Literary Notes from the Century.

MIR. +. G. Stedman's essay on Elner-
son, which will be the chief literary
feature of the April Century, is said to
deal mainly with the poetic aspect OF
its subject. 1t will be accompanied by
a portrait, engraved by Cole from a
daguerreotype of Emerson taken when
IN his prime.
The April Century will contain six
full-page illustrations, among them a
picture, "At Sea-" drawn from the
graver, without previous drawing or
photographing of the subject, by FL
bridge Kingsley. 1t will illustrate one Of
John Burroughs out-of-door papers.
This picture is noteworthy as being
particularly commended, and indeed,
the only American engraving that was
commended, by Seymour Haden in a
recent lecture in New York.
Major Ben. Prrley Poore has written
for the April Century IA paper on the
"Capitol at Washington, containing
many "reminiscences Of events hat have
taken place thin It's walls, as well as
a history Of the building The article
will be fully illustrated, including
among its pictures a sketch Of the scene
in the Hall of Representatives during
the Garfield Memorial Services, portraits
Of John Randolph Of Roanoke, Daniel
Webster, and others distinguished dur
ing more r,crn' years.

Con II rnnatiOn Service.

Last night the Reformed Episcopal
Church Of the Rcleemcr, Southwest
corner of Eighth and Monroe streets,
was filed to overtiowing On the occasion
of the confirmation and preaching Ivy
Bishop VIM. X Nicholson. The ser
vice began precisely y at I, 30 p. m, with
the evening prayer read in very I'M
pressivc manner by the Rev. MT Rey-
nOlds, assistant rector Of the Second
Reformed Episcopal Church of Phila-
delphia. After evening prayer the
Bishop preached an able gospel sermon
from Psalms rs, II.
The rector then read the preface to
the service of confirmation, and invited
the persons to be confirmed to come
forward to the chancel. Nine persons
came forward and presented themselves
to the Bishop. The questions being an
swered by the candidates asked them by
the Bishop, then all knelt at the chancel
before him, and the Bishop placed his
hands on each and every person sepa-
rate.
The remarks of the Bishop to the con-
firmatiOn class were very excellent, and
no doubt will be long remembered by
the persons for whom they We're intend
ed. The rector announced the names OF
two persons whom he received from the
Protestant Episcopal Church, after
which the congregation was dismissed
with the bcnediction by the Bishop.
The members of the church are very
much encouraged with their success
and hope in a few years to see a
brown stone church built on the present
site,
