Bret Harte as a Keeper of Engagements Cold-Blooded Murder Ren- dered Safe. Romeo as an Iceberg---Juliet as a Pretty Woman. An Original Publication. From ‘Our Own_ Correspondent. A New York, Nov. 21, 1872, Tt wonld hardly be thought that, even in the grest city of this Contiment, there are no men who follow literature strictly a8 a profession. It isnot that they object to_ them, practically. They cannot depend on it. It may be & luxury; it cannotbe a necessity. 'Tolive, unless they have scquired independence otherwise, they must haye Tecourse to some Tegular :bu_piness,— something thore directly meeting piblic wants or reflecting public interests, more closely iden- tified with the events of the day and the hour. * AUTEORSHIP ELSEWHERE. In and shout Boston, & few authors seem to live by their pen; but this i rether in sceming than in fact. Longfellow has long been in com. fortsble circumstances apart from his labors; Lowell is almost wealthy by inheritance; Wh.\m_ar has little farm, and subsists in Spartan simplic™ ity; Emerson lives plainly and frugally; Holmes has private means; Whipple is the literary ro- viewer of a newspaper; and 80 with the rest. In London, many persons of both sexes de- pend on literature, though not few havd‘Govern- ment positions, or hold the editoriai chairs of mag ines, * In Paris, where the newspaper, in sny true sense, does ot exist, nearly all the literary men are copnected with the pressas story- writers, reviewers, or critics. They are not journalists, theyare simply literary men em- ployed on newspapers which have no news. TIn Vienna, Berlin, and other leading capilals, Titerature has followers, but few devotees, for the resson that she starvesher devotees, and would her followers if they came too near. _’Ihe German authors usually have places in Univer- sities, professions in_law, medicine, or some ecialty, to sid them in keeping the wolf from The doos. Tn fact, all the word over, tho au- thor, unsustained by other sgencies than su- thorthip, is financially a poor deil, and is forced to help himself, if not to bread, at least to cake, through other sources, AUTHORSHIP HERE. 8o New York is not materially different from other cities in this regard; and yet it is a * singular fact that literature is not self-sustain- ing in & city whero are 50 many rewards and 80 many opportunities for every sort of activity. ‘Who among our literary men is entueg' such? ‘William Cullen Bryant writes poems and trans- Jates “Tlieds” because, having been for nearly two generations the principal owner of the Fventng Post, b scquired the means to_insure jeisure, Parke Godwin made his pecuniary in- dopendence also by his interest in the Post. “The competency gained by Bsyard Taylor comes Jargely from his stockholdership in the une.

Richard Henry Stoddard has a clerk- ahip in the Department of Public Docks. Ed- mund Clarence Btedmsan is & stock-broker; E. G. Squier, the archmologist, is the editor of Fr Zestie's Tllustrated News; George Wil liam Curtis ig_the leader-writer of Harper's Weekly, the ““Easy Chair™ of the Monthly, and the ‘*Old Bachelor” of the Bazar. SoImight sontinue to show that every man of literary rep- ntation in the city owes his subsistence neither to his reputation Dor bis writing talent. TEE WOES OF LECTUBERS. You have observed that James Redpath, of the Boston Lycenm Bureat, recently vented his in- Gignation against Bret Harte, use the ec- centric suthor had failed to lecture in that city on 'a certain evening, s he had been advertised to do, Mr. Redpath seems ‘to ‘be of the opinion that lecturers, and even men claiming to be rare geniuses, are bound to Leej their appointments ; forgetting that punctual- ity is & vulgar virtne, which the commonest men «of business practice, - . ‘What is the use of thinking oneself a genius if one be held accountable to_ ordinary rules and regulations ? * The trouble between Mr. Harte and Mr. Red- poth is, as I understand it, that the latter made 3 number of engagements for the lecturer af prices below the figure agreed upon between them. The engagements under the rate were for emall towns lying directly on he route, which the menager of the Bureau thought the * Heathen Chinee ™ would be glad to accept, and which it 18 common for Buresux to make. Mr. Harte took excep- tion to_this arrangement, considering. that his ecrvices were undervalued thereby, and, m con- Soquence, ordered all -his engagements made with and by Mr. Redpath to be cancelled. This order, coming too late, in the_judgment of the Baresu, - the lecturer was_held to the originel contract, and the contract duly broken. Mr. Redpath is very angry with Mr. Harte, and Mr. Harte equally irate with Mr. Redpath. They spesk of one another in terms by no mesns complimentary, and legal measures are talked of &8 a result of the quarrel. They may, ere long, have recourse. to that desparate remedy,—card-writing. BREET HAR: from a1l T hear, i dsterminfi to prove that he has the eccentricities of genius at least. Ieis reported to be 2n habil violator of all sorts of engagements, whether social or literary, and to be sbsolutely incapable of doing anything et the time promised. ere are those who eay that ho has not yet written 8 line of the lecture he wzs to deliver a week 8g0; that magazine-arti zles which were to be published last month are ptill in his brain; and_that the play he was to have completed ere this time, for the Fifth Avenue Theatre, remaing but a shadowy outline. this be true, it is ex- tremely fortunate for Mr. Harte that he is & man of large wealth, and therefore abundantly sble, 50 far as money goes, o despise publishers, and lsugh at the. absurdity of keeping an sngagement. If he should have happened to bo poor andin debt, he would be one of the un- Fisest of mortals to take the course which is as- serted to behis; but, with riches and genius, with fame_and undisturbed self-consciousness, zwhy shonldn't s fellow obey his own whims, reciless of justice and the fealings of others? We have been having, 28 you are aware, ». . ASOTHER DELIBERATE MURDEE, pommitted by & brutal husband in the name of wounded honor. The whole secret of the kill- ing of Anthony O'Neill by James C. King seems -to be, that the former had been 8 witness of the ter's cruclty to his wife, and was willing to testify to the fact in Court. King had learned by numerous _precedents_that it is entirely eafe \for- any husband to murder sny man, if he pre- 1tend to balieve that the selected victim has in- aterfered” with his domesticity. Consequently, :he declared O'Niell to have been his wife's Jover, and when he had & good opportunity, \stepped behind the poor fellow, and in the mast \sozinrfly and cold-blooded manner, shot him +de; : s ) . Ismi it almost time that some method should ibedevised to stop these infamous assassina~ ons ? .

One wonld suppose there must be an end aome time o' these roaring legal farces, and that the broad burlesques of justice might ulti: . mately react, even in New York. It i only.a foew.days since that a notorious ruffien, who, in sll probab brother, deliberately murdered an entirely inno- cont man, after two previous atiempts, on the retext his victim had slain his relative, d then, to cap the l:!imaxhiho assassin had the boundless sssarance to tell an interviewing orter that he Joved and trusted in the Lord ; st he believed in & future state; and that he mo and! chard B.

COLSTOUN. FIRES. The Cause and Prevention of Fires. Tothe Editor of The Chicago Tribune:’ ¢ Sm: Somuch has been said and written- in regard to fires, their causes and prevention, that it would seem almost unnecessary, or perhaps useles, to offer any further suggestions on the subject; nevertheless, if your readers are not already surfeited with voluntary advice dnd opinions, I will venture some further reflections on the causes, and means of prevention, of large fires: - e L One year ago, or soon afier our great fire, I wrote up and published & small pamphlot on this subject. Therein I endeavored to show that we should 80 construct our buildings that large fires could not occur; and this, not by building what we ave accustomed to eall fire-proof buildings, in the strict sense of the term, but rather by Duilding all our buildings so that they shall be snfiently Sro-proof £ intercept_the rapid spread of a fire through them, in this way, Koep it within the contzal of ‘the Fira Depart- ment. The fact is undoubtedly known to many, that, in several of the leading commercial cities of England, an attempt was_made, some twenty to thirty years sinco, to build fire-proof ware- houses; and the_ best building talent ‘in the coun 28 employed in the construction of euch buildings, of what was' then supposed without doubt to be fire-proof materials, name- ly: stone, brick, and iron ; and these buildings, in whose construction—walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs—no or other combustible material had a place, were filled with merchan- dise of an inflammable nature, which took fire by spontanecus combustion, 85 was belioved, and the buildings tbat confained them melted down like 8o much wax, These, and other like M.f.emfi!a at fire-proofing buildings, both at home and abroad, prove conclusively ¢hat it1s next an _impossibility to ereot s building that is sbsolutely = fire-proof. Nor, in the opinion of the writer, is it nuceuuliy to do 80, except for some epecisl purposes. It is, .8 before stated, far better to bmild all our buildings 0 that, if & fire originates in ove of them, it will burn but slowly, and, by this me: confine the fire to the buulding in’ which it originated. ‘This is what I advocated one year ego, and I am more than ever convinced that it is the only feasible mothod of preventing grest conflagra- tions. If Irightly understand it, THE TRIBONE advocates substantially the same thing. _ It is a well-known fact that mortar is a ma- terial that is much less injured by heat than iron, and it i8 for this reason mainly that, in Tradce and Italy, snd some other European States, it has come fo be an almost universal custom to fill in between wooden joists, studded partitions, rafters_of Mansard and other roofs, 2nd such like timber-constructions, with a coarse mortar or_concrate; snd it is also a fact, well known to- those who kmow anything about it, that a fire can make but slow progressin a fldor, partition, or roof that is 60 constructed. It may be objected that this filling in process ‘would be too great a dead weight for the timbers to carry; but.the ingenuity of the architccts would soon devise a way to mako it aslight as ‘practicablo, and the extra expense would be 6o inconsiderablo that property-owners would scon find it cheaper than to have buildings frequently ‘burned. Modern ingenuity hasalrendy deviseda method for substantially accomplishing this, by the use of iron laths, and a small amount of moriar; and there are varions other methods of more or less merit, which will produce the same re- gults, if people will only avail themeclves of them. Nowooden j or rafter will burn so 85 t0 help on & confiagration if it is encased in & close compartment, a8 between the floor above and the ceiling below & tier of joist, providing this inclosure is absolutely air-tight; and this can readily be made so by the use of iron-lath and mortar, or by filling in with mortar or con- crete, on the European plan, In the first ar- rangément, the surronndings might become S0 hot as to bake or carbonize and convert the joists into charcoal; -but they would not blaze and help to burn other inflammable materials; for the very good reason that there would be no supply of oxygen, without which combustion is impossible. For much the same reason, joists, studs, and rafters that are filled in with concrete flush with their edges, will only burn the edges of the raft- ors & little, and then _go out, or, if * they burn out entire, will only do 80. after a comparatively Jong space of time, and & fire would - Epresd 80 lowly that it would rarely, or never, go beyond the building in which it originated. . This, in my judgment, is_the true theory of building, if we would protect ourselves against such disastrous conflagrations as visited our city one year ago and Boston more recently. Manserd roofs are no doubt fire-traps of the worst kind, but this results largely from the fact that they are so high up that the firemen cannot reach them. As at present constrncted, they incrense the danger from fires immensely, no doubt; et it is both possible and practicablo to construct them so that they msy be compara- tively free from danger. Europeans, beside protecting these lumber-piles by the in ‘process, which I have bofore indicated, are gen- erally careful to carry np stone or brick walls above the roof as frequently as circumstances will admit, and thereby add another protection which we aro apt toneglect. °,, 5 Another source of mischief in case of fire in- &ide a building i8 the ‘modern improvement called elovators. Thess, however, can be built of, or ratherinclosed in & light, hollow hrick wall, and be securely closed with iron doors at eachi floor, and, in thisway, be entirely free from any danger by way of communicating fire from ono story to another. Tarand gravel roofs are believed by many to be a source of danger; and, while Id0 not share in‘the apprehension that meny doregarding them, that danger, if there is_any, Wik e eutirely overcome by overlsying the roof-boards “under the felt with aninch of mortar; after which barrelsof tar, or any other combustible mater- ial, may be bumed upon it with impunity. Bince the great fire, several of my clients have adopted this plan of covering their roofs with mortar, and one of them informed me, 8 few days since, in consequence of it, he saved one- fourth 1 per cent of insurance, which smounted, in a gingle year, to more than the cost of cover- ing it. % Rtore thian twenty years ago, and befora T be- came a resident of this city, L resorted to_ this method of covering the floor-linings with an -inch of cement mortar before lsying the finishe ing floor; and I have no doubt whatever that, it this process was generally adopted, with the ad- dition of lathing the ceilings with irpn lath, ox- tending it entirely out to the walls all. around, with such other inexpensive precautionary.meag- ures ss the good judgment of an architect would suggest to him, it would more than_repay the cost by the reduction in insurance risk on the bnildin%‘nnrl ita contents: Itis.of little uge to make one building fire- roof, and surronnd it with those that will” burn ge{am the firemen can_réach them. What we want is some inexpensive me.ns of making all our buildings partially fire-proof,—so far so that o fire, if it gets atarted, will bun so_slowly sstobe entirely under control. This may be +| in this done after the European plan for wood construc- tion, or by some of the cheaper, thongh perhaps lesa effectuel methods of semi-fire- proofing which I have pointed out. _And, while we may shut our eyes to the necessity until we are overtaken by another couflagration, to which we are just as much exposed as ever, it behooves 18 o consider whether it is not, after all, batter to build a little more_thoronghly in this respect, and psy s littlo less for_insurance and the sup- port of 80 extensive a Fire Department. - - The new Times bnfldoigg nOW I:emg argctei:tn this city, thongh of wooden construction in-part, inside, 15, nevartheless, made substantially fire: roof on the same general principles which I ave herein advocated, althongh the manner of doing it is quite unliks soything heratofore in ‘use, and, if well execnted, will, L have no doubt, ‘prove an entire suifieis.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: 232 Sm: Bince tho late great fire in Boston, the ‘public has been agitated anew by. s vivid recol- Jection of the Chicago fire, buta little overa property were consumed by the flames. . A nati= .ral inquiry ig made by-every one, whether or not more property or lives conld have been saved.if better facilities were given the Fire Department to reach the tops of high buildings with their streams of water.. On this point we are reminded of the burning of .the Drake- Farwell'Block, in 1870, when the fire originated inthe loft of the building, burning its way.to the basement. Those that saw that fire were of the unanimous opinion that, if water could have ‘been got up ‘to the floor on which the fire start- ed,” at the time-the engines arrived on the ’ Erou_nd. the building could have been saved with ut s comparatively slight loss. A it was, the engines were” compelled to play their streams upon the outside walls, leaving the fire undis- turbed to burn its way to the ground. In addi- tion to the property destroyed, lives “wors lost is- fire, 88 well, also, the lives of three braye firemen in the building of Wisdom & Lee, on Canal streét, some bwo years ago, having in discharge of _ tlieir duty gone to perilous posi- tions. In rotiring to safoty, they were lost in the dense smoke, and werounable to find a means of escape from the burning building. And more or lesa lives are lost for that same reason. 1t is an established fact, renderad 80 by neces- sity, that, when an alarm of fire is given, and tho TFire Departmont reach the fire, tho first thing generally dona is to break opou ' the doors, and, if the fire is on the upper floors, tho firo- men run up to whero the fire is with their hose. This, under the present order of things, is ne- cesgary ; but, by opening the doorsbelow, s draft s furmished e flames, —fho sumeas Ly bponing the dampers’ of & stove,—which, we el know, increases _their fury, =and rend- ers | their Gubjugation mmore dificult. Aftor the firemen get up stairs, their rotrent is often cut off by the stairs catcling fire, for that is the natural course for the draft to take. In this case, they must escape as best they can, either by jumping from_s window, or by stch other medns as are providentially afforded them. My purpose is to call attention to & recent in- vention of Mr. Henry A. Richards, of this city -that will obviate all of thees difiiculties, rendo: ing it an easy matter to get hose to the top of the highest building in ono moment's time, s was dome on tho Hamiin & Fslo [Building, during the Convention of the Nationel Board of Underwriters in this city this past_summer, under, tho dircction of Firé Marshal Williams. The invention consists of an iron ghaft, extending_either over a single window, or the entire length of tho building and on all sides, a8 may be dcsired, and sccreted in the cornice, entirely hidden from view. Upon this shaft are coiled flexible wire-rope Iadders, of sufticientlength to reach the ground; in this upon which the ladders are coiled is & sheave ‘throngh which passes s singlo wire rope, with hooks at each end, Which unrolls with tho Iadder, both ends renching the ground. To S}aamta this machinery, a box similsr to tho fire-_ arm bozes i8 placed in any partof the buil ing, on the outside, where a policeman can Lave accoss (fire-alarm box-keys fitting _their boxes), or in the ofice of & hotol. When an alarm of fire is given, the box is opened, and the lever presenting itself is pulled. This releases the brake that holds the ehaft, and_the ladders descend slowly in front story of the building mey step from his windows on to tho ladder, with_his back to tho wall, 2ad. descend in safoty to the ground. The Fire De- partment arrives upon the ground; onooad of the wire-rope is booked on 0 the hose and the other to the hosc-cart, end the horse led off, and, in less than orie moment’s timo, tho hose is on the top of the house; the firemen ascend the ladder to the roof, o to either story, 28 the case may require, and play their stream on the fire, without wasteof time or water, And this may be dono from the outside of the build- ing, Tithout opening a door or & window on the ground ficor. The Isdder remains intact and Serviceable as long as tho walls stand. For eaving lifo and valuables this machine is especially adapted. As tho ladder and shaft will sustain a weight of from 7,000 to 50,000 pounds, anything from a piano to the smellest articlo can be lowered upon it. In hotels, or buildings occupiod for offices oF slcoping Tooms, a tont web-strap is provided to Le stxapped around the broast, under the arms,—of zu invalid or a timid ‘person, unwilling to descend the ladder; t0 which is fastened ona of the hooks in the end of the Loso elovator,—whilo tho other is Leld 2nd controlled by parties on tho ground below. So much in explanation of an myention which has just come into usothis present summer. It is used in this city by the Gardner House, and’ Hamlin, Hale & Co., while other hotels expect to Tse it when far enough completed. 4 This communication is called forth by noticing & lotter pablished in your ifsue of the 18th inst., from Mr. F.

Evidence of Nirs, 0°Neill-Mler Solemn Penunciaticn of the Murdercr of ¥ler Flusband-—Scenes in the Court Room. _From the New York Herald, Nov. 22. The inguiry into the cause of tho death of Anthony ¥. O'Neill was resumed - and concinded esterday before Coroner Herrman, at'the City Hall. It resulted in a verdict by the jury that O'Neill was “ deliberately” shot by King. The investigation. was commenced shortly after 10 o'cl and_was closed about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It will be seen by areport of the. proceedings, a8 given below, that the evidence Was of & very conclusive character, and concen- trated with a fatal directness against the pris- oner. The firsb witness was . O'Neill, the wife of the decersed. Seldom has the opportu- nity been afforded to any jury to listen to & wit- mess who had =0 dosp’ n porsonal - interest in the story she related that conld with 80 much cléarness, and yot with such an absence of feminine weakness, testify to facts that were fraught with consequences so mo- mentous with a minuteness that resembled & pre-Raphaclite picture she detailed each incident of that fatal staircase Ecene, and, with tones that were quite reverential agd & long way re- moved from fanaticism, she described the im- mvm_ed ceremonial that introduced her hus- d into o E - THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, G and closed that description by reciting the maf- nerof his death in the simple words, * and then he breathed his last.” Her denunciation of - the. prisoner when she was called upon by the Cor-' oner to formally identify King cm‘x]dy not have | -been surpassed by any ‘tragic actress.

O'Nell, and ng. was told by the Coroner to stand up, Mrs: O'Neill'drew her crape veil a lit- tle on one side, evidently.to enable the prisoner tosee her face, and then, as King stood appar- éntly unsbached by the ordeal, she ‘mads the sign of the cross, and 28 she made it she said, with & slight ' tremor, but with a tone of voice that was charmingly musical, and -with a de- libersteness that seomed to send a hush of solemnity around the Court Room, “In the name of the: Father, the Sop, and’ the Holy Ghost,” snd then raising her indes finger, and Bolding it with ® steadinesa that showed mot the slightest sign of trembling, ehe seid, with & world of feeling in every syliablo, * That is the man.” She held ker finger in that attitude un- til King bad taken seat. and then. with 2 year ‘ago, in each of which vast ‘amounts of | of every window in the house; 8o that, in caso, ‘of fire, the occupant of o room ‘in_the eighth-’ renderitons of tho best, If ottlie r 3 - Bio choapest, pig-iron markets in tho Union: -cation. marvellous composure, “turned” ~her face to the Coromer, 28 though she were abont to-ask if there were any more questions, or whether that identification was not sufficient. Mre. O’Neill . shortly after- wards left the witness stand. The wife of the prisoner,” Mrs. King, had accompznied Mrs. O'Neill to the Court, and when the latter return- ed to her seat the womsn that was in her assert- ed itself. “The strain of that examination had been borne very bravely, but the reaction had to come, and the momentshe took -Lior .seat she threw herself on the bosom of Mrs. King and B WEPT BITTERLY = Mrs. King throughout the inquiry betrayéd no emotion.

There ‘was gome little excitement in Court when the . UNEXPECTED TESTLMONY > of Policeman Gilbert was given with regard to the finding of & loadod revolver on' the person of the deceased after he was talen lifeless to the station’ house. This fact, in conuection Vith that which wes b"’}fim out by Mr. Besch, that theexclamation of Ara. O'Neill to hor hus- band, © Don't,” when he turned round to faco Lis murderer, seemed to point to an intention of O'Neill at that time to draw hisrevolver. There was no indications of the possible line of de- fence, with the exception of the request made Dby Mr. Besch to the Coroner that the {hntngmph said to have been fonnd in_ the pocketbook of the deconsed should be prodaced forthe purpose of identifying the lads. whom it reprosonted. It bas been stated that thatis a photograph of Mrs. O’Neill. Mr. Beach's request: seems to throw some doubt upon that sugpoflitinn. The Coroner declined to comply with the desire of counsel, and deomed that the identification of that portrait was not pertinent to the investiga- tion 1nto tho cause of death. The clement of jealousy as productive of possible mental de- rangement is evidently relied upon as A PLAUSIBLE DEFENCE. The attitude of King-throughout the investi- gation was manifestly .ot of & man with an un- Bhrinking nerve. His organization .is by no means impervious to excitement, but it is evi- dently woll under.control of a powerful will.
