"A Novel Production.

The st. Paul Press club book of short
stories, entitled For Revenue Only"
was issued from the press to-day.
Harry w. Wack, Of the ST. Paul Globe,
is the originator Of this novel produc-
ton which has been written by twenty
five members of the press club for the
revenue which obviously follows the
success of the enterprise. There is Il
local furore over the book. 1t is beau
tifully bound in old gold cloth, gilt top,
uncut edges. It contains over hun
dred and twenty thousand words and
thirty illustrations on $50 pages OH the
heaviest buff book paper used. 1t is
criticised as being the greatest literary
bulk which the Northwest has pro-
duced in the last ten years. The stories
are generally applicable, and nothing is
of purely local concern. The talent Of
the North Star state has contributed it's
effusion. DR.. John J. Conway, Rev.
Samuel G.. Smith, Capt Henry A.
Castle and Harlan P. Hall are among
the authors. The studies are humorous
and pathetic, social, temporal and
psychical; quaint, queer and amatory;
in fact the whole fabric of life seems
to make up this unique composite.
An edition de luxe is now being sub
:scribed for.

STILL HALE AND HEARTY
THOMAS w. HIGGINsON AT THREE
SCORE AND TEN.
The Noted Massachusetts Soldier and
Author Living in the Town of His
{ Birth-ROlling Across the Ocean
Joe Jeffers0n's Birthplace.

Although Thomas Wentworth Higgin-
son, soldier, historian, essayist, poet and
reformer, completed his SEVENTEEN year
a couple of days before Christmas,
his eye is not dimmed nor is his natural
force abated, and there is good reason
to hope that the venerable author, who
resides at Cambridge, Mass, has many
years Of life in hand. Born Dec. %,
1928, at the place of his present resi-
dence, Mr.. Higginson was graduated at
Harvard in 1S41, and at the divinity
school in 1847. In the same year he
was ordained pastor Of the First Con-
gregational church at Newburyport, but
resigned three years later on account
Of his anti-slavery preaching. He ran
for congress on the free-soil ticket, was
defeated, and from 1852 to 1853 was
pastor Of a free church at Worcester.
Then he left the church and devoted
himself to literature. He had been act
i've in the anti-slavry agitation of this
period, and for his part in the attempt
ed rescue of fugitive slave was in
dicted for murder with Theodore Par
ker, Wendell Phillips and others, but
was discharged on account of a flaw in
the Indictment. He also aided in the
organization Of parties Of free-state i'm.
migrants to Kansas in 1856, was per-
sonally acquainted with John Brown
and served as brigadier general on the
staff Of James H. Lee in the free-state
forces. He became captain Of the
