cism, the following specially attractive fea-
lures: Oliver Wendell Holmes. author of
The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table etc..
whose inimitable series of Breakfast Table,
papers, poems, and essays has been SO conspic-
uous and delightful a..feature of the magazine,

Atlantic. Henry Wadsworth LongfeIlow left
completed dramatic poem entitled Michael
Anglo, which he was more than ten years in
writing. The first. installment of the poem,
which is in three parts, will appear in the
January number. Nathaniel Hawthorne left
among his manuscripts the plan and sketches
of novel, which will appear in the Atlantic
under the title The Ancestral Footstep: Out

tion appears in the December number, with
an introduction by Mr.. George P. Lathrop

1888 Mr.. Henry James, Jr., author of The
Portrait Of Lady, will contribute to the first
volume of the year Daisy Miller: A Comedy.
"a dramatization by Mr.. James of his stery
Daisy Miller, which has had SO great popu-
larity in England and America New charac-
tiers and situations and incidents are intro
duced; the entire story is re-cast and re-writ-
ten, so as to render it more dramatic; and yet
the features which made the story, as origin
ally told, SO attractive are all retained. Mr..
James will also write for the Atlantic some
critical and literary papers, such as the read
ers of the magazine have heretofore found so
admirable Mr.. w. d. Howells, author of
Their Wedding Journey, etc., whose stories
and essays have so often delighted the readers

How Monkeys are Taken.
The Fatal Avarice of the Fathers of the
Human Race.

An old, had cocoanut is taken, says the
London Field. and very small hole made in
the shell. Furnished with this and a pocket
full of boiled rice, the sportsman salles into the
forest and stops beneath tree tenanted by
monkeys Within full sight of these inquisi-
tive spectators, he first eats little rice, and
puts little into the cocoanut with all the os-
tentation possible The nut is then laid upon
the ground, and the hunter retires to a conven-
lent ambush. The reader may be sure that no
sooner is the man out of their sight than the
monkeys race helter-skelter for the cocoanut.
The first arrival peeps into it, and, seeing the
plentiful store of rice inside, squeezes his hand
in through the tiny hole and clutches hand
full
Now, SO paramount Is greed over every other
feeling connected with monkey nature that
nothing will induce the creature to relinquish
his hold. With his hand thus clssped he CAN
not possibly extricate it, but the thought that,
il he let's go, one of his brethren will obtain
the feast, is oVerpowering. The sportsman soon
appears upon the scene. The unincumbered
monkeys fly in all directions; but the unfortu-
nate brute who still will not let the rice GO is
theI eby handicapped, beyond hope, with CO
coanut as large as hmself-a state of affairs
quite fatal to rapid locomotion, either terrestri-
al or arboreal The sequel is that he falls an
easy capture to the hunter, victim to his own
greed. Even when caught he reads In the &C
lions OF his captors design to rob him OF his
rice and he clutches 1T all the harder, and the
very first thing he does when tie nut is cracked
and the hand released is to cram its contents
into his mouth. Thoughts of escape come af-
terward.

Questions to Candidates for Office.
With Their Answers.

We copy as follows from the Ocean Chroni-
Gle, published by Capt. e. P. Nichols on board
ship Frank Pendleton-extra edition issued at
Rio, July 81, 1882. The captain presents some
home thrusts in pointed manner:
What is ship?
A ship is construction constructed of wood,
iron and other material; it is propelled by wind
and sails; goes to all parts of the world. Ships
are built by private individuals and controlled
by government.
For what purpose ana ships NADER
To maintain Shipping Commissioners in the
home ports, Censuls in foreign ports; to pay
town taxes and assist the general government.
Ought any of these taxes to be abolished?
Yes, the town tax should be abated and add
ed to the Consuls and Commissioners fee. The
town to which ship belongs has no claim ON
vessel after she is launched.
What States furnish most OF the ships?
The New England States.
What States furnish most of the Consuls and
Commissioners?
The Middle and Western States.
Who pays their salaries?
The New England States.
What is United States Shipping Commits
sioner, and his duty?
A u. S. s. Commissioner is a man appointed
to hold an Office, furnish clerks, etc., for any
amount not to exceed $4,000, and be able to lay
up four or five thousand year. His duty is to
much trouble as possible for ship.
Who framed tie United States Shipping
Act?
1t is almost an exact copy of the English Act
with several clauses inserted to increase the
salary and stealings of officials; English records
alone can give the names of those who framed
the Act.
What is a United States Consul?
United States Consul is man chosen by
government to watch over and collect fees from
American ships in foreign port; to see that no
Englishman, Frenchman or Dutchman leaves
the ship without getting three months pay,
leaving one month for Government; (2) to
drink champagne with tourists, and hold a
ships papers until all fees are paid.
Name some of the charges with which you
should all be familiar
Receiving and delivering ships papers, one
cent per ton. Noting protest, So 90. Certif-
cate that the papers are deposited. $500. For
allowing seaman to sign articles in the office,
$500 (now unwisely reduced to $1,000. Certif-
icate of desertion, ST. 90. Copy of agreement,
$150. Official VISIT on board, $5.0 and tae
drinks etc., etc.
How do these charges compare with those OF
other countries?
About threefold more.
Upon what principle must all officials con-
nected with vessels work?
Upon the same principle, and with the same
instructions as in the old game of button
0iz:; Hold fast aohat giue you and catch aohat
/ you can"
What is seaman?
A seaman is an one who goes on board of a
ship and pays 40 cents month TO government,
$500 for shipping, 30 cents for paying off, and
b cts. for discharge. Let us unite in prayer.

THE United States at the close of 1881 had
within 1000 miles as much railroad as all of
Europe. For the ten months of the present
year the Chicago Railway Age reports el4s
miles of completed road, and estimates that
the total footing for the year will be not less
than $4,000 miles, This puts the United
States ahead in the matter of railroads not
only of all other countries but of other conti-
nents. Should it continue to increase at its
present rate, and other countries maintain
their accustomed moderate pace, in less than
miles of railroad in the United States as in
all the rest of the worl besides.

DURING the past four years government
lands at the South have been selling rapidly.
The Southern States in which the govern
ment owns lands are Arkansas, Alabama,

there were sold in these States 4S1, ia acres;
in 1880 the sales increased to 996,s15 acres

in 1882 the purchases amounted to 2, 1855, 1874.

HAVING heretofore expressed an opinion
favorable to THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITAIN
MICA, Ninth Edition. furnished to the sub
scribers in this country by Charles Scribner's
Sons, aid having advised those who consult
ed me to buy it in preference to all others,
l am willing to say to those who may care
or my Judgment, that such examination as
1 have been able to give the volumes as sue
cessively issued, has only increased my high
opinion of the great value of the work, and
nv desire that all who can afford it should
become posessors of it.

THE extent to which the post-office is
used for the transmission of small parcels
can be imagined from the very heterogene-
Gus collection of articles which, having been
returned to the dead-letter office, are abont
to be sold at public auction. 1t is said there
are about 5000 of these packages, and al
most every conceivable species of portable
property is represented on the list of their
contents. When it is remembered that
these are only the articles for which the
postroffice people have been unable to find
owners, the magnitude of the pos.al-carry-
ing business which the department transacts
can readily be realized.

THE cotton producers are growing enthu-
siastic over the proposition for a universal
cotton exposition in 1884. The project
seems to have received fresh impetus from
the success that attended the recent exposi-
ton at Atlanta, and events now seem to in
dictate that such fair will be held.

From EDWARDS A. PARK

Abbot Professor in Andover Theological Seminary,
Rave been familiar with the Eighth
Edition Of THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNI-
CA since its disqualification, and have re-
garded it as eminently useful to scholar,
especially TO clergyman. I have paid some
attention to the volumes already published
of the Ninth Edition, which regard as de-
cidedly superior to the Eighth. l cannot
hesitate to recommend it, as in Itself libra
ny of rare value.
