VVrltcrg ,
Nr.w YOIIK , Feb. 7. [ Correspondence of
Tin ; Huu. ] There Is a class of industrious
publishers both In New York and Chicago
Just at this mom -lit , from whoso statements
one might bo led to bollevo that they com
pletely owned President Harrison's time , in
a literary sense , for tlio next year or more ,
These men more enterprising than consci
entious in their statements hive : caused
reports to bo circulated which , if they were
true , would imiku the president a much
busier time out of nnlco than in it. The fact
of the matter is , however , that there Is no
basis whatever for all thcso state-mums.
I asked President Harrison yesterday to
what extent he Intended devoting his re
tirement to literary won ; . "To no extent
whatever , " ho s\ld : to me , "so fur as my
present plnns lead mo. It is true that 1
luivo received no end of offers for literary
work of all sorts , from iillsortiof publishers.
In fact , " he smilingly added , " 1 never knew
that wo were such a nation of publishers until
recently. Hut to all such propositions , as
well ns 'those Inviting mo to lecture , I have
given but one reply. 1 wish to leave olllco
unencumbered with promises of any sort. 1
need a rest , and shall take it during the entire -
tire spring and summer. 'there Is nothing
so dlsagrecablu to mo as to feel that I am
under promise to do anythinir. It hangs over
me like a sword , and to promise anything to
the newspapers or magazines wou'd ' bo tome
mo a very sharp sword. In the autumn I
may recur to some things that are. partlcu-
Jurlv attractive to mo. Hut certainly not
'until that time. Then I shall decide to what
extent 1 will , as you say , follow literary
lines. But at present 1 have no idea of writ
ing a single article or delivering a single lec
ture on law , or any topic. "
OintMVltliout Number.
That the president has received literary
propositions almost without number 1 happen
to know , lu fact , ho may bo said to bo suf
fering from an overapprcciation in that re
spect. It is known that President Harrison
is an adept with the pen , and few men in
public can writ-j better than he. Ho could
write an ideal magazine article. This every
editor and publisher know , and they have
indicated the possession of this knowledge
or belief to the president. One proposition
offered him ? -WK ) for a brief article on
politics ; another held out $10.UK ( ) per year
to him if lie would write a short artlclo
each month on auy subject ho might
select. A book publisher offered him
$10,000 for a handbook on the law , and
another house allowed him his own terms
for u handbook ion politics to bo used in the
schools. Editorial positions on literary ,
legal and political papers and periodicals
come to him almost daily. To all these lie
has respectfully listened , as is his custom even
when ho is bored , but no editor or publisher
has succeeded in eliciting the slightest fr.ig-
inunt of a promise from the president. That
ho was attracted by the proposition to de
liver a scries of lectures on law at Stanford
university , in California , is simply to tell the
truth , but even to this ho has in nowise com
mitted himself.
London literary circles are talking a great
deal about a stnlmnant of Charles Dickens ,
tins younger , recently made by him in con
nection with the now edition of "David Cop-
pel-Held , " which the Macnilllans have just
added to their recent series of Dickens'
novels. " 1 have , " says Mr. Dickens , "my
mother's authority for saying she told mo
at the time of the publication of Mr. Fors-
stcr's llrst volume , and asked me to make
the fact public if , after h r death , an oppor
tunity should arise that the story was
lirst read to her in strict conlidcnce
by my father , who at the same time inti
mated his intention of publishing it by and
by as a portion of his autobiography. From
tliis purpose she endeavored to dissuade him
on tno ground that he had spoken with
undue harshness of his father , and espo-
pecially of nis mother , and with so much
success that ho eventually decided that
ho would bo satisfied with working it into
"David Copperlield" and would glvo up
the idea of publishing it us it stood. How ,
after this , the story came to be given to the
public I do not know ; but I have always
thought it a pity that Mr. Forsterdid not exercise
erciso somoof the discretion which is always
supposed to bo left to biographers , but which ,
unfortunately , they do not always think lit
to employ , by omitting the hall'-do/.c'ii or so
Hues , which cannot but have como as a
shock to most people and the dcl'-tioii of
which would not have affected the Interest
or value of the story in the slightest degree.
That Mr Forster did not know what had
passed between my fattier and mother as to
ibis matter I think most probable. That he
did not taKO any stops to Ilnd out 1 know to
bo a fact , "

There is quite a romantic little story being
told in Philadelphia , anent a pretty girl who
not many months ago was a clerk in one of
the two largest book stortw in the Quaker
city. The girl was- bright , and her clever-
ness made as many friends for her of the
customers who came to buy books from her

Gerniantown family , and to feel that she
must work week after week for the small
stipend of . " ) was disagreeable to her.
The girl had made a frinud of one of Phila
delphia's wealthiest and kind-hearted men ,
and at his oftico she presented herself one
day with a modest request whether he could
aid her to secure a better position.
" 1 would like , best of all , to seeuro a gov
ernment position in ono of the departments
ut Washington , " said the girl.
Forthwith the man of inllucnco gnvo the
girl n letter of introduction to ono of the
members of the cabinet , which early the
following week she presented at the depart

retary of the ' -abinet ofllcp , who told her
that the secretary was then too busy to see

success. For the IHth time she came. Then

It was but u wuok thereafter that she
received an appointment of ? 1.'JOO per year.

it was possible forliliu to como and sco her

The kInd-hearted.Philadelphlaii acceded to
the girl's wish. TUon ho was told that a
young man had asked her to marry him the
private secretary who had tried so hard to
prevent her from se ing his chief.

tallied Interesting Information about ( Icorgo
Meredith's worlt as a iou'-imllst , For many
years , llction In Itself was not snfllclently
remunerative , and n good pnrt of his time
was given to writing for the newspapers. In
the early 'sixties , when engaged on "Khodii
Fleming , " "Vlttoria" and "Emilia , " Mere
dith was actually editing a second-rate pro
vincial paper. This paper was tlio "Ipswich
Journal , " an old established Tory organ in
the eastern counties of England. Tliu nov
elist did not reside at Ipswich for the pur
pose1 his leading articles nnd notes were
written at his cottage In the prettiest Dart
of Surrey at a little place called Copsham
and transmitted through the post. ( Seorgo
Meredith is now known to rciriml public af
fairs from a radical standpoint , but these
articles and notes were , of course , written In
harmony with the jwllcy of the paper. The
novelist's Journalism was characteristic , to
say the least. Hero arc some extracts from
a "leader , " which ho published in the paper
apropos of the action which was brought
against Lord Pulmcrstou In the dlvorco
court :
"Among the shrewd men who have at
tempted to solve the problem presented by
our veteran premier , a body has stoutly
maintained that liis political victories have
been all owing to his sueial triumphs , and
that his methods of toasting -tho ladles , '
his Mowing praise of their charms , and his
readiness to descend at any moment from
the ponderous affaits of state to pile delicate
( latteries on their heads , form the mystic
secret and the solution of the puzzle. It is
certainly true that he is well seen of the
ladles. If Kumor bo right , It Is too true.
Hut Kumor is a wicked old woman. We are ,
indeed , warned that nothing less than an in
jured husband threatened , and docs really
Intend , to lay an ax to the root of our
premier's extraordinary success , In a certain
awful court. Wo trust that Kumor again
llea ; but that she is allowed to ppcak at all ,
and that men believe her and largely propa
gate her breath is a terrible comment on
the sublime art of toasting the ladies , as
prosecuted by o ed Juveniles in olllco. It is
a retribution worthy of Uici-lc tragedy. Wo
are determined to believe nothing before it is
proved. "
