of what is called the American

Genesis and the seventeenth verse.

said that the theory held by many
as to Cain's wifo would also have
to be abandoned. "Tho orthodox
answer to the question," said he,
"is perhaps Cain married his sister.
Well, I don't think he did. Now, I
am not going to shirk the answering
SM of this question. I have a theory of
our race which others do not believe
in. Nine of ten believe that the
human race came irom one pair.
I don't believe it. Do you say that

Nod, because he had no sister.
When Seth was bora Adam was
only 130 years old, a very young
man for those days, and Seth was
his third child. There is no men

place, Cain departed to a country
where there wero people, and he
feared these people would slay him
for his crime, and the Lord recog
nized the reality of this danger and
set a mark on him that he might
be saved. The bible nowhere states
that there were onlv two' people

generic name for the human race,
and 'male and female created he

count of tho joint-stock novelists,
Erckmann and Chatrian. They are
neither of them natives of that
Alsaco with which they have m ado
us so familiar, but come from Lor
raine, as does About himself. Emilc
Erckmann was born at Plialsbourg
(irty-four years ago. Jlis lather
'was a small bookseller who eked
out tlus B:tlo of literatim by that of
groceries. Ho sent his son to col
legend mado him study law. The
latter is a iollv bachelor, without
near relatives. He loves good living
and tho wine and beer of Alsace,
also his pipe. Still better ho loves
long hunting expeditions. His
teeth troubled him, so ho had them
all removed, and now munches
bed more money than you could
shake a stick at.
"Oh, button up your lip," said
the candidate, who was getting ou

want to so in the house.
" Uut one word, and my business
with you is ended not my busi

"Let me alone," said the now
thoroughly irritated candidate.
"I've goto'ther uses for fifty dollars
than giving it to ita old stiff like
ation. Tho fate of theso works
rarely corresponds with the hopes
or the expectations of tlieir
authors. Managers aro not, as a
rule, kind or polite to play
wrights unknown to fame; their
distrust of " outsiders " is rooted.
Formerly a reader was employed
alike by managers and publishers
to inquire into the nature and mer
its or dements of the manuscripts
f the unknown; but the managers
have dispensed with such an assist
ant. These are days of "long
runs," when but one or two plays
can be produced in a season. Why,
len, employ any ono to read
lays that cannot possibly be rep
resented: Ahere is always a
chance that among theso despised
manuscripts a worn ol genuine
merit may be discovered; but the
managers have quite decided that
the chance 13 too slender and re
mote to be appreciable. Meanwhile, i
tho difficulty of the unknown dra
matist, whom no manager will help
to becomo known, is of course very
great. Generally, perhaps.he seeks
other roads to fame than that which
eads through tho theater, and over
which "right of way" is denied him.
Or by persistent elf orts, and careful
watching and waiting for an oppor
tunity, he is enabled to break
through the manager's guard, and
to present himself to tho public in
tho long-Voped-for guise of a dram
atist ; with such results as tho spec
tators he comes beloremay, in their
wisdom or unwisdom, decree. The
door-keeper receives these packets
ot manuscripts, lhcy are stored
m a tin box; they are never
looked at by the manager, who,
when he wants a play, knows,
or thinks ho knows, where he
can obtain one, and addresses
himself accordingly to a playwright
who had previously produced plays.
The unknown author waits and
waits, writes and writes, but noth
ing of importance happens in con
sequence. Perhaps, if he is urgent,
even to assuming a menacing
tude, he may receive back his play
precisely as it left his hauds
unread, unseen, unheard of, by the
manager, If, however, he is weak
and despondent, worn out by de
ferred hope, he will probably aban
don his manuscript altogether,
permitting the fates to do what
they list with it; when it will surely
find its way from the tin box to the
butter-man s.
