 The November Century marks the begin ming of the fifteenth year of the magazine fhe fourth under the present name) and also the beginning of the most extensive enter prise yet undertaken by it's conductors,- the recently announced series of papers on f'The Civil War;" by Generals Grant, Nc Clsllan, Roseerans and others in high rank. The first paper, on ''The Battle of Bull Run, !" is contributed by General Beauregard, who adds to his description of the engagement g postscript on the subsequent conduct of the war on the Confederate side, and his own relations with Jefferson Davis. The illustrations, some twenty-f five in number, are largely from photographs made during the war, or from recent sketches of the battle field, and are by Fenn, Taber, Thulstrup, Redwood and others. The first part of the "Recollections of Private'' be- gins with the enlistment. of the soldier, and continues the description of his life down to and including Bull Run, thus supplementing Gen. Beauregard's account of that battle. That the variety of the magazine is not like ly to be sacrificed to the War Series is evi dent from the other contents of the issue. The frontispiece is one of MT. Elihu Vedder's Illustrations of the Rubaivat of Omar Khavvand, the Persian poet, five others of which are reproduced, with text by MT. Horace E. Scudder; ssThe Chinese Theater, ? by Henry Burden Mcdowell, is an entertain ing paper, with striking drawings by T.

Frost has illustrated to MT. Harris entire satisfaction. Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote has drawn full page picture to ac- company story of Colorado, by MT. T. A. Janvier, entitled "The Lost Mine" The fic- tion comprises also "A Tale of Negative Gravity" by Frank'R R. Stockton, and the be- ginning of a new novel by MT. w. D. How els, dealing with the life of an American business man, and called F'The Rise of Silas Lapham." There are other articles too nu- merous to mention, and all good.

A story of English Ignorance.

From the London Spectator
 To Americans who all resent the stigma of miscepenation, and know it's incompati- bility with the pride creoles take in their race, this is rather startling English mis- takes concerning class distinctions in Ameri- ca are often egregious Just such a mistake caused to be enacted little bit of comedy in an English castle some years ago, wherein three well-born American maidens and the daughters of their English host were the chief actors The American girls were cousins. One was Ellen Lewis Herndon, the late wife of President Arthur; another, Ellen Mercer Herndon (by their middle names they were always distinguishedD, now Mrs. Seth French of New York, and the third was Mamie Maury, daughter of Capt. Matthew Maury, the scientist. The two accompanied Capt. Maury as far as England, where they were to remain while he went on to attend reunion of savants in Berlin, the young ladies, all schoolgirls in their younger teens, ne!ng permitted to accept an invitation to y1slt the home of a titled Englishman, who had often been entertained when at Washington by Capt. Maury One day, after luncheon, the girls English and American, belng all left to their own desires, began conversation aI1out life in America. Just then Miss Maury,

What do you meanT' The English girl with all her sang froid quietly replied: 'tFrom Miss Maury s dark complexion and eyes and black curly hair. we supposed she was 8 creole, knowing that you are from the Southern States, and as we know her father is not negro, we thought her mother must be. :" "Her mother is sister to our father,n cried the Herndon cousins at once, land you insult us all.

THE SIT. JOHN FOLLV.


 The St. John folly is getting good many hard knocks nowadays Many prominent and sensible prohibitionists see very plainly that the cause which they have so much at heart is not likely to gain anything by il, ,and may lose great deal Therefore they are doing what they can to restrain prohibition ists from helping their worst enemies the Democrats into power.
 One of the latest to come out against the St. John movement is the Rev. J. E. c. Saw yer, of the Troy Methodist conference, and a prominent and consistent advocate of tenn perance reform It. having been reported that he had been offered considerable sum of money by an agent of the Democratic State committee to help the St. John move ment, the reverend gentleman takes occasion to say that the report is not correct; but he adds, ''that the Democratic managers are encouraging the St. John movement, for the sake of the damage they hope it may do the Republican party, we all know" and ''that they would give money for the purpose I cannot doubt" He considers the third part in this campaign simply a tender to the Democratic party. 'SEvery vote for that party is virtually vote for Grover Cleve- land, who not only stands on an anti-prohi- bition platform, but also chose to make his commendation of that feature of the plat form of the Democratic party the only sig nifcant part of his letter of acceptance. From the opening of the campaign have been compelled by my convictions as radi- cal and lifelong temperanc man to frankly oppose the third party movement as injudi cious, reckless, inconsistent and calculated to do much harm to the temperance cause"
 These are plain words and well worth heed ing by the really sincere friends of prohibi- tion. It is astonishing that the St. John movement should have received such sup port as it has. Those who vote the prohibit ton ticket this year will simply observing as assistant Democrats

COMMUNICATIONS. S.
A Cruel Driver.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 This morning I witnessed piece of what. seemed great and unnecessary cruelty to a balky horse which was attached to groeer's or butchers wagon and was driven by young, red-faced fellow, who refused to give the owners name to those who asked for it. He tied pieces of twine to the horse's legs and then frightened the cords with stick, which undoubtedly gave the poor creature great pain, and he also filled it's ears and mouth with gravel. There was no name or number on the team. Who are the proper officers to complain to and where are they to be found? Some who saw the affair thought the team camesfrom the City market. It was going up Chapel above Howe street Will you not publish this in your paper? Perhaps it will assist in causing the mans punish ment.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A pretty fine legal point has been decided in Charleston, South Carolina. A colored man was before the police court for keeping an unlicensed dog and put in a plea that the dog was not dog, but a puppy. The judge discharged him, passing his decision on his knowledge as a dog fancier that puppy is puppy and does not become dog till it is a year old.
 They have some remarkable thieves in Philadelphia. One of them not long ago stole the zinc roof off the almshouse. Now it has just leaked out that four brass cannon, relics of the rebellion, weighing over 900 pounds apiece, were stolen over year ago from the cellar of the Second Regiment ar mory in Philadelphia. They were so heavy that derrick must have been used to lift them from the cellar. By and by somebody will be stealing the city hall if the police are not more careful.
 The cultivation of flax is becoming an i'm portant feature of agriculture in the North west. It is only within recent years that the mills for the manufacture of linseed oil in this country could secure the necessary raw material except by importation, but last years yield in the United States aggregated about 7,0O0, GOO bushels, and the total this year promises to reach from 5000, 900 to g, ,000, ,000 bushels fully one-haf of which is raised in Minnesota and Dakota. The plant produces on-the average as many bushels to the acre as wheat, and as the price ranges from s1 to LIS per bushel the crop is de- oid lu AG an n that diyersifcation of our agriculture which is so desirable, the growing attention that is paid to flax culture is healthy sign. The Civil Service commissioners of Massa- chusetts have made considerable progress in their work during the past month. In the latter part of August circular was issued to the heads of the several State departments and the mayors of cities asking for certain information in regard to the offices and em- ployments to which the provisions of the Civil Service act apply Most of the officers | to whom the circular was addressed have fur | nished the desired information; a partial classification of the service has been made and the rules are now being drafted. The
 commissioners will probably be able to sub init their work for the approval of the gov ernor and council by the middle of Noyem-
 ber After the rules are approved they must
 be advertised at least two months before they l go into operation; so that there are not like 1 ly to be any examinations for some time to
 come.
