LITERARY.

The English version of Professor Tope-
lius's Swedish Surgeons Stories" OF
which the initiatory volume was Times
of Gustaf Adolph," is continued in
Times of Battle and of Rest, the second
volume just issued by Jansen, McClurg &
Co. The stories of which these two vol
umes form part are known to all Swed
ish readers-indeed, to all readers CONVEX
SAINT with Morse literature, of which they
have been regarded as a conspicuous
ornament In the present volume are
found the same high literary qualities and
the same richness of material that were
so Justly admired in the eaIlier' one
One Of the most noticeable characteristics
of the author is his literary manifoldness.
None but the most accomplished literary
workmen can turn with such ease from
narrative to sentiment, from grand
description to playful humor from
chronicles Of court life and the stern
scenes of war to the tenderest and most
touching pathos. This versatility and
readiness are shown in the present volume
even more fully than in the first.

The game between the bookkaepers OF
this city, and the Davenport club, yester-
day afternoon. resulted in victory for
Rock Island by score of II to Z.
The Kimbarks, of Chicago, strong
amateur club, will play the Stars in this
city on Monday and Tuesday of next
week. These two games win be watched
with great interest, from the fact that both
clubs are about equally matched, and
there will be hard struggle for the su-
premacy.
The suggestion advanced by the ARGU
yesterday in regard to establishing an
auxiliary to the Northwestern league, has
met with popular favor. Cores
pondence should be had with the different
surrounding cities, and ascertain theil
views in the matter. We see no reason
why such an organization could not be
established without difficulty. 1t certainly
could if the interest is as great in other
cities as it is in Rock Island
The Stars base ball club will hereafter
play in the following positions: F
Wheelan, first basel. Cavanaugh, second
base; F. Hudson, third base: Charles
Hawkins, pitcher; e. Sage, catcher; A.

Yesterday evening Corporal Frank
Badger received a graceful and well
memted compliment from what is known
as the awkward squad of the Crescent
Rifles. During the past three months
he has d. voted all of his time and atten-
ton to this squad, instructing them in
tactics, being unLiring in his exertions
for the advancement OF his men; as a
result, they were brought to such state
Of perfection AS to enable them to enter
the tenn which will compete with the
leading commands of the country this
year. In recognition Of these services,
and with view of testifying their high
regard for Corporal Badger, this squad,

diamond sleeve buttons. Corporal
Badger is a magnifcently drilled man
and an excellent instructor, and is in
every way deserving of this attention

most cases it is for depredating upon
Government lands, when the parties of

naturally expected that II lecturer on the

all disappointed, some agreenbly, and
others disngreeably. We heard some OF
the audience going away muttering in
tones of displeusure at the lecture be-
cause it did not canonize Garfield,
while, on the other hand, many said that
it WAS true picture. When ingalls, got

HE Boston Ireoel1er, devotes
long article to the songs of the war,
in which it eulogizes ma ny of the
productions of the Federal muse and
finally winds up with the following
handsome tribute to the genius of
our talented Georgia f,iend, JAMES r.
RANDALL, the distinguished Southern
lou faalist and poet:
While there was plenty of endur-
ing poetry written during the war,
she number of really meritorious
songs THAI were given birth to were
few indeed. On the whole, we are
inclined to thmk that in this respect
the ScNth was in advance of us, for we
certaanly (Airs. Howe's noble effort
asi@e) do not possess single song of
the Rebellion at all comparable to
*'Maryland, My Maryland" and the
air to which it is sung is well fitted
to the words. We remember once
having heard it sung under circum-
stances that for the time made us
fancy it was the sweetest thing we
ever listened to. We had reached
Frederick City in Maryland after
distressing forced march, wearying
alike to man and beast, and ON going
into bivouac the staff to which we
were attached took up their quarters
on the piazza Of a lonely mansion,and
there, wrapping themselves in their
blankets, with their saddles fer pill
lows, sought needed repose. Sleep
refused to visit us. The night was
delicious one; twas warm, but a slight
breeze was stirring; the sky was
intensely clear, and the stars We're
many and brilliant. The stiffness
was prolund. Every one around us
was sunk in slumber Suddenly there
fell upon our ears the words
"T'he despots heel is on thy shore,
Maryland, My Maryland
The voice was mezzo soprano,full,
round and clear, and tina charming
melody was sung with infinite ten
derness and delicacy of shading. We
listened almost breathless, for twas
the first time we had ever heard the
song, and when it was concluded we
arose for the purpose of ascertaining
who was the singer. We found her
in the person Of a plump little negro
girl Of about sixteen years, with a
face blacker than the smoke of
Vulcan's smithy. As Desdemo"a
"saw Othello's visage in his mind
so we also saw the visage Of this girl
only in the sweetness of her voice,
which was Of a certainty one Of the
purest vocal organs we ever listened
to.
