feast of the Imagination: reading
cookery book.
A Great American Magazine.

THE SUCCESS OF t'THE CENTURY AND IT'S
PLANS FOR 1891.
THE CENTURY MAGAZINE is now so
cess seems almost old story. The N.
Y. Tribune has said that it and its com
panion, st. Nicholas for Young Folks, is
sued by the same house, 'sare read by ev-
cry one person in thirty of the country's
population, and large editions both
are sent beyond the seas. 1t is ansinter-
estne fact that few years ago it was
found that seven thousand copies of the
Century went to Scotland quite re-
spectacle edition in itself. The question
in England is no longer 'Who reads an
American book?" but ''Who does not see
the American magazines"
A few years ago the Century about
doubled its circulation with its 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 Sytem. One
great feature of 1891 is to be
ssTHE GOLD HUNTERS OF CALIFORNIA"
describing that remarkable movement to
the gold fields in 40, in series of richly
illustrated articles, written by survivors,
including the narratives of men who went
to California by the different routes, ac-
counts of the gold discoveries, life in the
mines, the work of the vigilance commit
tees (by the chairman of the committees)
etc, etc. General Fremont's last writing
was done for this series. In November
appears the opening article, 'The First
Emigrant Train to California, "-crossing
the Rockies in lS4I,-by General Bidwell,
a pioneer of pioneers. Thousands OF
American families who had some relative
or friend among ''the Argonauts of 40"
will be interested in these papers.
! 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 es-
Gaping War-Prsoners American News
papers described by well-known journal
| lists; accounts of the great Indian Fight
ers, Custer and others; personal anec-
dotes OF Lincoln, by his private secreta-
ries; 1.-The Faith Doctor" a novel by Ed
ward Egeleston, with wonderfully 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 American maya
zine All Europe is eagerly awaiting
the publication of this personal history
of Talleyrand-greatest of intriguers and
diplomats.
The November Century begins the vol
ume, and new subscribers should COM
mence with that issue. The subscription
price ($4 00) may be RENTED directly to
the publishers. the Century Co., 33 East
18th Street, New York. or single copies
may be purchased of any newsdealer. The
publishers offer to send a free sample
copy-a recent back number-to any one
desiring it.

capes are this season. You know
that as well as we do, and that
why they are so many here 10 pick
from. Don't get the idea THAT a
cape is a cape, and that you can
buy at one place as well as another.
You know a dress is dress, but it
depends on the material and the
making as to what kind of dress
it is. It's so with capes. Most ev-
cry sort here.

The Swing.

Out in the yard bneath the trees,
Where blithely blows the autumn breeze,
And where betwixt the leaves on high
There glimmer little strips of sky,
My sturdy swing is hung, and there
make swift voyages far in air.
Now up and down gayly go
Upon my journeys to and fro
Whenever rise, upon my sight
Dawn meadows bathed in golden light;
Whenever dip, my eye perceives
A rustling bower of following leaves
The birds around me chirp and sing
As merrily 1 swing and swing;
But soon the birds will all be gone,
And snow will lie along the lawn,
So, if tread, my steps will show
Like Crusoe's Fridays, long ago.
When winter winds in chorus call,
1 do not use my swing at all,
But patiently try to wait
Until returning robins mate;
And when they cry to greet the spring,
o, how L join them from my swing!

A VERY WmoLEsoME CoMPLAINT.-Green-
ville, February 16.-The gaand jury in the
District Court made their final presentme ent
and were discharged. In their presentment
the jury called attention 10 the very large
number of trivial cases before them, cases
which were described as "without merit, and
which should have never reached this Court"
They recommend that .'some action be taken
which would in the future prevedt similar
cases from coming before them"
In bis address to the grand jury Judge
Simonton endorsed their Recommendation to
the trivial cases sent up 10 the Court by
commissioners, and suggested that, in the
next presentment, the grand jury should
designate by name the officials whom they
shall Hnd responsible for such practice.
We have also heard IL suggested that 1t il
very common practice 10 the District
Court to introduce witneNes to swear that
they would not believe witnesses for the
prosecution under oath. In cases Of Negro
testimony, and, as is often the case, where
only one or two Witnesses appear for the
prosecution this Is easily done and in thi.
way large number Of prisoners get clear
and, IL may be that some cases 90 to court
with certain witnesses that such would b,
the result. Uncle Sam pays the bill.
