Early Trials of a Popular Novelist. London Dispatch to the New York Herald. Since Carlyle’s memoirs nothing more ‘inter- esting has been given tothe world than Anthony Trollope’s autoblography, which will be pub- lished on Monday. He wished it to be published speedily after his death. He knew that the story of his life was the best novel he could publish. He says in the preface, “it will not be so much my intention to speak of the little de- tails of my private life as of that which I and perhaps others around me have done in litera- ture—of my failures and successes; such as they have been, and their causes, and of the opening Whieh g literary career offers {2 men and women for earning their bread.” EARLY MISFORTUNES. ‘Trollope was even more unfortunate in a father than was Dickens. The eider Trollope = born to tall, and. was cursed with an exe- je temper. He was a chancery lawyer. His drove ail the attorneysaway. He hada ouey and considerable ambition. Hav doned his hopes of professional success, Ted to him to try bis fortune at farming, ce of country matters. A house which pied uear Harrow has been painted by the son ia “Orley Farm.” Anthony was sent to Harrow school as a day scholar, then to Win- Chester, then avzain to Harrow. What he en- dured he telis with all the freshness of painful memories and the simple pathos of truth. AT SCHOOL. He had no pocket money. In his rags he 1ys looked disreputably dirty. Onee he was epped in the street by Dr. Butler, head mas- ter, who sternly asked him whether it was pos- ah sible that Harrow school could be disgraced by | 80 dirtya boy. At Winchester his bills were left unpaid and tradesmen told to stop his credits. He couid not even provide the few shillings for colleze servants. When he went back to Har- Fow he had to walk 12 miles a aay through mud- dy lanes to his daily tasks. His holidays were spent at his father’s dismal chambers, Lincoln's Inn. The dirty, penniless and apparently duil boy. wherever he went. was treated by bis class feliows as a socal pariah. Yet withalhe had an intense craving to be loved by every one. AS A CLERK. hool he became a clerk in the general post ottice, Colonel Maberly, the secre- tary, disliked him. On one occasion a letter containing bank notes was missed from Maber- ly’s table. Mr. Trollope writes: “ ‘A letter has been taken,’ said the Colonel, turning angrily, ‘and, by God, there has been nobody in the room but you;’ and as he spoke he thundered his. Mist down upon the table. ‘Then,’ said I, ‘by God you have taken it,’ and I also thundered my fist down, but accidentaliy upon the table. My fist came on the table, and the ink flew up, cov- ering the Colonel's face and shirt front. At that Moment came in the Colonel's private secretary with the letter and the money, and I was de- sired to go back to my own roo.” SOUGHT AS A HUSBAND. There were other troubles. A young woman in the country had determined to marry Trol- lope. but he refused. At last the woman's Mother appeared at the post office. ‘My hair almost stands on my head now,” he says, ‘as T Femember the fiure of the woman walking Into the big room in which I sut, with six or seven other clerks, having a large basket on her arm and an immense bonnet on ner head. A messen- ger vainly endeavored to persuade her to re- main in the anteroom, but she followed the man in, walking up the center of the reom, and dressed me in a loud voice, ‘Anthony Troliope, When are you going to marry my dauzhter?* We have ali had our worst moments. That was my worst. I lived throuzh it, | Rot marry the youny lady. T ‘Were against me ia the office. BESIEGED BY A MONEY-LENDER. Then there was a money-lender, into whose @lutches the young clerk fell, and whose daily Visits at the office were terrible. He had always the same words to say: “Now, I wish you would be puactual. If you only would be puactnal I should like youto have anything you want.” Readers of “Phineas Finn” will recognize the original of Mr. Ciarkson. For seven years Trollope remained at the post office. During that time he was wretched, hatea the office, hated bis work, hated his idleness. FIRST WRITINGS. But the only career within his reach was that Otauthor. His mother, the author of *“Ameri- can Notes,” introduced his first book, ‘‘The Macdermots of Ballycloran,” to the publishers. It broughtia nothing. For his third novel, “La Vendee,” he got $100, but it was a failure. Then he wrote a play called “The Noble Jilt;” bat Georze Bartley, the actor, condemned It so strongly that it was not even’ offered to a man- r. The plot afterward was used in “Can ‘ou Forgive Her?” ‘The Warden” was begun, pat down again and not published tili 1855. LITERARY PROFITS. The profits were about $45 the first year and @50 the second. Trollope had been writing articles from time to time, but at the end of 1857 he had received only €275 for the hard work of ten years. The greater part of “ Bar- chester Towers” was wmitten in a train, and Subsequently Trollope got into the habit of writing in a railway carriage. “I made for myself a little table, and found after a few Years’ exercise that I could write as quickly in & railway carriaze as at my desk. I worked with a pencil, and what I wrote my wife copied ‘sard. The only objection to the practice came from the appearance of literary ostenta- tion to which I felt myseif subject when going to work before four or dive fellow-passengers.” HIS 1. “Barehester Towers” half profit system, and theauthor received $500 fn advance. From this his reputation was as- sured. . The lar; a he ever received for a | Rovel was $15.675, which was realized by “Orley Farm.” But he obtained a higher rate of pay for a shorter story: “The Claverings” was sold for 14,000.

St. Petersburg Correspondence San Francisco Chronicle. The winter palace is a huge building of brown stone and covers a large area, each of the sides (it is nearly square) measuring some 450 feet; but it is not more than ninety feet high, and the heavy cornice that forms an almost un- broken line round the top still further detracts from the height. Placed on this cornice is a | large number of statues, which it requires no great stretch of imagination to conceive to be Tsans endeavoring to escape from destruction y way of the roof, so jumbled up are they with the chimneys. The general effect of the build- ing, which only dates from 1839, would be poor were it not for its size, which, to some extent makes up for want of architectural grandeur. - The interior is also devoid of any special architectural features, and there is to grand staircase. It is pong a@ huge square box, divided up into rooms, but some of these are truly magnificent, and when filled with the flower of Russian society, as they are | at state receptions during the winter season, must look grand indeed. Peter's throne-room, with silver chandeliers. red-tinted walls an highly-decorated dome; Union bail, with gilded lars and gold chandeliers and trophies of geld d_ silver-plate against the walls and stands sloping ap to the very ceilings. are ail imperial apartments In every sense. The succession of Teveption-rooms and corridors is also most im- posing, although the painting of battle scenes, where carnage and rapine are depicted in all their horrors with a monotony that becomes almost nauseating, seem to be hardly adapted for the exclasive adornment of rooms intended for gay assemblages, and they must form a ghastly contrast to bright toilets and glittering jewels and tair, womanly forins. The visitor is escorted through hall after hall | decorated with almost barbaric magnificence, and at each one is taken under the charge of a fresh attendant attired in gorzeous imperial livery. The palace, which at present is qaite un- occupied—as the Emperor resides at another palace some distance up the Newski prospect— fairly swarms with servants, who are well dressed and courteous, and extremely idle, hav- ing apparently nothing on earth to do except to stand or walk about in the empty apartments, which are seldom trodden’ by any other feet. Here and there is to be seen a superior officer, in full uniform, evidently in charge of some part of the building, and at one point we suddenly came upon two Cossack sentinels, armed to the teeth and standing motionless on each side of a doorway. This was the en- trance to the room containing the crown jewels. Our attendant inserted a key, two heavy iron doors swung open, and we were ushered in. The room was almost bare, with the exception of some giass-topped cases, such as are used at museums for manuscripts and ob- Jects of interest, which stood near the walis,and two central stands, but when the cloths which covered them were removed the sight was daz- zling. In the side cases was a collection of tiaras and aigrettes and pendants, in brilliants and rubies and pearls. The central stands bore the crown regalia. The emperor’s crown, & huge mass of diamonds of the purest water, surmounted by an extraordinary uncut ruby; the empress’ crown, somewhat smaller, if possi- ble, more brilliant, and the scepter, bearing on its top the celebrated Lazardoff diamond, of which the story is told that it was stolen from an In- dian temple aud carried off concealed in a cut in the leg of its purloiner. Compared with these Muscovite gemsall others that I haveeverlooked on are dull and small. One thing in the picture gallery of the palace was remarkable, and that is the absence of peculiarly Russian worthies whose portraits covered the walls. There were taces of strictly English type, Swedish faces in small number, and German faces In any quantity, but Russian faces none, and no one could guess that he was surrounded by the likenesses of the men by whom the great northern’ power had ever. and did | been built up. It is very much the same to-day. The leading men here are quite different in appearance from the mass of the people, so dif- ferent that they might well belong to another race. They have, many of them, fine features and noble forms. 5 ed 77 AND FORTUNES CHANGE. ‘The Millionaires of New York in 18416. A quaint beok in itself, and one doubly cu- rious in the contrast of its facts with the facts of to-day, says the New York Sun, was published at the Sun office in 1846. It is entitled “The Wealth and Biography of the Wealthy Citizens of New York,” being an alphabetical arrangement of the names of the most prominent capitalists whose wealth is estimated at $100,000 and up- ward, with the sums appended to each name, and genealogical and bio- graphical notices of the principal persons. it isa remarkable tact that, although this was but 37 years ago, the names of Cyrus W. Field, William H. Vanderbilt, D. D. Mills, D. P. Mor- gan, Jay Gould, Russell Sage and other ac- knowledzed millionaires of to-day do not ap- rar. Peter Cooper is disposed of in 10 words Mating that he is worth $150,000, and ‘‘manu- facturer of the celet “uted Cooper's refined is n- glass.” David Dudiey Field gets 15 words, which state that he is worth $100,000, “from Massachusetts, a lawyer, married a rich widow, and lence a portion of his wealth.” William E. Dodge is not mentioned, but Anson G. Phelps is put down for $500,000, and Anson G. tay oe Jr., for $150,000. Among those worth $200, is Richard Mortimer. “an upright tailor, now retired on a large estate.” The millionaires of that day were few. Their names were: John Jacob Astor, $25,000,000; William B. Astor, $5,000,000: Henry Brevoort, Jr... $1,000,000; Jonathan Hunt, ~ $1,500,000: James Lenox, $3.000,000; Peter rillard, $1,600.000; Isaac Packer, $1,000.000; estate ot H. Pierpont, $1,000,000; estate of merhorn, $1,250,000; Peter $1,500,000; estate of L. Sailes, Stephen Whit $3.500,000; estate of Stephen Van Rensselaer, £10,000,00 james Boorman, $1.000. isaac Bronson's estate, $1,500,000, and Peter Harmony, $1,500,000. The only mention of the Vanderbilt family is the following: ‘Cornelius Vanderbilt. $750,000; ot an old Dateh root.

When the general government sought to re- move the Indians to their reservations, many of different tribes fled into the everglades, and it Is estimated that 700 or 800 are now living there. Only 80 appear on the rolls of the census, be- cause no census officer has been able to pene- trate the wilderness. The 80 Indians who ap- pear upon the census rolls are those who come out to trade; but it is known that the large ma- jority are averse to trading or mingling with the whites. Indian hunterscome out with bear, deer and panther skins, showing that the ever- giades must contain good hunting grounds. A number of negroes, say thirty or forty, are known to be held by the Indians. They speak the Indian tongue. wear the dress of Indian women and are made Liat re womens work. ‘These negroes are evident rogeny of runaway slaves, who esca| before or vee ing the civil war, and are still held in slavery. Only one missionary ever attempted to carry the news of Lincoln’s proclamation into the ever- giades; he left the borders of the Indian coun- try with great speed.

In marked contrast to the dismal history of co-operative storekeeping in America has been the success of the same attempt in England. Here, although for many years its. advance was slow, it now makes its influence felt in almost every department of commercial activity. It is thirty-nine years since the pioneer co-operative society was formed at Rochdale by the combin- ation of a handful of poorly-paid artisans, who proposed to save what they could by buy- ing in quantity and distributing at cost. If there was any profit, which the most sanguine hardly expected, it'was to be divided among them, in proportion to the amount which man bought, so that it was really nothing more than a device for eliminating the profits of the middlemen from the cost of articles of consumption. In 2844, the vear of ite foundation, it had a membership of twenty-eight and a capital ot €140. Its first year’s busjneas Was $3,550, on which there was a profit of $110. Its membership is now nearly 10,000, its busi- ness over $1,500,000, and its profits 300.000 yearly. From the first its success was assured. The scheme 5; ily found imitators and ex- tenders, and the close of 1881 there were in Great Britain 1,189 retail distributive societies in successful operation. These societies had 573,000 members, a share capital of $28,739,535, and a loan capital of $7,430,715. Their sales in that year amounted to $101,828 010. (CO-OPERATIVE SAVINGS, A question of great importance and interest is the amount of saving effected over ordinary retail stores. But this is a matter which it is exceedingly difficult to get at, I have heard it variously estimated at from 15 per cent to 25 percent. Their price lists are easily to be ob- tained, and will furnish the specialist an idea of the reductions in his own particalar line. But it manifestly would not do to assume that the reduction is the same on ali lines of goods, or even pproxiomtaly equal. I think. however, it would be safe to say that It is not jess than 16 cent. Assuming this to be correct, it will » seen that the saving to the patrons of co- operative societies inthe cost of goods bought in 1881 was over $10,000,000. Yet with this enormous saving the net profits of the business mounted to $9,747,570, nearly 10 per cent on the sales and 26.9 per cent on the capital em- ployed. The above statement, it will be noticed, does nof at all include the whelesale and manufacturing co-uperative institutions, which are by no means few or insignificant, but with rezard to which Ihave not been able to secure reliable statistics. Since co-operation started in the humble manner which 1 have described, it has, as wasto be expected, undergone some modifications and numerous extensions * * * When it became evident that the plan was not only theoretically correct, but practically feasi- bie, and that its promoters were both obtalning cheap goods and making a good profit on their invested capital. the number of those who wished to share in these benefits rapidly increased. Among them were many who had no capital to invest in shares. or who would be able to pa- tronize the store for only a limited length of time. Now as the store, in spite of its reduced prices, made a profit on everything it sold, it was for the advantage of the shareholders to permit these people to trade with thein, especially as they were willing to pay: a bonus for the privilege. Accordingly this was done under some restrictions by the greater number ot co-operative <tores, especially in the large cities, and where done the number of these “subscribers,” as they are generally called, who‘own no shares and have no voice in the control of the affairs of the company, soon came to be much greater than the number of the shareholders, and they furnished the great bulk of the profits. But it would be entirely unjust to divide these profits from outsiders according to the original plan of giving to each man an amount proportioned to his purchases, for his purchases had nothing to do with this profit, which arose entirely independent of them. It must be divided as in any joint atock company, in proportion to the number of shares held; and this principle was soon applied to the entire profit. Thus, by the natural course of evénts, the original purpose of co-operation, which was simply the extinction of the middle-man’s profit, has been lost sight of, and the co-operative store has become simply a limited joint stock com- pany. which buys and sells for cash only, and gives to any one under certain restrictions and limitations who is willing to pay cash the re- duetion in price which a cash syetem permits. London has a great number of these co-opera- tive stores, of all degrees of importance and with all classes ofpatrons. They are nearly all, I be- lieve. run on the modified co-operative plan which I have described. Amongthem are the two largest and most aristocratic stores of this kind in Great Britain, the Army and Navy Co- operative society and the Civil Service Supply association. Of the former, which is, I suppose, the most extensive co-operative store in the world, I will give you a short description. THE ARMY AND NAVY SOCIETY. It occupies an immense four-story block of buildings in Victoria street, in one of the most fashionable quarters of the town, where, in an interminable maze of apartments, are kept al- most every article ever offered forsale. There are, however, some things which the store does not keep. But it publishes a list of tradesmen who will furnish them to its patrons at from 10 to 20 r cent discount for cash. So that practically it keeps everything. Its price list, which I have before me, is a bulky volume of 1,302 pages. handsomely printed and elegantly illustrated, andthey print of this about 50.000 copies twice @ year, and a monthly circular giving any change in price that may have |. To attend to their vast trade, they employ 3,500 men and 200 women. From the eleventh annual valance sheet I gather the following facts with regard to the business of the association tor the year ending January 31, 1833. The share capital of the association Is $300,000 only, in shares of 5 each, though its actual in- vested capital is very much greater, arising from deferred interest payments and the invested de- posits of a savings bank, which is one ot its features, and in which it pays4 per cent interest to depositors, Its receipts during the year were $10,772,108, and its net profits $202,606, or 61 per cent of its share capital. We are not, there- fore, surprised to hear that’ the market value of its €5 shares is €27.50. With that prudence for which great corporations are famous, a modest dividend of 5 per cent only is declared, and the rest ofthe surplus is devoted to wateringthe stock under the name “deferred bonus.” There have been four such waterings of 50 cent each, so that the stock has been virtually trebled. The number of shareholders 1s 15,085, and the num- ber of shares held by any one person is limited to 500. Only officers of the army and navy are eligible to become shareholders, but ns in- troduced by them, and approved of by the board of directors, may become “subecri! "—that ig, be allowed to purchase goods. Of these there are no less than 26,359—not quite twice the number of shareholders. They have no share In the profits, and pay $1.25 the first year and ¢2 cents year thereattertor the privilege of ing. It should be mentioned that the association has lately extended its enterprise to manutao- turing for itself many of the articles which it sells. Last year -it made the following articles to the*value of $744.870; Guns, traps, portman- teaus, tin goods of all faney woolen goods, printed goods, stamped goods, shirts, perfumery and watches. It is managed by wide- awake business men, and is constantly extend- ing the sphere of. its usefulness. Its success is almost phenomenal, yet its officers declare that it ts simply the legitimate result of a large busi- ness done without credit. Finishing the Work.
