The whole thing has been riven an_importance that 1t never merited, It was in reality no real moment, but it has be ated and embellished and until one would suppose that the people who met at Pfafi’s were geniuses ke the French eneyclopedists, which i< very far from the trath. Had they been such men, Leould readily understand wl their gatherings would be worth remem- bering, reminiseences of their doings and manner of life interesting, but when it comes to men like—well, never mmd - names—it ridiculous to write them up in thatstyle. The sim e truth is that o number of young and middle aged men, who earn mes livings with their pens, met ocensionally and aecidentally, and had no idea that they were domg anything remarkable in taking a few of beer tozether Among them was a man named Clapp, who had been a Sunday school superin tendent in Boston, and « preacher, haps, too. Somehow or other he had drifted’out of that life and started in New York a paper on the Irishman’s plan of, “wherever you see a head, lat it.’ He had bouyant spirits, a nimble wit and aveads pen, and made a bright, aud cious paper. Of course he attractod the promisimg young writers who had matter to sell. Clapp didn’t make money very rapidly, and he was obhged to spend it ceonomically. He discovered Plafl, a m who h vined barrel beor and started a saloon and small res tanrant, and he went there for his meals. ry S00mn numt of us commenced soitg to Piafl’s for the very good reason thut we conld get a dinner there for a and e were all poor and to live cheaply. That was all tie olub of Bohemians nmounted to, and now we are represented as having lived in the most reckless style, earning great sums and squandering them with most igal liberality. A% matter of fact, of us were depindent upon we could get for oces icles on various pupers, nd those who were supposed to have regular ries seldom got them, A man who depended upon the newspapers for a living then had to work hard for small pay, and he couldn’t be mueh of a Bohemian i the generally accepted sense. Inthose days Lendured a great dexl of privation and hardship and disap- pointment. Friends in my old home got the notion that I was living in britliant vrot L, asort of Sardanapalus, and were mueh grieved: and when 1 h il thought of my 25 cent dinners, it made me just bitter enoungh to tell them they wert quite correct.

When the cir- cumstanecs under wiich he did his wor are consilered, the results seem remark ble. When ali the money was gon and he didn't know where e was to the next meal, or whery ws o s tie would go to work and write, Manv u time have I put food in his way without aving anything, hoping he would take some, but he never would touch at, He would sit down und write something for Harper's, who thought a great deal of him, und would buy t anything he brovght to them,zet his money for it, und then live lik prince. He would arcay himsclf in - fine clothi 1- dulge in the best of dinners and ver seen to realize that the money we (st forever, Not a stroke of work would he do winle his money lasted.
