Magazines and Notes.


The May number of Ererybodys Mdga-
zine is full of that sugar-coated information
of which its conductors are making a speci-
ality. There is not dull page in the book
nor one which sounds "educational;" but
no one can read this number without adding
materially to his store of knowledge.
In view of the fact that the American
Unitarian Association is about to celebrate
the 18th anniversary of its founding, the
NeD England Magazine gives place in its
May issue to history of "UnitarianiSm in
America" a careful and thorough study of
the movement, by Rev. George Willis Cooke.
He goes back in his account even to the
Puritan days, since many of the funda-
mental principles of the Unitarian belief
were thus early to be found.
''Bits of Antiquity at the Paris Expo

a most important article, which is published

President Mckinley signalized his re-
turn to the city by taking up the question
of the Commissioners for the District of
Columbia, reappointing Commissioner Jno
W. Ross as the Democratic member and
appointing Mr.. II. b. F. Mcfarland as the
Republican. This latter was a complete
surprise. Mr. Mcfarland is a newspaper
and a man of ability and character. He is
much interested in cha ritable and church
work and identified with the Presbyterian
church. 1t was news to many that he is
classed as a Republican. The appoint
ment is said to have been quite UNEXPECTED
by him. Both appointments are strongly
approved by the press and business men.

HISTORY OF THE 9TH IND. By
a Member Of Co. E. Published by the
Regiment Copies can be obtained OF

IS.
There were probably many as good,
hard-fghting, long-enduring, faithful
er-all-circumstances regiments as the
9th Ind. Certainly there was none better,
neither in the war of the rebellion nor in
any other war since the sword began to
devour. It was Of the best type OF an
American volunteer regiment-made up
Of sturdy, resolute boys, animated by a
sincere love Of country, and a desire to do
their whole duty. Their story is admirably
full of making himself out a hero that he
conceals his identity under the modest
designation Of "A Member Of Co. E, feeling
doubtless that that is proud enough record
for any man. Anyway, he has written
model regimental history. He does not
waste any time discussing the causes Of the
properly feels that he has got quite enough
to do to tell the story of the 1 1,101 comrades
who constituted his regiment, and their
three long years of the hardest kind of
marching. fighting and enduring, which
began in the Shenandoah Valley, and the
sharp little battles Of Kernstown and Cedar
Charlottesville, and Gettysburg, and then
vas shifted TO the West and the Atlanta
Campaign. BY the time their service
ended 169 Of the 1,1O1 had been killed
1873 per cent, or more than one in every
'seven-and 616 had been killed or wounded
and 133 more died of disease.
The author has told as well as could be
told the daily life and acts of these men
how they went into the service j. crowd of
raw, undisciplined country boys, making
with nothing of the soldier in them but
tlieir sturdy courage and devotion to their
countrys cause, and how through the
fires and trials of actual service they be
came hammered and shaped into as fine
a body of soldiers as ever stood under any
flag. 1t is one of those books the value
of which will increase as the years go by,
for it will be mine of information to the
future reader as to just what was the
character of the American people in 1861,
and what kind of sons they reared in their
homes, their churches and schools to meet
the great eXigency that then came upon
the land. The best thing about the book
is its unpretentiouSneSS-l sincere effort
to tell, without any word-palntlng, any
flowers of rhetoric, the plain, everyday
story of plain, everyday boys, who had
ordinary appetiteS, passions and tempers,
who dearly loved full mess-pot and a good
dinner, who made daily the most human
of mistakes and then had the manliness to
laugh at them, but who We're always in
stantly ready to rise to the loftiest planes
of beroiSm, and Self-Sacrlfice. The book is a
large one OF $40 pages, and well illustrated.
