TIE ECLECTIC MAGAZINE.

In the May number of the Eclec-
tic Magazine we find the usual
amount of good reading. The open
ing article Frederick Harrison Is
"The Ghost of Religion" is a
mingled criticism and eulogy OF
Herbert Spencer's article published
in the last number of this maya
zine. An article on aChinese Cor
don," from All the Year Round, will
be read with deep interest. The
paper on "Platform Woman" from
the Nineteenth Century, is u strong
argument, from the purely feminine
standpoint, against the new agita-
ton. "Stepniak," who writes on
ssTerrorism in Russia and Terrorism
in Enrepe," is one of the leading
mouthpieces of the Nihilists. The
biographical essay by L. I'll. S. Es-
cett en- 'Mr. Hayward" is descrip-
ton of very remarkable man by
one that knew him well. All Am
ericans will be interested, perhaps
seandalizsd, by the bitter diatribe Of
Sir Lspel Griffin, entitled, "The
Harvest of Dcmocrcy," which sup
plements the one previously publish
cd in the Eclectic, called "Philistia. .
Others papers to which special at
tention may be directed are: "The

AN AFFECTING SCENE.

We clip the following from the
EUangelical Messenger. What a
terrible revelation of sorrow And
what an eloquent lesson of warning
No man sins unto himself alone.
Others are affected by his offenses.
This wife and these children are not
only widowed and orphaned by the
dreadful crime of a husband and ia
ther, but through life the disgrace OF
his bloody deedand hangman's death
will stain their otherwise fair names ;
A heart breaking scene occurred
in Southern State several weeks
ago, showing the bitterness and cru
city of sin and the sufferings OF
helpless innocence with the guilty.
John Thomas, convicted of murder,
and sentenced to be hangedin April,
1884, was on his way to Atlanta
iail, where he was to be confined
until the date of the execution.
While waiting for the train at the
railroad station in Palmetto his wife
sat by him, her head upon his
breast, sobbing violently. His three
little children were gathered at his
knees, kissing his hands and beg
ging him mott go: AT length one
of them noticed the steel manacles
on his wrist, took hold of them, and,
pulling them vigorously, said:
"Papa, what have you these on
for ~
The child kept trying to pull
them off, ignorant of the dreadful
truth of why they were there. Fail
ing to release him, the child appeal
ed piteously: w
"Papa, do please take off these
ugly things; | don't like to see them
on you. Take them off so you can
lift me on your lap"
BY this time the other children
joined in the appeal, and the crowd

A NOHEL MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE.
\ NOTARY IN BED WITH THE MEASLES

A NOTARY IN BED WITH THE MEASLE LES
T. PERFORMS THE CEREMONY. sRe
r. A dispatch from Columbia, s. c.,
of the 18th, says a romance of re-
| markable kind has Just developed in
Greenyille City. Or. j.. e. Carpen-
| ter, a young man from '.down coun-
try recently became involved in a
difficulty with a neighbor and came
up to the Mountain City to recuper-
ate from the effects of bullet hole
through his lung. Miss Kate Gwinn,
a pretty and accomplished blonde,
whose mother owns a fine planta-
ton in Pickens county, went to
Greenville to spend a few weeks,
boarding at Magnolia Cottage. Both
she and the young doctor were fine
musicians and, ere long, it was whis-
pered that the bond of sympathy
between the young couple had re-
suited In an engagement. DIR. Car
penter boarded with his cousin, A.
b. Wright, just across the street
from Magnolia Cottage, and he and
Miss Gwinn were together most of
the time. All was going on smooth
ly until Miss Gwinn's brother sud-
denly appeared and informed his
sister that she must return home
with him the next day. Whom the
doctor called that evening his sweet
heart explained the state of affairs,
and after some deliberation they
concluded to be married that night.
1t was then nearly midnight. In
the same house with Mr.. Carpenter
boarded Mr. Welborne, notary pub
lie for the city Of GreenviIle, but
he was confined to his bed with the
measles. The young couple went
to DR., Carpenters boarding house
and called up Mrs. Wright. 1t was
then few moments of midnight.
They talked with Mr.. Welborne and
he consented to perform the cere-
mony. The young couple went to
the sick man S room. He sat up in
bed and read the marriage service,
pronouneing them man and wife,
his bed fellow, Mr.. Gussett, mean
while snoring Justify. After the
conclusion of the ceremony the
young people went to DR. Carpen-
ter's apartments and the witnesses
to the novel midnight marriage re-
turned to their beds. In the morn
ing when the brides brother came
for her he was told of the ceremony,
and returned home alone. DIR. Car
penter and his bride are still in the
city and are receiving the congrat-
ulations Of their many friends. This
marriage is unparalleled in the an
nails of the State. 'i ''i-'

THE MAY CENTURY.

Portraits of famous soldiers hav,
been a feature of recent numbers O
The Century, and the frontispiec'
of the May number beginning g
new volume) is portrait efa famous
warrior, "Chief Joseph, the Nez-
| Perce" whose character and valo1
are picturesquely described by Lieu
tenant G. E. S. Wood.
Henry James's new three-part
story is begun in this number. The
title character, "Lady Barbarina, y
is the charming daughter of an
English marquis, and the hero,
jackson Lemon, is young Ameri-
can millionaire who makes a pre-
tense of practicing medicine. It is
clear from the first part Of the story
that the novelist has undertaken to
describe a new phase of information
al society. The short story of the
number is "Rose Madder," :" an illus
trated romance of artist life. Mr..
Cable contributes the seventh
part of CDR. SEWER and Robert
Grants story of Gan Average Man"
approaches its conclusion.
OF special value among the popu-
lar illustrated papers is Julian Haw-
thorne's description of "The Salem
of Hawthorne" which contains
much new and valuable biographi-
cal analysis. The continuation of
Mr.. Beniamin's narrative of the
cruise Of the Alice Nay deals with
the west of Newfoundland, ,-"The
Bay of Islands, in Calm and Storm"
A careful series of papers by Mrs.
Schuyler van Rensselaer, on "Recent
Architecture in America" which
has long been in preparation, opens
in the May number with consid-
Grafton of the merits of many new
public buildings. Dr. Charles Wald-
stein contributes an important arch
geological paper on the "Metopes Of
the Parthenon," in which illustra-
tions are given of the head in the
Louvre, which, as he recently dis
covered, is a fragment of one of the
Parthenon marbles in the British
Museum.
In timely essays, the May num-
Der is unusually rich. Thomas
Hughes writes Of Grades -unlonism"
in England; Mrs. Helen Jackson
(H. HI makes a clear statement of
the religious convictions and censo-
lations of the Mormon women in an
article entitled "The Women of the
Bee-Hive;" John Burroughs writes
suggestively of British Fertility )"
and Frank r. Stockton satirizes the
growing tyranny of children in a
short essay "On the training of
Parents" "Topics of the Time"
contains editorials on "Military
Morality" "Wanted A Party of
Progress" and The Dorsheimer
Copyright Bill" And among the
"Open Letters" are articles on edu-
cation, prohibition, and tenement
house reform; a biographical sketch
of the late VIM. M. Baker, by Mrs.
Rebecca Harding Davis; and re-
views Of "The Bread-winners" and
other new novels.

To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette 3:
L suppose you will be rather sur
prised to get a letter from me, but
thought that perhaps l might con
tribute something of interest to th'
younger readers of THE GAZETTE il
briof description of the New Yorl
State Military Academy, at thi'
place. 1t is a model of the West
Point school and is situated on Cay.
uga lake, which is very near the
center of the State. I will begin by
giving the order of the day:

7:2O, bell prayers; 7:3O, bell, break
fast; s, salute-grand rounds; 8:15,
bugle, inspection of quarters; $50,

ish drill; 5:45, buglc, get ready for

evening prayers; 8;15, bell, gymnas-
tics, 8;45, sword exercise for officers;
9, drums, tattoo, get ready for bed;
9:15, taps, drums, lights out.
There are guards stationedin each
hall of the buildings during the
winter, but out side daring warm
weather. This part of our duty is
the most obnoxious of all, as it is
not at all pleasant to be dragged out
of bed to stand guard in the wet on
a rainy night This guard is of lit
tie use, except in preventing the
boys from slipping out on pleasant
nights and going down to "Daykins"
for a "high old time" Of course
this preventive does not always
" erk. The principal of this school,
Maj. Flint, is a graduate of West
Point. He was also In active SER
vice during the late war. He is a
strict disciplinarian and thoroughly
his duty and the man
agement of the boys, having been
,as we think) one of them himself.
l am sorry l can not give my old
young associates a fuller description
Of this school and my present sur
but 1 must close here as
the bugle has just sounded.
Yours respectfully,

OVER THE LINE.
THE NE WSY LETTER OLA GIRO
MIC. RAMBLER.

IAE NE WSI LETTER. OF a CHRO-
NC RAMBLER.
To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
Drifting along the highway of
life there are many things occurring
that serve to vary the monotony for
time, and among these and fore
most, rides rampant the ever per-
picking political question, which
calls into imposing array the two
great factions which have gone into
training now fer the great presiden-
tial contest of 1884. The immortal
poets "to be- according to the eter-
nal fitness of things, is in order for
discussion just now-while the "net
to be-" will, like the hand writing
on the wall, remain an untranslated
problem until after the election.
But as we are running ahead of the
times little, in this particular, we
will take our bearing nearer home,
or, as you would more properly term
it, "get into a localizing frame of
mind"
The COED, eld-fashion custom of
hand-shaking, is being strictly OBJ
served among candidates now. Their
eagerness to know-"If you are
well, +" and the hearty hand-shake,
shows unmistakable signs of some
thing behind the bush. All of them
want to serve the good people, but
alas how many towering castles in
the air will be demolished when the
ballot box lays bare its secret. It's
a pity there are not offices enough
for us ALL If such was the case,
would you object to taking one
where the burden was light and the
pay liberal?
On our wanderings through East
Tennessee, we find the farmers all
busy trying to make up for lost
time occasicned by the late spring
and bad weather. AS a general
thing the wheat crop looks promis-
ing.
Farmers are beginning to find
that there is virtue in the use of
fertilizer, and many are using it
with success.
A little boom in the way of build
ing has struck the old town of
Greeneville-a wooden factory, a
large warehouse aud an opera hall
are going up, and as there is always
room for more, we hope the mag
nitude Of the boom will be increased.
All along the line of road from
Bristol to Knoxville, there is room
for improvement. The soil offers
an ample reward for labor expend-
ed, facilities for transportation are
unlimited, and all we lack is ener-
gy and enterprise. Where can be
found a more healthful climate
and where is there a more inviting
prospect to those who are wanting
homes than that offered among the |
hills and valleys of East Tennessee?
Our educational advantages are not
to be excelled, churches Of every de-
nomination are found all over the
country, and yet with all these ad-
vantages, broad acres Of land 60 ev-
cry year untouched by the plow,
and yield nothing for want of indus
try. When these gaps are filed up,
and new homes are built by unyield- |
ing perseverance, and capital and
labor combine for general improve
ment, then will East Tennessee be-
come one vast garden spot, bloom
ing and bIossoming like the rose.

Charles Reade, the English nov
elist, died at London on the 11th of
April. He was born in Ispden, Ok
fordshire, in 1914, and was the
youngest son of John Reade, sub
stantial gentleman of that place. In
1885 he was graduated from Mag
dalen College, Oxford. He after
ward studied law, and was called to
the bar by the Society of Lincoln's
Inn. He never practised law, how
ever, but at % years of age gave
himself up wholly to literary work,
writing plays and stories which
were published anonymously in the
magazines and newspapers Of the
day. AS a Novelist, dramatist and
polemic writer his name and his va
rieus works are fresh to every read
er of current literature. Personally
Mr.. Reade was large, broad shout
looked much younger than he was,
until, within few years, several de-
mestic Affections aged him. He had
long been a sufferer from bronchitis
and moved some time ago from the
malarlous locality in which his resi-
dence stood to a house next his ell
der brothers, on the Uxbridge road.
He called his former house 'Naboth's
Vineyard, because he had defended
it successfully, after four years
battle, against a corporation that
wanted it.
