AMONG THE AUTHORS
[BY L. BMTTYEKR.]
Harper Brothers have jmt issued a
new book from the pen of Lillian Bell
entitled The Love Affairs oi an Old Maid.
Any of the readers of the gentler sex
who have tnrned their faces resolutely
toward the setting sun will thoroughly
enjoy this little book. And for the
other readers it will be not only a source
for passing away a few long summer
hours, bnt will act as a merry maker, it
is so full of jolly wit and repartee. It is
a pity tbat there is no prettier term to
bestow upon a girl bachelor of any age
than "old maid," "Spinster" is equally
uncomfortable, suggesting;, as it does,
corkscrew curls and immi derate attenu
ation of fram j: while "maiden lady,"
Which the ultra-punctilious substitute,
is entirely too mincing for sensible,
whole-souled people to countenance. I
dare cay tbat more women would have
the courage to remain unmarried were
there so euphonious a title awaiting
them as that of "bachelor," which,
when shorn of its accompanying adjec
tive, old, simply meane unmarried. The
term "bachelor," too, has somewhat of
a jaunty sound, implying to the sensitive
ear that its owner could have been mar
ried —oh, several times over—if he had
Wished. But both "spinster" and "old
maid" have narrow, restricted attri
butes which, to say the least, imply
doubt as to tbe past opportunity.
Names are covertly responsible for
many overt acts. Carlyle, when
he eaid, "The name is the easiest fer
ment you wrap around the earth-visiting
me. Names? Not only all common
speech, that science, poetry itself, if
thou consider it, is no other than a right
naming;" sounded a wonderful note in
moral philosophy, which rings false
many a time in real life, whan to ring
true wonld change tbe whole fare of
affairs. And the author is perfectly
right in boldly affirming, that were there
a proper sounding title to cover the
class of unmarried women, many a
marriage which now takes p'.ace, with
either moderate enccess or distinct fail
ure, would remain in pleasing embryo.
The writing of this book came about in
a peculiar way. One evening in a con
versation concerning modern marriage,
the unwisdom people display in choice,
and tbe complicated affair it has come
to be from a pastoral beginning, the au
thor said lightly: "I shall write a book
upon this subject somo fine day, and I
shall call it The Love Affairs of an Old
Maid; because popular prejudice de
crees that the love affairs of au old maid
necessarilyfse those of other people."
No sooner bad the name suggested in
broad jest taken form in her mind than
straightway every thought in her pos
session crystalled around it, and a mal
evolent fate impelled her to begin the
the book. And so the book was written
and the reader will enjoy it.
The existence of this particular
"old maid" haß often been a precarious
one; she ha-> been eurrounded by
danger, once narrowly egsraping crema
tion. But the humanity shown to dumb
brutes by the author-baa ahvavs caved
her. She migbt nave "eacrificed a
woman, but she could not kill a cat. 80
the "old maid" lives, unconsciously
owing her life to her cat. And so she
comes to the reader, bearing her friends
in her heart. The writer would scarcely
dare to ask you to welcome her, did she
not suspect tbat her friends are youra.
You all have your Flossy and your
Oharlie Harding without doubt. Fray
heaven you have a Kachel to outweigh
them. This book, although one with
which to pass away au idle hour, has
many good things iv it. It is well for
us to learn, even from a light summer
novel, tbat there is much in life which
we could not see at the beein.iing, but
which grows with our growth and gradu
ally bears us company in the richness of
evening-tide.
•"Tie greatly wise to talk with our pa3t
hour/-.
And ask them what report they boro to
heaven,
And how they might havo borne more wel
come news."
Yet there is a sadness also iv lookiug
back. One sees so many ioet opportuni
ties lifting their wistful fact's and
dumbly pleading to be accepted with
tbeir promises, yet we carelessly pasj
them by. Lost faces come up before
you which you might have gladdened
oftensr. Voices sound ia your tars
whose tones you might have made hap
pier if you would. Aad the past.isvery
often far away and wrapped iv a
shadowy ruinbow mi6t. Bead thin book
and find a study of character very acute,
the analysis or motives and conduct so
skillful, and withtd, the wit and s '.tire
co keen that yon will not tiro from coui
ffiencement to finish.

Another valuable little book issued by
Harper & Bros., is ono full of hints for
every-day life by Lady M. Colin and
M. French-Sheldon, entitled Every
body's Book of Ccrect Conduct. From
a careful perusal of tbia little volume
we lied it is intended for 3 guide in
every-day conduct in all matters, and
at the same time &s a mentor in the im
portant affaire of life. It i= isr?sin that
he who lives correctly every day will
find himself following the higher laws
of morality and rectitude. As a pre
ceptor for young and old alike, it will bo
found invaluable, giving aa it does the
rules to be observes by children in their
conduct towartl their parents and the
duties of parents toward their children,
It goes into the etiquette of entertaining
and visiting thoroughly and it will be
found most useful either to the iuexpo
rienced hostese or to the visitor unac
customed to eociety. In the relatione
between husband and wife it jives rules
Which will induce and preservo har
mony; to the business man it tead'en a
code which wiii win for him respect as
well as eucc6P6 : and to the sportsman it
Impartß the necessary guidance in con
duct which will enable him toobtain both
pleasure and popularity. No part of
daily life haa been omitted, and this
book will most fill a vacant
place in education, and assist both,
teachers of others and toachers of them
selves in their task. Tbe principal
chapters ar6 devoted to The Duties of
Life, addressed to the home circle, as a
husband, us a wife, and between pa
rents and children. The Pleasure of
Life includes making calls, as a host or
hotftesß, as a gueat at dances and at
•
home, or as a guest visiting at a country
house. Tbe Details of Life concern
dress and tbe toilet, breakfast, iunch,
dinner, in general and at a wedding.
The Studious I'art of Life is on the sub
ject of instruction, in the study, in read
ing, writing, handwriting correspon
dence, and in education, the fine arts,
etc. The Formation of Habit tells of it
in life, in matters of business, in matters
of taste, the question of indulgence and
the choice of friends. Tbe Heart and
Conscience, regarding tbe motives of
life, heroism in silence, and personal re
sponsibility. Conversation, in speech,
lin general, and stories and anec
dotes as parts of conversation. Out-of-
Door Life, walking, games, riding and
driving. With such a choice of subjects
and such eood authority and keen per
ception, the book is a mine of informa
tion only to reveal the gems contained
to those who delve for them.
Ti>e Arena company deal only in
books on tbe niot,t vital subjects of the
' present era, subjects of moment to every
> one, subjects that are producing the
I most brilliant thoughts of tbe grandest
! minds of this day and age. One of their
late publications is a novel of thrilling
i interest by William W. Wheeler enti
tled Life. One small word, but with a
world of meaning/in it; a book which
has a purpose. and that a grand one. In
thfs novel hf> baa put before the public
some of the . carest statements of logi
cal ideas regarding humanity's present
aspects, its inherent and manifest pow-
I ers and its future tiiat we have ever
I read. The book is strong, keen, power-
I fui; running over with thought, co ex
pressed as to clearly convey the author's
ideas; everything is to tbe point, noth
ing superfluous—and for thie it is espe
cially admirable.
Lee & Sbepard deserve the thanks of
every mother and every kindergarten
teacher in our land as well as other
lauds for producing such a pleasing book
on the life and labors of the king of
cbildreus' friends, the kindest of teach
ers, Froebel, from whose brain was
evolved the principles of this method of
teaching and entertaining the great army
of children. The universal spread of the
kindergarten has given a new and vivid
Interest to all that relates to Frobel. In
the selections from hie letters never be
fore published, just made by Mr. Heine
mann, we are taken into the silent brain
chambers of the friend of children; and
we see how he toiled painfully along the
road pointed out by reasoning and ex
perience before (in his simple phrase) he
"found" tbe kindergarten. This book,
with its explanatory notes, becomes at
once a memoir and a history of the system.
The principles of child development
known aB the kindergarten are almost
universally accepted, and the experi
ences of tbe founder has, for teachers
and parents, a strong and pathetic in
interest. We admire his firm grasp of
principles, we are equally interested in
his struggles with poverty ana with the
German monarchy, and we come to
know and love him as if he were a near
friend. After many years the patient
labors, tbe unwearied thought and ex
periment of Froebel have found a re
ward, too late for him, who died in
poverty and under the ban of the gov
ernment, but in eeaaon for his fame, aud
for tbe spread of bis ideas in all lands.

About July Ist, Harper & Brothers
will issue in their Black asd White
aeries, Edwin Booth, by Lawrence Mut
ton. No one at all interested in the
troubles and triumphs of the great
actor should fail to read Mr. Hutton's
admirable sketch. Thia author, who
was a firm personal friend of Mr. Booth,
gives a necessarily rapid but quite com
proheneive review of (he incidents in
Mr. Booth's life, and closes with the laat

Mr. Booth, as an actor, ever ottered —

One of tho late novele good for the
Bummer season ia the new one in the
Choice series, published by Robert Bon
ner's Sons, New York city. It is by
Mrs. Harriet Lewiß, entitled Neva's
Three Lovsra, illustrations by F. M.
Grogory. Thiß novel iB one to interest
every reader, young snd old. It is a
good story. The heroine i« an nnueual
character, and the plot and incidenes in
which she plays tiuch an important part
excite in the mind of tbe reader a depp
feeling of admiration and of profound
interest in her fortunes. The novela of
Mrs. Lewis, beginning with Her Double
Life, have al! enjoyed immenee popu
larity. The furnish delightful reading
and recreation, and the scenes described
in such vivid language linger in the
memory. Mrs. Lewis was a great trav
eler and viaUed tha most pieturecque
and lovely portions of the old world, and
ehn used "her experience to entertain and
delight her readers.
In a recent, suit in the London courts
for tne infringement of a copy writ;ht of
a play founded on East Lynr.e, the fact
was brought out that. Mrs. Henry Wood,
the author o! the novel, never received a

dramas founded on it. The English
copyright law does not protect a novelist
from theatrical "adaptere."
One of the most interesting features of

TRIED TO KILL HIS WIFE.
O. R. Crarshe Flrea Three shots at Sis
Wife.
Anaheim Gazette: Late Monday even
ing Mrs. Dma F. Czarske of Garden
Grove came into town and hunted up
officers Groat and Adams and swore out
a warrant for the arrest of her husband,
0. H. Czarske, charging bim with an
attempt to kill her. Czarske bad been
to Santa Ana, and returned home in the
evening under the influence of liquor
..nd beganabnsinghis wife. When they
retired be took his ebotgnn and laid it
upon the bed alongside him. Later in
the evening he took it into bis head to
begin a fusilade, and fired the gun three
times, whether at her or not it is hard
to say. She left the house and went to
the residence of a neighbor, where she
procured a hat and shawl and borrowing
a wagon she came to town and swore out
tbe warrant.
The officers went down and arrested
him. Mr-. Czarske went along in her
wagon to show them tbe house, but re
mained about 200 yards away when the
officers went in to make the arrest.
They arrived at the house sometime
after midnight, and found Czarske lying
across the bed sleeping off the effects of
tbe liquor, and the shotgun alongside of
him. He was arrested and brought to
town, and despite his entreaties, was
lodged in the jail. Hie wife passed the
night at the home of a friend.
Czarske was brought before Judge
Tierce Tuesday morning for trial. His
mind was a total blank as to the shoot
ing, and he said be certainly never
thought of such a thing as taking a shot
at his wife, and if he did so it must have
been only to frighten her and make her
behave. The judge was not disposed to
deal harshly with him, and telling him
that it was altogether improper to have
a shotgun in bed with him, and reading
him some good advice as to the manner
in which a man should treat his wife,
fined him (10, and warned him never to
come before him on such a charge again.
A check was drawn in payment for the
fine, both Czarske and his wife signed
it and they departed. Beaching the
sidewalk he asked.
"Did you bring the buggy up with
you ?"
She said she had not, and both left to
hunt np a rig to go home and be good.
TRIPLETS.
The Present Mrs. Gilbert Gave to Her
Hnsband.
"Shades of darkness, have I got 'em
again, or is it only the blind stagger?!"
wildly gasped one of the clerks in the
county auditor's office yesterday after
noon. The supreme awe expressed in
his voice acted with leavening effect
upon the other clerks. One aud all
were instantly aroused from their half
hour-before-closing lethargy, and clus
tered around bim. The cashier went for
the ice water to pour upon tho exclaim
er's fervid brow, but he waived him
aside.
"That ain't it. Look," he exclaimad,
pointing to a paper he had been copying
into a book. Eagerly the crowd looked,

With great emotion the clerk pointed

"June 18, to the wife of D. Gilbert, two
boys and one girl at the same birth."
And then there came a stillness aa of
death. The density of quiet was broken
finally by a Herald reporter, who
asked what was the trouble.
"Nobody knows," replied the clerk.
"I guess it was the climate."
GRANTED TO MRS. TAYLOR
A Del Mar Sensation Knds In an Appro
priate Manner.
San Diego Union: An error waa made
yesterday in reporting the divorce case
of Taylor vs. Taylor, as having resulted
in a decree in favor oi Jacob S. Taylor as
against Susan Taylor. The decree was
granted to Mrs. Taylor on a cross-com
plaint, and the custody of the two
younger children was awarded to her.
The case waa a peculiar one, in that tbe
complaint filed by Taylor stated that
the marriage had taken place in IS7O
and that there were no children of the
union, whereas the cross-complaint gave
the date of the marriage aa 1868, and
named four children as being fruits of
tho marriage. When the case came to
trial Tuesday, neither Taylor nor hie at
torney pat in an appearance. Judge
T.orrance, after hearing the evidence,
granted an absolute divorce to Mrs. Tay
lor. The division of the plaintiff's pro
prety, alleged to be worth $200,000, has
not yet been made.

Special Correspondence to the Herald.]
Chicago, June 25.
The daily attendance at the fair shows
a satisfactory increase. Thursday tbe
paid admissions were 127,372, being a
greater number than any previously re
corded, except tbe opening day. The
average attendance is already surpassing
that of the Paris exposition, and it is re
ported that more people have visited
Chicago this year than ever visited one
place in thia country before in a like
period. The fair will be open every
night now until the olosing.
Thursday evening was the finest of
any thia week at the fair. The electric
fountains wero at their best, and hun
dreds of skyrockets filled the air with
glowing colore. There will be no more
fireworks in the grand basin, on account
of the insurance, but the management
will provide a more elaborate display in
tbe lake just off the manufactures build
ing, between the government and steam
boat piers.
It is in the first presages of twilight
that the world's fair panorama is most
stately and quiet, and it in in the Bame
hazy hoar, tot,, .ij.at one of tbe numerous
little charms, which to many are lost in
the big display, is to be experienced.
For the fair boaetß of two seta of chimes,
and these are mug early in the evening,
when the bands have stopped playing
and most people have gone noma.. The
soft melody floating out over the White
City soothes th> tbe tired visitor as
nothing else can do. Of course they are
out of tune, most all chimes are, but
what one wants from the belfry is not
tones, but the sound of bells, that sonnd
which in some subtle way is inevitably
connected with memories, either ex
alted, saddening or poetic. It is well
worth the fare to be on the grounds at
dusk, juat to get tbe effect of these bell
peals ringing over tbe silent city. In a
few weeks the White City will be tilled
with goggle-eyed humanity. The tall
white buildings aro very hard on the
eyes.
For a while the eight-seers ecoffat the
colored glasses and fctvsp on tbeir way
with eyes screwed and wripkted up until
incipient inflammation threatens, and
then they submit and buy a pair of tbe
homely bat needfnl glasses. Tbe glit
ter of the white sand under foot and
white buildings all around is very try
ing to the eyes, especially as one is for
the greater part of the time looking up.
One thing is noticable at the fair, that
is, tbat no one is ever called green or
gawky on the gronnde. Everyone is
gapping with their mouth? open part of
the time at tbe many wonders, and as
everyone else seems to be doing the
same thing it is not noticed.
Ohio tendered v reception to Governor
Mcivinley in their beautiiul building at

ent Btato buildings all along during the
summer. The fair will hardly be more
interesting one week than another, if we
except the week of the Fourth. Prep
arations on a grand scale are being made
to have the grandeet Fourth of July that
this country bos ever seen. Ono hun
dred thousand dollars' worth of fire
works will be displayed on the lake in
front of the "white city." All who can
ought to visit tho exposition during the
first week in July.
At 11 o'clock the Huytian pavilion,
which was formally dedicated iast New
Year's day, was opened to ths public.
Frederick Douglass, the late minister to
Hayti, delivered the opening address,
and was followed by several of tbe Hay
tian commissioners and Charles A. Pres
ton, former secretary of the Haytian le
gation at Washington. Hayti shows 34
different kinds of coffee, variouß quali
ties of cotton, cocoa and all the cereals.
Iv the industrial section is a fine dis
play of saddlery and horse equipments
am: ravr and tanned leathers, from the
roughest shoe leather to the finest Bns
sian. Several large cases are rilled with
the women's exhibit of fine laces and
dresses. The metal.*, minerals, woven
textures and fabrics displayed show that
Hayti is rich in material resources, and
the finished product demonstrates a de
cided advance in the industrial arts dur
ing the laet decade.
One place at tbe iair should be visited
by all means. That ie the leather build
ing. There are some very interesting
exhibits to be seen there. The hido of
the biggest horse in the world, tanned
with tne hair and heavy mane and tail,
is exhibited. There is a tanned walrus
hide, an inch thick, and large enough
to make a good sized tent. There is a
pair af shoes which weighs two ounces
apiece and have a tinkling bell con
cealed in the hijh heel. Leather for
decorating purposes has an important
place in the display. There are tanned
snake skins, alligator hides and morocco
leather exhibited.
In tbe gallery the machinery is. run
ning. In one exhibit, yonng women
make shoes while you wait. One can
watch the piece of leather from the time
it is cut out of the hide until the last
piri puts the bnttonsun it and hands it
out to the crowd for inspection. It makes
a good object lesson for the girls and
boys to watch these things made before
their eye?. Evelyn Nims.
