THE GREAT MAP OF THE UNITED STATES.

From the New York Sun.

WHEN the map of the United States, now in preparation by the Geological Survey, is completed it will be a most creditable specimen of the topographic art. Congress last winter, for the first time, distinctly recognized the survey which for some years has been in progress as the basis of this map, by making a separate appropriation of $200,000 to carry it on. These surveys, according to the Washington correspondence of the American Geographical Society, have now been completed in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Jersey, and they are partly made in Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Maine, and New Hampshire. The maps now in progress or completed are on a scale of one mile to the inch, and are engraved on copper. The expense of the completed surveys has been shared by the several States and the United States.

It was recently announced that the topographic survey of Illinois and the surrounding States was about to begin. The maps of the central and southern portions of the country and also the Pacific slope will be on a scale of two miles to the inch, while in the thinly settled regions of the Rocky Mountains, the Great Basin, and the high Sierras the scale is four miles to the inch. When this great atlas can be gathered into volumes it will comprise 2600 sheets, and for the first time civil engineers, students, and the general public will be able to derive from these fine specimens of the map-makers' art fairly correct and minute information concerning the hydrography of the country, the relief of its surface, and the exact position of its towns. It is well known that, until recently, some of the chief cities in the interior of our own State were not accurately laid down on the maps, for the simple reason that their exact geographical position had not been determined.

Of course, large parts of this atlas will not be able to compete in completeness and minuteness of detail with such productions as the ordnance map of Great Britain. It would be sheer waste of millions of money to carry out in our vast mountain regions so minute and exact a survey as has been made of the snug little island across the sea. But even the maps on the smallest scale will give sufficient detail for most purposes, and we shall at last possess a good map of our country, which, on the whole, has been misrepresented to a distressing extent by the topographic art.

ous law of attraction, a great variety of curios, works of art, and knick-knacks, I had our friend before me. . . . I made the fictitious person, John Charáxes,' a much greater scholar than Barlow ever was, but Barlow's scholarship was of no mean order. He not only owned a great collection of books in different languages, but he read them, which is not always the case with book-collectors. He read Latin, French.

and Spanish with ease; he understood a little of Italian, but he did not read Greek, nor, I think, German. He read with the rapidity with which he did almost everything, but not superficially; and I have often been astonished at the range and accuracy of his recollection of the contexts of books. I have known many men of extensive reading, and many great scholars; but I certainly never knew a man who was immersed in business, and whose life was spent in practical affairs, whose knowledge of books was to be compared to his."

A LITERARY FRAUD.

From the St. James' Gazette, June x. PROFESSOR MAX MÜLLER is asking for subscriptions on behalf of a rather dubious enterprise. Some little time ago an astute Hindoo bookseller conceived the bold idea of translating the great Sanskrit epic first into his own language and then into English. The Bengalee version is already in print, and the English "Mahabharata" will soon be half finished. Pratap Chandra Roy has been enabled to carry out the scheme by subscriptions from every part of the world. He spends most of his time and energy in getting Max Müller, and in advertising the progress of his work, which is really done by a few hired pundits of no great ability. He himself knows neither Sanskrit nor English. The result is a bald, miserably inadequate travesty of the "Mahabharata," which, for any critical purpose, is worthless, and as a popular version is unreadable. However, Professor Max Müller is not the only eminent man whose sympathies have been enlisted in the enterprise. Pratap Chandra Roy holds certificates of approval from viceroys and lieutenant-governors who know as much Sanskrit as he does himself, and has been made a C. S. I.

$8.50 FOR WRITING A SUCCESSFUL NOVEL.

"JOHN CHARAXES."

THE death of Samuel L. M. Barlow, the noted jurist and member of the law firm of Shipman, Barlow, Larocque & Choate, has brought to light the fact that George Ticknor Curtis, is the author of the novel," John Charáxes," published a couple of months ago by the J. B. Lippincott Co., under the pseudonym of "Peter Boylston." Also that the late Mr. Barlow was in part the original from whom the author drew the character of John Charáxes." Mr. Curtis, writing to the New York Sun, says: "In that part of 'Charáxes'' life and character in which I endeavored to paint a man to whom there gravitated from all parts of the world, by some mysteri

typewriter's bill. I know of two recent novels upon which each of the authors spent the best part of a year in writing and revising. Both novels are, according to the popular acceptance of the term, successful—that is, they have been widely written about, paragraphed in the press from one end of the country to another. English editions have been printed of each, and to every literary person the names of both novels and authors are thoroughly familiar. Now, what have the authors received in hard cash for their year's work? I will tell you exactly: Of one 1700 copies were sold. No royalty was paid upon the first thousand to cover manufacture, etc., and upon the remaining 700 copies the author received the regular ten per cent. The book sold

for one dollar. The net revenue to the author was, therefore, $70. His typewriter's bill was $61.50. Net profit, $8.50, and the book has stopped selling. The other author was a trifle more fortunate in that his novel reached a sale of 2000, all but five copies. Unfortunately, he bought so many copies of his own book for friends, that when the publisher's statement came it showed a credit to his favor of just $39.50. Had he typewritten his manuscript the novel would

have thrown him into debt.

THE IN HAM, CLARKE & CO. FAILURE. WITH surprise and deep regret we receive the news of the assignment of the old and favorably known firm of Ingham, Clarke & Co., of Cleveland, O., and of Ingham & Co., Meadville, Pa. For nearly half a century Mr. W. A. Ingham, the senior partner of this firm, has been connected

with the book business as the head of the firm of W. A. Ingham, Ingham & Bragg, and Ingham, Clarke & Co. During all these years his firm has had a reputation for conservative business methods, and consequently their obligations for goods were usually very small, and their paper, when issued, was always redeemed in full.

Their failure is therefore the more to be deplored that it is owing to unfortunate outside transactions of a trusted partner of twenty years in another concern, who, it is alleged, "improperly used its name for a large amount without the slightest knowledge of either of its members." The use of their name, we are advised, was "so conducted that no member of the firm could have the slightest intimation of it until it suddenly came upon them, compelling them to the only

course left."

The assignment was made to the Hon. R. C. Parsons, of Cincinnati, on June 25, but has only recently become generally known. Mr. W. A. Ingham, now 66 years old, and his son, Mr. H. M. Ingham, comprising the firm of Ingham, Clarke & Co., we understand, have assigned all their property for the benefit of their creditors. It is to be hoped that a compromise will be effected, as the disappearance of this house would be a serious loss to the book trade.

I wanted you to do me a favor." Perhaps I will anyhow. What is it?" "Well, you see, I hit my brother Dick in the nose, and he told ma, and she's going to whale me for it. She sent me to the grocery, and now as soon as I go in I'll catch it." Well?"

"Well, she'll make a grab for me and I'll holler loud enough for you to hear. Then you rush up and ring the bell, and ask her if she don't want to buy Mother, Home, and Heaven.' Keep her at the door three or four minutes and I'll buy Dick off, and she'll forget all about it."

The pedestrian excused himself on the ground that he was in a hurry, and the boy replied:

"All right. Mebbe our minister will happen along, and I'll get him to call. I'm going to dodge that licking if I have to set the barn afire." -Detroit Free Press.

NOTES ON AUTHORS.

LADY COLIN CAMPBELL is writing a novel, which is to appear shortly, entitled "Darell Blake."

A SISTER of the late Maria Mitchell will prepare for the press the "Life and Letters" of the distinguished teacher. Her correspondence is said to be very rich in letters from Herschel, Humboldt, and others.

HENRY F. KEENAN, author of "Trajan," "The Aliens," and other novels of a recent period, and who is as well known in newspaper circles as in the literary world, has lately purchased a farm near Mamaroneck, Westchester County, N. Y., where he expects to spend the remainder of his days.

MRS. MARY MONTGOMERY Singleton (“Violet Fane""), whose new novel, "Helen Davenant," published in America by D. Appleton & Co., has brought her into larger prominence, according to the Boston Traveller, "is the London poet who is caricatured in Mallock's New Republic as Mrs. Sinclair,' and otherwise described 'as a sort of fashionable London Sappho.' verses are rather those of a poseur than a poet, there being in them neither intellectual grasp nor spiritual power, but merely a decorative trick of rhyme and tune, with sentimentality rather than sentiment."

THE author of "Micah Clarke," the historical novel recently published by Longmans, Green & Co., is an English physician who is only thirty years old, and who has been a writer of magazine stories for ten years past. Dr. A. C. Doyle is a tall, athletic young man, who not only attends to cricketer. He has, moreover, seen service on the a good practice and writes novels, but is a famous West African coast and has roughed it in a whaler. artist and illustrator of "The Newcomes." He is a nephew of Richard Doyle, the "Punch"

MR. C. H. LEE, of Leesburg, Va., great grandson of the eminent statesman, Richard Henry Lee, is, according to a correspondent of the N. Y. Evening Post, engaged in writing the memoirs of his illustrious ancestor. Mr. R. H. Lee was the friend of Patrick Henry and in warm concurrence with him in disdain of the acts which led to the War of the Revolution. The Tory party had pronounced him a "political demagogue "--but those on the other side, approving his resistance to oppression, hailed him as the "young reformer." The "Life and Correspondence" of R. H. Lee was published in 1829 by his grandnephew, but the forthcoming work by a direct descendant will probably be fuller and more complete.

LITERARY AND TRADE NOTES. MACMILLAN & Co. will publish in September a revised edition of Bryce's " American Commonwealth." It is said that 10,000 copies of this work have been sold in the United States.

THE London Athenæum says that serious fears are entertained for the safety of Mr. Malcolm Macmillan, son of Mr. Alexander Macmillan, the well-known publisher. Mr. Macmillan, who has been travelling in the East, undertook the ascent of Mount Olympus, and has been lost on the mountain.

THE Galesburg (Ill.) Publishing Co. report that they have been receiving orders from California to Maine for their novel, "The Lost Dispatch." recently issued. The book has taken re

markably well and has received flattering commendation from officers in the army and recoged literary critics.

HENRY HOLT & Co. have in hand a second "History of the United States," the MS. of which was left with them ready for the press by the late Prof. Johnston, of Princeton. It was written on a somewhat similar plan to his already well-known text-book, but suited to a shorter course, and perhaps to less mature minds.

MR. LODGE'S volumes on Washington, recently Dwight's Travels. published in the series of American Statesmen have been warmly praised by many critics, but perhaps the most valued approval is that from the Nestor of American historians, Hon. George Bancroft, who writes to the publishers as follows: "I like your new work on the unique man of the last century exceedingly. It is written independently as well as with a full sense of the unique greatness of Washington. You did your part nobly, and gained honor and a claim to gratitude by publishing so valuable a volume."

THE New Haven Colony Historical Society will publish at once a compilation of the inscriptions in the old Milford graveyard prior to 1800.
