Mih PttDIIiher.
To ttV Editor of the Spectator.
Sib; I.only venture to intrude upon
yea because I come, iu some sense, in
tbu interest of public morality, and tins
makes my mission roipeo table. Mr.
John Camden Hotten, of London, buB,
of his own individual motion, ropub
lished several of my books in England.
I do not protost againBt tbis, for there is
no law that could give effect to the pro?
test; and, besides, publishers are not ac?
countable to the laws of heaven or earih
in any oountry, as I understand it. But
my little grievance is this: My books are
bad enough just as they are written; then
what must they be after John Camden
Hotten has composed half a dozen chap?
ters and added the same to thorn? I
fed that all true hearts will bleed for an
author whoso volume* have fulleu under
such a dispensation as tbis.
If a friend of yours, or c'ven you
yourself, were to write a book and send
it adrift among the people, with the
gravest apprehensions that it was not up
to what it ought to be, intellectually,
how would you like to have John Cam?
den Hotten sit down and stimulate his
powers and droll two or three origiual
chapters on the eud of that buok?
Would not the world seem cold and hol?
low to you? Would you not feel that
you wanted to dicaud heat rest? Little
the world knows of true sufljriug. Aud
suppose he should entitle these chapters:
"Holiday Literature," "True Story of
Chicago," "On Children," "Train Up n
Child, and Away he Ooes," and "Ven?
geance," and then on the strength of ?
having evolvex these marvels from bin I
own consciousness, go and "copyright"
the entire book, and put in the title page
a picture of a man with his hand iu an?
other mau's pocket, and the legend "All
Bights Reserved." (I only suppose the
picture, still it would be a rather neat
thing.)
And, further, suppose that iu the
kindness of his heart aud the exuberance
of his untaught fancy, tbis thoroughly
well-meaning innocent should expunge
the modest title which you had given
your book, and replace it with so foul an
invention as this, "Screamers and Eye
openers," and went and got that copy?
righted, too. And suppose that, ou top
of all this, he continually and peisist
eutly forgot to offer you a single penny
or oven send you a copy of your mu?
tilated book to barn. Let us suppose all
this. Let him suppose it with strength
enough, and theu he will know some?
thing about wo*. Sometime.-! when I
read one of those additional chapters
constructed by John Camden Hotten, I
feel as if I wanted to take a broom
straw and knock that man's brains out.
Not in anger, for I feel noue. Oh! not
in anger; but only to see, that is all.
Merely idle cariosity.
And Mr. Hotten says that one nom de
plume of mine is "Carl Byng." I hold
that there is no affliction in this world
that makes a man feel so down-trodden
and abused as the giving him a name
that does not belong to him. How would
this sinful aborigine feel, if I were to
call him John Camden Hottentot, and
oome out in the papers and say he was
entitled to it by Divine right? I do
honestly believe it would throw him
into a brain fever, if there were not an
insuperable obstacle iu the way.
Yes?to oome back to the origiual sub?
ject, which is the sorrow that is slowly,
but surely, underminiug my health?Mr.
Hotten prints uurevised, uncorreoted,
aud, in some respects, spurious books,
with my name to them as author, and
thus embitters his customers against one
oi iiio most iuUuceuL %jl lli?D. Mo?S~5.
George Rutledge & S-ms are the ouly
English publishers who pay meauy copy?
right, and, therefore, if my books are to
disseminate either sull'eriug or crime
among readers of our language, I would
ever so much rather they did it through
that house, aud then I could contem?
plate tho spectacle calmly as the divi?
dends came in. I am, sir, etc.,

side of fifty, widower with live children j
?full of fan and frolic, ever ready for a |

other evening, by a miss of live and
twenty, for not taking a wife. She
argued that ho was halo and hearty, aud
deserved a matrimonial mes?-mate. The
judgo acknowledged the fact, admitted
that he was convinced by the eloquence of
his fair friend that he bad thus tar been
remis3, expressed contrition for the fault
confessed, and ended with offering him?
self to the lndj', telling bor that she
could not reject him after pointing out
his heinous offence. Tho lady replied
that sho would bo most happy to take

becomo bone of his bone and flesh of

'. The Oonditionof Marshal Bazaine.
A Paris correspondent of the London
Daily' News says tbat Marshal Bazaine's
health is so precarious that his friends
think he will die before his indictment
can be drawn up. Should he live long
enough to be brought to judgment, they
fear the worst that can happen to a sol?
dier will befall him. Ho is strongly and
vigilantly guarded by an officer almost
personally hostile to him, who says if he
escapes coming to trial, it will not be
through any fault of his. Marshal Ba?
zaine's ill health is aggravated by a ner?
vous terror of committing himself in his
answers to the General charged with his
"instruction." His counsel haB accused
him of not being able to open his mouth
without making a blunder. Gcucrnl
Riviere, the corrospondent learns, is
amazed at tho want of aoutoueBs which
the Marshal has shown. Ho never
seems to perceive the drift of a ques?
tion, and falls headlong into any pitfall
which the prosecution may lay for him.
The fitful outbreaks on tho part of the

Surtrisb Partus?Those sarpriae
parties, somehow, nearly all turn oat
unpleasantly. They tell about one. that
oame off up in Connecticut, recently,
which was not h&lf as joyous as a well
conducted funeral. It was reported of a
man and his wife, who hare been mar
ried many years without having any
obildren, that they had at last been made
happy by the birth of a daughter. Some
of their friends determined to give the
man a presentation surprise party. So
about forty persons marched up to the
house, one evening, carrying a crad)
and lota of gum-rings, and bibs, an %
bottles with gum nozzles, and a bab
carriage, and some little night-gowns,
and a coral armlet, and a gross of sooth?
ing syrup, and socks and paregoric. And
they all burst into the parlor at onco on
tip-toe. And when the man, in amaze?
ment, asked them what thoy meant by
such conduct, they said they were coming
iu so quietly bo as not to wake the biby.
Then ho blnshed and stammered, and
asked, "What baby ?" They said his baby,
and began io hand him tue things, and
to load him up with soothing-Byrnp and
gum rings, until he got mad and floored
one of the guests with a quart bottle of
paregorio, and held him down until ho
explained. And then it was revealed
that it was all a mistake about that little
daughter; that no euch arrival had taken
place at all, and that the report was
false. And then the surprise party was
a great deal more surprised thau the
man wns; and the guests gathered up
that infant furniture, and tried to pre
teud to the man that they never thought
he had a daughter, but that they under?
stood he accepted a position as a director
of an orphan asylum, and that they had
brought around a few things for him to
distribute among the poor, fatherless
children. The man said it was singu?
larly thin, and then the company went
home.?Alax Acieler.
The St. Louis nose is usually of the
nast.p-h.oro order of architecture, but
there are many noses in the Missouri
metropolis that vie in symmetry with the
policeman's olub, and the long, round
wine bottle of the period. A respectable
minority of St. Louis noses are of the
agricultural or plow-share type, and
these are often seen about her news?
paper offiaes. The high-minded Hard
iug, of the Democrat, carries a proboscis
of the plow-share order. On Fourth
street the display of nasal protuberance
approaches the awful, and could be seen
