LITERARY NOTES.

sTbe Century proposes to illustrate the Late of
lincoln by Colonel Hay and Mr.. Ncolay, portraits,
tscmles and certain ideal pictures being introduced
General T. r. Rodenbcugh has prepared what
promises to be admirable book for young people
IN the shape of O history of Uncle Sans Medal of
Ionor." the only authorized military decoration for
yalor in this country. g. p. Putnams Sons will pub
Lab the book.
The new collection Of stories which Miss Jewett has
fast published through the firm Of Houghton. Mhiin
& Co. under the title OF A White Heron" has a
beautiful cover OF white sage green and aodbeaut
ful but almost too delicate for handling. 1t was
designed by a lady, Mrs. Henry Whitman.
The motto of Miss Clevelands Literary Life is
prove all things hold fast to that which is good,
and this motto she fears Its contributors likely to
forget There will be-" che says in the September
number broad and, l fear, genial smile upon the
universal editorial faco-I the consolidated coun-
of the whole pack and parcel of human editors
conGde to them this fear this suspicion this first
failure Of confidence In the perfect unanimity of aim
between editor and contributor The editor Of expert
ence will laugh Hinc illa lscrimaH For there is
TO smile upon the face Of the editor of nexperience.
There is to her fearful SCATTERING of bel dear ideal,
fearful scattering of her ondest hopes in this inti-
nation Of something short of lack of absolute oneness
between herself and her contributors She weeps, she
wells her face; she hopes. she dreams she gasps at
the thin air into which the ideal referred 10 to
be about 10 locate; she prostrates herself upon the
sands Of that vast deep wherein the aforementioned
hopes seem about TO alight 1t is all in vain. The
contributor declines to accept motto when applied
by us TO bis contribution. The contributor sends all
things We prove them. Our proving prevents in
many from holding fast TO them. The law of
the survival of the ttest takes its cam unde, lat
ing course. But ITS consequences are fatal. At pres
ent can say no more"
"a Century of Electricity" is the title of a book
which Professor T. c. Mendenhall has written and
which Houghton Mlfiiin & Co. will publish The title
Indicates the contents.

81. LOUIS, No., March SO.-The situa-
ton in East St, Louis this afternoon pre-
sents a marked contrast to that Of yester-
day. No serious disturbance has as yet
occurred, although several attempts by
the railway companies to start out freight
trains have been resisted by the strikers.
An Illinois and ST. Louis railway engine,
while engaged In making up q freight
train, was approached by a number OF
strikers who requested the engineer 10 de-
sert his post. This he refused to do, and
the men skilled" the engine and took 1t
back TO the roundhouse, On the Yanda-
lie tracks q similar attempt was made 10
make up freight train, but the engineer
complied with the request OF the strikers
to take his engine back to the roundhouse,
and the attempt was abandoned, No OPP
position, however, was offered TO the efforts
OF the Wabash officers TO resume freight
traffic, and they succeeded in sending out
a freight train,
The presence OF the Deputy United
States Marshals is restraining influence,
and the men seem much lesa aggressive
to-day than formerly, 1t is thought that
the presence OF the militia will not be re.
quired to protect the property Of any Of
the railway companies,

-Four freight trains this morning were
made up In the Iron Mountain yards, and
under the protection Of small guard Of
police, succeeded in passing through the
city without any interlsrsnCs from the
strikers. No crowd had collected at any
