Club Banquet.
[New York Letter]
I was at a Lotus club dinner recently, and
a pretty wellknown journalist, being called.
on for “a speech! a speech 1” after the up-
roarious habit of that‘ intellectual circus,
rose and told a story: “It might be called,”
said he. with a sly look at the head Of the
table, where sat; in presidential majesty, a
rather cOlpulcnt, slightly bald, middle aged
man’ “It might be called ‘HowI got into
a magazine.”’- Then he changed on the
other foOf, blushed slightly, leaned on his‘
fork, and said: .
“I had an article-once which I thought
would make six- pages in a magazine—if it
got a'ohance. I concluded to give The
Atlantic Monthly thebenefit of it, because
that was a superb creation of the human
intellect and ought to be encouraged.
[Smiles and raps on the table] Isent it to
that periodical, saying that it was my maiden
effort, and asking the editor to send me the
$100 'by draft or money order. In three
"weeks it came back, to my utter amazc-
ment, with the ptinfed notice» that it was
cxcellent.but not exactly adapted, etc. I
saw that the editor of The Atlantic wasa
fool. [Cheers nround'the table and cries
of satirical approval.] I sent it to another
well-known magazine, oflering'it for $50.
It came back in two months, just whenI
was looking for it to appear. That maga-
zine, too, was evidently a failure! Ithcn
sent it (price $15) to a first-class weekly,
that printed just sueh things as .my sketch,
‘Mary Wanley’s Guide,’ but not half as well
written. [Cheers and encouraging remarks]
Again it was sent back. [Laughton] I
could not believe that our periodical liter-
ature was deCaying so fast. I offered it-to
another journalist for nothing, telling him
that I was a beginner, that this was the
first effort of the sort I had ever offered to
anybody, and I watched his face as be ex-
aminedit suspiciously, and finally returned
it to me, saying that the style was faulty;
the idea was good, though it might have
been used heretofore; but with study and
careful practice I would make, perhaps, in
time, etc. [Laughton]
er amid the roars of the company, and,
leaning'on the chair with his other hand
he went on: “Something heroic must be
done? Two years had passed. It was now
1871. I resolved to storm the citadel. I
borrowed my brother’s sealskin overcoat, so
as too look as imposing as possible, and
struck for an illustrated magazine I had
not tried; one of the finest works Of art
in the world. The doorkceper stood briskly
aside, whose name I did not then know. I
was speedily ushered ' into the presence of a
young man, who asked me to be seated, and
inquired my business. ‘To see the editor.’
He would examine my manuscupt, ‘Very
well,’ I said, standing, ‘I must have an an-
swer in fifteen minutes, 'as I leave on the
next train for Boston.’ He parleyed, :but
I was severe and taciturn, and reached for
the manuscript, which he had taken. ‘I
will see Mr.——',’ said be, limiting the
editor himself. The latter appeared. ‘We
will send this to you by mail,’ said be, ‘if
it is not used.’ ‘I can leave it with you
only fifteen minutes.’ I replied. He look-
ed surprised aud glanced at the title. ‘You
ed. ‘NO,’ I rejoined resolutely, ‘I have
other uses for it.’ In that I suppose he
scented the opposition house, for he took
of his overcoat (he was just going home)
and said : ‘I will look it over now.’ [Cheers
around the table]
“He was a fine looking man as he sat
therein the dying twili ght—{Cries of ‘011 l’
‘Ah!']—-—a rather corpulent, slightly-bald,
middle-aged man (at this the company turn-
cd‘toward the presiding Ofiicer, who'was
as red as a boiled lobster, and then they
'roared with glee), and he looked up :in ten
minutes, and said, ‘I will take this ;
‘Mr. Oliver, please make outa'cbeck for $503
‘What ‘r" I asked, $50? my price is $125 ’
‘Ab 1’ said be, passing the manuscript to
me, ‘it is more than we ever pay anybody,

Mr.| Oliver made out my check. [Cheers
and roars of laughter. The man at the
head of the table had turned a sort Of' indigo
blue]
“The worst of it is, or the best of it," said
the narrator,',“lhat I have not seen or heard
of that sketch during all these seven years.”
The Lotus Club hall rang with cheers and
laughter, for his manner of telling the story
was indescribably droll, and then all par.
ties, turned toward the presiding Officer
who was recognized as the hero of the nar-
rative.
He rose slowly-to his feet; the blue went
out of his face, and even the scarlet turned
to the rosy flush which is habitual to it, and
he smiled cheerfully by the time the cheers
and guffaws which greeted him bud slit-d
away.
“The fact is," be ill-gun d pit-culingly,‘ :lnd
_tllen there was another gi‘tcu mar of laught-
er: “yes; I well remember the circumstance.
l alcbepted the sketch to keep the writer
from inflicting it on some weaker magazine.
[Loud laughter.] Our house is rich. I can
afford to stand in the breach. If it. were
not for the work we do in buying articles
capable of inj ury,the mortality among maga-
zines would be incalculable. [L lughter and
cheers] Yes, gentlemen, when a person
with a fiighty temperament comei in—[laugh-
ter,]-—we exert every nerve to get possession
of his manuscript to prevent the desolation
that might otherwise ensue. ' [Cheers and
jinglin‘g of glasses] Such an article might
fall into' the hands Of men who would in—
advertently print it. [Cheers and cries of
‘Hear! hear!’] We lock it up in astrong
safe.” . i
The company led by the jOurnalist, who
blushed again at his awkward position, then
drank to the sagacious magazine, while the
editor went on seriously to say that he had
eight immense fire-prOOf safes full of stories
and other manuscripts that had been bought
and paid for, some of the matter extending'
back many years. “If nobody sltould write
a word for the body of our magazine for the
next ten years.” he said, ‘fit would appear
regularly every month, and doubt I if it's
quality would be at all impaired.” Then
Julius Henri Brown told amusing stories
of his magazine experience and alleged
that the Harpers still had unpublished stories
of his, paid for eight years ago.

The Strange Hlatory of Alvin
Harrison.
—
[Oswego (Kan) Correspondent
. - poll's Sentinel.
There died one day last week,~ in this
vicinity, an aged and-eccentric man named
Alvin Harrison. He was about seventy-
three years of age, and was a cousin of ex.
President Harrison. ~ In 1840 he was a
promising young lawyer of Ross county,
Ohio, and stamped the state'in the interest
of his cousin, "Old Tippecanoe.” Several
years thereafter he quit the practice of law
and took up the study of medicine, Later
on he become engaged to a young lady, and
at, last the happy day was fixed for the
celebrati'on of this marriage. . But before
the arrival of the eventful day the yOung
lady sloped with a stage driver, leaving
Mr. Harrison to mourn her sudden and an-
expected departure. This incident sodis-
gusted Mr. Harrison with the fickleness of
human nature and civilization in general
that he turned his back upon the wofld,
prefering a home in the trackless wilderness
and barren prairies to one in the busy haunts
of refined life. Some fourteoen years 130 he
built a log cabin and talk up. his abode in
1he Neosho bottom,, some three miles from
town. His nearest neighbor at that time
was miles away. He lived alone, and
subsistcd .on a scanty and unwholesome
diet of spoiled bacon. - The cabin was open
and uncomfortable, while he- was content
withaaimple pallet of straw. He drove a
team, poor, bony, and dilapidated ashim-
self, half starved and clothed in rope and
string harness. He had an intelligent ex-
pression of countenance, but went about
scarcely clad in rags and patches- of the
coarser fabrics;'yet in the midst of filth
and rags he was recognized as a man of
above average sense and educational culture
which always brought him respectful
deference from all. It is said that aside
from his property here, which consists
of 320 acres of good land and some personal
property, he 'owned valuable property in
Ohio. Some years since his brothers came
to see him and endeavored to get him to
'tbandon his isolated existence, but all in
vain, for he remained alone till the last.
When it was found that he’was sick the
rind neighbors flocked in and did. all in
aheir power to alleviate his safi‘erings.‘ but
all of noIavail. After this death a box con-
taining silver and bank notem‘deed'a, mort-
rages, etc. was found and is new in the
mods of responsible parties, Quite a num-
oer of standard works on medicine and law
were also found. Among his effects was a
etter, purporting to be from his niece, di-
nected to him at Iola and dated 1865. In it
levers] familyInsmes are mentioned which
may serve as a deb; to the whereabouts of
his relatives that are living. . .

By 8 o’clock the hall .was filled with a
surging crowd. They Overflowed "On the

of Police Campbell was present-with a force

walking with feverish‘hsste', 5making each
quarter in less than four minutes. 9A man
walked in front, while two trailed behind" ‘ to
us that nothing was thrown on' the track.
Elrly in the morning many large bent pins
were found scattered on' the track at the end
near the bar.room. Fortunately she was not
walking in her old shoes, or she might have
been disabled.
Each round after 8 o’clock was made amid
tumultuous yells and cheers. At one time
life appeared dressed as the Goddess of
Liberty with a large silk American flag
folded around her pérson, - In her right hand
she carried a small English flag, and» in the
left the Stars and Stripes.‘ T The‘fiag’e'nvelop-
lug her bodykntangled her limbs before she
finished thequsrtet, and she was compelled
to stop on the track and have it rearranged.
There were rumors through. the hall "that
Ooquets saturated with chloroform had:- been
handed to her, and it was so printed in an
svenin'g newspaper, but the rumors’were
false. - , .
At 9 o‘clock the crash was dangerous, and
the police ordered the sale Of tickets to be
copped. In a hall built to accommodate
800people'over 2,000-_were jammed. The
track was black with ranks of -men three
loop in places. The corners were filled-
- with well dressed men and women, and the
atmosphere was stifling. Nevertheless . the
walking woman darted around with 'fire in
rat eyes and unwonted vigor in her step.
.She fell sound asleep‘a’few minutes before
ten, and on starting on the 2,696th quarter
the had to be lifted from her couch. She
walktd briskly through the‘quarter, however.
Before she finished its woman in the crush
fainted. It was impossible to carry her out.
One of Mrs. Anderson’s’physicians gave her
tmmonia and restored her. On the next
guarter another woman fainted:
On finishing the 2,09S'th quarter mile Mrs.
Anderson pressed through the crowd on the
stage, and made her way to a little ledge
shove the audience. The track was thin so
crowded that it was almost impOssible for
Iuer to get thrbugh... After thanking the
people of Brooklyn for their support and
sympathy, she expressed the" hope thatno
person could be found, either in New York
or Brooklyn, who, for the sake of winning a
is liars, would place any impediment in
the y of finishing the task she had under-
;aken. She then sang her favorite song of
"Nil Desperanddm." , ~ -
On descending to the. track she hurried
over the 2,699th quarter in 3:12}. The
applause was deafening. BefOre starting on
this quarter her pulse was 110. ,
On being summoned for the 2,700th quar-
ter—the last—at 10:45, she bounded from
her room and fairly fiew around the track
with a square heel and toe movement; Two
men ran ahead- of her to keeps pli’thway
ones through the black msss‘of men. Two
followed her to sod that the open line was
not closed. They all had to’ run to keep out
of the woman’s way. The roaring voices in
the hall actually drowned the discordant
blowing of the brass band. When the last
quarter mile was finished, and the time
announced as 2:37%, the fastest mark iduring
her walk, the uproar was siniply'terrific.

on Eighty-sixth street called the lady of the
houseto the door, one day last week, to dis- .
cover a tramp, who, to her great astonish—
ment, pulled OE his but as he said:
“Madame, did a big tramp with one eye
call here today ?"
“Yes—about an hour ago,” she replied.
“His breath smelt Iof oniOns, didn’t it P"
“Yes, terribly.”
“And he asked for mince pie and cold beef
tongue, did'nt he ?" .
“Yes, he did. I never saw a more impu-
dent fellow. ”‘
“Well, madame, I am following him
around to tell the people just what sort of a
fellow he is. Don’t you give him a mouth-
ful—not even a drink of water.”
“But you look like a tramp, too,” she
observed.” ' ‘
“Well, I is one, ma'am, but I don't eat
onions, and I never ask for mince pie. , All I
wants is a slice of bread with a bone on, and
if they' dips the bone in vinegar 'first so
much the better. Those of us who sleep in
