LITERARY NOTES.

The incident in connection with
Amelie Riyes that does her most credit
is again revived. According to st.
John" was written to enable ner to
make life worth living for friend.
This friend, woman, was very bright
but fearfully ugly. Amelie Riyes dis
covered, when she was in Paris, that
the French surgeons could change the
unhappy woman's eountenance, but it
would cost SIG, 900. So the gifted young
Virginian wrote According TO St.
John" and received 900 for it's serial
appearance in magazine. She turned
the check over to the surgeons, who
were successful in their operations.
Many persons are still living who re-
member the widely scattered litho-
graphs representing the Arkansaw Set
tier, whose lack of hospitality to trav-
eler is transformed by his visitors abil-
ity to play the famous bacl<wood tune,
These crudely drawn Autographs con-
front the reader OF the March Century,
in which Prof. III. G. Mercer, of the Uni
yersity of Pennsylvania, gives an ac-
count Of his researches "On the Track
of The Arkansas Traveller Prof.
Mercer makes practical contribution
to the history of American music in
his lively account OF the tune, Of which
the music and some of the variations
are given.
General 4. w. Greedy, Of Arctic fame,
begins, in the March Ladies Home
Journal, his articles on George Wash
ington, which are expected to create
considerable discussion General Gree
liz has read over 1000 of Washington s
private letters, and he writes in a
frank, unbiased way of the personal
side OF Washington. His first article
viii deal with the loves and courtships
OF Washington and his final marriage
10 the widow Custis. General Greely's
articles are not likely to confirm tne es-
innate of those who regard Washing
ton in an ideal way. But they are
truthful and admirably portray the
man as he was,in reality.
General Harrison writes of THE
Presidential Office" in the March La
dies Home Journal, and his compre-
hensiye article is outspoken and plain.
lie takes occasion to commend Presi-
dent CIeveland's movement toward es-
tablishing "a more permanent consular
service. The ex-President says: The
need Of a better consular service has
been getting a strong hold upon the
public mind. The practice has been to
make frequent changes in these Of
fees indeed an almost complete change
upon the coming in of an administra-
ton OF different party. The duties
of consul relate almost wholly to our
commerce with the country where he
serves. = The recent move
ment by Mr.. Cleveland and in Congress
for a better qualified and permanent
consular force is to be commended

Mrs. Mary Yelling Lease will quit
talking about finance and enter the
ministry. II isn't possible for her to
know less about theology than about
finance. As soon as She got religion,
she quit the Populists. Why not pray
for the conversion Of them all as the
quickest way to break up the party?

The Winston Republican calls it
"the free silver craze, with which an
effort is made to fool the people I"
Thus it is that the Republicans and
Populists drift further and further
apart in their public utterances.

The action of the fusion bosses in
Catawba in dividing out the offices
thus early in the year looks like Chair
man Holton was right when he said
that fusion had already been virtually
fixed in 60 counties.

latCs an anordoto telling how General
Grant aided Il drover i'll turning his cat

would perhaps have administered to him
the Same lesson which he once taught a
soldier III the Twcnty-first Illinois, when
he commanded thatlygimcnt. An officer
who had served under him at the time
told me that Colonel Grant, us he came
out Ct his tent one morning, found a
strapping big fellow posted as sentinel,
who nodded his head good naturally,
smiled blandly and said, "Howdy, colo

1t Aroused Threats Against His Life and
Against His Church.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beccher, in a graph
ic, reminiscent article entitled "Whon
Mr.. Boechpr Sold Slaves In Plymouth
Pulpit" i'll The Ladies' Homo Journal,
tells of the peril i'll which the famous
preacher placed his life by his fearless
advocacy of the abolition of slavery. "In
1917 Mr.. BcoCEcr became the pastor of
Plymouth church, BroolIyn, and i'll his
inaugural Sermon" she says, che frank
ly stated the position that he intended
to hold in opposition to human slavery
Tho majority OF the church members
agreed with him, but the majority of
the people Of Now York and Brooklyn
were southern sympathiZcrs. OF the re-
alities of slavery they knew nothing.
They regarded it scntimcntally as pa.
triarchal institution that had come down
from Biblical times and that gave the
southern people ample leisure to develop
into charming ladies and eloquent poll
tCianS.
"Mr. BccchCr came to open tho eyes
and arouse the consciences of these sen
timentalists, and he encountered as bit
ter an opposition as that which he had
faced i'll Cincinnati, He was abused as
a negro Wurshipyr, he was threatened
with personal violence, mob was
formed in New York to tear down the

aroused sentiment must be voiced in proper
expression at the polls. This is not within
my province If the rest is well done you
need never fear that part Of the work.
With all your complaints about corruption
in politics, the leaders have high regard
for public opinion. The people do not get
better results because they do not ask for
them. Tell the leaders what you want and
you will be sure to get it if your wish is
expressed with sufficient emphasis and un
animity. Every hand is needed. Every
voice required. No one can be excused
from active participation in this work. Get
out your Gospel sword of truth to-day
right away-and begin. Do not wait fol
feeling or inspiration. The time for agita
ting and crystallzing sentiment is all too
brief and none should he lost.
The cause of Christ cannot prosper and
men cannot have peace while such iniquities
stalk unopposed through our homes. Let
us put on our soldiers armor, recognize
the belligerant nature of our calling, ami
fling ease and timidity to the winds. Let
us invite the war and take the consequences.
There can he no doubt of the final issut
with God and right upon our side.
