The Augusta Chroricle prints the following special from Lexington; ?Col James H Tillman hits been asked if he would accept a good offer to lecture through the West and select his own subject. As yet he has not given the subject a great deal of consideration on account of the trial. [ When asked to-day what would be his plans for the immediate future he said: "First, I am going to get myself in first-class physical condition. I am J not ill in any way, but a man who has had no exercise for nine months ' needs some physical relaxation. ! When I get to ft-eliug strong I am 1 going to work and work hard to make up the time I have lost. That's j all I have in view. I am very grate- j ful to my friends for kind expressions and support." 4iA House Divided" is l he tukim: title of the novel in Lippixcott's Magazine tor Nov- m >*r. Its author's name, E ia Middleton Tybout, is a familiar one 'o readers of Lippixcotts Magazine, though heretofore her productions have been in the line ol short stories, Her "Parable* in H ack1" lately running through LipriXCOTT's are particularly striking and lud'cate that which is richly fu'filled in this latest work. I'he little State of Delaware ha< been chosen by Miss Tybout for ilie placing of .uA House Divided/' and her portrayal of a farmer who because he believes his wife to be untrue to him; has not spoken to her for sixteen years, is a remarkably clever bit of characterization. LlPPIXCoTTs novels are always worth while?and the November number sustains this opinion. ' The Girl with the Banjo'* is bv a writer whose pen name. Jean D Hallowed, keeps one guessing who is the real author ol so raVw-i tale. The sex is confessed by such expressions as "a soncv little lace petticoat," and the whole thing shows the piquancy of a woman rather than the touch of a umere man." "The Man in the Tower," by Francis Howard Williams, Is a forceful story of a railroad signal tower, win* re, in a supreme moment of danger, a man becomes almost divine. A humorous story of a double elopement by'Ralph Mcnrv BarBour, called '-At the Crown and Sceptre," is in the same delightful vein which has bronjht the author to the top wave of popularity. - mi The young man who honestly strives to earn a little ino'e th in he gels usually finds himself drawing the highest salary in the shop A woman thinks that there is only one man in the world whose wife is altogether perfect. cllyiilSl HAVE YOUR MEASURE T A K E N for y>rr rr-?
