The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, without retaliation. 3- Its correspondence is able and energetic. How Two M How Two Monarchs Died M. Paul Gaulc's "A Conspiracy Under the Terror," which has just been published, suggests to me another reason, beside that of the contrast between their characters, for the contrast between the death scenes of Louis XVI and of Marie Antoinette, writes T. P. O'Connor. Not the least horrible of all the haunting horrors of "The Terror" is the death struggle on the scaffold of Louis XVI. Here is Louis Blanc's description of it in his "Histoire de la Revolution Française": "Descending from his carriage, Louis fixed his eyes upon the soldiers who surrounded him, and with a menacing voice cried, 'Silence! The soldier from their officer the drummers again went on. What treason is this?' he shouted. 'I am lost! I am lost!' For it was evident up to this moment he had been clinging to hope. The executioners now approached to take off a part of his clothes; he repulsed them fiercely, and himself removed the collar from his neck. All the blood in his frame seemed to be turned into fire when they sought to tie his hands, struggle gle was inevitable. It was dispatible that Louis fought with his executioners. The Abbe Edgeworth stood by, perplexed, horrified, speechless. At last, as his master seemed to look inquiringly at him, he said: 'Sir, in this additional outrage, I only see a last trait of the resemblance between your majesty and the God who will give you your reward'. At these words the indignation of the man gave way to the humility of the Christian, and Louis Girl Had Her Way She was in love with a young doctor. "He's quite impossible!" cried her mother when informed of it. "Out of the question," asserted her father. "He has fine prospects," insisted the girl. "You can't live on prospects," said the father. The next day she was ill. "I can see nothing wrong," said the physician who was called to attend her. Nevertheless he left a prescription, but it seemed to be no good. The symptoms she described were conflicting and confusing. "It's very strange," said the physician. "If you do not understand the case, we must get someone who does," said the mother. So, after a week or more of experimenting another physician was called in. "A trifling indisposition," said the second physician. "I'll have her right in a day or so." But in a day or so she had him rattled. Her lover had told her how to do it. "Every time I see her," said the A Halsted St --- A Halsted Street Pastoral "Little Barefoot" of Bubby Creek. Her father twists the lever on a Halsted trolley train. At the door, his dinner pail, drenched in the pelting rain. She has a piquant rose-leaf face, a robe she is the mascot of the car, the passengers declare. And she also eats his lunch, the grasps the trolley bar— "Now. Daddy, you just lame be, and I Of course I've got 'em beat a block; you see the coast is clear. Say, Bubby, like to see me play the engineer?" REFRAIN. "Now, all aboard, get ready; say, Miss I can run the trolley car, because my daddy's near. Don't bubble that Creek whelping, to Don's Bubbly Creek we're going— say, I can you like to see me play the engineer?" She holds the lever like her dad, and guides the trolley tree. Over her knees glide by roses drenched in dew; Over her knees fling by, breast the shrieking gale; The little lassie's still on deck and "Jap" Elixir Is Good The ingenious Japanese have developed a trade in a commodity which has been decided by the general board of customs appraisers at Washington, to be hitherto unheard of and not enumerated in the Dingley act. This is Midzame, a syrup that finds a demand on the Pacific coast in competition with corn syrup, which is largely produced in Illinois. Midzame is highly syrupy, a subtle substitute for Japanese millet and rice. The chemists say it is mainly starch and dextrine. The best quality is a fine yellow, and its palatability is beyond all cavil. The producers are themselves great consumers, and seem to thrive on it. The consumption of the new mixture or brew is said to be extending constantly in the West. The method of manufacture is to steam the grain, cover it with mats said to the executioners, 'I will drain the cup to the dregs.' "But after the executioners had made all the grim toilet of death, Louis had protested his innocence and pronounced his forgiveness in, the loud voice, which the drummers, at the command of the comedian, Dugayon, proceeded to drown, he again lost all his self-control. 'Silence! Be silent!' cried the king, losing all control, and stamping, with his foot, on the door of the executioners, then seized a pistol and took aim at the king. It was necessary to drag him along by force. With difficulty fastened to the fatal plank, he continued to utter terrible cries, only interrupted by the fall of the knife." Contrast this frightful death struggle on the scaffold with the dignity of that despicable fratricide, Philippe Egalite. He was no sooner condemned to immediate execution than says Mongailard, he ordered and consumed with much relic some dozens of oysters, a couple of cutlets, and a bottle of claret. Then he cried, easy, commanding, in faultless attire, and with the air of a prince proceeding to his coronation, he is drawn to the scaffold. "The cruel populace," says Carlyle, "stopped me from killing Philippe Egalite whom Palis Royal, along whose ashlar wall ran in high tri-color print, "Republic One and Indivisible; Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, or Death; National Property." Philippe's eyes flashed hell fire one instant, but the next instant it was gone and he sat impassive. On the scaffold Samson was for drawing off his boots. "Tush!" said Philippe, "they will come better off after. Let's have done!" second physician, "there seems to be some new complication. I can't find anything radically wrong, but her statements certainly show that she is not all right." By this time the father and mother were worried and they sent for a specialist. The latter looked wise, but he met with no greater success than the two who had preceded him, although his bill was considerably larger. The father had just seen the bill when the girl called to him. "I fear," she said, wearily, "that this trouble is going to continue indefinitely. Don't you think it would be wise to have a physician In the family." The father looked at her suspiciously. "Perhaps it would," he admitted. "And it's easy to have one," she persisted. "Arrange it to suit yourself," he said, resigned, for he was a man who knew when he was beaten. The next day she was able to sit up, and the day after she had entirely recovered. But the father continued to look at her reproachfully, even up to the day of the wedding.—Brooklyn Eagle.

JULY 16. 1904. New York may now be called a city of sumptuous hotels, but it is a long cry from the Waldorf-Astoria to the first tavern where the burly Dutchman drank their schnapps and smoked their long-stemmed pipes while they discussed municipal regulations—as, for example, that hats should not be worn, that trees must not be felled across the streets; or that liquor must not be sold to the Indians, or during church hours, or after 9 o'clock at night. During the early days of the Dutch "Directeur General" of the East India Company in the city of New Amsterdam, any chance travelers were entertained by the citizens, and the gracious hospitality of the governor was extended to all of the defenses of the city, this duty of private entertainment grew so laborious that a public house was erected by Gov. Withelm Kleft at the company's ex- MADISON COTTAGE 23RD ST. AN OLD ROAD HOUSE THE STADTS HERBERG-LATER TOWN ON MANHATTAN ISLAND MADISON COTTAGE THE STADTIS HERBERG-LATER THE STADT HUYS. FIRST HOTEL ON MANHATTAN ISLAND BUILT IN 1842 pense. This was situated on Pearl street and Coonties Slip, facing the East river. The building was of rough hewn stone, four stories and attic, with the high-pitched roof common to all Dutch buildings of that period. The gable ends of the roof, were arranged in steps, as are many of the old French buildings which still remain in the Province of Quebec. This Stadts Herbergh or City Inn was completed in 1642 and was used for public service till 1654, when it became the Stadt Huyz or City Inn and for almost fifty years continued to be the meeting place for the councils courtmasters and scheepens. In it was the courtroom and the jail, and in front a cafe and whipping post. In 1699 it was sold for $20 shillings and to pieces. Opposite Bowling Green was the tavern of Martin Krieger or King's Arms," as it was called later. The garden of this tavern was a favorite place of resort for the Knickerbocker citizens, who in Krieger's day rested their bodies on the benches and solemnly smoked while they watched the sun set behind the trees. In its later days it was used as a continuation to be a favorite place of resort for entertainment and recreation. At 112 William street stood Golden Hill Inn, built of Holland brick, one of the oldest taverns in Manhattan. It was used as a meeting place by the "Liberty Boys," and just back of the inn, in an open field, occurred the first fight with the British regulars in the war of the Revolution, Jan. 18, 1770. This open skirmish of the Golden Hill, and is commemorated by a tablet on a building at the corner of John and William streets. Clothes and the Man "Why, old man, you look as if you had gone through a hard campain in China with that same blessed old coat on that you used to wear back at college." The red-faced, sleek dressed man clapped the little minister on the back and roared, his greeting heartly enough after three years' separation. The man of the cloth looked down on the greeny-black coat, tightly buttoned up to the throat, so that the lack of a shirt underneath would not be manifest; he tucked back out of sight one frayed cuff that had slipped down the bare wrist, then he laughed a little unceasily. "No, I will not go up to your club, Jim; I hardly look fit to-day." "Why, fit enough! Come along." The red-faced chap was not to be put off. He was not a fellow to be thoughtful of little things. "But, I say, Freddy," he continued, "you must be in love when you forget to keep Where the Boreal building now stands, at 115 Broadway, the Holland Society of New York have erected a tablet to mark the site of the historic De Lancey House. This was the home of Gov. William C. Hale and was known by various names—"The City Hotel," "The City Arms," "The Province Arms," "Burn's Coffee House," etc. It is said that here the merchants of New York signed the famous non-importation agreement in opposition to the Stamp act, 1765. The City hotel was a plain four-story building with its big square windows stretching in long even lines across the front. It depended for its reputation on the quality of either exterior or interior, but on the menu, which in that hostelry reached the highest point of perfection in colonial days. Meats and fish were served in every style and in AND BROADWAY HOUSE THE FAMOUS SIDE OF BROADWAY THE STADT HUYS.

The marshes supplied wild fowl—turkeys, ducks and geese—and the woods, pigeons, partridge, quail, squirrels, rabbits, hares and deer. But for its wine collar the City hotel was famous, and when, after nearly a century of existence, the old hotel was discontinued the remaining stock of Madera, sherry and port was eagerly bought up at fabulous prices by tonnoisseurs. Where now stands the Thalia theater, on the Bowery below Canal street, was the famous Bull's Head tavern, built about 1760. This was an inn much frequented by cattle traders, as it was close to the cattle markets and shaughter houses. Here Gen. Washington and his staff rested after the British troops had marched out on Evacuation day. On the site of the tavern was built the Bowery theater, which was burned down four times, and each time rebuilt. Since 1879 it has been called the Thalia theater. Here the elder Booth and Lester Wallack gained their greatest fame. Famous also, in Revolutionary his that button there sowed on. Back at Dartmouth you were spotless itself. You remember when we used to go out to see that Hackett girl and I—" The little preacher, who had been getting more and more red, interrupted with an upraised finger. "Jim, maybe I had best explain. I always used to like good clothes, I admit—maybe I was quite a dandy at college. But, Jim, old man, I am not getting very much salary now, down at the chapel—only $45 a month—and sometimes that is not regular. And, besides," the tired eyes lit up with a gleam near akin to triumph, "we have a new altar in the chapel now and—and—I helped with its purchase a little bit." "Fredy," said he of the slick tweed and the figured vest and his voice was sunk to a note of awe, "Freddy, you are the best-dressed man in San Francisco today." --- THE FAMOUS BUCKHORN TAVERN ON EAST SIDE OF BROADWAY BETWEEN 21ST AND 22ND ST. tory was Labon's inn, situated on Flatbush avenue in Brooklyn. This famous old hostelry, with its two great trees shading the veranda, was occupied by the Hessians after the American army has abandoned Brooklyn. The British camp was located at Bedford Farm, on the farm of Barent Lefferts. In the early days of the nineteenth century the actors, poets, and writers were wont to resort to the Shakespeare tavern, at the corner of Nassau and Fulton streets. This was a low, old-fashioned building of straw-colored bricks, with dormer windows in the roofs. The proprietor was Thomas Hodgkinson, himself an actor of local repute. He undertook the submargestellt in the Tontine coffee house, on the northwest corner of Wall and Water streets. This building was erected in 1790 by the Tontine society, an organization BUCKHORN TAVERN ON EAST WAY BETWEEN 2181 AND 2248 ST. of 202 members, holding equal shares. According to the articles of incorporation it was to be used and kept as a coffee house, and for no other use and purpose whatsoever until the number of corporators should be by death reduced to seven, at which period the property was to be towed among the among corporators. This original merchant was not adhered to, however, for the building was afterward altered and leased for commercial purposes and the rents divided among the survivors. This coffee house became very popular in the early days of the last century, and in its dissemination of political ideas, was a counterpart of the Fifth Avenue hotel or the Hoffman house of to-day. On the present site of the Tribune building was Martilleg's tavern, the house of the company hall from 1798 until the erection of its permanent house in 1813. In the village of New Dorp, S. I., is one of the oldest taverns yet remaining within the limits of Greater New York. It is the old Black Horse tavern, built about 1685. The present proprietor is Patrick Curry, who shows with pride the old beams and timbers of the original building and the hanging wooden sign on which the "black horse" is now barely discernible. The sign is full of bullet shows that it was a favorite target for more. Go about fifteen years ago this old sign was taken down and stored away, for the heavy iron rings by which it hung were completely worn through by the swinging backward and forward for over 200 years—New York Times. An Apt Text. At Vassar the other day a visiting clergyman was asked to preach to the young lady students and the suggestion was dropped that it would be better for him to take a text which he would use before a general congregation, instead of selecting one which he thought especially applicable to the gentler sex, who constituted the hearers on that day. There was many times in time and many since, when the text he is considered, it being "follow me and I will make you fathers of men." The students wondered if there was some special reason for the clergyman's choice of Scripture. Quick-Witted Candidate A candidate for parliament in a rural district of England was young and his engagement to a popular and pretty local girl was well known. She was sitting prominently on his platform one night while he was in the garden, and the girl's gittin marit" shouted a heartless voter. The candidate, though obviously nonplussed, had plenty of grit and he bluntly retorted in confidential tones: "Look here, gentlemen, it depends on this contest. Some one in the vicinity has promised to let me fix the day if I am elected." The meeting cheered and he was elected. Asphalt in South Africa.

By means of this system each newspaper could erect a central tower over its plant and, equipping its reporters with pocket instruments, send them forth into the world in quest of news.

Describing his system Mr. Tesla says: "The results attained by me have made my scheme of intelligence transmission, for which the name of world telegraphy has been suggested, easily realizable.

I Why Lawyers Why Lawyers Make Money There are 2,000,000 civil suits brought in this country every year. If the plaintiffs were different in every case, one in eight of the voting population could be said to be a litigant. As it is, the actual number of different litigants is not in excess of 800,000—400,000 plaintiffs and 400,000 defendants. Each of the total population of the country, now about 80,000,000. The number of lawsuits brought in a year in France is 80,000. In Italy—Italians are much inclined to litigation—it is 1,400,000, and in Germany it is 3,000,000, a very much larger number, both actually and relatively, than the number in the United States.

They turned to his bedside, but he expired as they watched. When they looked down, the head again the head had disappeared. There was a splash of fresh blood upon the floor to mark the spot where it had been, but nothing else to certify that the horrid sight had not been a creation of morbid imagination.

It involves the employment of a number of plants, all of which are capable of transmitting individualized signals to the uttermost confines of the earth. Each of them will be preferably located near some important center of civilization, and the news it receives through any channel will be flashed to all points of the globe. A cheap and simple device, which might be carried in one's pocket, may then be set up somewhere on sea or land, and it will record the world's news, or such special messages as may be intended for it. Thus the entire earth will be converted into a huge brain, as it were, capable of response in every one of its parts.

Of the number of appeal cases heard, one in every three was successful, against one in four or five, years ago. The total cost of British litigation in 1903 was placed at $7,809,875. The best measure of litigation is usually the number of laws or statutes, and not, contrary to general belief, the number of lawyers. In this country it is found generally to be the case that the largest amount of litigation does not originate among Americans, but among newcomers here, who appeal to the courts for the adjudication of matters of trifling account. In no other country in the world are there so many damage suits brought as there are in the United States. death Tragic This appearance of a negro's head in the room of a man dying after he had committed innumerable barbarieties upon black slaves was a strange coincidence and nothing more. Prof. Owen, the famous anatomist, had been attending an anatomical lecture, where the body of a negro had been dissected. He was taking the head home with him to examine it more carefully. The streets were wet and slippery. Just as he was passing the open door, the man dying he trapped and the head, slipping from the cloth in which he it, rolled into the little room. The cry of the dying man diverted the attention of those who were in the room, so that Owen was able to secure his treasure and depart unnoticed. I never have sailed on a gallant ship.

Discussing the suffrage plank in the Chicago platform, the Nashville American wants to know "what benefit can such 'buncombe' be to the Republican party? The Northern Negro vote may be relied on as safely Republican without resort to such false bids. There is no excuse or reason for incorporating such a plank in the platform unless it is to be the policy of the party; and if it is then it means a purely partisan and sectional fight against the South, with Roosevelt as the leader of it." This is all bosh. The suffrage plank in the Chicago platform is strictly in accord with the constitution of the MRS. MARY CHURCH TERRELL. A most significant feature of the congress at Berlin, has been the reception given to the two addresses of the president, Richard L. Kingston, D. C., former president of the National Association of Colored Women, and for five years a member of the school board in the District of Columbia, Mrs. Terrell is a graduate of Columbia, and served a year in Berlin and a year in Paris, so she was able to deliver one speech in excellent German and one in equally good United States, and does not apply any more to the South than it would to any other section of the country. The basis of representation in congress is the population, but when a large number of citizens are wrongfully, unjustly deprived of their suffrage it is eminently proper that the representation be reduced whether that section of the country is in the North or the South. The Dutch have been fighting the Achehenese for 30 years, and although there are only 60,000 of them, they have not succeeded in conquering the sturdy islanders. Because they are not white, the Caucasian-American papers refer to the Achehenese as the "most blood thirsty people on earth." These people are simply defending their homes from the foreign thieves who would steal their land. it's queer that patriotism in a white man is bloodfirstiness in a brown man. Since the last issue of THE AP-PEAL the Democrats in national convention at St. Louis, have selected the lambs—if such a name could be applied to Democrats—for slaughter in November. We do not claim that the aforesaid lambs (?) will be meekly slaughtered, but on the contrary they will put up a stiff fight, they will, however, be slaughtered just the same. Helene Vacaresco has written a book on "Kings I Have Known." Henry Watterson has in preparation, "Hands I Have Held." These two titles seem to have some connection with the national game, but like a "bob-tailed flush" it's not a sure thing to bet on. United States Treasurer Roberts states that the silver bullion purchased under the Sherman act of 1890, having been exhausted, no more silver dollars will be coined. Now will Billy Bryan be good? SEA SERPENT NOT A MYTH. Sailors Testify Under Oath That They Have Seen Monster. There exists a sworn statement describing a fight to the death between a whale and a sea serpent. Before the Liverpool stipendiary affidavits were sworn by members of the crew of the Pauline declaring that on July 8, 1875, when in latitude 5 degrees 13 seconds south, longitude 35 degrees west, they observed three large sperm whales, "one of which was gripped round the body with two turns of what appeared to be a huge serpent." The head and tail seemed to have a length beyond the colls of about thigh feet and its girth seemed to be tight. The serpent whirled its victim round and round for about fifteen minutes, then suddenly dragged the whale to the bottom, head first." The evidence went on to state that the same crew saw a similar serpent on July 13, in the same year swimming along the surface, "the head and neck being out of the water several feet."

This story is told of the famous "Tom" Corwin: During his first term in the Ohio House of Representatives, about the year 1823, a bill to stop the whipping of criminals was under discussion. Corwin, a native of Kentucky, ardently advocated the repeal of the old law. A member of the House who had come from Connecticut, was active on the opposite side. He urged the retention of whipping as a punishment, and asserted as a strong point in favor of his contention that he had noticed, while living in Connecticut, that whenever a man was whipped, in execution of the sentence of a court of justice, he immediately left the state and did not return. Corwin promptly retorted that he knew many people had come to Ohio French. This achievement on the part of an Afro-American woman, added to a fine presence and the eloquence of her words, carried the audience by storm and she had to respond three times to the encounters before they were satisfied. It was more than a personal tribute, it was a triumph for her race. Mrs. Terrell has been included in all the social courtesies extended to the speakers.—Mrs. Ida Husted Harper in Washington Post. _____ from Connecticut, but he had never before known the reason for their coming. When Kissing Was Universal. The practice of lip to lip salutation was especially characteristic of English social life in Tudor times. Its universal employment was one of the things noticed by Erasmus during his sojourn in England, and is thus commented on in one of his "Epistolae": "Here are girls with angels' faces, so kind and obliging that you would preface them with a kiss; there is a custom here never to be sufficiently commended. Whenever you come you are received with a kiss by all; when you take your leave, you are dismissed with kisses; you return, kisses are repeated. They come to visit you, kisses again; they leave you, you kiss them all round. Should they meet you and you, the same, wherever you move there is nothing but kisses."—New York Medical Journal. Condor Being Exterminated. The California condor is practically the rarest bird living in the world today, being much scarcer than the Andean condor of South America, and is rapidly following the great auk and Labrador duck into extinction. Its skin is valued at $25 to $75 by taxidermists, while the egg is worth from $100 to $200 according to its condition, and there is always a market for both skin and egg open to the collector who is so fortunate as to take either. Within a few years these huge birds, whose wing spread is often thirteen feet, will all have passed away. Sunset in Moscow. O the splendor of the city, When the sun is bright and beast! Rudy the dragon and belly, Gold on Moskwa's placid breast; - Ill the twilight soft and square, And the domes and towers in shadow Stand like silent monks at prayer. Tis the hour for dream and legend; We will watch the crowd go by us; We will stories old relate; Tis the hour for monks to blow, Calls the soldier to repose, And from off the steppe to northward Chill the wind of the breeze, Blows the wind of the storm. Gives Warning of Storms. It has been observed that immediately preceding storms an unusual amount of scum appears on the surface of ponds, and in a recent issue of London Nature a plausible explanation of this phenomenon attributes it to change in barometric pressure. It is suggested that the scum formation is due to the rise of marsh grass from the ooze at the bottom of ponds following a sudden fall in the barometer, presaging weather change, the gas carrying along with it some of the solid matter of the ooze. Origin of Scotch Names. The Scotch prefixes Mac, Mc and M', each mean son, and are nearly as common among them as "son" is among the Scandinavians. The Scotch have a relatively few number of surnames, however, owing to entire clans sometimes having the same form. Indeed, most of Scotch names were originally not surnames at all, in our sense of the word, but clan names. Etiquette of Turf Colors A curious usage of the turf is one which ordains that, when once worn, the cap and jacket representing a patrons "colors" become the property of the jockey. If, as frequently hapens the owner wishes to retain them as a memento of a successful race, he must buy them from the employee to whom, perhaps, he gave them but an hour or two before. DISRAELI AS A PLAGIARIST. Statesman Appropriated Brilliant Words of Other Men. A recently published volume on Disraeli's singles out as one of the most brilliant of Disraeli's sayings a sentence which that statesman appropriated without acknowledgment from Bacon's "Essay of Great Man" the ancient counsel of both the statesmen, which is best, of the modern times that which is fittest. The most frequently quoted of all Disraeli's sayings was similarly appropriated by him without acknowledgment from Lord Shaftesbury: "Men of sense are all of the same religion." "And what is that religion, my lord?" "That men of sense never tell," Disraeli, however, never himself appropriated a joke of the same religion, the new volume attributes to his hero: "A deputation is a noun of multitude, signifying many, but not much." THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.

HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1871. History of the commune of 1871. Translated from the French of Lissabon by Eleanor Marx Aveling. New York: International Publishing Co. "History of the commune of 1871," translated from the French of Lissabon by Eleanor Marx Aveling, is a well written volume of history, dealing with one of those political convulsions which have so frequently shook France to its foundations. The translator has performed the difficult art of preserving the peculiar epigrammatic and pointed style of all French prose, and of which Lissabonay appears to be a master. The descriptive art of the author never lags from the opening to the closing chapter of this book of extraordinary happenings. The commune of 1871 was the culmination of French weakness and imbecility—the culmination of a criminal torpor that rested upon those in authority, and which followed swiftly upon the heels of the prostration of the French by the wonderful armies under that prince of military strategists Von Moltke. In reading certain chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolting cruelties of the Revolution were again being enacted in Paris and elsewhere throughout the country. The events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author: "Ibismack prepared the war, Napoleon II wanted the great bourgeois looked on, and the French had to earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with a grimace. He saw in this book the great bourgeois' inferiority in everything; he could have united the Left, the tiers-parti, the journeymen, the bourgeois, the folly of the attack, and supported by this strength of opinion, have said to the French that it is impossible; we shall combat it as treasured. Poor France! Who will save thee? The humble, the poor, those who for six years contended for the thee with the Empire, and for a few hours of rest, and the liberals seek, to feather their nests under the protection, to feather their nests under the protection, to rise against the still all-powerful despot. On the one hand young men, who have been over to the people, faithful children of 1738, to continue the work of the Empire, to continue the work of the ingenue unite for the study and conquest of the rights of labor. In vain the emperors, their forces, to reduce the workgimen. The author then follows up with a descent, to be sent to the contending factions which finally burst forth in all the horrors of the Paris, Marselles, Toulouse and Narbonne who can be converted into veritable struggle which for madness and unchecked violence finds few counterparts in the world. Many new events—that is events which are not part of the work of that period are brought forward by the author. in his work which considered the work of the point is an achievement of no inconsiderable degree. CIVIL WAR TIMES Civil War Times. By Daniel Walt Vo, 411. Bk. 411. Indianapolis: Dobbs- vo, pp. 411. The war of '61-5 will never cease—at least in the present generation, to be a perennial and never falling topic of absorbing interest. This is so, because it was a war of giants; because many of the war of the 19th century was the result of its "hair breadth-escapes, and the imminent deadly breach"; its long and dreadful marches; its Gettysburg and Chickamaugas; because the finale of that conflict profoundly influenced the civilizations of the world; because its echoes still reverberate in all the various activities of America. Because of these things the author's volume is interesting. It can be read with profit: by any one and many incidents of the great strife which has hitherto remained unwritten, its brought forth by Mr. Howe. One of the most interesting chapters in the volume is one dealing with the relation of the Confederacy toward the National Soldier. The author tells us, that nearly every important Confederate commander favored the enlistment of black soldiers: that the mattel was finally debated in the Confederate Senate, and the bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote, that of Senator Hunter, the president of the Confederacy, that of the Congress of the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders saw the doom of Richmond and the "cause," a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederate flag, but that before it could be made effective, the fall of Ritchmond, and the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand. The war of the United States was the under its banner. There are other very interesting chapters in the book. The style is clear, unimaginative, and written instructively. *MONEY, BANKING, AND FINANCE.* Bolles's Money, Banking and Finance, is a book that is useful to the author, who writes "Practical Banking," "Bank Officers," etc. and Lecturer in the University of Chicago.

Boston and New York: HarperCollins. Dr. Abbott made the acquaintance of Beecher in 1884, and was a close and intimate friend. He attended Dr. Beecher's church in Brooklyn, and is thus well qualified to greet his predecessor. The book is therefore not so much a history of the life of Beecher as it is a portrait of him, as it appeared to Dr. Abbott. The career of Beecher as an anti-slavery reformer before and during the civil war was a major part of his historical matter of the utmost value. OF especial importance is the chapter on Mr. Duncan in 1888. He reached London in the autumn of that year from a season on the British coast for fouling for New York. But fate ordered otherwise. At that time the sympathy of the aristocratic and moneyed class, critically the aristocratic and moneyed class, South, and the man who dared to speak in behalf of the American cause "was indignity." This sympathy for the South and hatred of the North had, at the time of his arrival, proportioned, and rumors were afloat to the effect that the British government, in the struggle for the economic sentiment to intervene in the struggle of the South. Such was the state of feeling when Dr. Dreesher reached England. When Dr. Dreesher reached London were of course, greatly alarmed by the tour through England, speaking in behalf of counteracting the work of agents of the Conferency who were then seduously fanatic, and publicizing his speeches and publications. Any other man would have weakened, but havingPromptly attacked the man he stuck to it courageously in spite of speeches and all the other amusements which the British public consider perfectly legitimate for fouling for New York an unpoppable speaker from being heard. A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY. A Political History of Slavery. By William Henry Smith. With an introduction by Whitelaw Red. Two volumes. 3vo. Net. $4.50. By mail. $5.00. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. "A Political History of Slavery," by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the controversy over the slavery question, from the early days of the 18th century to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. There is an introduction by Whitelaw Reid, which tells of Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive volumes. Mr. Reid says: "This Political History is written with the fullness of knowledge that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, from a lifelong familiarity with and study of the entire range of the subjects, and from access to much unpublished information, in the papers of President Hayes and Governor Brough, in the records of the state office held during a critical part of the period, and in constant personal communication with some of the actors." Again: As time goes on, the move will be done, in the history of the move, as it is from the first lines of the bounds of freedom, to communities and to leading men that relled upon typical Anglo-Saxon means for the correction of wrongs, and the better development of Anglo-Saxon institutions; — 19 Horace Greeley first among public educators, to Chase and Seward, Stanton and Welles, first among legislators and cabinet ministers, and the first among the first in the U.S. at the superior of them all, and certainly the most capable politician of the list, Abraham Lincoln. In Chapter I, the author says: "If there is one thing clearly established, it is that slavery was depreciated by the men who formed the Constitution; who, recognizing that such an institution was inconsistent with the great principles of civil liberty for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Republic, refrained from inserting in that great charter a name so repulsive to freedom. We must conclude that they were percipient witnesses to the public sentiment that the day. There was no situation that could have followed the effect from the great of slavery and the feeling that it was injurious to society was in no sense dependent upon sectional lines. Its ultimate extinction was generally confidently expected: emancipation was to be the rule. This came early north of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that if there had been no inhibition, the future would have been in America, and the nation would have followed in Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee. "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its moral and religious policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because of its religious implications, to impotent as his, or succumbed to the violence of political forces; while that havoc was not the result of an important part in the creation of a third party. The Society of Friends he all other denominations in the employment of the Church. Lloyd Jordy Larson, Benjamin Lundy or Chas. of moral influence for the eradication of slavery, and outspoken utterances in the Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist churches at an early date, are in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee." "Some years ago one who had been with the generals of modern abolitionism, Osborne was entitled to be styled the first lieutenant of the writer who challenged "the truth of Osborne to be mentioned before either Lundy or Garrison, but strangely overlooked by the generals, strikingly like that of Lundy—John Woolman, a friend, who was born in New York, and who was the count of his early life and career, exceedingly menial.

More than usual interest was aroused throughout the city when the announcement was made that Mr. John J. Johnson, who has successfully withstood the wiles of the fair sex for many years, had at last met his fate and would take to himself a better half. The question which involuntarily arose was "Who is to be the bride?" as Mr. Johnson had not been credited with being very much of a ladies' man, folks naturally wondered who had so favorably impressed him. Then was it learned that Mr. Johnson had not heeded the old-time advice, "Beware of the widows!" and through a well conducted correspondence had won a handsome, buxom widow of Cincinnati, Mrs. Johnson. The invitations were duly issued and on last Tuesday evening the residence of Mr. Johnson's mother, Mrs. Ann Johnson. No 550 Wohala street, was filled with guests who had been bidden to witness the nuptials. About half past eight Mrs. R. C. Minor played the wedding march and the bridal party came down the stairway and slowly marched into the parlor. The groom was supported by his best man, Mr. Lemuel Thompson, the bride was supported by Mr. C. H. Brown, by whom she was given away, and her bridesmaid Mrs. Mary Summers. They met in the front parlor under a large floral bell, where Ree. Geo. W. Gaines of St. James A. M. E. Church performed the ceremony of making them man and wife. The bride is a very fine looking woman, with quite a pleasing and engaging manner. She was gowned in gray etamine with drop silk skirt of same shade, large lace sleeves, bodice of all over lace, white satin front and carried a shower bouquet of brides roses. The bridesmaid wore a gown of white lace and silk. The grower and best man wore the conventional black dress suit, white kid shoes, etc. After the ceremony, which was quite impressive, congratulations were extended and refreshments served under the auspices of the serving committee, composed of Mrs. C. H. Brown, Miss N. Miller, Mrs. John Reynolds, Mrs. M. Moore, Miss Ella Steward, Mr. John Casey and Mr. Clifford Harris, Mrs. J. H, Charleston served punch and Mrs. K. B.
