Literary Notes.

Sullvan's expedition of 1873, to put
an end to the Indian depredations and
menace In the city of New York, has not
had the prominence which it deserves In
most histories of the Revolution. The
subject at last has adequate treatment at
the hands of Rev. Willism Eliot Griffis,
In his article, "New Hampshire's part In
Sullvan's expedition Of $780," in the
December number Of the New England
magazine. Whatever DR.. Griffis writes
Is interesting, and his studies In prepar-
ing the present article have been careful.
His article is illustrated by portraits and
many pictures of the places associated
with the campaign.
The Christmas (December) Century Is
resplendent In an appropriate colored
cover designed by Herter; and the froHt-
ispiece is one of group of full-page and
minor decorations, richly printed In
color and tints, illustrating the great
ode "On the morning of Christ's Ma
tvity," which is reprinted from Mas.
sons edition OF MDton's poems. Special
attention has been paid to color printing
In The Century of late years, but it Is
believed that nothing else that has been
done in the magazine quite equals 10
richness of effect the results that have
attained In this number. Most note
worthy among the other contents Is the
opening installment of Augustine Biz.

distinctly humorous style OF the authors
"Obter Dicta," and lavishly illustrated
by Csstaigne. An essay by Charles
Dudley Warner on "The Pursuit OF
Happiness" has timely interest as
probably one Of the latest things ever
produced by the genial satirist who
passed away last month.
In the December Forum the reader is
treated to wide variety of articles.

your ten-cent bottles. began to

the truth, the second dose l took
gave me lots of relief. 1 kept on
