MORE than 250 dispossess warrants
have been derived on New York ten
ants by landlords during the last few
weeks. It presumed that failure to
pay rent was the cause in the major
ity of cases. This indisposition to
practice leniency toward impover-
ished tenants. is peculiar to New
York landlords. no reports of similar
proceedings having been received
from any other city. Rather than
afford shelter to destitute families. or
families in arrears for rent, they pre-
ferred to allow their buildings to
stand idle. This may be business,
but in these times the interjection
of the milk of human kindness into
business is not only commemorate
but it is what is expected from peo-
pie who are themselves in the enjoy
ment of the necessaries of life.

The great difference in price

The growth Of periodical literature
IS something unprecedented, and there
is hardly prominent author in the
United States who is not tempted
away from his books to contribute
articles to the Forum, the North
American Review. the Atlantic or
Century, where his work commands
immediate recognition and excellent
pay. This is one of the influences
against the making of books which
IS permanently hostile. 1t marks
the special literary development OF
our own time. 1t shows that the
world of thought moves more rapidly
than the world of books. and that
the magazines as quicker means OF
reaching the public mind, have step
ped in front of books and to GER
tain extent usurped their place.

The Final salute at Appomattox.
There occurred curious incident of
which no mention is made in the books
which have treated of the closing
scenes at Appomattox. The muskets
of the Confederates were allowed to
remain stacked on the field. The grass
caught FIRE in some way and was al
lowed to burn. So suddenly had the
fighting ceased on the morning of the
9th that thousands Of the pieces were
left loaded. AS the flames of the
grass crept along the line of stacked
muskets the guns were heated TO firing
heat, and soon there was incessant
popping The balls went up into the
air almost straight, until the force of
the discharge was spent, and then
dropped down. 10 this day the field
of surrender is strewn with these bull
lets, and so little hass Appomattox
been visited that the balls are easily
found. This firing of the muskets nv
the burning grass was the only salute
that accompanied the surrender.
