Local Literary Celebrities.

Last Sunday's Chicago Horald contained a review of the leading literary people of America. Our local talent, as usual, came in for the "lion's share,"' as follows:

A HAPPY LITERARY MAN.

St)me authors are particularly fortunate, and I have always regarded Maurice Thompson as

ono

OL that class. Mr.

Thompson is one of the happiest authors in America. He is literary editor of the New York Independent, but the publishers of that periodical give

him

per.

feet liberty to go where he pleases and take

hiB

editorial work with him. What

ever he must see is sent to him from the office, and he

goeB

wherever he can work

beet. In summer he lives at Crawfordsvillo, Ind., where ho owns a large and beautiful old-fashioned brick mansion, which, from its tree-covered hill, overlooks the little city, and is one of the really superb homes of the west. In winter he and his entire family go to a little Creole hotel in Bay St. Louis, Miss., where Mr. Thompson gots all the sailing, rowing, fishing and shooting that he desires, and where he can, as he expresses it, "work like a stem engine and never feel tired." He has refused to lecture, although he is in great demand. One manager offered him 8200 a night for §100 lectures this winter, but he refused. He is an orator of remarkable attractiveness, and was called back to lecture oight times in one city, aud yet he i3 as shy and reserved as a bashful boy. He is a hard man to find when you want an interview with him, and has more ways than a fox to evade troublesome visitors. In Crawfordsville he is most often seen riding or driving with his family. At Bay St. Louis he walks as if training for a race what time he is shut up in his room with his secretary and his manuscripts. From 8 o'clock a. m., to 2 o'clock p. m. are his hours of work, and he permits no interference. His son Claud, who has just fiL.ione'1 his course in collegers his secretary and companion, and is training himself for journalism. Mr. Thompson is a great student of Greek literature, and is one of the uncompromising advocates of Greek study in our colleges. When he was asked, not long ago, if he had any hobbies, he answered: "Yes, iwu noble ones Greek literature and plenty of fresh air."

MRS. ZERELDA WALLACE.

The sweet and grand foster-mother of General Lew Wallace is seventy-five years of age, and yet, as one of the foremost temperance lecturers of the age, is always busy and usually traveling in the interest of the W. C. T. U. She is alive to every live question, and known how to discuss it.

Now General Wallace is, from all accounts, ono of the

moBt

secretive of

writers. When fashioning a story he thinks and works prodigiously and continuously, but keeps his thoughts and work to himself. He delves in

Becret

chambers and forges in his own workshop, He does not submit his manuscripts to critics, however much he may value their good judgement. Consequently one of his books is peculiarly a section of his personality and a revelation even to his intimates.

The relation between Mrs. Wallace and her stepson, the general, are said to be particularly close and beautiful, but she knew nothing of "Ben Hur" until it waB on the market and the author asked her for her opinion on it. "Oh, my son, it is a none such of a story! But how did you ever invent that magnificent character, tho mother?" "Why, you dear, simple heart (kisstng her), how could yon fail to see that tho mother is your own lessed self?"

In truth, Mrs. Wallace will ever stand as one of the most superb mothers re

wm te •*. w, .»a^ »,!y

2c.

corded in litorature, and after thereador looks at her picture he should learn something of the character of tho original in hi6 "Ben Hur." It is owing much to her strong an elovating influence that General Wallace wrote (with a purposo) this ono of the very few great works produced by an American of late years. It took tho people several years to learn that it was even above par, but now there is no book which so often "goes to the bindery," from our public libraries. Ono of the events in the book world last year was the splendid illustrated edition of the famous historical novel.

Mr. Carney, of No. 7, Harrison township, Boone county, was in the city last Saturday.

Union township institutes are much more interesting than the average institute has been.

Nannie VanSandt has the condolence of tho toachers in her sad bereavement,tho doath of her mother.

Our Uiachers are not roosting places for flii-, but a few of them fail to keep the cob vebs from the ceiling.

Second collection for benefit of tho Indiana educational exhibit at the Columbian exposition will be Feb. 11.

Now is the time to prepare your work for the educational exhibit at the Montgomery county fair next September.

The report of the commissioner of education is a very interesting ono. He deals at some length on the systems of education in other counties.

The teacher might as well attempt to make the Mississippi flow toward Canada as to be always objecting to the work laid out by the state board of education. He should either go to work or make room for others.

The following is the programme of the next Coal Creek township institute, to be held at Wingate on Feb. 13,1802. School Government... W?^60?

A Ghastly Find.

While visiting tho sceno of the late Monon wreck last Saturday M. H. Youngblood, of this city, found frozen in the ground a human tongue. The member had been torn from tho roots and probably belonged to Madam Irma Von Rokey, tho actress who was so horribly mangled. Tho tongue is being preserved in alcohol at the finders residence on west Wabash avenue.

An Ice Cream Eating Horse.

The soup eating, horse

paleB

into in

significance when compared to a horse thai came under our observation one day this week. The animal in question is the property of D. N. Morgan, tho druggist, and possesses an appetite that will surely bring it to an early grave. This peculiar equine has a ponchant for ice cream and so craving becomes his horseship's appetite at times for this delicious luxury that he almost asks for it. As an example of the animal's supernatural intelligence in this line the doctor rolated tho following interesting little anecdote: Said he: "One morning during tho intense drouth last July ye were attracted by the peculiar actions of the horse, which was running at large in the yard. The ice man had just thrown his usual pennyweight of frozen acqua pura into the yard and the animal would run first to the ice and then to the cow shed. This he repeated several times. His moaning was plainly apparent. It spelled ice cream as plainly as a brute could do it." That this taste of the horse is unnatural is well known and his delicate and sensitive appetite can only be ascribed to his luxurous surroundings and cultivated associations. He shows a decided preference for Neapolitan cream, but will often become reconciled after being fed a quart of the every day mixture, and the doctor humors his royal horseship's aesthetic appetite with the frozen luxury as often as his puree will permit. With the exception of the anecdote tho doctor's genial wife vouches for the veracity of his statement and we are left with no other alternative than to believe it.

Costly Murder Case.

The announcement that the attorneys had appealed the celebrated Pettit case to tho Supremo Court, and that the Judge of Montgomery County had appointed the two prosecutors who secured Pettit's convention to brief the case for the State, causes an investigation of the figureB of expense so far incurred in this case. Mrs. Pettit died in this county July 17,1889, and some months after, her husband, a prominent Methodist minister, was indicted by the Grand Jury and charged with her murder by the administration of repeated doses of strychnine. Along trial resulted in the conviction of the defendant and his imprisonment for life.Tlv -.-ase went toCrawfordsvillo on a change of venue. There the accused asked that the Court assign him counsels, as he was without means. Then the county waB in the hole for all the expenses both of defendant and prosecution. The attorneys of Pettit, after his conviction, presented a bill of $7,500 to the Commissioners of the county for their services, but the Board declined to allow so large a sum. Thereupon the attorneys withdrew their claim, announced that at the proper time they would bring suit for a much larger sum, as they have since prepared the appeal papers, and, if a new trial is granted, will get still another claim against the county. The records of Tippecano county show, how* that up to the present time there has been paid to prosecute this case the sum of S7,526. And the defendant's attorneys are yet to be settled with. If the bill is paid and tho case stopped with the first trial, the people of this county would be out nearly $15,000 to prosecute this one car,e.—Lafayette correspondence to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
