LITERARY MENTION.

Among the features Ol hdI pei
Bazaar for June will be the STORY OF
Garden" told in letters by Eliza
beth Bisland Wetmore, new series
of Coffee and REPAIRED" papers, by
John Kendrick Bangs, and letters from
Paris, giving the fashion and gossip
of that capital.
Perhaps the shortest OF short
stories is a cartoon; for, at a glance,
and sometimes without a single
word, it most truly characterlzes all
the people it depicts and make sure
that YOU do not miss the moral
The political story of a week or of
month is told in the cartoons that
from time to time stand upon the
first page of Harper's Weekly.
Harper's Magazine for June con-
tains 81 pictures. Few books have
so many. But the charm OF these
pictures is not in their number; it IS
in their beauty and variety, as we'll
as their appropriateness to the text.
Scribner's Magazine for June con-
tains an article by John Heard, il,
which. for the first time in accessible
form in English. tells the traglcal
story of "Maximilian and Mexico W
in the light OF many documents
which have recently been published
in France. Mrs. Frances Hodgson
Burnett, with her wonderful power
of depicting child life and her SYM
pathy with it in suffering as well as
in pleasure, has written The Story
of a Beautiful Thing" and the num-
Der is replete with other goods.
The Review of Reviews for June
shows the usual fexibility of that
keenly edited periodical in adapting
itself to the topics of the month. In
its department of Leading Articles it
groups together very remarkable
series Of digests OF important recent
essays on various topics pertaining
to the political and social status of
woman. Moreover, it always varied
and curious collection OF caTlcatures
illustrat ting the history OF the month
is enlivened by number Of cartoons
from New Zealand and Australia,
some intended to eulogize and others
to satirize the enfranchisement of
women in the New Zealand colony
and the unsuccessful woman suffrage
campaign in New South Wales.
These articles and caricatures are
submitted by the Review of Reviews
apropos of the great pending dis
cussion in the state of New York.
The opening article in the New
England Mag azine for June is on
Neal Dow and his Life Work" A
fine portrait of the Maine temperance
man appears as a frontispiece and
the article is written by Rev. DR.. A.
A Miner The Telephone Of To-
day" The Latin Play at Harvard'
and Rhode Island at the Worlds
Fair" are all timely articles and
profusely illustrated. Two papers
on Government by Commissions
are in the number, one OF them being
contributed by Raymond L. Bridg-
man, a brother-in-law of Rev. DR.. c.
Nd. Lamson. The article on the tele-
phone treats especially of the long
distance telephone, and one of the
illustrations shows Prof. Bell send
ing the first long-distance from New
York to Chicago, Oct. -, 1892.
Stories, poems and timely editorials
help to make up particularly inter
esting number of this magazine.

DRY Of our venera BILE townsman of
the long ago, Horace Carpenter,
who recalls the great snow storm
which occurred May IS, 1884. I
well remember it and the weird eff
feet which the green of the young
leaves made with the whiteness of
of the trees; and the amazed dp-
pearance of the spring birds,-the
sparrows, robins and bluebirds
that would half bury themselves in
the snow as they lighted on the
branches and twittered so nervouslv.

ing to look for some sheep that had
strayed away. This took me far up
the slope of Saddle mountain. The
snow was very soft and damp, the
day was warm, the sun shone
bright, and the snow, | think, did
not last more than twenty-four
hours.
Our friend, l think, has put most
too much paint on his brush'-i. e.,
has made the snowfall on that noted
occasion somewhat too great. 1t
was l think not more than a foot.

the depth of two feet.

impression made was very deep and
definite, while our friend was we'll
on in mature years, and was proba-
bly, tngrossed in more important
matters, and has made a slight draft
upon his imagination to aid his
memory.
We have had no snow here or
frost, but our careful florists seemed
very provident in covering their
plants last Sunday night in mortal
anticipation of a killing frost" in
this our sunny South.

A WORD FROM ST. PAUL.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press, speak
ing of the resignation of Rev. DR..
Heath of that city, TO accept a
call to St. Johnsbury, says:
The resignation of their pastor
fell like thunder bolt upon the mem
bers of the congregation, as but very
few of them had even heard it whis-
pered that be contemplated such
step. The greatest opposition has
been manifested TO the acceptance of
the resignation, as DIR. Heath. in the
few years of his pastorate, has won
to an extraordinary extent, the
affection of his people and the rela-
tons between them have been OF the
most perfect accord and harmony.
Under his pastorate the church has
prospered in every way and the
work of the church has progressed.
Some doubt, in view of these facts,
has been expressed as to whether the
resignation will be accepted when 1t
comes up before the church tomor-
row night for consideration.
THE North church of ST. Johnsbury,
which has given him the call, is one
OF the strongest churches in New
England, and its influence is very
widely extended. A committee from
this church some weeks ago visited
the Plymouth church and heard DR..
Heath without his knowledge of
their presence among the congre-
cation. He was invited to preach
at the church a week ago last Sun
day, and the people were SO well sat
is6ed as to his ability that they gave
him a unanimous call"

Advertising car No of the Banum
and Bailey shows arrived in Savannah
last night from Americas and to-day will
bill the city for the third time before
the date of the big show in Savannah
next Wednesday. The coming of the big
show TO Savannah will be an event of IN
usual Importance as the Barnum show is
recognized the world over as the great
est on earth 1t requires tifty-tive spe-
Cially constructed cars to transport the
mammoth concern about the country,
while ten acres of ground are required Oh
which to pitch its tents. The list Of at
fractions this year includes many novel
features in addition to an unusual bril-
liant array of arenic talent. The ethno-
logical congress is a feature both inter
esting and instructive, being a collection
of natives from various foreign climes
never before seen outside their native
country.
Negotiations have been going on some
time for the sale Of the Barnum interest
in the show to Mr.. Bailey. The agree
ment which the late p. T. Barnum and
Mr.. Bailey made when they became part
ners in the Barnum q Bailey cir Gus ex-
pired Sunday, and Mr.. Bailey is now sole
owner. The formal transfer will be
made this week.
The Barnum estate interest is inven-

of dispOsing of it, and Mr. Bailey some
time ago made an offer for it, but it is
said to have been less than the heirs con-
sidered their property worth
MIR. Bailey entered into partnership
with the late p. T. Barnum in 1881, and
retired in 1885, at the close Of the season.
The partnership was renewed at the end
of the season in 1887, an ironclad agree
ment being made, which expired Oct. 80,
1894.
Although the transfer has not yet been
agreed upon, there is no doubt that an
| agreement will soon be made which will
put MIR. Bailey in sole possession.
Executor Fish says Bailey Il Barnum
became equal partners on Oct. %, 1887.
Mr.. Bailey contributed $3.50, 900 in cash,
which was estimated as one-half the
value Of the show. BY the agreement
Mr.. Bailey was to travel with the show
and Mr.. Barnum to appear as often as
possible and address the audiences. Mr.
Bailey was protege of Mr. Barnum,
having been with the show since he was

MANY PEOPLE MOVED.
More Changes This YeaT Than Ever
Before Known.

Yesterday was moving day in Savan-
nah. The streets were filled with furni-
ture laden wagons. More people moved
than has ever been known here. There
was hardly a street in the city on which,
at any time from morning until night, a
row of wagons could not be seen loading
or unloading furniture
a well known real estate and Ouse
renting agent said last night that he had
never seen as many changes as there
have been this year. Nearly everybody,
it seems. wanted 10 move and the most
of them did. 1t was busy day yester-
day for housekeepers as well as the su-
bordinate members of the family.
The head of the house kept out
of it all he reasonably could. More men,
it is said, took their dinners down town
yesterday than have on any day this
year. A few Of them didn't go home at
night
one of the reasons for so many people
moving is the desire 10 secure lower priced
houses. People who have been living in
$40 and $50 a month houses, have gone into
houses renting from $50 TO $40 a month.
The tendency is for lower rents.
The rest Of this week will be taken up
in Strengthening out households and get
ting things in running order again.

close enough investigation.
