DIED.-At ILLS Saturday A. NJ, Aug. 81,
Mr.. Chas. Reginald Abbott.
Mr.. Abbott had been in our city only short
time but he had by his courtesy, kindness and
gentlemanly demeanor made host of warm
friends who were struck with sorrow at his
DEATH His sickness was of only a few days
and from the first but little hopes were enter
tanned of his recovery All that kind friends
and willing hands could do to alleviate his suf-
ferings and restore him to health was done,
but to no purpose. The time had come for
him to pass into the beyond, to the presence of
his Maker to give an account of his steward
ship. Before his death he said he was ready
to go and meet his Savior. and he: has left
with us an evidence of his acceptance with
God, and that he was prepared for death.
His sister arrived in the city from Florida
at o'clock on Saturday last, about two hours
after he had died Mr.. Abbott was a MEM

of Pythias. and ON Sunday A. NJ. the Masons

biana. from whence they were sent to Ram
dolph. VT. for interment. E. d. Upham will
accompany the remains TO Jersey City, where
he expects to meet Mr.. Abbott's father.
Thus another young man in the midst of life
has been cut down. which should impress upon
us the uncertainty of life and the certainty of
death and the Importance of making prepare
ton for it. The heartfelt sympathy of our
community goes out to the sorrowing sister
and relatives in their bereavement Shelby

DR.. McCOsh on Matthew Arnold.

In my opinion, Mr.. Matthew Arnold
has been ratheran overestimated man in
England. 1t does not appear to me that
he has written any great work in history
or in criticism (of which he is supposed
to be MASTERY which will live above an
age or two. He has certainly literary
knowledge and ability, but his style is
full of mannerisms, which came out
very oddly when he had to give bust
ness account of the state of education
in France. He has taken up no great
theme, and he will 90 down the stream
to posterity as the author of some fine
poems of the second rank, and of GER
tain phrases, such as the rather unsavory
one, "uncircumcized Philistine," which
he has sought to make classical. He
constantly dabbled in religious subjects
of which he knew very little. He was
bent on interpreting the Apostle Paul,
and has utterly failed to catch his mean
ing, which the humblest Christians in
all ages have had no difficulty in doing.
He has given most ludicrously per-
verted meaning to Paul's profound ex-
position of the righteousness of God,
which is unto all and upon all them that
believe" On leaving America he gave
us some advice. He complains of our
defective civilization, of our want of
" sweetness and light ANOTHER of
his fondled phrases Qaken from Swift.
He has told us some wholesome truths,
but has not shown us way in which
the evil may be removed. Those who
follow him will be sure to become
dudes-not in dress, but in character,
] nd hah
come to time when the character of
our young masters and misses will be
determined more by tales than by
! fathers and mothers, ministers and
teachers. Thoughtful men are inquir-
ing what is to be the effect of all this
on the formation of the character of
the rising generation. Ministers of the
gospel will have to send for the last
new novel to see if they have not to
warn their people against it. Grave
teachers of theology will have to study
" Robert Elsmere and "John Ward,
Preacher" as well as the Confession
of Faith and Thirty-nine Articles. OF
lete years cur best novels have been
| written by ladies. | rather think that
this will continue. Women have in
tuitive perceptions of character keener,
more subtle and tender than men have.
They can set before us men, women
and children with sentiments, manners
and dress more picturesque than we of
the coarser sex can. Our novels are
now being written with purpose-not
merely to give us picture, but to pro
mote a cause. 1t looks as if in the
near future the battle of religion and
irreligion will be fought in fiction. The
war, to a large extent, will be one of
Amazons and with Amazons. The
weapons of warfare will not be repre-
scented by swords and guns, but by bod
kins and darning-needles, scissors and
breast-pins. Novels will have to be met
by novels. Oxford has had its novel,

THE Caledonian appeared last week
in an entirely new and a very attract

publishing the Caledonian and carrying
on the job printing business, Arthur
f. Stone, son of the senior partner,

opposition had on the old concern was to
stimulate an expansion that broke the
incrustatiOn that was combining and
paralyzing the papers normal activity.
1t instantly became an efficient living
agent again, and Mr.. Stone d,the

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has shown
that he is not wholly insensible to the
force of public opinion by recalling
his appointment of Leon O. Bailey as
district attorney of Indiana and sub
shutting the name of Solomon Clay
pool. Mr.. Bailey's nomination Justly
aroused storm of indignation from
the better class of both parties. He
was not only an unfit man for the place,
but his nomination was a direct insult
to the president-elect, as Mr.. Bailey
was the acknowledged leader in the
attempt to inaugurate a campaign OF
mud-slinging in the Hoosier State. The
withdrawal of the name, before action
was taken upon it by the senate, was a
shrewd move, as it saved the president
from the humiliation of having the APP.
pointment rejected by that body, as
would certainly have been the case.
