[ Correspondence of the Br.i : . ] Washington has no moro distinguished eituen than the historian whoso name is imnerishably connected with thai' of his country George lian croft. And cultivalcd strangers who go to the capital to meet Iho eminent people who moro and moro delight to congro- .gate there in tlio winter season , seek nis presence witli an interest tell in no oilier writer. Mr. liancroft is to the public an old gentleman , eighty-six being- consid ered n great age for a man to roach. To tho-o who know him socially hu is youthful in spirit , happy and choorfjil. llo canno bo said to bear Ids ago gracefully , for ho docs not scorn to bo aged. It is diflicult to reali/o th.it ho has scon so many years or passed through the experiences which a life so rich as his must have garnered. Until this winter ho kept up Ins custom of laking a long ride on horseback every morning , and his equestrian accomplish ments were commonlv commented upon , bo remarkable did they appear to those younger than himself. Of late ho has given up this exorcise , and takes instead a short walk or drive. His homo for the past twelve years has been in Washington , and hit house is in II street , between Connecticut avenue nnd .Seventeenth street , within three squares of Iho white house , unJ just across Lafayette square from u. It is a large , doublu , Ihroo-story mansion of brown .stone , without internal orna- nictitation , and is plain looking beside its pretentious neighbors. Not far from hlr. lian'croft's house is that of Washing- ton's other famous and beloved oiti/.en , Mr. W. W. Corcoran , nnd his home , Hko the historian' * is largo and plain. Neither can compare in appearance with the houses of Mr. Mohn Hay or .John Adams , near by"Mr. Coreoran'Sj but I doubl if either theirs or any of the numerous elegant residences In Wash ington attract the altontlon bosto-.ved upon these two ample , roomy , comfort able looking houses. Mr. Hanerofl's house is less frequented by strangers than Mr. Corcoran's , for the latter is a Washington olti/.on whoso life Juia been passed there , whoso wealth was niado there , ami whoso latter years crowned with honors have boon spent there. Mr. liancrofl Is not of the local importance that his neighbor is , but ho is ' .an acquisition to the city which the pub lic appreciates , and many seek his prcs- unco to obtain literary advice , or to socially meet the distinguished man. It is not dlllleult to see him if ono has busi ness with him , or any reasonable excuse for making his acquaintance. On a pleasant morning of last week I ventured to ids front door ami asked the polite servant who answered my ring if 1 could niako an appointment to ecu Mr. Jtanuroft ? Ho was as civil to mo as 1 to him , and said ho would see. A man came- forward , who proved to bo his body ser ? > vunt , a well-mannered German , who inV - V - \ vitcd mo into the hall nnd answered the ' questions put to him witli high good brooding. This man was an interest ing character. Ho said ho had lived ivitli his master for twelve years over since tlio latter was minister to Berlin. I'lto sorvant.was evidently 51 person who md bci'ii trained in a good school , and lis pleasant , serious way produced a 'avornblo iinprcssjon upon inu. "My master is eight y-siv years of age , ind requires my constant attendance , " said ho. And lie added"In all that time I have never had a day to iuy clf. " "Does ago toll upon him nioro tlmu isinil this wintorv" "No ! oh , no ! llo is as well as in other winters , but ho is more aloni1 those lust two years , and is more quiet. ' "What makes Him more so advancing years ? " "Mrs. Bancroft diud , sir , two year ? ago , and since then ho has lived more quietly than before. " I apologized for not remembering tin's , and asked if ho would tell mo of hi- , master's habits. The man sat down near by ( the other servant hnil { rene his way and the house seemed Dorfectly quiet ) and slowly an swered mo. "Every morning,1' ho said , "I go to my muster ut seven , sometimes a little later , and awaken him , and when he yets up 1 have his bath ready and prciwro his clothing for the day. At 8 o'clock his breakfast is borved to him in the library , ami ho eats with relish , lie is a very light eater , but ho enjoys what he takes , and is apt to remark upon anything that pleases him particularly. Ho is not hard to satisfy , mid thinks very little about food. . What Is served to him , ho takes , and seems to fgrget it at once. ' "And how does ho past , the day ! " "llo reads his letters , dictates answers to his secretary and attends to any busi ness matters , and then writes. After the luncheon hour ho either goes out for u rldo , as ho has done this afternoon , or he receives any friends who call and chats witli them. " "lias ho any social life at homoV" "His two granddaughters live with him ; that is , his own and his wife's granddaughter ! but the latter is young , and Miss liuneroft is fond of society , and i.s out a great deal especially in the even ings. " "Ho gives a good many dinners , does he not ? " "Not so many this winter as before. Ho likes to have company to dine with him ; It is the only meal of the day , and ho enjoys to huvo ids friends about him. Miss liuncroft comes into the drawing loom alter dinner and chats with him. ' ' To my Inquiry as to his habit of retir ing tin * faithful Teuton said : "If niiinter has no company , 1 interest him so that ho shall not go to bed too early , and so pass a wakeful might. Usually ho has some one to como in and chat ivith him. " 1 wanted to Jearn if ago affected his .spirits or disposition , but d'd ' not know iitst how to put the quo'ation , While hesitating , the man , us if divining my thoughts , said. "Master is always pleasant. Ho never gets irritable , and no mutter how much ho works ho is never impatient. " "Does ho do a great deal of writing ? " "Yes ; as much as a young man , and more steadily. " Ho tnon went on to say that his master was very methodical and liked everything ' orderly. "On the fourth of every month. " continued Hans , "Igo with him to ha\e his beard trimmed. Ono day the barber said ho thought the board ought to bo cut oil' , but master said. "No , no , barber ! 1 will take cold , " and the barber never olforcd to do moro than trim it after that/1 The earnest , quaint speech of the man was my excuse for staying so long. J went to moke tin appointment for it call , and , finding the master out , the servant entertained mo. llo told mo that his master was born in Worcester , Mass. , and that last summer ho went with him there to make a visit. Ho accompanied Mr. litinerofl to the house where lie was born , ami into the room where ho first saw the light Tim man said the house was built somewhat hko Mount Veruon "U was largo and rambling , and the ancient people who lived tuure treated us handsomely , and made my master glad. We had a pleasant vNH , and master en joyed seeing his old birthplace ; it did him good. " 1 wish 1 could reproduce this man's manner and words ; he was most enter taining and as quaint as a piece of delf ware of the last century. He 'old ' me that fear ot taidnc cold prevented the master from taking any more rides now , but in thunn : season he would ride again. "I trust ho may and for many along year , " 1 said , and the man bowed his ac knowledgments with as polite an air as if 1 had wished him the compliments of the season , llo promised to let mo know when his master would .see me , and , leavinghim my address , I departed. The nest morning a message was re ceived statinn that Mr. Hancroft would eoustho following evening , and at N o'clock the time named we presented ourselves. The reception room into which we were invited was in keeping with the character of the house , large and elegant without needk-s ornamen tation or nhow. The valet , whose ac quaintance 1 had already nuule. u-hcred us into the apartment and my frictnl at once remarked upon his appearance ami bearing. Soon lie invited us tolhe pres ence of hi- , master , and wo entered the room where Mr. Uancroft was standing ne.ir his chair by .the IIro wait ing to receive us. Mr. liancroft gave us a cordial grasp of the hand , and smilingly pointed to seats. His up- poaranco M > astonished me that I could scarcely keep from exclaiming "ilow young you look , Mr. Uaneroft1 but 1 re strained myseltremembering the remark I once heard a bright woman niako , that she know she was considered far older thiiii slio was by people who expressed surprise at her youthful looki , an'P that It was never a compliment to say "how young you look. " lie dial toil politely of the weather , of Washington , asked how long wo had been there , if we llKed it , and so on , and seemed as inter ested in the small talk of the drawing room as any young man. f could not help comparing his appcaranco trith the palnarch 1 had expected to see. llo is as vigorous and active as a man of sixty , much inoio so than many men arn at litly , and his liguro is as erect as an In dian's , i complimented him on his ap parent good health and he said : "My health is excellent at all seasons , though I confine myj-olf to the house moro in the cold weather than I would like. " "Von are engaged upon literary work constantly " "Oh , yes ; a man's best friend is his occupation. It well pursued in early life it becomes his solace when ho no longer needs it as his npuport. " "Ono loves work bolter when there is no strain , do you not think * " "Work is pleasant without wdrry , and , unlike worry , it does not kill. A cheerful , contested mind has its bono- licial ollect upon the body. Another enemy to health almost an great ns worry is the quantity and the quality of the food wo cat. People generally cat too often and oat too much. Two meals 1 find as much as 1 can take , and neither is largo. Mainly 1 eat whlto whoiiten food and driuK sparingly of mild , pure wines , " Mr. liancroft surprised us with this re- murk , in view of his reputation as a rare host and the fame of his dinners. I said us much and ho quietly replied : "lam abstemious in eating and drinking. " His eyes are blue-gray , his hair silver white and his checks rosy. Ho is somo- thiug over iivo feet and a half in height , and rather spare. Tea was brought in , and he cordially urged ns to take a cup. Several other persons came in while we were taking it , and ho observed those who had not taken sugar or cream , as the case might bo , and said to my friend , who took it plain "Oh , I see , you are a dear lover pi tea. " Housed his pocket handkerchiefs , from two pockets , and I noticed that as ho had occasion to re move-otic or the other ho carefully re placed it in about the same fohK Ii- ! > appcaranco was exquisitely neat , and he seemed as wholesome and as pure as the llowers he delights in. The conversation became general , much to my regret , but I had opportunity tea a k h'im about the visit to his birthplace , hoping ho would give us some particu lars , out he evidently did not care to speak of it , for lie said : "The hoii'-c ' where 1 was born is now in the hands of a farmer who sells his produce at the market. " Could anything be more sug gestively indiil'eront than that reply ? A gentleman standing near me said that his Washington homo would bu u meeca for all time for Americans. The grand old gentleman shook his head anil smilingly said he should wel come the return of spring in Washington anil the coming of the llowers , Ho i.s nassionatcly fond of llovyers , and , in reply to .someone's question as to his lavorilcs , paiil : "Tho rose and the hya cinth. " In the warm weather ho enjoys working in his garden and haying the llowcr * come to growth under his eye and cure. As he moved about the room emi could hear his laugh , which is hearty , and : n spontamous as a boy's. Hois a : ! simple and nnalVeeteil in manner as one would expect , and enjoys himself with remarkable freshness and 7.e-.t of spirits. One of his old acquaintances in the room told mo that when his uilu died there was much feat on' the part of his friends for hi.s health , but ho had not changed in the lea-t. Sim died one ye.ir ago in March. Mrs. liancroft was a Mrs. liiss | before her murringe to the historian , and he was her .second husband. Her granddaughter , Miss Blh- . , resides with him , lint neither she nor Miss liancroft wens present in the drawing room on tin-occasion of our call. The attentive valet , wearing a bright bonllonnior , was in and out ot the room attending to his master's guests when required , and dis appeared when not wanted. I under stood trom a friend of Mr. lianoroft's present , that between him and hi ser vant tnon ) was the kindliest rolatiiM- ship , and that the latter was invaluable anil indispiitihiolo tn his comfort. Homo one said to Mr. liancroft that ho was missed on the road IhU winter. "Como to Newport next summer and see me ride ; then I will enjoy it , " he re plied. His physicians fear to have him risk taking cold a this season of the year , and to ho has given up the exercise ho bust loves , aid | imo which the broad streets and roads in and about \Vashing- ton ullord so much opportunity for pleasantly enjoying. 'J lie work upon which Mr. linnnroli is surmised to bo en gaged i.s a study of the historical anec dotes of .Shiiki-spcaro , but ho does not tell his trieiu.s ( of his occupations , and what is known js gathered Irom his soecial collections of books about him and occasional questions regarding cer tain data to clo < ; o friends. The drawing room had a number of poisons in it wioiwo ) loft , and as wo approached preached to say our adieux ho was jok ingly commenting on some one's admis sion to him that a dull dmnor p'irty had driven them to his houso. Ho has a ploasint way with Ids familiar friends , and is altogether a most delightful and entertaining man. "Kind , gracious , brilliant and unscllish , " wore the words of my talkative companion as we de scended the steps and made our way down the handsome street. , # % If the tact that the late Cencrul John V I'Ogan had a decided liking for poetry , and that he himself at intervals indulged in writing impromptu vcr os never be came public knowledgc.il was not a secret among Ins most Intimate friends. The instances related are several \vlu-n , in an idle moment , ho would take an odd scrap of paper ami carelessly write thereon some lines in rhyme. Often these poeti cal cll'usions woru of a humorous charac ter ; at other times they would assume a thoughtful or sorrowful nature , ( < oncral Logan almost invariably destroyed the THIS IS Piece of Ground Yet Platted.

Through the courtesy of a prominent Washington lady 1 am enabled to niuKo public one of General Logan's humorous pieces of verse. The lines printed below were written in honor of n now bonnet in which the owner appeared on a certain occasion before ( jeneral Logan at his house. It is related that Logan was sitting at his desk when his friend entered.

Scratching Ids head for a moment upon ( ho completion of the poem , General Logan again took up his pen and wrote at the bottom of the versos tiio word ' 'S.\kc3 , " as a signature. * * 1 was talking yesterday with a friend who had just returned from a Kuropcan tour , in the course of which she stopped at rioronco , Italy , and had called upon Omda in her homo. From her I learned the following tacts regarding tiio tamous novelist : "It is a common belief that Oulda , or Madiuno do la Kaniec , jts she is known and called by her frienils and neighbors is not an observer of what are called the proprieties of life. This is an erroneous impression. Her manners and deportment are lady-liko , and 1 heard nothing but praise about her habits of life Irom those of her neighbors who know her best. She is proud , and prides herself upon her blue blood , which she inherits from her father , who was an Italian aristocrat , one of the 9ld noblesse. Her mother. Is an KnglUh woman and an ontcrtainjng hostos.s. ( Jidda is a warm personal friend of the ( Jueon of Italy , and she frequently spends hours in thn palace talking with her majesty , and is on the closest terms with her. Her mother resides with her. She lives in a beautiful homo in Florence , and her tastes and those of her mother are reflected in the \\orksof art that cmbollish every 100111. She told mo that all her literary work was done in the early morning. She rises ovcry day at 0 o'clock , and goes straight to her library , where shewoiks three or four hours before partak.ng of any breakfast. 15"fore she begins her literary work she makes herself up into a sort of literary tranco. Her enthusiasm in whatever she attempts m a literary way is very great , anil her pen moves like lightning over the sheets before her. bho writes very quickly in .1 large hand , and when thoroughly enthused somn- times covers a sheet of foolscap paper with only two or throe lines of live words each. Sue expressed to me her great opposition * - position to having any storms \iy \ her published in serial form , und it is evident from the warmth of her muuucr that bho will never permit any of her novels to appear before the public in that form. Her mother told mo that her largest no- cuniary returns had resulted trom her story of 'Under Two Flags , ' with 'Moths' second in order. " * * In lioston , wo are told by a recant writer , a famous author cannot walk along a prominent thoroughfare but ho is followed by scores and sometimes hun dreds of curious eyes. In Now York this is different. We allow our best au thors the unalloyed freedom ot our prom enades , and no head is turned to look after them ; not that the appreciation of our literary jights is less than in lioston , but distinguished people sire encountered so much on ( ( roadway , for example , that one might be continually following with their eyes some luminary in art , litera ture , statesmanship , linance , or the other professions. I remember when Mr. Lowell was in town , some month or six- weeks ago , to attend the Greek play at the Academy of Music , that I followed him down liroadway for nearly a half do/cn blocks , and not a head wa.s turned , although he was rccogni/.ed by many. A nudge , a casual look , perhaps , was all that the poet received. Mr. Stodman Hits through the down town streets , and In and out of Wall street ; U. II. Stoddnrd Haunters quietly up liroadway from hi.s literary "den'1 at the Audi anil Kxprcss ollice to Ids homo in Fifteenth street , George Wil liam Curtis unobservedly walK from the Slaton Island ferry to the Harpers'cstab- ' lishiuont ; Julian Hawthorne and his brother-in-law , George Parsons Lathrot ) , often walk arm in arm uptown ; Or. Hammond mend threads his way in his .splendid open baroiiciho and prancing loam through the trucks and vehicles on liroadway ; Mark Twain , with slow stops and bent head , leisurely saunters through the park on Union square , and for not one of those eminent molders of literary thought has the New Yorker a crane of the neck or a tin not' the head. And the Now York ant'hor understands it , and who can toll but that ho is the bettor pleased by it. It is not pleasant to bo stared at and fol lowed by a battery of eyes , ami our Now York author is by far too modest to srek conspicuity of any kind when ho can avoid it. 4 * * "Wlml mathod.s do you employ in your literary work ? " is a question often asked the author who rises to fnmii. and iho public is always curious for the answer. Chancing not long 8incn to have occasion to write Mr. Philip G. Hamorton , J em bodied in my letter the above question. The answer which it elicited is interest ing. D"l think. " writes Mr. Hanicrton , "lb.it there are two main qualUics to bo kent in view in literary composition fresh ness and llnisli. Tint best way , in my opinion of attaining both is to aim ( it lrcshne,5S in Iho rough draft , with little regard to perfection of expression ; the linwh can bo given bycopious subsequent correction , oven to the extent of writing all over again when there is timo. When ever possible , I would assimilate literary to pictorial execution by tro.iting thorough rough draft a.s n rapid and vigorous sketch Without any rcgan'to di licacy ol workmanship , then I would writu from this a second work retaining as much as possible the freshness of the iir t , but corroding those overnights ami errors which are due to rapiditv My lu.st work , not yet published , 'The Saono , a Summer Voyage , ' was written fit st in tlio lorm of a private diary , tnen very ruugh and rapid manuscript , with a load poiu-d , and from this manuscript it w.is entirely rewritten lur the press , especi ally \sith : \ie.w to concentration. For one volume ol 'Wonderholino' 1 .used shorthand , arid found that , although C'isy to wntorlt could not bo read or glanced over with sullicient ease for liter ary purposes. 'J'hu Intcllectiri ! Life' was begun in quite a dinorunt form niut in letter ) , and many pages were wrntcn before I concluded tluU it wait hcav. } uud that letters would give a lighter and lest I didactic appearance. 'Mnrmomo' ' was begun ami remained in my desk for sev eral years unfinished , when Messrs. Rob erts liros. solicited a story for their 'No Name Series.1 'Mnrmomo' was tnknn up again and finished. ' 1 he earlier part of this novel was written three times. 1 have hoiuelinies , instead of rewriting , sent a corrected rough draft to a type writer. There is an economy of lime in tins , and the work can be recorrcclcd in the typo-wrilor's copy , but on the whole , for very carefully finished work , I think the old plan of rewriting the whole man uscript is superior.
