in that time, will pay up his subscrip-
ton and renew for another year.
SNIFKINs once put down his name for
five hundred dollars on church sub
scription. By doing so he not only won
a reputation for charity and goodness,
but also achieved an excellent advertise
ment for his tailor shop. When he
went home he cut down Bridget's
wages and pared off little from the
weekly wages OF each of his score of
WOrkmen. In this way the five hun
dred dollars all came back in a little
time, and Snifkins was enabled to eat
his cake and to keep it, too. In much
the same manner James Gordon Ben
nett subscribed one hundred thousand
dollars to the Irish Relief Fund, and
then reduced the wages of his employ
es and increased the rents of his ten
antry-many of the latter needy Irish
laborers-until he is reported to have
thus aggregated yearly gain of twenty
thousand dollars. In each case the
Charlatan won the praise while Labor
paid the bills.
APPLEToN's JOURNAL for April con-
tains paper giving an inside history of
the Suez Canal, that is likely to create
no little sensation at the present mo-
ment. The other contents of the num-
ber are of varied interest. A paper on
Huth's just published Life of Buckle
and an examination of the tendency OF
New Fiction are the distinctive literary
articles. A series of papers by the fam
Gus DR.. Richardson, of London, on
" Health at Home" begun in this num-
ber, are full of valuable practical sug-
gestions. The second part OF the strik-
ing story, The Return of the Prin-
cess" is given, and "The Seamy Side -
is concluded. There is paper on Mid
die Glass Domestic Life In Spain; on
Stage Anomalies, with some good anec-
dotes; one on Forgotten Aspects of
the Irish question; on the religious sect
of India known as the .Jainas; on a Ma
tional Theatre, and editorials on num-
ber of current topics. D. Appleton &

EVEN while admitting the existence OF
the Grant boom there are but few who
appreciate either its strength or danger
GUS character. Those who are plotting
to agaiu put Grant into power are men,
reckless and powerful, who, having
once tasted the sweets of irresponsible
power, long to do SO again, and who will
stop at no scheme however traitorous
to the liberty of the country. And the
chief danger of the movement comes
from this character, or rather lack OF
character, in those manipulating it.
Having once lived upon the royal favor
they seek to restore that era of corrup-
ton in which they and their bloated
ofror host al1n fr md
the toiling masses. Those who doubt
this assertion should read the following
list compiled by the New York San and
which, as the. paper remarks, might be
greatly extended, were it necessary to
do so. But as it is, it is long enough to
show the motives of those working for
Grant. And from the motives it is easy
to deduce the purposes both of the lead
er and of the frcebooters who follow
under his banner.
