Juno 21. 188S. W. II. BYAUS -CLAKE It. IKVINE Editor Manngcr. ACOIDKNTAT ailC.VTNBlS. It 1h n trite saying that limny vnl uiiblo discoveries have resulted from mero nceident. The history of the arts and sciences has demonstrated tho truth of the proposition. Eut did it over strike tho reader that a similar remark will apply with equal force to tho literature? Tho biog raphies of scores of noted' authors show that the creation of their' no blest works Was duo to some- ttlfllng nlranniHtiitipp. ' ' A sudden impulse, an idea, an in spiration If you ehooso to call lt( that may have Intel Its origin in an acci dent but'for Which tho world would have remained Ignorant of tho 'gen ius, uay oven of tho exlstcilco of some man of marvelous literary ability. Sir Roger Achsam wa in duced to write "The Schoolmaster," tho wi-rk on which his fiunochielly rests, by a friend who heard him de nounce, In Vigorous terms, tho'prac' tico of Hogging in school. Cowley becamo a poet by accident; ho got hold of n copy of Spenser's "Faery Queon," when but a boy, and so deeply was ho impressed with its beauties that ho made poetry a study and finally dedicated himself whol ly to the muses. Bimiccspoar'B wild ways wnen a youth brought him into disgrace in his town, causing him to abandon his t ratio of wool carding and to Join a company of players. This acci dent made him llrst an actor ami next a writer of plays. A sonteneo uttered by Molieso's grandfather led tho young man to turn from a life of dissipation and prepaio for tho stage. The grand father was fond of plays and often wont to seo thorn In company with Ids grandson. Molieru's father did not Mm tills, and angrily asked if his sou wan to bo mado an actor. "Would to heaven," returned tho man "that ho wero as good mi actor as Montrose." Tho youth was struuk by these winds; ho became dissatisfied with his trade and left It, and as a result became a renown ed actor and playwright. Instances llko theso may bo mul tiplied indellnitcly; In fact tho his tory of men of letters aoounds In thorn, and one who retlects on the .subject at all cannot fail to como to tho conclusion that poets, philoso pliers and historians, as well as In ventors, lmvo frequently been start ed on tho road to fame by accident. Johnson dellned genius as "a mind of geiieral powers accidentally de termined by some particular direc tion" a ilellnltlon which very few In these daystwould pronounce ab solutely acouraUi and yet It-contains a truth, if not tho whole truth. Tho great philosopher regarded tho mission of the' au thorns tin humble one. "'IV talk in private, to think' in solitude, to inquire or to answer Inquiries Is the business of the schol ar. Ho wanders about through the world without pomp or terror, and U neither kiiowu iter valued but by men llko himself." Milton hnd a grander conception of "that lasting fame ami iwrpotuItyofpraUo which Clod nml ,good men lmvo consvmtod shall Ik the reward of thoso 'whoso published labors advanced tho good of ui.iuklud," To make a grout name Is a task more dllhVult than to accum ulate ti groat fortune. Young author who Hnd it difficult to nwure publishers for their works, should not let this fret or disooumge thorn, nir nmny of tho most colo- brated writers met with the same obstacle at thoTnitsetuf their ytoN nry cartvr. - Wlwu Hterne finished "Tristram Shandy" he offered It to a publisher for 50, but the offer was declined. Tho sermon In that eccentric work had been published years before, but It fouhd Neither pirrcbiiserf nor readers. 'BuV when at htstrties'ucceellea'in getting "Tris tram Shandy" '"before the people it met with sucha reception that till his writings wero collected and publish ed, when, of course they had a ready sale. Gray's first published verses attracted no attention. Miltori'rc- celved 5 for "Paradise Lost," with the promiso of tho samo sum as soon as 1300 conies had been sold. He received two additional payments be fore his death and his widow one after that event, and fourteen years after tho first publication of the wbrk the publisher secured full pos session of It on payment of 8. Dan iel DeFoo was tin author of estab lished reputation when he wrote "Robinson Crusoe," vet tho manu script of tho tale went tho rounds of the publishers', but no one would print it. Finally terms wero ar ranged with a bookseller, who agreed to bring out tho work as a specula tive enterprise. He made over 1,000 guineas out of tho Job, but what the author got Is uncertain.

A railroad man told a reporter the other day the following Incident of travel on the O. & C. railroad : "I was coming from Portland la9t week," said he, "when I became ac quainted in a Pullman car with a tourist from New York. ' Ho had been up in Minnesota. I was tak ing1 a lunch' on the1 train, and I in vited him to cat With nle. 'He seemed very glad of the cha'nee.

'Tho fact is', 'he continued, 'that's ovcry cetit I've got about me. A nice way,t6 travel, ain't it and In a Pullman car," too?' 1 asked him how it happeued,' and he told nie lie had struck a card sharp oil the road. 'I played just $250 Wortli of poker with th'atfcllo'w,' said he, 'and I've only these three hicltles left. Bud busincssi."" Tim llaby Crop. Tho statement was recently pub lished that a 'woman at Corslcana, Tex., had given birth tosix children, and it was followed by the news from Mllbury, Mass., that Mrs. Frank de Grooto of that place hud given birth to four girl babies. The last state ment was true, 'and Dr. Slocumb, who assisted the little girls into the world, wanted to know more about the Texas sextet.
