A Literary Revolution Challenge.

The old line publishers have, very
naturally, not been well pleased with
the now famous enterprise, 1.-THE
Literary Revolutions" and in depre-
citation of its character have laid
special stress upon the claim that in
cheapening books 50 vastly it is against
the interests Of American authors.
The revolution boldly meets this
assertion by statements as follows
lst. That they are already paying to
American authors more money than
any other publishing house that is less
than twenty-five years established.
I'd. That American authors rarely
receive from publishers a copyright
exceeding 10 per cent. upon the retail
price of their books actually sold.
Sd. That at least one-half, and prob
ably more nearly three. fourths, of the
books published by American authors
have been published at the authors
expense, the publishers furnishing no
money, and paying no copyright, but
themselves receiving large percent
age upon sales made. 4th. That they
propose hereafter to pay to American
authors for acceptable manuscripts u
copyright of Is per cent, instead of
10 per cent. and they claim that their
low prices, and immense sales result
ing therefrom, are far more in the
interest of authors than much larger
copyright on the commonly limited
number of sales - zone thousand
books, profit $lO0 each=Sl 900. One
million books, profit one cent each -
$4,000.
AS an example of an American
copyright book, they issue, in an ex-
ceedingly handsome form, the famous
poetical, historical, and satirical
American classic, IN Fingal, an
Epic roem,' by John Trumbull, with
very full annotations by the celebrated
historian, Benson ]. LOSING, LID.
This poem is almost as much part of
American history as the battle of
Bunker Hill itself, and DR.. Losing
has greatly increased both its interest
and its intrinsic value by his historical
comments and illustrations. This
book WAS published few years ago
by one of the old publishing houses at
the price of $500 per copy, and had
only very limited sale. The pub
fishers claim that the reception of
their new edition guarantees sale of
ut least 80, 200, or even more probably
100, 900 copies; and Mr.. Tossing will,
of course, reap handsome reward,
even from the small royalty upon the
low price. American Book Exchange

One of the most sensational and
remarkable escapes from prison took
place at Goldsburg, North Carolina,
recently. A convict named Kitchen
CHM, confined in the penitentiary at
that place, occupied a cell with a sick
companion. The companion died and
the body, after being shrouded, was
placed in coffin, and the undertaken
went home to dinner. AS soon as the
door had been locked CHM, who was
in bed pretending to be sick, got out,
took the dead man from the coffin,
placed him in the bed, and got into
the coffin himself. When the burial
party returned they placed the coffin
in wagon and drove Off without dis
covering the deception. Before they
reached the burial ground the corpse
began to roll and kick in the coffin,
which so frightened the undertaken
that he ran away, whereupon the man
lifted the lid OF the coffin and es
capped.

State Convention,

The Republican State Committee
met at Harrisburg last Thursday
April IA. About fifty members res
ponded to the call of their names.
Chairman Cessna presided. Erie,
Philadelphia and Harrisburg were
mentioned as the place of holding the
next convention. After some discus
sion Harrisburg was selected as the
place and September sth as the time
of holding the next State Convention.
Col Hooten suggested that the thanks
of the Committee should be rendered
to Chairman Cessna and the Secreter-
les for the efficient work done i'm the
last campaign. This was adopted, and
led to neat little speech from the
Bedford statesman, reviewing the
work performed and its good results.
The Committee then adjourned.

Mr.. Windom is deyelopin1 a Liz

MIR. Window is developing a line
Of policy OF his own. BY the man
ufacture Of silver dollars and the i'm
portation of gold our currency is being
constantly more aud more inflated.
Mr.. Window proposes measure
which will be at once one Of re.
sumption and contraction, viz: the
withdrawal of all the legal tender
notes from circulation of the demon
ination OF ones, twOs, and fives. This
will decrease the greenback currency

doubtedly have the effect of drawing

from the Treasury, and bringing gold
coin into much more general use.
Should this be continued, rs proposed
up to and including the twenties, $147,-

course, however, depends on so many

Governor st. John has sent a let
ter to the Woman's Temperance
Union OF Chicago, which sets at rest
various rumors relative to the nature
and probable operation of the pro-
hibitory law in Kansas. The
Governor writes: THAT many of the
whiskey dealers in this State are
moving to Kansas City, Mo-, is true,
but for every saloon keeper that goes
out of Kansas on account of our pro-
hlbitory law, a sufficient number of
sober, industrious. energetic families
come into the State to build school
houses, and Kansas can always afford
to trade her saloons for school-houses.
and drunkenness for sobriety That
part of the letter which alleges that
the law interferes with the free and
unrestricted sale Of tinclures or COM
pounds that are used solely for med
icine, is not true, nor does the law
directly or indirectly interfere with
the right to administer or partake of
wine at communion services. All
such stories are instigated and circu-
lated by the whiskey ring in order to
break the force of the prohibitory law
in this State, for the advocates of free
whiskey well know that when it has
been thoroughly tested and proved,
which it will be, that prohibition in
Kansas is a grand success, other
States will follow our example, and
eventually the policy OF prohibition
will be a fundamental law of the
United States. Notwithstanding the
law does not take effect until the lot of
May next, already most of the in
terror towns of the State have
closed bars, and after the lst of May
we will not have an open bar in Kan
sas, nor will Kansas ever again be
guilty Of giving the sanction of law to
that which everybody knows to be
wrong"

Some statistical genius has figured
out that only about IS per cent. of the
brakemen on freight trains die nat
ural death, and the average life of a
brakeman after he assumes the duties
of his position is but ten years and a
fraction over. 1t is estimated that at
least ten brakemen are killed in the
United States every day, or 1850 dur
ing the year. Twice that number are
set down as injured while on duty.
According to this showing, if a man
becomes tired of life and desires to
take himself out of the world, all that
is necessary for him to do is to hire
out as a brakeman and take hi,
chance.
