The Trails of Authorship

At the last annual dinner of the Society of Authors m London, Mr Leslie Etaphens, who has edited various works, set forth at some length the daily troubles of an editor and the hardship* I of literature. He said he remembered ft long time ago receiving a frank con fession from a young gentleman who had written a tragedy m five acts upon a subject which he had discovered m the course of his researches into history. He believed it was Mary Queen of Scots (he might mention that he was not referring to Lord Tenny son)—(laughter)—and when he declined to publish this tragedy m the next number of the magazine which he was then editing, the author informed him that his refusal was due to a base iealousy, which was not surprising, as his own attempts to rival Shakespere had never got into print. (Loud Jaugh j ter). The author added that there was noting to be ashamed of m this, because his occupation was such as would have deadened any sense of justice or fair play, even m an angel, though there wna no particular reason to believe that his qualities had ever been angelic. (Re newed laughter). Now, they would understand that a class of persons who who was regarded m this way by an unthinking author was apt to see the weakness of authors. He occasionally became aware of their little vanities, of of their self-illusions, of their conviction that they were objects of the demonia cal malignity of a clique of critics. (Laughter). He must add that he would have been a much harder-hearted person than he believed he was if he had not also learnt to see a great deal of the hardships of a literary career, and to sympathise with those who suffered them. He had succeeded to the cushion occupied by Thackeray before him, and he had found that some of the thorns of which Thackeray spoke were still left m it. He had had to read letters from the decayed ladies who had a widowed mother or a small family dependent upon their exertions, and tried to brush up their recollections of French, and expected to make a living by translating from that recon dite language. There was something ridi culous, but a great deal more that was pathetic, m such letters. (Hear, hear). He had had to deal with many of those people who m the last century would ha\e been ridiculed and taunted with their poverty as occupants of Grub street. When he had had to " cut down" the contributions of such gentlemen to one-third the length of what they had sent him he had felt that he was taking a crust from a begger and scraping off the butter.

THE YELLOW AGONY

11 Can a Chinaman be a chemist and druggiat" was the question which came up for decision by Mr. Justice Hodge 3 at Melbourne a i>vr days ago. James Lamb See, a Chinese storekeeper at Heathcote had applied to the Pharmacy Board to be registered as a chemist and druggist, under section 88 of the I Act. On being examined by the Board, he admitted that he could not read either English or Latin, and the Board consequently refused to register him. He then applied to the Supreme Oourt for a mandamus to compel them to do so. Mr Pennefather, m support of the application, contended that the appli cant's inability to read English was not a sufficient ground to justify the Board's refusal under the Act. The Board had no right to submit the appli cant to cross-examination. Mr Isaacs, on behalf of the Board, urged that it would be highly dangerous to the com munity to permit a man who could not read English to make up drugs. His Honor, m giving judgment,said it was difficult to understand how a person who could nofc read English could com pound and dispense the prescriptions made by legally qualified medical practitioners. The Board were the judges of the evidence, and not the Supreme Court; and the Court had no right to review their decision. Some ob servations made by the Board suggested that they might be prejudiced against the applicant, and it was desirable that such a body should abstain from J remarks which could be construed into showing that there was a prejudice against the applicant on account of nationality or from any other cause. The rule for a mandamus would be discharged, without costs.
