 Many American publications censure Mark Twain, not for writing "The Ad- ventures of Huckleberry Finn," but for allowing the work to be published. In England, though, the book has been warmly received. The critics may say that this is on account of it's lack of humor, but such a statement would hardly do, for in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," there are many amusing incidents. Probably the British have failed to find the amusing incidents and probably their appreciation Of the book can be traced to that oversight. <
 Eli Perkins recently delivered lecture in Little Rock. Including Mir. Perkins, several persons were present. The aud fence would have been larger but the man who was picking banjo in neigh boring saloon refused to stop. This was treating a stranger with marked dis courtesy. Eli is man of the world. He knows how to make money and he knows how to take care of it. He is an enter taining lecturer, but it is in unrestrained conversation that he scatters his little gems of truth. He has been everywhere, or jus. as well have been. He has writ ten many entertaining sketches and is capable of doing excellent literary work. He once wrote novel. Some one asked :: Eli, what is the plot of your book ?" q don't know," he replied, "I have never read it." Ellis truth is much stranger than fiction. He started out short dis tance behind truth and has never over- taken it.

well, you sec Mr.. Lincoln had taken

Ellsworth with him, and then gave him a
commission to raise a regiment, which he
did, among the fighting fremen and Bow

was having some Of the irregularities in his

Your friends, General, take great comfort in

reports were very discouraging, it was deemed
useless to longer continue the struggle. About

employment can DO furnished them. This is
considered doubtful however, as many largo

GEN. GRANT FEELS BETTER.

Patient Furnishes Information.
Contradiction Of Certain Alarming State

Have Inspected the Generals Throat.

New York, April 26--Shortly after IL o'clock
last night General Grant fell asleep, five minims
of morphine having been administrations
minim less than usual. Though he did not
sleep continuously through the night, the pa
tent slept, in all, as much usual, and aroused
for the day at o'clock this morning. He was
said by Dr. Douglas to have been better to-day
than on any day since the improvement began.
just two weeks ago.
During the night the General coughed much
less than usual, and expectorated scarcely any.
Dr. Douglas arose late this morning, and left the
Grant residence at o'clock.
The day broke cloudy, and at o'clock rain
began falling. The air was chill and raw. pre-
Guiding tie possibility of the General going out
during the day. 'Drs. Barker, Douglas, Shrady
and Sands met at the Generals house for the
regular weekly consultation at 2 P. NJ This dia-
logue took place between DR.. Barker and a re-
porter, when the former left the house after
the consultation:
'How is your patient today9" was asked.
"He says he feels better than he has felt in
long time" was the doctors answer.
'As compared with his condition when you
last saw the General, what is his condition to-
day2'
1.-THE General says he feels better than he has
in weeks" said Dr. Barker.
"But your own opinion is worth more as to
the Generals actual condition-is his throat i'm
proved, or worse than on Wednesday lastl' urged
the inquirer
''The throat has cleared up some since
Wednesday, but there has been no radical
change in the throat; we did not expect that, ;"
replied DR.. Barker.
When DR.. Douglas left the house he said:
General Grant was found to have improved
since the last consultation the observation of all
the doctors resulting in that opinion. The
General was feeling better and was better than
since his improvement began"
DR.. Shrady would join DR.. Douglas on
Wednesday afternoon next, and the next
full consultation would take place on
next Sunday. In relation to certain
alarming statements by an electriclght
agent who carried his machine to General
Grants house, Saturday night and assumed to
describe the appearance of the Generals throat
when he left the house, it may be stated, on
authority of DR.. Douglas, that he did not see
General Grant, nor did he approach HIM any
nearer than the reception-room down stairs; that
his machine for examining the throat with
electric light was not used. Col Fred D. Grant
corroborated Dr. Douglas in this. He said the
electric light agent did not see General Grant
much less examine his throat.
Dr. Newman called at p NJ, and remained
an hour and half. He says the General is
lively and cheerful, and has not felt better in
week The family will celebrate the Generals
birthday quietly.
