Harper Brothers
The impress OF Miss Anna DicknsOn's pecu-
liar individuality is strongly marked upon every page
Of this unique volume. In the dash and Dodness Of its
style its originality Of conception and freedom OF utter
ance in the ddain for arbitrary rules and the passion
Tor erratic adventure which it berays, and in the
preston OF genuine kindncss OF heart nobleness Of
am and loiuess OF principle, II bears the unmIstak-
able signatures of its enthusiastic ind lmpusve
author. 1t contains the record OF several journeys,
partly IN pursuit Of recreation, and partly in the
course Of professional engagements with attempt
method ordcrin the composition but pouring out the
madcap illusions Of the moment with the atless glee OF
child and often blended with deep undercurrent Of
womany wisdom and earnesiness. The most attractive
portions Of the book perhaps the sketches Of
natural scenery the Pacific Coast. which is painted
with rare power OF delneatlon, showing the keenes
sense Of the beauty of the region, with
command OF apt and picturesque language. Some Of
the adventures of the traveller IN her lone wander.
lngs" are OF rresisubly comic character. others
have touch OF risk. peril, but in either case
she never loses her gayey Of spirit OF her ndomltabe
pluck.

GRANT CRAMMING FOR A Book. 1t is
perfectly wonderful To think Oft the amount
of studying Grant is doing and with what
zeal he is improving his mind all this
time. A friend Of mine, who was with
him frequently in Paris, said that while
there, notwithstanding he was the object
Of almost constant aduluton, every meal
n banquet. with every night reception
by some high dignitary in his honor, he
yet folnd time to make long and deep
study Of the communism of 1871 and tho
revolution Of 1889. Every day he would
gather some OF the learned French stales-
men and historians and talk for two or
three hours on specific pnrt Of this topic,
and would then dismiss them to read and
make notes Of his investigations on the
subject. At times he would 20 TO the
prisons and talk with some of the famous
communistic leaders still inearcerated,
or, agmin, he would have some of the
officers who captured the barrcndes come
to him and give him their testimony on
communism with gun or petroleum can
in its hand. In Spain, England and
everywhere, it was always the same thing
with Grant-he was quiet, philosophical
and contemplative, and modest under all
circumstances and though nations were
waiting TO do him honor, he always pre-
ferred the serv ice and unostentatious so
ciety of his family, travelling friends and
n few learned men o the country which
he was visiting, to the pomp and display
of royal honors. predict that when
General Giant again rests on his native
land, not only will he be the greatest liv-
ing military chieitaln, but he will be the
greatest traveller and best posted man on
foreign affairs that has ever lived. He
will be man of the great world in the
grandtst sense of the term. The gente-
man who told me about his Partisan hab
its says Grant expects to write a journal OF
bis travels and memoir Of his life when
he returns, and that he will probably re-
main in private life to do It'd Con
greSsman's account Of Grant as
IrdUeier.

NUMBER "a.

At this reply one burst out laughing
The first boats PROV had net touched the
strand when Capucin had scrambled up
tho steep rock and with tremendous
bounce cast himself barking furiously,
into the arms Of his old friend Barks,
gamboling, somersaults, licking Of hand,
face, feet all imaginable demonstrations
Of canine joy.
"Go on, old fellow" sobbed the SOL
dior, with tears rolling down his checks

you like to day, and won't say anything.

ing mo all your affection and intelli-
gence."
When he had somewhat recovered
from his emotion, Firm!n Bonard, fol-
lowed by the faithful dog, went down to
the beach to greet his old comrades and
tell his story. Luckily tho corporal,
now an officer on Davoust's staff was
there, and could corroborate II. The
regiment toasted him royalty, and he in
tarn invited every ono to tho farm, whero
he and his wife did the honors cordially.
1t was not long ere the news reached
Marshal Davoust's ears. lie lsughed
heartily at Firmin Bonard's strategom,
and having satisfied himself that the sol-
dier's anteoedonts were irreproaohable,
ordered his discharge to DO made out in
duo form.
Far be II from me" snid the Marshal,
Aitor he has been on watch for five
years without being relieved, to send this
gallant follow before a court>martial."
Firmin Bonard remained on tho farm.

his father back to tho island Of Rugen.
His children and grandchildren to-day

When tho French again Withdrew

RUNAWAY MARRIAGES. The mar
rage laws in Virginia are very strict,
full account of the age. parents names,
occupation and residence being required
from both parties before license is grant
ed. A clergyman who marries minors
without the parents consent is liable to
imprisonment and fine of $50 600. II is
probably owing to these safeguards about
marriage that divorces are so rare in Vir-
glnia. Before the war village called
Iardscrabble, just over the Pennsylvania
line, was sort of Gretna Green, and
quondam shoemaker, vino had been chos-
of love to join the flying lovers who hied
to him 10 escape the law. Whey they
were very young, however, the old man
often reasoned with them like father,
and more than once sent them home to
learn wisdom with age. On one occasion,
when the girl was mere child, Quimby,
the shoemaker, laid down his pipe, and
fixed his eyes on her b,ushing, trembling
fnce. "Marry you ?" taking up two bits
OF thread. "Ges, | can marry you as
quickly as | can tie this Rnot. But
and the old maE rose solemnly-"1nly
Gods hand can cut the knot asunder."-
For the first time, perhaps, the awful
import Of her act flashed upon the girl.
She burst into tears, and sol bed out, 81
want my mother - "I'll take you to
her, my child ; and as for you, young
nan, go about your business" They
were never married, and to the end of her
life the woman had reason to thank the
old man for his Interference. The papers
have been filled lately with the runaway
matches of two young girls, one flying
from Vassar College, the other running
away with servant. Girls who have
never probably chosen dress for them
selves, in one rash moment fix inexora-
bly, the fnte of their whole future lives.
The only argument they hear in the matt
ter Is :he good looks of young fellow Of
whom they know renlly nothing. Girls
so immature and unreasoning ought not
to be Trusted to choose their everyday
companions. Parents are to blame ifl
these companions lead them into long |

THOMAS JEFFERSON GRAvE.-A cor
respodent OF the Boston journal thus de-
scribes the grave Of Thomas Jefferson, at
Monticello. Va: We were surprised and
looked in vain for something to remind us
OF tho resting place OF the author of the
Declaration Of Independence, but, on
alghling and passing through the under-
brush for few steps, We found ourselves
brought face to face with the most deso-
late Of burial places. Tho spot was orig
inally surrounded by brick wall. through
which an iron gate furnished admittance,
but the wal! has been entirely torn down,
and tho gate lies PROSTATE. The inclos-
ure is from two to three hundred feet
square, and there are some twenty graves,
whore rest the descendants and relatives
OF Jellorson. Some Of the graves are
marked with headstones, but some are
without any mark, though several burials
have taken place since the war, and one
grave seemed to be freshly sodded. JET,
ferson's grave is marked by rough
granite monument, square and about If
teen feet in height, upon which Is placed
cone-shaped block Of granite. The cor
ners have all been broken off by visitors
there is no name upon It, the plate which
evidently was once in the stone having
been removed, but upon the base near the
ground was the date of his birth and death
In rude letters. There are several large
trees growing within the enclosure, and
the whole is surrounded by untitled land
and underbrush.
