Bret Harte's new novel, Gabriel Con-
roy" which is at last completed, and
carefully guarded in the publishers safe,
calls forth the highest anticipations in
literary circles. 1t will be begun as
serial in the November number of
Scribner's Magazine, without illnstra-
tions for it is said to be graphic beyond
need of them, and full of incident. The
story takes its title, Gabriel Conroy,"
from its hero, simple, good hearted,
honest old minerS of a type somewhat
different from that of hia illustrious
predecessors in Mr.. Harte's writings.
Several familiar friends, nevertheless,
renew old acquaintance, among them
Colonel Starbottle. The story ia wholly
in Mr.. Harte's original field, and is said
to fulfill. as a novel, the promise of his
very best tales. The opening is pro-
nounced, by critics who have had access
TO the manuscript, to be very powerful:
it is terrible picture of starving
camp, and from this start the story il
said to hold the reader with an almost
uncomfortable grip, seeing that he has
to wait month by month"; New York
Tribune.

crate Soldiers Mt Elizabeth, n. j.

ELIZABETH, N. j., October 19.-The
reunion of the Union and Confederate
soldiers began this morning. The line
was formed at 1890, when all marched
to Waverly. Fourteen veteran compan-
les participated. The streets were lined
with spectators, and every building on
Broad street was decorated. General
Fitzpatrick, Pryor, Pemberton and Hal
stead were present, together with num-
her of State officials. At Waverly,
Generals Pryor and Fitzpatrick deliver
ed addresses; and long programme of
exercises was given. II is a gala day in
the city, the display exceeding even the
4th of July. This evening the Fire
Department will meet the veterans on
their return, and grand display of fire
works will take place.

Two men Hanged by a Mob. in Wis.
cOnSins

MILwAUKEE, October 19.-.About a
week ago the Sheriff of Portage county,
named Baker, was killed by two BROTH
ers named Ames and Isaac Courtwright,
whom he attempted to eject from a
building. This morning about 3 O'Clock,
a party Of masked men numbering forty,
went to the jail at Stevens Point, seiz-
ed the watch and put him in irons, beat
down the outside doors, took out the
Courtwrights and hung them to pine
tree overhanging the road. The whole
affair was SO quickly and systematically
executed that there is no evidence of the
identity of the perpetrators, but it is
understood that they came from the
town of Plover.

The Benefit Of Slavery Abolition.
From the courier-Journal.l !

lrrOfu tne OOuEleE-JOuLIlai.l
George W. Adair, of Atlanta, says:
Before the war I kept four negroes on
my lot-Wash, a man of .all-work, val
ed at 81 500; Sarah, a No. cook, 81 400;
Harriet, house girl, 81 200; and Nancy
a nurse, $500. The legal interest (sev-
en- per ceat.) on the value of these
slaves was $500 per annum, and 1 had
to feed, clothe, pay doctors bills, &c.
Now / have the same service performed
at $500 per annum. feed these hired
servants, but furnish no clothing nor
pay doctors bills. and get the same service
owned slaves, and if they die lose
nothing. Now, when acquire any cap
ital | can put 1t in other property, in
stead of locking it up in slaves. This /
think, illustrates the whole question
The land owner can avail himself of
negro labor today at lesa cost than
and take care of him. This labor cannot
be controlled so absolutely as slave labor
and more or less irregularities grow out
of it; still It is available and susceptible
of being used to great profit by the
land owner. Planters who own slaves
who now remain upon their land and
gives personal attention to the crops,
can make more clear money from the
soil than under the old system. The
South is becoming every year more
familiar with free labor, and understands
better how to manage it. She is becom-
ing more self-reliant and self-sustainin9.

They are to have great goings on at

gramme, as follows:
"On next Saturday, October %, we
expect to have grand time all on ac-
count of the election of r. B. Hayes.
We have two famous men here. They
are each six feet four inches tall, about
forty-six years old, and the jolliest and
funniest fellows in the country. Wig
ginton, the loudest laugher in Ohio,
agreed to wheel Ben. Burnett one mile
through this town if Hayes was elected.
The time is set October %, at P. NJ.
The famous Witch Band, of Circleville,
will lead the procession, followed by the
Ely Light Guards, fire companies, hose
and hook and ladder companies, and the
Garris Guards (colored) with their
martial music.
"Burnett makes a speech of ten min
utes' length in the center of the ride.
lie takes drink Of old rye or Bourbon,

The long trial of the Ward will case,
in Detroit, is drawing to close. The
effort to break the will on the ground
that Captain Ward was a Spiritualist,
and was governed by Spirits in the
management of affairs, is not likely to
be successful The evidence shows that
he was not, SO far as his temporal rela-
tions were concerned, enough of Spir
itualist to hurt him; that he was. in fact
governed by his own clear, shrewd
judgment, in business affairs, and sensi-
bly, held that the spooks were rot to be
trusted for advice upon them. The
evidence also shows that the Captain
had boys who were not likely to resem-
BILE their father in any respect. and that
in devising his property he hedged il
abont in such way that they could not
dissipased their portion of it. Hence
