THE RED ACORN. BY JOHN McELRoY, Editor
Of the Toledo Blade, author OF "Anderson-
ville," etc. Chicago: Henry A. Sumner & Co.
washington: Brentano Brothers.
"The Red Acorn" is story OF the Civil War
as seen and participated in by the First
Division OF the Fourteenth Army Corps (trom
whose badge the book takes its name) aud tho
scene OF action is laid In Ohio, Kentucky and
Tennessee. 1t IS realistic story OF those who
bore the heat and burden OF the war, the
characters being all drawn from life, and they
love and laugh, fight and endure, In the lively
pages OF Mr.. McElroy's book Just as they did
In actual life. broad stream of humor flows
through the story and there are besides some
splendid bits OF word painting. 1t is essen.
TALLY true tale Of the greatest period In our
history as q Nation.
The american Angler (New York; VIM. q.
Harris, editor,) has Issued q special edition
for the trout season of 1885, 1t is q splendid
number and contains complete account Of
the trout In American waters. What renders
IL especially valuable to fishermen Is q list of
trout streams and how to reach them.
The Sdnitdridn (New York; OF April is an
interesting number OF this excellent medical
periodical. For some cause 1t does not es-
pouse the cause Of the Marine Hospital Ser
vice. Perhaps this is accounted for by the
fact that one OF Its collaborators Is Surgeon
General Philip s. Wales, of the Navy, who
details certain Naval surgeons as members
OF the National Board OF Health, but has
nothing TO do with the Marine Hospital Serv-
ice.
The CdnoelSt New York Brentano Brothers, }
for April Is very good number, and opens up
the coming season In fine style. Its poetry is
very good OF the Kind. The Cdn0eiS is tho
official organ OF the American Canoe Associa-
tion, which extends over New England, the
Middle and western States and some OF the
Territories.

THE CRITIC ABROAD.

Postmaster General Gresham, it is under

fortnight, in any event. He had grown
weary of playing judge and desired to be
Q lawyer. He had perfected partnership,

ator Mcdonald, and would have entered
upon the practice of law before instead Of re-
manning on the bench not later than May l..
The law firm he would have been con-
nected with stands in the front rank, and
he would have added still greater strength
So the Postmaster -Generalship was an
accident to him, and must have been a

On wager one of the sailors at the navy
yard proposes to mount the dizzy-heighted
railing balusters surrounding the dome of
the Capitol, high above the city, and run
around the circle ten times in five minutes.
From the park below a person on the dome
appears about the size of q mosquito;
therefore the dangerous nature of the feat
becomes apparent The attempt will be
made some day this week, and if Mr.. Jack
Tar becomes dizzy or slips and tumbles
from his perch up in the clouds there will
be circus on the sward below and no ad-
mission fee.
Shortly after the Chinese Legation ar
rived in this city, and located in their
present quarters, venturesome beggar
made bold, and approaching the door of the
legation building knocked timidly. The
aperture was opened by servant, who with
series of Oriental gestures and bows, much
TO the surprise of the beggar, ushered him
into one of the magnifeently-f Furnished
parlors, and summoned q member of the
diplomatic body. When the latter ap-
peared the solicitor of aims arose and
stretched out his hand, indicating palmer
than words could tell the nature of his mis-
sion. Judge his further surprise when the
Chinese official not only gave him liberal
amount from his own purse, but took up a
collection through the house for his benefit,
and then made him partake of refresh
ments, consisting mainly of Chinese con-
fections. The beggar went away highly
elated at the SNAP" he had struck, and it
was not long before the liberality of the
legation became generally known among
the craft" who have ever since poured in
upon the Cinnamon increasingly for a
"divy," in reality converting the Oriental
representatives into mendicant trust fund
company or associated charity organiza-
tion.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1888.

WE gave last,wcek some facts relative
to the water supply of Brandon. 1t was
stated that their works cost $4,000 !;
that their main pipe is twelve and eight
inches in diameter. But they make use
of no reservoir, and consequently must
have larger pipe than if one were en-
ployed. since in case of fire or other en-
Urgency the supply must be drawn from
the pipe itself. With reservoir. we
should not need so large pipe. Water
pipe comes in lengths of l4S inches ;
about 420 of these make a mile. Four
inch pipe capable of withstanding a $50
feet head weighs 2lS pounds to a length ;
6-inch, 375; S-inch 800 10-inch, 7G0. The
present prices Of pipe per gross ton, de-
livered to cars at New York, are : finch,
$1,000; G-inch, $3.50; S-inch, $500
10-inch, $3.50. This would make the
cost of pipe per mile, if our calculations
are correct, about as follows: finch,
SLIGO; 6-inch, s2,733; S-inch, $500
10-inch, So, 4G2. These figures are not
exact, but sufficiently accurate for our
purpose-to show how much cheaper a
small pipe is than large one and that
our works, provided Il reservoir is built,
need not cost more and perhaps not SO
much rs those at Brandon. The pipe is
of course, not the only expense, but it is
the chief item of cost.
We do not believe an adequate supply
of water for household, fire and drainage
purposes is beyond the means of our vii.
lage. 1t is true that we are not rich
The present generation has had heavy
burdens to bear-war debts, the cost OF
the graded-schOol building and the max
ing of roads. But, unlike these things
water-works bring in income, and the
income will continue to increase fol
years. Long-term bonds might be issued
bearing interest as low, perhaps, as oil
4 IL per cent. 1t is believed such bonds
could without difficulty be sold at par
Before long the income would pay the
interest. When once we get a water
supply, few will regret the cost; and
those who come after and enjoy its bene
fits will not complain at paying what
shall fall to their share.

TILE QUESTION OF TEE HOUR.

There seems to I've no abatement in
the general feeling of dissatisfaction
in regard to the present condition of
the wheat market, but on the Contrary
the agitation appears to be increasing.
Quite an excitement was created in

point in consequence of the structures
made upon the company by the news.

tended Rs q warning to other towns to
keep still on the subjector be punished
in like manner. This, however, is not
the proper way to meet the question.
Retaliation for the sake of revenge is
bid policy either On the part of the
people or the elevator company.
We call attention to one remarkable
Statement by Mr.. G. A, Pillsbury to a
reporter Of the Minneapolis Tribune.
He says: II admit that our elevator
agents are far from being infalible
aad must Of necessity make many
mistakes against farmers; but while
they are doing this they are making
ten times as many against themselves
and our books are opsn to prove this
fact" That is. the wheat buyers have
heen pursuing a policy by which farm
ers have had the advantage ten times
to their once. It seems then that in.
stead Of the elevator companies rob.
bling the farmers. the farmers have
been robbing the elevator companies.
We are surprised that such shrewd
men as Messrs. Pills5ury 4 Hubert,
when they have so much power in
their own hands. should keep on SO
long running business at a loss.
Seriously, Mr.. Pillsbrry claims so
much that it is impossible for us to
receive his statements as correct. ale
That proves too much, proves moth.
