Literary Notices.

First EDITION, 103,000.-So rapidly
are orders increasing for the December
S:riJner that it is thought tho first edition
of 103, 900 will not supply the demand
One cause of the recent increase in circu-
lation, by which 100000 November num-
bcrs were sold in two weeks, is undoubt-
edy due to the growing interest in the
two serials, Henry James, Jr.' Conf
dence.' which is one of his most fascinat-
ing character studies, and George w.
Cables novel of New Orleans life, 1.-The
Grandisslnes.' This latter, begun in
November, will be the leading serial story
of the year. Mr.. Cables "Old Creole
DAYS" has attracted wide attention, and
this his first novel, promises to be among
the strongest and most important works of
fiction that have yet appeared in American
literature. A new serial story by Mrs.
Burnett, author of "1hat Lass o LoWrie'S, -
has also been secured and will begin in an
early number. The special attractions of
the December number include twenty
poems by American women, comprising
verse by many of our most prominent
women writers; 1.-Two visits to Victor
Hugo by II. IL. Boyesen, with large
portrait engraved by Cole; an illustrated
description of the Johns Hopkins univer-

There is much excitement in New York
over the death of one person, and the
severe sickness of several others, caused
by eating lemon pie made at II bakery, A
Boston gentleman of II scientific turn of
mind. says the Traveller, has for several
years been experimenting on the effects
upon himself of eating lemon pie, having
nearly died in consequence of partaking
of one some dozen years ago. He says its
effects in that case were like that of Croton
oil, causing an intense gripping of the
bowels. He has since partaken of lemon
pies in small quantities twelve times-as
superintendent six times the symptoms
were similar in character to those describ-
ed above. though less in degree. lie is
confident that the poison was contained in
The ordinary ingredients Of these pies. and
thinks the serious effects are c,used by
the oil in the peel of the lemons of which
they are made.

GRATEFUL WOMEN.

None receives so much benefit, and none
are so profoundly grateful and show such
an interest in recommending Hop Biters
as women. 1t is the only remedy peculi,
arly adapted to the many ills the sex is
almost universally subject to. Chills and
fever, indigestion or deranged liver, con-
slant or periodical sick headaches, weak.
ness in the back or kidneys, pain in the
shoulders and different parts of the body
a feeling of lasiude and dependency, are
all readily removed by these Biters.-

N0E Bet We Know Him.

The editor was sitting in his sane tum when man, laboring under considerable apparent excitement, walked m with his paper in his hand, and, pointing to small para graph, read: '.The genial Col Mumblebrock thinks of taking an eastern journey soon. May he enjoy a pleasant trip is. .he wish of his many friends"
 "Now sir said the excited man T am Col. Mumblebreck, and I have called to inquire by what authority you make this use of my name in your paper?
 First time ever saw it, replied the editor, glancing al the item, but I suppose it is all right My local reporter is quite enlerprising in his pursuit of news"
 But I never gave him permission to use my name in this manner" !" persisted the Colonel.
 "Very likely,.. said the editor But you are going East, ain't you?'
 "Certainly."
 And you haven't any objection to your friends wishing you pleasant trip?"
 That is all right, but I don't want my name in the Dapcr. and in the future you will oblige me by leaving it out"
 "of course," said the editor of you desire ii" and the Colonel bow ed himself stiGly out.
 "John," said the editor, to his office boy, follow that man and sec where he goes, and come back and report"
 John did as he was requested, and shortly after he came back and re ported that Col. Mumblebrock went to the counting room and bought twenty-five papers which, after marking something in them, he ordered put in wrappers, and was busy in directing them.
 Cincinnati is chock full of Col Mumblebrocks. They profess to be highly indignant if their names ap- pear in some trifiing item-wondcr how the reporter got hold of it, and buster about terribly, yet they are secretly delighted at seeing their names in print, and invest heavily in papers to send to friends. The only way to-really offend them is not to mention them at al Cincinnati Saturday Night.
