From Edmund {. Stedman's literary
critique, entitled "Tlie Twilight OF The
Poets, in the September Century. we
quote the following:
''It must be borne in mind that n0ta
few of our idealists are directing their
main efforts to prose composition.
!. Among our novelsts, however,
Aldrich always seems the poet, Ian
author with whom song has the prece-
dence. His tales are the prose OF o
poetic artist, and owe 10 this fact their
airy charm. Howells furnishes an in
stance of the apt recognition of exist
ing tendencies. The wisdom he has
displayed in his generation goes far
to justify the diversion we are observ-
ing. His early verse. issued conformity
with that of his friend Piatt, bore un-
usual marks of promise nor has he,
quite broken with the muse or ceased
to hold herimage in his heart. Other

jpec1al TO the GIODo.
Dies MONIES, a., June 23.-Gov. Sher-
han has fired bomb-shell into the came of
Eie late State Auditor Brown by letter
which was given for publication yesterday
There has been much criticism of the
governor because Brown was not reinstated
or reasons given for keeping him out
Some weeks ago Brown prepared a general
affidavit, which he claimed was a compli-
anct with the requirements of the law and
sufficient accounting for the funds that
had come into his possession. Gov. Sher-
man did not regard it as such, and he has
to-day written lengthy review of Browns
Shortcomings, which makes very bad
showing for the late auditor. He calls atten-
ton to he fact that of fund of $1,000 at
the disposal Of Mr.. Brown for clerk hire,
which the law says shall be audited
only after itemized statements of its ex-
penditures have been filed as vouchers,
there are but two vouchers in the auditors
office, and they cover but small part of
the whole amount. The governor also re-
fers to instances in which Mr.. Brown has
taken money as fees from officers
of the state who had asked of him
a simple statement of their salary
account with the state, and had kept said
fees himself and rendered no account of
them to the treasurer. The governor not
only charges Mr.. Brown with extortion, but
wrongful use of the funds of the state that
have come into his possession under color of
his Office. He shows wherein Mr.. Brown
has not yet, according to his judgment,
complied with the requirements of the law.
and he states clearly the only conditions on
which he can be reinStated.

little over half of the rafting work done last
season. Low water is interfering with the
work somewhat, but the men manage to
keep the raft works busy. With fair
stage of water there will probably be about
500, OO0 600 feet RATED during the season,
but about the close of July the force will
be considerably reduced by many of the
men going into the harvest fields as usual
The company proposes to make clean
sweep of the logs this year, only leaving a
sufficient surplus to make commencement
of work next season. About 500 men are
now employed. . J.. james Scott, Familiarity
