How ¥ a erson Got to Know Carlyle 1the Relations of the Two Phil- sophers—The Noble Character of Mrs. Carlysle. Copyright 180 by Frank G, Carpenter.] WasiisGrox, Sept. #.—[Special to Trre Bee.]—1 had a lone talk last night with the Rev. Dr. W, H. Milburn, the blind chaplain of congress, about Thomas Carlyle, Dr. Mil- burn was intimately asscciated with Carlyle during the six years which he spent in Europe. These years were scattercd through the most stirring periods of Carlyle's life, and the doctor's acquaintance beginning in 1857, when Carlyle was at the beginning of his prime, extended from that time on until 1876, 8 few years before his death, I asked Dr Milburn how he became acquainted with Car- iyle. He replied: *1 had & letter of introduction to him from Judge Michael King of South olina. King was a fellow Scotchman, and he and Carlyle had long been friends, Very many Americans visiting Europe took letters to Carlyle, which were often given rather in discriminately. Now you must know that in Scotland a letter of introduction means much more than it does with us. Itis in the nature of a draft drawn by one person upon the courtesy and hospitality of another. It mast be honored by an invitation to at least one al at the gentleman's house, with presenta- tion to his family and a few hours of al intercourse, Here we give letters of intro- duction to any bo rybody, and f of them have more than a mere passing signi- ficance +Mr. Carlyle was then famous as a man of letters, and he_wa with introduc tions, ' Like Thackeray he had been a long time in securing public ognit and it is a singular fact that he was appreciated and honored in Am before hewas in England Hes populanty was almost boundless, and this fact explains why so many going abroad sought the personal acquaintance of one whom thev so greatly admired, But the truth is Ca tired of it 50 called upon bim from little apparent moti a heer curios Heonce wrote of the United States, ‘a nation of 20,000,000 of people, chiefly bores.'

But they were disappointed in this, for he was notin any broad sensea philanthropist. These DRAFTS UPON IS IAT made him somewhat irritable and gave to many of his American visitors the impres- sion that he was brusque and testy to a most unpleasant degree, {r. Carlyle seemed tq feel that a letter of introduction from his “old friend, Judge King, meant something, and both he and_his wife received me with warm-hearted cordial- ity.

You know—that is Tpresumo youGo—that a pipe is & wonder- ful promoter of sociability. 1 was with Carlyle many times, and 1 never saw even a signof the brusquencss of which I had heard Americans complain, “Thomns Carlyle had,™ continued Dr. Mil- burn, *‘a number of Americans among his in- timate friends. He liked Longfellow and he was especially fond of Emerson. Longfel- low noticed his work in the English reviews long before he had gained a great reputation as an author. The first copy of Sartor Resar- tus that came to America was brought by Longfellow. It was made up of clippings from Frazer's Magazine in which a part of the book was first published. Longfellow cutthese out, had them bdund and brought them over to America with him. He once told me that it was ho who called Emerson’s attention to Carlyle and through him Emer- son began to read these strong reviews which emanated from Carlyle’s pen. He had learned to admire him before he went to Europe and while at Rome he fell in with a man who knew Carlyle and got a letter to him. Emer- son took this letter and went to Scotiand and called upon Carlyle at Craigenputtock. He spent sometime here with Carlyle and the twolay out upon the hills amoig the trees ana_overlooked the couatry where Words- worth walked, They became quite intimate and Emerson left Scotland with an increased admiration for Carlyle. 1 think, but am not sure, that he took a copy of Sartor Resartus in the extracts from the magazine home with him and that he published these in Boston and that this was the FIRST PUBLICATION OF SARTOR RESARTUS, It was certainly better appreciated in Amer- ica than in England and it was not until after our literary circles were_talking about it that the English took it up. I have chatted with Carlyle about its writing and he has told meof the troubles he had in getting a pub- lisher. He carried the manuscript from one printing house to another in vain and finally got the editor of Fraserto publish it us o sevial. The editor found it not at all pular with his subscribers and he at once {;fl..m. to receive protests against the contin- uance of its publication. Finally one of the noblemen wrote him and asked him whether he was going to keep on publishing the wr ings of “That damned tailor througn all ete nity.”” You kuow Sartor Resartus is a boos on the philosophy of clothes and it was fry this that the nobleman gave it its title. man was an influential man and this settled the question, Upon tbis Frazer's Magazine stopped issuing the work and {t was thrown back 1uto Carlyle’s hands until Emerson took it to America. “Sartor Resartus was the first work of Carlyle in the style in which he acquired his fame. He had priorto this written in_the classical English of theday and his articles possessed high hiterary merit and were ac- cepted by the reviews, He got_ his latter style largely through the reading of the Ger- man, and cut himself entirely free from the hidebound restraints of ordinary classical Snlish, What was your ilea of Carlyle's appear- ance !

From the soft tender flow of pathos and sympathy it rose to the full vibrant tones of force ana eloquence and still higher up to those of in- dignation and rage.

Mrs. Carlyle was far tie superiorof ‘Thomas Carlyle in culture and refluement. He was a peasant with the ideas ofa peasant in regard to woman.

Her father had been possessed of a ©ood income and she wus brought up with lenty of servants about her. Shewas d icate in frame and remarkably sensitive in feeling. After she was married she discoy- ered that Carlyle expected her todo the same things that his mother had done, and she murmured not but attempted 1o do them. In the days of their poverty she did all the work about the house and Carlyle unconsciously imposed on her. He was very irritable, and his stomach was such that he” was often in a bad humor. He would eat no bre which his wife baked, and he said no marm lade agreed with him except that which she maude with her own hands, He often wound- ed her feelings without knowing 1t and he was filled with remorse when his eyes were opened by her diary which he first suw after her death.

Every sentence sparkled with intellectual brilliants, and 1 ouce asked him why hedid not dictate his thoughts instead of wnting them. He re- plied with a mournful shake of his head that such a thing would be impossible for him, and that it was too late for him now to begin, “I have said that Carlyle was wonderful in conversation, fascinating beyond any other person 1 have ever known.
