LITERARY NOTES.

Mr.. W. T. Stead, the distinguished
London editor, has been in America
for some weeks, part of which time
has been spent in Canada. Mr.. Stead
has long been warm friend Of Lord,
and Lady Aberdeen, and hi, recent
sojourn at Ottawa as the guest of the
Governor-General has resulted in %
very readable and complete character
sketch of Lord Aberdeen and his ac-i
complished wife, which appears in the
January number of the Review of
Reviews. The article is one which
will be interesting in North America
on both sides of the boundary line and
interesting also in Great Britain. The
article is profusely and attractively
illustrated. 1t is followed by sum-
married report Of the address given by
Mr.. Stead in Toronto upon the mission
and destiny of Canada, in which Mr..
Stead dwells especially upon the posi-
ton of Canada as connecting link be-
tween the British and American halves
of the English-speaking race. /
The color plates of The Art Amateur
for February are an exquisitely natur-
al study of pink roSes-strikingly
deceptive in its resemblance to the
original oil painting-and Sunset
on the Sound" in water-colors. The
working designs in the supplement
are treasure for the china and glass
painter, the wood carver and the lover
of art needlework. For the church
embroiderer, Mr. g. A. Audsley fur
nishes two full-Size designs of stoles,
with directions for working them.
The practical character of all the in
structions accompanying the designs
published in The Art Amateur is one
of the most valuable features of this
sumptuous magazine. A double page
is devoted to the portrait head of
pretty girl-a simple study in charcoal;
for the frontispiece, j. G. Brown con-
tributes one of his characteristic news
boys; j. c. Phillips has a page of
studies of Southern Negroes, capitally
drawn in pen-and ink; and there are
fullpage wood engravings, and land
scapes and floral decorations. The
practical articles include china paint
ing, oil, water-color, pastel and tapes
/ try painting; attractive home interiors
are illustrated, and the important art
exhibitions of the month are fully and
critically noticed. Montague Marks,

FALSE CHARGES.

The Liberty Herald ably defends
Mr., Walter NJ. Denny, Democratic
nominee for Congress, against the
many and false charges that are
afioat throughout the district:
Before Denny received the noml-
nation, no charge was ever brought
against either his private or political
character. That was because it was
thought he stood no chance. He
conducted fair, square campaign,
told no lies, and made no attempts to
blacken anobody's character. He
mace o the canvass on his own merits,
and not on some other candidates
real or supposed dement's. BY that
means he secured the nomination.
since that event, the opposition have
put their heads together to find some
foul as well as fair means to encom-
pass his defeat. Evil reports are be-
ing prepared, and it is hoped with
the circulation Of these and the assis-
lance of lukewarm Democrats, that
their man will win. IL is said Denny
is not competent. We have no proof
that he is not. On the contrary, he
has had more advantages and oppor-
tunltles to be so fitted than his opoo
nent. lie finished his education at
Roanoke College Va. ,and graduated
in law at Oxford. And yet they say

Out OF all the brainy men in Jackson
county, he was selected to represent
them in the constitutional convention,
and this ls evidence that they rccog-
nzed him as sound. sensible man,
and had confidence In his. ability and
integrity. There is bound to be
merit in q man who is so popular in
his own county, aud that he is COM
petent, II is unnecessary to add.
Before being elected Clerk, he was
engaged in the lumber and mercan-
tile business, and was succesafnl in
both. He belongs to the church, is
a member of the Masons, X. OF p. ,
and Odd Fellows. He has u family
of eight children, all of whom will
