Literary Note.

The modern Review, especially as it
has been developed in America, is an
entirely unique literary product. 1t
combines timeliness with thoroughness
of treatment. 1t has Il quality that the
greater portion of the daily press can
not have-impartiality and absolute
independence. Thus the development
of the Review marks third distinct
phase of our periodical literature The
daily paper, which brings the news, is
the first; the illustrated magazine
which brings entertainment, is the
second; and the Review, which brings
authoritative discussion, is the third.
A well-informed man is obliged to
read at least the daily paper and the
review.
The peculiar and now Indispensable
service rendered by the Review is well
illustrated by The Forum, which has
been pronounced by the most thought
ful readers, and is regarded at home
and abroad as the highest product ol
American periodical enterprise. During
the year 1891 il gave the most mature
thought of more than 100 of the ablest
thinkers and workers in the world on
the most pressing problems. 1t is
found wherever men think, and is in.
dispensable alike to the srrious-mindrd
man of affairs and To the scholar
"rhere is no more gratifying evidence
of the rapid advancement to hlgl
plane of serious thought of the great
mass of the people of the Republic,
an English critic recently wrote, 'tha

Boston, Nov. ga most important his
torical and geological discovery has been
made by Mr. John II. Sears of the Pea
body academy of science of Salem at
North Beverly. The Salem water board
has been cleaning the shores of Wenham
lake, in North Beverly, the past week. Mr..
Sears made careful study of the section,
the water being very low, and near the
southern end he found iron ore and smelt-
ed iron in considerable quantities. On ex.
amining the locality, he found that hog
iron had been mined and used. The evi
dence was conclusive, and the discovery
is a surprise to the local histori
ans and the oldest inhabitants. 1t has
long been well known that iron was minet
in Saugus about 1643 (the first in America)
and in Rowley, and some prospecting wa'
done in the section of Beverly known a.
Montserrat, but no one ever knew befor,
that iron was ever found at North Bever

early, probably not later than 1640. 1t ha
been we'll known that the water along the
shores of the lake was very brackish

NAPOLEON AND WILLIAM.
Two Anecdotes Illustrating the Pecll-
liar Traits of These Rulers.


There is a natural desire on the part
of some great and powerful men TO be
opposed or crossed occasionally. Or
dinarily men of this sort insist upon
having their own way, but instances
are not lacking in which persons who
have opposed them with some violence
have seemed to excite their admiration
and win their gratitude. Two caseG of
this sort one occurring in the career
of the great Napoleon and one an i'll
cident of Il recent voyage of II living
mOnarch-are interesting.
The memoirs of Gen. Marriott upon
the first French empire, recently pub
lished, relate that on the occasion of Il
very formal distribution OF rewards
made by Napoleon before Ratisbon an
old grenader came forward and de-
manded somewhat sharply, to the as
tonishment of all, cross OF the Legion
of Honor.
''But what have you done?'' SAID
Napoleon.
"Why, sire," said the soldier. ssit
was who in the desert of .Iaffa, when
il was terribly hot and you were parchcd
with thirst, brought watermelon.
"Thank you," said Napoleon, s.but
a watermelon for Il general is not
worth Il cross of the Legion of Honor. -
The grenadier flew into Il violent
rage.
"Well, them he shouted. 81 sup
pose that the seven wounds that got
ut Arcola and at Lodi and at Auster-
litz and at Friedand go for nothing
eh? My eleven campaigns i'm Italy, in
Egypt, in Austria, in Prussia and in
Poland you don't count, | suppose?"
"Tut, tut, tut!' exclaimed the en-
perOr. "liow you do get excited when
you come to the essential point of the
whole matter. ] make You now a
chevalier of the legion for your wounds
and your campaigns; but don't tell me
any more about your watermelon.
A similar Outburst from II general
would have won dismissal and dis
grace, but the emporer was pleased
with it when it came from II simple
soldier.
The young emperor of Germany is
the hero of the other incident. The
German papers relate that during his
visit to IIeligoland the emperor, wish,
ing to study the Notifications of tho
island, expressed an intention to make
an ascent in balloon which is kept
for the purpose.
Against this project the emperor:

Loss of voice in cases of catarrh is

their return journey to this city. Crowds
of ragged and starving peasants wait at

Hope for BimetalliSm.

The silver question is growing into
prominence in Europe and there are
some facts which Indicate that the
world is moving in the direction of Il
bi-mctallic standard. The states con-
stituting the Latin union have an cnor-
nous amount of the mdervalucd
silver coins III circulation, which they
are pledged to redeem in gold. But
they will find difficulty in obtaining the
gold necessary for this transaction,
and, as nearly all these nations have
reached the limit of coinage fixed by
the union. IT would appear that the
simplest solution of the question is
through an international agreement re-
establishing silver alongside of gold AS
Il money metal.
In England the question of increasing
the currency is being considered by all
classes. One of the greatest labor as
sociations i'll the kingdom-the textile
workerS-have declared in favor of
remonetizing silver. The chancellor of
The eXchequer is arranging for an issue
of thirty-eight million one pound notes
| by the Bank of England. This is done
w i''tS' illt SlpCh VI SOlt
IN the bank. But its final purpose is to
enlarge the capacity of the bank for
credit-giving and that Will have the
same result as an increase in currency
If the United States government is
persistent and intelligent in its efforts
to bring about an international agree
ment on the silver question, it will sue
ceGd some time, and free coinage of
silver can then be adopted in this
country with perfect safety and with
great benefit to the producing classes.
The perfect ease with which the United
States handles its enormous stock of sill
yer under the present laws will in the end
be an encouragement TO European
nations to adopt free silver coinage
Eastern mOnometalists declare that
Europe is alarmed over the rapid ac-
emulation of silver here. II is doubt
full whether this is so. But if It is, the
financial leaders of Europe can change
their minds on the subject, Just as
Senator Sherman and Secretary Foster
have done. The present silver law is
not an obstruction to international
free coinage. 1t is a helper in th; I
direction.
