PORTRAITS FROM THE SIXTIES.

PORTRAITS FROM THE SIXTIES.
One of the most significant vol
umes under the head of memoirs
that has appeared in years. Justin
Mccarthy endeavors, as he says, to
bring before the public of this oen-
tury the likenesses of men and women
who were famous, or conspicuous, or
peculiar and eccentric fifty years ago.
Such an endeavor on the part of the
author of"A History of Our Own
Times" 4" is destined to inevitable and
preeminent success. He draws
solely from his own abundant store
of experience, and the result is an
entertaining and desirable oontribu-
ton to literature.
AMERICAN LITERATURE.
Professor Woodbury. writes with
remarkable insight and in an enter
tanning way of the most important
periods of American letters. No
book has before been written which
brings one so thoroughly in touch
with the work of the master minds
in our literary history, at the same
time pointing out the full significance
of each separate epoch. 1t is not
book for the specialist, but for the
intelligent general reader who may
be interested in . fascinating and
decidedly important phase of Ameri-
can development.
GATES AND SONGS OF AnERIcAN
CHILDREN.
William Wells Newell conferred
great benefit upon the world in
general and American little folk in
particular when he wrought this
classic. The new edition of it is
wonderfully improved. Every game
known to American childhood is
described, even to "Tag." Boy
hoods technical terms are made
clear to ignorant grown-ups. And
best of all, words and music to
the songs that accompany so many
games are given in full. Such book
is essential to the proper enjoyment
of life in any household where
children are.
PYdMALIoN AND THE IMAGE
William Morris needs no word
of introduction. The beauty of this
poem of his is we'll known-its
classic perfection, infused with
modern life and color. In its gift
book form, illustrated with repro
ductions of Sir Edward Burne-Jones
paintings, it is a little volume of
unusual artistic excellence and
beauty.
SIX GIANTS AND A GRIFFIN.
Here are more new and unusual
fairy stories. Mrs. Edey has caught
the idea that the child mind loves
surprises, and surely no such strange
and delightful creatures out of fairy
land have crossed any little fellows
fancy before. Every one of the
pictures helps to entertain. A
Christmas gift for fairy-loving little
folk.

SOME "REMINISCENCES OF
GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE
l. H. sruRcs COMPANY c, 44th ALABAMA LAWS BRleADE1.

There are many features of General
Lees character as a soldier. as Christian
and as a scholar. but little incident in
his life which came under my personal
observation and which has never been re-
lated, impressed me as an Indication Of
the true greatness of his character.
After the battle of Spottsylvania, while
we were waiting some move on the part of
General Grant. there was seen a thick
cloud of dust on the other side of the line.
Lee knew it either indicated a movement
of the army of Grant or an attempt to de-
ceive. but which?
He signaled to the extreme right where
General Fields floods old division) was
in line. "Send scouts to the front to see
what that dust means" Another scout
and myself were sent on the mission with
specific directions ITO cross the Mata-
poni Under a mill dam Follow the river
under the cover OF the bank until we
came to path which led up the bank,
and go east until we came in sight of the
road and report back as soon as possible.
These directions were carried out, and we
went until we came in sight of the road
and could hear the men talking and heard
their boast: ION to Richmond We will
get there in three days, boys" Infantry,
artillery and baggage trains were pushing
forward as fast as possible 1t was three
miles from our lines, but we hurried back
and reported to General Field. who sent
the message to General Lee, who returned
the MESSAGE Thanks to the scouts.

forgotten until In 1897. I met comrade w.

message, being on the signal corps. The

the same day he wrote to Henry Rich
ard Lee: Our lines on Winter and Pros
pect Hills and those of the enemy on
Bunker's Hill are in full view of each
other, a mile distant. our advance guards
much nearer and the sentries almost near

ton Neck 1t Is the same"
1t was from Wadsworth House also
that the American general rode out on
the reconnaissance that may have been
the first step in his plan for investing the
Massachusetts capital and which is
marked in his journal of accounts: ITO

Aside from its historical associations
Wadsworth House served during 120
years as a home for the presidents of the
college and it has been said that "proba-
bly, no private mansion in America has
der its roof tree" 1t was occupied by
Benjamin Wadsworth Edward Holyole,
Samuel Locke, Samuel Langdon. who
temporarily retired to make way for Cen

The late Cardinal Vaughan was prob

looked a true Roman prince of the
church. But he was most simple In his
tastes and habits. Several times Roman
Catholic ladies' presented him with costly
robes. and on one occasion they pre-
scented him with carriage. But they
found that he soon sold their gifts and

BUSINESS OF OLD YEAR.
Bradstreets Reports Failure Record
for 1902 Favorable.

New York. Jan LIN spite of some
crop shortages, added TO record break
ing strikes and reduced foreign trade,
Bradstreet's on January viii report
that the failure record for the past year
is on the whole. a Favorable one. In
only one section the south. was there an
increase of casualties over the record of
1901, and in only two. the south and GEN.
trail west, was there an increae of liza
bilities.
During the year there were reported
991 commercial failures with liabilities
of S105. 623 and essets of $50. $40. &c., a
decrease in number of ga per cent and
falling off of liabilities of IS per cent
from 1901. Compared with 1900 and 1899
increases in the number of failures of
5.5 and per cent are shown, but COM
PARSONS with former years are markedly
in favor of 1902.
In liabilities an even better showing
is made. those for 1902 being the small
est reported for twenty years. While
the proportion of assets to liabilitie was
IS per cent in 1902. as against 16.9 per
cent in 1901 and 47.2 per cent in 1900. it
is lower than in any preceding year since
1895
With two exceptions the number of
failures was the smallest in fourteen
years. despite the fact that the number
of concerns in business is growing stead
lily, the increase since 1892 aggregating 10
per cent. The annual death rate" is
shown to be only so in 1902 against SIS

BETWEEN THE NEW RACES
Gives Exhaustive Review of
the Worlds History.

Vienna, Jan. I'm the course of IN
exhaustive review of the history of the
world contributed to the Neuie Free
Presse by Max Nordau, the writer deep
ly deplores the growth OF military i'm
perialism in the United States, and says
that by the admission OF the spirit of
militarisrn, which was formerly rigor-
ousIy excluded, America is raising OBJ
stacies to the entrance of emigranis
whose only capital is their strong work
ing arms.
Speaking of the future of the new world,
Nordau says the opening of the Panama
canal under American ownership will
mark the beginning of new epoch. The
tragic stage of the worlds history. which,
in ancient times, centered in the Medi-
terranean, and which moved in the naval
ages to the Atlantic, will then be trans
ferred to the Pacific ocean. At first the
Anglo-SaXon element will seek 10 drive

ing over single points in the Lacifc
ocean; then the struggle will be carried
further, to the Asiatic coast. where An

decide the momentous world question of
whether eastern and southern Asia shall
remain British or Russian.
To this forecast Nordaue adds:
