Wisconsin and intimateS the possibil.

built from Prescott by way of River

expects to visit this city before long
for the purpose of sounding our citi

that the people here will give it all
the encouragement in their power.
An eastern outlet in competition with
the Omaha line could not fail 10 prove
of great benefit and is something
which we should have. The C. B. &

United states. which is abundantly

Conspicuous among the varied feat
ures of the January Century are the
short stories. "Trouble on Lost
Mountain" by Joel Chandler Harris
Uncle Remus), is even more power
full than his longer character novelette,,
AT league Poteet's the scene OF
both being laid among the moon-shin-
ers of northern Georgia. Lost
Mountain is neighbOr Of the
Kenesaw mountain of Sherman S
Atlanta campaign; and that its people
are curiously individual, with "a bent
for humOr and dramatic action, is
most artistically revealed by Mr..
Harris, and also by Mr.. Kemble, who
supplies the character sketches
"A Broad View of Art" is the subject
of the leading editorial in Topics of
the Time"
In the War Series we have General
John POpe's pungent and personal
description of the "Second Battle OF
Bull Run" which. in its fighting. its
depressing results, and its cOntrover-
sizes. WAS one of the most remarkable
events of the war. Few of the wal
a. ticles have been SO fully illustrated
with map and pictures; and the
"RrcolectiOns of a Private describ-
ing Two uays of the Second Battle of
Bull Run" IS replete with incident
and attractivrly illustrated.

How Grant Marched Against Mark
Twain.

The New York Sun calls attention
to the curious fact that Mark rwain's
Article in the December Century
entitled The Private History of a
Campaign that Failed, is, by an odd
coincidence, "A contempolaneous sup
pl-ment 10 chapter Is IN the i 81
volume, just printed, of General
Grants memoirs. 1t appears that
the only time that General Grant was
really scared was when he had to
mret the little army III which his
future publisher was "A private. AT
Palmyra, Grant, then "a colonel, was
ordered To move against Col. Thomas
Harris, who was SAID To be rncamped
At the little town of Florida, some
twenty-five miles away. In his mem
oirs Grant tells how his hea t kept
getting higher and higher as he APP
preached the enemy. until he felt 1t
in his throat, but when lie had
reached "A point where he had expect
ed to see them and found they had
fled his heart resumed its place.
Mark Twain was one of the "enemy, =
and that he and his fellow-sOldiers
were equally frightened appears IN
his frank confession in the December
Century The difference between the
two soldiers was that Mark Twain
was thrown into such trepidatiOn that
he then and there abandoned forever
the profession of arms, whereas
General Grant made on that occasion
the discovery that the enemy were as
much afraid of him as he had been of
them. This" says General Grant,
twas view of the question | had
never before taken, but it was one
never forgot afterward. From that
event to the close of the war never
experienced repidation upon confront
ing an enemy, though / always felt
more or less anxiety.

THE Journal is pre-eminently a LOCAL
PAPER and as such has gained a wide and
enviable reputation. 1t enjoys the proud
distinction of being in the lead in the
matter of Local Correspondence" and is
the wonder of its cotemporaries as the
only paper which has successfully main
tanned, undiminished, the interest of its
large number of local contributors in its
welfare. Because of its superiority as a
disseminatOr of local news IL Is widely
read without regard to the political, reli-
gious or other affiliations of those who
wish TO obtain information of a local ma
ture, and this is fact worthy the careful
consideration Of advertisers.
The "pay in advance" system upon
which The JOURNAL is published long
since ceased 10 be an experiment, and We
find it much more satisfactory TO our sub
scribers, as well as Ourseif, than the old
method. The especial attention of our

OBSERVATIONS:

able in advance.

ter, that any possible mistakes made may
be corrected.
A. The paper is discontinued at the
expiration Of the time for which subscrip-
ton is paid, and failure to renew before
or promptly at such time is regarded by
us as notice that the paper Is no longer
