Two LitJle Confederates.

Charles ScIibner's Sons Of New York
city, have recently published in book-form
the charming children's story entitled
Two Little Confederates," by Mr.. Thos.
Nelson Page, of Richmoud. 1t was con-
trlbuted originally by its author as serial
to the st. Nicholas magazine, where it in
troduced Mr.. Page to host of juvenile
admirers ard friends. In its later and
more permanent shape it has been received
with a Zest and eagerness on the part Of
the young folks even greater than the de-
light with which it was greeted ia ifs Sc
was exhausted on the day of publication,
a remarkable tribute to the popularity of
any book. and especially of Juvenile"
The story is in new field, and narrates
the experiences Of two boys who were SOL
diers in spirit, though not in fact. during
the late war. It is capltally told; and
with it's spirited character drawing, its
vivid deilneation Of the domestic sltua-
ton in the south in the days of the great
conflict, its flow of varied incident and
adventure, with the touch of a love story
deity interviewer into the narrative, it is
an extremely entertaining volume alike to
young and old.
The success of the book in this country
encourages the publishers to contemplate
an English edition at an early date.
1t may be had at the bookstores in this
city.
Ii. D. Edwards, the author of "Mammy's
LIZ Bo7," which will be found on the
first page, is young Georgian. who has
made reputation for himself by his short
stories Of 1.-TWO Runaways," "De Valley

versilier and his accurate conception of
the negro character are eXemplitiad ia the
highest degree IN this charming song,
which BIDS fair to become better known
and more popular than any Of his produc-
tioEs. Irwin Russell, in his palmest
days, never did any thing better. Mr.. Ed

Prompt Work.

A correspondent from New Hope writes
that this iron work Of toe bridge at Hum
bert's old mill on Middle River, near New
aope, has been completed by the Wrought
Iron Bridge Co., Of Canton, Ohio; the
trestle work, CA. W. CARRIER, contractor)
is nearing completion, and soon the dirt
fill at each end of the bridge will be finish
ed--this last was contracted by MT. Darrell
HUFF. The people OF that section
will then have good crossing
over the river and one of the best grades
to Ft. Defiance depot there is in the
county. Our correspondent adds: ut
is hoped that the oyerseer OF the road
leading from Kew Hope to Fort De- fiance
depot, will see to having the road put in
good repair as there are some very bad
chuck holes in the road that need filling
up before the winter sets in and would
add very much TO travel now"

r. G. Dun & Cos weekly review OF trade
says that the election has SO far interrupted
business during the past week that most COM
parsons with the corresponding week last
gear are misleading. Nevertheless the volume
of legitimate business has been wonderfully
well maintained during the past week as dur
ing the whole political campaign, SO that the
presidential contest of 1888 goes into history
as having disturbed current trade less than
ally previous contest, although it turned
largely upon industrial and commercial ques-
tions, and was generally considered doubtful
to the very end. And this is the more re-
markable because, in the montbs preceding
those of political excitement, speculation had
been unusually active and extravagant. With
the decision of the people there has come a

more confident tone in many branches OF
business The wool market has been declG-
edly more active and stronger, but while
more confident feeling prevails in the goods
trade, improvement in orders or purchases is
not yet observed. In many branches of the
manufacture it is feared that any advance in
prices would result in greatly increased i'm
portations. Cotton goods have been firm.-
The impression that the coming administra-
ton will stop the deposits of money with the
banks and apply the funds to the purchase OF
bonds, though it threatens no reduction, is
used without foundation in speculative cir
cles as a reason for expecting lower prices for
securities. Business failures during the last
seven days number 226, as compared with 275
last week and 245 the corresponding week of
1887.

ant evening. The Fort Wayne (Ind.)

says 1.-The Ministries held high carnival
last night. Fun, music, and the clever
specialt;es as presented by this company,
amused the large audience that greeted
them. There's dash, and go, to the en-
tertainment that keeps the interest of the
spectator aroused from first to last. The
singing, the dancing, the intricate
marches. the music, costumes. ETC., are
superior in every respect. The company
is very strong unsteady. and much of
their success is due to this fact. The fun
is pure and wholesome, and if we were to
prescribe for person with the blues we
should send him to Field & Co.'S Ministries. !"
PECKs BAD BOY.
Charles Atkinson's Comedy Company,
of Boston, will appear here, Thursday,
Nov. 22ad, in the musical comedy, "Peck's
Bad Boy and his Pa" a dramat;zation of
the famous bad boy sketches of George W.
Peck, editor of the Milwaukee "Sun."
The entertainment is in three acts or
scenes-the grocery store, the bad boys
| home and the picnic grounds. The lead
| ing characters are the bad boy, his
chum, his girl, his pa, the policeman
the servant girl, the doctor, the old SOL
! der, and. last but not least. the billy goat.
| AS MIR. Peck says, the counterpart of
| this boy is located IN every city aHd viii
lage throughout the land, He is wide
awake. full Of vinegar, aud is ready to
crawl under the canvass Of a circus or re-
peat hundred verses of the Testament in
| Sunday school. An exchange says that
| although called a bad boy, he proves to be
| only mischievous and has coed heart
and ia really one of the beat boys IN Mil
waukee. If every boy was as good as
Peck s Bad Boy Of the stage. there
would be no bad men IN the world. The
tendency Of the character throughout is
to produce good influence. The press
generally acknowledge that the dramatist
has admirably illustrated Peck 3 stories
sustaining a wonderful fidelity to the
scenes ard language of the original
sketches, and tie company is pronounced
every way competent for the rattling fun,
and the grocery store set q marvel Of rea-
listic effect.

JAPANESE SACRED NUTS.
n. Y. Mail and Express.

A quantity of japanese sacred
nuts, the first ever brought to this
country, has just been received at a
Broadway fruit store. They are
called sacred from the fact that they
are used in certain forms Of Japa-
nese worship. The nuts are placed
on the altar and ignited. They
burn with blush flame and give
off a peculiar odOr They are rich
in oil, and the fumes are supposed
TO rise as incense to the gods.
They grow under water, have leaf
like a pond lily, and are shaped like
a steers head, with two projecting
horns. This resemblance is so great
that it is difficult to believe that
they are not carved. In the
raw state they are hard and taste
less, but when cooked they have
the flavor of boiled chestnuts.
They retain their qualities ten or
fifteen years, and are hit for food
when even twenty years old.

THE NEW CONDITION PROMPT
LY MET.

One day the teacher told her
scholars il was wrong to chew to-
bacco, when a small boy, with quite
an important air, replied that he
had seen fellow chew because his
teeth ached, and stoutly averred
that it was not wrong for any one
to chew tobacco if his teeth ached.
This seemed to please the school
very much, and the teacher was at
first sorely puzzled to know how to
answer such a stunning argument.
At last she said to the boy: ''Hor.
ace, if girl should have the teeth
ache and want to chew tobacco,
what should she do ?" Horace
scratched his head and then said
resolutely, "She ought to have the
tooth pulled"
