let os sec wbatitis like. Read
me the first act.’
“We went intohis cabinet de travail,
and I began reading, a prey to the most,
xiweifui emotions that I have had in my
lifetime. I was in the presence of my su
preme judge. After the first act said to
me in at once a friendly and grave man
ner—
“ ‘It is very good; continue.*
“Emboldened by this debut, I read tho
second act, and I read it as well as I
could.
“My great listener was very much
touched, tears stood in his eyes over the
scene between Armand and Marguer-
ite.
“ ‘Go on,’ be said to me.
I read the third act. Then he could
not contain his emotions, and the last
two-thirds of tho act
made him weep like a child.
“ ‘Go on,.read me the rest;’ and when
he said that ho looked at me as be bad
never looked before.
There was still and more than ever in
that long, open look the tenderness to
which I was accustomed, but there was a
little astonishment mingled with it, a del
icate joy that was still kept back by tho
fear that the end of my reading would not
be equal to its begtnmng.
“It was between 2 and 3 o’clock. I bad
an engagement which it was impossible
for me to miss.
“ ‘Imust go to my rendezvous,’ I said
to my father; ‘in an hour I will return
aud will read yon the rest.’
“ ‘Go, and be back quickly; I am anx
ions to know the end.’
“The affair that called me away was
soon dispatched, aud I returned to the av
enue Frochet on the ran.
“When I opened the door of his cabinet
my father got up, all in tears, and clasp
ing mo in his arms, said:
“ ‘I was not able to wait. I wanted to
know if youhad done well to the end. I
have read the last twqjcts. It Is original.
is touching. It i£ audacious. It is
new. It will be an immense success, If
censure will allow the piece to he
played.' But ho will.never allow it—it Is
too true to life. In the meantime you
must read it at the Theatre Historique. I
perfectly remember, whom I still meet
sometimes iu society, and who offered the
mosi polite and perfect courtesy to tho
sallies of Marie Duplessis, was the same.
The same supper, the same gayety, the
sudden indisposition of Marie Duplessis.
Seized with a violent attack cf coughing,
forced lo leave the table, she took refuge
in her cabinet de toiiet, and the rest ol the
act is a falllfful picture ot what actually
took place. . , .
On this point the recital in the novel is
even more faithful to the reality than to
the play. It must, however, be said that
the whole novel is more In conformity
with the events of this little drama of
love, of which ali the men of a certain set
am curious to see tho effect of the reading (then wrote me:
on the artistes.’
“We again hugged each other—took a
long hug, both of us weeping; and the
great success of the piece certainly never
caused me one-fourth of the happiness
Lbatl experienced on that memorable af
ternoon.”
Furher on he recites the effect of the
pieec on Marie Duplessis:
We went to the theatre together some
days afUfr. We had a baignoire (a dark
box on the ground floor, so-called because
they are hot and private, like a bath-
rcorn), and we were alone.
.she listened, applauded, wept during
the first four acts, and was rejoicing iu
the good frame ot mind that she was in.
But aj soon as the curtain rose on the iifLh
aet she began to grow uneasy. Slip be
came more and more excited, aud turned
paie. Ali at one she sprang up and
saia:
«• ‘take me ouu 1 I a misunderstanding—I don’t wish to
Take mo out! There U no time to make use #f any other word—I had been
lose.’ j the victim, restored to me my ibU rights
“I took her out of the box and placed
her in her carriage, where she gave way
to a burst of tears. Her profession had
not blunted her sensibility. Besides, ac
tresses are the most nail public that one
can have, and thclrfeeliogs can be worked
upon the easiest.”
After the history of tho piece come
sketches of those artists who created.
In the “Edition d«3 Comedincs” are all
those details so living, so persona], so es
sential to theatrical literature, and into
which the author declares that he lias put
more of bis heart and hi3 life than in any
other edition of his works, and is, as it
were, the last will and testament of his
dramatic career.
“How many are aireadr dead among
thoso who have shared my emotions
Charles Fechter, Dupuis, Hippolyte,
Worms, Mme. Aslruc. Mme. Lagrange
basjust returned from Russia as young as
ever. Irma Granler, who wept so much
at the sebeaisals at having to play the
disagreeable role of Naume, now comes
back in the person of her daughter, la Pe
tit Mariee and le Petit Due of the Renais-
. But where are Allie, Roger, Mile.
Worms, the gentle Clorlnde, aud her
young and pretty Mile. Clary, who was so
great a success to the author ?
“To those who are dead and forgotten
I offer this last souvenir, which will cause
them to live again for an instant in the
minds of those who once knew them.
There is one whom these lines will find
neither dead nor alive, tho merry aud
lively Gil-Perez. He is now going out
like a candle iu a malson de saute, de
prived of reason and a victim to the very
malady of which the person he represent
ed complains to the doctor in the fourth
act. ‘Alas, poor Yoricki’
“To thoso who survive, I offer this last
testimonial of my gratitude. Let them
know that I have forgotten nothing that I
owe to them.”
This Marie Duplessis of whom Dumas
was so fond was from Normandy. She
came to Paris when she was but seventeen
years old. She was beautiful, remarka
bly so, and she squandered her first five
years in the capital amoDg worthless
characters. Then her mental, as well as
physical, charms won her a place in the
world of gallantry.
For awhile she wandered about Eu
rope, going as far as St. Petersburg, where
she met the old Russian whom Dumas
mentions.
He came back to Paris with her and
set her up in her own apartments. She
had a magnificent head of hair; it was of
a golden coior, and to long that it touched
the ground when she stood upright. Hers
was a delicate beauty, and through her
clear skin one could see the blue veins in
dicating consumption.
She was of a capricious nature, ador
ing to-day what she disliked yesterday.
Moreover, she had a mania for lying.
Asked once why she was so given to tell
ing untruths, she replied:
“Lies whiten one’s teeth.”
She died in 1845, not, however, until
Alexandre Dumas had written a fiae
piece of poetry, which the future great
man dedicated to the future Marguonte
Gauteier, aud which he reprints to-day at
the close of his preface to “La Dame aux
Camelias.”
The other play in this edition is
“DIANE DE LYS.”
While Dumas was writing the piece at
Port Marly iu 1852, in the Castel de Mon
te Cristo, the author often said to Henri
Mirault:
'I am convinced that Paul Aubrey
must iu the end be killed by the Count,
but I hesitate about it very much. What
will the public of the Gymnase say if I
kill a man with a pistol shot ou a stage
that has become accustomed to the de-*
nouments of M. Scribe ? ”
Logic necessitated that Dumas should
kill Paul, and, is he was already the ene
my of all concessions, he decided in favor
of logic.
“When I bad written the last word of
the piece,” he says, in these quasl-unpub-
lished notes, “I ran to Mirault to inform
him of the great event. He was not at
home. I said to tho concierge, who knew
me vety well:
•‘ ‘You will tell M. Mirault that it is
done: that I have killed Paul.’
“ ‘I am to inform monsieur that you
have killed Pauli” repeated tho concierge,
looking at mo with rather an astonished
air.
“ ‘Yes; you won’t forget it ? ’
“ ‘No, sir.’
“His voice expressed tho same aston
ishment as his look. When Mirault came
ho was accompanied by a friend. The
concierge took him to one side, and said
him in an undertone:
“ ‘M. Dumas has been here and direct
ed me to tell you that all is over; that he
has killed Paul.’
“ ‘Ah, he has done quite right,’ ex
claimed Mirault, ‘and I am glad of
it.’
“Notwithstanding the Joy of Mirault,
the cdnclerge remained confounded and
was anxious for a very long time after.
He must have looked more than once into
the papers to see what was said about the
murder of Paul.”
Just as I am finishing my letter the gar-
cou enters with my evening papers. In
one of them I find the following supple
mental reference to this actors edition, as
related by Alfred Duane:
“I must confess to you that I have a
passion for old things covered with years
aud dust.
One day, while rummaging right and
left in the shop of a dealer in antiquities
in tho rue St. Jacques, my eyes fell by
chanco on a pen-aDd-Ink sketch,represent
ing, or nearly doing so,‘the grand entrance
of the chateau ot Saussaye, near La Ro
chelle, formerly the property of the grand
father ol Mme. A. B.’
“It was in this chateau that Cardinal
Richelieu lodged during the last month ol
the siege of La Rocbeile, 1828.
“Underneath this sketch, which was
signed ‘Antony Beraud,’ and dated Cth
August, 1735,’ I read the fMlowlngpresen-
tation line, which greatly aroused my cu
riosity:
“ ‘Sketch presented to tbs author of the
Fillcs de Marbre” by one ol the authors
•f “La Dame aux Camelias.” To his
good friend, Theodore, from his friend
Antony.’ ' •
“The friend was Theodore Barriere.
As I was absolutely iguorantof the fact
that Dumas bad had
ANY COLLABOHATEUH
aid him in writing his drama, I in
formed him of the discovery I had made,
and the following ts the letter which be
“,‘M. Antony Beraud had indeed for
merly, and was the first who had, the idea
of making a piece out ot my novel of “La
Dame aux Camklias.” He even wrote
the scenario of three tableaux, wliioh he
tbonght ought to be inserted in the plot ol
the look. This work was 'of no use to
me but as I had authorized him to under
take It when I had written my play, and
when it had ben performed without bis
ever having seen a word of it, M. Beraud,
when success had come, could not refrain
from telling all the managers and all his
confreres—they, however, Dever believed
a word of it—that he was one of the au
thors of this very successful piece. He
even collected his share, the rules of the
Dramatic Authors’ Association being very
clear on this point, regardii>g_tue com
mencement of a collaboration is the col

the FI It ST CHINESE WOMAN.
A Lady ot sba Flowery
Charging tier Countryman with
Intent to Slay Her—Lawyers wbo
Would bo Smart.
Cariosity seekers and students of hu
man nature filled tho chairs iu the Court
or General Sessions yesterday, to the utter
discomfort of the chronic court-room
loafers.
There was a case ou trial that had it pe
culiarly sensational interest, inasmuch
one of the complainants, who had a nar
row escape from death at the bands of the
accused, wrs a curiosity—a Simon Pure
Chinese woman, probably the first ever
seen in this city.
Her name was Cum Wab. She and her
husband, Gam Wah, keep a laundry at
No. 09 West Twenty-first street. They
complained that Ah Yanne, an employe,
assaulted them with inteat to klfl. Ah
Yanne,they asserted, had attacked Gam
Wah with a hatchet as the latter was
lighting his pipe, and then went into the
room where Cum Wah was sleeping and
also assailed her. There was no provoca
tion for the act. Ah Yanne was arrested
abont an hour after he made tho murder
ous attack.
Gam Wah was the first witness.
“Is this a man or woman?” Recorder
Smyth asked, as the complaiuant took the
stand.
It w&3 indeed difficult to distinguish
the sex, as the witness wore the customary
Chinese uress and had his face and head
covered with silk handkerchiefs.
Lo Ling, who bad been temporarily ap
pointed by the court, made a partial suc
cess of interpreting what tho witness said,
which was simply an account of the as
sault.
At the request of the Recorder, Gam
Wah untied his bead wrappings and loos-,
cned his pigtail, showing several ugly
wounds ou tbo right side of his head,
which, he said, had been inflicted by the
prisoner.'*
Counsellor Goodbeart, who represented
Ah Yanue, arose to begin the crcss-exam-
inatiou. Ho lolled over the bar in what
could hardly bo called a very dignified
position.
“Be kind enough to take your legs off
that chair and stand up,” said Reeorder
Smyth.
The counselor corrected his attitude
and proceeded to question the witness.
He evolved from him that be was chop-
pingwood wlieu the prisoner, Ah Yaune,
struck him.
“What kind of wood was it?” the
counselor asked.
“I exclude that,” said the Recorder;
“come dhwn to something sensible.”
Counsel stopped, and Assistant District
Attorney O’Byrne asked witness how
much msney he bad under his bunk on
the morning ol the assault.
I tcorder Smyth—That’s excluded; we
are not trying the prisoner for larceny,
but tor an attempt to kill.
Eveiy eye was fixed on the witness
stand when Cum Wah was called to the
witness stand. Her slim,, short figure
was covered with an expensive black silk
fur lined aud fur trimmed circular which
reached to her heels.
A red silk handkerchief was bound
around her head and knotted under the
chin, and over ail was a dark blue silk
veil wound like a turban over tbo fore
head and gathered into a knot at the
back.
When she sat down aud threw open her
circular, it was seen that her inner gar
ment was a fine brocaded skirt of a deli
cate shade of blue, which reached just be
low the knee.
Under that were wide trousers of daik
blue cloth of fine texture. Herfeetpvbich
were of normal size, were encased in fine
fitting leather gaiters of American manu
facture.
When she removed the bandages from
her bead it was found that her head-gear
was of a decidedly unique pattern. It
was a low, round cap, not unlike a smok
ing cap, made of fine blue cloth, trimmed
with gold ornaments and embroidered
with silk.
Her faco must have been considered at
least pretty in the Flowery Kingdom. It
was of tho ordinary Chinese hue, but her
features were more regular than those of
her countrymen.
The lett side of her face was covered
with round patches of plaster concealing
her wounds. She could give but little ev
idence, as she was in bed when .attacked,
but was positive that Ah Yanue was the
man who had attacked her husband and
herself. •
Mrs. Cum Wah was escorted back to her
seat in tbo court-room and cared for by
an American female attendant.
Sergeant Josiah A. Westervelt, of the
Thirtieth street police station, testified
that he brought Ah Yanua before the
wounded couple and they identified him
their assailant. He also identified the
hatchet as the one found in Gam Wah’s
laundry with which the attack was com
mitted.
Ah Yanne, who during the proceedings
had sat with 'downcast eyes, shambled
around to the stand to testify in his own
behalf.
He wore no pigtail, and his coarse, un
kempt hair hung in a shaggy mass down
on his neck. He was one of the dirtiest,
most wicked and repulsive-looking Mon-
;olians that ever left China. A bristly
jeard of recent growth covered bis angu
lar features. His dress was of the ordi
nary pattern.
Through .the interpreter he testified that
the complainant was bis uncle; the night
before the assault he went to Mott street
buy some opium, and on his return he
and complainant smoked a couple of
>iyes; they bad no quarrel the next morn-
ng, he said, and be did not commit the
assault.
The prisoner went back to his scat in a
manner that showed that he was sick or
shammiog illness.
Counsel for prisoner asked for an ad
journment until this rooming to enable
him to examine Policeman Gilroy, but
the Recorder ioslsted that bo postpone
ment would be allowed. The case then
closed.
Counsel did not sum up. The Recor
der’s charge was terse and brief, and the
jury, without leaving their seats, found
the prisoner guilty of assault with intent
to klil, the maximum penalty for which is
ten years in the State prison. The pris
oner was remanded for sentence. He
was not affected when tne interpreter
told him the verdict. This was not his
first crime, he having served nine years
a California prison for murder.

Nearly two hours were spent in landing
the cage and adjusting it to tbe low ana
broad wheel track which was to be the
means of transporting Jumbo through tbe
streets to the Madison Square Garden. A
team of sixteen horses was in waiting,
and these, after much delay, were finally
harnessed to tho cage, and it was started
on its way to the Garden, where it arrived
without accident shortly after ' 12
o’clock.
Jumbo is a monster. Mr. Barnum, Mr.
Bailey, Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Arging-
stall, the elephant trainer, agree in pro
nouncing him tbe largest elephant ever
imported.
He stands over eleven feet six inches in
height, weighs six and a hall tons and
measures fifteen feet across the head from
the extreme tip of each of his formidable
ears. He is twelve feet long and bis trank
is seven feet in length.
Mr. Barnum aud his partners paid $10,-
000 lor him, aud his entire cost landed in
New York, Mr. Hutchinson states, willbs
nearly $30, COO.
There have been many unforseen ex
penses in getting him here.
In tbe first place, the opposition In Lon
don to the sale to Mr. Barnum was so
great that several lawsuits had to be con
tested, entailing a cost of $2,000 for iegal
expenses alone.
Then the experiments in making a cage
in which to transport him were coetly,
and the expenses of bringing him across
the Atlantic were very heavy.
I’assage was obtained for him twice and
two steamers were tilted up for him and
provisioned before the Assyrian Monarch,
but on both occasions Jumbo positively
refused to enter his cage at the last mo
ment, although ho was docile enough at
all other times. •
In addition to tbe freight charge of $1,-
000, tbe steamship company exacted pay
for fifty tons of freight displaced and for
200 emigrants, at $ iO per head, because
the emigratiou authorities would not per
mit passengers to be carried ih tho same
part of the ship with Jumbo.

Vanity Fatr.—In Banyan,s spiritual
allegory, “The Pilgrim’s Frogrcss,” this
is tbe name of a fair which was held all
the year.round in the town et Vanity.
The origin and history of this lair are de
scribed: “Almost 5,000 yeans ago there
were pilgrims walking to the Ueles Jal
City, and Beelzebub, Apollyon and Le
gion, with their companions, perceiving
by the path that the pilgrims made that
their way to the city lay through this
town of Vanity, they contrived here to
•et up a talr—a fair wherein should be
sold ail sorts of vanity, and that it should
last all tbe year long. Therefore, at this
fair are all such merchandise sold, as
bouses, lands, trades, places, honors, pref
erments, titles, countries, kingdoms, lusU,
pleasures and delights of all sorts, as har
lots, wives, husbands, children, lives,
blood, bodies, souls, sliver, gold, pearls
precious stones and what not. And,
moreover, at this fair there is, at all times,
to be seen Jugglings, cheats, games, tools,
knaves, rogues, and that ot every kind.
• • • Now, aa I said, the way to the
Celestial City lies just through this town
were this dusty fair is kept; and he that
would go to tbe city, and yet not go
through this town, must needs go out of
the world.”
Thackeray haa made use of tbe name
of Vanity Fair as the title of his satirical
novel. Johannes Factotum. ■

A German living in England, in reply
to a notice to present himself at a certain
place in Prussia for military service, un

following letter to Prince Bismarck:
“My Dear Bismarck—I feel highly flat
tered by your kind invitation, addressed
to me at mynative town, to Jria tho Ger
man army, but am afraid I shall not be
able to accept it,for I am now in England
engaged in the more useful work, as I
consider it, of expounding mental science
and teaching people howto make tiie best
use of their faculties. For lhe same rea
son I scarcely feel myself at liberty to ac
cept even tho six months’ board and lodg
ing at tbe expense of the State; which you
considerately offer as an alternative. I
much prefer basking in the sunshine of
English liberty to beiog forced despotical
ly into military servitude In my own
country. I have altogether given up fight
ing since I left school. 1 do net know
that I have anytbiog particular to fight
about now, and hardly care to engage in
fighting at anyone elM's bidding. If you
have a qultrel with anybody, I would ad
vise you to settle it amicably if possible,
or else fight it out yourself. If, after you
haye ‘fixed up* the army, you can make it
convenient to run over here at any time
to one of my phrenological lectures, I
shall be happy to point out tbe superiority
of life in England, and I will examine
your head either publicly or In private,
free of charge. With kind regards to the
governor,I remain yours faithfully,

Sweet potatoes are selling at one dollar
per bushel. At that price a man cau re
alize from $100 to $250 per acre on laud
tha; it would take two acres to make one
bale of cotton, hence we can readily see
that a planter bad better plant potatoes
aud make cotton a surplus crop. At fifty
cents per bushel more cau be made to tbe
acre than can be made with cotton.
It is quite a common saying that there
is no money in fanning, but It depends
altogether upon the farmer himself wheth

From all we can see, says the Hawkins-

Mr. T. J. Barrow, of Smithville, re
torts a good condition of the farming out-
ook in his immediate section,though they
are somewhat ueediug rain. Mr. Barrow
reports the oat crop as simply splendid,
but that tbe wheat crop is damaged by
tbe nut. The com thus far is doing
well. Mr. Barrow expects to realize this
;rear from his crop a thousand dollars.
Now that sounds like business, aud we
are delighted to bear so many of our far
mers speaking so hopefully cf tbe future.
But that wilt ever be tbe case when our
farmers become self-sustaining, and many

men of the finest we hare seen this season.
The stalks measure nearly fire feet in
height and are large and rich looking. '
Theyare just beginning to bead out, and
give promise of a large yield. Mr. Hud
gins says he has a large field of the same,
kind. If no accident befalls it, in the
opinion of competent judges, It will make
about forty bushels to bs acre. We see
more evidence of prosperity iu such a crop
as this than In thb finest cotton crop that
could possibly be produced. We don’t
believe that any other crop brings as good _
returns in this section as wheat, taking
tbe labor time and expense of raising it
into consideration.
A certain geutlemau who has a home
in Spalding, once had a garden. He had
never attempted the like before and this
was his first experiment. He bad made
this garden his special care, in fact, it was
almost his idol. He worked in it by day,
aud dreamed and studied about it at
night. He watched the growth of his
choice vegetables with pleasure aud
bragged on bis garden wbeuever an op
portunity presented itself. He went to
bed one night and dreamed that be was
having a superabundance of garden luxu
ries. He awoke next morning and went
into the garden in fond expectation, but,
alas, wbat a sight met hla eyes. Every
thing had been trampled and mashed
down during the night by his fa70rite
horse. He bad nine different kinds of
vegetables, aud tho horse had taken es
pecial care to wallow all over them sep
arately. Not a sprig was left to tall of its
escape. The man was mad. He raved
and tore his hair in frenzy, and muttered
that be would kill tbe hone for lu mis- -
chief. Just then his wife came Into the
garden, followed by a fine Bramah ben
his mother-in-law had sent down the day
before. He let fly a brick at tie hen and
knocked her bead completely off. His
wife remonstrated with him, but he ex
claimed: “D—d if I don’t kill anything
that comes into this garden.” Her lady
ship beat a hasty retreat for the bouse and
has not been in tbe garden since. This
man takes an oath that he will have
