Replying to tins long neglected letter, I
would say briefly, yet succinctly and even
tersely, that much could depend upon the
eizc of a book. Tuere is a tremendous call
this season for an eight-ounce book, with
email flecks of flowers on it.
Can you write such a tiedk? Cah roll
write a book full c l intnli-.d and expressed
pa sion? Can you churn up the great
depths of human nature and shorten tho
longing which one nay have for another
heart again at which to throb. Can you do
this and still go on with your primary
studies at Humboldt? Can you prepare
such a work and still get your spelling les
sons every day J
I do not know why you should bavo re
ferred the matter to me, however, and
would rather refrain from giving advice in
matters of literature. 1 could not write a
book about “Thb B.renelt Flirt” to save my
life. Writing passionate tilings in red ink,
t»ri both aides, I regard as a gift. I can not
do it.
I once published a work in two volumes
tohieh sola well and is still meeting with au
excellent sale both m this country and in
Europe. It was also veil received by tho
critics, at km-.t no one said nuy thing dis
paragingly of it, and it has helped many a
fuc to pass a pleasant evening, ns I know,
t contiists of two large volum s of history,
being a history ol the war in tv, volumes.
Btnick with the woudori'al paucity of war
history, especially rolativo to the great re
bellion, I prepared these two volumes in
neat black and gold muslin and beveled
boards. When closed the work wps orna
mental and when opened it become a back
gammon board.
Where Uid others have been in the habit
of putting word-painting und October haze
and tho ouor of crushed watermelon and tho
lull of being miles and miles away from
the parents of one you deeply love and who
is with you in the heart of the forest and
all that I did not put any thing at all.
Where a modern author might have written
things which might have made Solomon and
Brigham-Young to blush, cast shame and
Cause the rat her questionable career of Don
Juan, by contrast, to read like the loves of
a snow man, I just left the reader to his
own wicked thoughts as he went along. In
this way uud by reinforcing the corners by
means of y.ine shanks on the inside I knew
that when the critics jumped on it they
would not hurt it.
To this I attribute vvhrt little literary suck
oesJ I may have attained, nod this is the
reason I speak of it to you. Rut times are
changed and you must keep up with tho
times. See, for instance, how the smut has
been eradicated from comedy and humor,
and how it has been gently but iinniy ro
: taiued by romance. Even tho bright but
doubtful jokes of war times, twenty years
ago, could net flr.il a pu.ee in print or oh
tho stage now, auu further back than that

could only be f ~.:id now in a Congressional

sorry tvheh he reads tl: you v. rushed
into print with your gr. vm : and said
over your owfl signature and under ydur

another kind of hat.
We must overlook things like this bo,
tween friends (luring the worry and heat
of a campaign. Then again it would bo bet
ter to wear your own hat %nyway. You
would thus fool free and unfottbred. Toil
can go to the polls then holding your head
up like one of Nature’s noblemen, and, per
haps, get enough before you are through td
buy several hats, for in igy opinion votes will
be votes this fail, and you will just simply
fool yci rself, Rmatbbi's, for swapping your
Go J-given franchise forany man’s hat. Robe
of good cheer. 1 And the newspapers. They
aite not bigoted. They will give you a
broader view of life than you have now.
Read every thing that will tend to elevate
your moral sense and take you out of the
realm of clothing aud gents’ furnishing
goods.
— Look upon your vote as something that
can not be purchased. Do you think, Stnath
ers, that our forefathers at Bunker Hill,
sometimes called Breed’s Hill, and at Ti
conderoga aud Tippecanoe, laid down tbeir
lives that you and I might swap our divine
franchises for hats? Did Columbus dis l
cover America and titke his meals out all
tho way over herd in order that you and I
could barter our principles, auch as they
are, for clothes?
I think not. *
DO you believe that such men as Benedict
Arnold went thrbugh almost every thing—
that is, almost every thing they could get
their hands on—in order to transmit to futr
tire generations the right to prostitute
their opinions for huts i
I trow not.
Let us, therefore, Mr. Smothers, come
out and take higher ground. Literary men
and voters, they say, are too apt to under
value their wares. Why do you no; write
to the President for a sealskin sneque of it
Cleveland overcoat? Then you would have
attracted attention. As it is now, you have
strained tho relations betvr en yourself and
the President and rushed into print, in order*
to herald your shame and proclaim yourself
thus publicly as the man who is in the habit
of 3training his relations. We tiro upon tho

THC TAIOTF STUDEXI’.
O' Mi. fimathers, of a great po’Jb ral con
test. I did not think of tins myself. It was
told to me in confidence on the polo grounds
by a well educai ed Man from Mitine. So far
as I know this is tho first time tho state
ment lias appeared in prktt, but J feel a per
sonal interest Id you, Mr. Rmi.’hcrs. No
man who sincerely likes tho pieces I write
for the papers can be a real bad man.
8o I give you tho above infer mat ion j ist
as it was given to me. We ;_r-o upon the
eve of a great political cent’: It is large
ly, lam told, an intellectual c.i npa gn. Bo
it is really no place for you i no, Mr.
Smat.hcrs. This is not, V:r of fact,
our funeral. As soon as J that it was
to bo a campaign of bnims 1 . nedialely
thread my umbrella and gat hway from
Bcro. Rome claim that this is a fight over
the tariff and that no man ought to vote Un
til he thoroughly understands Vvhat tho gen
eral effect upon all classes of industries in
this country will be. Rhould that be tho
#so, there Will be it small vQfcp indeed; Ofily
one man in America fully u®i:rstands what
the ultimate results of tariff reduction will
be down to a dollar and how it will affect all
classes here in this country, having made a
life-long study of it, and unfortunately he
can not take a part in tho campaign, because
liis ward can not spare him. He resides in
a close ward and he is much attached to it
by means of a log chain, and the sides of
his ward are padded 30 that he Can not
fracture his skilll ana throw more than his
3haro Of brains into this highly intelligent
campaign.
But it is, so far, a good, clean, calm, unim
possioned campaign, with more banner than
business in it, rind as au American citizen I
! am glad that purity aud peace have so far
characterized its history.
Between you and me, Smathers, I am in
clined to believe that the world is gotting
better an d more desirable as a place cf resi
dence. It is handy to business, tolerably
healthy, and takes aro low. With long
rauge guns which will enable 113 to fight a
foreign foe without going away from home,
ai d with John L. Sullivan engaged in jour
nalism, it looks to mo as though the time
might, bo near at hard When tho lamb will
tie down in the northwest coi’hfir of the
lion, when swords shall be turned into
plov.-sl.urcs and spears into pruning hooks;
when nation shall not rise up against na
tion and ftien shall learn war no more.
By the way, Mr. Bmnthers, what size of
hat do you wear? Bill, Nve.
