He was one of the wittiest of modern Aristophanes n not wittier. It is well that the wittiest of modem Americans survives to wtite a brief biography; Oliver Wendell Holmes knew "1'om" Appleton at his best He might Iuivt written a volume about him Pethaps his short paper in the June Atlantic is all the more charming for its condensed wealth of tribute. 1 cannot resist quoting one passage "A little more than sixty jcars .ico, if one could have looVcd in at the garden or climbed up to the garret of .No,; walnut street, he might have seen three boys in mantles and tlouli- lets and other stage appurtenances en acting the scenes of some truculent melodrama. One of these boys was our vivacious and inventite friend, who must, I think, have been stage man ager and chief costumcr. The second was a boy of striking beauty, with dark waving locks, who as a prince, or at a poet, or, with an inky cloak and a suit of solemn black, as a youthful Hamlet, would have seemed the very ideal of his part This was the future historian whose name is known and honored in all the academics of the world, whose books arc read in all the most widely spoken tongues of hur ope, John Lothrop Motley. The third little boy, with the singular sil very thrill in his voice, I remember it well in the mother from .hom it descended to him, this third little boy, the afterglow of whose more than auburn hair came from some ancestor whose sun had set before my day, was the embryo orator whose voice was so recently silenced Wendell Phillips." rushes and wondered why there was neera lotus in the near foreground! ..Jjv. ana neni hit car iu t an m inc i.w uini murmur of the vocal Memnon. Then I went luck and read another chapter and another, till I had finished the .tool. And lo it was .1 r m., and the hungry pot huntcts came wearily home ; but the supper which should have been was not.

Tiii'Wfui Allornrin nl f.nifi No. jl MeitiNT Staairr . IIOVMVLV Tom Appleton wrote a good deal, first and last. Most that I know was dilettant work, alike careless of pur pose and of fame, but he wrote one book a thin volume of perhaps a hun dred and twenty duodecimo pages which 1 shall never forget. It was about the Nile, and he wrote as charminglyas I'rimcor Curtis or"Dudu" Fletcher or Charley Stoddard ; but in a vastly different way. There was not a line of"rincwriting"from thcfirstpage to the last the other books arc full of it jits sylewassimplidty simplified andyct thepcrfumeofthelotusfillcditspagcsand the solemn rhythm of the crooning Nile was a refrain to every sentence. Yet perhaps I ought to admit that I came to know the book under peculiar cir cumstances. I was in Stockton, Cali fornia, in the winter 0P75. I was one of little hunting party of three who had arranged with Dick Godfrey and his "ark" forawcek'sduckshootinginthe tules. Perhaps there are some read er of the Press who have never seen a San Joaquin-River "ark." In brief it is a house with a boat under it or a bait with a house on top of it as you please. It has just keel enough to give it the necessary resistance. A mast runs through the roof and a square sail takes the wind, when necessary to beat against tide or current. Some of these arks are very comfortable and Dick Godfrey's was the best one on the river. It had four bunks and a ham mock, a square table with the mast in its centre, a bath tub, a mirror long enough to reflect an elaborate ball train, three or four good chromos of general subjects and a little library in which were Worcester's Unabridged and Zell's Cyclopedia. No ordinary pot-hunter was Dick Godfrey, though he had shot wild game for twenty consecutive win ters. He remembered when elk and grizzley bear were so common around San Joaquin that, in season, he could be sure of half a dozen of the former and at least one of the latter in almost any day's hunting. In 1840 he had graduated from one of the eastern col leges, had studied medicine, had given that up and had dabbled in newspaper work. He was trying very hard to be a lawyer when the gold e.citement of '49 broke out He came to El Dorado on the comb of the first wave, which left him stranded in-thc hamlet halting place of Stockton in the spring of '50. He had been obliged to quit mining by a siege of rheumatism, and May of '50 found him convalescent in Stockton, with a rifle and a suit of clothes, a Bi ble, a pocket Shakespeare and enough money to buy about forty rounds of ammunition. He began to hunt elk and griwley chiefly for their skins. He reversed the natural order. He became hunter as a means of livelihood ; he continued it as a pastime. From 1850 to 1875 he had never been further away from Stockton than San Francisco and since 55 he hail not failed in spending at least four months of each year in the heart of the tules, his only communication with the world being the river boats by which he sent his game to market He was not morose, or moody or solitary but he learned to love the muddy river as his dearest borne. And now one of the writticst of New- Yorkers is dead also. A bright man in a different way from Tom Applcton's, he was not less a prince in tlic realm of table-talk. Sam Ward was one of the least known of Americans. All the Ivnglish scaking and reading world knew something aliout Ward and yet the things most to his credit were least known. A contemporary says He used to bo.nl that he numbered among his friends Hismarck, King Umberto, Victor Hugo, Gambctta, President Grevy, Gladstone, Robert Drowning, the Prince of Wales, Pom Pedro of Hrtuil, the Duke of Cambridge, the Emperor Francis Joseph, the Czar of Russia. Thomas llulcy, Charles Darwin, Ten nyson, the Duke of Manchester, .Mrs. Lanutry, Ilortcnsc Scnncider, Mary E. Hraddon. Cora Pearl, Rhodallroughton, Leo XII., Iluchncr, Paul de Cassagnac, Cardinal Newman. Don Carlos, Al phonsc Daudct, Charles Rcadc, llaron Grant, Sarah Bernhardt, Ernest Renan, the Archbishop of ork, Henri Roche fort, the Dukcof Argyle, and most con temporaneous men and women of note. Mr. Ward might have been added poor Jim Kccnc's name to this list, that misguided California speculator having helped Mr. Ward to a snug little fortune for which the jolly gourmet gave a quid pro quo in "social tone."

Its past is too recent, its legends too frag mentary, its traditions too contradictory to give it the ground work for a litera ture of its own. I am not disparaging our own writers. I recognize the value of Judge Pomander's researches, I np- nrcciate tne re-story-ietung 01 .Minister DaggetL I have read and re-read the Hawaiian reminiscences of Mrs. Judd; and yet The trouble is that the litera ture of a race must come from the race itself We "incidental" Hawaiians may not supply iL All that vve write is exotic, at bcsL But there is ample opportunity for original work here, in the American way, the English, German, French manner. After all, there is nothing so interests men as mankind except womankind. And society here presents a thousand phases that a clever story-writer ought to be able to put into effective incident, dialogue ana plot. The Hawaiian Monthly and the Satur day Press ought to have good local stories stories worth reading and. therefore, worth laying for. The old, old story goes on here as everywhere only, perhaps, a little less so because life is so well worth living for its own sweet sake for the very sensuous joy of being alive ; of noting in the splen dor of full moonlight, of drinking in the perfumed air of morning, of watcning the sundown sky glow and jale and glow again. But there are a hundred capital stories wailing the story teller in Honolulu and Honolulu s suuuros. Types of character await the limner who shall make them live as Dickens did, as Thackery, as Ccorge Eliot, as Reade ; social questions are hcc need inn the (laming ien of the reformer the novelist reformer ; dainty idyls of life arc at every turn needing treatment that shall be sentimental without being mankish : poems of devotion triumph ant over failure and suffering await the poeL Why do not I write these stories myself ? The candle is too big lor me canuic suck, nnu, trouic, i have a long story yet unfinished. It began in San Francisco and is now in the Black Hills of Wyoming it has been there lour years. If some imaginative Sammaritan will bring the poor bedrid den talc to Hawaii he may have a tolerably picturesque three fifths of a (possibly) excellent soy for nothing. " E0. L.
