ARMAZNDK"

(Copyright by A. C. White and Crown.) II. G. (Lines from Life.) Bout oncet a year Jim Kiley writes a book o' verse ter sell. An' the folks 'at buys it reads it, an 'ey likes it mlsrhty well: His pomes art- fbi!n 'nl common, like the foiks 'em?Ives, I guess. With a :reamln' music In 'em nd a sort er tenderness At creeps into the heart nd makes it somehow l,at in time With the l'.imy of the poet 'nd the ripple of his rhyme; So yo(1 who like the potery you c n read 'nd thi.ik atout Will be glad to hear 'at Riley's got new book out. James Whitcomb Riley's fame as a poet and humorist is so firm'.y established that the publication of one of his v .times is recognized, b:th in England a: d America, as a literary event of prim Irnpo: tance. I:i an estimate cf writers recently given by that Xe.sfr in literature. Dr. Oliver Wendel Holmes, ho elates Mr. Ri'.ey as "a later Hosea Higlow, quite as original ar.-l more vers itile." and owns to "a Rood deal of enthusiasm for this later production of Indiana soil; this delineator of lowly humanity who sings with so much fervor. patho3, humor and gTace," receiving him warmly a3 "a born poet and a veritable genius, who gets down Into the heart of a man in a most telling way." It Ls only fair to Dr. Holmes and poet Ri'.ey to state that the above estimate Ls also the verdict of the reading public. Ills new Wok, which will bo issued by the publishers tomorrow, is a miscellaneous collection of which "Armaz'ndy" Is the feature a3 well as the title. This mysterious title is a relic of Indiana Idiom, a- coinage f the quaint, humcly dialect of the common pepie. i hio own words his use .f it is a-$ "th- name Of th? frirl, rl heroine cf the I . s'erl ., if not Homeric ll'ad. in which I have endeavored to trace the thread of prId thr ush her homespun w b of ommon-plaf-e life of p-rs.

Sir Walter Scott was s doubtful of the reception of WavrTley that not only the first eliti'"in, but Minsmiuent clitiuis t.i the amuint of lctv.e-n eleven anl twelve thousari'l copies, apjieared without the name of th- üiithor. It happened In 1S23 that no W.av"rly novel was In readiness for th? Leipsie fair. A cry arose amongst thr- (if-rm.in booksellers "Forge one!" The thing ws done. A German of Ultra dullness produced a novel entitled "Walladmor." The b.'k appeared in German as a translation from the iriglnal English, ami in this character was dispersed over Germany and across the sea, to London. James Yhi;-omb Riley, ear'.y In his career, met with the exp.Tier.ee common to yuting authors, pirticuhrly writers of verse. Iif-Iievirg that his pr:Mluctions "Would have In-en -well reeeive! had they been UTiiten by an author already famous, he deeiled to tes: t&3 Lef by producing a poem in imitation of A. Poe an,! publishing It as a newly discovered manu script of that authcr. Thr result was "Leoaainle." written upon the fly-leaf of a worn e-.py of Alns.vorih's Latin dic tionary. Thi3 poem was first, printed in the Kokomo (In l. Dispatch ny arrangement with the proprietor. Mr. J. ), Henderson, now AuJitor of State of Indi ana, vh i ha.l full kno.vloJg? of the facts connected with this literary hiax.

Mr. Sted no:. too ni,iiii.am-ii mat t:ie ro'iii was unquestionably written by Poe. This poem was Janvs: Whitcomb Riley's bow to the world of bttfrs. His work had merit which the world was willing to concede. The following Is the poem In full as It will app-ar in "Armazlndy. The author has never permitted It to be printed in his other volumes: LFONAINIIL Leonalnl? Angels namM her; And they fxik the light Of the laucrhim? at am an framed her In a smile of white; And they made her hair of gloomy Midnight, an-l h-r eyes of bloomv Moonshine, and they brought her to me In the solemn niht.

but he, with very few exception In his quaint and kindly way. has always declined to use them. His work is so homelike and real that it Is very difficult for an artist to delineate It. When the publishers expressed the desire that there be a frontispiece for his new volume. "Armazlndy," he shook his h?ad and said. "No pictures, jes' pliin readin." Fortunately a mutual friend solved the vexing question in an unexpected

way. While on an outing last summer, j rambling anng a smiii stream, wun camera and rod, he came upon an oldfashioned watergap. Attracted ny the picturesque scene ho was preparing to take a "snap shot" of it when a country maid, with sun-bonnet and apron, came suddenly into the view. In airy poise she, gazin?. stood. A matchless form of womanhood. He caught her in the photograph in all her jrrace and naturalness, and without ht-r knowing it. By merest chance this picture fsll in Mr. Riley's notice, and he looked upon it as an Inspiration. "That's Armazlndy!" he exclaimed, "and she shall queen it in our new book as frontispiece divinely seeptered with her flshin'-pole'." r -I.FRONTISriKCB OF "ARMAZINDY, The picture delighted equally the pubUshers; and the graceful little maldrii d )es nit know even to this day that she is "Ai miziüdy. and ihat thou.einil.s ci ner likeness win oe a.n.iired all over tne country by the readers of this quaint Volurve. V.th-.uiJ. Ril y is known chiefly as the great po.-t of tilt Jioi.-uer dialect, and in this is masiirly, unapproachable and true; that he can writ: :n pure Knglish as even Shelley or Keats, rn iny gems in his vari .us volumes b ar witness; but none ir.or? sj than a mnnb-r of p .em? which apiuar in "Ai nn.inly." In pome of th.se h intent": mally f.-igns, in a l-;light-ful way. the characteristics of Longfellow, ! Tcnnysm and many other of ta? English poeis. Thai lis has been successful In thi.s 1:; pr-'Ven by the vivid manner in whl h Lo.gf.ll w is recalled in the following: TUR VOICKS. Diwn in the night I hear th"m: Tile Voic s-unknown unguevsed That whb-per, and lisp, an.' murmur, And will r.ot 1-t me rest. Voices that seem to question, In unknown words, of me. Of fabulous ventures, and hopes and d re. i m s Of this and the world to be. Voices of mirth anl music. As in sumptuous homes; and sounls Of mourning, as of gathering friends In country burial-grounds. Cadence r.f maiden voices Their lovers' blent with the?e; An-1 of little chil.tren singing. As under orchard trees. An! often, up fnm the chaos Of my deepest dreams, I hear Sounls of their phantom laughter Filling the atmosphere. Rut wer and ever the meaning Falters an falls and dies, Ani only the silence quavers With the sorrow of my sighs. And I answer: O voices, ye may not Make me understand Till my own voice, mingling with you, Iaughs In Shadow-land. Riley's love of children is more notice able than ever In "Armazlndy." A great many of the poems are In the child dialect, a speech so dear to the hearts of mothers, and to which even the age! gran'ma always listens with rapture anl d 'light. Mr. Riley has taken keen note f all the conscious and unconscious humor of children, and in this book charmingly repro.luces it. This is the way the llttlo hoy goes to ha granma's a poem founded on a ioeni In a juvenile School Reader, which Mr. Riley en thusiastically designates as "The School boy's Favorite." An pa 1st snaggles me 'tween Ms knees An I he n hoi-i tne lines.

The Hoosler Riley realizes the universal prevalence of the critic and with a quaint humor speaks to him as follows: TO A I'OET-CrtlTIC.

ALONG THE BYWAYS.

Last week one of the West India steamers brought to New York and carried away again on her return voyage a quite notable man. He is a native of Jamaica, birn of African parents who were slaves, although he himself Is of free hirth. He is a man of considerable education and wide experience of its kind Ills r.anu is Stibell. Tweaty-live year3 ago and more he was owner and commander of a vessel trading alonff the Spanish Main. He became Interested in the gold discoveries in the Caratal district of Venezuela, which are now in dispute between that republic and the British colony of Cuiana. and secured a large iab rest in the richest mine in the district, known by the title cf the Callao. He also became manacer, developed the mine successfully, and dispensed a n-nal hospitality to travelers at his big. ramblir.if ranche-like house, near the mine works. Finally, when the time was ripe, he succeeded in launching the mine on the London market at a capitalization of about 3,000.000. of which, it is believed, over a million dollars fell to his share. Soon after he retired from the management and settled in or near Kingston. Jamaica, where he 1? looked upon as probably the richest man on the island. He is a man of large stature, very powerfully built, and, although of a deep mahogony complexion, has the clean-cut features of the higher African races. His face is- full of character, and he has an excellent taste in pictures and a fondness for bDoks of the old classical style. This has b?en bis first visit to the United States, as he has an unconqu?rable aversion to the country on account of the traditional indignities put uptn people of his color and blood. 1'robably only the riost urgent business brought him hero uon this Hying trip.-N. Y. Recorder. "Th Te couM scarcely be a better illustration of what a certain lgil man calls 'c .bis.al inofliciency' than this story of a verdict given by a jury s ma years ag) in Crahoma county. .Mississippi," said an attorney of that state.

"There are two things which all cigar smokers might observe with profit to themselves." said Mr. T. C. Hrown'.ee. at the Kbbitt. Mr. Rrownlee travels for a large cigar manufactory and knows a thing or two about the ethics if smoking. "Refore lighting a cigar bite off the end. and. placing the end to be lighted between your lips, blow through it. In thl3 way you get rid of a fine dust that accumulates ir. the cigar when It is dry, which is apt to Inflame your vocal chords and Injure your voice. It is a valuable hint for singers, and I know of ijulte a number of professional opera singers who never light a cisrar until they have blown out the dust. T the failure to do this may be attributed in great part the throat diseases with which steady smokers are afllicted. "Another valuable suggestion from an economic, standpoint is to thrust your cigar into your vest pocket with the pointed end up. .Many vest pockets are so shallow as to cause the end of a cigar to stick out over the edge. The constant rubbing of the coat against the large en.l, which is very much more sensitive than th other, causes it to fray anil break, n?ce3sltating the wetting of th wrapper in order ta make the cigar available at all. Any one who will act on taese two hints will live linger and save money." Washington Tost. The brakeman on a train out of Chicago had been grievously hurt in an accident, ami as he lay on the grass by the ride of the track a group of passengers gathered about him while the doctor investigated the extent of his injuries. "If he had a stimulant of some kind he miirht last for some time," sail the physician after his examination. "Have any of you a Mask of whisky?" "I have." responded a St. Louis drummer, and he handed out a pint of liquor. "Take this," saM the doct'ir kindly as he raised the injured man's head. "What is it. doctor?" he asked feebly. "Whisky. This gentleman from St. Louis has brought it to you," sail the doctor as coaxingiy as If he were talking to a child. "Is it St. Louis whisky?" whispered the brakeman. The doctor looked up inquiringly at the drummer. "I got It there last night," said the drummer. The brakeman. with a last effort, waved the flask aside. "Thank you, d'K-tor," he said very slowly and ir scarcely audible tones, "I'm hurt bad enough already," and he closed his eyes to open them no more on earth. Detroit Free Press.

A chuby little 1oy. with several laches of brown bare lfg be-tween the top of h'.s stocking and the bottom of his kneo breeches, passed before the window of my bootmaker on Broadway. He waa led by his nurse, and hud evidently spent a summer In the country. He looked like a child who had been born well and had been taken the best 6f care of ever fdnee. My bootmaker pointed htm out mournfully, and thus ixpresuved himself: "If that child doesn't die of consumption before he is twelve years old, he will grow up to be a gouty young man. and probably die of apoplexy. Nothing Is .worse for a child of that age than bare leg-s at any time, particularly In the autumn. That's the way fashion kills tiff Its victims. Every child should wear boots. I mean boots with legs on hem, reaching up nariy "to the knee, and for the matter of that bo Should every man.

I have worn bxt legu all my life. Rot'a In summer and winter, and I have also seen exp:rimonts made by turning a craft of old air upon th legs of men who were a.-ieep. The effect is the same as It is when a wt bandage Is applied to the feet of a. sltrplnjr min. It chills the stomach, congests the brain an! generally disorganizes the sytern. The man who wears high lots l?ngthci.s his life by ten years, and a bare b?gel child Is d'med to aa early grave. N. Y. lYese. PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

OUTSIDE OPINION. McKinlev is for Just enough protection to insure "high wages, high prices for wheat and prosperity. It is understooj that he is for a free coinage of silver Whi h will preserve the parity, retain the ratio, raise the price of silver, satisfy the financiers, stimulate silver mining, attract gold from Europe, make money abundant among debtors and just enough among creditors, stimulate trade with countrl-s which buy from us and stop it with countries which would scll to us. Su Louis Republican (dem.). Under the present law the amount of damages that may be recovered for simpl injuries is unlimited, but for injuries ri-snltimr in death only JÖ.ÖoO may be rertivKivd. This has long been felt to be grossly unjust. The railroads have been interested in maintaining the limitation, l.nt thev have advanced no argument in behalf of their position except that the present law saves them from ruin. It is thought to be absurd as well as unjust, however, that $20,000 may Ik recovered for a broken leg and only $5,000 for the destruction of life.-X. Y. World (dem.).
