LITTELL's LIVING ACE FOR lSS4.-For
forty years the Liriag Age has been pub
lishec with uninterrupted success, and has
enabled It's readers, at small expense of time
and money, to keep pace with the literary
progress OF the age. Frequent in issue, and
unequalled among periodicals in amount of
matter, it furnishes an unrivalled compila-
ton of great and growing literature which
embraces the productions of the most emf
nent living writers in all departments of lit
erary and scientific work And as this litera-
ture grows wear by year in extent and i'm
portance. the Liring Age becomes more and
more valuable. Filling the place of many Pc
riodlcals, it can hardly be dispensed with by
any American reader who desires thorough
compendium of the best literature and
thought of the time. Its prospectus for
1854 is commended TO the attention Of all
who are selecting their reading matter for
the new year. Reduced clubbing rates with
other periodicals are given, and to new sub
scribers renting now for the wear 1884 the
intervening weekly numbers are sent gratis.

Life Saving Service.

The perfection TO which our life saving
service has attained is matter for National
pride and congratulation. 1t is beyond hui
man possibility that system could be de-
vissd whereby every shpwrecked sailor
should be rescued and every dollars worth
of property saved. So far, however, as is
possible, with the extent of our present SER
vice, the lives and property of tlose involv-
ed in marine disasters, coming within its
limits, have, during the past year, been very
largely preserved by the daring and skill Of
the noble seamen employed along the coasts
of this country.
The annual report of the superintendent
of the life saving service shows that at the
close of the year 1874 stations we're in opera
ton. Of which 40 were on the ATTAIN
tic coast. The results of all the disasters
within the scope of the service aggreg ate as
follows:
Total number of disasters, 4l6; total val
ue of property involved, S7,242, 720; value
of property saved, S5,61l,700 property
lost 81 100000; total number Of persons
involved, 1886; number saved. 40l1; num-
Der lost, 10; total number of shipwrecked
persons succored at stations, 65l; total
number of DAYS succor afforded, 1879. In
addition. % persons have been rescued who
have fallen from wharves, piers. etc, and
would have persisted without the help Of
the life saving crews. The disasters during
the year exceeded By Il those Of the year
preceding The amount of property in
volved was S2.476, 1913 greater than in the
preceding wear. but the amount lost was
$3.50 less, while the amount saved was
50 500 .2i3 more the number of lives lost
was seven more than in the preceding year !;
but, in proportion to the number Of persons
endangered. it is 6 per cent less. The as
sistance rendered in saving vessels and car
goes has been much larger than in any
previous wear, 49, vessels have been worked
of when stranded, or otherwise assisted.
There we're. besides. 125 instances (39 more
than in the preceding year, where vessels
running into danger of stranding were
warned off By the night signals of the
patrols. most of them thus being saved from
damage The 'oerintendent attributes
much Of the high .iiciencv Of the service TO
It's utter exemption from political influences.

Mrs. j. Ellen Foster ON the Iowa
Amendment.

Mrs. J. Ellen Foster the noted advo-
cate of prohibition, was in Ohio when
the dccieion Of the Iowa supreme court
touching the validity of the constitution
al amendment reached her. She imme-
diately telegraphed Rev. L. X. Young,
pastor of the First NJ. f. church of Des
Moines, that she would reach Des
Moines Sunday and would, with his per-
mission, speak fromhis pulpit that night
The request was granted, and moder-
ateIy large audience came out to hear
her. She expressed great dlsappoint-
ment and chagrin at the final result by
which so much hard work mad been lost
to the Temperance people, but declared
that this was no time to halt, and that
the whole thing must be done over again.
Speaking for herself, she declared that
the republican party must meet the
question and carry it on to a successful
issue. Meantime, the legislature should
be convened and the wine and beer
clause of the present statute be repealed,
thereby securing without further delay
all that the amendment would have
given. The matter of a constitutional
amendment could then be taken up,
passed and submitted to vote of the
people for their adoption in the form
prescribed. The governor is to be be-
sieged with petitions asking the coRven-
ing o the legislature for the purpose
above specified.

Since the verdict of the jury giving
Miss Alice Livingston $4,000 damages
against Henry Fleming, the young New
York millionaire, the defendant has dis
covered new evidence, that Of form
er coachman, who is willing to swear
for d consideration-tha he has been on
intimate terms with Miss Livingston.
Mr.. Fleming alleged that she had been
intimate with others than himself, but
failed to confirm his staten by proof,
and it was utterly diseredited by the
jury. The word of man who takes a
young girl to hotel Of bad repute, she
being in ignorance of the surroundings,
