It has been decided by the literary *xecutor to publish In tbe tame volume General Logan's personal reminiscences of the ,civil war from Bull Run to Vicksburg. The follow­ ing letter is made public to dispel all doubts as to tbe authenticity of the work: ' . February 23,1887. R. 8. PEALE & Co., Chicago; Dear Sirs:-- In presenting to the public "The Volunteer Soldier ef America,*' the last work of ray depart­ ed -tfUsband, I feel sure this book can have litrrival. The subject was one go near Gen. Logan's heart that for years he £ave much time research and thought to the work. He was negoti­ ating with a publisher when so sud­ denly called frotn hi* labors; hence 1 present it thus early to remove a'l pos­ sible suspscien tint other hand« than hie had completed this great work- one which 1 hope may have the popu­ lar reception It so justly merits.

ON Saturday last this village was visited by one of tbe worst set of tramps, calling themselves the B. C. C. C., which, translated iuto modern lan­ guage was said to mean Beloit Colored Church Choir. II this U the best spec­ imens the Beloit churches can send out we would advUe them, for their ow good name, to keep them at home in the future. They advertised to give a concert in Riverside Hall in the even­ ing, and to say that it was a farce, does not half express it. The troupe con­ sisted of six, two men, two women and two children, all colored. Filing a saw would have been music to their sing­ ing, and the few who had. the misfor­ tune to hear them were heartily glad wheu it was done. Besides this they were dead beats of the first water. They misrepresented at the hotel and lied to get their printing, and after the farce called a concert was out. claimed they bad no money to pay their bill*. The result was they de­ parted Sunday morning, leaving a re­ membrance behind in the shape of un­ paid bills to the amount of about $15. We advise all who may hereafter see these colered tramps with the myster­ ious letters, "B. C. C. C.," to give them a wide berth. They have neither music aor honor in their souls. THE trottlag stallion, "George 0.\ will not stand for service this season, as be will go to Chicago April 15th, and will be under the care of Peter V. Johnson, one of tbe best trainers in the West, and we shall expect to see him make some very fast time before tbe season is over, as.he is capable of S>ing. His blood lines trace back to 1 the best and fastest bloods now known, and tbe time Is not far distant, barring accldeats, when they will all want a "George O." colt.

Llpp'n««tt'i Monthly Magsilae. 'Douglas Duane.' tha new romance by Edgar Fawcett, which appears complete In LippincotCs Monthly Mag• aziite for April is in a vein which this popular author has rarely essayed be­ fore. In fact, it reads more like R. L, Stephenson than Edgar Fawcett. The story Is weird and strasge, and Is told with a power that holds the reader's interest to this end. No such absorb­ ing psychological study has appeared siuce the publication of 'Dr. Jekyll aad Mr. Hyde.' Lucy C. Lillie, under the title of 'Belgravias Bohemia,1 gives aa interesting sketch of the literary and artistic society ot modern London, with glimpses of Wm. Black, Herbert Spencer, Gilbert, George Eliot. Car- iyle, Kuskiu, George Boughton, etc., etc. An anonymous author contrib­ utes a bright and amusing sketoh, My Lady's Maid," which she assures the reader is drawn from life. Will Carle ton's 'Experiences of a Public Lectur- er' Is au entertaining bit ot autobiog­ raphy and will be eagerly perused by all the poets adtnirera. 'Social life at Princeton,' by E. M. Hopkins, of the Class Of '88. is the first of a series of articles wnich are to describe tbe in­ ner life of students at our principal colleges, and are to be written by students themselves. The poetry is excellent. Margaret J. Preston con tributes a stirring American ballad The Mystery of Cro-fi-taM.' Bessie Chandler has 'A Spring Song,' and Philip Bourke Marston has a posthu­ mous poem, 'My Grave,' which is of unusual pathos and Interest, In view of the fact that It was one of the very last things be wrote, and appears to have been written In the expectation of death. Ladies' Hosiery at extraordinary bargains, Giasswaro and crockery worthy of inspection. Dress goods in low and medium prides, tine "lay out." Rockford boots and shoes cheaper than ever before.
