LITERARY NOTES.

The editor of The Century has obtained
permission to print extracts from the pri-
yate journal by General Garfield during his
trip to Europe in 1867. The material in
cludes notes on debate In the House of
Commons, day in Westminster Abbey, a
sermon by Spurgeon, the British Museum,
etc, etc.
Robert Louis Stevenson, author of "Thc
New Arabian Nights" a book which has
met with extraordinary popularity during
the past year, has written for The Century q
series of sketches, entitled The Slverado
Squatters," being a description of curious
camping experience OF the author in de
serted California Oining camp.
With the view of awakening a wider in.
terest in the life, legend, and poetry of Dante
who is, to SO many, little more than great
name, The Century has arranged for seyeIs
papers, including an essay on the Life Of
Dante" hy Christian g. Rossetti with paper
on his Exile" and on the Portraits o
Dante" by Sarah Freeman Clarke.
-Rev. Washington Gladden, Ii. u.
whose "Christian League OF Connecticut
attacted so much attention in The Centar!
last winter, will furnish to that magazine
during the coming year essays on the gen
eral subject OF christianity and Wea tn, ,
touching the application of Christian morali
to the present phase OF modern life especially
in America.

OnoIal Junkst. at Public Expense.

A dispatch from Washington to the morn
ing papers states that Judge Lawrence, first
com ptrollsr of the Treasury, in referring to
a report that he would object to the expense
accounts for some Of the official pleasure
trips this summer, replied that none of these
accounts would come before him for super
vision. He said that the cost of running
the vessels of the navy ard of the marine
service was not increased by the presence on
board of Government officials, and he knew
of no other item of expense Of these
trips outside of the salaries of the
officials themselves. The idea that the
presence of a lot of public officials
on board naval vessel does not increase
its running expenses is ridicu lous, when
the extravagant living INDUCED in by these
junketers is considered. Champagne, fLe
liquors, cigars and luxurious viands are not
generally supposed to be part of the ordi-
nary equipment of our naval service, but
to the success of the modern official
junket. That they cost money cannot BE-
doubted, and there is also an additional ex
ira expense for the mere running of the
vessels upon the trips taken by these parties.
The fact of the matter is that the COD
scientieus spirit once so conspicuously ex-
hibited by President Buchanan in rec ard to
official junkets no longer has place in our
government, and these luxuries are in
dulged in at the expense of the
people, under the flmsy pretext that they
do not impose any additional cost upor
the government. Thousands Of dollar
have heen squandered during the past three
years in this manner, and instead of easinl
his official conscience with such ridiculou
excuse Judge Lawrence should carefully ex
anime these accounts and impose the ex
pense upon those who, in strict justice
ought to bear it.

Mark Twain tells the following at the
expense of the scientists of this day and
generation:
The Mississippi between Cairo and
New Orleans was 12l5 mi. long l16 years
ago. IL WAS 1880 after the cutoff of
1922. II WAS 1910 after the American
bend cutoff, soa.e years ago. IL has
lost 81 miles since. Consequently its
iength is only 973 miles at the present.
Nov, If wanted TO be one of those
pondereus scientific people, and prove
what had occurred in the long past, by
what had occurred in given time IN
the recent past or will occur in the far
future, hy what has occurred in late
years, what an opportunity Is here. Ge-
aiogy never had such chance, nor
such exact data To argue from. Nor
development of species either. Glacial
epoehs are great things, but they are
vacua--yague. Please observe:
In the space of l76 years the Lower
Mississippi has shortened itself 2l2
miles. That is an average of a tritie
over one mile and third per year.
Therefore any calm person who is not
blind or idiotic, can see in the old Oolit-
10 Silurian period. Just 100000 years
ago last November, the Lower Missis-
sippi river was upwards Of 100000
miles long, aud stuck out over the Gulf
of Mexico like a fishing rod. And by
the same token any person can see that
7i2 years from now the Mississippi will
be only mile and quarter long, and
Cairo and New Orleans will have joined
their streets together, and be plodding
comfortably along under a single May
or and n mutual board OF aldermen.
There is something fascinating about
science. One gets such Wholesale re-
turns of conjecture out Of such trifiing
investment of fact.
