Mrs. Champlin was a guest at the wedding fifty years ago. 3 During intervals between social chat in the parlors decorated with gold-hued chrysanthemums there were vocal solos by Mrs. Tougillon and Mr. and Mrs. Mariner Campbell. Mrs. Touaillon’s selection was “I Love You,” and Mr. Campbell sang a heroic ballad and later a x)nthet\c love song of Joe Redding’s composition. Mrs. Charles Freeman Johnson gave a toast to “The Golden Wedding. Mrs. G. W.

NO SUCH ENTREPOTS ABROAD. Police Census Shows That City to Be Full of Western Widows. NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 28, —New York has begun its annual literary season, which commgncing on the eve of Thanksgiving week finds its dying embers at New Year's. It forms the season when gift books are hunted after and library shelves are over- hauled for replenishing. Advertising col- umns then grow staccato with the rivalry of announcements by publishers, and oven the terrapin dinners and pink teas of society husn as topics beside those affecting new books. ‘lir('nmno's literary exchange at upper Union square is the notable rendezvous fpr book-buvers. 1 have found no such literary entrepot in London or Paris, nor i any American city. There is not a published classic or volume of freshly spawned current rhetoric that a book- buyer cannot find on its shelves or coun- ters. From Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire through all the years, to Dr. Parkhurst’s fall of the Croker empire; from Boswell's recollections of Sam Joinson to thof® of Senator Sher- man, whose volumes teem with nests of wasps and hornets; from Fielding's Tom Jones to the Dorian Gray of Oscar Wilde— anovel that curiously and unconsciously foretold his present hapless lot; from the era of Hannah More and Maria Edgeworth to this of Mrs. Burton Harrison and Amelie Rives Chanler—every known vol- ume not obsolete to fame is in the keeping of the Brentano brothers. They suc- ceeded in business to their uncle, Augnst Brentano, now gone to join the literary consociation of the other world, that are felicitously described by the seer Sweden- borg. I recall August’s Florentine black eyes, sparkling with interest ine all things literary, as he stood on our first meeting in the little basement of his store on Broadway near Bleecker street, presiding over a modest collection of newspapers, periodicals and ephemeral publications of the day. I had a modest connection with his beginnings, for he published an aggressive pamphlet that T wrote in 1858, entitled ‘‘Horace Greeley Decently Dissected,” which, from its per- sonalities, and certainly libelous footnotes, attracted popular but ephemeral attention and sent thousands of puyers to his base- ment and made them acquainted with the first enterprise of the kind at collecting current ephemeral literature. It was a silly enterprise of pique on the young author’s part and made him resolve there- aiter never to have another personal ani- mosity or to engage in the dangerous com- bat with a newspaper editor, Bren- tano was a hustler. He had an ancestral gift of economy and prac- ticed & maxim of the elder Lytton, to be found in “Caxtoniana”: *“Any man of ordinary talent is capable of mak- ing money, but it requires a man of genius to know how to keep it afterit has been made.”” He kept his savings and in a few years opened a larger and famous empo- rium in a fashionable location—still cling- ing to a basement—and became the only noted bookseller in New York after George W. Carleton quitted business. At his death his several nephews, who had been his aides, who inberited his hustling quali- ties and who had ardently studied the pursuits of literature and art, took his place, and are now as widely known as Jiterary purveyors as are Claflin, Hilton & Stern in dry goods or Tiffany in jewels and bric-a-brac. Brentano’s is also a lounging place for authors and writers, The semi-millionaire and crisp feuilleton- ist, Brander Matthew: he banker-poet Stedman; the modern Sir William Jones, in that he is great as jurist or poet, Wil- liam A. Butler; the playwrights, Bronson Howard, Clyde Fitch and Messrs. Gun- ther, Belasco and Potter; the literary managers, Palmer and Daly; actors, Mans- field, Maclntosh, Robinson and Holland; magazinists like Julian Ralph, Richard Harding Davis, Montgomery Schuyler, as well as literary critics and editors by the score, number themselves as habitues of Brentano’s. Not so much to buy as to ex amine and exchange notes; all meetin, times much as writers used to meet in Kit North’s time at the publishing rooms of Constable or Black, or the senior cham- bers; or in London at John Murray’s in Byron’s time; or at Field & Osgood’s, in Boston, when Whittier and Holmes were frequent callers. And at this coming holiday gift-time to me crowds oscillate between Tiffany on one block and Bren- tano’s on an adjacent block. Publishers nowadays rarely retail their books or keo? those issued by fetlow pub- lishers. Dodd, Mead & Co., the Scribners, and the Macmillans, ail on lower Fifth ave. nue, that is now almost surrendered to publishers and piano-makers, are the few exceptions; wherefore book-buyers throng rentano’s. The book of the literary season is pre- eminently an edition of the comedies of Shakespeare in four yolumes, illustrated by Edwin Abbey, who furnishes 130 photogra- vure etchings. They are large octavo vol- umes, and the ‘;rica is $30. But there are wealthy book-buyers in this metropo- lis. The first editions of the ‘“‘Sweet Wil- liam” of the dramatic parterre which were ever issued in this country hay been from the Harper Press. Hnlia cen‘3 tury ago they issued an edition, edited by Gulian Q. Verplanck, a compeer of Wash- ington Irving and Fenimore Cooper, pro- fusely illustrated by engravers of the pe- riod.” Copies of it are now sold at book auctions at heavy prices, because the plates were destroyed in the great Harper fire. But this new enterprise of the Harpers will efface memories of their first venture in a Shakespearean direction. Another recent Harper publication prom- inent in this literary season is entitled “Dixie, or Southern Scenes and Sketches,” by Julian Ralph, one of the most talked-of nickerbocker word painters of the period. Also a novel of the revolutionary French provinces, entitled *‘Red Cockade,” by Stanley J. Weymap, who as a historical romance writer may be called the legiti- mate successor of the once noted and still admired G. P. R. James of “Horseman on the Hill”’ memory. I have found it as stirring as was Dickerfs’ novel of the same historical period—*'‘Tale of Two Cities.” Another stirring novel bas been issued by the Putnams—a publishing name coin- ciaent as to venerable prestige with that of Harper—written by Grant Allen, who has recently stirred the bile of British ma- trons with his audacious romance of the “Woman Who Did.”” It has the queer title of “British Barbarians,”” but nevertheless does not touch upon Dunraven. They also publish another audacious volume pre- “Gustave Flaubert, as Seen in His Works and Correspondence.” It is notable as furnishing a piquant_defense of his novel entitled ‘*‘Madame Bovary,” which ac- tually offended French_tribunals to such an extent that the Parisian Anthony Comstock prosecuted Flaubert for writ- ing an .immoral book, while allow- ing Zola the freedom of his pen. No American publisher. however, has had the business hardinood to translateit. As a personality Flauvert was odd and eccen- tric, and as a writer not a priest whose mission was to label and denounce sin, but a student of human nature, a dramatist whose business was to delineate the pas- sions of men and women, and an anato- mist whose sharp instruments were/meant for dissection and not for carnal blood- letting. Are any of my readers owners of or hold memories of the Potiphar papers by Easy Chair Curtis? If so, they can newly whet their taste for sarcasm upon metro- olitan and social life by reading “Dolly illenbeck,” a lively story of to-day, written by a New York journalist, James L. Ford. E The holiday contribution of Dodd, Mead & Co.—also, like the Aiplew“‘ and the Scribners, housed in skyscraping stone palaces on Fifth avenue—is Amelia Barr's new novel named ‘‘Bernecia,” an incur- sion into the London times of Jane Porter, whom she much resembles in style and plot. In developing 51)9 latter she uses the great revivalist Whitefieid, who, says a biographer, used, by his preaching, to drive a member of his congregation into a corner of a pew, trembling, because be thought the devil was after him. Brentano has on his capacious shelves— veritably littered, says Bronson Howard at the club, and therefore, of course, liter- ally—a tale by the wife of ex-Senator Blair of New Hampshire, which she names “The Life and Love of Lisbeth Wilson.”” The scene is laid among the granite hills of New Hampshire in Puritan times, and the pages are very Hawthorneish in style, but not so sad as “Scarlet Letter” was, In novel-reading nowadays—and who does not indulge in it ?—Salisbury, Ros: bery, Balfour, and even the porpoise-lik, Harcourt are noted novel readers; so was Blaine, and so is Evarts and Depew. One touch of nature in a novel makes the whole world kin—schoolgirls, fashionable mat- rons, statesmen, philosophers, jurists and bank presidents. In novel-reading now- adays, 1 repeat, one cannot help thinking how action and reaction in their tone dur~ ing a century has been equal, according to a well-known law of physics, Smollett. Sterne and Fielding pleased a generation that the next one tabooed in favor of “Hannah More,” and that dreary four- volume goo goo novel of ““Caleb in’Search of a Wife.” Bulwer, after he wrote “Alice and the Mysteries,” had to pull into the proprie- ties with “What Will He Do With 1t2” | while the pendulumsof propriety and im- propriety still vacillate between Rdgar Saltus, Zola and George Moore on one side of the ticks of the literary clocks and | Howells and James on the other side. A perusal of a Brentano catalogue lays bare the wheels and striking machinery of that clock. But its dial-plate will bear more of an examination when the holiday season, absorbing the literary season, brings books more into notice with the advent of the gift season. For in that connection books are supplanting jewelry. The belle of the coming season is an- | nounced and all the beaux are summoned | to do her homage. She is Miss Catherine Duer, familiarly known as Kitty, Shewas a prominent bridesmaid at the ducal wed- ding—tall, graceful, yet strident, and only beantiful under the Bulwer line in the oem of *'New Timon”—‘her face broke to eauty when she smiled.” A very Knick- erbocker belle, for her ancestors have been famons in New York from colonial times, and one of the Whig_colonial Duer belles married a Tory lord. Her relative, Wil- liam A. Duer, was a president of our Co- lumbia_Coliege. John Duer was a great jurist, Denning Duer a great banker, and }xer father is a commercial and society magnate. All were “‘doers’’ of good deeds. And society rumor saith. that Kitty hath made a solemn vow to wed only a Knick- erbocker. But I fancy that if a Southern, Fastern or Western wooer, not a Don Quixote, ner riding a Rosinante, were to spur into the Duer courtyard, eligible as to family and means, and lay siege to Kitty’s heart, she would forswear her Knickerbocker oath. Does the rest of the Union know that a recent police census discloses that this is re-eminently a city of Western widows? t seems that widows from all the States come to New York to enjoy the independ- ence that it offers, and even with assent of Mrs, Grundy. The lady in mourning or half-mourning carries here in New York thoroughfares, at matinees and in general society, credentials and passports entitling her to do exactly what she pleases. Mrs. A, M. Palmer, wife of the scholarly manager and litterateur of the city, a few days ago perpetrated a clever epigram in deprecating at a discussion about the Van- derbiit and Whitney marriages the ten- dency of American maidens to desire so- cial supremacy and display ostentation. Said she, the fault is in social education; evand by Rose Porter, entitled, “What omen Have Said About Men.” It is a companion volume to her previous every- day book entitled “What Men Have Sald About Women.” A pot of porter is usu- ally spoiled by too much froth and too much sediment; but this Porter with her collation has avoided both froth and sedi- ment, Another time-honored firm—the Apple- tons, in a third generation coeval with Harpers and Putnams therein—have ready editions of the_ four novels of ‘Hall Caine, who is now in this country ready to “spiflicate’” the critics who attack him as a Manxman, a Deemster, 8 Bondman ora Cl{puin Davy on a honeymoon—those being the titles of his romances. The Ap- letons—now housed in a grand, double- 1ronted, skyscraping edifice on lower avenue—also give to the literary season for every girl seems to be taught an am- bition to stand at the head of her set, quite as at a spelling bee in infant school each girl aims to spell herself to the top of the class. It may be so; Squeers, in “Nicholas Nickleby” 1nculcated skill in S| ellinF with his pupilsin Dotheboy’s Hall tgus: “Smilke, spell garden,” and when he had_spelled it, added, ‘‘And now go and work in it.” So a New York fashionable mother may say to her debutante daugh- ter, spell Duke; and, although she ma form the letters ‘“dook,” the mother will say. ‘“‘Well, go to work and capture one.” 5\11’ excise board, anxious for more worlds than those containing Sunday saloons, to conquer, are endeavoring to force to tae verge of liquor Iicense the con- fectioners, who manufacture and sell what are slangingly called in fashionable circles “wink Smps"’ That is when a feminine buyer does not wish to expose her frailty, shé calls for drops and gives the shopgirl the wink. ich, being translated, means either a gum or cream or chocolate drop charged with brandy, whisky, rum or curacoa. The shopgirl brings out the tray and quickly describes the contents of enc¥1 subdivision. These drops are charm- ing stimulants during shopping or visiting honrs and at matinees. oreover, a clever girl, invited to box or stall at opera or theater, can take some of these drops with her and so ‘prevent her escort from the necessity of going out between acts *‘to see a friend.”” Ign a pound of such drops are contained six drinks, according to club computation. Shall New York City have either of the Presidential conventions is a query of the hour. Its shopkeepers and_ hoteikeepers are bidding for this. New York will not win the Republican Convention, because other States represented on the National committee, that selects the r}nce, will veto New York as they fear that otherwise Morton would certainly win, and that his nomination would come from the gallery. New York, however, may obtain the Dem- ocratic Convention, although the omen of 1868, when one was held here, is against the idea. 1If it is selected as sure as he is alive ex-Governor Flower will be the nom- inee. He has prestige, wealth and the State machine. And if the coming Re- publican Congress blunders—but only in such a contingency—he will have a chance of election. Paderewski and Sir Henry Irving—the one petted of women and the other of clubs—have abstracted so much cash from amusement-seekers that a lull of box re- ceipts everywhere has been occasioned. The opera even has lost its pull; for the new generation knows almost by heart the scores of ancient ““Trovatore’’ and modern “Faust,” so thesefail to draw. But a nov- elty is in store in the production of *‘Pag- liacei’’—a tragic opera a la “Norma’'—by a new composer named Leoncavallo, who writes a score in the melodious and tender tones that were so frequent with Rossini ana Donizetti at a time when Maliban or Passa charmed our grandmothers with their rendering of those composers’ demi- semi-quavers and mournful minims, When “Pagliacci’’ visits other cities their music lovers will have something very delightful to hear and talk about.

ABOUT LATTER-DAY WRITERS. Considers the Modern Neurotic Novel a Waste of Power—Re “Ameri- can Pirates.” Justin McCarthy has been telling some very interesting reminiscences of the notable people he has met one time or another. I called upon him yesterday, says a London Daily Chronicle interviewer, and he was good enough to talk to me ona subject somewhat akin. This was his out- look upon English literature, alike from the point of view of authorship and that of the public appreciation of books since he began his literary career. Justin Mc- Carthy, with his wholly winning person- ality, has been much engulfed in politics, but he remains one of our best regarded bookmen. “The general interest in literature, as compared with the position of things when I was a young man,” said Mr. McCarthy, “is infinitely greater. It is not merely that there are so many more readers, but that those readers represent so much more fully all classes of the population. Even now, though, the English reading public is not so great proportionately as the American reading public is. Only we are still progressing, as, indeed, in our liking for books I have no doubt we shall always continue to do.” “‘And then authorship—is it a better business, better worth the best brains of the country, than it was when you first knew it?"” “An advance in that direction is a nec- essary accompanimett of the other, which leads me to point out—what I fancy isa well-recognized fact—tbat the greatest in- creasg in reading has been in fiction. How many novelists have we now writing to supply this demand? I'm sure I don't know. But when I wasa young man you could count the recognized novelists on vour fingers—the successful, the thor- oughly popular novelists, I mean. Let me see—and I speak of the period 1860 and thereabout—there were Dickens, Thack- eray, George ' Eliot, Charlotte Bronte— whose writings had immense vogue, al- though she herself had passed away— Charles Reade, Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins and Guy Livingstone.” “Guy Livingstone, whose works the younger generation perhaps hardly knows?"” “Hardly knows, as you say, although in popularity he ranked well to the front in those days. The names I have run over would practically represent the successful output of fiction then—a dozen successful writers—let us take it. Now, as I re- marked a minute ago, have such a number of successful novelists, and such a mass of really clever novels. 8till, is there one single novelist of the present who could be called great—great, that is to say, as Diekens was great and Thackeray was great? There is not one; so we come to this that the fieneral body of our literature is better—making a qualification which I shall come to just now—but the great are fewer.” ““We have a larger output of good litera- ture, but we rear fewer giants to give us the very best?” “Quite so; we rear fewer giants. The exception I was referring to—and I speak of the average novel especially—is literary style. That simply won’t compare with what prevailed when the demand for fic- tion and the means of putting 1t on the market were so much less than now. I have in my mind—as extreme examples perhaps—the folk who don’t make their nouns and their verbs agree, for I must confess that one sometimes comes across even that. I'm very sensitive as to good, pure English, a thorough mastery of gram- mar and style as apart from the story told in the novel, which may be ever so clever; but then I'm possibly old-fashioned in that respect.” “Probably some writers find Juublishers now who in the old days would not have been able to do it—I mean the opportuni- ties are greater, and so possibly the serutiny on style is less?”’ ““Chat sounds likely enough. Before, a man might have good ideas, but if he could not write good English he would not write atall. Or if he did write he would not have been able to find a publisher, pub- lishers being both fewer and more con- servative. The trouble at one time was to get a book of any kind published, only in that respect I was myself more fortunate than many others. was on the staff of a paper and that was at least a passport for my manuscript to be looked at by the pub- lishers. To-day anybody of literary gifts has at least a fair chance—some who have none, I'm atraid, get it, as witness the case of those nouns and verbs which don’t agree. To come back to where we were, authorship is, in fine, a better business than it was when I began it, and the same for that matter may be said of journalism.”” ‘“You have, no doubt, noted some of the changes in the sort of fiction taken in and read by the bulk of readers?” “‘The fiction of the sixties was the social fiction—the fiction about things we all knew, our customs, our habitudes, the fic- tion of Anthony Trdllope, if you like, for type. Thackeray wrote ‘Esmond’ and George Eliot ‘Romola,” and those are the only two historical novels of that period which occur to me. Now, thanks largely no doubt to the genius of Robert Louis Steyenson, the historical novel is strongly with us. And this renuissance on the lines of Scott, of Dumas, with differences, and a more direct form of narration perhaps, is a notable change. Of the neurotic novel— another change, and a feature quite disap- pearing, 1 believe—there was no hint then. ~ True, Reade and others wrote books dealing with problems, but they were problems which legislation could reach. There was hope of something coming out of the matter, but what could come of the neurotic novel which we have had in these later days? Woman we have had always with us and we have known her a long time. We cannot chanFe her much, nor she us, and therefore I'm in- clined to think the modern problem novel a waste of power.” “‘You have seen also the fall—for I sup- pose it is quite dead—of the three-volume novel ?” “T imagine the influence of that on the quality of English fiction will be good, be- cause it is not a satisfactory thing for an author to have to pan out a story to three volumes, when really it ought to be shorter. Ican recollect very weil the in- terest which was excited by the monthly installments of stories by Dickens and Thackeray as they came out. The circu- lation of Dickens in this way was probably five times as great as Thackeray’s circula- tion. After Dickens would have come Charles Lever and then Anthony Trollope, and the method of the authors, for the most part anyhow, was to write as the sto- ries came out, installment by installment. For several months there were no install- ments of ‘Pendennis,’ because Thack ray was ill.” “The relation of America to the produc- tion of English literature has no doubt in- terested you?"’ 5 “When I went to America first there was an honorable understanding among American publishers—long before Anglo- American copyright this was, of course— thata publisherissuing an English author’s books shouid be left alone to do so. Thus the American publisher could pay the English author very well—and I myself was well paid by several American houses —but a firm in Chicago started to issue nglish books at 10 cents, and that made the old honorable method of business im- Fum,ble, and introduced the piratical sys- em.” _“The copyright act was too late, I be- lieve, to save vour ‘History of Our Own Times’ from the American pirate?” “Why, not only that, but_somebody in America has recently taken the last volume of my history, and brought it up to date. Nay more, he has written of the Prian party somewhat harshly, which I, being chair- man of the party, was hardly like to do, you know. As you might judge, however, I don’t intend to let this gentleman’a com- pletion of the history stand alone—I hope 10 bring the work up to date myself.” HOTEL ARRIVALS. NEW WESTERN HOTEL.
