CONCORD, NOV. 21, IB95.
XIIE BBSEDEB OF BAD MORALS,
It seems odd that a man could
make $13,000 a year in New York
by writing fiction, die and remain as
utterly unknown as if he had never
existed. Arthur Elder Nelson was
tuch a man. He did not get eyen a
three-line obituary in any newspaper.
His dealings were mostly with two
Luge NewYork concerns devoted ex
ciuive)y to the manufacture of dime
and half dime novels and his epe
cjialfv ?as thectiou that deals with
piritef, boy highwayman, boy rob
berd Ai olher equally interesting
juytruks. He siarted six years ago,
when be was twentyfiyeyers of age.
Educated and refined (he was an Ox
ford man) he came to this country
feLortly after ataining his majority.
His first effort in the line of blood.
and -thunder narrative was made
during his leisure aa a drug clerk.
His 3recess of his production en
couraged him to perseyere ana for
the list two jears he had worked
steadily. His publishers say that
kis own share of the profits of his
pen last year was $12,000 and he
lived pretty well up to his income.
He spoke four languages and his
wide reading and ripe scholarship
enabled him to wander at will in the
highways of literature, plundering
wherever he saw an opportunity.
Thu3 hh works: were, as a rule, mere
plagiarisms' level. He never aspired
to anything higher. Certainly if he
had wished to be a serious writer bis
income could never have exceeded,
eay, 3,500 a year, even had he at
tamed great yogue. As it was he
kt p t a hoice and carriage and enioy
ed lifq like a syharite, being un-
married and uncontrolled. And not
even his thousands of admirers
scattered through the schoolrooms,
district telegraph offices and street
corners of this republic had any idea
of his personality.
The Raleigh Observer Bays Kal
eigh is not a bit Joo dry, as it has a
saloon for every 555 inhabitants.
Bat Raleigh is a little behind, for
New York has one for every 234 in
habitants; Chicago one for every
212 inhabitants; and religious Bos
ton one for every 500 inhabitants.
Ths feud among the Vanderbilts
his attained so bitter a stage that
the Cornelius Vanderbilts will have
their daughter's wedding strictly
private, and unostentations, simply
to be different from Willie K Van
derbilt's. Therefore, young Miss
Gertrude will be married only in the
presence of her immediate : family.
W K will be invited his wife
never. The only reason Mrs. Van-
derbilt encouraged the tremendous
splurge over the ducal nuptials wis
that she" felt anxiouB to show the
rival Vanderbilts that her family
are the people , of the liouse. .. The
coming marriage bells will not,
therefore, make any great noise.
Cupid alone will; ring them, and
very quietly at that,
The i freshman olass of Vassar,' ac
cording to our contemporary , the
Uptown Visitor, have agreed upon a
class yell of which here are the first
two diyisions:
"Yum, yum, yum,
. We chew gum."
Whether this is a good yell or not
can be left to thejcnticisms of Vassar
gills was proclaim over all the house
tops that they chew gum. Gum, if
chewed at all, should be .chewed in
the privacy of one's own apartments,
and the less said about it the better.
Gum chewing is a vulgar and , un
ladylike habit, New York Snn.

Complete Recovery by the Use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
" Borne yean ago, as a result of too
close attention to - business, my health
failed. I became weak, nervous, was
unable to look after my interests. anfl
manifested all the symptoms of a de
cline. I took:three bottles of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, began to Improve at onoe,
and gradually increased my weight from
one hundred and twenty -five to two f
Biundred pounds. . Since then, I and my
family have used this medicine when
needed, and we are 'all in the best of ,
health, a fact which we attribute to
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I believe my chil ?
