other indications of approaching dis
solution. These were succeeded by
unnaturally rapid breathing that
continued to grow fainter with de-

convulsive side movement of the
limbs, there we're no signs that he
suffered pain and finally they were
scarcely perceptible.

THE vote on Mr.. Maynards bill
removing all disabilities imposed
and remaining on any person by the
Sd section of the XIV Amendment
TO the Constitution, shows that the
House is in thorough accord with
the Presidents recommendations
upon that subject. If members of
enc House had not felt the the way
they voted, they would have taken
advantage of the technical objections
raised to excuse themselves from
favoring the measure with their
votes. Notwithstanding the buga-
boo about JEFF. Davis getting into
the Senate, was brought to bear,
and the right of the Committee on
Rules to report such bill question
cd, even by the Speaker, and Butler
Insisted that the committee had not
che right, the rules were suspended
and the measure passed by vote
of l4l to 10. This is very decided
triumph, and Mr.. Maynard deservs
credit and the thanks of his consti-
tuents for the prominent part he
took in it.-ChattanoogG CONNER

been bought by Scribner & Co,
and is now merged in St. Nicholas.
It is unusually rich in stories
There is a New York Christmas
story, called "Pete," by Mrs. L. G.
Morse, which is most admirably
told. Then there is a German
Christmas story, by Mary Lockwood
and fairy Christmas story, "The
Elves Gift" by Arthur Crosby.
Among the other stories is "The
Boy Who Worked" by Roswell
Smith, one of the Publishers, in
which the career is shown of a poor
boy who worked his way up to the
position Of a gentleman; " A Gar
ret Adventure" a bright story by
Mrs. M. NJ. Dodge; and "The story
OF the Jolly Harper Man" by FL.
Butterworth, illustrated by six Jolly
pictures by Stephens. Besides all
these, there are no less than three
serials now running in st Nicholas.
/. "What Might Have Been Expect
ed1' by Frank r. Stockton, story
for boys, which was commenced in
the first number, and which contains
this month, besides watery advent
ure, a description of a decidedly
curious Christmas tree. And then
comes Trowbridge's g Fast Friends, .
which opens with some exceedingly
real character-pictures of country
life in the Northern States, and has
besides, some lively stories of boys
adventures on canal boats. There
are also Christmas articles by Donald
G.. Mitchell and John Hay; poems
by William Cullen Bryant, Lucy
Larcem and Mary Mapes Dodge
descriptions of Christmas toys an6
games sprightly talk from Jack-in
the-Pulpit; lively French story
for translation; and an exceedingly
well-witten account of the poor little
princes who are buried in the ToweI
Of London.
The engravings, of which there
u a generous display,-about forty
in all-are of that high order which
has already made St Nicholas noteC
