NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.

In the North American Review for
May, Carl Schurz, treating of Party
Schisms and Future Problems" presents
many well-cOnsldertd observations.
Days with LOngfellOw," by Samuel
Ward, contains personal "reminiscences
of the beloved poet just deceased, ex-
tending over period of fOrty-tiye years.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, in an article
entitled "What Does Revelation Re-
veal?" seeks to prove that the objections
brought against the Bible by modern
unbeiievers are based upon mlscon-
ceptiOn of the true intent and scope OF
the sacred volume. Lieutenant Com
mander GOrringe writes of "The Navy"
with abundant knowledge of its needs,
and with a degree of frankness. w. h.
MaIlOck, in the first of a series of Con
versatiOns with Solitary" very inge-
niOusly contrives to put the advocates of
Democracy and modern progress on the
defensive. Finally, Gail Hamilton con-
tributes a paper, THE Spent Bullet" in
which science, the pulpit and the law
are taken to task for the part they
played in the Guiteau-Garfeld tragedy.

A Trua Blessing.

1t would indeed be a blessing to poor, weak,
nervous, debilitated, sufferings humanity. if
druggists would stop selling the many vile
purgative pills and cathartic compounds ad-
though they afford temporary relief, at the
same time they weaken the digestive organs
and compel "a continued and increasing use OF
the same. Sufferers from dyspepsia and liver
complaint do not need a cathartic, but should
use some true medicinal tonic that will
strengthen the digestive organs and heal the
diseased tissues of the stomach, liver and
bowels. Such a remedy is Browns Iron Bit
ters, and it never fails to effect a permanent
cure If you continue to live in poor health,
and are determined to die before your time,
you have only yourself to blame.-Courser.

1t has been said, and we believe tru
ly, that the statue which the people of
New Orleans design" erecting to the
memory of Margaret Haughery will be
the first tribute of the kind ever paid
to a woman in America. This novel
innovation in the world of art, together
with q most praissworthy and we'll di-
rected sentimentalism has, probably,
inspired the Boston ladies to put up a
static in that city in homer of another
woman, who like our Margaret, though
10 q different sphere of life, reflected
honor upon her sex. Harriet Marti-
neau's memery is thus to be commem-
Grated by the fair daughters Of the

highway pierced through the Swiss
mountains for facilitating communion

Europe. TlP Mount Gents Tunnel
opened a direct line between France

gained, and freely subsidized the st.

much sherter route for central Europe.
