USE OF BANK CHECKS SIMPLE RULES MADE BY THE BUSINES WORLD. Facts Relating to Their Issue, Acceptance and Payment That All People Should Try to Remember—The Many Advantages of the System. Bank checks possess many advantages for the conduct of business, and are used to a product which greatly extends the benefits in nature of orders for the payment of money, and are payable in the order in which they are presented. As given in the usual course of business, they do not constitute payment of the indebtedness for which they are given until paid. Nor will the concurrent receipting of the debts for which they are given change this. If they are not paid on proper presentation, resort may be had to the original claims. The rule is different after payment. So the having of the checks certified constitutes payment as to the persons drawing them. Checks should be dated. If not dated at all, and they do not contain any statement as to when they are to be paid, they are never payable. They may be ante or postdated, as well as on the day of delivery. Ay being antedated they may be made to cover prior transactions, and in a measure determine the relative rights of the parties to them. Postdating in the main determines the date of payment. When postdated so as to fall due on Sunday, they are payable on the following Monday. Checks postdated or maturing on legal holidays should be presented the day following. When postdated checks are paid before the date of delivery, the paid them may be recovered. If blanks are left for the date, the holders of checks are thereby authorized to insert the true dates of delivery, but no other dates, and if they insert any other date it makes the checks void. Changing the date of checks will do the same. The presumption is that when checks are given funds will be provided at the banks on which they are drawn to meet them, but presentation for payment must be made within a reasonable time. If not so presented the holders will be charged with any consequent loss. When persons receiving checks and the banks on which they are drawn present the same place, they should be presented the day after they are received. After duly presenting the checks, it is also the duty of the holder, if they are not paid, to notify the drawers before the close of the next secular day following the presentation and dishonor. No particular form of notice is required. It may be written or verbal. The principal case in which losses occur from failure to use due diligence in the collection of checks is where the drawer fails in the meantime. If the banks continue solvent the drawers will remain liable to pay their checks for months at least after they are drawn. Presentations and notice of dishonor will also be dispensed with where there are no funds to pay checks, and where the banks on which they are drawn suspend payment before they can be presented, using proper diligence. After receiving checks, they must be presented for payment, unless such presentation would be useless before the original claims can be sued on, for, by accepting checks, there is an implied agreement to use that method of procuring the money for which they are drawn. When checks are negotiable and pass by order or delivery, the same degree of diligence will be required of each person to whom they are indorsed, in order to hold those indorsing them as is required of original payees to hold original drawers of checks. But by putting checks in circulation the liability of the drawers cannot be prolonged. They must be presented within the same time by indorsees as by payees—National Banker. English Monarch Not a Lover of Statty Music. King Edward has given order for the disbandment of his private band, one of the ancient features of his court. In its present form it was established by Charles II, and some authorities assert that a "state" band existed in the days of Queen Elizabeth. It is composed of thirty-four musicians, under the direction of Sir Walter Parratt, "master of the music". Its members are the best that can be secured in England, and this is the real cause of its dissolution. Unlike his mother, King Edward does not care much for state concerts by his own musicians, and since his accession the duties of the band have been confined chiefly to the playing of light music, including ragtime, during royal dinners. This they regard as undignified and the king regards as extravagant. The same music can be played as well by fewer and less notable musicians. Must Have Had Lively Conscience. When the Great Western railway of England was built the line encroached upon the estates of Lord Taunton and his lorship was awarded $160,000 as compensation. The money was paid and many years afterward the railway company was astonished one morning to find in its post bag a letter from Lord Taunton including a check for $150,000 and explaining that, as the railroad had done him good instead of arm, he had no right to keep the money or any part of it. QUICK TIME IN POCKET-PICKING. Incident of the Bowyer Which Is Both Strange and True. This occurrence, improbable as it may seem, actually happened in this city. A certain large pawnbrokerage house which has a number of separate places of business employs an expert accountant to examine its accounts once a month. The accountant has a fine gold repeater and stop watch which was given to him by his father and for that reason is valued by him at even more than its intrinsic value. The accountant, who lives in Brooklyn, went to the pawnbroker's the other day from his home. He crossed the 10th street ferry and reached the Bowery on a cross-town car, walking the rest of the distance to the store. Instead of passing through the private hall to the rear office, as he does usually, he entered the section where the loans are made. As he passed through the door he encountered a young man who was rushing out in such a hurry that he almost knocked down the accountant. Behind the accountant of the clerk was running and holding something in his hand. "What's the joke?" the accountant asked him. "Why," answered the clerk, "that fellow who just rushed out wanted $10 on this watch. He said he had bought it for $40. The watch is worth $250 so I told him to wait a minute until I could call up the police and find out where he had got it for that insignificant sum. You saw how he waited. "Me see me that watch," said the accountant. He looked, then clapped his hand on his watch pocket. The pocket was empty. "That's my watch," he said, and opening the case showed to the clerk, no less surprised than was the accountant, the inscription his father had engraved on the inside cover. The thief had picked his pocket probably in the crowded little car, and had rushed to the pawnbroker's beating him there by only a minute or two—New York Sun. THE MAN AND THE BOX One Place Where Man Is Not in His Element. Here is a box. In itself it is not remarkable. But a man is packing it. When man, unmarried man, packs a box, women weep. See the man! He is not calm. His hair resembles a storm-swept wheatfield. He wears no coat, and his collar has playfully broken away from the shirt-stitched. Upon his perspiring coat, too, the plowman used to habitually wear when he called upon his neighbors. The man has observed his sister pack boxes. Everything fitted in so nicely that the microbes cried out that they were being suffocated, but he cannot make out how she did it. He thrusts his hands into his pockets and makes a few remarks. But they are for the box and not for publication. At last all is over but the closing exercise, and the man mounts on to the chair. He leaps upon it with both feet, and pounds and jams it. But between the hasp and the slot there is a great gulf fixed, measuring one-sixteenth of an inch. At last! A click! The man steps majestically from off the lid with the tush of victory upon him, and no one else can see him and a pair of socks under the bed. A NEGRO QUEEN'S NERVES Disease of Civilization Finds Its Way Into Abhysinia. Civilization is making way in Abyssinia. The latest innovation is—nerves, says the London Telegraph. These have been developed in Queen Taitu to a quite alarming extent, and, when King Menelik complains, she retorts that he is all for civilization, and now he has got it she hopes he likes it. "All European women," she is reported to have said, "have nerves. If they want anything they give way to nerves; if they want anything what it ought to be, it is nerves; if they murder their husbands or run away with another man it is excused because they were afflicted with nerves." The latest exhibition of the nerves of the black queen was induced by the inauguration of the new railway. The Emperor announced his intention of going, and had all his best clothes brought out, including his closest umbrella, when he was arrested in the midst of his preparations by his consort, who declares he is a monarch. To the Emperor agreed, knowing that she suddenly gave a shriek and went into hysterics. It then traipired that she had no new gown, and the Negus had to telegraph to Paris at once. The Midnight Hour. The world is sleeping, but I walkie land and watch the moonsbeams creep across the floor; I imore the clock proclaim, "No more— no more" Will time return when once it passes by," Yet I impatient wait the lagging day. And calm to all—ease hour with busy care. Too slow the moments pass, too slow Faint light or dawn is moving on its way. Yet in some coming night, how far, how near, I cannot tell—it surely waits for me— momentous moments I should find more dear. Than rain to mariners adrift at sea; For shall watch and wait the breaking Knowing that I, with night, shall pass away. THE APPEAL. THAR SHE BLOWS AND HOW "SHE GELTS IT" NEARING THE END OF THE FIGHT not joy. The chauffeur in a racing automobile is in a paradise of ease and relaxation compared with him. BIBLE, WRITTEN BY HAND, A WORK OF ART So many American whalers are going to seek the big "fish" in the Baftin Bay waters this season that the Canadian government has decided to charter a sealing steamer to cruise there to prevent the Yankee from "violating Canadian custom laws." It looks as if the "prostrated American industry" were about to awaken to something akin to vigor. Years of more or less desultory whaling have given the sea giants a chance to recuperate, and that they were not guilty of race suicide during their time of rest is proved by the fact that whales are plentiful in all the seas again. For a rich American, eager to try real sport there is a great chance now. Whaling, one of the oldest forms of big game hunting, is the one field which has not been fittingly exploited by the amateur sportsman. In a time when lion and tiger shooting are mere routine sporting affairs to hundreds of wealthy men, the whale should appeal with great force. Few landsmen ever have the opportunity to participate in the sport. When a whaleabate lowers to fight a sixty-foot whale the business is too important to incumber the craft with unskilled passengers. And not many landsmen would really care to go into the whaleabate even if they were when they behead, whaleheads in the sea, the huge threat is to be attacked. The ride begins after the whale has been harpooned and when the boatheader considers it time to draw up alongside and begin lancing. The first thing that is done is to haul in upon the harpion line until the boat is brought as close to the running whale as is consistent with the extremely delicate margin that the whaler allows for safety. "Safety" to the whaler really means to remain just about an inch or two beyond the reach of the vast fukes with which the big beast is hunting. He hauled as far up on the whale as possible the boatheader BIBLE, WRITT The Song of Solomon Chapter 1 ME. King of mony, which is Solomon. 2. Let him there meet with the house of his month, for they have to deliver these men. 3.

This King health brought him into this house, we will be glad and repent of our sins; our will commends the King more than those whose spring has thawed. It is strange to think that the actors in the inferno scenes in "Dante," which Sir Henry Irving has produced in London, suffer principally from cold. The fire is a wonderful illusion, and the method by which it is produced makes the stage of Drury Lane theater very drafty. Many of the actors caught cold during the rehearsals, and the sufferers on the stage have been heard to sneeze in their fury graves. Prizes for Best-Kept Lawns. Mayor Hiram M. Summers of Ottawa, O. has published a notice offering a number of prizes to the persons who will maintain the best-kep gardens and lawns in the town this summer. Already a number of citizens have registered their names as contestants. A committee will tour the city three times and from the result of their observation the prizes will be varied. reaches over the bows and lifts the line out of the chocks. Swiftly he brings it around outside of the boat and passes it to the bow carman, who has faced around on his thwart so that he looks forward. He at once lays back on the line and hooks with all his might. And immediately the dog, dragged like a railroad car by that might living locomotive, begins to run parallel with the side of the whale and just a few feet away from him, being prevented from running right on top of him by the oblique strain of the line. Now, if the harpoon is well forward in the whale, the boat hangs in a precarious but sufficiently are of safety, for the swimmer can be seen behind it and the wildly sweeping jaw unavailably searches the sea in front. The boatheader braces himself in the until he is but firmly as the stempest, and begins to pulse his long, green, razor-edges killing lance, waiting for his opportunity to thrust it into the whale's "life." Sometimes the opportunity comes within a minute after hauling up on the big "fish." Sometimes it does not come until the boat has been towed for many miles. It does not require much time to tow a mile when a sixty-foot whale is doing the towing. As long as the whale runs in a fairly straight course the boat will hang to him like a terrifier. He may champ and bite and hammer the oceanic acres of froth with head and fukes and never shake it off. His chance for retaliation is to run or to "mill." "Milling" is the act of turning suddenly, and so bring the boat within reach of fukes or jaws. The position of the bow carsman is TEN BY HAND, A WO 3 I am black, but comely.

Naval Band a Poor One. Rear Admiral Rodgers, new commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, is not at all pleased with the band that has been sent him from Washington. The leader and all of them are Italians and none of them knows a word of English. Exasperating actions are made during the marching exercises of the marines, while the playing at all times is very bad. The pay in the band service of the navy is so low that American musicians will not enlist, so most of the recruiting is done at European stations. China a Riddle to Europe. Pierre Lott does not believe that there will ever be a real understanding between Europe and China. In his last volume, which describes his experiences during the late war, his refrain is "China will always remain a riddle to us." --- He must keep the boat in position by his unaided strength. From the time he gets the line until the ride is ended he drives into a smothering sheet of flying spray. When the sea is high every bollin is hit by the boat with a smash that wrenches his arms. The strain on the waist causes burns and if he lets a slip of it slip he is disgraced. Once he is in it he is in it for good, with no chance of help or relief till the wild adventure is done. Often the boat is hauled so close on a harponed whale that the harponer leans over on the butt of the harpoon that is sticking in the great sea mammal, while with the other he drives the killing lance. Again and again the long weapon is buried deep in the suddenly thick thickened clots of blood well from the wound, showing that the "life" has been reached. Then it is "back," sometimes for dear life. A whale may take his death so quietly, so passively, that it is pititable to see so mighty a swimmer killed thus easily by man. Or he may fight till the boat seems only a black atom in the sudden uproar that smites the ocean and sends tons of water rising till they see high enough to wash the sky. The danger of the lightning whale is not the whale himself. The boat is a perfect man trap of keen, deadly tools. Lances and harpows, cutting gades, hatchets, knives, and boat hooks, all sharpened to the finest edge the ship's grindstone can give them, fill the boat. If the whale gets at it and hurts it into the air the men find themselves in murderous company when the weapons come raining down on them. So there are enough chances in the whale's exotic and content to be exacting of sportsmen. And the size of the trophy if he "bags" a whale certainly leaves nothing to be desired. WORK OF ART Like the monks of the middle ages, Mr. R. B. Johnston of Gisgow, Scotland, has written the Bible by hand and beautifully illumined it. His was a herculean task, in this day of rapid achievement and expeditionous processes, Mr. Johnston worked seven years over his Bible manuscript and not long ago put the finishing touches upon the unique book. One striking thing about the production is that the letter text does not vary from Genesis to Revelation. The work is done on post quarto paper, and looks like the production of some medieval ecclesiastical. The artistic arrangement, the spacing and the alignment of the text are due, in a large measure, to the fact that Mr. Johnston is a practical printer. "In my work of rewriting the Scriptures," said Mr. Johnston, "I discovered two typographical errors. These, you know, are very rare, and are regarded as the standard for which a may be imposed." The hand print made use of by Mr. Johnston has commended itself to a firm of London printers, who have prepared types from it, paying him a large sum for the original design. It is Mr. Johnston's idea to have his hand written Bible issued to the public in parts by the process of photo-lithography. How Wives Make Business.

Some Remarkable Golden Wedding Celebrations That Have Been Heid —One Couple Went Back to Prison Where They First Mt. One of the most remarkable golden wedding celebrations has just taken place outside Paris. Every year a contest in which only those couples who have celebrated their golden weddings during the preceding twelve months can compete is held, and takes the form of a race, each gray headed competitor having to carry his wife on his back. This year no fewer than nine couples arrived to endeavor to carry off the prize of a hogshead of wine and a couple of hams which is given to the winner. The course is 460 long, and John Demers passed the winning post first, covered the distance in 3:17, not bad time considering that his burden turned the scale at 140 pounds. It is probable that a more unusual celebration, as regards those who took part in it at any rate, will never be witnessed that at held at Magdeburg in December, 1897. Herr William Reidl is the leading executioner in Germany, and on the same day he attained the golden anniversary of his bridal day his silver wedding. Accordingly all the executiones of the German maniacities were invited to attend a banquet, and no fewer than 330 arrived upon the scene on the day appointed, thus forming the most remarkable assembly of guests on record. In La Sante prison at Paris a couple spert their golden wedding anniversary a few years ago, after having traveled half around the world for the express purpose of doing so. It was while undergoing sentence in this prison that John Dorman, an American subject, met the young woman whom he ultimately married on his release, whereupon he returned to his native land, taking his bride with him. When their golden wedding, they asked that they should spend it in this prison, and having traveled to France, managed to bring themselves within the grip of the law for some briding offense. But had not the facts of the case been revealed their wish would not have been gratified, for they were sentenced to imprisonment in different penitentiaries; but the authorities, struck by the novelty of the request, granted it To prove that advancing years had not taxed his strength, William Cantle, a Pennsylvania farmer, on celebrating his golden wedding, offered to wrestle with and throw a youth for each year he had been married, two minutes' breathing space only being allowed be tween each bout. Each competitor was compelled to stake a dollar, to be come the property of the man but not the woman, nineteen of the strongest youths in the neighborhood could produce Cantle slipped and broke his collarbone, thus ending the contest. Richardson, the veteran tightrope walker, distinguished himself in a novel fashion three years ago in order to mark the occasion of his golden wedding. He announced that he would wheel his wife, in a brow, along the edge of a railway bridge which spans the canal at Springfield, Ill. The track was only eleven inches wide, and all went well until two thirds of the journey was accomplished, when the strong wind caused him to lose his balance, and it was only with the greatest difficulty that he saved his wife from following the barrow into the canal. 120 feet below.

They Would Get Along. People living along the coast of Newfoundland are "wreckers" to a man—not in the criminal sense, but expert in stripping and unloading such vessels as are tossed up on their shoores. In fact, they count on prospective earnings of this kind. Father Hennebury, priest at Trepassey, near Cape Racet, was dining one day with the late Bishop Power of St. John's. "How will your people get along this winter?" said the bishop. "Very well, my lord," was the priest's cheerful answer, "with the help of God—and a few wrecks." A Question for Papa.

"A little joke happened at the turn back there last year," said the stage driver as the highway made a hat circle to the west. "What a joke!" asked the man on the seat beside him. "Wall, among the passengers to start from Hill Top one mawin' was a red-hiskered man who was great on the blow. He said he'd alms give $100 to have the stage stopped and that he wasn't afraid of no forty road agents rolled into one. "What a joke," and it was put up that Joe Harper should be at that turn and turned to hold up us and see red whiskers go down into his butes." "It did. When we reached the turn I slowed up a beetle and Joe jumped out and yelled fur hands up. I pulled up the hosses and he hollered fur the passengers to git down. Lord, how Joe hollered! You could have heard him two miles away. Everybody got down and the passengers in the joke perturbed to half-skeer to death." "But how about red-whitehers?" "Fur about a mint or two he 'peared to be ready to collapse, but then he pulled himself together and it was bad fur Poor Joe Harper. He had a gun in both hands and he opened fire and shot to kill. "I don't know how many bullets he shot into Joe, but it wasn't less'n six and then he put in half an hour to see any more robbers was on." "Then the joke was not a success?" "Not skassly, sah-not skassly. Joe Harper is lynn in his grave back thar, while the red-whiskered man was so mad about the put up job that he drive all the passengers out of the stage and made them wall fifteen miles." "I'm a great hand fur a joke, sah but iain not jikin' no more—not with red-whiskered men. They may be great hands to brag, but they also is loaded fur b'ar." REPORTER TOLD THE TRUTH Had Absolute Proof That Jefferson Had Retired. Joseph Jefferson, the veteran actor is very sensitive on the subject of his retirement from the stage. He has been before the footlights since a small child, and he has never shown any desire to leave it. The interviewer who puts the question of farewell to him gets a rather sharp but pleasant reply, but a question to the recently lost the best of him. The actor came down stairs at the hotel one morning and was much disturbed to find a long but mysteriously worded article in which the word retired was closely connected with his name. He knew the managing editor and made a half-hearted complaint. The editor and asked where he got the story "The city editor told me to see Mr Jefferson" said the young man, "anc "The city editor told me to see Mr Jefferson," said the young man, "and ask him if he was going to retire." "Well, did you see him?!" said the editor. "No, shi," said the reporter. "I sent up my card to his room and it was seen with this written on it: 'Mr. Jefferson has retired.'" And then the actor who sleeps twenty years in every performance took the reporter out and bought him a five-dollar hat—New York Times The Faces That Smile And you're missing all the glories of the present as they pass. You are lost in contemplation of the blunders you have made; You are sighing at the countless times you have been shining; But the future's sun is shining on the future's verdant trees; And the future's birds are these; Cease that useless gazing backward, look the other way awhile; For the future's future are the only ones that smile. When your back is to the future then the blazing lamp of hope. Throws your shadow o'er your landscape and with blinded eyes you grope For the blessings that had vanished with you; Face about and you'll discover all your groping's fruitfulness. You're lost in the glory of the prospect awhile; But with face turned to the future you will learn to wear a smile. -S. W. Gillan in Baltimore American.

Is it possible, and probable, that 10,000,000 men can make effective progress in political rights, made a service caste, and allowed only the most meager chance for a career and reason give any direct answer to these questions it is an emphatic "No." The fact that he faces the triple paradox of his career. "1. He is striving nobly to make Negro men more competitive, for workmenkind, but it is utterly impossible under modern competitive methods, for workmenkind, and exist without the right of suffrage. "2. He insists on thrift and self-respect, and submission to civic intermarry such as is bound to the manhood of any race in the long run. "3. He advocates common school and industrial training, and deprives institutions of higher learning, but realizes that he could remain in one place if he could remain open a day were it not for teachers" trained - in Negro colleges or THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER opposes the higher training and ambition of our brighter minds—so as he has the unceasingly and firmly oppose them. By every civilized and peaceful method, he must strive for it. He accords with clinging unwaveringly to great words which the sons of the fathers would fail forget: "We hold these truths in high regard, created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inanable rights; that among us are life, liberty, and justice." "The Negro has lived for over two centuries to adapt it to rostrum, through the press and in school, in legislative halls and on unplodging the doctrine that the constantly plate development of each human being is the only way to exercise the most complete freedom compatible with the reason of life. The Negro naturally had wrought into every flure of his nature the ability to see, to judge, to it, it is equally helpful and necessary to the well being of others. It is important to Henry, Give me liberty or give me death; should have had no influence upon the Negro, I do not have in him that which spurred him toward the acquiring of those qualities which the white man at the North would not have at the North nor the white man at the South would not have at the South." "Patiently, quietly, doggedly, persistently, through summer, through self-sacrifice, through borestness, by honesty and industry, we must re-force an awareness of our own house built, one house sweetly and intelligently kept, one man well cared for, one man the largest bank account, one school or church maintained, one factory running successfully, one doctor well cared for, one patient well cared for, one patient will tell more in our favor than the abstract eloquence that can be summoned to us up through the soil, up through swamps, up through forests, up through the streams, through communication and religion. "In connection with our presence in this country, it should have been our first and most severe, we not only were forced to come into this country against us, but we also against our most earnest protest. Both as slaves and as freemen, we have striven to see us, we have striven to see us, we could. We have cleared forests, built railways, tunneled mountains, we have cleared forests, we have cleared forests, we have always stood ready to defend the flag. We have never disturbed the country by attacking us, we have been a peaceful, faithful service and life. "In the face of all this I cannot believe vines into its midst every type of European, from the highest to the very dregs, will refuse to accord the same protection, protection and the highest encouragement, will refuse to accord the same protection, protection and the highest encouragement, will refuse to accord the same citizens. I repeat here what I have often said in the South: The Negro seeks no opportunity—that the same law which is made by the white man and applied to the one of more than one state constitutional convention in the South—namely, that any of more than one state constitutional convention in the South—namely, that any of being twisted into one interpretation when an ignorant white man is concerned and another when an ignorant black man is concerned and another when a good citizenship races, and wherever they fail to do this, they are weak and are not accord with the "We must not grow disappointed or deceived for thirty-five years ago has not taken place just exactly as we wish, or hoped for thirty-five years ago has always God's way. The ten commandments and the golden rule were properly grown and strivings, the Anglo-Saxon citing him as the reason for his growth and strivings, the Anglo-Saxon citing him as the reason for his growth and strivings, with me, reached the point where he is living up to them in our life, and we are sure, no one has yet been bold enough to propose that we should repeal the ten commandments in all races, rich and poor, black and white, must have a standard of perfectness, must have a standard of perfectness, must have a standard of perfectness, rich and oor, black and white, towards which its people must continually "The age for settling great questions, either social or national, was long ago. The writings has passed. An appeal to such methods is unworthy of either race. I may be in doubt about some of the things I have said, but of the thing I feel perfectly sure, and that is that ignorance and race hatred are no solution for any problem on earth. I am not continually calling attention to its weak points. The Negro, like the slave, is the best element rather than by its weakest. "It is hard to find those who can so far be just with complete absence of prejudice. In most cases there is an effort to prove that they are not just a joke, but just an ordinary human being. I deploy the spirit and the disposition of the mind to fort out of the habit of continually dwelling upon the mistakes and weak points of the individual who is living in green groves and the stumps of life. He suggests a remedy for those mistakes and weaknesses. Anyone who is guilty of doing wrong is not stubble and the stumps of life. He is not content with cold, captions, and soul into positive, progressive effort to strengthen and make more useful the individual who is living in green groves and who is continually drinking in the abundance of chance that comes from beautiful flowers." "Though often beset begin and before, and on the right hand and on the left hand, I have insurmountable. I have the most complete faith in the ultimate adjustment of an individual who is living in green groves upon us. More and more, as a race, we are learning to exclaim with one of old: 'The individual follows are high; their fur is mighty. But the Lord is above them, and almighty and almighty.'" **GARDEN ANNUAL** The American Baptist Year Book for 1963 has been issued by the publication society of that denomination at Philadelphia (paper, 25 cents).

THE TRUE ABRAHAM LINCOLN The True Abraham Lincoln. By William Eleroy Corrys, author of The True Abraham Lincoln, and J. B. Lippincott Company. By N. E. Philadelphia, J. B. Lippincott Company. These rare characters in history, the record of whose lives grow in interest with each succeeding generation, and which glimpse brighter as time passes and which are decorated, net, E. F. Philadelphia, J. B. Lippincott Company. These characters are unique and original and bear striking analogies to each other, which their self dedication to truth. They may be called the guide points of the story, and the Storrs, Luther and Lincoln. It is about the latter that William Eleroy Corrys has written the title, The True Abraham Lincoln. The story of Lincoln is always aboundous volumes which have been written about him who stocked his library, but here, read none of them which surpass in arrangement of literary titles the mtl msl mslbon. he exerted such a profound influence on western thought, that his works were light upon many of the eminent careers of distinguished statesmen and soldiers. The story of Lincoln has faults, as a youth, and as a man, but not to remind us that Mr. Lincoln had faults, as a youth, and as a man, striking contrast to the sublimity of his character, which had been attained before The illustrations are profuse and some of them are taken from a published biography of the great Emperorator's life. The Leader of the Springfield Bar, is full of interest, as the author describes the life of the average plucker, upward and onward until he became a pleader of such pass in the logical presentation of his cases, and in the imposition of in institutions of higher education. ```markdown ``` The scene is New York. The hero a disapprover but fortune has frowned upon him: Mr. Stephens is particular to seek familiar neighborhoods. He aims to reproduce the bustle of his architecture, its manners, its customs. The well-appointed flat, the bohemian cafe, the chaphouse, the waterside neighborhood are all recognizable, place enough to seem perfectly natural. The "mystery" seems to be something to accept it for what it is worth we certainly will not quarrel with it, like enough except the explanation when it comes. What it is the reader must learn for himself. THE ARCHIERY OF SAMARA. The Archery of Samara. By Henry Illowitt. $1.50. Philadelphia: Henry T.

These sentiments form the undercurrent of what has been written of late regarding Russia and the policies of reform with what has been written of late regarding Russia and the policies of reform with the latest newspaper accounts of the persecution of the Jews, which cannot be ignored.

J.; Simplickon Chew & Sons Co. Many white convicts were shipped to the colony, and many were merged into the mass of the population. An act providing for the gradual emancipation of the slaves, although New Jersey legislature in 1804. A furious New Jersey legislature in 1844, did not bring about the complete emancipation of the slaves, although Lincoln's proclamation was issued. In 1845, Lincoln's proclamation was issued. A member of the state senate, introduced and passed a bill, which removed slavery from the last vestige of slavery in New Jersey. The little book contains much valuable information.

They said they cared nothing for colored people, and would take no steps to protect them. “[ then wrote to Gov.
