g. p. Putnam and Sons have begun the pub
lication of very pretty little magazine un-
de- the title Of "Topics of tho Time" in
which they propose to submit series of rep
resontative essays on questions of the hour.
The first number Is composed Of papers on
"social Problems" contributed by
Robert Griffin, Jehan De Paris, ].
Woulfe Flanagan, Henry Labouchere,
Auberon Herbert, and Emile dc Laveleve.
These are all upon social and socalistic prob
lens, as affecting the present condition of
Europe. Mr.. Labouchere's paper, "a Demo-
crat on the Coming Democracy" is espe-
cially strong and significant.
s"s
Joel Chandler Harris is writing new series
OF his Uncle Remus" stories, many Of which
will appear in tho Century magazine before
they are issued in book form. Their title in
the magazine, at least, will be Nights with
Uncle Remus," and the half dozen stbffes
which will form the first group in the July
Century will show, it is said, that the loqua-
cious old Uncle's humor and ingenuity atiid
Brother Rabbits" trickery have suffered
no diminution since they last amused the
readers of the Century.

United States army at the commencement of
the war Of 1912, to the close of his admins
tration as governor of the sthte of New York
in 1874, was, with the exception of few
short intervals, one of uninterrupted activity
in the public service. The story of this cx-
tended and honorable career DIR. Dix tells
with loving elaboration and proud apprecia-

character. The narrative is enriched by CO.
pious citations from the more important
speeches and public documents of Gen. Dix,
which, by reason of his high and statesman

Death of Mrs. Rush.

Mrs. Elsie Rush, mother of Mrs. G. D.
Foote, died at the residence of her daugh.
ter July 11th. She had only a week pre-
vious returned from a visit to relatives in
Wisconsin. She made no complaint of ill
health on her arrival, but her friends saw
that she was unusually feeble, and she was
soon obliged to take her bed by reason of
an aggravation of some affection of the
heart which rapidly took on fatal symp-
toms. Mrs. Rush, with her husband,
Daniel Rush, came to Ohio in 1874 and
settled on farm little south of the Gen.
ter of Spencer, where they remained four
teen years. 1t 1859 they removed to Iowa
to begin second time pioneer life, but
after ten years of hardships too severe for
people at their time of life, they returned
to Ohio bringing all of their family that
remained, having lost while there two
daughters, Lucy and Delilah, by death.
Since their return they resided in Hunt
ington where Mr.. Rush died in June, 1879,
They were both many years members of
the Baptist Church and led exemplary
christian lives worthy of imitation. Flu.
neral services were held at Mr.. Foote'S
residence last Thursday, conducted by
Rev. Mr. Kennedy, of the Baptist Church
in Huntington The remains were taken
TO Spencer and buried beside those of her
husband.

A Cereus Matter.

Last night, during the hours usually given
to parties and receptions, numerous COM
pany, each group apparently surprised to
see that so many others were there, called
at the residence of Mrs. A II. Palmer to
pay their respects to young debutante
which, with undissembled modesty but
perfect selfpossession, was the center of
admiration and the subject of unceasing
compliment such as would have quite
turned the head of any other beauty.
This belle, unlike most others, was in
debted to the ladies for the larger part of
the enthusiasm and flattering commenda-
tion bestowed. The few gentlemen who
ventured into the presence of the charmer
either did not think it wise to be too de-
monstrative or were mildly impressed.
Seriously, very young beauty, when it
happens to be a pightblooming cereus, is
pretty old plant. Not less than twelve
years of watching and watering, of shelter
ing and cosseting, and this stately flower
is the long-deferred reward. The bud is of
slow development, but the flower finally
bursts with surprising suddenness, and a
queenly, star-like bloom, in robes of vestal
white, ten or twelve inches in diameter,
and with marvellous effects in the tender
depths from which satmen and pistils rise,
and in the deepening shades of the sue
cessive rows of outer petals that answer to
the calyx, from white to gold and tawny
brown.
Mrs. Palmer has several varieties of this
family of cacti, some others of which are
in bud and are kinds not often seen. The
one mentioned in a long Leader article a
few days ago as blooming in Brooklyn, was
a slip from this plant of Mrs. Palmer's 6
year and half ago.

Major Nickerson's second wife, in her
answer to the first Mrs. Nickerson's suit to
recover the house given to No. 2 by the
Major, recounts how he won her hand, how
she married him without the knowledge of
her family, being persuaded by pressing
reasons urged by him. She claims, and it
would seem with equity, that she married
him in good faith, the property was given
her while they lived as husband and wife,
while she was legally his wife, and that, il
she be allowed to retain it, that would be
but slight compensation for the injury
done her through no wrong of hers.-Cin.

Young Peoples Illustrated Bible His
tory.

Rev. DR.. Bond is the American editor of
this valuable work, which, as its title sug-
gests, is simple and attractive account of
the great events mentioned in both old and
new testaments. The lives Of the Patri-
archs, of Christ and his apostles and of the
remarkable women and children mention
ed in the Bible, are given with such clear
conciseness as omits nothing necessary to
the history, while it is adapted to the un-
derstanding of child. Rev. DR.. Samuel
Wolcott of Cleveland, says of it: "The
child that shall read, each day one of its
shortest chapters in order, will in one year
have learned without WEAKNESS, all the
leading events narrated in the Bible" Its
chronological end other tables would be a
valuable help to the Bible student. The
book contains general map of the coun-
tries mentioned in the Bible, map of the
Holy Land in the time of David, another of
the Holy Land in the time of Christ, one of
Jerusalem with plan of the temple, scrip
| ture table of time, an appendix with the
miracles classified, and the History of the
st. James version Of the Bible, and of the
New Revision. Rev. f. 81. NewhaH says
of the book: 1 have for some time used il
in my family and regard it as the best book
of the kind. Rev. Austin Phelps, of Ando-
yer Theological Seminary says: at cannot

Telephone Items.

The laws which govern the electric cur
rent have been thoroughly studied and are
becoming pretty well understood so that
in many ways it can be made to do the will
of man, but it is not yet, under all circum-
stances and conditions, an obedient servant
1t sometimes happens, as is supposed, that
both earth and air becomes either positive
or negative and then there is no more cur
rent than if such a thing as electricity nev-
er had an existence Such a condition is
not apt to continue long at a time. 1t
comes and goes, making it possible to use
the lines one minute and utterly impossi-
bic the next, and is more apt to occur just
before or during a storm. We have said
thus much to explain to telephone sub
scribers. the reason of the difficulty exper-
fenced last Saturday in using their instru-
ments. The bells will ring under such
circumstances, but no voice can be heard.

LATER.-The burglar who it is said did
the shooting was brought into town be-
tween one and two o'clock P. NJ. by the
Marshal of Oberlin, driven in an open car
riage by one of our liverymen, 8. S. Hall.
He is seedy looking young tramp, and
the excitement caused by his appearance
has not been equaled in Wellington proba-
bly, since the days of the negro rescue case.
Though driven rapidly to the lookup, il
was feared he might be taken from the
officers and punished without formality.
One of the burglars gives his name as
John Young, and the other, who it is
claimed did the shooting, gives his as
Augustus Frank TREY, of Terre Haute,
Ind. The first has been in the penitentiary
until twelve days ago, where he has been
since 1876 or 1877. He returned very soon
to his old profession.
The last one mentioned as arrested in
Kipton proved to be the man that was
wanted. He denies the shooting, and says
he left town at 8 o'clock last night. A
pistol, razor and knife were found on his
person. These were probably the proceeds
of burglary committed in Greenwich last
