The fre and fun of ‘Pickwick”—a comie mid pic, Soto speak—are mainly due, it may be, to high spirits, and perhaps the book may be described with justice as a tirst im- provisation by a young man of ge not yet sure either of expression or ambition, and with only yimentary ideas about the daties a sof art. But from “Pick- i downward to “Edwin Drood” the effort improvement is manifest, The man’s genius did but ripen and expand with years and labor: he spent life in developing froma popular writer into an artist. He extemporized “Pickwick,” it may be, but into “Coppertield? huzzlewit.” and the “Tale of Two| ‘s” and ‘Our Mutual Friend,” he put his whole might, working at them with a passion and a determination hardly exceeded by Balzac. He liad enchanted the public without an effort: he was the most popular of modern writers almost from the outset of his career. But he | had in him at least as much of the French artist | asof the middle-class Englishman, and if all his life long he never ceased from ‘self-educa— tion, but went unswervingly in pursuit of cul- ture, it was out of love for his art. and be- cause his conscience as an artist would not let him do otherwise. This is enough to make us pause when we consider his work. a ence. To show the necessity for exulation, he instanced the case of iage of a man who smoked and chewed tobacco to a woman who smokedand took snuif. “Their child relished tobacco as much as ordi nary children do candy,” according to Mr. Chase. “The very barn-yard fowls,” said Mr. Brown, who spoke afterward, “have more thought given to them, because they can be sold, than the boys and girls, who can’t be sold for money. But neither Mr. Chase nor any one of the speakers, so far as we can learn, pointed out the pre in which the state should regu- |late engagements of marriage.

From the Salt Lake Tribune. A certain Erbane resident of this city recently paid a visit to Butte, Montana. He stopped at one of the first-classhotels of Butte, and in con- sideration of his standing here he was given the “boss” room off the parlor on the ground floor. The next morning after his arrival he appeared at the door of the office without any too many clothes on, and with a good deal of decision in his tone informed the porter of the establish. ment thata pitcher of water was needed in No. —, and then withdrew. The porter was struck dumb for a moment, but catching his breath he exclaimed; ‘The d—d4 tenderfoot!

The place is delightfully situated; that is be- yond question. Tt has a hotel as han as comfortableas many of the famous summer resorts. If you wished to find zesthetic society, you would scarcely seek it among the dug-outs of an agricultural colony in the backwoods of a backwoods state. Yet here in Rugby you mi people who know ail about the home life of Em- erson and Alcott and Carlyle, who can repeat whole chapters from Dickens or Harriet Marti- neau; who can discuss intelligently the green- back question, analyze th Freeman Clarke or Lucy Stone’s last editorial, or criticise Turner's pictures. On the other hand, it has, even among the apparently better class, persons who are not aware that Tennessee | Teceives laws from any other capital than Wash- | ington: who never have heard of Chaucer or ‘his “Canterbury Tales” (although they have | spent all their life in Kent), and have not the | remotest idea as to the’ reasons for calling the | hotel ‘The Tabar;” who cannot detect the differ- ence between ash and cedar, or do not know a sandy from a clay soil. In other words, the brightest and stupidest of English and New English society are to be found at Rugby. The Rugby population to- consists of si general classes, if I 1 . there is a number quiet, ea | from act | at lei ing het eking health and life—people of wealth, either retired business or with a patt of their time These are abundantly paid for com : I have heard only praise of the cli- nd inany wonderful things are told of its curative properties.

Thaye in mind one example of this class; he has brought from the north of England seven flue young sons, and all are devoted to the work of creating a strong, grand future.

The third class comprises speculators: the; devoid of the true spirit of ec hey have bought land and built lished a high scale of prices, ave cherished large expectations. I hardly need say that these men are badly frost-bitten, and are as homesick a class of people as I ever y. The fourth class expected to come here and jump into wealth at a single bound. The had no definite idea of what was meant by emi. | gration, but they suppose that farming in | tain circles of society at the present America was one of the simplest things in the world to do, and success was a mere questionof a few months, They came from London by the dozen; had never seen an ax before; had been selling men’s fine furnishing goods or haber- dash or peradventure had head clerkships in railway offices or had been private tutors torich men’s sons. They are saying that Mr. Hughes deceived them with his announcements. They expected to find rich farms ready hand, and nothing for them to do but hire a few n or white natives to do what little work would be necessary. Then there is the class of whom Will Wimble is the type—young men with “allowances” from their fathers in England. Their residence here is a.sort of exile from home, where they are a disgrace or a nuisance. They are holding high carnival here in the forest; ig in secret league with the moonshiners of Kentucky, they manage to keep themselves well in liquor and so make life bearable. As their existence is in no way essential to the colony, except that they are first-rate consumers, [ would not have men- tioned them had they not already been falsely represented as types of “Tom Hughes’ Arca- dian agriculturists.” It was among this class of hangers-on that the recent fever scourge broke out. Having made stubble of themselves by their high or vicious living, they were rapidly consumed by the disease, and not only commu- nicated it to better people, but were the means of giving to the settlement a bad name. The sixth class consists of enterprising Ameri- cans, who are looking with shrewd eyes to the future. They forsee railroads and mines and iron work and lumber-fields in all this region of ‘Tennessee, and I believe that a few years hence their dream will come true. They are develop- ing the adjoining districts, and are determined todo great things. Upon this class depends largely Rugby’s character in the future. But the literary men also have broad views, and, if the plan now in contemplation (I am not at liberty to unfold it) shall be successfully devel- oped, the name given to the town will by and y be more than ever apt. It has been said that the Englishness of the place is dis- id I think the 4 extent just. too much snobbishness among some of the English settlers, too much lordliness, too mach of English stupidity or conservatism. Some of the heartlessness of the English character ‘thas been brought hither, a trait that out-rascals much of our Yankee meanness. The device for getting €300a year from a young man under the name of tuition for teaching the art of agriculture is what we in America would call fraud.

He ranks along with the youth who carries his coat on his arm | and smokes cigarettes on the back platforms of | street cars. If you meet him in the morning he | greets you by remarking: “This is a fine dat | don’t you know.” His last salutation at night | is to the effect that he wishes you “a very good evening, don’t you know.” He goes down on | 3d street just before noon, and telis his broker | to ‘buy me some Wabash, don’t you know.” It matters not where he goes,his “don't you know” goes with him. He beams down upon his part- ner at the ball, and as he places his arm around the butterfly’s waist, remarks, | waltzing, don’t you know.” Hebowsgraciously | to his friend in the pew behind him after ser- vice is over on Sunday and thi he sermon | was rather tedious, don’t you know.” When his | fond parents conclude it is about time he honors | society and some millionaire’s daughter by get- | ting married, he broaches the matter to the girl | in question by informing her that “I love you, don’t you know.” Everybody knows him by his “don’t you know,” and those who are sensible of the ludi- | crous, as well as ridiculous, have his expression | for a by-word and get lots of fun out of him. But he is oblivious to it all. He deems his phrase very neat and very fashionable and | would not drop it “for the world, don’t you | know.” So he dons his stitched-back gloves, | twirls his natty little cane and starts out every day to see what is ‘going on down town, don’t you know.” He is one of the features of the times and must be recognized in any summary of the oddities of humanity. The *‘don’t-you- know” young man must be heard to be appre- ciated, and he is sure to be gia in one way or another, when he is heard. For he isa character, ‘don’t you know. ee ey Where Key West Cigars are Made. From the Key of the Gulf. The population of Key West, inside and out - side of the corporation boundaries, is variously estimated at from twelve to sixteen thousand.
