LITERARY NOTES.
ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD.

The important article on the British
Navy, by Sir Edward, Reed, which
attracted much attention in the Feb
ruary Harper's, and the description
of the Krupp establishment in March
will be followed in the June number
by a timely paper on the U. S. Navy,
by Rear-admiral Edward Simpson Of
the Navy Department at Washing
ton, with large mum Der of excellent
illustrations. The history of our navy
is briefly sketched, and the record is
one that Uncle Sam need not be
ashamed of. But as one reads of its
presen. deplorable condition, every
patriot must regret the indifference
and stagnation which have left us far
behind the age. Pre- vious to last year
our navy, consisted only of thirty-two
wooden vessels, two iron slOops Of
war, and few old primitive monitors.
In 1883 the construction of three
steam>cruisers and dispatch boat,
with steel plates, was authorized.
These vessels are the Chicago, Boston.
and Atlanta, which are now nearly
finished, and the Dolphin, now doing
service. With the construction of
these vessels the manufacture of steel
plates for ships began in this country.
This feeble array constitutes the pres
ent naval force of the United States.
We have not one armOr clad man Of
ware the old single.turreted monitors
not being considered as having any
efficiency and the ordinance and
equipments are ridiculously behind
the age. 1t would be impossible for
US to cope even with some Of the
smallar powers in our own hemis-
phere, and the naval ornaments of
Europe make our deficiency a humil>
iation. Public opinion is stirring
Congress to action, and the article
mentions some important improve
ments which are in operation, 1t is
to be hoped that this able paper will
hasten the adjustment of our navy to
the Age of Steel.

A New Hotel.

The Illinois Central Railroad has
completed fine new hotel and eating
house at Holly Springs, Miss. and is
prepared to furnish the travelling pub
lie with frst-class meals and accom-
modations. The hotel is centrally To-
Gated between the best markets north
and south. Arrangements have been
made for the supply of butter and
meats from Chicago, and fish and
oysters from New Orleans. The very
best cooks have been secured. Trains
Nos. l and 8, south, stop for break
fast and supper, and No.:4, north, for
breakfast. The celebrated Silurian
water, from Waukesha, Wis, will be
used at this hotel, and will be served
to guests free. No other water will
be used for drinking purposes. The
&c. road never fails in anything il
undertakes, and we will guarantee al
who stop at this hotel will be vel
pleased. We are satisfied there is no
a better eating house in the south.

DIED.

April 26th, Miss Lula Jones, aged
10 years, daughter of j. w. and N.
N. Jones. She was a sufferer for two
years, and left many friends to mourn
her loss. Her physician said she en-
dured her illness with more patience
than any one he had ever seen. She
was abundantly prepared for death
and knew she was dying; watched
with interest the settling of The blood
under her finger nails, requested her
mother and aunt to kneel at her bed>
side and pray that she might die easily.
After this she became very happy,
and looking towards the door smiled
as though she saw something very
pleasant. Her mother asked what
she saw. She said her brother. Her
mother. told her he was not there.
She said she knew he was and smiled
again, telling her mother if she would
wait few minutes she would tell her
all about it. She was perfectly con.
scious and began to talk to her father,
begging him not to grieve for her.
She quietly passed away in the
triumph Of the Christians faith.

Strawberry Shipments.

During this season, there have been
shipped fran Milan 1923 cases of
strawberries, 2429 of which were
by freight and 1900 by express. Most
of them went to Chicago, St. Louis,
Milwaukee and Kansas City; but
large shipments were made to other
cities. Scattering shipments are still
being made to Memphis and New Or
leans, ann the seasons shipments will
probably foot up nearly 44O0 cases.
Large quantities have been sold by
peddlers at thetrains and around town.
Prices held up little better than last
year, but no big profits have been
realized. Those who had early varie,
ties got the best prices, and it seem:
to US this should be a lesson to Other
growers about here. The growers,
we suppose, have netted about Sc, OOO
the pickers have made about $4,000
aud we suppose about $1,000 more
was brought hOre by the crop. The
little berry has thus brought abou
SO, to Milan.

cream and cake will be served cheap.
Mr.. G. W. Williamson is our au.
thorlzed agent, and will probably call

ton. Don't get scared and think we
have sent the sheriff after you. He'll
not 60 in an official capacity just now,
and we hope he may never have to
do so.
The primary convention held here
last Saturday instructed for Freeman
for supreme judge and Tyree for at,
torney general. The delegates were
instructed to allow each county can
didate his pro rata of votes in the pri.
mary election at the convention in
Trenton to-day. Judge Caldwe!l's
friends think they were unfairly treat
ed, and a number of Freeman men
think the same way.

Change Of Gns4e.

The tracks Of the L. u N. road will
be changed to standard guage to-mor>
row, when no trains of any kind will
run during the twenty.four hours be-
tween midnight tonight and twelve
p. m. Sunday. No freight trains will
run to-day. Travellers will do well
to remember that the last passenger
trains here will leave to-day at IL. 30
p. m. going west and 2Y1O p. m. going
east. Foreman Nash has been busy
the last two or three days changing
the side tracks in the yard here, and
begins on the main line at 4 o'clock to.
morrow morning with double crew.
He expects to change his section of s
miles to the standard guage by about
ten o'clock to morrow morning, when
he will put in time finishing up the
switches, etc. On account of the diff.
ferent guages of the two roads here,
the yard work at this place is more
complicated and difficult than al al>
most any point on the line.

Correspondence

We very much desire TO make this
department of the HERALD AND
News decidedly practical. Our aim
shall be to avoid everything that the
practical teacher may not take into
the school room with him. We want
practical teachers to send us articles
on the different subjects that belong
to their work. Tell US Of your fail
ures and your successes. If you
have fairly tested certain method of
teaching English grammar and have
found it to be a good one, let others
know oft. 1t will be creditable to you
and profitable to your co-workers.
How have you taught reading and
with what results? Do you teach
your pupils the principles of elocu-
ton, and do you impress upon them
the Importance Of becoming accom-
plished readers?
Again, what series Of text books on
geography do you like best' What
constitutes a desirable text book on
geography? There are many other
questions which deserve the attention
of every teacher who properly values
his tine and the best results of school
work. In this department your ex-
periences will always find place.
Then write for the cause.

1t is proposed to erect monuments
to Grant and Lincoln at Washington
ct cost of one million dollars each,
and to appropriate money from the
United States treasury to pay for the
same. It seems that the subscrip-
tions to the Grant monument fund
did not come in as was expected. 1t
would be an extravagant expenditure
Of money to put so much in a monu-
ment, even if it were raisad by private
subscriptions, and we hope that no
such expenditure will be made by the
government. If the friends and ad.
mirers of these great men desire to
perpetuate their memory by erecting
monument, why not apply the
funds raised for this purpose to the
erection of hospital for the poor or
school for the training and educa-
tion Of the poor. What better monu-
ment than such a one could be de-
sired. It would perpetuate their
memory the same as marble shaft,
and st the same time minister to the
wants Of the poor and needy, and be
blessing to humanity.

Very One-Sided.

The law, as it stands is very one
sided affair, andis, if anything, worse
than it was st first. 1t opens broad
road to rascality, and collusion and
fraud will be frequently practiced.
The landlord in most instances, will
be compelled to waive his first lien
in favor of the merchant in order to
obtain supplies. This will cause
more trouble, and the old law, with
all its evils, will still exist. Little
or nothing has been accomplished, in
our opinion, by this bill. The law
should have been repealed IN toto.
This is what the people want and
they will not be satisfied until it has
been aecomplished,-Che Chester Bulletin.

Problems.

We shall be pleased to devote a
portion of onr space to the statement
and solution of problems. If you
have problem that has been trouble
some send it to us. We shall give
you a published solution whenever
possible. Have you any very elegant
method in any arithmetical operation
which the text books do not contain?
Send it to us, that we may give your
felloH-laborers the benefit of such
method. Bear one thing in mind,
however, we do not want problems
of kind that we often see going the
rounds of the press-such as have
little theoretical interest and no
practical value whatever. Such
questions are uttetly valueless and
will add nothing to this department.
But of such problems as are repre-
sentative, useful in everyday life, or
serve t. Illustrate some important
