The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, wasting no money. 3- It uses the news and energy.

There was a spectacular process with hanners and brass bands. There were hundreds of thousands of people to witness the procession and when the president took the oath of office he looked upon the upturned faces of a multitude. The newspapers printed page after page of descriptive articles, later on the weekly papers showed it in pictures and then the magazines had their say. In what strange contrast all this is with the inauguration of Thomas Jefferson, just one hundred years ago. The National Intelligence, the leading newspaper of Washington at that time, gave the following report of the event: "On Monday, after Thomas Jefferson had taken the oath of office as president of the United States, the oath of office was likewise administered to George Clinton as vice-president of the United States. After the delivery of the speech the president was waited on by a large assemblage of members of the legislature, citizens and strangers of distinction, and a procession was formed of the several mechanics engaged, which marched to military music, displaying with considerable taste the various insignia of the professions." Dr. Williams Osler of Baltimore, the famous medical specialist of John Hopkins, who set the country by the ears because of his assertions concerning the uselessness of men after they reach the age of 60, has the reputation among his brethren for getting the biggest fees for the least work of any man in the profession. A story which is current among Washington physicians is about a rich old man whose wife has been allying for months. All the local doctors had tried their hands without much result. The old lady had passed the allotted term of life, 70 years, and was suffering from the general breaking up of her vital organs. The old man, genuinely fond of his wife, thought the doctors did not know what that term meant when some one suggested the renowned physician of Baltimore he jumped at the chance. He telegraphed to Dr. Osler, but that learned gentleman was very hard and could not come. The distracted man wired again, telling Dr. Osler to leave his work and come no matter what the cost. The doctor The past was more prolific in the production of giants than the present, in 1830 one of these giants, who was exhibited at Rouen, was ten feet high, and the giant Galabra, brought from Arabia to Rome in the time of Claudius Caesar, was the same height. Fannum, who lived in the time of Eugene II, was eleven and one-half feet in height. The Chevalier Scerog in his journey to the Peak Tenerife found in one of the caverns of that mountain the head of a giant fish, and sixty teeth and who was not less than fifteen feet high. The giant Fargarus, slain by Orino, the nephew of Charlemagne, according to reports, was twenty-eight feet high. In 1834 near St. Gerland was found the tomb of the giant Iso lent, who was not less than thirty feet high. In 1590 near Rouen was "A charity machine," said the sailor, "stands in front of the house of Edison Murphy of Croydon. Any tramp that comes along can get a cent out of the machine.

An account more in detail was given in July by Augustus Foster. British minister in Washington at the time. In one of his letters home he said: "Don't know whether I have yet transmitted to you an account of the installation of the successor of Montezuma in last March. On the 4th he proceeded on horseback from the palace, which is of white stone and the largest building here, and attended by his secretary and groom, rope up the long avenue of Pennsylvania to the capitol, which is an unfinished rival in stone of the Roman building of that name, and dressed in black and silk stockings, delivered a speech of some length to a mixed assembly of senators, populace, representatives and ladies. It was too low spoken to be heard well. He then kissed the Book and swore before the chief justice to be faithful to the constitution; then bowed and retired as before. He received all, even toward the close he leveled, even toward the close he drowned in beer drunk his wine, and lailed upon his couches before us all. There was nothing dignified in the whole affair." -Birmingham Age-Herald. answered that it would require $100 to bring him to Washington on that particular morning and the old man wired: "All right; only come at once." The doctor arrived in due season and was met at the station by the husband to the drive to the house the doctor told the man ally that his fee must be paid in advance, and the cash was promptly produced. After listening to a few details of his patient's illness from the trained nurse, Dr. Osler was ushered into the sick room. He felt the woman's pulse, listen to the heart and took the blood from the arm and method. Then he went down stairs, where the husband was anxiously waiting for him. "The trouble with your wife," he answered coolly, as he carefully adjusted his gloves, "is that she is 70 years old. That is all." And he astonished man could get his breath, he heard the cab door bang and the doctor was on his way back to Baltimore. found a skeleton whose head held a bushel of corn and which was nine teen feet in height.

But France is not known where giants and elephants have been unrestricted. Near Palermo, Sicily, in 1516 was found the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high.

The boy is wearing a dark coat and pants, and the child is wearing a light-colored shirt and pants. The floor is covered with a rug, and there is a window in the background. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." remarked Hamlet to his friend. And this quotation from Shakespeare, which has become a stock saying, impresses the deep and widespread conviction of the vast mass of human beings in the face of the most aggressive materialism, mock merrily as it may. The ordinary man suspects that the skepticism is not more than skin deep. Years ago I remember there was an inhabitant of a Maine fishing town, who gave himself airs of superiority over his fellow sailors in the matter of ghosts. His name was commonly known as "Billy." He had read a little more than the rest, and a little knowledge is said to be a dangerous thing. He sneered and people naturally were annoyed. So it happened that Alfred Hicks, long coxswain of the lifebate at the port, a man of intelligence and much genial humor, was returning from a night rumble when just before dawn he saw a flicker of light in the downstairs window of Billy's cottage. Creeping up gently, Alfred peered through a pane and saw the knowing one endeavoring to light the fire. Drawing upon the most sepulchral quality of his lungs gave utterance to a thorough appaling sound, randomly articulating; the Billy"s. The skeptic gave one yell of horror and ran upstairs, never pausing till he had hidden a pallid face and trembling form beneath the bed clothes. All the village was edified by the graphic description promptly given of this incident by Alfred Hicks. Some Tales Are Exploded. Now, I am not going to suggest that all disbelievers in the supernatural are of the same caliber as Billy. Well do I know that, after the lamentable suicide of a former clergyman of a New England village, and when rumors that he walked at night got abroad, a noted doctor, trying to quench what he considered superstition, went down one evening to the parson's grave in the churchyard by the sea, and, sitting on the mound, lit his pipe as the clock struck 12. It is also true that a succeeding preacher professed to have heard loud and inexplicable noises proceeding from the attic in which the suicide occurred, but he observed: "As long as he keeps upstairs I don't mind." Some agnostically minded folk may have more nerve than others. Personally, I have heard a great many stories of what has been called the right side of nature, not told me for publication, but as strange experiences by friends and acquaintances of his honesty and good faith I have no reason whatever to question. I acknowl I know was residing with her uncle and aunt. The uncle was dangerously ill. One evening aunf and niece were sitting in a room downstairs in which was an old grandfather's clock which had not worked for years. Suddenly, without any ascertained cause, the weights of the clock began to go up and down, and the hands to go round till weights and hands stopped as suddenly as they had begun to move, at the hour of 7. The next evening, recently at the time indicated, the uncle died. My informant was quite clear as to the details of the incident. He was as honest and matter of fact a person as any that walks, and merely mentioned it in the course of private conversation as being strange. I am not going to argue the why and the wherefore here. That is impossible, because the only data I possess I have given. One Dream Which "Came True." The following occurred in a Boston suburban house in which resided a much respected middle class family. There were a father and mother and eight children, the paternal grandmother, an old lady, occupying a room upstairs at the top of the dwelling. A sturb woman, who came to work regularly at the house, arrived one Saturday morning full of a dream she had had on the previous night. She had seen the grandmother—"old lady" she A called her--get out of bed and toter towards the fireplace, where she fell. "Then," said she, "Master Charley came into the room; and seeing his grandmother, knelt down, put his hand under her head, and drew it away at once, for it was wet with blood." The scrub woman expressed herself in her own way; but I have given the substance of what she said. The family made merry over the whole affair and chaffed the scrub woman about her dream, and by the time she left them in the evening, owing to preoccupation with the day's duties, had forgotten all about the matter. After she had gone, however, "Master Charley," who had been out all day, came in and went upstairs to see his grandmother. On entering her room he was shocked to find her lying on the floor with her head against the center. Kneeling down, he put his hand under her head and then drew it quickly, for it was wet with blood. Charley Tells the Story. I had the whole story from "Master Charley's lups just after it occurred. He did not moralize about it. It struck him as strange, and he told me. And there it is to mock at or to laugh at. He was the grandmother never rallied from the shock, but died thirteen days later—Chicago Tribune. SOME MILLION YEARS AGO. Two Ornaments of Society Had Following Dialogue. Miss Yaya Cliffdweller was primping herself proudly before a mirror formed by a crystal spring. Though 30, this prehistoric belle was good to look upon, more especially with her hair tastefully smeared with cave bear oil and the wishbone of an ostrichosaurus stuck juntily through her nose. "Ah, Miss Yaya," exclaimed Chollywog Stonehatchet admiringly, "you look beautiful, and so young, so very young!" At this Miss Yaya burst into tears and coquettishly shied a rock at her admirer's head. "I know I look young," she pouted petulantly, "but I'm worrying about the future! I have a preamontition that a thousand acons from now some bald headed American professor will dig up my fossil remains and say to his class: "This lady was of the jurasic age!" "Where's the harm in that?" asked Stonehatchet innocently. "Harm!" shrieked Miss Yaya. "Do you know that the jurasic age covers a million years? The idea of exaggerating a lady's age in that manner!" But then the prehistoric maiden dimpled again sweetly when Stonehatchet, tactful society man that he was, concocted him with the reflection that scientists would not refer to her as an "old maid," but rather as a "bachelor girl."—New York Sun. Sold Her Chance to Win Out. One of the mourners in Washington on inauguration day was a woman who recently sold out her hotel on lower Pennsylvania avenue. The hotel had not been a profitable speculation, and when a stranger offered her a reasonable price for her lease and furniture she jubilantlyance to get out of the still existent bank account. That was in January. Last week when the local papers began to quote rates for windows along the route of the parade, she figured Defective Page out that had she held on for a couple of months she could have cleared something like $2,000 from the rental of the windows alone, to say nothing of the crowd which would have packed the hotel for the week preceding the festivities. And she was a Western woman who had never been in the capital during an inauguration accounted for her blunder. NEAT SCHEME OF REFORMER Bids Fair to Discourage Workers for "Charity." One of the addressing companies has a special list of names to which are sent all appeals for charity, says the New York Press. This includes the almost weekly receipt of tickets to unheard of affairs, to which the recipient is "invited" with the request to send $5 or $10 with his acceptance, or else return the tickets. Jones, who has spent several dollars in the past few years returning tickets he cannot afford to purchase, has gone on strike. A return envelope always accompanies the tickets, but it is never stamped. He slips the tickets into the unstamped envelope and drops it into the nearest mail box. In the course of time the postal authorities send the patroness a card notifying her that there is a letter addressed to her upon which the postage station has not been placed. As the letter may contain money, she as postage for the first, with the result that there is received a pair of tickets instead of the anticipated remittance. Jones hopes, in the course of time, to comply by discourage the practice. The Way to Do It. "Women generally go against their own best interests, don't they?" a blond girl asked reflectively, sipping a hot drink. Her companion at one of those cozy little tables in a down town shop little gave a chance to rest a few minutes after the matinee and talk over the play over a cup of chocolate, only smiled, and the blond one comedey at. "Do you see that little room? Madame over there came in her husband and a cross frame of mind a while ago. Perhaps it was a new hat she couldn't have, but, anyway, she wouldn't talk to him at all, and he made innumerable efforts to be pleasant. I was thinking what a goose she was, when another man came in—the one she is smiling at now. Both bowed to him and Madame's husband Invited him to their table, and Madame, for the sake of appearance, of course, she couldn't afford to be disagreeable before him—began to chat brightly. Chances are she really does not care a straw about this newcomer, but she is nice to him. If she had as much wisdom as I," continued the blonde, "she would have been as sweet to her husband—much more worth while."-Chicago Inter Ocean. A Strange Disease. Champ Clark tells of a conversation between two village gossips concerning a farmer who was very ill. One of them said: "The doctor told his wife this morning that he may live for some months, but he will never get well." "Did the doctor say what the disease was?" "Yes, he said the poor fellow has chronicles, and has 'em very bad indeed." "I never heard of the chronicles. I suppose it must be one of the lung diseases, ain't it?" "I don't know about that. He didn't say about any 'lung diseases'; only the lungs." "But where in the body is the chronicles?" "I dunno. The doctor said he has the chronicles in his chronicle tubes." Real Consideration. Mrs. Blank, coming suddenly into the hallway about 10 o'clock one evening, discovered Bridget on her knees with her eye to the keyhole of the drawing-room door. "Why, Bridget, what are you about?" she exclaimed, indignantly. "Don't you know my daughter has company." "An that's just it, mum!" was the somewhat reproachful reply. "I just wanted to make sure if I'd better knock before goin' in—it's time to be lookin' after the fireer." Rockefeller's Vast Wealth John D. Rockefeller's wealth in silver dollars would, some one has estimated, weight as much as two first-class battleships; in one-dollar bills it would make a double girdle around the earth and leave a remnant 1,500 miles long. Human Sacrifice In Ceylon The Man Worth Envying Meant for the Undertaker Wouldn't Break His Promise An Englishman writes in the St. James Manor of St. Petersburg prisons: "Yet more horrible than the fate of the workers murdered in the streets of St. Petersburg is the doom of those hapless men whom the tender mercies of the triumphant bureaucracy have consigned to the dark fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, and the inferno of the Schlussenburg in Lake Ladoga. Well may the inhabitants of St. Petersburg shudder as they glance beyond the Neva at the dark fortress whence, each hour, the north wind brings across the river the discordant sound of its melancholy bells. Melancholy, indeed, for nothing but memories of suffering and oppression sit upon its granite walls. Here Peter I tortured and mutilated his enemies. Here he slew his own son, Alexis, and to this dungeon, during the reign of the empresses, omitted his assigned aspiring rivals. And since then his actions of men and women for no other crime than love of their oppressed country have entered their gates oftentoin leave them no more. "A special refinement of the Russian prison system in the case of political prisoners and suspects is continued solitary confinement until, "A very grewsome—and, at the same time, a very inconvenient—scare is going the rounds in the northern suburbs of Colombo, in Kotahena and Mutal," says the Times of Ceylon in a recent issue. "According to a current rumor there is some insumurable difficulty in the building of the new Graving dock. Every stone and concrete block put down disappears, goodness knows where. Mr. Bostock has had experience of harbor works before, and, so says the man in the street, he knows what is to be done when stones and blocks disappear in that mysterious fashion. It is the work of the devil and the devil must be propitated by human sacrifice! There are 117 pillars to be built, says the man in the street, accordingly being the second man in Kotahena believes the story, and wives and mothers live in trepidation, let alone their husbands and brothers. Little children who go to school are waited for by their parents with the utmost anxiety, and the scare is working much distress. One awkward result of the scare is that servants will not go out after dusk. I envy him, who, with a bread of bread, Surveys the highest firmament of hope, Who yet can lift his beshenged head And lift his depths where kings in folly group; Who, in his rags, aspires to honor's worships and with in silence, with his soul.

Who will go Godward, from the moil of life. The while his hand is fettered to the palm. Who, from the furrow of the common Hath fixed his eye upon the astral plain. Who will like the spirit of the bird, Whose heart is void of bitterness and pain. I envy him. I envy him, who, with no gift of gold can bribe the favor of untoward Fate, Whose honor, truth and manhood are not to gain the key of Fortune's magic Who stands alone—above, apart, away Congressman Kyle of Ohio tells of an army officer who never was known to have "cold feet," but he was tender-footed, albeit not a "tenderfoot" in any sense of the word. He couldn't even wear socks, but he had scrached them, they rubbed and chafed his delicate cuticle. Wearing new socks all the time was exceedingly expensive; and he kept looking for cheaper socks all the time. Finally, he found a place where he could buy a dozen for $1.50, and he bought two dozen to begin with. Two days afterward, he limped into the place and threw down the bundle, saying, "We worn two pairs of those socks. Residents of Bangor, M.e., and those living within a radius of twenty-five miles of the city have heard or seen Daniel Tompson, known as "Old Dan" Tompson, or Bangor's giant. He was the tallest man without a doubt in that city, and always walked with a huge cane. "Old Dan" was not supposed by most people to be very bright. He made himself a privileged character about the city, walking at will into stores and other places of business of any kind, school houses and private residences. Dan called at a grocery store one day. He sometimes bought small articles there, and had paid for them, $2.40 PER YEAR. burg Bastiles as in the case of that splendid intellectual reformer, Dimirti Passarell, they can be reported as "harmless." Some prisoners here were relieved of their senses quite gently and almost politely. They were shut up in comfortable cells well lit by electric light and for mental pabulum they were supplied with only religious and technical works. When insanity or suicide supervised the appointed end had been secured. But the doom of others presents even greater features of horror. Imagine a dark, damp cell, measuring about 10 by 6 feet, beneath the level of the surrounding waters, in which the chained man or woman is condemned to lie in absolute idleness, studiously isolated from any intercourse with human beings. "For ten minutes every second day the miserable wretch is allowed to see the light and breathe the air in the prison yard. For the rest intolerable loneliness, absolute silence, occupation of not the smallest kind; no books, no writing materials, no instruments of manual labor. Madness comes to such gradually with the passing years. In the majority of cases the mind rots slowly in the enfeebling body. Suicide and madness are the two great weapons in which Russian autocracy puts its trust." "In days gone by big no work was undertaken, they say in a whisper, unless what is known as billa was paid. The folklore of the country is steeped with stories of the paying of billa. It is firmly believed by the laymen that the army sacrificed in the building of tanks and of dagobas in ancient days. It is believed that the tunnels through which the railway line runs all had bills paid before their construction. The souls of these men enter other bodies and in the course of the transmigration of those souls they become snakes. These snakes are the guardian angels of many a public work and hence the army has to destroy a snake found in a house. "So it is firmly believed that Mr. Bostock is in league with the devil and has got a number of faithful Afghans to procure the necessary men for immolation by a very simple contrivance. A little white powder is on the little, and they powder is followed the Afghans, and their powder is on the dungeon. Several are said to have been taken in that way already and stories of losses continue to increase from day to day."

They have scams down the soles, and almost kill me." "But, they are not intended to be worn, as I supposed you knew very well," was the reply of the dealer. "What, then, were they made for?" inquired the captain. "Ain't you an undertaker?" was the serious inquiry. "Certainly not," was the indignant reply. "I am an army officer." "Then I was mistaken in my customer," blandly answered the dealer, "I supposed you were an undertaker. All dead people are buried with socks on; and the undertakers buy that brand." but this day he wanted a sack of flour, and he said, following his peculiar method of repeating: "I can't pay to pay; can pay to pay; pay next time I come in; pay next time I come in." They let him have the flour, more as an experiment than for profit. One or two months went by and Dan did come in. One day the man who sold him the flour met him on Main street. "Hullo Dan," said he, "when are you going to pay for that flour? Didn't you say you'd pay next time you came in?"

"The race question has come home to New York republicans in a very polignant manner and with a dull, sleeking thud. That is the problem of Charles W. Anderson, an Afro-American, to be collector of internal revenue for the second district of New York, and Anderson has been prominent in republican politics in New York city for many years. He has been the valiant adjunct of the republican machine. He had earned the appointment. In the past he has been a modest, retiring worker, taking his reward in the increments of office and not obtruding himself, in the appointment, however. Anderson has made himself very conspicuous in all republican gathering. The Fifth Avenue Hotel, as everyone knows, is the Mecca of all New York republicans. The cafe of the hotel finds the most noted republicans, and the most prominent of its counter from time to time. "Anderson, who is a rather truncated personage, has presented himself at the café counter and has been served. Probably he figured that this was republican headquarters, and that he was as good a republican, with the President's commission as any body. At any rate his appearance loss caused a great deal of talk. Southern men who sometimes drop in in the Fifth Avenue are given to tainting their New York friends, and openly say that they are very glad to have his object lesson presented of the appointment of an Afro-American to office and his assumption of social equality." The above is by "N. O. M." in the Washington Star, and is a desirable emanation from the "black heart" of a member of the "superior race" and is as devoid of truth as the writer is of common sense and manly humane attributes; and is written with malicious and devilish intent. Mr. Anderson has for years made Fifth Avenue Hotel his headquarters; and, his face is as familiar to the patrons as the proprietors; and, because "N. O. M." happened to see Mr. Anderson there on his first visit to the hostelry, and was himself opposed to his presure anyone else was. Then, Fifth Avenue Hotel is a public house in which any citizen of New York and of the United States has a constitutional right to appear and receive the same treatment that any other citizen is accorded for the same price. Mr. Anderson is not truculent in any sense of the word and has no need to be. He is sought to fill honorable intellectual stations that "N. O. M." is incapacitated by nature to fill. "N. O. M." (which must stand for, nemo obscurius minimis) shows that the "social equality" bug bear has scared the few wits he had out of his head. There is no such thing as social equality any more than there is a fool killer. Which latter statement is verified by "N. O. M." being still above the sod. And, Mr. Anderson would doubtless feel very much offended if he was asked to accept as a social equal such a thing as "N. O. M." Mr. Anderson has not had his head turned by his appointment if he had that effect on "N. O. M." To use a slang phrase "non (c) omus mentis" ought to, "go soak his head." The Frederick Douglas Memorial Exposition of North America will be held in Washington, D. C., commencing on the 13th of September and closing October the 26th, 1995.

The correspondent at Tokio of the Daily Telegraph sends to his paper the story of the volcanic throwing up in the last days of December of a new island in the Sea of Japan, three miles south of Iwo. The island has been named Nushima. It is nearly two and three-fourths miles in circumference and is 480 feet above sea level. How is it possible to keep down a nation upon which Nature lavishes her gifts? The Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church has gone on record against the proposed amendment to the constitution of Maryland, restricting the suffrage in that state. The resolution was adopted by a large majority. NO MINGLING WITH RUSSIANS. Poles Hold themselves Rigidly Aloof From Their Conquerors. Hugo Ganz in his book on Russian writes as follows of the relations existing between the Russian officials and the Poles: "They remain separate, like oil and water. The Russian, even though he is the master, is of no consequence here. It is only necessary to observe that all persons from the corner of the elegant dining room of the hotel the behavior of the Polish society and the complete isolation of the Russian officers or officials; it is only necessary to be able to distinguish the groups from one another—the Baltic nobility with their almost bourgeois families, merchants from all the principal countries, Russian functionaries and Polish society—and it will at once become clear who is at home here because all others become strangers and intruders; it is the Poles and the Poles alone." Vodka the Bane of Russia Vodka the Bane of Russia. It is well known that the Russian people are extremely slow in all their movements, which has been attributed to many causes. The latest writer on the subject places the blame on the national intoxicant in question, asserting that it produced lasting and inimpenating effects, should the tippier be fortunate enough to sober up before a week has passed, the slightest rapid movement will reproduce an excellent duplicate of the original. As the Russian government derives a large revenue from the sale of vodka, there is a stringent law against getting twice drunk on one spree, and as a consequence citizens must exercise caution. The famous Russian baths were constructed at a great expense both for punitive measures and as a means of putting the consumer again in the ranks. Joke on Paris Pedestrians Joke of Paris Pedestrians. A gold piece gave amusement to a crowd. In Paris street recently. The former coin was placed on the pavement, and lay untouched for an hour and a half before it was picked up by an old woman who carefully placed it in her reticule, despite the derisive cheers accorded her. An American then placed a 20-frame piece ($4) on the ground. As pedestrian after pedestrian passed without seeing it, they were startled by the uproarlons laughter from doors and windows. They were startled and then hurried away. The lois was to last picked up by a beut and feeble old man, who hobbled off with his treasure amid enthusiastic cheers. No China Made at Dresden. None of the chinaware, it is said, that is sold as Dresden china is made in Dresden. In the course of a lawsuit in London, in which a firm was prosecuted for selling ware as Dresden and marking the goods as such, it was stated that no china is manufactured in Dresden. The name is applied to the products of the royal factory at Meissen. Many pottery decorators at Dresden work upon china that is manufactured at different places. it is transferred to that city, receives its imprint and is then disposed of as Dresden china. "Time to burn—keep the devil's furnace burning." Mr. Reid says: "This Political History that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred from a lifelong familiarity with and study of the history of unpublished information from access to much unpublished information, and from access to the records of Governor Brough, in the records of the state office held during a critical period in the history of the state's communication with some of the actors." Again: "As time goes on fuller justice is being applied to the bodies by which a free people enlarged the bounds of freedom, to communities and Anglo-Saxon magnes for the correction of wounds and the better development of the state." The history of Greely first among public educators, to Chase and Seward, Stanton and Welsh first among legislators and cabinet ministers, to the superior of them all, and certainly the most capable politician of the list. Abraham In Chapter I, the author says: "If there is one thing clearly established, it is that the Constitution, which was formed the Constitution; who, recognizing that such an institution was inconsistent with the great principles of civil liberty for which the colonies had contended, was a public, refined from inserting in it that great charter a name so repulsive to free-market principles, persecutive witnesses, the public sentiment of that day. There was no state feeling that it was injurious to society was in no sense dependent upon sectional identity, and consequently confidently expected, emancipation was to be the rule. This came early north of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to believe that the African slave trade, emancipation would have followed in Delaware, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee." "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its sinfulness and from economic and social reasons. It was opposed with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because it was important as his, or succumbed to the violence of political forces; while that having its source in religious feelings played a major role in the third party. The Society of Friends led all other denominations in the employment of the priesthood, and not wanting outspoken enemies in the Baptist and Methodist churches at an early time, especially in Ohio, Kentucky and Missouri." CIVIL WAR TIMES Civil War Times. By Daniel Walt Howe, author of the *British Republic* 1150, Indianapolis: Dobbs Merrell Co. The war of 15-11 will never cease—at least perennial and never falling topic of absorbing interest. This is so. because it seems those giants still survive its velsidates; its hair breathtakes escapes, and the imminent warfare of the warful murals; its Gettyburg and Chickamauga; because the finale of that conquest of the world; because its echoes still reverberate in all the various activities of the world; because its echoes still reverberate in all the various activities of the world. Because of these things the author's interests, increasing, can read with ease; with depth and many details of the great strife which has hitherto unwritten, is brought forth for Mr. Howe. One of the most interesting chapters in the history of the Confederacy toward the "Xegro Soldier." The author tells us that, during the Confederacy, the Confederate man favored the enlistment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally decided; that the Confederacy bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—that of the coronation Hunter, that was the first Confederate to cause the Confederacy to see so visible that the leaders were forced to cause a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederacy, made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand. The Confederacy especially interest at under its banner. There are other very interesting chapters and the natural and clear, unimproved, and the author has written instructively. HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1871. History of the Commune of 1871. Translated from the French of Lissagary by Eleanor Marx Avelling, New York University. "History of the Commune of 1871" translated from the French of Lissagary by Eleanor Marx Avelling, New York University. ten volume of history, dealing with one of those political convulsions: which have often shook France to itsfoundation. The translator has performed the difficult translation of the grammatical and pointed style of all French prose, and of Lissagary appears in the descriptive art of the author never lags from the opening to the closing pages, and this book of extraordinary happenings. strategists Von Moltke In reading certain chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolutions of the Revolution were again being carried out and elsewhere throughout the country. The events which led up to the war in Germany are thus described by the author. "Bismark prepared the war, Napoleon III, wanted it, the great bourgeois looked the way. They had stopped he an enormous grief, he himself with a grimace. He saw in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible loss. He knew the loss, united the Left, the tiers-tiers, the journalists have made palpable to them the force of the attack, and suppressed it. He said the Tulleries, to Paris if needs be, "War is impossible; we shall combat it as treatise." Poor France! We will save the诉: The humble, the poor, those who for six While the upper classes sell the nation for a few hours of rest, and the liberals demand a more militaristic empire, a handful of men, without arms, unprotected, rise up against the still-powerful despot. On the one hand young liberals pay their respect to the people, faithful children of the Revolution; on the other hand working men unite for the study and conquest of the empire, prepare attempts to split their forces, to destroy the workingmen. They follow up with a description of the terrific political struggle the contending parties have undergone, finallyburying horrors of the Community. Hardies, Toolhouse and Narbent soon to be converted into veritable human slaughter houses, in this fratricidal struggle the contending parties have checked violence finds few counterparts in the history of the human family. These have hitherto been obscure to the student of that period are brought to the student of the history of the human family. Author of a Literary or historical viewpoint is an achievement of no inconsiderable merit. MONEY, BANKING, AND FINANCE Bolles's Money, Banking and Finance.

HENRY WARD REECHER. Henry Ward Beecher. By Lyman Abbott. $1.75. boston. and New York. Boston. Dr. Abbott made the acquaintance of Beecher in 1831, and was a close and intimate friend. He attended Dr. Beecher's church in Brooklyn, and is thus well qualified to be a great preacher. The book is therefore not so much a history of the life of Beecher as a biography of great character as he appeared to Dr. Abbott. The career of Beecher as an anti-slavery leader is of great interest. During the period, he tells in five chapters, full of historical matter of the utmost value. Of especial importance is the chapter on Beecher in England in 1863. He reached London in the continent, his intention from a sea-port, before sailing for New York. But fate prior to his arrival was the pathy of the English people, more especially the aristocratic and moneyed class. ANTISEMITISM. Antisemitism. by Bernard Lazare, Translated from the French. Voe. pp. 102-103. *The Jewish World* International Library Publishing Co. Recent events in Russia have given the author a new translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many times. The most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and subject to all the rules of his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased his judgment in the forming of his book, with great candor, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found with great candor, and the blame is distributed with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest short The treatment given the subject is historical. In successive chapters the reader is trained from the earliest times. Perhaps the reader will be most surprised to learn how much service has been given to our people appropriately to their brews and their neighbors. From this book we learn about their lives. From this book we would, perhaps, willingly admit. The author does not believe in race on language, share of the head, or color of the skin. So long, however, as the author has written, that there is superiority on the one part and inferiority on the other part. And that there is superiority on the one part and inferiority on the other part and Gentile as well as between black and white. There are too many illustrative examples of the country, and this book can be read with profit by many who are called upon to decide questions daily; arising here. FORMS OF ENGLISH POETRY.

Charles Bilderbeck, Mrs. Sarah Bilderbeck and Frank Bilderbeck were arraigned Wednesday on the charge of chicken stealing. It was alleged that the quartette, who reside on Third avenue south, made a practice of robbing the hen roosts of the Eighth ward. Frank Bilderbeck pleaded guilty and the others not guilty. It is alleged that the men stole the poultry and the women dressed the fowls for market. Judge Smith found the entire family guilty. Mrs Sarah Bilderbeck was given a 10-day suspended workhouse sentence; her son was given a 90-day sentence, a daughter was given 60 days and a minor was suspended reformatory sentence. In passing it might be nothing amiss to say the chicken stealers are white. Pencils in Schools. Something that children need to be warned about is the exchange of pencils and the wetting of the latter in the mouth, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. The spread of diphtheria in a school has often been traced to this cause. Pencils may become infected by being kept in one box, so that now careful teachers, in collecting pens or pencils, see to it that each child's writing material is kept separately in manila envelopes, while slates, pencils and sponges are interdicted together.

Pephaps the strangest of all animal concerts is that which is sometimes given by a party of alligators. As a rule, these giant reptiles are sluggish, and almost torpid. In cold weather, indeed, they will sleep in the mud for months together. But on a hot summer's night they get excited, and begin to bellow—twenty, fifty, perhaps even a hundred of them all lifting up their mighty roar together. And then even the cries of the howlers dwindle away into utter insignificance. It is all very well, Bobby Burns, to declare That you wish that the power wad give us The gifftie see our curious selves In the light that lither folk see us. But matthinks were the sight so wished for vouchsafed. We would some of us die of the shock. While opticians and slick in a week would And smoked glasses would be out of stock! - New York Herald.
