Literary Notes.
THE LINCOLN history in _The Century_, by the private secretaries
of Mr. Lincoln, Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, will deal during the
coming year with the political and military history of the early
period of the war. New light will be thrown upon certain events
of that period by the publication of correspondence and other
documents never before printed, and unknown to but a small circle.
The historians now enter upon a more important and personal part
of their narrative. The publication of this history has brought an
increase of 25,000 subscribers to _The Century_.
* * * * *
MRS. FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT will contribute a short serial to the
coming volume of _St. Nicholas for Young Folks_, which is said
to be a worthy successor of that author’s famous “Little Lord
Fauntleroy,” which appeared in _St. Nicholas_ a year ago. Joel
Chandler Harris, John Burroughs, Frank R. Stockton, H. H. Boyesen,
J. T. Trowbridge, Col. Richard M. Johnstone, and Louisa M. Alcott
are among the many distinguished writers who will contribute serial
and short stories to this famous magazine for young people.
* * * * *
EDWARD EGGLESTON author of “The Hoosier Schoolmaster,” will furnish
an illustrated novel to _The Century_ for 1887-8. It is a story of
pioneer life in Illinois.
* * * * *
GEORGE W. CABLE will contribute a novelette to early numbers of
_The Century_, and Frank R. Stockton has written a three-part
story, “The Dusantes,” for the same magazine. Mr. Stockton’s new
novel, “The Hundredth Man,” has just been issued.
* * * * *
THE SIBERIAN PAPERS, by George Kennan, will be a great feature of
_The Century_ for the coming year. Mr. Kennan has just returned
from a journey of 15,000 miles through European and Asiatic Russia,
undertaken at the request of the editor of _The Century_. By means
of a circular letter from the Russian Minister of the Interior, Mr.
Kennan was enabled to visit nearly every important prison and mine
in Siberia.
* * * * *
SONGS OF WORSHIP, the new Sunday-School hymn and tune-book, edited
by Waldo S. Pratt, of the Hartford Theological Seminary, is just

and German composers, and is arranged in the most available manner.
Every hymn and tune it is believed will prove of helpful service.

Liquid
Cottage Colors.
The best =MIXED PAINTS= manufactured. Guaranteed to give perfect
satisfaction if properly applied. They are _heavy bodied_, and for
work that does not require an extra heavy coat, they can be thinned
(with our Old Fashioned Kettle-boiled Linseed Oil) and still cover
better than most of the mixed paints sold in the market, many of
which have so little stock in them that they will not give a good
solid coat.
Some manufacturers of mixed paints direct NOT to rub out the paint,
but to FLOW it on; the reason being that if such stuff were rubbed
out there would be but little left to cover, would be transparent.
Our Cottage Colors have great strength or body, and, like any good
paint, should be worked out well under the brush. The covering
property of this paint is so excellent as to allow this to be done.
Put up for shipment as follows: In 3-gal. and 5-gal. bailed
buckets, also barrels; in cans of ⅛, ¼, ½, 1-gal. and 2-gal. each.

THE NEW HYMN BOOK, by Rev. Drs. Hitchcock, Eddy and Mudge.
Rev. J. S. DICKSON, Pastor Woodland Presbyterian Church,
Philadelphia, and a rare musician and singer, says: “I have just
gone over the ‘Carmina Sanctorum,’ by Rev. Drs. Hitchcock, Eddy and
Mudge, and find that it is by all odds the best hymnal I have ever
seen.”
Rev. THOS. B. McLEOD, Clinton Avenue Church, Brooklyn. N.Y.—“It
satisfies me beyond anything of the kind I have ever seen. Of
course, the names of the editors warranted high reputation. But
considering the progress made in the direction and the number of
fine Hymn Books recently published, I was not prepared to see a
work so eclipsing as this.”
EDWARD H. MERRILL, Pres’t Ripon College.—“The ‘Carmina Sanctorum’
is a superb book in all ways. I advise Churches about to change
books to examine this one.”
Rev. PHILIP SCHAFF, D.D.—“It is a model collection.”
Rev. P. T. FARWELL, Stockbridge, Mass.—“The book is a thorough
delight.”
E. C. EVANS, St. Paul, Minn.—“It has already contributed not a
little to the enriching of the devotional part of our services.”
CONGREGATIONALIST.—“One of the most practically serviceable hymnals
which we have seen.”
_Hymns and Songs for Social and Sabbath Worship._ 75 cts.
“Hits the Golden Mean.”
FOR PRAYER & PRAISE MEETINGS.
SUNDAY SCHOOL TIMES, PHILADELPHIA.—“It is a book of great merit, as
might be expected from the character and experience of its editors.”
INDEPENDENT, NEW YORK.—“Any congregation that likes to have its
hymnal represent careful thought and full culture, would do well to
examine this collection of Carmina Sanctorum.”
EVANGELIST, NEW YORK.—“The hymns are only the choicest, and they
have been carefully edited by that accomplished authority in
hymnody, Dr. Hitchcock. As the American Churches have grown in
taste and capacity for musical expression in worship, this book
seems to meet their wants completely, giving them plenty of tunes
they can and will sing, and at the same time educating their taste
and improving their public worship.”

THE NEW AMERICAN
ROLLER ORGAN
PERFECTION IN MECHANICAL
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS ATTAINED
AT LAST.
=PLAYS ANY TUNE= arranged for it, from a lively waltz to the
slowest church music, with =perfect tunes and concert time=. Gives
better satisfaction than a =Hundred Dollar Parlor Organ= and
will give ten times more pleasure. =Plays Two Hundred Different
Tunes= in a superb manner and charms every listener. Beyond a
doubt the grandest and most marvellous Musical instrument ever
presented to the great music loving public of America. This is a
new instrument never before offered and should not be confounded
with the cheap Automatic instruments. It is as much superior to
them as the Silver Tongued Cornet is to the ear piercing Fish Horn.
No perforated strips of paper to bother the player and require
frequent replacing. =THE NEW AMERICAN ROLLER ORGAN= is operated
upon a somewhat similar plan as the =FINEST FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR
FRENCH MUSIC BOXES=, from a roller with metal pins; the pins
operate upon valved keys, made of finely tempered steel, the roller
being connected with the gearing which also works the bellows. The
working parts of this magnificent instrument are made of solid
metal, are easily taken apart or examined. No better workmanship is
found in the most expensive musical machinery. The instrument is
thoroughly made and yet so simple a child can operate it without
fear of injuring it in any way. The rollers are made of light wood
and the bearings and pins which are made of metal, =WILL NEVER WEAR
OUT=. This instrument is the Perfection of Musical ingenuity and
=PLAYS MARCHES=, =WALTZES=, =POLKAS=, =JIGS=, Reels, Sacred music,
selections from Operas, Popular Songs, etc., and is peculiarly
arranged for playing =DANCE MUSIC= in perfect time. If you have
purchased any other style of an Automatic Musical Instrument and
have found it a disappointment and a nuisance =YOU SHOULD SEND FOR
ONE= of the above described instruments. Nothing grander, more
reasonable in price or combining so many desirable features can
be found in French or Swiss Music Boxes. For a short time these
instruments will be offered for =Seven Dollars= in =BEAUTIFULLY
CARVED CASES= with Music. Send for one and take our word for it,
it will fill you with astonishment and delight. Send money by Post
Office order, Registered letter or by Express. Address all Orders
