back from that last fatal charge, they knew 
that the confederacy was doomed. Should 
the charge ever have been made ( There is 
evidently a wide diversity of opinion on this 
point. The descriptions and illustrations are 
vivid and clear. The short stories in this 
number are better than usual. As a rule we 
do not consider the Century stories a strong 
feature, aud we must confess to a lack of 
ability to fully appreciate all of Frank R. 
Stockton’s efforts. The new cover is both 
unique and attractive. 
In Tex Dollars Enough (Houghton, Miff¬ 
lin & (Jo., Boston, Mass.), some excellent ad¬ 
vice is given. The work is really a lecture on 
the science of good cooking strung on the 
skeleton of a story so clumsily that the bones 
are all visible. We advise all who enioveood 
Alice Oates, the comic actress, died at her 
father’s bouse in Philadelphia the other day. 
Secretary Lamar’s marriage to Mrs. 
Holt, at Macon, Georgia, took place at 10 
A. M., on the nth of January. 
Senator Conger's friends say that he will

he entered it six years ago. 
Phil. D. Armour, the Chicago millionaire,

Catholic Bishop Ireland, of Minnesota,

It turns out that Senator Logan had $50,000

The fund for his widow amounts to over 
$50,000. Both Houses of Congress have 
granted her a pension of $2,000 a year. His 
life insurance was $5,000. 
At the New Year’s Day reception in the 
White House Mrs. Cleveland again was the 
central figure, shaking hands firmly and 
heartily with all who called upon her, whether 
white or black, and irradiating the scene with 
her winning smile and bright eyes. 
M hen Senator Stanford goes to Washing¬ 
ton, at the beginning of a session, he deposits 
$50,000 at a local bank an 1 be and his wife 
check against it. If anything remains at the 
end of the sessiou, it is left as a nest-egg for 
the next year’s expenses. As a general thing 
nothing remains. 
Mrs. Logan was married to her late hus¬ 
band in her 10th year, after she bad braved 
the hardships of frontier and mining life, and 
been of great service to her father, the gallant 
Captain John M. Cunningham. Her great¬ 
grandfather, her father and her husband were 
soldiers in the United States Army. Her 
people and Logan’s were bitterly "seeesh'’ at 
the outbreak of the war.

yet Charles Dudley 
Warner finds something new to tell about this 
dreamy old city. The pictures descriptive of 
life in the French quarters are beautifully 
true to the originals. It would be well if 
everybody could go to New Orleans. They 
could see hundreds of ways of making life 
easy and delightful, aud thousands of lazy, 
shiftless methods to be avoided when they 
xveut home. The stories, Narka, Martha 
Reids’ Lovers and Spnnghaveu are good. The 
first is a queer story of Russian life, a life so 
little understood by Americans. Perhaps it 
is because of this lack of knowledge that a 
series of papers on Campaigning With The 
Cossacks has been begun. These Co-sacks, 
strange children of the desert, are well wor¬ 
th}- a place in literature. E. P. Roe, iu The 
Home Acre tells about the kitchen garden. 
We fail to see how a city man can read these 
articles without being made a little homesick. 
The editor of Harper's well expresses the feel¬ 
ing of the American people in his remarks 
concerning the statue of Liberty. He justly 
criticises Julian Hawthorn for his imperti¬ 
nence in publishing a private conversation 
with James Russell Lowell. Mr. Howells has 
some true things to say about Christmas 
stories.

The jgixoiip feature of the Century Maga¬ 
zine at tbi^ime is the Life of Lincoln which 
is appefFlug in monthly instalments, in 
many respects this is the most remarkable 
biography of modern times. Americans are 
never tired of muling about the "ideal Amer¬ 
ican citizen.” His life will always be pre¬ 
sented as a truly representative one. An evi¬ 
dence of what every strong, earnest, honest 
and thoughtful American boy can make of 
himself. The present biography gives us a 
clear insight into Mr. Lincoln’s character aud 
life. He was, in many respects, au ordin¬ 
ary man. lie never lost his hold upon the 
hearts of the people because he never grew 
away from them. Aside from being an able 
study of Lincoln’s character and life, the bi¬ 
ography is one of the most valuable additions 
to our history that has recently appeared.
