LITERARY NOTES.

marjorie Huntingdon, by Miss Har-
riett Pennawell Belt, daughter of Z.
James Belt, of Wilmington, Delaware,
is a work of fiction of rare interest.
Miss Belt, although only about nineteen
years of age at the time this work was
written, possesses the judgment of much
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1884-10-25

more mature years III the grouping of
her characters. In the work she exhib-
its rare knowledge of human nature. In
style the story very greatly resembles ga
Chestnut Burr one of E. P. Roe's
most happy efforts, volume which has
found ready readers all over the civilized
would. We cannot honestly place ''Mar-
.iorie Huntingdon one whit behind this
work ; indeed, in some particulars the
story is much more calculated to leave
its imprint upon the memory. In both,
the heroine is young, unsophisticated
girl of strong moral principle, deter min
ed under any circumstances to follow
the lead of duty and right. The work
Of E. z. Roe is considerably overdrawn
and many of the situations are unnat-
ural, while Miss Belts story is natural
from beginning to end. We repeat our
first assertion, i'll other words, that it is
a rare treat to peruse this volume. We
trust it may have such sale as to place it
in the hands of every reader of fiction
in America. Published by J. B. Lippin-
colt 4 Co., Philadelphia.

and that 1 neither expect nor want an

Persons who were awake heard the
whistle of SCOTS fertilizer mills, and many
who were asleep, were awakened by its
loud blowing on Tuesday night last, about
eleven o'clock, and a general 81 stampede was
made in that direction The general opin-
Ion was that, the mills were on fire, and the
Waterman had sounded this alarm. Many
got out of bed, and ran in the direction, but
when they arrived they found that all the
fuss was caused by the weight dropping
from the whistle valve arm, and the whis-
tie being open blew at its own sweet will.
Colored people on Water street covered up
their heads when they heard the whistle
blast, thinking it was blown by the man
who was murdered there few years ago.
Altogether this little incident created more
excitement and fun about town than any
thing that has occurred here since the fair.

"A great revival meeting has been in
progress at the Glasgow, Del Methods st
Episcopal church, ever since its dedication
on last Sunday week. The series of meet
ings, held nightly have been unusually well
attended and great interest has been mani
tested. AS many as a dozen persons have
been forward for prayer at time, and sew
eral have professed conversion. The pastor
Rev. Mr.. Atkins is a Jealous and untiring
worker, and to him is due, more than to any
one else, the inception and active continu-
ance of the meetings. At first there was
but little encouragement to continue them
but in spite of these unfavorable symptom
he pushed ahead, and the result has been,
a series of very successful services. A
number of persons from this place have
aided in these services, notable among them
being Mr.. G. G. Wright, who rendered very
efficient aid on dedication day and at a
number of the subsequent meetings.
