LITERARY NOTES. “Nimrod in the North,” by Lieut. Frederick Schwatka, 1s about the firat In the field of the handsomely illustrated books designed for the autumn and the following holiday teade. The people of Omaha will be partlcularly interested in thls work owing to the fact that Lient. Schwatka Is well known here, having been stationed for some time In the department of the Platte. This book 1s a quarto of about 200 pages, published by Cassell & Co., New York, and for sale In Omaha by J. 8. Caulfield. The author made himself famous as the commander of one of the Unlted States exploring expeditions in the north polar reglons, duriog which he successfully performed the longest eledge journey recorded In history, about 3,200 miles. He has collec’ed In this volume stories of a large number of hunting and fishing adventures, most of which he elther took psr: In or had personal knowledge of, though he has included some from the testimony of clo Ac adventures, Interminglod with his tales of adventure there is a great deal of in- formatlon about the hablts, etc., of the polar bear, the walrus, the seal, the rein- deer, the muzk ox, the Arctle fox and other animals puraued and capturad, not a littlo of which Is a valuable contribution to knowl:dge of natural history., Itlsa book whose perusal will affora infinite dclight to boys—and their elders also— who are fond of rod and gun, while the known opportunities for knowing whereof he writes and the character of the suthor make it entirely trustworthy. The pab- ltshers have printed it elegantly on fine heavy paper, and embellished it with a profusion cf engravings. Of greateat public Interest among the contents of the September Century are Gon. Grant's articlo on *““The Slegs of Vicksburg;” the forcible frontlepieco por- tralt, after a photcgraph taken when Gen. Grant was president (with which s given a fac-almile of his first signature on the army pay-account as ‘‘general retired,”) and 8 communicatlon from Gen, Grant, dated Mt. McGregor, June 22, which la printed with ‘“Memoranda on the Civil War,” and in which he withdraws what was eald by him in the Century of last February In regard to the conduct of “Gen. Lew Wallace and Gen. McCook at Shiloh,” An editorlal In *‘Toples of the Times” explains why Gen. Grant's article on Vickaburg is printed without Allustrations, and also that the subject will be renewed, with pictures, at another time. A supplemental article of great Interest, in the ssme number, fs “A Womsn’s Diary of the Siege of Vioks- burg,” which gives an inside view of the harships and anxleties suffered by the benelged. The ‘‘Memoranda cn the Clvil War,” basides Gan, Grant’s communioca- tlon, embrace, **Who Projected the Canal at Island No. 107" by Gen. Schuyler Hamllton; ““The Charge of Cooke's Cav- alry at Galnes' Mill,” in reply to Gen. Fitz-John Porter, by Gon. Philip St. George Cooke, with *Recollections of a Participant In the Charge,” by Rev. W. H. Hitcheock; and a contlnuation cf the diecasslon In regard to ‘‘Gen. Beaure- gerd’s Courler st Ball Run,” by Msj Campbell Brown, St. Nicholas for September has a long and varied table of contents, one of the most attractlye features of which is a far- ciful tale by Frank R. Stockton, entltled “*The Rattle of the Third Cousing.” ‘‘A Great Financlal Scheme,” by Sophie Swett, 1s a very funny story with a good moral. In “Splders of the Sea,” C. F. Holder contributes an intersting psper about crabs. Henry Frederic Reddall wrltes an Interesting article on ‘‘Nick- names” Of the seiials, ‘‘Sheep or Silver?"” is concluded; while both **Deiven Back to Eden,” by E, P, Roe, and ‘‘His One Fault,” by J.

Military Tele- graph Corps and the O14-Time Telegraphers' Association, Meet Together. Electrical World, Aug. 22, The reunion of the soclety of the U S, military telegraph corps and the Old- Time Telepraphers’ assoolation was held In this city on Wednesdsy and Thuraday of the prosent week, and proved to be ono of the most enjoyable meetlngs of the astoclation. The attendanco was also Iarger than on any preceding occasion, -n'g. although thoe objacts of the gathor- Ing wero chiefly social, the interest taken in the several matters brought before the meoting was very marked. The buslness meotlng of the mi'itary corps was called to order at 11 o’clock on ‘Wednesday morniog, in the parlor of the Murray Hill hotel. President W. R. Plam was In the chair. Among the prominent members present were Vioce- President E, Rosewater, Colonel James R. Gilmore, Ool. John O. Van Dazer, Capt. L. T. Sheldon, Secretary J. E Petlr, Comrades W, J. Denly, M. Kerner, W. B. Somerville, J. H. Bun- nel, D, H. Bates, Sol. Palmer, L. D. Parkor, Rlchard and John E, O'Brien. A number of Old-TImers were also prea. ent, ino'uding Moss: ames D. Reld,S 8. Fatrchild, O. 8. Jonee, Oharles G Eddy, Wm_D. Sargent, F. B. Knight, Walter P. Phillips, H, Y. Bresee, Geo. C. Maynard and Geo. M. Dagan. The meeting was excoedingly Interesting, and the discussions were entered lnto with much epirit. The U. S. M. T. Corps, in additlon to {ts roclab’e features has the object In view of secaring from Congress, if possible, a recognition of the services of telegraphers during the war of the rebellion. We have pointed ont npon a number of occ- caslons in theme columns the important part which telegraphers took in the milltary services during the war. Presi- dent Plam, in his address, prasented the matterin a very clear and able light, but we regret that the crowded etate of our columns and the lateness of the meeting prevent cur gi*ing anything like a de. talled report of the reunlon in this woek’s rumber, After the dellverlng of the president’s snnual addrees, the following now mem- bera were elected: Mesars, D. Wilmot Smlth, I. A, Sherman, Gao. M. Lyons, Tsxac W. Hallum, O. H. Spellman, Joha Lonergan, D. J. Ludwig, W, H. Mork- ley, J. J. Wickhsm, H. R. Trowbridge, D. H. Fitch, E. O. Brown, W. J.

A verbal roport was made by Comrade Rosewater on bebalf of the committee on congreesions] sciton. Comrade Rose- water also moved that a commi t:e of three bo appointed by the president to drafs resolations commemmorative of the death of General Anson Sioger. The president appointed as that committee: OComrades E. Roetewater, A. G. 8 fford and Robert Lines. Tho secretary and treasurer’s report was then read and ap- proved. Col J. C. Van Duzar offered the fol- lowing: WHsREAS, One of our comrades has been soverely afflicted and is by such afflicticn ren- derad unable (although sincerely desirous) to meet with us on this occasion; therefore be it Resolved, That this society extend to that comrade, Seymour J. Kelly, of Paineaville, Ohio, 1ts haartfelt nym;uthg in the affkiction that has befallen himw, and hopes that he may be fully restorad to health; and be it Resolved, That the secretary furnish Com- rade Kelly with a copy of these resolutions. It was moved and carrled that the re- port of the committes ou resolutions re- gording Gen, Stager report at the ban- quet. 1t was moved and carrled {hat the present congressional committes be con— tinued, and that the presldent be empow- ered to sppoint two additlonal membars. It was also resolved that an assessment of $3 be made for the purpose cf creating a fund for the rellef of Indigent members, and also to meet the expentes of the con- gresslonal committee in its work looking to & recognilion of the eervices of tele- graphers in the olvil war.
