his "Virginians,' and you will discover
that there is romance in your own country.
If YOU like rollicking book take "Charles
O'Mallev," and you will find in it the best
description of the battle of WATERLOO that
ever has been written. Read all OF Charles
Dickens books you will see in them how
GOOD the poor are to the poor; you will
scorn the veneerings of society. and you
will know what the Fleet prison was when
Charles Dickens, as little boy. went there
to see his father. Linger over the .Iale OF

The kangaroo Acclimatixed in Enslan,

The Kangaroo Acclimatixed in England.
The problem whether kangaroos can be
acclimatized in England appears to have
been solved at Tring Park by a very sim
ple process. Hitherto it seems to have
been assumed that the only chance OF
keeping kangaroos in our climate is to rear
them on the principle which, to use a vul.
Gar colloquialism, is known as 'coddlinR. "
| they have accordingly been kept
and tended in pens or small enclosures, as
we see them in the Regents park. At
Tring Park, however, according to the IN
teresfine account Of Mr.. Walter Roths-
child, they have simply been turned loose
in the park and woods, and the experiment
has proved remarkably successful: Fifteen
years since the late Baron de Rothschild
endeayored to breed kangaroos; but the
male and young one were unfortunately
poisoned by eating laurel, danger which
English kangaroo breeders will do we'll x
note. OF late, however, the experiment
has been renewed with success. Ihey ar
| found. we are told, to- breed freely, an!
? there are now to be seen in Irlng parl
twenty-eight or thirty native kanRarooe
including the red and black species, Ben
nett's wallaby, the black wailaby, and tn
z larger macropins, generally known as IN
giant kangaroo" In the face OF sue
facts there can be little doubt that TIL
curious creature is destined to rank anon
our most familiar domestic anlmals.-Lo1

Quay says he will not resign from the
head Of the republican national organi-
cation, although not long ago he had
announced his intention to do so. He
gives as reason for his change OF pur-
pose that he has been attacked by the
democratic press. His decision will suit
the democrats very we'll, but it viii
greatly embarrass those honestly indig
nant republican journals like the st
Louis Globe Democrat, San Francisco
Call, the Pittsburg Leader, and othe
influential journals that are calling TO
his speedy retirement. The spectacl
of Quay riding the 6. O. p. to death is a
amusing az we'll as sad sight.

IT took the house of representatives
Just two hours and half to pass tho
Morrill, service pension bill appro-
priating s5OOOO,o0O year. Speaker
Reed would not let it be discussed in
committee of the whole, and it was put
through at railroad speed. This is not
the bin asked for by the Grand Army
but a measure lobbied through the
house by the claim agents at Washing
ton who are making fortunes out OF the
old soldiers. The democrats tested the
sincerity of the republicans by propos
ing to substitute the Grand Army bill
for that agreed upon by the republican
caucus, and the 6. o. p. voted unani
mously against it.

Athletics and Health Training.

"Athletics and Manly Sport" by John
Boyle O'Reilly, has reached second large
edition, which shows that this is one of the
books that have come to stay.
This edition is enormously enlarged and
improved, over 100 pages being added, con-
tanning a graphic account OF ORellly and
Moseley's exploration of the wonderful DIS
NAL swamp in canoes. This article, like
the famous article on ''The Ethics of Box
ing,' is copiously illustrated with superb
mates from photographs and sketches taken
in the Dismal swamp.
The article on "How to Grow Strong by
Training, Exercise, Diet and Sleep is pro-
badly the most complete study of this I'M
portant subject ever made i'll this country
The rules and hints here given are invalu
able to all who desire health and strength
J no matter what the age or condition. Thu
information, from the highest scientific
authorities, and tested by Mr.. OReilly'
experience, is as necessary for amateurs a
for professional athletes.
The illustrated article OH "Ancient lrisl
Games and Weapons" will interest AM
surprise all who are interested in rae
DEVELOPMENT and archaeology. This articl
\ alone would make the book singularly valu
able. The astonishing wealth of antiqu
weapons preserved in Ireland (the larges
collection of bronzes in the WORLDLY, and tn

BISMARCK set good example for other
public men the other day by giving a
full and free interview about public
affairs to correspondent OF the New
York Herald. If our public men would
be less reticent and evasive, and would
discuss questions of public concern
through the great popular medium of
the newspaper, they would stand better
in public estimation than many OF them
do now. The instances are rare in which
newspaper men pervert or misrepresen1

to fight for it, but If there is a fight he
will throw for Mantle. Mantle will try
for the nomination, and if he cannot gel

A Great Newspaper.

The HELENA INDEPENDENT was immense.
A twenty-page newspaper filled with inter-
estine matter on variety of subjects shows
an amount of enterprise in Montana pub
fishing house which great eastern papers
might d we'll to pattern after. The article
descriptive of Bozeman and the far-famed
Gallatin valley is well worth the subscrip-
ton price of the great metropolitan daily.
