The Dime Novel Cure.

A trustee of the Providence public
library has undertaken to cnre the
small boy of his interest in the dime
novel, and can be said to have sue
ceeded. He has met the antecedent
with its consequent. He has gathered
into a scrapbook the adventures of the
boys who read dime novels, and has
made it his business in a quiet way to
ask the boys one by one who are inter
ested in these stories to spend an hour
or two in reading, not the imaginative
story, but the way in which the small
boy has attempted to realize how boys
ought to be allowed to do. 1t is said
that the dime novel boy usually reads
the scrap-book, which is rapidly in
creasingin size as the fresh exploit of
the dime novel adventures are added
to it, about two hours. He then lays
it down in disgust, and nothing can
induce him to return to those stories
again. He asks the person in charge
OF the reading-room for better class
OF books.
This cure OF disease with its own
poison has been so effective in Provi-
dence that the trustee in question is
thinking of taking out a patent for
the process, lest others libraries and the
heads of families and the guardians of
the boys generally may appropriate
his invention without due credit. The
scrap-book alluded to is called "The
Dime Novel Illustrated" and it is sug-
gested to this gentleman before he
goes mach furthur that he should put
his scrp-book to press, secure his copy
right at home and abroad, and stand
up for honors as the only man in the
world who has so far succeeded in
outwitting the average American boy,
by giving him sufficient antidote to
the evil which, in the form of devilish
literature, he 10 anxious to take into
his mind and heart, to make him
ABANDON these stories Ill disgust.
He is the first among modern to
give point to tho old saying, "Look on
this picture and then on that" and it
is the other picture that is powerful
enough to wind up the dime novel
business. These are the days of real
ism in literature, and this man, going
furthur than Mr.. Howells or Mr..
james, or even M. Zola, has substi-
tuted the pastepot and scissors for the
imagination, gathering his horrors
and tragedies from actual life, in the
firm belief that if truth is not stranger
than fiction, it has wonderful power
at the right moment over an awaken
ed mind.

"The fighting was renewed, and was
terrific. Jackson ordered me to 90

the guns we're properly aimed and the
fuses were cut the right length. This
was the work of but few minutes.
On returning to the left of the line of

The fight was just then hot enough to
make him feel well. His eyes fairly
blazed. He had way of throwing
up his left hand with the open palm
toward the person he was addressing.
He threw up his hand as he told me
to go. The air was full of flying mis-
stiles, and as he spoke he jerked down

General Jackson's wound, received

days after the fight, that he was suf-
fering with it, rode to his quarters,
in little farm house near Centreville.
Although 1t was barely sunrise, he was
out under the trees bathing his hand
with spring water. 1t was much
swollen and very painful, but he bore
himself stoically. His wife and baby
had arrived the night before. His lit

shell and bullets as rained about you
when your hand was hit? He in.
stantly became grave and rcverential
in his manner, and answered IN low

Three years after the close of our
civil war, when North and South
stood in still bitter mood one toward
the other; when General Grant had
just received his first nomination as
President amid storm OF "bloody
shirt" eloquence, the real fighters OF
that great fight joined hands in for
getfulness for one day at least.
Seventeen years ago occurred the
first of the impressive anniversaries
which we call Decoration Day. Gen
eral Garfield was the orator at the
ceremonies in Washington, and FORM
ed the first of a sllc, sion of speakers
who have made the record of this
anniversary one of the most striking
monuments to our national eloquence.
The old sectional hate has mellow.
ed into commercial rivalry, and
Northerners now meet Southerners
like old schoolfellews whose fathers
quarrels have kept them estranged
Many causes have operated to bring
about this reconciliation SO welcomed
by all Northerners, but none perhaps
so speedily and so enduringly as the
general observance OF this day.-N. u

called "a flyer" with her on his own

steamed out bravely about half-past

Pulling off from the wreck, she then
was headed up the East River, and
within five minutes struck a reef at
the foot of Tenth street and stuck
fast. Two tugboats, being summoned
to her aid, pulled her off and towed
her to the foot of Twenty-third street
where she was reftted and set of
again at noon in the direction OF the
