MAGAZINE NOTICES.

The complete novel in Lippincott's
Magazine for June, John Gray; Ken
ucky Tale of the Olden Time, is by
James Lane Allen, who gives his reader
tender historical picture of the region
named, singularly apart from anything
written against Kentucky background
heretofore, yet trimming with locas
knowledge, and rivalling in it's sympathy
and touch all that the author has before
produced. Murat Halstead furnishes the
Journalistic Series with paper on his
EARLY Editorial Experiences that cannot
fail to attract re-awakening interest in
the series. Hon. John James Ingalls,
contributes an article on the West, en-
titled Westward the Course of Empire
Takes its Way, bearing the impress of
the ex-Senator's powerful style. In the
Athletic Series Frederick Weir gives a
careful paper on the game of la crosse.
One of the most interesting articles in the
number is Prof. John Bach McMaster's
historical struggle for the West The
Great American Desert, by William f.
@. Shanks, gives information about the
growth of the principal cities in that re-
gion which will be new and of interest to
most readers.
The June number of the Cosmopolitan
Magazine opens with very bright story
by Thomas A. Janvier, illustrated by
Wilson de Meza, entitled In the st. Peter
Set, and a capital satire it is on the claims
of blue blooded Philadelphians. Even
Boston can draw lessons from it. There
is very interesting paper on New Yea
land, illustrated by Edward Wakefield
that gives fund of information about
generally little known country. Eleanor
Lewis illustrated article on a Grand
Ducal Family shows great deal of valua-
BILE knowledge of the celebrated De.
Medici family of Florence. Admirers of
Phil Sheridan will much enjoy the illus
trated article on General Sheridan's Per-
sonality by Theodore r. Davis. Murat
Halstead's illustrated paper on Our
National Political Conventions is very
apropos at this time. Carroll D. Wright
has an instructive essay on The Workings
of the Department of Labor. Among
other contents of interest are Evolution
and Christianity by ST George Mivart;
Modern Life and the Artistic Sense by
Walter Crane; Recent British Fiction by
Brander Matthews; Fashions and Coun4
terfeits of Bric-a-Brac, illustrated. by
Sarah Cooper Hewitt; The Aeroplane by

the Hon. William II. Clifford, who arraign-
ed the Republican party in the regulation
style, adopted a resubmission amend
ment, declared that special constables
were not necessary to enforce the liquor
law and recommended the repeal of
SO much of the law as authorizes their
appointment, threw out bait to catch the
hotel mems votes and the druggists

repeal of so much of the prohibitory
law as declares hotels and apothe-
cary shops that dispense liquor

posed constitutional amendment making

for electors, refused to instruct the dele
gates to the national convention to vote
for Cleveland, though recommending his
nomination, and nominated Mr. Charles
F. Johnson, a respectable though little
known young lawyer of Waterville,
for Governor over Galen C. Moses BY a
large majority. as
The free rum men appear.to have had
complete control of the convention and
got whatever they wanted. Of course
the advocates of re-submission profess
that they are working in the interest of
temperance, and are trying to
substitute for the prohibitory law
more effective measure but the
people of Maine are not likely to look
with favor on temperance programme
which commands the solid support of
the rumsellers. The convention has
forced upon the people of the state an
issue between the present prohibitory
policy of the state and license law. 1t
is to be hoped that the Democrats will
stand up to their programme and not run
away from it as they did two years ago.

There lisa big row now brewing among
the. Democratic brethren in the Fourth
district. 1t seems that when the ballots
were counted at the convention to nomi-
nate a candidate for Congress there were
found to besffty more votes than dele
gates. Instead of reporting the facts to
the convention and having new ballot,
the committee to count the votes on adj
vice Of an outsider, concluded to scale
down the ballots so as to make them CON
form to the number of delegates. This
was done and the committee reported
that 355 votes had been cast whereas
there were 405 in the box. The Leavitt
men claim that in the scaling down pro-
cess by some hocus poeus more were taken
from Leavitt's vote than his proportion,
and that he was thereby cheated out of the
nomination by fraud. One of the COM
mittee to receive, sort and count the
votes has made affidavit to the above
facts, and on the strength of it Gen.
Leavitt has fled a protest against the
giving of certificate of nomination to
Mr.. Powers. On the strength of the
same facts Mr. Henry Hudson and Mr..
ii. j. Hathaway protest against Mr.. j.
P. Bass and D. G. Parker being recog-
nized as delegates to the National con-
vention.

The session of'the Republican national
convention yesterday was brief and I'M
eventful. Gov. Mckinley was made per-
manent chairman. The supporters of
the leading candidates still remain stead
fast and professsthe greatest confidence
Both sides claim gains, but there have
evidentlysbeen novery significant changes
in either direction. The feeling seems
tosbe growing that there is not likely to
be any nomination on the first ballot, and
Shereis more talk about clark horses
with Mr.. Reed and Gov. Mckinley as the
favorites. The situation is liable to
change, however, at any moment, and
predictions are worth very little. 1t can
be safely said, however, that there is a
growing feeling that Mr.. Harrison cannot
be nominated, and that the longer the
delay before the ballot the smaller his
cote is'likely to be. And apparently the
anti-Harrison men have the ability to
postpone a ballot for several days at
least,

A dispatch from Monroe 10 the New Or
leans Times Democrat. dated November
ootb saws: A marriage was celebrated near
Jeffei son. in Jackson county, to-day, IN
which hope deferred made an cid heart
glad.
Yesterday an old man registered AT the
Howard House. in Jefferson. He wrote bis
NAM. "John McCabe. Ohio" in trembling
hand and began inquiring about some ~
the older families OF that section. The
answers given him were much Ike those
which enlightened Rip Van Wrinkle on his
return from Sleepy Hollow.
Among the persons for whom he asked
,rere the Niblocks and Daniels. Some Ct
tho Younger members happened 10 be In
town. and the old mans desire for news
was speedily gratifcd. He had left Jack
son county I'm 1885. being then eighteen
xeors Of age and was never heard OF after.
Trbe cause OF his departure was the pref
crence shown By his fiancee, Miss Jessie
carmichael. for n young neighbor, Edward
'roomer. He went Into the then new coun-
try OF Ohio. married. reared a large family
and became one OF the patriarcbs OF his
section. Later his wife died. and great
desire came over him 10 see the people
whom he had known In his youth.
The old mans glee was great when he
discovered that the girl whom he had loved.
now the widow OF Toomer. was still alive.
He went 10 see her last night, and the re-
suit was the wedding OF to-day.

MILLER'S BRIGHT IDEA.
tits Now Netting Him, without Capital
From $4,000 to SIS, 900 Year.

There are many kinds Ct mines and num-
erous devices for saving the precious
metals. but the strangest in all Montana
and perhaps I'm the world is the one used
by Mr.. G. +. Miller, Of Butte.
When the Anaconda and st. Lawrence
mines were opened up in Butte 1t was 1ound
that the water contained In the assures was
strongly impregnated with copper In solu-
ton so much so that iron cages, cars and
tools Of all kinds were quickly destroyed
by tho affinity Of the copper for the lr0n
And this is the case to-day. Only few
weeks' immersion in the waters reduces a
mass OF iron TO pulp. and this requires that
all material used in the mine and composer
Of iron and steel be replaced at frequent
intervals. After three or four weeks con-
slant use I'm the mines, cage or car II
found 10 be pitted like the inner bark OF
tree after an attack by insects.
The water i'm the St Lawrence mine IS
nrmned out and flows across East Broad
way down into the valley. For a long time
this water went 10 waste, as no methOu
was known Of extracting the copper from
e. After a while however, n discovery
was made that is being utilized TO good al
vantage.
some fin cans found their way into the
small stream. perhaps through the medium
of boys nj play in a short time 1t was
noticed that the cans had every appear
ance Of being made Of pure copper, so
thickly were they coated with that metal
These were regarded as curioslties by all
who saw them but presently they attract
cd the attention OF n man who saw ltle
further than most people. His name was
Miller, and he began 10 experiment anu
found that old cans and iron junk thrown
into the wafer were soon destroyed. and In
their stead was Il rich deposit OF copper
IIe had an idea that IL would pay TO ex-
tract the copper from the water by TINS
process and Immediately purchased the
exclusive right 10 the water for small
sum OF money. Then he put in series OF
reservoirs ard tanks along the little gully
where the water ran. These he filled with
all the old refuse metal 10 be had In the
town. including barrel hoops. In the course
Of about six months he made clean up
and found that the old funk was totally
destroyed, but in It's place was sedimen-
tary deposit I'm the bottom OF the reservoirs
and tanks assaying 80 per cent. copper
He then enlarged his plant somewhat, ana
IS now deriving a handsome revenue from
his peculiar mine. His annual Income Is
estimated at from $4,000 TO $4,000 All
the labor necessary is in cleaning up and
charging the batteries or reservoirs.

DISCOVERY or NOAH'S ARK.
DR.. Nouri and Mr.. Bryce Both Say That
They Have Seen 1t.

The Rev. John Joseph Nouri, d. D.,
LIZ D.. the Canadian arrhdeacon Of Baby
Ion and Jerusalem, has discovered Noah's
ark. He has been engaged in exploration
for many years, and among his latest
triumphs he records the discovery OF the
sources Of the Tigrls and Euphrates. says
the Million. But he never expected to soc
tho veritabe ark made Ivy Noah. and when
on April 9th, at about o'clock In the
morning, the vision came TO him, he was
almost overcome" He had attempted to
reach the top Of Mount Ararat in Armenia,
5000 feet high, but owing TO violent
snow storm which ragged he only succeeded
In reaching a height Of $4,000 feet
Afterward, owing 10 Indictment weather
prevailing he and some of his friends de-
seconded some other way, and then 1t was
BY tie merest accident that the ark was

count Of an interview in Scientific Stiff
ings): II discovered 1t myself being the
first TO see It, | saw 1t through field
glass at first. though we got close TO it
that IL was visible TO the eve alone. We
had reached blight over the green grass
and at length in deep snow and over
glaciers OF probably 10000 feet CT 5000
feet. and within 800 feet or 1900 feet OF
the top, presently a great object came into
view through the glass
OF course the doctor wondered what II
could be. but when a bow and stern came
I'm sight he had no doubt that he was look
ing upon the veritable workmanship Of the
patriarch Noah 1T stood" he says, mere
than 100 feet high and was more than 300
yards long 1t was dark reddish almost
iron colored and seemed very thick. The
snow has preserved it," says DR.. NOuri
"NYere 1t not for that-constructed even OF
hardwood as II is-it would have been i'm
DC ssible to last over 1000 or 5000 years
AS 1t il II will be preserved for ages and
ages, perhaps 10000 or 10000 years"
Unfortunately, he does not say how he
identified the ark. He saw only the rear
part of H. and he found the top covered
with cap OF snow from five feet to ten
feet thick. Some Of the rooms or turrets
of the ark were broken halfway by the
snow. but Or. Nouri thoroughly assured
himself by gazing long and repeatedly at
different parts Of the great craft that 1t
once for forty days and forty nights had
on board every living and creeping animal
and insect and every flying thing in the
world"
