A GOOD NOVEL.
THE VIGOROUS WORK OF A SOLDIER.

MARIONs FAITH. A Sequel to The Coloners Daughter
BY Captain CHARLES KING, L.. $ A. I2mo. ID il6
Philadelphia J. b. Lippincott COMPANY.
Captain King in his preface to " Marions Faith :"
intimates that he was reluctant to venture upon q
sequel to " The Colonel's Daughter inasmuch as
the success of the latter made him almost hopeless
of a second stroke of equally good fortune. He
need not have felt any apprehension, for Marion's
Faith is decidedly one of the best novels of the
year. Like its predecessor it is a genuine nara
tive of army life the frontier. II or nearly all
its characters are soldiers and soldiers wives and
daughters There is plenty of stirring description
of Indian fighting; not sensational dine novel
stuff but lively and soldiery pictures OF the actual
work done by our troops Oh the border The Gus
ter massacre is incidentally sketched and with
remarkable tact and judg dgment. There is no at
tempt to describe the last fight of the gal liant gen
era and his Inflated command. but he is shown as
he was seen riding into the trap, and the pro-
longed roar of battle that follows tells the rest
The author eAhbts restrained but perfectly natural
and righteous Indignation at the appalling lmbe-
clity OF the system by VIII ch the Department of
the Interior at that time supplied arms and ammu-
milton to the Indians whom the War Department
engaged in fighting. No doubt the incident of
the wagon train of ammunition Intercepted by q
body OF United States Cavalry while en- route to
the revolted Cheyennes matter OF fact Ii is Ger
tainly putting an unwaTrantable strain upop the
zeal and loyalty of the American army to subject if
to such nonstrous handicap as this vet the gal
lant fellows have never wavercd nor hesitated
though they knew to man that the enemy against
whom they detailed was armed by the Govern
ment to which they themselves owed and paid
allegiance.
Captain King writes with a soldiers conciseness
and vigor but to his military characteristics he adds
strong literary qualifications. His women are par
ticularly charming and ovable. and his love scenes
are beautifully delicate, tender and gracious. 4
more thoroughly delightful lvve-making than that
between Ray and Marion, from beginnng to end,
can be found in few novels old or new. The
sketches OF the life of the officers wives in garrison
also clever. and the indications Of character are
at once snbtle and suggestive One of the young

Walking ON Water.

A NAN TAKES SHORT STROLL ON THE NIAGARA RIVER.
An attempt was made on Saturday to outrival
the feats OF Donovan, Graham, Haslitt, Potts and
Allen in Drawing the terrors OF Niagara, which,
though failure in one way, was a success In
another. Mr.. Alphonse King who is the inventor
Of water shoe, gave exhibitions some Years ago
In this country and Mexico and not long ago in
europe. He gave one in the crystal Palace in
London and while there attracted the attention OF
Harry WeDD, an old-time manager, who made him
an oner OF years engagement to come to this
country. While here some time ago Mr.. King had
looked over Niagara river below the falls and be-
neved that he could walk across the chan
mel on his patent shoes. He came to this coun-
try four weeks ago. and has since that time been
IN New York city practicing for the trip. While
there, Thomas Bowe,. hearing of Kings determi-
na ;t 10 attempt the trip made wager OF 500
with webb that King could not walk 100 feet In
Inc current. The money was deposited with a
New YORK newspaper, and on Friday afternoon
Messrs King and Webb, accompanied BY A. C.
fooie OF POole's Eighth Street theater, reached
the IailS The trip Saturday gave King two cold
water baths. and demonstrated that while he could
walk WITH or against the current all right it was
Impossible 10 walk across the river because OF the
edd1es, which twice upset him. He retired conf
cent tnat what he set out to do could be done.
Kings 'shOes" are Of tin, 80 inches long, inches
vice, slop1ng at the top, and inches deep. Each
weighs 80 pounds. They are air-tight and have
IN the middle an opening large enough to admit
the rect OF the Wearer. At the bottom are series
OF paddles, which operate automatically as fms.

FORTY MEN TAMELY SUBMIT TO THREE DARING
HIGHwAYMEN.
On Saturday the mail and express train on the
Fort Worth and Denver railroad stopped at
water tank just north OF Bellevue station seventy
five miles north OF Fort Worth. A few minutes
before three men had ridden up to house 200
yards from the tank. When the train arrived one
of the robbers, with drawn pistol, ordered Engf-
neer Ayres and his fireman d and O. G. NH Miler
alight, which they did. He then marched them
some thirty feet from the train and took all the
yaua6es they had me other Two men 4, w EN-
passengers in the rear Car, who was looking out
OF the window, went into the forward cars and
secrete their money. This they did in various
ways, giving most OF it and their diamonds to
several ladies aboard. Mrs. Wittick, OF Carthage,

the car and asked If forty men were going to

ladies' They were evidently n0yices IN the Dusl,

The Cardinal ON Temperance.

-
LITTLE VALUE PLACED ON PR0HIBIToRY LEGIsLA-
TON OR EMOTIONAL RELIGION.
Cardinal Gibbons, in writing the preface OF a
little book for the guidance Of a temperance con-
fraternity just organized, expresses his views on
prohibition legislation as a remedy for intemper-
ance. The cardinal says:
ave approve Of the cOnfraternity, as 1t carries
out the recommendations OF the prelates OF the last
plenary council OF Baltimore, entreating pastors
In charge OF parishes to establish temperance SOc
cites based on religion. There are three modes
ordinarily proposed by advocates for the repres-
sion OF intemperance. The first mode is by civil
legislation, but this plan does not afford an ade-
quate remedy, as experience abundantly demon
strates. Men can never be cOerced or legislated
into morality. The second is by appeal to popular
enthusiasm and emotional religion. But this sys-
TEN is equally inefficient whatever may be the
good intentions and zeal Of its advocates, for as
soon as the excitement subsidies the disease re-
SumeS its sway, and moral distempers are too
deep-rooted to be eradicated by an enthusiastic
harangue or by any appeal to the feelings. The
third and only enectual method in our Judgment,
by which intemperance can be depressed is by re-
igious and moral Influences, which not only appeal
to the intellect and the heart but which impart
grace to effect what una1ded nature is unable OF
itself to accomplish"
