OURRANT LITERATURE.

Beginning with the November number, TEE
CENTURY will continue as nearly consecu-
lively as possible papers on the conflicts Of the
recent great war for the Union by prominent
officers, often those first in command, and in
every instance participant in the engage
ments under consideration. The battles Of
Shiloh and vicksburg will be described by
General U. s. Grant, who will contribute four
papers to the series; General Beauregard will
write OF the first Bull Run General
Mcclellan Of Antietam General Rosecrans Of
Stone River, and 30 on. The passage Of the
forts below New Orleans will be described
by Admiral Porter, the western gun boat
service by Rear Admiral Wake, and the fight
between the Monitor and the Merrimac by
Colonel John Taylor Wood, the senior sur
viving officer Of the latter vessel. Other
prominent Confederate generals have
engaged to contribute, and some Of
these contributions will be hardly
less notable than those above mentioned. In
several instances briefer supplementary
papers will chronicle special incidents or con
slider special phases Of an engagement. Per

THE ALMIGHTY TARIFF.

Now, Mr.. Blaine in his famous letter
has laid down HIS pretentions, and Mr..
Blaine, you know, is a master Of preten-
sion. He has taken care to claim every
thing, all the blessings Of free govern

soil, the unlimited territory, the steam
boat, the railway, the telephone, the
very sun that warms, the breeze that

speak of the assisted immigration Of
labor, all that the toll Of men and women
has produced In the United States has

Grain freights from Chicago to the
seaboard are at the lowest point ever
known The fifteen cent rate per
hundred pounds is for the time bning
the regular one, the twelve-and- -a-half-
cent rate is reported, and is not re-
ceived with increduEty. These rates
barely pay the cost ofhauling, and leave
nothing of interest charges or the low
est conceivable returns for capital actu-
al invested. This is said to be in &C.
cordance with the predictions of twelve
years ago. AS suggested with much
force, that the stock watering and ap-
parent monopoly could be remedie1 by
the building of certain lines of state
railways, which, though likely to be a
burden to the state, would justify their
cost by the fact that they would fix the
maximum rates beyond which the cor
porate companies would not be able to
go. The forty millions of water" in
jected into the so-called capital of the
New-York Central and Hudson River
Railroad was the indirect, if not the di
rect, source from which sprang the
West Shore Railroad, and that road
with all its embarrassments, is to-day
the most important fact with which tn,
Vanderbilt direction has to deal.

Connecticut as we'll as New York is
beginning to suffer from the wholesale
destruction of forests, and the decrease
Of the volume of its streams is already
marked enough to arouse alarm. The
matter has been brought before the
legislature, and it is proposed to have
the state Board of Agriculture make q
thorough investigation and report next
year, not only as to the best action for
the state to take, but also as to the pos
sibility of securing concurrent action by
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire and
Vermont for the protection of forests
near the sources of the Connecticut and
other rivers. The destruction of the
forests about the headwaters of the
Connecticut has already diminished the
volume of that stream, and its future
navigation below Hartford is threatened,
sis the navigation of the Hudson be-
low Troy.

Since the Cincinnati riot, one of the
branches Of the Ohio Legislature has
passed law repeating the exemption Of
those belonging to military companies
from jury duties in important criminal
cases; reduced the criminals right to
peremporty challenges OF the jury from
twenty-three to six, and raised those Of
the prosecution from two to four. The
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette urges
two more-the relief of the Supreme
Court from the revision and reversion Of
verdicts; and the reduction Of the time
between murderer's sentence and his
execution from 100 to thirty days.
The Legislature had already passed a
law prohibiting his intelligence from
disbaring man from jury duty; SO that,
altogether, it will be observed that the
news from Cincinnati has reached Co.
lumbus.

The supreme court of Pennsylvania
has rendered q decision to the effect
that minority stockholders in a corpor-
alton have a right to inspect the books
and papers of the organization at reason
able times for legitimate purposes, and
that such right may be enforced by man
damns. There can be no doubt about
the injustice of such decision, and the
frequent exercise Of the right in ques-
ton by minority stockholders would
have wholesome general effect. Too
often the holders of the majority of
stock in corporation manage its prop
erty and affairs without any regard to
the interests or wishes of the minority,
and frequently to their serious disad-
vantage.

The scientific officers of the United
States Signal Service at Washington
have been making close observations OF
late in order to satisfy themselves as to
the theory that disturbances in the sun
cause unusual atmospheric disturbances
on the earth. Their conclusion is that
so-called sun-spots have very little if
any connection with our great wind
storms. They give it as their opinion
that these terrific storms are caused by
a collision of warm and cold currents OF
air, especially in the springtime, fol-
lowing the advance of the warm weather
northward.

The country will soon be deluged with
congressional speeches. This occurs
every presidential year, and as usually
the case, the more new men there are
in the house the more speeches will be
printed. Not one in ten are ever de-
livered, but the orators get leave to
print and then put their speeches in the
record, commencing "Mr., Dusenberry
than addressed the house rs follows"
with applause" continued applause, y
Cheers" and similar parenthetical
words run in through the text. The
practice has been severly ridiculed but
without apparent effect for this year
the nuisance is more aggressive than
ever before.

Laskers Romance.

There has just appeared, under tho
title, "kvenements dune anne humane, !"
a biography Of DIR. Edward Lasker,
late chief of the liberal party in Ger
many. We find the following love
episode in the work:
In 1866, then in the flower of youth,
and already celebrated as an orator,
became acquainted with Miss Russack the
niece of one of Bismark's warm friends.
| Lasker fell in love with her, and his
passion was reciprocated. Miss Rus
sack bade her lover to demand her hand
of her uncle, who filled for her the place
of father. The uncle refused point
blank, saying he would never consent to
give his niece in marriage to a man who
was the leader of the opposition to his
friend Bismark-Bismark, whom he
held to be one of the greatest of Euro
pean statesmen. Franziska-such was
the fair girls name-then declared to
her uncle that she would renounce her
whole fortune in his favor, provided he
would allow her to marry Lasker.
But old Russack was immovable in his
resolution. However, returning one day
from visit to his friend Bismarck he
sent for the young lawyer, and said to
him: II am willing to grant you my
niece's hand on one condition, namely
that you pledge yourself to abandon
politics altogether and confine yourself
hereafter to your profession of lawyer. ("
Lasker, after brief interview with
the young girl, refused.
ave shall wait" he said, "until your
niece shall have attained her majority" /"
He did not dare to add-"or until your
DEATH"
heuncle left Berlin, taking with him
his niece Franziska, who died abroad
six months later, after having refused
the most brilliant offers of marriage
approved by her uncle, who even offered
to add his own fortune to her own as a
dowery.
This is why Edward Lasker never
married.

How Gen. Gresham's Father Died.

How Gen. Gresham's Father Died.
Postmaster General Gresham father
was killed while he was sheriff of Hnrri-
son county, Ind, in 1884 The story
is thus told by Chicago Tribune cor
respondent:
"a constable called at the little cot
tage and informed Sheriff Gresham
shat Levi Sipes. who was notorioue
character of those days, had been steal
ing, and that he (the constable) was
afraid to arrest him. L will co. said
Gresham, and, putting on his hat and
coat, he went with the constable about
ten miles, almost to the edge of the
county, where Sipes was found at o
dance. When Gresham and the consta-
BILE entered the room company of per-
haps two or three dozen men and wom-
en- of the lower order were on the floor
dancing to the music of two fddles.
Sipes, like the others, had his coat of,
but when he saw the sheriff he put it
on and stepped out Of another door.
| Gresham followed, and when he got
outside, Sipes was in the corner between
the house and an old fashioned chimney.
| The sheriff saw him and told him what he
| had come for. Sipes replied that if he
advanced he would shoot him, where
| upon Gresham stepped forward to make
the arrest, when Sipes fired, the ball tax
| ing effect in the temple, and as he fell
Sipes stabbed him in the heart with q
knife, the wound proving fatal, Gresham
dying without word. Sipes was taken
to jail two days later, and after long
and tedious trial, in which almost every
person at the dance was witness, the
jury rendered the following verdict the
morning of April %, 1884, after being
out three days: "We, the jury, find the
defendant, Levi Sipes, not guilty of
murder, as charged in the Indictment,
and do find him guilty of manslaughter,
and award that he be punished at hard
labor in the states prison for and during
the term of twenty-o years, and that
he be fined the same sum of 81 900. +"
The finding of the jury for manslaughter,
instead of murder, was upon the ground
| that the law did not require the sheriff
to put his life at stake to dicharge official
duties. Sipes went to the penitentiary,
but for some reason in short time was
pardoned by the governor"

sirable blocks on Main Street
are still for sale to those who
desire to engage in business, and
great inducements are offered
to that class of men.
The climate in this part of
Dakota is everything to be
desired and is fully as mild
as that of Ohio, Indiana and IL
linois, with, perhaps, a less num-
ber Of cloudy days. The rain
fall is abundant and always
comes when most needed. The
water is free from any alkali
