One day MU Evans called a Mr. Derby' office awl left the manuscript, which he took homo and read to hi fa;nily, who nil thought it well worth publishing. Mr. Gooi-go liipley, who "read" for him on a salary, us well as for othor hot!w-3, al3 pronouui-i-d favorably on tlie book, and it was no booiht jiuLlblnxi than iU uccvwi was made. 1-Vw noveb. have ever reached a larger w'le.

Soon after this review appear!, Mr. HpauMiug wrote to Mr. Derby, and aske. him who was tin; author of this book, and il it would uot lio.ssiMe for him to moet her. He had found u kindred soul, and wits inia tieut to iii.it in the liel.L Mr. Derby a us were tlutt the lady was a southerner, but that sh was then iu Now York, nnd he would couve Mr. SjiauMiny's wishes to her and givo hi. answor. Miss Evans, w1k wan staying at th St. Nicholas hotel, expressed her willinsne to meet Mr. Spaulding, and Mr. Derb brought liim up and introduced him. Ti. adjtiuintaiK-e riproe.1 into friendship, an the friendship into something more, for i was ii.it lou before the nortliern tdito and soulheru novelist were engaged to b marrifl. In tho mean time the civil war broke out Miss Evans wan n secessionist of the strongo. type, nnd Mr. Smuldni was aa strong fo tho Union. His iolitical feelings, how;ver did not interfere with bis private friendship and an opix.rlimity offering; he went south t. be ii';in iuL To his surprise ho found t'.iu Lis promised bride no longer felt the same ri gard for him.

He died soon after his marriagi While tho war w.-us raging, Miss Evans wrot another novel railed "Macaria," which wn publkluil in Richmond. Va. A copy of thi was sout by tbe author to Mr. Derby, was thun Uimiiorarily out of publishing husiin-ss. He, however, tinned hii inleivst iu this author, ho took the book to Mr. J. B. pincott to see if he would not publish it. wh. th CO! j a:.. Li). Mi Lippmeutt at once agreed to, and promise tho author the usual 10 per cent, royal t though by law s,ho was not entitled to any thing, hor look having been published in tin Confederacy. While tho plates were being made, Michae Dooludy of this city, a bX)kseller of prac tical method., gut hold of a copy of "Maca t ta, nni was getting it sot up as fast as th. printers could work. Mr. I-ijipiiicott, heai ing of this, wrote him that ho would with Jraw from the liel.l if ho, D-iolady, would Uj;n a contract to pay him, for tho author, i royalty on its sales, otherwise ho would s?". tho pl.-ites at cost to another publisher. Doo lady agreed and the contract was signed. In the moan time the war was over, an one day Mr. Derby received a call at his oi fice in Spruce street from a lady. She wa ushorcd into his presence, and, just as he wa about to ask her business, he recognized Mis Evans. "Why, Augusta," said he, "wha does this mean'" for she was very shabbil. attired and pale and wan. "I have com. north," said she, "with my brother, who i sitting out on your doorstep now. Ho wa: wounded in the war, and I want one of you northern doctors to look after him." "Th fir&t thing for you to do," said Mr. Derby, "i to come right to my house with your brother, the second to get some new clothes; thes you have on are very shabby." "I know they are," she replied, "but it can't b bellied. We lart everything bv the war, an I haven't a penny." "Why. yes you nave," said Mr. Derby, "I have $3,000 oi your money in the bank." "Impossible' Where did it come from " "From tho sale? of 'Marcalia,' and I have been waiting to know where to send it." Of course this was a precious windfall, and it was uot long before Miss Evans was on hei feet again. Since that time Mr. Carletoi ha published Miss Evans' works. Her "St. Elmo" she dedicated to Mr. Derby. A BIG TERRITORY. Alaska'a Biz 3, Extent of Coast L ne, an I Wealth ol ximber. Rnharuah," iu St Louis Globe-Democrat The extent of this northwest territory an tho vast distances between points are inon than bewildering. Alaska itself is equ.il ii. area to all of tho United States east of th. Mississippi river. Counting the Aleutian chain, the Pribyloff group and the 1,0U islands of tbe Alexander archipelago, the total area of the Alaska islands is 31,200 square miles. The island cf Attn, the last of the Aleutian chain, is as far west of San Francisco as Bangor, Me., is east of it, and the indented coast line of Alaska, measuring over 25,00b miles, is even greater that tho whole coast line of tho Atlantic and Pacific shores of the United States put together. Southern Alaska, as it is called, comprises the narrow strip of . territoiy that extends southward from Mount St. Elias to Dixon channel, the bounilary line between Alaska and British Columbia. This thirty-milo strip of land, with its outlying islands, is the best kncwi. part of the territory, and, with tho exception of Onalaska and the Seal islands, is the seat of the only white settlements of any conse quence or promise. Dense forests clothe tbe islands and mainland of southern Alaska and "darken a region half as large as Eu rope." Although tho rocky foundations are only covered with a thin, sandy soil, vegetation nourishes with a rankness that can not be surpassed in the tropics. The closo forests of yellow cedar, Sitka and Douglass spruce, Jeffreys pine and balsam fir have never been devastated by fiis, and for unnumbered ages only glaciers or avaAnch?s have iaterferec wiih tbe steady processes of nature. Tht Russians cleared a little ground about their settlements, but later inhabitants Lave made no efforts in that way, since crops can not be raised with success ana tue re are not enough horses or cattle for any one to direct their attention to grasses that can not be dried in the constant downpour. Tbe stumps of trees will never rot in tbe ground, and the fallen trunks in tbe forest form a network Like the corners of rail fences, with each log covered with thick mosses and grasses, and bearing a dense growth of rank ferns, bushes and sniull trees. It is wholly impossible to penetrate the for ests without a path first being hewn through tbe thickly ramrod tree trunks, and in the wood paths about Sitka one frequently set-s trees two and three f-vt in diameter, growin. over tbe pros tram forms of pined of even greater dimcusioui If you stp aside from tbe path to force your way through the underbrush to raac. clusters of crimson and orange salmon berries, you may suddenly be engulfed, and sink two or ten feet into u pitfall of mossy logs. Only tho et rtaiuty tlutt there are no snakes or creeping things i:t Alaiv'i enco-i rages ono to venture a-sidu from tbo narrow and graveled pat .is thai beneliuent Hussuiu rulers. cuojCiI U) hsraiftiln tjlunit Sit. THE CH AMPION. A I?rso7ial Description of John It. Sullivan, the Pugilist. nil -Wild Animal" Look... IoraioMe" Mtate of III Intellectuality. Tun "Jeff" in lH-troit Free Prei. Wlmt remains of our K'oryi Echo an twem whnt, and truth proudly ioints hr fin ger to the monogram on the window of No. 714 Washington stret, nnd the sign above it, "John L. Sullivan." What hath the north, the south, the castor the west, or all creutiou, to compare with him in lofty eminence John himself says he is "tho lt man on tho cunt i... -ut." nnd the continent don't seem in clined to dny it. Of course there are differ ent kinds of liest. There is Joseph Cook, for instance, futile princoi in real goodness, as all mn, nrtii-u!nrly himself, will admit. Mr Sullivan's virtue is of another kind. He reaeimdcth rather the late Col. Sliark, of whom it wa said or sung, that "When on the shady si te lie t;tepied, To the other bide creation crept." John is the unquestioned champion of all pugilists. Tis the voice of tho slugger; I hear him complain that there are no more worlds to conquer. Let him rest eay. To jvery man cometh his Waterloo, and J. L S. will yet lind his'n. Meanwhile, he is a typo t the times and worth a littlo ttudy. His or-room, of which so much has been said, is lot partictdarly j-alatiaL A good deal of loney has evidently been expended i't jrild "g, glassware and In ass ware, and there is a lude. picture on the wall, nearly life size, rejv xseutiiig the "Birth of Venus," which prob tlly cost a good deal more money than it is trtistically or commercially worth. The fair Vphrodite is painted in the approved Parisian .yle of art; that is, sho has not a pretty face, uid her figure is more suggestive of the cor-iet-cducated boulevards than of nature's nold, my Nora Creiua. A bust of the pro , rieUir of the place sunnounts the cornice of vood over the bar. It is cut in soma sort of ard, yellow wood and is a p.ior likeness. So, iy the way, are all the photographs and irinls of the great man. None do him justice, for all make him ftp ear a coars, thick-lipped bruiser, which he not. He has regular features, a straight os and a clean-cut mouth, which would be .andsome but for the little dogged droop at ae corners not completely hidden by his jet .lUstache. It is also marred a littlo by a enuency, no doubt a legacy from his early tigging days, to throw his under jaw out, in ie well-known conventional "what-d'yer- oy expression which, accompanied by a .itching down of the head and a curving of ne shoulder.-), is the "tough boy's" favorite .tethod of carrying dismay into the heart of m opjionent. John has got over the what-.'yer-soy period, but the protruding jaw ap---ars at times as a relic of the obsolete age. ut for it he would bo a handsome and even i pleasant-looking man until you looked into sis eyes. Pretty hard eyes to describe. I did ot even note their color, the expression of hem taking up all one's attention. Once I s-iw in Central park a lion which .ad been recently impoi-ted and had not ac iiiired the conventional blase stare of tho enagerie. When j ou looked at him and i catch his eye he looked, not at you, but arough nnd beyond ou, with a compre .ensive, open gazo in which the humanizing lefore him occupied no more attention than je moto in the sunbeam. Well, that is just he way the smgger looks at one, or through ne a wild-animal look, but not a wild look. Jou feel that, as an ordinary human, you do ot even block his light. There is another XDression, and it is also an animal one, a , iick, sharp way of glancing about, without loving his head, which convinces me that I vould not care to try surprising him with ne undci the ear. For the rest, the cham ion boxer would not attract one's attention n the street by any apparc.it superiority of trength or skill lie does not look tall or u-ong beyond the sons of men, but they say oat when he is undressed he looms up and ecomes a giant. Ho did not strip for me. .'either did I interview him, save in the lute an 1 modest manner of an humble ad jirer afar off. I w ish I could add that tho Hon. Mr. Sul- van hod another and a finer nature, that in is private and un professional life he is an .mirer of Emerson, and always carries a py of "Omar Khayyam" in his gripsack. I ui constrained to say, however, that John's ner intellectual nature is still "dormouse," i", indeed, it hath any germ of life at alL Ho a slugger, and nothing else. I doubt if ho von succeeds as a vendor of tho beverage t-hich out-sluggeth all sluggers. However, m is young yet, as was said of "Jim Smalls," ud there is no knowing what a Bostonian nay sprout into with the growth of tho inner ife. To quoto again from tho "Concord hilosophy:" "Feeling implies self-action, he egoaltruistic perceptivity, not only in re ictiou of the environment as in nutrition, ut in producing tbe impression made by the iivironiuent withm tbe soul of the animal, his reproduction is accompanied, co-rela-.vely and co-ordinately, by an unconscious attsality, or infereuce, which transfers tho (vision of tho feeling to an external world." BafTalo statistics. Tot. Oswald in Cincinnati Enquirer. Northwest of tho "Blue Ridge" buffaloes razed in countless herds. During the heat . t tho midsummer months they used to re rent to tho highlands, and followed the idges in their southward migration, as tho ipproach of winter gradually crowned the eights with snow. Along the back bones of .11 the main chains of the sunken Allegben is these trails can still be distiutly traced or hundreds of miles, "Buffalo springs," 'Buffalo gap," and scores of similar namas till attest the former presence of the Ameri can bison in hnlities that are now fully ,iiX) miles from tho next buffalo range. The .-utre of our buffalo population is moving orthwest at an alarming rato. Herds, in lie old tune sense of tho woixi, can now be und only in British North America, and ;are and there along the frontier of our orthwest territories.

Their days are nuni'iered. They can ot hide, and their defensive we.tpous are seless against mounted riflemen. Pot unte.rs follow them to their far norther re rents; the international railroad will soon arry a swarm of sportsmen to their west iexican reservations, and in fiftv vears from low their happy pasture grouiKls will pi-wba-jly be reduced to the inclosed grass plots of a ."ew zoological gardons.

RUIN Or THE SUMMER RESORT.. People Who Are tho Nlarcs or Tli-lr I.lltlt' lnln-e--;reed und i'.xtmvn cant lr !. "Oath" in Cincinnati Enquirer. My observation is that greod nnd extrava gant prices have ruined most of our Hummer resorts. Saratoga was doing splendidly ten years ago, and eople who visit! it thought they would likH to have residences thfre, but real estate agents sat upon every corner and began to boom the property. Mr. A. T. Stewart, became disgusted at the attempt of a church to make him pay hugely for a l.ttle piece of ground tlntt obstructed the coin plcte nessof bis I.I.M.-k, so h built around Lhem, darkened their windows and paid no further attention to property there. Judge Hilton has been a sort of John Hoey to Saratoga of late years, and if hn should let go his interi-st the place would prolotbly subside relatively. Hilton's Windsor hotel, 1 am told, is next to empty, and the news we get from Saratoga iu August is that tbo number of visitors bus been very small, running in some of tho big gest hotels not above 4K) or 500, where there are nearly 1,000 bed rooms. The Ijcsi piece oi property mere to io business is t;..ii gress ball, which cost aliout tS(K),om. bti. wm, bought at a foreclosure sale for about $100,000, making a rent of .0,000 or ?,oou a year. Coney island was devoured by Mr. On bin, who made arbitrary rules governing coitnge bites and endeavored to play tho game of the A. T. Stewart estate at Garden City, where no man was allowed to own anything, nnd had to live somewhat like an English tenant, subject to eviction, warning and moral dis cipline. In like manner. Coney island, or that part of it to which the title is good, was picked up by two railroad conijiaiiios, nn.f they seem to think that if it were covered with gold dollars it would lie a cheap pur chase I think the time is coming when Coney island real estate will becheapenoiigli. Indeed, ixiuntry real estate around New Yuri; goes begging, and almost every min who bought a uumber of acres at fancy prices twenty years ago has lived to regret 1m pur chase. I have a friend who spent tSO.OX) on T.0112 island, invented n town, erected a large house and spent plentiful money on his gardens, nnd laid out roads, nnd a few years ago, an noyed by his uninteresting neighlors, and by the willfulness of tho railroad authorities he shut up his house, abandoned the place, and told me some time ago that if I want-nl a piece of ground there he would give m, a deed of it for nothing. I know of men in New Jersey who lxmght picturesque plots oi land, and thought themselves rich, and now are the slaves of their littlo places, and can neither give it up nor t content to live upon it. i'erhaps, on tlie whole, the most con tented people nlmnt New York live in the vicinity of Red Bank and Long Branch. I am told that in tho winter trains down this wav run full, nnd large trains, too. The defect with all building enterprises fn the United States is the exaggerated id -a of the pi-ople that they are going to Kseome rich by buying themselves a homo. The ho tel keciiers expect to make $:;0,0O.i a 3'ear, when by their talents a.id a mount of interest they Imstow they ought to lie satisliod with to,(XK) or $r,(Hin a year. 1 ms una that a man can get rich in ten j ears is one of the leading causes of hinb prices iu all things. Tha is why soum hotels are charging $ "t a day au the rest I. when the people would be just, as well satisti -.1 with a l.ws extensive bill of fare, and would (ill many of these houses, which am now nearly empty, at the old charge prevailing before th-j war of $J..f(i a dav.

The prof.-ssor wishing to go down town, went to put on his boot and got his foot nearly home, when tho bird liegau to flutter and jump around trying to escape The astonished man j.rl.-l the boot from hi foot, terribly frightened, and yellml out.
