SAVING THE OLD TOPERS, "'Bishop" Skinner's Good Work in the Red Ribbon Ciub. ANOTHER GRIST OF NOTARIES. Bhort Notes From the State House—A Big Day's Work in Police Court—-News About the City, [FROM THE BEF'8 LIKCOLN BUREAV.| Bishop G. B. nner, the Twelfth gtreet liveryman, had the largest and most enthusiastic meeting at Red Ribbon hall on Sunday, the entire time being devoted to the temperance question. Mr. Skinner is president of the club and has made a grand success of the organization A few years ago the bishop was in the habit of taking his schnapps as often as anybody, and as for telling storics the bishop's funds would back him against the world. Since he went into the tem- perance work no red ribbon club in the United States has flourished better or done more good work than the Lincoln club. Beside reforming many of the most inveterate drinkers in the eity, the Lishop always has funds on hand (his own private purse) to feed, clothe and warm the destitute drunkard's wife and family. Many are the generous and charitable acts which he is doing on the quict for the victims of strong drink, and o great many of the reformations from drinking to kobricty in his club are brought about by these acts of the bishop. He is a positive character and a leader. ‘When a drinking man he himself led the crowd in hilarity and furors, and as a temperance man he has no superior in creating enthusiasm, honest work and sincere reformation i dr A number of the hardest drin city, “old timers,’ may be scen overy Sunday at 4 p.m. on the rostrum with th bishop, each in his turn giving his expe- rience to the young and the old on the eyils from which they have fled. The bishop generally makes tho closing and for_good stories, funny an unstudied and ofi-hand delivery phraseology, he is the equal of any- one. One moment his andience will be in tears; the next shouting and clapping their hands with laughter, everything on the go-as-you-pleaso order and - body’s meéting, while songs and instru- mental music, as good as any in the city, ure heard, The club pumbers a member. ship of several hundred, all sincerc workers in the eause, and it1s worth one’s while of a Sunday afternoon to drop into Red Ribbon hall and listen to the good ndvice given by thosa who have been through the drink mill. The bishop and the club,on account of the gooa they are doing in the line of absolute reformation,deserve all the encouragement and support pos- sible at the hands of the good people of the city, and judging from the crowds that assemble every Sunday to the bish- op's church, year in _and year out, the public are not unmindful of the good that 1s being done for the fallen in Lincoln.

Homes and " Workshops" of the Authors, Aldrich and Howells, LEAVES FROM LITERARY LIFE. Beecher's Autobiography—Anna Dickinson's Reminiscences — Darwin's Letters—Theodore Child on Duelling. New Yorx, Feb. 16.—[Correspondence of the Bek.]—Few anthors have, perhaps, been so misjudged for their portraits s has Mr, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, It must be confessed that not a little of this erroneous popular behet 18 strengthened if one looks av the photograph that is constantly put before the public. But if the print in question giyes one such an impression, it requires only the most casu meeting with the man himself to instantly remove it. Itis trae thav Mr. Aldrich dresses well, but he isnotin- clined to foppishness by any means. On the contrary, his dress is that of the gentleman,quiet,unobtrusive and serapu- lously neat. No man is more adverse to newspaver talk about himself or his works than Mr. Aldrieh, and it is seldom that one reads anything about his personnel. To meet Mr. Aldrich is to meetone of the most entertaining and socinl ot men. His disposition is kind and his manners the same to all— pleasant and agreeable, Iis only enemies are made, as he himself says, through the editorial pen when it is used in the declination of nfanuscripts sent to him. Nine o'clock every morning finds Mr. Aldrich at his editorial desk in the office of the Atlantic Monthly, He isa hard and steady worker, and it will prob- ably surprise many to know that Mr. Aldrich’s ynsmlm as_editor is not the easy berth commonly imagined. He reads every line that appears in the At- lantie, and leaves only very hittie of the proof reading to his Istant. His cor- respondenee also receives his personal at- tention, and besides this work every manuscript sent in is read and passed upon by him. At 11 o'clock in the morn- ing he Zoes to his home and enjoys & late breakfast with his wife, mother and his two boys, who then have their college re- cess. These hoys, apropos, are exceed- ingly interesting in that THEY ARE TWINS, the one bearing the most striking re- semblance to the other. After this meal Mr. Aldrich returns to the office, where he remains until 5:30, when he goes home for the day. The author resides on Mt. Vernon street, in a home of positive luxuriance and cowpfort, Kverything about the house is tasteful and_ of the richest description. The walls are adorned with portraits and engravings of eminent writers, and each has fixed underneath them some bit of original manuseript in the subject's autograph Mr. Aldrich es the pardonable hobby of many in securing tho pen tracks of great authors, and betwoeen this and his large library he'spends consider- able time. ~ His mother resides with him. and to her the son is as de- votedly attached as she to him. He is thoroughly domestic and finds his greatest pleasure with his family. An mteresting occupant of the house is a e Irish setter. who is indeed 8 most intellizent member of the brute creation. He is attentive to the wishes of his mas- ter, one of his favorite occupations being tho bringing of the latter’s Aliu}mrfl, which he sets down at tho feet of his master in perfect vosition for the easlest possible entrance. His knowledge of all manner of dog tricks 15 almost inex- haustible, and delights visitors with an exhibition of them. “Mr. Aldrich’s study, or “den,” as he terms it, the front room of the second story, and from this chamber in the house emanate those ex- ceedingly clever stories that have won for their author so large a circle of readers and admire) HOWELL UDY. Speaking of Mr. Aldrich’s study ro- minds me of a peep I had at the working room of Mr. Howells’ recently in his home on Beacon street. From the wir- dow of Mr. Howells’ study, which is also on the second story of his house, one can see the home of Ofiver Wendell Holmes, The apartment where the novelist does his literary work is a large one, and pre- cisely such a one as would be imagined to belong to an author. A large flat table stands in the center of the room, and Mr. Howells works, surrounded on side with bo and portraits of celebrated people which look down upon him from the walls. The novelistis very neat, and his table never presents an un- tidy ap A His manuseript is care- lul?y laid away between leathor covers in a right hand drawer as soon as it is fin- ished, His work is done chiefly mn the morning, aud, when once started, he writes quickly and steadily, often filling five or six pages of note paper, clowl{ written, without lifting the pen for medi- tation, The walls of his house, like those of Mr. Aldrich’s are all ambellished with reruanal souvenirs of writers nnd artists. Dn one side you will encounter a picture made for Mr. Howells by Alma Tadema, a warm personal friend,while on another the eye rests on some of Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s pictures, on a bas-relief of his second daughter, Mildred, the work of the novelist’s brother-in-law, Larkin G, Mead, of Italy. And thus in whatever direction one looks in Mr. Howells' parlors, there is something to remind you of the many friendships which the occu- pant has made, and their respeet for him, BEECHER'S COMING BOOK. T'am authorized by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher to make the announcement thut the world of books will before long receive an addition 1n the form of the great preacher’s autobiography. The work when completed will extend over a pe- riod of nearly half a century of years of public service, and whan one stops to consider the measnres and eyents of na- tional interest with which Mr. Beecher's life has been ussooiated, the value of the proposed book can be estimated. “Iam now,” said Mr. Beecher to me last evening, ‘“‘putting the finishing strokes to the second volume of my “Lite of Christ," which I expect will be pun- lished during the summer. The first volume, published years ago, is now bemg reprinted from my own plates, and the manuseript of the seeond volume is nearly all up in type or n the printer's hands “*After my work on th continued the preacher, *'1 will immedi- ately begin upon my autobiography. 1 do not think I shall complete it much be- fore a six montl en then, so that it will be almost a before the few who will buy it can obtain it.

Dickinson ooking to the latter removing to this city to engage i literary work. On inquir- ing into the matter a few days ago | learned that Miss Dickinson 1s at present lying ill at her hame at Pittston, Pa. She bas Doen very ill, but is now able to sit up a part of every day, and diotate her correspondence to her sister. She has lived very quictly with her aged mother in Pittston and has written nothing for a long time. She has many requests from magazines and otiher publications for contributions, but declines them all on account of her health. Miss Dickinson has been suffering from ner- vous prostration, and her friends think that she has increased the trouble by her seclusion. To all overtures from them to come to New York she is deaf, and while her mothe: lives it is likely she will re main with her. Strong efforts are being made to have her write her remisis for publication, but whether thes successful is dificult to say. younger generation her life would be al- most a revelation, as toat her record is practically unknown. Her career, when those who are familiar with it look it over, is one of the romances of our country, and certainly would make a most “interesting _ story to read. Of late rs Miss Dickinson'’s life has been unfortunate, and it is well known she lost a good deal of money in her theatrical ventures. Had she adhered to her lecture platform,from i for several years she netted an in- come of between §10,000 and $15,000, she might have spared herself much of what her other ventures compelled her to go through. It 1s not unlikely that the losses she has of late suffered would be largely retrieved by a volume of her reminiscen- cos, and it1s possible that her friends may yet induce her to enter upon the work. But for the present, and until she recovers from her illness at least, it is not likely, as she herself admits in a re- cent letter, that she will be heard from by even her best friends, PROMISED LITERARY FEASTS, As a sort of an offset to the article by Mr. Greorge Parsons lirop on our New York authors, published in a recent is.ue of Harper's Magazine, Boston's authors, and more especially the younger ones, will be sketched and photographed in an article to be published in the first number of the new American Magazmne.
