LITERARY NOTES.
Olio of tho interestiuR literary
nunuuucuuiouts of tho sprlug Beasoti
Is that of ii uow novel by Dorothea
Gerard, the popular author of Ortho
dox, etc., aud the jolut author of A
Sensitivo Plaut nud Reatn. The

will bo published Bhortly iu Apple

Tho twenty-seventh volume of
tho Magazine of American History
closes with tho June issue, bringing
Its customary elaborate Index for the
benellt of scholars. Edward F.
do Laucey writes one of tho best ar
ticles lu the current number, entitled
"Kiug George's personal policy lu
England, which forced his subjects
lu America, against their wishes,
Into a successful revolution." This
scholarly paper Is worth careful
study as showing how easily au ar
bitrary aud injudicious ruler can
wreck a prosperous government.
George III. was young and head
strong, aud he meant to govern,
not merely reign. He kept British
allalrs in toustaut turmoil to carry
oat his ideas of absolute power, by
which means ho lost h'is American
colonies forever. Tho departments
aro well tilled, and the index illus
trates the remarkable success of this
magnziue lu its choice f precious

signed for their journals; these aro
thu best work of their best artists,
aud wo havo no hesitation iu say
ing that tho contents of these jour

make the exceptionally lino covers
very appropriate.
Tho message to pupils recently Is
sued by tho oxccutlvo committee- of
tho National Columbian Public
School Celebration speaks n vigorous
word lo every ono of tho several
million American boys nud girls.
How far the word will havo ellect
depetids upon each Individual boy
aud girl. Onco onllstcd In tho
movement they will feel tho stimu
lus that comes from being lu a great
movement, oiu of a mighty mass,
working for a common end. When
that end Is the glory of such a coun
try us ours, Ih It not worth a little
wicrillco? Wo hope that the pupils
lu our public schools will bo as enter
prising lu moving In this matter as
those In any other placo in tho stnto.
Our schools should move with equal
step on that day with all other
school throughout tho Republic.
Falluro to participate In this na
tional demonstration will doubtless
bo causu for regret In later years to
nil pupils who permit themselves to

ABSOLUTELY PURE
nud see tho dying trees, tho un
pruned, or worse, if possible, tho
llly-pruncd trees, tho fact is mani
fest. Tho model farmer delights In
walkiug over his farm, nailing on a
board, opening a ditch, casting out
everything that Is a hlndrauco to
beauty nud usefulness. Tho stook
tnaii Is dally seen with his flocks
feeding them, caring for them, nud
even fondling them, nnd if ono In
the llock receives not his attention,
that ono brings him no protlt. Tho
mind of tho youth Is fed, petted
and trained, but the mind that re
ceives no attention, no care, no
tralnlug, how deplorable tho fact,
how unfortuuato that human sou),
n drone In socloty, a vacuum in
humau klud, or a fiend among men.
Is It n painted picture I ofler to
your view today, or is it a fact
proven in all of tho branches that be
only Is successful, who gives his at
tention to his employment which
receives the husbandman's care,
that Is feeding tho moving millions.
Is there n key to successful labor?
Doe.i It not consist in the mind being
lu harmony with tho labor? Is It
not true that tho mind that is not
working In harmony with tho hand
caunot produco n fruit that will
show in tho market, with his whole
heart aud hand Is iu his business?
Tho orohardist who loves his or
chard, will make his dally walks
among his trees. If there Is a blight
or decay, he will search out the
enemy, If n tree Is lenniug, ho will
prune tho heavy bUIo nud stake it.
If an improper growth Is noted from
tho roots, or elBowhore, ho will re
move It. Does n tree droop ho will
prune to nn Inner bud, and thus In
cline it upward, does It grow too
stately ho prunes to an outward hud,
and makes it into n top mpro spread
ing. Is there an over abundance of
fruit, ho thins out tho Interior, is
there a barrenness, he keeps tho
branches well cut back preparatory
for another year, Is there n tree void
of growth or fruit ho will look for
tho cause, oven to tho digging up of
tho tree, removing the old soil, prun
ing tho roots, nnd filling in with
now soil. All theso things nnd
mora will bo attended to. Every
thing that Is detrimental to the
growth nnd fruiting of a treo, his
care sees to, avoiding ranking bruises
and ugly wounds, whlou nro slow to
heal.

New York, Juno 15. Tho side.
wheel steamboat John C. Euimou
Bnult at the pier nt College Point,
Long Island, Sunday night, while
on tho way from Whltestone to tbto
city with a party of excursionist.
Those on board tbo steamer bd
narrow escape from drowning, ami ,
had it not been for the presence of
mind of Captain William Clapper,
many of those on the Emmone
would have undonbtedly gone to the
bottom. Sunday morning the Sm
monB started out with 50 excursion
ists aboard, bound for Whlteston.
Tho steamboat was rapidly skim
ming over the water on the return
trip and had reached a point on the
sound half way between Whltestone
and College Point when she struck a -rock.
A holo wus'cut hi tho bottoinj
and she begau to fill rapidly. Those
ou board were panicky, and created
considerable confusion nnd fright In
their efforts to get Hfe-preservere.
Captain Clapper nud his crew
handed out life-preservers, aud
helped many of tho nervous persona
aboard to adjust them. Tho life
bonts nnd life-rafts of the steamer
were made ready for launching.
Tho steamcj had been cutting
through the water, and was rapidly
getting in sight of College Point
when it was noticed she was begin-,
nlng to settle. The water began; to
ponr over the free board, setting -the
deck furnishing floating about.
Tho steamer was going uuder a -full
head of steam. Her passengers
recognized that It was a racejbt '
tween life and .death life if thevee
sel managed to make College Point
dock, death at least to some if she
fell short of her destination. Thoee
on board calmly watched their" im
pending fato. Nearer and nearer
approached the steamer to the pier,
until she was within 50 feet of .It.
AU tho timosho had been sinking
deeper into the water; the hissing of
steam was heard as the water rushed
down into tho engine-room, pro
claiming that there was only a few
seconds to spare. The Emmons
reached the dock, allowing sufficient
tlmo for tho passengers and crew to
disembark before sinking. The
smokestack nnd pilot-house alone re-,
malned abovo water.
The Mare Island Accident, c
San Fiiancisco, Juno 15. En
sign J. L, Jayne, formerly of the
Charleston, late of tbo Iroquois, end
now on detached duty en route too
Portland to Join tho coast survey
lleot, said last night: - :,
"In my opinion, tho cause of the
explosion at Mare Island will' never
bo known. Tho shells for the Bos
ton were oval in form. They ere
hollow of courso. aud the apertuw
through which tho powder, k 'in
troduced Is nt tbo top or oval end "of
thu shell, tho base being solid. The
shells aro rnado to enrry Jusfeo
much powder, and this 1b measured
out and poured Into them. SoBte
times it happens that the powder
needs a slight packing in order that
the full required quantity may ' be
loaded Into tho shell, When this is
(ho enso tho powder is packed with
n wooden rammer. When the shell
Is filled tho aperture Is closed by
percussion fuse, tho cap of which Is
so arranged that it cannot be s
ploded without first being turned 'so
as to connect with the fuse. ''This
cap Is uover turned until the shell t
loaded into tho gun, so if the shell
was dropped tweuty times it could..
not bo exploded unlesn the omf
should bo acctuentaiiy turned. TBtt
is hardly posslblo, owing to the ns '
chunical arrangement of the esp.
Now ubout tho men loading tits

thu gunner, a warrant officer of 'Um

going Into the magazine. It mejre'('i1
that a seaman in ramming the
