"Those instances of Mr. Vander

continue t Dr. Deems: "he did not
care to L ive them spoken of, but I
know of 'nindreds of people whom
he has aided generously and un
asked. Here is an instance: I
have iust received this morning a
letter ft' m Dr K P Battle, the pres
ident bt the University of North
Carolina, at Chapel Hill, near Ral-
eieh. There are seventy young
meri in ''that university to
dav who are 'receivine the benefit
of Mr. William's kind and Christian
generosity. Dr. Battle writes me
that one, the Rev. R. T. Bryant, has
just sailed as a Baptist missionary
for China. I had started a small
fund, fcw the purpose of loaning
voting men sufficient money to ed
ncae themselves. The money is
afterward repaid as they are able to
return it.- This is known in the
rmiversitv as the Deems Fund and
mv rmrDose was to make it a me
inorial to mv son. who was killed
in the war, in North Carolina. It
was but a little fund. One day Mr.

Mr.-Henry W. Grady, editor of The
Atlanta Coustitution, who is visiting New

gave the following account of the circum

mus:" "L'ncle Tenuis, " our other humorous
writer, was a freckled-faced, red headed
printer's devil in a country optica He
was the consummation of homeliness and
very small in stature. - He could not
reach up to the case to set typo and had
to elevate himself on a box. Now and
then a quaint piece of humor would ap
pear in the paper. It was finally discov
ered by the editor that the little devil,
Harris, ' was the author, and instead of
writing it. just set it up in type. - The
true quality of the humor attracted The
Savannah News, and he was employed by
that paper and then by The Constitution
where he is now.
When he went to work on the lattei
paper Old Si was the funny writer. He
was "o$ " and was unable to contribute
his usual stu J. We. put Harris to writ
ing for him. and not t hurt Mr. Small's
feelings he took the uama of Uncle Ke
mus. b mall's humor was of a political and
local nature; Harris dealt with the negro
folk lora Very soon Harris' writings
were copied everywhere. He received of
fers to write stories for magazines and
periodicals The first he wrote was
Mingo. " it was illustrated Dy Aooey
and published in " Harper's Christmas. "
The price paid f r it was 400.
A tunny incident occurred in connec
tion with ibis story. . Harry came to New
1 ork to talk t; Air. Abbey about the il
lustrations. Now. Harris cis the most
timid of men. They concluded to give
him a social spread He attended, but
before thev sat down he said he wanted

The total circulation of the vernacular

It is asserted that the number of sheep
