RECENT LITERATURE.

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY. New
York: d. Appleton q Co. Fifty cents a number,
IS year.
The November Popular Science Monthly leads
OFF with an illustrated article by T. w. Mather
on the subject of Flying Machines" 1t gives
history OF the chief inventions Of that kind,
and q great deal of information on the scen-
tifc problems and conditions involved and the
reasons for believing that the navigation of the
air Is practicable. Modern Science and Mod
ern Thought" is a readable and vigorous article
from new English work under that title by
D. LANG, d. Z. The liberal tendencies of mod
ern opinion following the revolution Of scen-
hfc ideas are presented in a very effective man
ner. J. NJ. Heating discusses Twenty Years
OF Negro Education" very instructively, by
giving an account of the progress that has been
made in the Southern States, both in overcom-
ing prejudices against the teaching of the col
ored races and in devising and carrying out
plans for its extension. The first and principal
portion of Sir Lyon Playfair's address before
the British Association at Aberdeen is given on
the Relations of Science 10 the Public Veal"
This elaborate discourse will be finished in the
next number, and will be memorable as the
most thoroughgoing defense Of State interven-
ton IN scientific matters that we have yet had.
Sir Lyon himself is the Prince Of scientific poll
tlcianS, ard Is better prepared to talk about it
than other man of his time. 1.-TWO Wonder
full Instruments" by Albert I.efiiugwell, NJ. D.,

ony of Lunatics," by Henry de Variany, is a
fresh and instructive accounted the remarkable
experiments at Gheel, in Belgium, concerning
the treatment of the insane, which have long
attracted the attention of the world. That
brilliant and versatile writer. Prof Grant Allen,
discourses charmingly on the rural subject of
Glover" and John 7. Hume offers some i'm
portant points" on "The Art of Investing"
One of the strongest articles in this number is
by Prof. C. A. Eggert, of the Iowa University,
on 1.-The Problem of Higher Education" He
takes the liberal side on the classical question,
and throws a good deal of light on the histori-
cal study of Greek, and especially on the treat
ment of that subject in the higher schools and
universities of Germany. "The Motor Gen.
tiers and the Will" is a very able paper by DR..
Horsley, on one of the most subtitle problems of
physiological psychology, and well illustrates
the steady progress that is being made in un-
raveling that mysterious subject. There is
biography of President Playfair, with a por-
trait, and an unusually copous and varied
mass of information in the several tabular de-
partments, which close the magazine. This
number is one of more than usual interest and
strength.

(From Photograph taken just before Marriage)
When the bride had exchanged her we'd
ding robe for a skirt of Olive-green silk, with a
redingote of soft, fine camels hair shade lighter
and richly embroidered, and her bridal veil of
tulle for a travelling hat, the good-bys were
said, at which time her soldier father was COM
pletely broken down, he alone seeming to real
iZe what perils the future held for his daugf-
ter, whom he had given to an alien and COM
parative stranger to take with him to a foreign
land, where he would have exclusive control
over her.
The couple drove from the White House to
the special train, which conveyed them to New
York in coach with four horses
In New York again they received many fiat
tering attentions during their stay at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, where they remained until they
set sail for Europe on the Baltic, two days
later, Saturday, May %. They had an ovation
on board the steamer, and salutes were fired
from all the military posts and naval vessels
in the harbOr as the couple sailed away.
President and Mrs. Grant and others of the
family had arrived in New York on Friday,
and remained to see the only daughter and the
new son-in-law off on the steamer. There
again Mrs. Grant was more composed than her
husband, whose better judgment, it would
seem, had been overcome when ne gave his
consent to the Marriage, as in other instances
in his history before that time and subse-
quently, by the coaxing of the women of his
family. He was positively made ill by the
wedding, and many believe that his daughters
marriage was a sorrow to him for the remain
der Of his life.
Her troubles began say some of those who
were her fellow-passengers on that voyage, on
her wedding trip. She was sea-sick ell the
time, and her husband was so neglectful of her
that it excited the indignation of the Ameri-
cans on board. He, it is said, took more wine
than was good for him during the trip, and the Y
Americans Oh the vessel seriously thought Of
holding meeting to express their righteous
wrath at the way their Presidents daughter
was being neglected by her husband. He was
then about % years old, and she within few
weeks of being 10.
He took her to the country nome of his
father, near southampton, in England, after
they arrived, the vessel larding them at South
ampton, where, strange to say, he had made no
provision whatever for the comfort of his poor

"0UR NELLIE"
The Clouds Over the Married Life Of
Nellie Grant SartoriS.

Few who were much In Washington between
1865 and 1869 fail to recall the pleasant picture
Gen. Grants four children-three boys and n
group)-made driving to school in the little
pony wagon, driven by one of the boys. Those
who remember sweet-faced little Nellie Grant
then; and later, when in the White House, pet
ted as the only daughter Of family always is,
have naturally heard with deep regret that she
has not been cared for with equal tenderness
by the husband who was the first love of her
young maidenhood. From the time her father
became prominent during the war until her mar
riage Nellie Grant. as child and young woman,
received 1attcriug attentions probably from
more people outside her own relatives-each of
whom almost adorod hcr-than any other
equally young girl in this country has ever
done for the same length of time. She was
only nine years old when her father assumed
command of the army, and from that time until
her marriage was constantly receiving proofs Of
the interest she inspired.
She was nea-y IA years old when her life in
the White House began, and was usually pres
ent at all her mothers receptions from that time.
Yet so gentle and modest was her natural DISPOSE
ton that when she began participating rs full
1edged young lady in the gayeties of Washing
ton society it was generally conceded by all
who observed her unaffected manners that she
was not in the least spoiled by the petting and
fattery that had been for SO long lavished
upon her. Especially was Nellie Grant her
soldier fathers idol, even more than she was
her mothers, who, as is often the case with
mothers, conferred her affection upon her eldest
son--now Col. Fred. Grant.

A Flock of Grouse Invade q Town.

The citizens of the village of Wurtsboro, Sui
Ivan Co., n. Y, were very much astonished on
Tuesday of last week by large flock of grouse
which few into the town. The birds seemed to be
bewildered. dashing about in frantic fashion,
some dropping into the Delaware 81 Hudson Ca
nal, others dashed themselves to death against
buildings many were killed by wire clothes-line
and others were impaled on barbed wire fences.
The dead birds lay thick upon the ground in
many of the streets, and it is thought that out
of the large number that flew into the place not
more than five or sixrecovered themselves suffi-
GENTLY to seek place of safety.

SHERIDAN AND THIS sECRFTARY.

Rotary of War Endicott continues. The imme-
date trouble is with reference to Capts. Greg

arc required under the recent order Of the Sec
rotary to return to duty with their regiments.
Sheridan was very unwilling TO part with these
members of his official family, and protested
vigorously against the execution of the order,
but the Secretary was memorable, and the staff
officers were relieved. Gen. Sheridan feels that
he has been uniustly dealt with, and now re-
fuses TO detail other officers to ill the vacancies
in his staff thus summarily created.

Persia may be the central point. The

Jeremiah b. Cunningham, young
clerk employed by II. l.. Hobart, mo-
lasses-dealer, Of No. 100 Front street,
stabbed and killed Samuel Chase, fell
low-clerk in Hobart's counting room. at
3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The
story Of the stabbing is by no means
clear. Cunningham himself says that
he went past Chase's desk to get an
eraser to remove blot of ink from
book, and after getting the
eraser made a lunge for some candy
on Chase's desk. Chase seized ruler
to drive him of, and in moving out
from his desk stepped of a raised plat
form and Tell upon Cunningham who
held the eraser in his hand. The eraser
struck Chase on the breast, and, pene-
trating to his heart, killed him almost
instantly. This version Of the affair Is
not corroborated. George McGiunis,
another clerk in HObart's, said that ne
was the only person present in the room
when the stabbing occurred. His back

the blow struck. lie believed that the
young men were scuflling, as he heard
their steps rasping across the floor. but
suspected nothing wrong until Chase
cried out that he was hurt. He declared
positively that there was no ill-feeling
between the young men and that the
stabbing was purely accidental.
Cunningham was arrested by Officer
Arnold and taken to the 0ld-Slip sta
tion-house. While the sergeant was
taking his statement an officer came in
and said that Chase was dead. Cum
ningham's lips twitched painfully and
his eyes filed with tears. Cunningham
is only sixteen years of age. He lives
at No. 245 east Fifty-ffth street, and
is we'll spoken of by his acquaintance.
Chase was seventeen years old, and
lived at l07 east One-Hundred-and-
Twenty-lourth street. He bore an ex-
cellent reputation.
