Literary Notes.

JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS has contributed
to 81. Nicholas a story called Daddy Jake,
the Runaway, which will begin in the March
number and continue through three issues
The last installment is said to contain one of
the best of Mr.. Harris Uncle Remus
stories. There will also he paper by
Mrs. Burton Harrison on Washington as
an Athlete.
WHILE the March Century was being pre-
pared the press was stopped, in order TO in
sert paper by the Hon. Thomas b. Reed
OF Maine, one of the republican leaders in
the lower house, on The Rules of the House
OF Representatives, and it has peculiar I'M
portance from the fact that it not only calls
attention to the present difficulties of the
situation, but suggests changes These
changes it may be in the power of Mr. Reed
and his associates in the next congress to
carry out. James Whtcomb Riley will
have congressional poem entitled Down
to the Capital.
A HITHERTO unpublished chapter in the life
of Edgar Allan Poe will appear in HdTper'S
Mdgdzine for March. The old lady who was
the heroine of this early love episode of the
poets gave Mr.. Augustus VanCleef per-
mission TO write down and publish her
"reminiscences of it, provided her identity
should not be revealed She declared that
the portrait of the poet which is reproduced
in this number of Hdrpers was "the best
one she had ever seen, and had his express
sion" She died in the West in 1887, over
seventy years old, Thomas Bailey Aldrch
will have "a poem in The Shipman's Tale.
THE three methods employed for making
window-glass will be described and pic.
tured in the Populor Science Monthly for
March by Professor C. Hanford Henderson
of Philadelphia, under the title of A Pane of
Glass. Professor Henderson avoids teohni-
calities, and clothes his array Of facts with
a pleasing garment of anecdote and descrip-
ton. Dr. Andrew ID. White will conclude
the subject of Demoniaca Possession and
Insanity, which forms one of his New Chap
tiers in the Warfare of Science, now pub
fishing in that magazine. The forthcoming
article will tell how the Roman Catholic,
Lutheran and Calvinistic clergy We'd with
each other in exercising and prosecuting
the unhappy victims of insanity, and how
medical science slowly introduced more
humane treatment and finally drove back
superstition from this part of the great
battlefield.

BARNARD, SUMNER & co.
/nasa Silks.


New styles for 1880 are here.
You will find a perfect rev.
olution in designs, which are
this year invariably large.
All the fashionable ground
shades are in these new India
Silks.
Black figures on light and
colored grounds are, at first
sight, the most taking.
The floral kingdom is drawn
upon heavily by the designer.
There are irregular forms, in
Undesirable shapes, that have
the merit of striking effects at
least.
Gowns of softest brown, with
oldest figure of white.
White, with barberry stems
in black, shaded to grey.
Nieux Rose grounds, with
the same barberry stems in all
black.
An exquisite pattern in light
and dark Gobelin blue, in al
ternating stripes, punches of
rare ferns, with here and there
leaf pendant in shaded Gobe-
lin, makes a truly exquisite
fabric for a rich dress.
There are pure whites, with
black cross sticks, in rather
delicate array.
These are blue grounds, with
figures that look more like the
bats cricketers use than any
thing else we can think Of
A lovely ground of stone
color, with elegant display from
plant-life in black, lending pc
culiar richness to the pattern.
In brief, ladies', our Mdla
Silks for this season are as
nearly perfect in color and de
sign as any like fabric can
ever be.
There is a new conner for
your silk favor
The .SHad07V Silks
So called because in some
of the patterns there is that
r-away look, or shading away
into almost heecy cloudings,
that suggested the name.
There are patterns that have
for design immense Czover
Tops, with stems twelve inches
or more long, while here and
there are falling leaves that al
most seem as though they acre
falling.
These cost a good deal of
: money, but will make magnif-
cent dinner-dresses, or in COM
bination with plain Faille Fran

suaded to drink to excess. The first time
that her husband came home talking inco-
herently the poor girl was so terrified that
she couldn't stop in the room where he was,
but ran and locked herself in her boudoir.
One morning, after her husband had come
home considerably the worse for his even
ing's amusement, Lady Dashton sat at break
fast alone in her own little room. His Lord
ship was still sleeping of the effects of his
last nights indulgence.
There were several letters for her ladyship,
letters of the ordinary kind. which she
opened and threw aside after g~lancipG at
their contents. But there was one which she
opened unconsclously and began to read
mechanically, but which Us she read on sent
the hot blood to her cheeks with O sudden
rush, only to retreat from them again as
suddenly and leave her face pale with the
ashen hue of death.
She read the letter to an end, and then
to the floor.

confidential maid, came into the room. She
was Just in time to save her mistress, who was

his lordship would lose a hundred or two at

that he was merely obliRing his friends and
that it wouldn't do for them to treat him as
a fiat too often. On his marriage with Louie
Joyce he did what he had agreed TO: he paid
Will Joyce's debts, which, according 10 that
young gentleman's own showing, amounted
to &c, 600, but he gave Will to understand
that he mustn't presume upon the relation
ship to ask any further assistance.
Louie Joyce was perfectly we'll aware Of
the sum which her brother WAS TO receive,
and she guessed that his associates would
share it with him. She had a faint hope that
perhaps the sum would satisfy them, but
knowing something Of their character she
could hardly bring herself to believe it,

do no such thing. but that at all risks, il she
found her husband was being attacked
through her, she would inform him of his
danger. She had persuaded herself when
she married Dashton that she honestly
loved him, and as time went on, and she
found out her husbands good qualities, love
really did come. II Was the one great hope
of her life that her influence would at last

A year had elapsed since the marriage Of
the Earl OF Dashton with the pretty chorus
girl, Louie Joyce. Society had been startled
at first by the news, and the young bride was
the object of considerable attention whenever
she appeared in public with her husband.
The Eari's relatives were furious, and nAtu-
rally put theyounR lady dow as q designing
creature, who had played her cards well.
But Louie Joyce had played her cards
veil as Countess of Dashton she played them
SUI better. She bore her new honors mod
eHly but gracefully. and the severest female
critics were bound at last to admit that the tall,
handsome chorus girl knew how to behave
herself, and that she had Q good deal moro
natural dignity than her husband. A woman
can always more readily adapt herself to i'm
proved circumstance s than a'man.
But though Louie held her W bravely,
and at last stemmed the tide of hostile criti-
cism, she was unable to completely destroy
the evil influences which surrounded her
husband. His constant companions and as
sociates were still the set of adventures and
sharps who toadied to him and preyed upon
him in his bachelor days.
