(1S02-1S7G.)
Harriet Martlneau, whom Lord Brough
am called "the little deaf -woman at Nor
wlch," did more to mold public opinion
than many of her contemporaries -whose
writings have proved snore valuable to
posterity. Her Huguenot ancestors had
come to England after the revocation of
the edict of Nantes, and the Independence
of spirit -which had caused them to be
come refugees In the seventeenth century
caused their descendants to become Uni
tarians In the nineteenth century.
Harriet's father, a -wealthy bombazine
manufacturer, gave all of his children an
unusually liberal education, but neither
he nor his wife seemed to possess the key
to the idiosyncrasies, of child nature- Con
sequently their daughter Harriet, whose
senses -were phenomenally dull and whose
nervous temperament was arbitrary and
Inexplicable, suffered a loveless childhood
HARRIET
at'
from which the true child spirit was con
spicuously absent. After reading h.r
graphic autobiography, Thackeray ex
pressed the whimsical regret that Harriet
Martlneau should not have chosen her
parents more wisely. This autobiography
teems with tales of unaccountable fright,
induced by her dullness of vision and men
tal perception: absence of the sense of
smell, and an Incurable defect in her hear
ing. This very dullness, however, which
shut her off from the world of the senses,
forced her to concentrate her powers upon
intellectual pursuits, so that her mind be
came more far-reaching because of Its
singularly Imperfect dwelling.
At the age of 20, Harriet Martlneau be
came entirely deaf. She met this afflic
tion with the same cheerful strength
which characterized every trial of her
life, and immediately resolved never to
ask her friends to repeat an observation
lest she should thus maKe them sharers
in the irksomeness of her misfortune.
Harriet Martlneau made three literary
ventures before she wag well launched
upon the stream of literary popularity
down which she afterward sailed so sw.ft
ly and so smoothly. "When her brother
James, afterward the celebrated Dr. Mar
tlneau, went away to college he advised
Harriet, his student comrade, to beguile
his absence with authorship. She was
then but 19, and with her usual tlmorous
ness told no one of her trial article, 'Fe
male Writers in Practical Divinity," which
she sent anonymously to the Monthly
Repository, a Unitarian magazine. When
the olist son dropped in the following
Sunday to read to the family the best
thing that the paper had printed for a
long time Harriet was covered with con
fusion to recognize her article as the sub
ject ot her brother's praise. The reader
was so Irritated that Harriet did Jiot join
in the family chorus of approval that sh
was obliged to confess having written the
essay, whereupon her kindly brother, lay
ing his hand upon her shoulder. sa.d
gravely: "Now, dear, leave It to other
women to make shirts and darn stockings,
"and do you devote yourself to this."
A few years later the father died, worn
out with business cares, and each of the
family was thrown on his own resources.
As Harriet was too deaf to teach she be
came an expert needlewoman, stitching
far Into the night and occasionally stretch
ing her wings as an author. She enjoyed
surmounting obstacles, and frequently re
ferred to this period of prodlg.ous work
as delightful, in that it revealed to her
her capacity for work and her powers of
endurance. She frequently supplemented
her needlework by writing until 2 or 3 in
tho morning, receiving but 15 a year for
her contributions of essays, book reviews,
poems and devotional exercises to the
Monthly Repository.
Her secend important literary venture
was her submlsison of three essays to the
Central Unitarian Association. This body
had offered three urizes of 10. 15 and 10
guineas each for the best ersays on the
presentation of Unltarlanlsm to Jews.
Catholics and Mohammedans. Always fond
of theology, Harriet determined to "try for
all the prizes, and accordingly took every
precaution to prevent the discovery that
the three essays were by the same hand,
even going so far as to have the nrst
treatise, to which she devoted a month's
time, copied by a poor schoolboy. Al
though there were many learned competi
tors. Harriet, to her great astonishment,
gained every prize.
Her third notable experiment does not
read so much like a fairy tale, for there
were too many refusals, snubblngs and
hard bargainings such as assail more or
dinary mortals to make the effort a de
light. These obstacles once surmounted,
however, Harriet Martlneau found herself
securely seated on the front benches of
fame, from which she could successfully
survey the literary turmoil of the less
successful. Thenceforth she had only to
choose the mast congenial of the number
less literary offers which constantly as
eallcd her. The work which thus assured
her literary reputation was a series of
tales illustrative of the principles of po
litical economy. They were generally re
fused by cautious publishers, fearful ot
the experiment of diffusing knowledge In
the garb of fiction. Many averring that
the public was too much agitated by the
cholera and the reform bill to consider any
new departure, causing the indefatigable
author to exclaim that she was as heartily
sick of the reform bill as William IV him.
self. Through all these discouragements
she felt convinced that her work was
needed, and saying constantly to herself.
"My book will do yet!" she pressed on. in
spite of the "Noes" that were constantly
shouted Into her ear trumpet.
A bookseller finally offered to take the
work upon the unpleasant condition that
the author should fh-st secure 500 subscrlp
tions for the book. Any one else so deaf
and so obscure would have recoiled from
such a proviso; but. nothing daunted, she
sent a prospectus to each member of Par-
sr
llament, and in three -weeks the sale of
her stories had run to 6000 copies and the
author had no further care about money.
These stories, aside from their great merit
of disabusing the public mind of the im
pression that science is too deep or too
recondite for the ordinary intellect, pos
sessed an all-absorbing Interest Tegarded
simply as stories. Her fajth in these and
) subsequent efforts led many to mlsunder
; stand her sure perception of the public
needs for a remarkable egoism. She was
self-centered naturally from the nature of
I her affliction and from the constant proof
I which she received of her correct reading
I of public necessity; but from ordinary, in
I sufferable conceit she was preserved by
. her untiring efforts for humanity.
I Harriet Martineau's success was tem
pered by a great sorrow, which, happen
ing before her father's death. Influenced
I' her entire lite. A young Unitarian minis
ter, a classmate of her brother James,
, who frequently spent his vacations at
j Norwich, greatly admired Harriet, but
S hesitated to ask her to marry Into a life
l of poverty. When the Martlncaus .lost
their property, however, he became en-

gaged to Harriet, but the overwork at
tending the care of a large church in
Manchester brought on brain fever, which
resulted in an unbalanced mind. His
death shortly after made a painful Im
pression upon the girl of 24 which time
never effaced.
After her "Illustrations of Political
Economy" had sold well up In the hundred
thousands, and her "Tales Upon Taxa
tion," "The Poor Laws," "Free Trade,"
"Anti-Corn Laws," "Forest and Game
Laws," "Bills of Exchange," "Slavery,"
"Polish Exile." "Military Hygiene,"
"Drainage In Agriculture." "Strikes and
Overpopulation.- had met with phenome
nal success, she was besieged by every
hobbyist In England. Members of Par
liament and public personages who wished
their grievances aired in fiction sent her
statistics and memoranda until the post
master notified her that she "must send
for her share of the mall, for It could not
be carried without a barrow." All this at
a time when the author was but 30 years
of age, "I have had no Spring," she com
mented, "but that cannot be helped now
. . . I had now, by 30 years of age,
ascertained my career, found occupation
and achieved Independence. ... Any
one to whom that happens by 30 years of
age may.be satisfied; and I was so."
Two years after she sailed to America to
recuperate from the prolonged strain of
writing 34 volumes In about two and a
half years. During her two years' stay
In this country she studied the Institutions
of the people. She seemed to gain a
clearer Insight than does the average
hasty traveler, and the results of her
observations are not as derogatory as
those of the superficial tourist. In her
volume "Society in America," she ad
vances the theory that the Americans
may always be trusted to do the right
thing In time. Of American manners she
says: "They are the best I ever saw:
and these are seen to the greatest ad
vantage In their homes. . . . They
have been called the most good-tempered
people In the world, and I think it must
be so. ... 1 Imagine, the practice of
forbearance requisite In a republic Is an
swerable for this pleasant peculiarity."
The manuscript of her other work on
America, called "Retrospect of Western
Travels," was presented in 1S93 to the
Drexel Institute of Philadelphia by Mr.
George W. Chllds.
One of her greatest accomplishments
was her translation and condensation of
the "Philosophy of Auguste Comte." Her
simplification of this rather verbose work
was so successful that It was translated
back Into French and used as a text-book
of positivism, while the original work had
merely a curious alue for libraries and
Monopolists. Meanwhile. Harriet Martl
neau twice refused a government pension,
preferring to support her blind mother
and Intemperate brother by her own ex
ertions, to receiving from the government
money which she had not earned.
A few years later she built herself a
cozy gray-stone cottage at Ambleside,
where she worked lndefatlgably, cheered
by the congenial society of Wordsworth.
Emerson. Coleridge. Macrcady, Southey.
Lytton. Hallam. Landseer and a host of
other bright minds. She enjoyed above
all things a duel of wit with the Inimit
able Sydney Smith, whose voice she de
clared "sounded like the great bell of
St. Paul's." and made the use of her
ear-trumpet quite unnecessary. Haw
thorne said of her conversational powers:
"She is the most continual talker I
ever heard. It is really like the babbling
of a brook, and very lively and sensible,
too; and all the while she talks she
moves the bowl of her ear trumpet from
one auditor to another, so that It becomes
quite an organ of Intelligence between
her and yourself."
When not writing accounts of her trav
els In the Orient, a history of the 30-years"
peace or fascinating story books for chil
dren, she was exerting a most practical
nelghborllness In her community. She
most generously placed her valuable pri
vate library at the disposal of all who
asked, organized building societies and
mechanic institutes, to which she gave
free courses of lectures upon sanitation,
the Constitution of the XTnlted States, the
Crimean War and current topics. She de
monstrated her theories by building self
supporting workingmen's cottages and by
giving her poorer neighbors practical evi
dence of the way in which a farm of two
acres may be made to pay.
Meanwhile she had received an unusual
offer for a woman, viz., that of writing
"leaders" for the Dally News, a large
London newspaper. For this paper alone
she wrote 1S12 editorials, by many con
sidered the most influential part of her
life work. She so molded public opinion
that to her largely belongs the responsi
bility of England's position during our
lateClvll War. "Harriet Martlneau alone."
declared W. E. Forster. "was keeping our
country straight In regard to America."
SecftHSe ber books were such man-els
of clearness and cleverness, cot classic,
but the result of a trained mind gifted
with instantaneous Insight, and because
of the masculine order of her work, many
have accused her of having a passionless
intellect. The great number of friends.
among the famous and among the lowlj
neighbors who knew and loved her, claim
that tho passion with which she worked
for the betterment of humanity up to the
very day of her death In 1S7G Is the best
refutation of such a charge.
EDUCATION IN CUBA.
Foreigners May Be- Employed as
University Professor.
HAVANA, May 4. La Lucha recom
mends tho employment of foreigners as
professors in the University of Havana
and Eng-neering College of Cuba, declaring
that apparently there are no Cubans suf
ficiently Instructed to hold the professor
ships. The paper points out that this
course has been followed in the Institutions
of learning in the South American repub
lics. Senor Verona, on the other hand, says
he thinks there are a sufficient number or
educated Cubans to act as teachers and
professors, except possibly in laboratory
work. He Intends to carry on the work
on the lines laid down by Senor Barrelro.
The principal feature will be the or
ganization of normal schools and the
elimination of old-fashioned methods of
public instruction.
El Conclllador, a new paper devoted to
the Interests of Spaniards who did not
register, has mado Its appearance, and
says:
"It is not for those who registered to
charge those who did not register with a
lack of patriotism. Those, who dld.xot
register love Spain, In spite of her bad
government, but in Cuba they desire to
work with their brother Cubans for the
absolute Independence of the Island, which
will bo of advantage both to themselves
and to Spain."

Inherit $ 6500 From One of the Orig

Hrnap Gold Mine.
LEWISTON. Idaho, May 4. When the
will of rell Butterworth, one of the orig
inal owners of the Buffalo Hump gold
mine, was read at Grangevllle, it was
found that Miss Laura Berns had been
named as a beneficiary. She received
$6500, or one-half the fortune of the miner.
Miss Berns is a woman with quite a his
tory, although she was singularly reti
cent about her past. Though she re
mained in Lewlston nearly seven years,
her most intimate friends knew nothing
about her.
When the telephone line was built Into
Lewlston, in the fall of 1S93, Miss Berns
was sent from Palou&e City as an op
erator. Nobody knew that she was onco
the wife of Dr. George Clark, of Palouse
City, and had obtained a divorce, assum
ing again her maiden name. From 1S93
until she went 4o Portland, a few weeks
ago, she was the manager of the Lewis
ton telephone office. From her meager
salary she saved money and bought prop
erty both in Lewlston and Vlneland. In
the latter place she built a comfortable
residence and raised thoroughbred chick
ens, making a home for her aged father.
She belonged to the Salvation Army,
and- sold War Cries on the streets. But
