A GREAT AMERICAN MAGAZINE.
The Success of "The Century" and Its
Plans for 1891.

Ihns iOr 1921.
THE CENTURY MAGAZINE is now SC
well-known that to tell Of its past sue.
cess seems almost an old story. The
New York Tribune has said that it and
it's companion. ST. Nicholas fer Yourg
Folks, issued by the same house, "are
read by every one person in thirty OF
the country's population" and large
editions Of both are sent be yond the
seas. 1t is an interesting fact that
few years ago it was found that seven
thousand copies of Tie Century went to
Scotland-quite respectable edition in
itself. The question in England is nc
longer ''Who reads an American book?'
but 'NNho does not see the American
magazines?"
A few years ago The Century about
doubled its circulation with the famous
War Papers, by General Grant and
others, adding many more readers later
with the Lincoln History and Kennan's
thrilling articles on the Siberian Exile
System. One great feature of 1891 is te
be ''The Gold Hunters of California;
describing that remarkable movement
to the gold fields in 40 in series OF
richly illustrated articles soritten By sur
gtU0rs, including the narratives of mer
who went to California by the different
routes, accounts Of the gold discoveries,
life in the mines, the work of the vigi-
lance committees (by the chairman of
the committees), ETC., etc. General
Fremont's last writing was done for this
series. In November appears the open
ing article, ''The First Emigrant Train
to California" crossing the Rockies in
1S41, by General Bidwell, pioneer of
pioneers. Thousands of American fam
lilies who had some relative or friend
among "the Argonauts of 40" will be
interested in these papers. M
Many other good things are coming
the narrative of an Americans travels
through that unknown land Tibet (for
700 miles over ground never before trod
by white mani; the experiences of
escaping War Prisoners; American
Newspapers described by weil-known
journalists; accounts of the great Indian
Fighters, Custer and others; personal
anecdotes of Lincoln, by his private sec
retaries; ''The Faith Doctor" novel
by Edward Eggleston, with wonder.
fully rich programme Of novelties and
stories by most of the leading writer's
etc., etc.
1t is also announced that The Century
has purchased the right to print, before
its appearance in France or any other
country, extracts from advance sheets
of the famous Talleyrand Memoirs,
which have been secretly preserved for
half century-to be first given to the
world through the pages of an Americ; n
magazine. All Europe is eagerly await
ing the publication Of this personal his
tory of Talleyrand-greatest Of in
trigues and diplomats.
The November Century begins the
volume, and new subscribers should
commence with that issue. The sub
scription price (s4O0) may be remitted
directly to the publishers, The Century
Co., 80 East Seventeenth street, New
York, o. single copies may be purchased
of any newsdealer. The publishers
offer to send a free sample copy-a re-
cent back number-to any one desir
ing it.

WITHIN the past two years the Pana

Young McGee was alive at latest re-

the horrible occurrence young Wansley
struck the colored boy with stick, and
that the negro set fire to the cotton in
revenge. The colored youth left the
neighborhood, and there was no Gle W

feeling, and if the negro is caught it is
doubtful whether-any jury will be need
