LIVING AGE" Van,'' the excel
lent correspondent of the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, says in one of
his late letters from Washington to
that paper:
It is so dull here now that you will
pardon me single paragraph not ON
political matters. Rev. DR.. Nj Leod,
editor of . Good Words" London, is
writing a story called 1.-The Star
ling, and it is rich in pathos, wit,
and character drawing. Chapters are
nearly equal to some of SCOTS best;
and the story is upon Church matters,
too. Littetts Living Age has just be-
gun to reprint the story. By the way,
the Age copies pretty. much every
thing that is good from abroad. L
have tried to take half a dozen for
eign magazines, and gave up, because
the Age will gather the best things
from all of them, and furnish them
for one-fourth the money they cost In
their original dress.
