EDWARD EGGLESTON.
Dr. Edward Eggloston, who died at
his horuo near Lako Georgo, Wodnes
day, Soptembor 3, wasborn inludiana
and in 1857, when twonty vears of ago,
ho entored tho Mothodist miuistry.
Aftor nino yoars of religious sorvico
ho begau his career as a journalist
and this calling led out to his roal
vocation, writer of romanco and his
tory. Ho was tho first American novolist
to iutroducc provincial roalism, or, to
qnoto a critic, "to porcolvo tho valuo
of dialect in intorpretivo flotiou." His
novol "Tho Hoosior Sohoolmastor, "
so widoly rcad, is au oxample of this
and his realistic presontatiou of tho
lifo ho know so woll bears tho stamp
of tho artist. Egglestou was among
tho most scholarly of Amoricans, his
bright and gonial hnmor onlivoning
all his work. It has boon paid of liim
that though ho was a good novolist ho
was a bottor prcachor ; that ho was
bottor still as a conversationalist, and
bost of all iu philanthropy. Besidos
tho"Hoosier Schooolmastor," which
flrst brought him into prominonco,
which has been translatod into Fronoh
and Danish nnd is read now with as
much onjoyment as twonty-flvo or
tliirty yoars ngo, ho wroto "Huldah,
tho Holp," his flrst story for growu

Scribnor's Magazino " Tho Oirouit
Ridor, "" Tho Faith Doctor, "" Roxy, '
aud "Tho Graysons," all of which
aro dosorvcdly road to this day,
thougli tho yonngost of thom is tou
years old. Ho gavo ns in his lator
years, two most ontertaiuing histori
cal sketohos, "Tho Bogiunors of a Na

SEORET SERVIOE MEN
Tho sccret sorricemen, who nccom
pauicd tho President upon his visit to
Montpolior fouud no daugor present.
Two arrived in Barro and two in this
city on last Friday ovening. At tlio
Stato Houso threo inoideuts occurred,
which momentarily arouscd tho snspio
ions of tho secret sorvico men. Whilo
tho President was in the Stato trcas
urcr's oflleo, a man was noticed to bo
loitoriug in tho sliadow of tho oppo
sito corridor with ono hand concealed
beueath his coat. As secret sorvico
man investigated, only to flnd ono of
our most roputablo oitizons who desir
ed to got a glimpso of tho President
but was too modest too join tho group
about tho oflleo. Whilo tho President
was making his addross a suspicious
looking mau was observed directly in
front of tho stand with his right hand
concealed behind his sombrero hat
which ho hold in his loft hand. Tho
mau was immodiately placcd undor
tho closo survoillance of oflicors,
without boing conscious of tho fact.
Ho finally dropped his hat aud it was
soou ho had uothing but a haudkor
chiof in tho concealed haud. A seorot
sorvico man, also, whilo tho President
was speakiug, caught a young man
trying to ontor tho Stato Houso by a
rear window but becamo satisfled tho
follow had no othor motivo oxcopt
ouriosity aud ho was taken to the liues
and lot go. All this goes to show
that ovory movomont of tho President
whilo traveling is guarded ns much as
is possiblo from probablo dangor, and
by traincd oxports.
