The Bells and the Churches.
All of the church bells pealed out
their centennial echoes at 9 o'clock
this morning, at which hour services
were held. The attendance was
large in all and the services were
very interesting and appropriate
and in special reference to the day
and the occasion. In St. Janies
where the Episcopal congregations
united in the service, they- were
unique as well as interesting. The
same service was used there, as
nearly hs possible, as that which was
used by Bishop Provoost in St
Paul's Church, New York, one hun
dred years ago, on which occasion
Gen. Washington and his Cabinet
were all present. Rev. Mr. Arnold,
of St. Paul's, preached an excellent
sermon. The Parish of St. James is
itself about 150 years old, that is, as
the immediate successor of St.
Philip's Parish, and recently cele
brated its individual semi centennial.
The Magazines.
The May number of the Magazine
of American History brings an en
tertaining chapter of Centennial in
formation, "Washington's Historic
Luncheon in Elizabeth," with pic.
torial attractions, including a sketch
of the Boudinot mansion, portraits
of some of Washington's contem
poraries, with engravings of the
china table service and silverware
that was placed before the "Father
of His Country" on that occasion.
These will be regarded with interest
now, as the same service is to b
placed before President Harrison a
the luncheon given in his honor the
day of his arrival in New York City
April 29. 1889. "Oak Hill, the Home
of President Monroe," is from the
pen of the editor. "Indiana's First
Settlement," by the Hon. E. A.
Bryan, is an able pen picture of the
state of Indiana. Then follow

varied assortment ""of interesting
reading. The opening article, "A
Familar Mystery," deals with a
theory of dreanjs, and with occul
tism. PrestoijOonnelly deals with
the negro qustion in the South
and James A: Macknight, an ex
consul, gives an account of the
abuses of the American Consul ser
vice, and suggests a remedy. The
complete novel, "The Tribulations
of one Ebenezef Meeker," by Eliza
beth Cammings, in a very clever
and realistte dktlect story, in which
love, religion, Christian science and
faith cure, crime and remorse are
very happily intermingled. There
are, besides, three excellent short
stories: "Doctor Merivale," "Jen,"
and "An Episode of 'Sixty-four." J.
W. Watson contributes a readable
sketch about "Pirates on Broad
way." The poetry includes some
vigorous lines on "International
Copyright," also "The Troubadour,"
a graceful bit of society verse. The
pressing negro question is also dealt
with in the editorial department by
Bonn Piatt, who furthermore dis
cusses, in hisusual brilliant style,on
"The Condition of Parties," "More

book reviews and dramatic and
