Every writer has his parish. To mine, I need offer no apology forpresenting,
First, a new story which has never before appeared in print;
Secondly, the “hundred-dollar-a-column story,” respecting theremuneration of which, skeptical paragraphists have afforded me so muchamusement. (N. B.—My banker and I can afford to laugh!) This storyhaving been published when “The New York Ledger” was in the dawn of itspresent unprecedented circulation, and never having appeared elsewhere,will, of course, be new to many of my readers;
Thirdly, I offer them my late fugitive pieces, which have often beenrequested, and which, with the other contents of this volume, I hopewill cement still stronger our friendly relations.
