THE FIELD OF LITER ATUEE

New Hooka. "Massage, " by Dr. Geo. IL Taylor, of New York, is a treatise on the method of treating diseases known as mechanical massage. The author claims a good deal for it To quote, he says: "Mechanical massage causes physiological oxidation at will, and to almost any desired extent The increased oxygen taken from respired air is employed throughout the system to neutralize unused, obstructive, unstable and injurious materials, from whatever source. The same agent, more than any other, incites muscular nutrition and restores the natural functions of these important organs. It relieves the nervous system of undue irritability and waste; it causes sleep and harmonizes the nervous relation of the vital organism." Perhaps the best result of the system is that it tends to prove the great value of muscular exercise and the superiority of nature to all artificial remedies. Published by John B.

Miss Holly's books do not meet with the commendation of the critics; they are not recognized as literature, but nevertheless they enjoy a wonderful popularity. They are liked for their humor, their sharp hits, their shrewd comments and their sound common sense, and expressed in the homeliest terms. When the author drops her usual style and becomes poetie and eloquent, as in her beautiful eulogy of General Grant, the reader wonders why she does not apply her talents to the production of a higher order of fiction; but perhaps in such case the moral lessons she inculcates so skillfully by this method would lose in effectiveness.

One who has seen the early pages, says of this remarkable work that it "Is undoubtedly one of the most comprehensive and accurate personal histories ' of that great promoter of the general democratic movement of modern times, and also a capital record of the notable chapter in spiritual evolution." Mr. Frank R. Stockton's sequel to "Mrs. Leeks and Mrs. Aleshine" will be called "The Dusantes," and it is authoritatively announced that the new story will thoroughly and satisfactorily dispose of Mrs. Leeks, Mrs. Aleshine and other old friends, and will, moreover, tell all about the famous but so far invisible family whose name it bears.

GLADSTONE DURING THE REBELLION. The Causes that Impelled Htm to Favor the South and Its Cause. London Special to Chicago Times. The sneer of the London Times at Mr. Gladstone in connection with the invitation to attend the Constitutional centennial at Philadelphia is bitter, because it is founded on truth. "We should hardly select Mr. Blaine to represent the United States if an English celebration were in question" is well designed to remind the American people that in the hour of their agony Mr. Gladstone was as open a foe of the North as Mr. Blaine is of the despotism of England toward Ireland. Tne moment is opportune for a perfectly candid statement of Mr. Gladstone's opinions concerning the American Union during the civil war and his conduct toward it. There is no reason why the whole truth should not be told. It ought to be told fearlessly and at once, in justice to Mr. Gladstone. When it is fully known and comprehended, no American, not condemned to blind fanaticism, can really censure him. Of Gladstone it must be said, in a sense higher than it is true of any other statesman of any age, that he is an intellectual and moral growth in politics. A man is not blamable for his birth or his inheritance. Gladstone's father was an English trader who included human beings among his chatties Sir John Gladstone followed commerce with the love of a sailor for the sea. He was one of the nine-tenths of the English nation who believe that the hizbest object of statesmanship under the British crown is to make money under the British flag. Real property is not the only entail under British institutions. Most men in the House of Lords are there because their fathers made it compulsory that they should keep their estates and inevitable that they should transmit their opinions. Gladstone was born with prejudices, becoming the son of a slave owner and trader. He made his. entrance into public life now fifty-five years ago with the legitimately acquired baggage of a Tory. Almost . his first speech of note was against the emancipation of slaves. It is quibbled for him now that he opposed only immediate and unconditional emancipation. The fact is, he was speaking'for the vested rights of men of his father's class. He wanted compensation for their human property, and $100,000,000 was appropriated to settle the claims of the British slave-holders of Jamaica, This moral inheritance aroused a kind of diminishing entail upon Gladstone's mind, and he was not free from it when the great conflict between the South and the North reached its actual crisis. He did. indeed, array himself with fine periods upon the side of human freedom. So the ministry of which he was a member arrayed itself upon the eide of strict neutrality. But the old slave trafficking, commercial inheritance was as subtly active in the son of Sir John Gladstone as the hatred of republican institutions was energetic in the conduct of the Russell Cabinet The man instinctively sympathized with the South. The ministry openly boasted that the 'bubble of republicanism was burst" A second reason why it was certain that Mr. Gladstone should sympathize with the South is to be found in his political economy. Whatever he believes he honestly, vehemently and powerfully advocates. The free-trade progress of England rested chiefly on its annually swelling commerce with the Southern States. To keep the South a purely agricultural country was essential to the manufacture and commerce of Great Britain. The development of the protective policy in America was distinctively Northern. It was accepted in England as dangerous to British interests. The Southern politicians were without exception free-traders. It was as much the interest of the slave-owners to keep native manufactures out of the Republic as it was the interest of England that they should be forbidden. The cheap manufactures of England in exchange for the cotton of the South was all that either wanted. It was enough to insure perpetual content in Great Britain and perpetual political supremacy for the South in the control of the Republic. In Gladstone's judgment the Northern advocates of the protective policy were heretics, returning to a falsa dogma which time had exploded, and for which, as he saw it in the creed of Manchester, not a solitary sound argument could be adduced. Therefore he considered the northern statesmen inferior, intellectually, to the freetraders of the South. Intellectual conviction as well as selfien interest allied him with them. History has justified his fears. The cotton famine which ensued upon the opening of hostilities ruined for years the manufacturing centers of England devoted to the cotton plant, and with the growth of American manufactories and the destruction of the English monopoly the British toiler has remained one of the poorest paid and worst housed of his kind on the civilized globe. There was a third reason why Mr. Gladstone, as well as the mass of the reading public in En-, eland, should have sympathized with the South. It is instinctive in human nature to be on the side of the probable winner. All the news agencies of the time were on the side of the South. It was British interest that the South should win. . The new collectors were only British agents. There was no Atlantic cable. The London press was a unit on the side of the British manufacturer. The correspondents knew too well what news was welcome, and they sent it. A conspiracy for falsehood, now incredible, existed by common connivance of publishers and correspondents. Mr. Gladstone read what all his countrymen read, and he believed the London Times when he said that Jefferson Davis had created an army, and a navy and a nation. How worthy of that journal now to taunt him with the folly of having credited its own columns. Was Mr. Gladstone to blame because he could not discern this conspiracy of the English press to distort, deny and delay the facts of the American war? If there was to be another great state on the American continent, and that state were to build its foundation on the closest possible commercial alliance with Great Britain, was the Chancellor of the Enchequer to be blind, and deaf, and dumb in its behalf? Above all else, Mr. Gladstone is an Englishman. To him it was patriotism to sympathize with the South, that was to send England cotton and buy only English manufactures. It was more than patriotism: it was commen sense. Moreover, he was courageous and straightforward in so' doing at a time when his colleagues in the Cabinet were secretly exerting every influence at their command to in j ore the North, while officially they were uttering the language of diplomatic hypocrisy. These three reasons his family history represented in his instincts; his free-trade theory, demanding the American market for English manufactures, and his dependence on self-polluted wells of information about the progress of events would have made any man in Mr. Gladstone's situation at that time, a sympathizer with the South. He has, moreover, frankly- acknowledged that he was ignorant as well as prejudiced. When the truth is all told, it is clear that Mr. Gladstone is preeminently tho Englishman to be invited to the constitutional centennial at Philadelphia. For he is the first Englishman to own that he wronged the republic through ignorance. He is the first to apply to British politics the principles of equality and freedom which the experience of the republic has approved for all the world. Danger of the Gas Meter. The Engineer. The meters which gas companies iatrodnce into our houses are put together with solder that melts at a low degree of heat WLen a tire originates near a gas meter the beat very soon causes it to fall apart, and the unchecked flow of gas from the influent pipe quickly fills the premises with a roaring and devastating fame. After every fire, when there is a total loss of the building, a blazing stream of gas roars on beneath falling walls and debris, until measures are taken to stop the supply of gas from the street mains. With these facts before everybody's eyes, it seems stranpe that co attempt is made to have meters differently constructed, or some way devised to prevent the loss that necessarily results from the present state of things. S30,0OO,00O l'er Year. New York Mail and Express. "How much money do Americans spend in Europe annually in European trips!" This question was asked of a steamship agent yesterday by a reporter, and the answer almost took the questioners breath away. , "Fifty millions, I should say would not be too great a figure to place the sum at," said the agent. "The averaee number of Americans who cross the ocean annually is about 100,000. The cost to each one will average, say $500. There you have your $50,000,000. It is all money, too. and only such a nation as this could stand such a drain. We are a great people and ne mistake." - . Further West than Indiana.

Biggs, on behalf of the citizens of Warsaw and the Warsaw Summer Resort Association welcomed the visit ors, and President Garber very appropriately responded. It was ordered that as there were some breaks in the programme on account of the absence of two persons to whom topics had been assigned, three sessions should be held to-day, which wonld exhaust the programme and obviate the necessity of a session to-morrow. Mr. W. H. Smith, Indiana correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette, read a paper on "What I Know About Country Newspapers," in which he discussed the shortcomings of the country editors and complimented their merits. Mr. C. W. Stivers read a paper on "Country Journalism," which was meaty with suggestions, and was well received. The convention then adjourned and the members and ladies were taken around Center Lake on a steamboat, after which a magnificent dinner was served at the Lafceside Park restaurant, by the Warsaw Summer Resort Association. The afternoon session opened with a, general discussion of the papers read in the forenoon by W. H. Smith and C W. Stivers, of the Liberty Herald. It was participated in generally. The discussion of "The Local Newspaner as a Moral Agency," was led by Capt. J. B. Conner, of the Indiana Farmer. A. M. Hardy, of the Edinburg Courier, followed with the discussion of the question, "Is Neighborhood Correspondence or Value to a Newspaperi" T. P. Keator and Benj. S. Parker following.
