THE LATEST LITERARY coNcEIr.

The multiplying of magazines has
been 80 great these last years that
very few people can keep pace with
names or numbers. Among the very
latest we recall christian Literature, !"
"The Beacon" and 1.-Two Tales" the
latter just being launched in Boston.
1t is to have two stories in each number
hence its name.
But the very newest notion is to have
a magazine to be gotten up as an en- ter
tainment for a very select circle of au-
thors and invited guests. 1t is New
York move, assisted by Boston writer's,
and is thus treated of in Boston letter
to the Chicago Sunday Tribune:
This scheme is that of regular
monthly magazine which shall be read
and not printed at all. OF course many
things which appear in it will afterward
find their way into print, but the maya
zine itself will have no existence save
that Of sound. The subscribers will be
gathered together upon certain even
ing in some drawing room or other, and
their magazine will be read to them.
As it is the plan to have the articles read
by their authors whenever it is possible,
the thing will to some extent take on
the form of series of authors read
ings, and those have usually been popu-
lar.
The first one, which is to be given in
New York Sunday evening, is to con-
tain-if contain be the proper word to
use in this connection-articles by Rich
ard Henry Stoddard, E. S. Nadal, Alice
Wellington Rollins, Kate Douglass
Wiggin, and others, the authors mem
toned appearing in person to read their
contributions. We are little more
backward in Boston, and the first read
ing is not fully arranged for. It is said,
however, that Miss Anna Ticknor, who
has been SO prominent in the Study at
Home courses, has taken things in
hand, and if so it is sure to be sue
cess.
Mrs. Margaret Deland, George w.
Cable. E. O. Stedmau, Hamilton Mabie
and Miss Sarah Orne Jewett are among
the authors who are promised for this
singular magazine. and it will at least
be entertaining while the novelty lasts.
People are fond OF getting first taste of
things, and it will please many to have
the privilege OF hearing papers read be-
fore publication. 1t is sort of close
connection with the literary world such
as is so easily obtainable in no other
Way

THE attempt to produce rain near pix

THE attempt to produce rain near Pix
ley at the head of the San Joaquin
valley, will be watched with great in
terest by the grain farmers of that
valley. The parties engaged to assume
Abe prerogatiyes of Jupiter Pluvius rep
resent the Interstate Artificial Rain
company, an organization that is said to
have been operating in Kansas and
Texas but with what success is not
xaade known. E. F. Murphy is the
chief of the operators at Pixley. He has
masie his headquarters In ranch house
fonr miles west of town, and the build
ing is entirely enclosed and secluded
zrom visitors. Their chemical apparatus
arrived packed in three trunks, and
with it was caster OF vitriol. Murphy
says that their method is entirely secret,

THE English coal miners have no use
for royalty. The federation which is
now in session refused to give any ex-
preston whatever of regret for the death
of the heir presumptive, notwithstand-
ing its members were strongly urged to
do so by their representatives in parlia-
ment. They said it was no business of
theirs, and proceeded to vote sympa-
thy for and substantial benefit to the
starving nail-mat ers of the midland dis
tricts, who have long been out on a
strike. These men compressed vol
ume OF significant meaning in the re-
mark that the death of the duke was no
business of theirs. Royalty cared moth
ing for their troubles. They might be
oppressed, trod upon and starved, yet
what was that to the royal family? AS
royalty had no interest in them, they
had no interest in royalty, whose calam-
tiles they viewed with the same indiffer-
ence that characterized the royal family
when it came to the trials and sufferings
of the miners. The acute observer will
not fail to detect in the sullenness of the
despised coal miners of England the
same estrangement that was shown by
the peasantry of France for the noblesse
just prior to the great revolution which
swept away the throne and sent the
privileged classes into exile or to the
puillotina

LINCOLN AS A HUMOROUS SPEAKER.
painfully sensitive as to his personal
deficiencies, ardent in his admiration Of
female loveliness and extravagantly anx-
ious to form matrimonial alliance fav-
orable at once to happiness and worldly
success, and yet 30 wildly erratic in his
pursuit Of these objects that his best
friends then feared for his sanity, and
at this day his course Is beyond ezplaua-
ton. Suffice 1t that ne married, became
n member Of congress, returned to the
nractice of the law and suul, into a con-
dition which, as to political matters,
seems to have been one Of comparative
apathy, till the repeal Of the Missouri
compromise in 1854 reused him like
trumpet call to his last and most glori-
Gus struggle.
In 1854 the fifth and last stage began;
the Abraham Lincoln of history was
born. All his biographers agree that it
was a new man who "took the stump"
that summer. He had long been pop
ular speaker; his speeches were tracy of
the SOIL" But now, say Messrs. Nicolay
and Hay: "Men were surprised to find
him imbued with new and unwonted
seriousness. They heard fewer anecdotes
and more history. Careless listeners
who came to laugh at mis- jokes sat spell
bound by the strong current of his rea-
soning and the flashes of his earnest elo-
quence, and were lifted by the range and
tone Of his argument into fresher and
purer atmosphere. The question touched
the very bedrock of primary human
rights. Such subject furnished ma
terial for the Unborn gifts of the speaker,
his intuitive logic, his impulsive patriot
ism, his pure and poetical conception of
legal and moral Justice"
And here this attempt to forecast the
verdict Of the Twentieth century philos
opher appropriately ends. 1t is the
glory of Abraham Lincoln that he went
on growing to the last. Nothing could
be more idle than to pronounce positive
ly as to what his position would have
been on reconstruction or subsequent
issues from what he had previously said.
His eulogists have often proclaimed that
in the dark winter of 1901 he fore
saw the bloody days at hand and men,
tally prepared for them. AT such a
statement the philosopher of 1901 will
smile. Such foreknowledge would have
been more than human.
There is not particle of evidence that
the Abraham Lincoln of January, 1861,
had formed any conception of the great
struggle at hand, and there is conclusive
evidence that after his inauguration he
still INDUCED the hope Of reconciliation
without war. Abraham Lincoln was
not god, but man. His greatness
consisted in the fact that he made many
mistakes and rose above them. The in
spiration of his example consists in the
proof it furnishes that the true, manly
man rises 10 the occasion, and that, as
he expressed it, the great heart of the
nation is sound. j. III. BEADLE.

% suddenly as his woeful c9ildhood had
done, and in Illinois in 1872 Abraham
Lincoln became an ambitious young man.
A trip to New Orleans and few trials
as hired laborer while still in Indiana
appear to have excited in him fierce
ambition to ''get ahead In the world"
And in this stage Of his career the future
philosopher will find the first unquestion-
able evidences that he looked forward to
u time when he should be an honored
citizen. Unquestionably the Abraham
Lincoln Of 1872 did, In some mysterious
way, arrive ut the conclusion that this
world had Tor him something tar higher
than the position of neighborhood joker,
champion wrestler or prize woodchopper.
His conception of his future was, how
ever, such as now excites smile. He
seems to have felt certain that he could
acquire competency, that he could go
to the legislature, that he could be a
leading man and successful lawyer, and
political oracle in his district, and be-
You'd that--well, that was the extent Of
his dream. And in this mind he re-
manned, as far as all the evidence shows,
for twenty years. In all that time there
is ON record but one utterance which
can even be tortured into a personal
forecast of his great mission. That was
the oft quoted remark to his cousin in
regard to slavery as he had seen it on
his last southern trip, viz: "My God,
John, if / ever get a chance to hit that
institution I'll hit it hard"
Nevertheless, he was growing Indeed,
this is the one prominent fact in Abra-
ham Lincoln's life he never ceased
growing. AS captain in the Black Hawk
war, as candidate for the legislature
(defeated), as storekeeper, postmaster,
surveyor and law student, he was al
ways growing. The future philosopher
will find rich materials for mental sci
ence in contrasting his utterances year
by year after 1889. His experience in
the reckless legislation of the "wild cat"
era of 1S34-7 may be proftably con-
trasted with his conservatism in later
life, but his votes ON the Mexican war
and his casual utterances on slavery
show that the germ of the future Liber-
ator was there.
His intimate associates have by COM
mon consent set the year 1910 as the date
when he entered his fourth stage, as a
party leader, yet that year was the first
of an era in which Lincoln appears at
his very worst He was ambitious, yet
