Writers Who Are Seldom Seen. Of some celebrities we hear a great deal, because they deem it advisable to keep themselves well before the public of others we hear nothing at all, but of their work a great deal. Of literary men Bret Harte, George Meredith, George Gissing, W. Clark Russell and "Q." keep, as the expression is, thomselves to themselves and shun publicity as they •would the cholera. Bret. Harte—white haired now and not so slim as when ho "put 'Sandy Bar' together"—clings to the shady retirement of St. John's Wood and neither lectures, preaches, edits nor endeavors to get into parliament. But ever aud anon we have anew collection of his delightful stories of "Woolly West" life, aud so are made aware that he is still working away as hard as ever.
The fact that Mr. George Meredith recently spoke in public for the first time qualifies him lor the title of "retiring celebrity Mr. Gissing avoids Loudon's roar and dirt with a steady persistence, and Mr. Clark Russell prefers his house at Deal to the most sumptuously furnished west end mansion. "Q." seldom leaves Fowey, a solitary littio township in Cornwall, whither Messrs. Cassell & Co.—fo£ whom he acts as literary adviser—dispatch great parcels of MSS. at regular interval.1}, to be passed judgment upon.—London bun.
Mortality of PhyttScianH.
Dr. Cortright, in the Brooklyn Medical Journal lias written a paper on the "Mortality and Causes of Death In Medical Mrn." This paper is based ou the records of 450 physicians who died in New York and Brooklyu during the past eight years. The average ago of death was 54.G years, and the mortality was about 25.23 as compared with a mortality of 15.93 in clergymen and 20.23 in lawyers. There is a considerable mortality from the self administration of drugs that from consumption is about half the general rate, while that from typhoid fever is very high. There is a high death rate due to arterial sclerosis and other degenerative changes.
The practical conclusion deducted from Dr. Cortright's statistics, says The Medical Journal, is that doctors should take at least three weeks' complete rest and change yearly should be extremely moderate in the use of stimulants should be regular in their meals, never worry and never hurry. This is the kind of advice that doctors give, but do not take. The further suggestion, however, that they all join some medical sickness and life assurance society is a wise one. —Medical Record.
He Must Have Been There.
An anecdote—a perfectly true one— told me the other day of the late Duke of Clarence, reminded me of another about the Duke of Wellington, who, when a party of friends were busily poring over a map of Waterloo, remarked in an unconcerned way, as if they were unaware of the fact, "I was there, you know."
But about the Duko of Clarence. He was visiting his friend and tutor, Mr, Oscar Browning, at his rooms in Cambridge. There hung upon the walls an engraving of Windsor castle, taken from a point of view unfamiliar, perhaps, to the young prince. "What a beautiful place!" he exclaimed as he looked at the picture. Somehow I seem to knowit. I think I must have been there!" "Windsor, sir, Windsor," said Mr. Browning. Of course tho duke laughed heartily with every one present.—London Gentlewoman.
A Judge's Reply.
At one time a delicate question as to tho construction of a statute was discussed before the venerable chief justice of tho New York court of common pleas, the Hon. Charles P. Daly, and after elaborate arguments on each side, the chief justice decided the question in open court, giving his reasons in a few well timed remarks which caused a lull in the courtroom. The silence was speedily broken by the successful attorney, who stood arid said, with an air of patronizing approval, "May it please your honor, I, for ono, agree with you entirely." Tho chief justice, with a twinkle in his eye wljich betokened his enjoyment of the joke, but a perfectly grave face, quietly removed his glasses., and, (unid a breathless stillness, said, "I have, counselor, generally found in my experience that the successful party agrees with the court."
I)u Maurler, by Himself.
They are telling a good story on the other sido of Mr. Du Manrier in connection with a collector of Trilbyana, who wrote to him for an autograph contribution to a volume which he is making up. Tho book was sent back to him with a pleasant letter from tho artist and a sketch representing tho creator of Trilby with angel's wings, a forked tail, his left hand in bis pocket and his right holding acigarettr, .W the curling smoke of which might be read the following modest legend: "Some seem to think he's got wings like an angel, some that he's got a cloven foot and a forked tail. He is quite an ordinary little man, I assure you—un vieux petit bourgeois—ni bou ni mauvais et tres malheureux qn'on s'pccupe lanr, de lui.
Stags.
Pliny says that among the Romans of his time there was a belief that stags could, by their breath, draw serpents from their holes in the ground, and after getting ilicm out would then trample them to death. The early hunters of this country relate many incidents concerning the enmity between deer and serpents of all kinds. It. was well known that stags w.uild often without hesitation attack rattlesnakes, ami by jumping high in the air and descending upon tho serpent, with the foro hoofs drawn closely together would cut the make to pieces.

pi*y.
Mr. Pitt liked practical fun and used to riot in it with Lady Hester, Charles and James Stanhope and myself. Once we were resolved to blacken his face with burned cork, which he most .fitTenuously resisted. At the beginning of the fray a servant announced that Lei IS Castlereagh and Liverpool desired to
1
him onbusinoss. "Let them wait in tho other room," was the answer, and tho great minister instantly turned to the battle, catching tip a cushion and belaboring us with it in glorious fun. \'e were, however, too ruiVny and strong fur him, and after ton minutes' fight uot, him down and were daubing his face when he said: "Stop! This will do. I could easily beat you all, but we mi not keep those grandees waiting au7 longer,"
His defeat was, however, palpable, and we were obliged to get a towel aud basin of water and wash him clean before he coui'l receive the grandees.
Being thus put in order, tho basin was hidden, and the two lords were ush ered in. Then a ne^* phase o? Mr, Pitt's manner appeared. Lord Liverpool's aspect is well known—melancholy, bending, nervous. Lord Castlereagh was a model of quiet grace and strength. What was my surprise to see them both bending like spaniels on approaching the man we had just been maltreating wiiii such successful insolence of fun But Mr. Pitt's instant change ot ni-.mier nud look entirely fixed my at ntiuii. His tall, ungainly, bony figmc seemed to grow to the ceiling his head Was thrown back, his eyes as if reading ihe heavens and totally regardless of the lending figures near him.—"Memoirs of Lady Hester Stanhope."
Ore Deposits.
Ingenious theories have from time to time been advanced by scientists relating to ore deposits—the cause, time, manner, etc.—and among the most recent and able of these Professor Le Con to may well be ranked. His conclusion is that such deposits, using the torm in its widest sense, may take place from many kinds of waters, but especially from alkaline solutions, these being tho natural solvents of metallic sulphides, and the latter are usually the original form of such deposits. They may tako place from waters at any temperature and pressure, but mainly from those at high temperature and under heavy pressure, because, on account of their great solvent power, such waters are heavily freighted with metals, and tho depositing waters may be moving in any direction—that is. may be up coming, horizontally moving, or even sometimes down going, but mainly up coming, because, by loging heat and pressure at every step, such Waters are sure to deposit abundantly. Furthermore, Professor Le Conte says that deposits may take place in any kind of waterways, suoh as open fissures, incipient fissures, joints, cracks and even in porous sand stone, but especially in large open fissures, the latter being tho main highways of ascending waters from the greatest depths. Deposits may also be found in many regions and in mankinds of rocks, but mainly in mountain regions and igneous rocks.
Took the Wrong Antidote.
man was arraigned before Justice Richardson on a charge of disorderly conduct. Ho was found intoxicated on Clark street.
The prisoner told tho court he wa-s not in the habit of getting drunk and declared on this occasion he was excusable. "Your honor," said the prisoner, "I got homo late last night, and before starting to bod I went to my medicine cabinet to get a dose of cough sirup. I thought I know just where the bottle stood, and that I could get it in the dark. I made a mistake and drank a big swig of some strange mixture. I thought I was poisoned, and rushing down to the drug store with tho bottle still in my hand I linked tho clerk for an antidote. He smelled what was left in the bottle, and then says he: 'Myfriend, all the autidote you need is to swallow a comb ami brush. That stuff is hair vigor.' ".fudge. I just felt so ashamed of myself that I started drinking."
He was discharged.—Chicago Inter Ocean.
A Lincoln Letter.
Georgo Kluetsch, editor of the Lincoln (Neb.) Freie Presso, has in his possession in the handwriting of Abraham Lincoln, written in 1859, an interesting letter. It was written to T. J. Pickett, at one timo editor of tho Republican paper in Rock Island, Ills., who has given it to Mr. Kluetsch. It reads as follows:
SlMMNOt'iEMj, Ills., April 10, 1850.
T. J. Picki-tt, liscj.: 3iv Dkait Km—Yours of the 13th is just received. My innuRenients are such that I cannot, at any very early clay, visit Rock Island to deliver a lecture or for any other object. As to the other matter you kindly mention, I must, in candor, say I do not consider myself fit for the presidency. I certainly am flattered and gratified that some partial friends think of me in that connection, lut I really think it best for our causo that no concerted effort such as you suggest should be made. Lot this be considered confidential. Yours very truly,

Old English Journalism.
The interesting reminiscences of G. J. Holyoko, recently issued, give some facts showing that English journals were not always as free from scurrility as they .are now. The Loudon Times, for instance, which then had not adopted the rule of excluding "pottry," once pulpf'shed some verses on O'Connoll beginning—"Slimo condensed of Irish bog, liar, traitor, demagogue." The same journal also spoke of its neighbor, The Morning Chronicle, as "that squirt of filthy water," and Tho Morning Chroniclo referred to Tho Morning Post i.s that "slop pail of corruption.
