WABiiiNaroN, Mny 23. Ah n Utornry
contor tho national capital la rapidly bo-
coming noted throughout tho world. It
hns no lariro iiublislilnir Interest, nllmr
tlmii Hint maintained by tho govurntnunt,
but n lnrgo immhur of writera llvo nnd
work lioro. There 1h in Washington ft
llttlo club known an "Tho Neighbors,"
whlclt la distinctively Utornry nnd inusl-
unnAniAN bpoffoiid.
cnl. Tho fortnightly meetings during
tho winter mouths bring together mnnp
of the brightest men nnd women of tho
capital. Hero mny bo neon such famous,
persona as Mrs. Frimcoa Ilodgson Bur
nett, who Uvea In it charming house on
MnwutchuHottH itvenuo, with tho families
of tho chief justice, Attorney General
Miller and any number of senators on
cither sido of hers Georgo Kennnn, tho
Russian speciftlist, much of whoso mail
from Ilussin and Siberia comes to Wash
ington disguised under lwgus Bti'iorHcrip
tionsj Georgo Bancroft, tho historian;
Joaquin Millor, who used to havo n log
cabin on tho hills overlooking tho city,
nnd Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth, tho
novelist, who lives in a quaint old houso
in quaint old Georgetown.
At ono of theso "Neighbors" meetings
thero reccutly mot four persons who are
engaged in writing tho lives of a trio of
groat men of tho war era John Hay
and John E. Nicolay, authors of Tlio
Century "Lifo of Lincoln;" Georgo Gor-
Ham, who is engaged upon n "Lifo of
War Secretary Edwin M. Stanton," nnd
Mrs. Kathcrino Chase, who is writing
tho lifo of her father, tho groat chief jus
tice Many nowsimpor mon may bo seen
in theso gatherings, among tho more
conspicuous of them being Charles Nord
hoff, of Tho Now York Herald, who, to
his 10,000 a year wtlary front Mr. Ben
nett, adds many thousands from Ids pen.
A lucky man. Mr. N.prdholT, for his
nowspapor work takes but a moro frag
ment of his time Weeks of ton go by
without a lino from him appearing in
firint; but if thoro are diplomatic dis
urbances or international complications,
Mr. Nordhoff is expected to bo heard
from, and this is an expectation which is
raroly disappointed. Tho field of diplo
macy is peculiarly his own.
Georgo Alfred Townsond is often seen
with "Tho Neighbors." Ho is tho great
est nowspapcr correspondent which tills
country has produced, so great that
when his work is mediocre or inferior,
as it sometimes is, of courso, it sells ns
readily as ovor and is read with almost
as much avidity. Townsond is ouo of
tltoso correspondents who learn llttlo
but think much; a singlo fact passing
through his mental hoppor isbrokon into
fifty parts, nnd each ono is swollen up
with tho imagination to bo as largo ns
its parent. "I am more than a tolophono
between talkers and readers," Townsond
said at ono of "Tito Neighbors" meets;
"1 am a phonograph, into which ten
thousand men havo talked, and their re
corded conversations are n storehouse,
on which I draw at will by simply
turning tho crank."
Tho government incidentally encour
ages authorship. Soino of tho best
writers of tho day, most earnest and
best equipped specialists, are govern
ment employes. Thero is Librarian Spof
ford, of tho great national literary mauso
leum. Ho docs not writo much, because
ho has not tho timo. Ho is ono of the
busiest, ono of tho most rcmarkablo men
in Washington. From mornlnK til)
night he stands nt his desk in tho big
library, giving personal nttentiou to the
dotailsof work. Ono would think tho
responsible head of a great Institution
like this would conteut himself with
mere management; but not so with
Spofford. Ho will tnko your application
for a book and eithor got it for you him
self or send ono of his assistants. Lucky
for you Bomotlmes that Spofford is thoro,
UNDF.Il TUG 6EA WALL.
for of all tho hundreds of thousands of
books and pamphlets in tho library thero
is not ono which ho does not know as
well as ho knows tho thoroughbred horse
which ho ride every fair day. Ho knows
these books bo well that ho can tell you
the range of their contents, tho names
of authors, data of publication, and tho
comparative vnltto of works on a given
subject. Sjioirord is Btich a comploto
nud infallible indox to tho cutiro library
that Bonatorn and rcprcsentativca havo a
habit of going to him and Bnying:
"Mr. Sixifford, I am looking up this or
that subject whero shall I And it?"
And without n moment's hesitation
tho librarian calls off tho names of n half
dozen or dozen books, and sends for
them. Thowholo library Is before him
liko tho pieces on n chess board, and, of
courso, this is much liettcr for tho sena
tor or rcpresentntivo than consulting in
dexes. "Look In tho indoxl" exclaimed Sena
tor Edmunds tho other day, in tho library;
"oh, no; not whllo Siofford is hero. Ho
is tho only index I want. There are no
typographical mistakes or cloudy refer
ences in him, and, besides, ho is brought
down to (into."
When SpolTord dies, as ho must soino
day dio and that booh, 1 fear, unions lie
gots away from his desk tho library will
Buffer ft loss besidowhlch tho destruction
of n hundred thousand volumes would
bo n moro trillo. Tho hundred thousand
volumes could bo replaced; SitolTord
could not Imj.
Just now Washington literary circles
nro talking about a now poet that has
Bpntng up in their midst. Ono of tho
conceits of "Tho Neighbors" club is an
anonymous box, in which bits of iootry
nro dropped by modest authors to bo read
at tlio noxt mooting. Out of this box
havo come such a largo number of jiocms
and Boiigs that wero obviously from tho
Bnmo pen, all breathing the breath of
genius and singing principally of tho sen,
that no littlo curiosity lias been nroused
concerning their authorship. Tho mem
bers mentally Bcanned tho roster of tho
club in search of tho man or woman
whoso early lifo had been passed within
Bound of ocean's roar, novor BU8iocting
that such exquisite songs of tho surf
could como from a landsman. Now tho
secret is out, and tho author is nono other
than Mrs. Springer, wife of tho member
of congress from Springfield, Ills.
At n recent meeting of ,"Tho Neigh
bors" a Bketch of Mrs. Springer, "dream
ing tho hours awny" under tho sea wall
nt Fortress Monroo, was presented tho
club by a young nrtist, and Rov. W. H.
Milburn, tho blind chaplain of tho houso
of representatives, Biwko feelingly of tho
poetess. "It is not Btrango," said ho,
"that ono bred upon tho prairies of tho
west, as sho was, knowing tho ocean
only by hearsay for many years, should
bo prepared to yiold hor heart to ita
mighty charm. Tho boundloss plains

when Bho camo to stand by tho multi
tudo of great waters, through which Bho

and clmriots of salvation."
Ono night last wiuter "Tlio Neigh
bora" honored Mrs. Springer by giving
tableaux of ono of her pnthotio poems
n poem, by tho way, thnt had como out
of tho "anonymous box" and moved all
listeners to tears:
Twos night In o llttlo village
A vlllago down by tho Bca;
And tho clouds hung low,
Drifting to and fro,
And tho wind moaned drearily.
Tho Btorm camo down; tho gun was
fired; ft ship was soon on tho breakers;
hut and cabin were emptied of strong
hearts and hands eager to do all in thoir
power to save tho imperiled lives. But
tho sea rolled in so madly that ovon tho
lifo boat could not lo launched.
Like n straw In the breath ot tlio tempest.
Twos thrown bac!c on tho strand.
Tho women wept In anguish,
And raUcd their hands In prayer;
For every heart was vtrickeu
With that sharp cry of despair,
Tho cry of a child had been heard from
tho wreck; its plaintivo notes had in
spired tho men on shore to redoubled
but vain efforts. Tho lifo boat still lay
upon tl0 bench.
Hark t Dome, over tho waters,
IUnglng out strong and clear,
Ouno tho voice of a woman singing I
And listening, they could hear
Tlio words In tho lull of tho tempest
(Oh, lovo so undeflled'J
They know 'twas tho voice ot tho mother
Singing to calm her child.
And as she sang to her darling
Knowing that death was so near
Bho caught the words sho so needed.
Her own heart to strengthen and choor.
"Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing
eyes"
They knew she sang, though they could
hear no moro.
Then came a lull, and clear as clear could be,
"Heaven's morning bruaks, and earth's vain
shadows flee:"
And strong and full, liko prisoned bird sot
free
"In Ute, in death, O Lord. blde with me!"
A heavier surge ot the breakers-they hoard
the volco no more.
And though they watched and waited,
Nought but the breakers' roar
And tho moan of the wind, now dying,
Camo to the listening ear;
And they know tho voice ot tho singer
They never again should hear.
And wbeu the night had wasted,
And mom came, cold and. gray,
On the wet sand, near tho mooring,
A fair, dead woman lay.
To her heart was still enfolded
A tiny fair haired girl,
With face like a wayside flower,
And pure as an ocean ;earl.
And tho sun broke through tho shadows,
And looked on tlio dead and smiled;
And they know as they knelt about her
Twas tho singer and her child.
Mrs. Springer is ono of tho most lova
ble women of tho capital, and ono of tho
most popular, Sho is tho author of sev
eral Buccossful novels, ner literary in-
como ia wholly dovotod to charity.
Ten or fifteen years henco, no doubt,
Washington will bo tho literary center
of America. Already it is becoming tho
seat of learning, with its great universi
ties, libraries nnd museums. Hero, too,
writers Aro discovering, may socioty nnd
character from all parts of tho country
be advantageously studied.

HENRY W ar-ADY'8 NOVEL.
lie Had Its Vlrt Cmptor, Hero Oiitllittd,
W'lttcii When Hu Died.
Si'clal CorresKrutenco.
Nuw Yoitic, May 23. Henry W.
Grady's literary famo rests upon his
nowspapor work. His journalistic
"knack' nnd tact were allko wonderful.
His instinct of timeliness and his sympa
thetic intuition cunblod him to scizo
upon every popular topic "living as it
rose." His picturesquo, colorful stylo
gave a grnoo to every subject.
"Why don't you writo a novel?" was n
question ho was often asked.
"I havo ono on tho Btocks," ho would
nnswer, laughing. "Let mo havo a littlo
bit of leisure a Juno month in tho coun
try, thirty winter ovonings by my ain
ilresido nnd you'll boo n novel thnt will
astonish you."
Tho month of lelsuro seemed never to
como to him. Tho novel never got off
"tho stocks." Onco ho sketched tho out
line of it for mo. Dickons was Mr.
Grady's first and last lovo, and his em
bryo novol wns Dickonsesquo in plot and
stylo, with a DroodisU. mystery brooding
over it to tho enfl.
Tho opening chapter showed a man a
"solitary horseman" traveling a lonely
road through tho night and storm. Ho
crossed a roaring rivor, nnd saw by n
Hash of Hghtniug a largo houso, sot a lit
tlo back from tho road, with wind blown
trees about it. Tho blinds of tho houso
wore colored; no light issued from it, but
suddenly, as tho traveler looked, thero
camo a wildor gust of wind, tho shutters
of ono of tho windows was blown vio
lently back, and tho traveler had a
gllmpso of tho lighted interior.
That ono gllmpso was full of horror.
It showed tho climax of a tragedy. A
man stabbed to death by nnothor man;
two women standing near, ono still nnd
stern, tho other stretching her nnns im
ploringly nnd Bending forth n shriok that
founded nbovo tho Btorm.
In nnothor half minuto tho blind was
hf-nvn back to its placo and all was dark
again. Before tho stunned traveler could
recover himsolf n florco flash and peal of
thunder had startled his horso. It took
n few minutes to quiot him, thon tho
horseman dismounted, opened tho great
gate of tho yard and hurried to tho
houso. nis knock on tho door was an
Bwered almost at onco by a black serv
ant, who showed him into a room tho
very room in which ho had just seen a
bloody murder committed. Ho looked
around in amazement. No sign of mur
der or violenco was hero. No blood, no
body; no rago or terror in tho faces that
turnod upon him. Ho saw a cozy room,
ft cheerful fire, ft'family group; a young
woman nt tho piano; a young man stand
ing besido her; a beautiful young mother
rocking her child in her arms; tho father
reading in his nnnchair closo by.
All turned and looked nt tho intruder
in poll to surprise no stammered out
his story, and was Btared at suspiciously,
as if ho was an escaped lunatic. It was
indignantly denied that anything tragio
had taken placo. Ho must havo a brain
fovor or bo subject to horriblo illusions.
Ho was made almost to doubt his eyes
and to npologizo for his intrusion. Ho
was graciously asked to shelter himsolf
from tho storm; and ho Btaid, and fell
under tho spell of ono of tho beautiful
women, nnd but thoro ended this in
itial chapter of a story that, liko its
author's brilliant lifo, broko off abruptly,
leaving its sequel to bo guessed.
Mahy E. Bryan.
Senator WolcotU
New York, May 22. Tho marringo of
United States Senator Wolcott, of Col
orado, is an event to cause his friends
soino surprise Ho had been long ro
garded ns a confirmed bachelor, as also
Ids brother, tho wealthy Colorado banker'
nnd miner, has been. A good deal has
been written nbout tho romantio and, in
somo respects, dramatic career of Wol
cott, and much of it must havo surprised
him when ho read it.
Although both ho and his brother havo
known what roughing it means, oven to
tho last extremity of necessity, yet tho
family is ono in which culture nnd re
finement prevailed, and upon his moth
er's sido there was wealth. His maternal
grandfather, Jonathan Popo, was ono of
tho first to dovelop cotton manufactur
ing in this country, and amassed a for
tuno in tho business. Ho has lived for
many years in Norwich, Conn. An un
do, L. W. Carroll, is ono of tho wealth
iest and best known business men of east
ern Connecticut. His father was n splen
did specimen of what Now Englnnd or
thodoxy sometimes does for its adher
ents, nnd was for many years ono of tho
powers in tho Congregational pulpits of
this country. Ho had a very largo fami
ly. Tho 6ons were all, liko tho father,
veritable Sauls; Buperb in their physical
dovolopment nnd of tho fair haired, fino
complexioned typo that is associated
with tlio Saxons. Tho sons nro hand
somo men; the daughters beautiful wo
men of Btntuesquo mold.
Wolcott's father sent him to Yalo col-
lego, in tho class that was graduated in
1870, but ho did not graduate. Ho only
staid a year, but whilo ho was thoro ho
was a lively youth. Tho faculty looked
at him with dubious eyes, but his class
mates made him a hero. It was said that
at ono examination, tho class being in
despair over tho Euclid papers, fearing
that they would bo difficult, Wolcott
undertook to got his classmates out of
tho difficulty, nnd, in ways known best
to himself, managed to got a ely poop at
tho examination papers before thoy wero
handed to tho class, Having dono bo
ho passed tho word nlong, and so it
happened thnt tho class did an unprece
dented thing it passed a iorfect exami
nation: m perfect that tlio faculty be
came suspicious, investigated and dis
covered, nnd compelled tho students to
submit to another examination. Prom
this Wolcott caenpod, as ho had by that
timo left tho college
Ho was tho norviost nnd coolest better
in all tho college, maintaining tho honor
of Ids colors with fearlossuosj, even
when his judgmont was against tho bet;
and this is n trait that is said to havo
afterwards been dovoloped in tho wilds
of Colorado and to havo given him great
favor among tho rough miners.
