HARPER.

II. w. Lucy's paper on Gladstone ut Hawarden Is
one which the average reader will probably mo
most attractive of all in the April num-
Der of Harper. 1t sets the portrait OF the
great Prime Minister in the CHEEKY frame
of home. giving such careful details OF
the looks and ways Of Hawarden as suihce 10
surround that remote figure with an engaging do
nestle grace. Many excellent illustrations accom-
pany the sketch Indeed in the matter OF illustra
ton the favorite old magazine has in this number
reached high place on the path to perfection. Inc
engravings which accompany Mr.. Lathrop's notes
OF journey in Spain are full OF talent
of painstaking and of knowledge. Some OF the
transcriptIons of Mr. Moran's San Juan
sketches are also excellent. In " Poor Ogla-Moga,
David d. Lloyd contributes a clever and comicai
satire on the sentimental view of the Indian ques-
ton. Its gay humor, its sly sarcasms, bring
needed brightness to the otherwise somewhat som
bre pages of the number. Miss Woolson's " Anne
grows more intense in interest as 1t nears conciu-
SION ard proves its authors right to stand without
question at the head of American woman novellsts.
Mrs Lilies story of Prudence ends IN dreary
fashion, and while it is full of good intentions and
pleasing rctinements cannot be called other than
failure 1t is as a story as limp one of the ladies'
of the aesthetic cult with which it deals

AMERICAN BREECH-LOADING SMALL. ARMS AND
HEAVY ORDNANCE. Compiled by CHARLES

pp. 1875. Boston: James Il. Osgood * Co. 1887
This new edition of General Nortons well-known
work carries forward the history of American IN
ventons in arms and ammunition Tor military anu
sporting purposes so as TO include descriptions OF
the latest improvements IN models and machinery
Not only are the weapons themselves described
and records gwen of official trials TO their accu-
racy but accounts of their actual efficiency IN de-
stroying life are added. Diagrams of targets pep
pered with bullets from the Calling gun do not
convey so vivid inn ression OF the value OF TINS
arm as do the narratives which SET forth now the
1urcomaps were astonshed when in the Khvan
expedition the Russians opened lire with battery
of these guns and how the same arms checked
rush of Zuus. and again moved down the Peru
Wan soldiers who attempted to storm the CHILEAN
earthworks at San Francisco. These same nara
tives. too show that one American weapon. at
least forms part of the equipment of almost every
army on the globe, and there are other arms from
American factories which are almost as widely
distributed.
The peaceful citizen has only to glance at the
table of contents of this work to gain an enlarged
conception of the elaborate preparations Tor killing
people which have been going on during the last
fifty years. and the book itself will probably In
crease his astonishment. From the construction OF
a cartridge for pocket-pstol to the casting OF
hundred-ton gun, all the various processes of manu-
facture are detailed. The peculiarities of the
various classes of weapons and OF the individuals
in each class are set forth in clear, sraightfor-
ward style. The printing and engraving are exc
cuted with neatness and elegance which CORE
spOnd with the polished perfection of the arms de-
scribed. and the widemargined pages are pleasant
to look upon.
1t ought to be added that an interesting chapter
treats of kind of gun and proIectlle which IS
bronze hfe-savng gun which throws prOectile
having braided line attached to it for the purpose
of etfecting communication between the shore and
stranded vessels.

Mr. Mason is so thoroughly informed on his sub
feet that he has perhaps failed to understand fully
the needs of those for whom this book is written
1t is doubtless intended to be primer for the in
structon of those whom lack of opportunity or in
terest prevents from reading larger books such as
Mr. Smless IIuguenots.' But Mr.. Mason as
sumes far moIe intimate acquaintance with
French history than likely to be met with in the
class whom he addresses. This seems radical
fault bat if it is set aside there IL little else TO say
except in commentator. Beginning with Francis
l. he follows the history of the Huguenots down to
the esent time dwelling, of course, more fully OH
their legal status their contests and their claims up
to the Revocation of he Edict OF Nantes, but giving
also a rapid sketch OF events since then. Some
space is devoted to notices of the achievements OF
prominent IIuguenots, whether in France or IN
exile and the whole is written in an easy, agree
able style. The author writes with a tone of great
impartiahty and his studied moderation of Ian
guage is especially praiseworthy.

A Witty Answer Turneth Away
BOreS.

The man who travels on the rail
road and sits down by the side of
lone females while laboring under
the impression that he recognizes a
likeness in their faces to his wife's
aunt's cousin met his match on one
of the roads in this vicinity lately.
He sat down in the half of seat,
the other half of which was occupi-
ed by q pleasant faced young lady.
His first question was:
"Pardon me, Miss, but is your
name James? [ have cousin of
that name whom you greatly re-
semble ?"
"No, sir" was the reply, "my
name is not James. But, pardon
me, is your name Zinc or Copper ?"
Zinc Or Copper? No, Ma'am,"
said the astonished man. "What
led you to suppose l had such a
name? ?"
Excuse me-" was the quiet re-
ply, "but [ thought you must be
first cousin to a brass foundry"
The man fell over two seats, and
kicked a bird cage half way down
the car in his haste to get into the
smoker, while the young lady smil-
ed gentle smile behind her hand
kerchief. 1t was a proof of the old
adage that a witty answer turneth
away bores.-OI City Derrick.

PARKERsBURG, Jan. 4th, 'S2

PARKERsBURG, Jan. 4th, 81.
ED. FREEMAN After an absence
of ten days in Harrison county, we
returned home last Friday evening.
1t was our pleasure to enjoy a
most gracious religious meeting
with the good people Of Mt. Olive,
and with Rev. W. d. Barger, the
pastor, Rev. J. T. Williams and C.
Jones. We had our home among
that people seven years, and it was
a great treat to us to visit them
once more.
Sixteen persons professed faith in
Christ while we remained, and a
number were still seeking pardon.
We can attest to the uniform kind
ness of the people Of Harrison in
days Of other years, but they even
surpassed themselves this time.
Besides the kindness shown us in
their homes Of wealth and plenty
they gave us a donation Of over $40
and a christian gentleman sent
Mrs. Graham present of S. in gold.
Both ministers and people will
long be remembered by us for these
tokens of appreciation to us and
ours.
We talked temperance and FREE
MAN while among them, and Sc
cured few subscribers for your
most excellent paper, and got the
assurance that others would be
forthcoming before very long.
In our absence, our home was in
vaded and our family had to sur
render to the invaders. While out
on a temperance tour with we edi-
tor, not long since, our house was
attacked in the same manner, but
no serious damage was done on
either occasion. When the recent
raid was over, my family found
themselves in possession Of a num-
Der of valuables, and if that is the
way raiding goes, our latch-string
is always out to raiders. These are
kind tokens Of friendship that we
can never forget. Sunshine is more
enjoyable than shadow, and it does
the anxious pastor and his family
great deal Of good to know that
they live in the hearts of such kind,
and devoted people. We are so con-
stitutod that we shall ever remem-
Der our friends longer than our enc
mics.
We also wish to acknowledge a
neat donation from our old-time
