LITERATURE AND JOURNALISM

Helen EHinger Or, Not Erdciy Right. BY
Elsie Leigh Whttlesey, Author OF Castles in
Spain,n DC. Published by ClaXton, RemAen d
Haffelhnger, Philadelphia Received through
Porter Co., Wilmington
An interesting and prettily written novel ratll-
er too deeply Swallowed in the first part Of the
story to be thoroughly pleasing, but ending as
happily for all as novel should Even the
brutal tyrant who makes all the trouble is al
lowed to become happily repentant when entire
ly past doing any more mischief. The high
moral of the story is perhaps more doubtful than
the authoress appears to think and neither
Emily who jilts the man sho loves and marries
the man she hates in order to please her miserly
father, nor Helen, WHO gives up he- lover in
order to comfort Emily for her husbands hate
fulnesa can be recommended as thoroughly good
patterns Of conduct. We suspect that there is
often great deal of humbug about this lauded
virtue of sef-sacriice. Justice is, at any rate,
higher virtue still and must not be over
looked in any enthusiasm of =elf-immolation.
In this case the ladies' are supposed to be all
right but it seems rather hard on the innocent.
Tilted lovers till the opportune death Of tie
hateful husband happily sets all things straight
again.
Meanwhile, in shylocka phrase, the tbool)
is nevertheless sufficient for pleasant and
readable novel, even if we decline it as a guide
in the regions either of morals, or of art.

We do not hesitate to recommend them as unusu-

The bonds are for $1,000 each have forty years to

Leokuk railroad is sure to be built, that
300 hands are ut work between that city
and Louisiana, and 80 more hands ar.
rived by boat on Wednesday of last

The Rails County Record upbraids the
County Court for appropriating, on the
5th inst, sS46.40 to pay for work done
under the authority of Louisiana officials,
after Messrs. Walker, Douglas & 20. had
actually taken possession of the road,
and in the face Of written protest from
these gentlemen served upon the Court
month ago, notifying that the county
would be held liable for this money.
The county attorney advised that no ap-
preparation should be made to any party
until the St. Louis and Keokuk railroad
was in operation, but the Court needed
not the advice, notwithstanding the TACT
that Messrs. Walker, Douglus & Co. ask
for no money until such consummatiou.
The Record also says that it is gen.
orally known by the people that Messrs.
Walker, Douglas & Co., Of the Cedar
Rapids and Minnesota railroad, have
contracted to complete, iron. equip end
operate the St. Louis and Keokuk rail
road on what is termed the "Short Line,
and are prosecuting the work vigorously
at all points along the line in Rslls, Pike,
Lincoln and St. Charles. These gentle
men have purchased 1900 tons of rails
enough to- lay the track across this county.

to ask, Rails county for dollar until the
road is in operation across the county,
when, by virtue Of their contract with
the company, they will be entitled to the
entire subscription of the county, not
already legally paid to the company by
the county. .
