SeribRer's Monthly for April.

The April number of Scribner's con-
tains another generous installment OF
Mr.. Kings "Great SOUTH the subject
this time being, "a Ramble in Virginia,
from Bristol to the Sea-" The iIlustra-
tions, as usual, are profuse. Among the
notable features of the number are the
beginning of Jules Verne's serial, "The
Mysterious Island" an essay by Angus
tus Blauvelt, author of the articles on
Modern Skepticism, entitled, "Christ's
Resurrection Scientifically Considered;"
and timely paper, by Miss Beedy, on
''The Health and Physical Habits of
English and American Women" Noah
Brooks has an article Concerning some
Imperial Booty" The new story writer,
George w. Cable, tells a tale of the
"Belles Demoiselles Plantation" Mrs.
Dayis's serial is concluded, and Miss
Trafton's is continued. The number
opens with an illustrated poem by Ben
jamin F. Taylor, and there are verses by
A. r. Macdonough, John Fraser, J. G..
H., Charlotte F. Bates, and Edward
King. DIR. Holland, in Topics of the
Time, writes about "Jules Verne's New
Story" "The Taxation of Church
Property" and "Social Usages." The
Old Cabinet is concerned with "Veraci-
ty;" Amateur Theatricals are practically
discussed in Home and Society, and the
other departments have their character
istic variety.

The current number of St. Nicholas
opens with an article on the invention
of printing, by Donald G.. Mitchell, and
illustrated by large engraving of Gut
enberg's statue at Strasburg. An article,
entitled "Life-Saving On Our Coast"
by William H. Ridcing, gives useful
and highly interesting account of how
poor shipwrecked sailors and passengers
are saved when they are thrown upon
our coast; for it appears, they are nearly
always saved. Four excellent illustra-
tions accompany this article. Another
useful paper is that upon Wood Cary
ing" illustrated by working designs.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps contributes
short story called Taken at His Word, F."
finely illustrated by Sheppard. I. B.
Aldrich has an account of the infant
violinist, James Speaight, which is full
of pathetic interest; there is 'The
Church-Cock," a translation, from the
Swedish of Topelius; Mrs. Pomeroy's
Page" by Mrs. Mary E. Bradley; The
Wrong Bird" by Paul Fort, story of
the trouble little negro boy got into
by going after birds nests that were big
ger than himself; and the conclusion of
that "real boy" story, Wrecked at
Home" by Noah Brooks. The poems
are by Celia Thaxter, Margaret Eytinge
and Mary A Lathbury. The latter il
Illustrates her poem, which is curious
conceit, showing how old Mother Moon
goes about after her little stars who stay
up too late. The three serials are in
creasing in interest. In East Friends, :"
there are adventures at a boarding house
in New York; in "Nimpo's Troubles" :"
the children get into scrapes in a West
ern village, and in "What Might Have
Been Expected" wonderful schemes are
concocted in the backwoods of Virginia
"Jack-in-the- Pulpit" is unusually good
this month, he fairly sparkles with fun,
and everybody, old and young, will be-
sure to have a jolly laugh with Jack"
for April. The Letter Box and other de-
partments are full and interesting as
usual

The almost daily occurrence of

The almost daily occurrence of
extensive and sweeping cOnhagra-
tions in the cities, towns and villages
throughout the United States, ought
to bring about a radical change in
our method of building generally,
and prompt our people TO erect sub
stantial and measurably fire-proof
houses. The destruction of proper
ty by fire in this country, is enor-
nous, and is becoming more exten-
sive as the towns grow in popula-
ton. On the 23d of this month
fires occurred at-WoOster, Ohio,
loss $82, 700; at Elgin, Ills, loss
S147 900; at Indianapolis, loss $780,
900; at Hartford, Conn, loss $780,
900; at Logansport, Ind, loss SO, 600;
New Hamburg, N. Y, loss $780,
600; Memphis, Tenn, loss S., 900.
And this is hardly an average daily
showing of the ravages of the So
called fire-fiend.
MORE FIREs.-Fires occurred at
the following places on the 24th in
stant: AT Kensington, Penn, loss
1925, 900; at Elmira. N. Y, loss
200, 700; at Hartford, Conn. loss 49,
900; Jersey City, loss $4,000; Nor
walk, Conn, loss 10000; Laurence,

1900; on Long Island, loss $50, 900;
at Boston, loss 1000.

Rhode Island and Connecticut.

The State election in Rhode Island is
the first to occur in April. 1t falls this
year on the first day of the month. Con-
necticut will follow ON the sixth. The
event obtains additional interests and
importance in each State from the fact
that upon the result of which will de-
pend the election of a United States
Senator. In Rhode Island Hon. Will
. liam Sprague's successor is to be chosen
by the Legislature to be elected, and in
Connecticut Hon, William Bucking-
hams. In the latter State the question
Of the succession has not been permitted
to enter much into the canvass, at least
qn the Republican side. In Rhode Is
land the friends of several gentlemen
are pressing their claims with good
deal of pertinacity, General Burnsides
and Messrs., Sheffield and Dixon being
the most prominent. The present Re
publican State officers have been nomi-
mated for reelection, and most of them
have been indorsed by the Prohibition
lsts-the main contest, as between these
two parties, seem to depend upon the Of
hce Of Lieutenant Governor, though
why the ProhIbitionists should wish to
run their own candidates for that, with
any expectation of peculiar advantage,
while they accept the Republican can
didates for Governor, Secretary, and
Attorney General, is not easy to be un-
derstood at this distance. The Demo-
cratic ticket is not yet in the field, their
convention being called for to-day
There is no doubt, we think, that Rhode
Island will go Republican, and proba-
bly, send a more useful man to the Sen
ate than Mr.. Sprague.
In Connecticut close contest is ex-
pected, with the chances in favor of the
Democrats carrying their State officers
and the Republicans the Legislature
and the United States Senator. Senator
Buckinham is a candidate for re-elec-
tion, and it is said General Hawley and
Ex-Governor Jewell also have aspira-
tons in that direction.-PHsbur Iele-

SARcAsM.-The chief bar, suppose
to the action of imagination, and stop
to all greaness in the present age of ours,
Is its mean mean and shallow love OF
jest; so that if there be in any good and
lofty work flaw, failing, or undipped
vulnerable part, where sarcasm may
stick or stay, it is caught at and pointed
at and buzzed about, and fixed upon, and
stung into, as a recent wound is by flies.
and nothing is ever taken seriously, or
as it was meant, but always, if it may
be, turned the wrong way and misunder-
stood. And while this is so there is not
and can not be, any hope of achieve
ment of high things. Men dare not
open their hearts to us if we are to broil
them on a thorn fre.-John Roskia.

vides that the State shall pay sixty per

FEMALE SUFFRAGE IN MICHIGAN
Ihe Michigan Legislature has passed q
bill submitting the question of female
suffrage to popular vote. The MAORI
ty in favor of this course, both in the
senate and House, was heavy. The re-
suit will be a thorough canvass of the
merits of the subject. 1t is quite prob
able that the vote will be in the affirma.
tive, for, although the objections to fe-
male suffrage are weighty, if not num-
erous, still, it cannot be denied tba,
there is growing sentiment among the
Wolverines in favor of accepting it as
the least of several evils.

A Wilmington man has an acre Of
peat meadow which his predecessor, ten
or twelve years ago, set out with cram
berry vines. Three years ago he sold
the crop of berries for 81 900; next year
the crop realized him 81 200, and last
year 81 500. The land on which they
were grown, without the cranberry
vines, is worth about twenty dollars an
acre; with the vines it has a productive
value of $4,000.

Experience has shown us in this State
that law prohibiting utterly the sale
OF intoxicating drinks, and establishing
constabulary force to carry the probib-
ltion into effect, goes so far beyond the
demands of the people, at least in the
cities, and is so much in violation of
their ideas of personal liberty, that it is
utterly without avail in accomplishing
the purpose at which all good men are
aiming.-Boston Globe.
