Lippincott's Magazine For August, 1898- The complete novel in the August issue of Lippincott's , "The Last Rebel," is by Joseph A. Altsheler, now well-known as a writer of war stories. The scene is a lonesome post in the southern Alleghanies, held for the Confederacy by a chivalrous mon omaniac after the unpleasantness of 1861-65 h ad ended. The action deals with the experiences of a north erner who unadvisedly wandered into those parts and found himself a pri soner. Tudie and "Misery," as described repectively by Alice Miriam Roundy and Elizabeth F. Tittle, were girls of extremely diverse situation and for tune ; one of them lived in Colorado, the other in a wild part of Penn sylvania. Edwin A. Pratt and John Ford Barbour narrate, in the charac ters of hero and heroine, the amatory exploit of "A Fortune-hunter." The prospects of "The United States as a Colonial Power" are con sidered by Fred Perry Powers. He thinks that this is our manifest des tiny, and that by reforming our poli tics and putting only fit men in office we can discharge our new duties creditably. George J. Varney writes of "Signalling in War-time," and George Ethelbert Walsh of "Priva teers." Two articles appropriate to the sea son are "Death in the Woods and Fields," by Calvin Dill Wilson, and "Summer Logging " by Allan Hen dricks ; eacn is the outcome of per sonal observation and knowledge. A bit of old frontier history is given by Elizabeth Wormeley Latimer un der the title "In Ohio a Hundred Years Ago." It epitomizes the ad \ entures of Charles Johnston, for some time prisoner among Indians, as re corded by him in 1827. Vance Thompson furnishes some leaves out of lis book as "The Po lice Reporter" of sundry newspapers. Annie Steger Winston writes pleasant ly of "The Democracy of Fiction," and considers Scott the most truly democratic of novelists. The poetry of the number is by Celia A. Hay ward. Julia Schayer, Helen Gray Cone, Carrie Blake Mor gan, Grace Shoup, and Grace F. Pennypacker. Another large flag was flung to the breeze in the presence of several hun dred people at the corner of Leonard and Third Streets on Friday evening.

The flag is 18x24, and was procured by subscriptions through the efforts of C. M. Hess. Mountain Grove Oamp Meeting. On account of the Methodist Camp Meeting at Mountain Grove August 3rd to nth 1898, the Penn sylvania Railroad Company will sell excursion tickets to Mountain Grove and return, from Wilkes barre, Tomhicken, Williamsport, Mifflinburg, Mt.

McOlure's Magazine for August- Short stories by Rudyard Kipling ; Rowland E. Robinson, William Allen White, Cutcliffe Hyne, and several others, make Mc Clure's Magazine for August especially a fiction number. In Mr. Kipling's story we have a new and most diverting chapter in the lives of those most ingenious and au dacious English school boys—Stalky, Beetle, and M. Turk. In Mr. White's we have an account of the first real passion of our old friend, the King of Boyville, Winfleld Hancock Penning ton—familiarly known as "Piggy." The other stories are no less charac teristic of their authors ; and all are interesting, cheerful, and wholesome, affording a diversion that is both nutri tious and palatable. The fiction, how ever, is by no means all that is note worthy in the number. It contains a religious poem by Mr. Gladstone ; an account by Colonel Andrew S. Rowan of a peculiarly hazardous secret jonrney made by him across Cuba, after the war began, in order to carry messages from our government to the insurgents ; the conclusion of Charles A. Dana's reminiscences, giving new information regarding the fall of Rich mond, the assassination of Lincoln, the arrest of Jefferson Davis, and other events at the close of the war; and an account by Major-General Miles of his observations and experiences as a guest of honor, last year, at special royal reviews and manceuvers in Russia, Germany, and France. The illustrations of the number are remark ably fine; and so is the special cover designed by Kenyon Cox. THE S. S. MCCLURE Co., 141-155 East 25th Street, New York City. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE COLUMBIAN!
