away into the lake, and, on account of its darkened color, can be seen . In the lake for many miles. What I saw to-day may have heen the hull of a vessel, but for all , I could make out It might Just as easily (have been a mass of thin, blackened snow floating in the lake. I saw no sign of life about it. and nothing that I could sec looked like human beings. If the tugs in the Calumet had been able to get out at the time the thins was in full view they could have settledi the question whether It was tho Chlcora or not in a short time. Before the tugs sent from the city had time to get there the wreck, if wreck it Mas, toad disappeared." During the day there was great excitement In South Chicago. Hundred climbed to the tops of their houses in order to get a view of what they believed to be the wreck of the Chlcora. Along the shore as far as One-hundredth street the crowds stood in the bitter cold wind and the blinding snowstorm, . which began irt the latter part of tho afternoon. When it began to grow dark a crowd of several hundred on the 'chore at Ninety-eighth street built a huge beacon flro in the hope of attracting the attention of the people on the supposed wreck, if any of them were living. All sorts of rumors were circulated through the town,1 and scores of persons couldi be found who saw, or said they saw, living men on the wreck and walking about on . the ice which surrounded it. Some had counted the men. and the number varied from fifteen to thirty-five, or thirteen more than the crew and passengers of the missing steamer. There were some who said they had seen the men on the wreck making signals, and had even heard shots fired or, an appeal for help. None of these stories could oe verified, and they were totally t variance with the testimony of the police and tug men and others who had watched the floating object through glasses. Captain Consaul, of the tug boat Frotec- . tlon. which went In search of the blackened object seen two or three miles out in the lake off South Chicago, said that when the tug boat had reached a point six rnues from shore off the Hyde Park crib, the crew Sighted an object about three mi'cs furtr.oi Jno the lake which ho thci ght might be the hull of the ill-fated steamer. They proceeded about two miles toward the object when it was seen that what had the appearance of the hull of a boat, was only a drift of ice. Hundreds of sea gu'.ls were flying about tho iceberg, and these from a distance looked like human beinea moving about. The Protection then changed Its course southeast and for over two hours it ploughed through ice in search of the hull of the Chlcora, but nothing resembling it '' could be seen except drift ice. The- tug Calumet, Captain Miner, also went in search of the lost boat, but found nothing to Indicate that the Chlcora was in tho ice, ar.d the conclusion is reached that drifts of ice had been mistaken for a beat end seagulls for the crew. ' A report is, however, in circulation. co:ning from Miller, Ind., to the effect that pome persons at that place not only saw the wreck, but could make out the name Chlcora, but this was not verified. Excitement at Benton Harbor. BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Feb. 3,rThls isjitire community la in a feverish state of excitement over tho reported sighting of i' the Chlcora. Large crowds have thronged every place where any knowledge of the report could be obtained. Hundreds of peo- ' . pie are anxiously awaiting particulars. If ifhe report is verified special trains will be went from here to the rescue. The following telegram was receive! by .1. H, Graham this evening from H. F. Heath, dated "South Chicago, 7:35 p. m.:" "Just returned from Whiting. Parties there report seeing wreck at 4 o'clock, with , tug working to get to it. At 6:30 the tug was still there. As it is snowing it is thought they must have found the boat , to keep them out after dark." At 11 o'clock to-night the reports of finding the Chlcora are not verified. The " excitement Is subsiding here, a feeling of rloubt and gloom taking trie place of the liope aroused by earlier dispatches. The whole community has been greatly aroused. So further tidings are anticipated to-night. THE "EARTHLY PARADISE."

'. BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 3. The tig Front-street Theater was filled this morning and evening, mainly by workingmen. , assembled to hear Congressman Simpson, of Kansas, tell of tho "Earthly , Paradise.' Mr. Simpson said, during his discourse: "I do not believe in strikes. ; In rhy opinion they give no real relief to the working people. I believe that the working people, when they have a grievance, should watch and wait patiently until election day, and then right their wrongs at the ballot-box. The land question is the main one of tie ; times. That is, after all, the real evil of the times. It is the wealth-producing element. You have the evil here In the East greater than in the Wrest, where we have , so much virgin so.l. In the East land monopoly is the curse. I am a strong Populist on the land question, although I am not in favor of many of the other principles cf the Populist party." OBITUARY. 1 Sergt. John T.

Rue de Marlgnan, the street In which the Canrobert residence is situated, was guarded by sailors and deputations from various regiments, while the route to the Hotel des Invalldes was lined with troops of the Paris garrison, under the command of General Saussier, m.litary governor of the capital. The funeral car, which was richly decorated, was drawn by six horses. The coffin was covered with the tri-color. Generals B.lot, Negrier, Jamont and Boisdeffre and Adm.rals Duperre and Rieunier were the pallbearers. The, band of the Republican Guard played a funeral march. A salute of seventeen guns announced the starting of the procession to the Hotel des Inval.des. The son of Marshal Canrobert was the principal mourner. He walked directly behind the hearse and was followed by the Ministers and a large number of generals a,nd officials. Along the entire route there w2? dense crowd, all the members of which stood in respectful silence, with bared heads, as the funeral car passed, slowly along.

In the church were representatives of President Faure, Queen Victoria and other sovereigns. Cardinal Richard, Archbishop of Paris, attended the services, but the cure of the parish celebrated mass. On the completion of the mass the coffin was removed from the catafalque and taken Ut the court of honor adjoining the church. Here General Zurlinden, Minister of War, delivered an oration.

ALLEN'S CONSTITUENT.

He Was Overcome by the Severe Demands of the. Civil Service. Washington Post. He was a polite negro, with a large eye expressive of a natural, flow of language and a face as black a3 a raven's wing. He wanted to see Congressman John Allen, of Mississippi, and sent in his card at the west lebby door. In due course of time the member came out. He cast a piercing look at the sender of the card, who approached him with an. obsequious bow, holding his hat in his hand. "Sah," said the colored man. with a bland smile, "I is one of yah constituents. Brown is my name Hiram Brown, sah." "Ah," said the Congressman, bowing stiffly, "what can I do for you?" "Well, sah," said the darky, "I wants to git a gov'ment position, sah, If you will kindly lend me yah valylble ah-sistance, and I come all the way :to Washington to see yah about it, sah." , "Oh, indeed. Under the civil service or what?" "I doan't kyah, sah, whether it's, under de sahvice or not, just so I git a good and reliable appintment, sah, whah I can sappote myself wid becomin' dignity." "Do you know anything about astraphyslology, metereology, conchology or biology? Can you go back to the paleozoic age and demonstrate in technical terminology, the anthropology, fauna or goology of that eooch? Can you dissect the petrodactyl or the ichthyosaurus of the glac.ai per.oa? Caa you reconstruct for the edification of a profound professor of buggology the blbative saurians that were seen by early nav.gators in the dim dawn of the brazen age?" The darkey stepped two paces to the rear and stared. "I say you can do these things off hand on cross-examination, without drawing a breath or stopping to think?" continued Allen. "If not, go back to your district and pray for the return of another era of Democratic sovereignty, with a ' President pledged to the repeal of the civil-service act Hiram had been listening with openmouth astonishment, and a look that settled Into an expression of deep awe; the sweat broke upon his ebony countenance. He slowly pulled! a red bandana from his coat-tail pocket and wiped his reeking brow as the Congressman paused. .IJ-iguess, sah," he stammered, with an embarrassed smile creeping back into h s face, "I guess, sah, dem queshuns is specially intended foh young oullud pussons dat hab got dar edyuschun in a college. I was bawn too soon." . . And he walked away with a profound salam, showing his respect for superior learn' ng. while Allen resumed his congressional labors with a stem look of duty. Don Quixote Gresham. Baltimore American. , Secretary Gresham is at his old tricks. : No amount of experience appears to dull his ardor for untimely interferftr.ee in the affairs of other countries. Hawaii, Japan, Turkey and Samoa have in turn been the victims of this modern Don Quixote's fiery zeal, and now the people of Mex'co are protesting and President Diaz is snubbing the Secretary with what grice he can muster. The Mexicans believe implicitly that they are in the rigrht concerning the Guatemalan boundary, and the facts, ps well as previous admissions of the Guatemalan government, seem to bear out their contentions. They are not very anxious for war, but they are very tired of the persistent nagging of the Guatemalans government, and believe that a show of force will compel the Guatemalans to abandon their preposterous claim and settle the dispute. This seems to be the opinion of outsiders as well, and it is a misfortmi3 that Secretary Gresham has been un?ble to control his chronic weakness for interjecting himself into foreign controversies at the wrong moment and in the wrong way. Dissolution of a Trast. TRENTON, N. Feb. 3. The Sanitary Ware Manufacturers' Association, an organization embracing all sanitary ware potteries in the United States, except one, has dissolved.

This finally resulted in the Trenton potters" syndicate openly making a cut of 331-3 per cent., expecting to force, the ether manufacturers to sue for peace. The war was kent up until there had been made" a total reduct'pn of Z"Va per cent, in the selling price of santary ware in one year. All claim to be operating at a loss. The sanitary manufacturers came together a day or two a.gi, but could come to no agreement as to ie-estaM'shing old prices.

GOV. ALTGELO EXPLAINS.

He Did Not Demand Loans from Treasurers of , Asylums. SPRINGFIELD. 111., Feb. 3.-Governor Altgell gave out the following interview regarding sensational stories of the removal of the treasurers of Lincoln and Anna asylums, it being claimed that they were removed because they would not loan him money. "No treasurer,"' said he. "has been removed, nor is there a word of truth in all this talk, and if you will think a moment you will see the absurdity of it. If I wanted to use putlic funds I would not have ordered all of the surplus in the possession of the various institutions turned into the State treasury. Those were in the nanas or men whose appointment I could control, and all of whom are very friendly. But I refuaei to take a cent of the State's ' money and ordered every dollar turned back into the treasury, amounting to several hundred dollars. I did borrow $500, not of Foley, but of the Lincoln National Bank, In which Foley was only $10,000 of stock, the bank being practically owned and controlled by a man who is a very strong Republican. The loan drew 6 per cent. Interest and was for only forty days, and waa on first-class security upon which. I had borrowed from Chicago banKS before. It was purely a business transaction. No on was asked or authorized to indorse for me. Some days before the note matured my man asked the bank wnetnttr il wouiri De convenient to extend half of the note for a short time, but stated tnat if not convenient ne would pay it all. The bank replied that it would not be convenient, so ne paid the note and interest. This was all, arid I thought no more about it. The bamc was under no obligations to me, and I expected no favors of it. "4 he tiouotu an grows uut of the fact that xor the first t.me in the history of tho State, I am compelling treasurers to pay interest. Where they Keep tneiunds in a bank in Lincoln, there are rival ban .s, alsa rival Democratic factions and much bitterness, iwo years ago we were annoyed with a fight to get control of tne asylum funas. Final y Foiey was appointed treasurer. Afterwards, we got the law passed requiring all custodians of public funas to pay" interest. Foley, having been appointed before the law was passed, claimed to.be exempt, and although hi bad large sums on hand which he kept tn a bank, ha did not pay a cent of interest. Most of the other treasurers paid interest. I felt It was time he did so, so I wished to avo.d another fight among the banns and I tod the trustees to notify all the banks, Foley's included, to submit offers of interest they were willing to pay, and then to allow the tank wl ich offered the highest rate to name the treasurer who must give bonds. This was done. The funds 'now draw over 3 per cent, interest. Foley's bank had a fair chance and war beaten and he now makes a personal attack on me. The same conditions, obtain in the ease of the treasurer at Anna. While I am Governor, the public funds of tho State will draw interest, a thing they have never done before in the history of the State." CLEVER FRENCH POTTERS. They Imitate the China of All the Famous Makers of the World. New York Herald. ' Entering a china' shop recently, I asked the dealer the price of a small and very beautiful piece of Delft, which had attracted my eyes for weeks whenever I happened to pass the window. Knowing it must be very expensive, I had so far resisted the temptation. Much to my surprise, the dealer named a very moderate price. ' . "It is not .Holland. Delft, you know." he said. "The same piece in Holland Delft would cost you twice that, at least." "Well, what is. it, then, if not Holland Delft?" I asked. "To be Delft it must be made in the Holland potteries." "That is no longer tru-V said the dealer, smiling. "Strictly speaking, this is not Delft, for It was made in France. At the same time we call it Delft, and even an expert of the first order would find it difficult to distingu'sh it from the genuine article, except by the mark of the pottery on the back. To all purposes, artistic and otherwise, it is Delft, Now, here is a piece of real Holland Dalft," and x will wager you anything you like you cannot tell the difference." This was true, though the pottery marks were altogether 'different. The dealer went on: (mil otii . "Modern French potters are the cleverest imitators in the world, and of late years it is next to impossible to distinguish their imitations of famous Dutch and German and even English warea from originals, except by the marks. You can always depend upon the marks, for the French seek to imitate, not to defraud. "Their industry and cleverness, however, are in a certain sense unfortunate, notwithstanding the excellence of their wares, for they make famous glazes and patterns cheap and common, and thus lessen the value of originals. ' . "The many potteries at Limoges and elsewhere in France, besides making Innumerable original creations of wonderful beauty, imitate about every other well-known china In the world. "Here is the flower pattern of the Royal Dresden, for instance. The time was when great prices were charged for that Dresden ware. The pattern was found in royal palaces and the home3 of the wealthy almost exclusively. But nowadays the Limoges potteries turn out this pattern in a thousand forms and shapes, till it is becoming one of the commonest on the market. "The poor roan - can nowadays fill his shelves with patterns the most famous by buying them in French china, and can have splendid workmansh'p and quality, too. though he cannot enjoy the luxury of having originals, which still command the same high prices. Dainty buyers no longer pride themselves on possessing patterns, but marks." v "Are the French the only imitators?" I asked. . ' ' "Oh, no, indeed." said the dealer. "For instance, here are two Dresden plates ( of the famous old Royal Dresden blue pattern. One i3 from the Royal Dresden pottery, and the other from another potterv in Dresden which imitates it. "Which is which, now?" I could not tell the plats apart, either in color, giaze or pattern, and said so. "Neitner can I,"fsald the dealer, "until I turn them over, and here on the one we find the crowned sword's mark of the Royal Dresden pottery, and on the other the similar but quite distinguishable mark of the Imitator. Yet the one plate is worth twice as much as the other. There is a great deal of Imitat'ng done everywhere in china nowadays. Even the American, potteries are catching the fever. But the French are the cleverest and most indefatisable imitators of a!!." STORY OF THE BONNIE BLUE FLAG. Its Author Tells HowThIs Confederate WaV Sons Was Written. New Orleans . Times-Democrat. There are few songs in the English language which have enjoyed a wider reputation or been sung oftener or under such circumstances as "The Bonnie Blue Flag." It waa under its Inspiring strains that tho confederate hosts marched and fought for four long years. Above the din of battleit has been heard, and in later years, when peace had come, whenever the confederate veterans were assembled in reunion, it was sung, and eyes sparkled and muscles grew tense as its patriotic words rose above the cheers. There are many veterans of the Confederacy in this city who will be glad to know that Mrs. Annie Chambers-Ketchum, the writer of the words of "The Bonnie Blue Flag," arrived in the city Friday. To a representative of this paper he said: "And so you want to know how 'The Bonnie Blue Flag came to bo written? It's a rather long story and somewhat complicated. The. tune is taken from an old Irish choral, first sung in this country by Harry McCarthy. The words he used, however, were a sort of doggerel which I never liked, and which reminded me of a lame man trying to dance. Now, to go back a little, R. H. Stoodard, a Northern man, had written at the beginning of the war a sonz about the South, and one afternoon my husband, Leonidas Ketchum, the adiutant of the Thirty-eighth Tennessee Regiment, showed it to me and asked me to write an answer to it. I said. T Khali and I wrote 'Nec Temere Nc Tlm'de.' a battle call. It whs immediately taken 110 bv the confederate soldiers and my husband's regiment adopted the title as the:? motto. "Just after this my husband left with his regiment, and I never saw him again. The war was at its height. Memphis fell into the hands of the federals, and I was ordered to come into the citv and leave my country home. I was given a home next door ts a Unionist banker. There was a number of English subjects in Memphis ut that time, and they w-rote to the English minister at Washington to send a rep-e-sentative to Memphis to protect their interests. Lord Lyon was the English minister then, and he sent hit nephew. Sir Harry Percy Anderson, to Memphis. While he was there he expressed a desire to meet a real live rebel woman and the banker who lived next door asked me to come over end nreet him. I went, and he asked me to sing The Battle Call" for him, and I did so. Then I sang McCarthy's version of 'The Bonnie Blue Flag-' The next day he called

on me, and In the course of our conversatlon he asked me to write some new words ' to McCarthy's music. "I promised him I would try: and then he asked me if I had any friands tn Memphis. I told him ten or twelve old maids and widows. Little did I know then that I, too, was a widow, for my nw.ib.inJ had

He took the cony away with him. and I remember he said, as he was leaving: I wonder if I will get back safe to Washington with all this explosive in my pocketr He is living in London now. He took the song for my sister, who was compiling a book of war relics. Sne alrea iy had my other song, which she called 'The Chevy Chase of the South This was in , 1862, and it was not long before my words were rung everywnere in tne south. - "General Hunburt then tooK command at Memphis, and, when he heard that the authoress of 'The Battle Ca.i and The Bonnie Blue Flag" was living in Memphis, he sent his officers around to make me sign the iron-clad oath. I refused again and again, and finally General Swayne and Colonel Howe called on me. They were good friends and did their best for me. They said they had asked General Hurlburt to receive me, but he had lepled with an oath that Would reach across tha Mississippi river that he would not receive me because he wa3 afraid I would make a rebel out of him, as I had of them, and that, if they mentioned the name of Chambers-Ketchum to him again he would have them courtmartialed. "They gave me a last opportunity to sign, but I said 'No; that my arm would wither to its socket before I would sign anything against my country and my own people. I was then banishad to Georgetown, Ky., where I had a brother, who was a Unionist, and who took care of me. When I went there I had learned of my husband's ' death. , I was kept there till 1S66, when I was allowed to return to MemDhls. Now, that's the history of 'The Bonnie Blue Flag" ABOUT THE INDIAN. On the Whole He Has Been Cared for Kindly and Honestly. Philadelphia Record. There are unto this very day many worthy men and women in the United States who still cling to a fond belief in the sentimental phase of Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson's novel, "Ramona," and who waste an ocean of tears over the mythical wrongs of "Lo, the poor Indian." According, to these zealous champions of the westwardmoving aboriginal, he has been a cheated, and persecuted victim of a shameless gov-' ernment. The fallacy of this sentimental superstition has been frequently exposed, but never in such an energetic fash.on as by Major J. W. Powell, the distinguished Indian ethnologist, In an article in the current. Forum. The authority of this expert upon the Indian question, to which in all Its phases he has devoted a' long and scholarly life, : cannot be overestimated, and his defense of the government is merely an incidental feature of his plea for the increased industrial education of the Indian wards of the Nation. .'. , gov ernment," he declares, "to extinguish Indian titles than to extinguish the titles of foreign nations, and the cost of Indian wars has been greater than the cost of foreign wars. In treating with foreign governments we have employed our ableststatesmen; so, in treating with Indian tribes we have always employed men of higrc character. In looking over the list of fie men who have made treaties with tha Indian tribes we find such men as Jackson, Harrison, Cass and many ocners who have served in the councils of the Nation. We have always been liberal in our bargains, giving to the tribes moneys in excess of the values of their lands at the time when me were purchased, and at the same time confirming to them the title of portions of their lands as reservations. As the counm i t c.viiization these reservations have developed in value by unearned inctiemet, so that many tribes have , become comparatively wealthy, and nearly all are well to do." This is a review of the government's policy in a nutshell which every deluded humanitarian should frame and hang in a conspicuous place on the walls of his or ner injry. i na ndiju u) 1 r4 iua . i the current fiscal year aggregates the sum of $10,750,486, of which nearly $7,000,000 Is to be paid under treaty obligations. All other nations have treated their aboriginal savages exclusively as wards and paupers. The United States -government has treated the Indian tribes as sovereign nations. Even Harvard University was begun as an Indian school. When the buffalo was killed, the Western hunting ground plowed, the fishing grounds navigated and, as Major Powell expresses it, "the Indian absolutely stranded on the shore of civilization, where he must live under new conditions or die," the right men again came forward at this critical juncture Pratt, of Carlisle, and Armstrong, of Hampton. The new industrial education has been a great boon already to the Indian, about twenty thousand of whom are now under instruction; and while, as Major Powell points out, only a few fully fledged industrial schools have as yet been developed, the promise for the future is, indeed, most encouraging. "Young Sioux," exclaims the Major, "who fought Cus'ter now .drive teams at the government agency; Navajo who fought Kit Carson are now digging ditches, and Apaches who fought Crook are now husking corn." The coming generation will witness the Indians qualified to do their own agricultural work and to make most of their own artisan necessities, or the Indian will be pronounced a failure as a possible candidate for civilization. " . THE PROFANE PARROT. ' Its Profligate and Unseemly Language Leads to a Lavvsalt. Paris Letter to London Telegraph. Outside the shop of a bird-seller, on tht Qua! de Gesvres there lately .congregated &. large crowd of idlers. They were attracted to the place by a dispute between. the owner of the snop, a middle-aged woman, and( an elderly dame, both of whom were . equallyincisive in their remarks about each other. Two policemen, burning with zeal in the interest of public order and tranquillity, elbowed their way through the throng and prevailed on the disputants to stop quarreling and to accompany them to the office of a commissary. Arrived in presence of that functionary, the elderly lady unfolded her tale, which was all about a parrot addicted to the use of bad language. "I hate cats, dogs, goldfish and canaries," she said, "but I have a weakness for loquacious parrots." Then she went on to exp.ain that, as her own pet bird had died, she bought another for 40 francs from the wor.-.an with whom she had the dispute. The new parrot talked a language which she did not understand. It was Portuguese, she had been told, so she exchanged the bird for a French one. Then her trials and troubles really commenced. The Frenchspeaking parrot not only talked too much, but literally discharged from its beak a veritable torrent of low language, a specimen of which the old lady refrained from giving the commissary, as she did not want to shock his ears. ...', L As soon as she heard the diabolical utterances of the badly reared bird she hurried back with it to the shop of the ornithological daler. To her horror and surprise, the latter not only refused to receive tack the profligate French-sppaking parrot, but sa'd that the old lady had taught it bad language. The bird-seller Is now to be sued fo- libel. The case will come before a Justice of the peace, and the too-fTppant f.'wi will be brought into court so that the magistrate may have a sample of its style s of conversation. Lincoln's War Plan. Col. A. K. McClure, in McClure's Magazine. On the night after the battle of Bull Run, Lincoln sousht no sleep, but after gathering all the information that he could as to the situation, he devoted the hours of early morning to formulating a plan of military operations, and it is marvelous how closely that programme was followed in the long and bloody years through which the war was fought to its consummation. This was Lincoln's first distinct assumption of the duties of commander-in-chief. He wrote out in pencil, with his own hand, memoranda directing that a blockade should be made effective as soon as possible; that the volunteer forces at Fortress Monroe be constantly drilled and disciplined; that Baltimore be held with a firm hand; that Patterson's forces be strengthened and made secure in their position: that the forces of West Virginia continue to act under orders from MeClellan; that General Fremont push forward his work in the West, and especially in Missouri; that the Army of the Potomac be reorganized as rapidly as possible on Arlington Heights: and that new volunteers be brought forward speedily into camps for instruction. This paper bears date July 23, 1861; and on the 27th of July he added to it that when the foregoing shall have been substantially attended to. Manassas Junction and Strausburg should be seized and permanently held, with an open line from Harper's Ferry to Strausburg, and a joint movement from Cairo on Memphis, and from Cincinnati on East Tennessee, should be promptly organized. This was Mr. Linclon's first acceptance of the necessity that called him to exercise his duties as commander-in-chief, and it will be observed that his plan of campaign fully comprehended the situation and the military necessities whicli arose thereafter.

LOOK OK T11K ii.tih. (From the Bowen-Merrill Company.) A book full of instruction and encouragement for. ambitious youth is "Pushing to the Front, or Success Under Difficulties," by O. S. Marden. The author says In his preface that early in life he determined that If it should ever He in his power, he "would write a book to encourage, inspire and stimulate boys and girls who long to be somebody and do something In the world, but feel that they have no chance in life." This book is an excellent attempt m that direction. Its general character can be gathered from its chapter headings, oine of which are: "The Man and the opportunity," "Boys with no Chance," "1'osf.ibilities and Spare Moments," "itound Boys in Souare Holes." "A Fortune in Good Man ners," "Tact or Common Sense," "Enam- 1 ored of Accuracy, "Nerve Grit, unp. Pluck," "A Long Life and How to Reach It," "The Army of the Reserve, and the Victory in Defeat-" Each of ihese chapters Is made up principally of illustrations, from facts of biography, of the point which the author wishes to make, and the whoie is written so tersely that young renders will hardly be abie to resist its enthusiasm or fail to become inspired with us purpose. It contains a large number nf portraits pf distinguished men and women. Cloth, $1.50. Boston:, Houghton. Mifflin. & Co. A third edition of "The American Commonwealth," by the Hon. James Bryce, M.

Large additions have . been ma..! to some chapters and four new ones hav : been added, treating of new topics and recent events. One relates to the Tammany rlrg In New York and another to the South since the war. As a practical politician and a student of history Professor Bryoe is undoubtedly well qualified to write concern: ag the government and institutions of the United States, but many readers will mink the different parts of his work possess ungual merit. That which makes an analysis of the State and national constitutions and f the scheme of American government H admirable, but when he comes to deal u-ith recent events and the politics of toirvy his views are little more than an echo :: tirjse of the mugwump press during the Jutr few years. He sees little of the good in American politics and exaggerates all ti at is bad. As a whole, however, the work in a valuable contribution to the critical literature on American institutions. The two volumes, bound in cloth, with gilt tops, arc $4. In 18C9 the Rev. William E. Grlffls. then In the prime of life, went to Japan, by request, to organize schools on the American p! in. He remained there many years, and r. large part of the time was employed as an instructor in the Imperial University of Tokio. ' By long residence in the country, contact with the people and study of their mode3 of faith he became thoroughly ac0 jainted with their religion In its different terms- The results are embodied in a work entitled "The Religions of Japan." It is an intelligent and comprehensive presentation of Buddhism in its various stages of development in that country. As to the influence 01 Buddhism upon the morals and character of the Japanese the author thinks there is much to be said in praise and much also in criticism. "It has," he says, "aided powerfully to educate the people in habits of gentleness and courtesy, but instead of aspiration and expectancy of improvement it has given to them that spirit of hopeless resignation which is so characteristic of the Japanese masses." Although primarily a history of the Japanese religions, the work throws much light on the Japanese character. Cloth, $2. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. "The Wealth of Labor." by Frank Loomls Palmer, is an Intelligent attempt to elucidate some of the current problems of political economy, notably the wage and labor questions. Briefly, the author's view is that with labor left free to shift occupations, labor of equal grade will receive equal compensation in any given community; that labor will seek the occupation of greatest advantage, and by overstocking the market will reduce such advantage in exchange with other communities; tnat an equalization of the profits of labor in occupations of less advantage will take labor from and conserve the advantage of the. other occupation; that this distribution of labor and conservation of advantage can be effected by several means. The author is a protectionist and places the defense of protection on new grounds. Cloth. $1. New York: The Baker & Taylor Company, 5 East Sixteenth street. , . Stone & Kimball, of Chicago, are making a record for fine book work and earning the thanks of discriminating readers for the quality of the 'books they publish, whether new works or new editions : of old ones. They have commenced the publication of a new edition of ."The Works of Edgar Allan Poe," which will be altogether the most complete and satisfactory edition ever published. It will embrace ten volumes, and will include every bit of prose and poetry of which he was the known author. Each volume will be carefully edited by EJmund Clarence Stedman and George Edward Woodberry, with illustrations by Sterner. Volume I, which is at hand, contains a frontispiece portrait of the author, a memoir and an introduction. The body of the work contains "Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque." There are several full-page illustrations, and the work is in very attractive form. - There are thousands of books on drunkenness and thousands of public spt-akers who warn against the evils of strong drink, but comparatively little is said is to the opium habit, the victims of which are numerous and increasing. In contracting the habit men and women, rush' cn their fate ignorantly and without warning. The way leads down to helL The horrors of the habit which were so elquentiy portrayed by De Qulncey are described with great force and clearness in "Dr. Judas," by William R. Cobbe. In its vivid portrayal of the horrors of the drug it is equally as graphic and more practical than De Quincey's celebrated work. The author is a rescued victim of the opium habit, and writes from personal experience. Chicago: S. C. Griggs & Co. Cloth, $1.00. "Prince Henry, the Navigator," by C. R. Beazley, aims at giving an account, based upon original sources, of he progress of geographical knowledge and enterprise in Christendom, throughout the middle ages down to the end of the fifteenth century, as well as a life of Prince Henry, the navigator, who was a main factor in the movement. The work is a valuable contribution to the history of geographical discovery and contains facsimiles of a number of ancient chart3 and maps never published before. It Is published in the Putnam's Heroes of the Nations series. Cloth, $1.50. If there is any reason why "Little Eyolf," by Henrlk Ibsen, should have been written, or , why, if it was . to be written, it should have been cast In the form of a three-act drama it is not clearly perceptible. The motive and sentiment of the story are morbid, the story itself uncanny, and the dramatic form only emphasizes the entire absence of dramatic movement or spirit. Ibsenmaniacs may find something in the work to admire, but approval of it will be confined to that cult. It is translated by William Archer, and published in attractive style by Stone & Kimball, Chicago. The list of books concerning hunting adventures in the wilderness regions of the Rocky mountains receives an interesting addition In "In the Heart of the Bitter Root Mountains," by Heclawa.

In an interview. "He? name is Jess, a monster in elze and strength, but docile as a lamb. A child can lead her -anywhere. Of course, I ran into th great railroad strike last June, or rather it ran into me. I was tied up at Lima and getting my circus to Silver Bow was a case of life or death. I exhausted every scheme to get my cars moved. The strikers positively refused. If I could get seven of my cars to Silver Bow I could at least get food and water for my animals and three hundred men, women and children. We ate Lima out in two hours and starvation Was staring us in the face. It was then that I. had a consultation with my elephant Jess and by certain unmistakable signs she volunteered her services. What did I do? Why, I harnessed that elephant to the cars, got my men with crowbars to start them and that jewel stretched right out over those seven miles like a mogul, fetching us all safe into Silver Bow, where we garlanded her massive frame with flowers. "That was not the only big lift Jess gave me. I opened In San Francisco at a bad. time. There was some public excitement that detracted from my circus. It looked blue, but as luck would have, it. Jess laid herself down conveniently where a rat could run up her trunk. The unfortunate rodent made its appearance and went up the eleohant's trunk In due time. She was wild ; . broke her chains and spread pandemonium everywhere. There was no lack of excitement for a few hours, I want to. say to you. Finding water, she drew up a tank of it. but the rat did not drown. ' Then she hammered her trunk on the ground, but with no relief. At last I got near her, grabbed tho rat by its tail and drew it out. . We then had to shackle the beast until she quieted down. Of course, it was a big sensation. The papers had columns of it the next morning and that day hundreds were turned away. That elephant gave rne $3,000 worth of free advertising and ft has helped me out wonderfully."
