H In a torltablo flornl bovror. It struggles for
eilaUnco In the sterllo soil of a Beach street
yard, back of the houso that was once oooupled
by Krlcmon of Monitor faino. and Is now used m
,ne Fifth Ward Industrial School. LastMomlay
some ladles who are Interested In tho school
lent a number of potted plants to Miss Batterle,
tho principal. Tlioroupon the school beoamo
frantically horticultural, and the play houra
sverydar haTO been occupied In watching the
plants to see If they are really growing and In
comparison of notes among tho amateur gar
deners. As there are about 200 children In the school,
nearly all of thorn Italians, tho supply of plant
was not nearly sufficient to go around, and It
It had been there wouldn't have boon room
enough In tho little square patch of back yard
now doing duty as a garden. Bo Miss Sattcrla
apportioned the available space among tho
largest boys and girls, a bolng the most compe
tent to tako care of the flowors. Groat waa tho
dsltlngand spading and watering to get the
earth soft. Each gardenor marked out his or her
V plot, staking It off with close-set wooden pogs,
or w lib lines of string stretched between corner
I potts. Then the flowors were set In carefully
I snd encouraged to do their best to grow. Ovor
I eich Individual garden appeared on a placard
I the name of the proud owner, and aa a special
I faortha smaller children were permitted to
I water the flowers, a privilege) so much In de-
I mand that the yard bad, fair to become a sulta-
I ble spot for aquatic plant. Thus the entire
I school folt directly or Ttoarlously tho pride of
I nmnrlatarr Interest In tho garden.
I For two or threo days all wont well with the
Bft. flower not, the smaller children In their romp
at recess taking care not to Infrlngo upon the
I space given orer to the flowers, but day before
1 esterday thoro was a (ad accident to Canno
ned Llbernardo's two geraniums in their neat
Ittlebedat theangloof the fence. WhonCar-
meluoel carao to school Wednesday morning tho
I first thing he did was to go out to see how his
flowers were growing. Then he went In, took
Mlts Satterle by tho hand, led her out
9 and painted to the fenced-in plot orer
which his name stood. Thero were footprint
In the soil which he had spaded up with so much
H labor, and the two geranium plants lay flattened
and crushed. M Iss 8atterlo tried to make them
stand up, but they lopped over dismally, and
the Inexperienced eyes of the young gardenor
m recognlied the wreckage of all his hopes. Down
& he sat upon his geraniums, put his head on his
knees and wept bitterly. . ,...,,
There was a great stir among tho borticul-
Jurists -when the fate of tho Llbernardo flower-
bed became known. Mary Carlo, whose tirop-
srty lias just across the sidewalk from the
raised garden. Immediately raised a largo card
IB board sign pt warning on a, stick t
I KMP OIT THB KABTIL Xary Carlo.
I Daniel Delorenxo, who rorols In tho dlstlnc-
M tlon of possessing a nasturtium, wrote out a
, similar order on tho fence which shades hie
grant, and most of the others copied the notion.
One youth set up a large sheet of blue paper in a
forked stick; so large that his garden Itself la
eulte overshadowed by the placard, " Louis's
Earth." Another sign waa: "Keep oft Xicolino
Earth." and next door to this appears, "Please
keep oft The Garden. Ttoslna Oalllpoll."
Miss Carlo, with whom tho scheme of sign
painting originated, explained when asked about
her placard:
" it first I had It ' Keep Oft the Onus.' ilka it
is in the squares: but what's the uro of a sign
like that where there ain't any grass or any po
liceman to keep you oil It I Bo I said Keep Off
the Earth.' "
"That means 'Go out of the world and don't
live.' " said Miss Satterle. Why didn't you put
It 'Keep Off tho Dirt M"
" It ain't dirt," recited Miss Carlo, much of
fended. " It's my garden."
In spite of warnings, another corner lot waa
devastated the very day after the signs ap-
Ipeared. and thero was mora lamentation. Since
then there has been no more wreckage from
misplaced feet, but the withering sun beat
down yesterday Into the shadcless square patch
Of Jtfro,' and the plants drooped nndor It. except
those in the shade of the fence, which aeld up
-their heads pretty sturdily.
"I'm dreadfully afraid our garden Is going to
to a wilderness," said Miss Satterle yesterday to
a visiting Sun reporter; "but I wouldn't dare
tall the children so. You have no idea bow ab
sorbed they are In the garden. It Is the first
chance they have ever nad to "help things
grow," as one of them put it. To-day one of
them came to me with tears In her oyes to tell
me that the leaves of her biggest geranium were
toraing yellow and curling up, and she waa
afraid It was going to die. The soil here Isn't
rich enough, I suppose, (or the plants to last,
but I'm sure I don't know what the children
will do when they come to realize that their
labor and care have all been for nothing."
As she was talking a brown-skinned boy of
perhaps S years came toddling out with a little
conch of cut flowers In bis hands. Charitable
persons send cut flower to the school almost
erery day for distribution among the children,
and this was his share. Laying the flowers care
fully upon the .ground ha produced a pointed
stick from some Interior part of his apparel and
proceeded to excavate a hole In the ground.
Having achieved a suitable depth, as he judged,
asset In the few roses and clover stems which
made up hit bouquet, packed the dry dirt around
them, ran Inside the house, and presently reap
peared with a enp of water, which he poured
canfully orer his garden. He was searching
for chips to make a fence when the reporter left.

,A little omission on tho part of a clerk caused
no end ot trouble In the late senior class of the
Kew York Homceopathlo College, and tho ruffled
feelings of two of the graduates were not
soothed until the faculty Invested in a second
set of prizes at the cost ot 6160. Even then
Messrs. Warren and Buys (new doctors) missed
the chance of appearing on thi platform aa the
honor men of the class. Charles P. Deady of
this city and Frank H. Blocker of Hartford bore
these honors by mistake.
Oo the night of the commencement exercises
ererybody prevnt knew of course that Warren
sad Buys in the order named were to get the

100 and $i0 respectively. The astoulthment
waslntenso, therefore, when Deady and Blocker
were called up, patted on the back, and exhib
ited as the honor men of the class, for everybody
know, at least all the students, that while their
Coal averages must bo high they had "flanked"
jaeir Junior "exams" in anatomy and chemis

Brlsr sUvlawa of Imaortant Interesting
Mew Pablleatiaaa.
Tho volume " Mountain Climbing." published
by the Scrlbnsrs, will Interest thoso who never
climb mountain qulto a much a thoso who do.
Perhaps no greater thrill, and no mora reason
able sensa ot danger, como to the man who, with
threo or four other men tied at interval to a
ropo, ascends n mountain In Swttierland, than
to the adventurer who runs Into a thunder
storm, on a crowded steamboat, on his 3V
ccnt way to tho wonders and delectations ot
Coney Island. Dangor Is a universal ele
ment, and It presents Itself at home aa
well as abroad; but It Is to be said
of the romoto danger that It Is rathor mora Im
pressive than the dangor which Is Immediate,
and that tho woll-calvod youth clinging to the
apex ot the Matterhom excites more apprehen
sion than the old gentleman of 00 reading a
newspaper In his comfortable armohalr In this
community, though thoro 1 no good roason why
ho should. Of the sevon article Included In
thl attractive book, wo consider that the ono
by Mr. Kdward L. Wilson, describing tho dlfll
cutties ot tho ascent ot Mount Washington In
winter, is qulto aa full of tho quality of lively
human Interest as any ot tho others, and It Is our
opinion that tho woather observer who went
tor a considerable dlstnnco up Mount Washing
ton feet foromost. In the toeth of a gale that
blew 1B0 miles an hour, found his pulses aa
much stirred and his lust for mountain climb
ing aa-noarly satisfied as though ho had been
attempting Mount Ararat or tho Mountains ot
tho Moon. Especially attractive Is Mr. A, F.
Jaccacl's account ot the ascent ot Mount JEtna)
it Is sensitively written, poetical, and charm
ing, iu Is all of Mr, Jaccacl's work
that has como under our observation. It
is good to road "Mountain Climbing"
after long application to tho problem novels and
tho opinions upon reasonableness In fiction ot
Mr. Oconto Mooro and others. This we venture
to say upon tho theory that It Is desirable occa
sionally to get somewhere. While Ibson writes,
and Mr. Moore proclaims that he write better
than tho Deity, Mr. Jaccacl and others sur
mount actual mountains and leave their testi
mony. Ibsen, ot course. Is unaffected by the
other circumstance, and so there Is no reason
why everybody should not bo happy. The
mountains ot earth exist a well aa tho moun
tains of mind. When the brain Is tired we may
well permit our legs to got Into operation.
It la a pleasure to rocord tho appearance ot an
authoritative reprint from the fourteenth edi
tion of Sir Edwin Arnold's essay on "Death and
Afterwards" (Now Amsterdam Book Company).
When Ooethe said of doath that "It was com
mon," he did no more than to reiterate and some
what curtail Shakespeare's observation Involv
ing the furthor Idea that it was a pasting
through nature to eternity. Tho truth Is probably
that not 8hakospeare and not Ooethe and not
Blr Edwin Arnold Is competent to Instruct us ex
haustively upon the sequel of death. 61r Edwin
regards the matter with that turn ot optimism
which Is natural and becoming to a person In
health who Is fairly woll satisfied with himself.
It is safe to say that SlrEdwln could never hare
written "The City of Dreadful Night," and that
if there Is no miscarriage In his particular casa
ot evolution, he will bo no Schoponhauer In a
future plane of existence. Whether, in a future
and sublimated plane, he will bo permitted to
write verse and editorial stuff Is as one may
think. Perhaps, for ono reason or another, he
will be penstonod and retired. Meanwhile the
curtain of an earlier poet remains down, and,
for pessimist at least, " a universal darkness
covers all."
The sixth volume of the novels of PJflrnitJcrne
BJOrnson, translated Into English, edited by Ed
mund Oosse. and published by the Macmtllans,
contains " Magnblld" and " Dust." The last
named story Is full ot the sad Norwegian style
which tho late Prof. Uoyeson so eagerly com
mended. It has a moral, and la probably recom
mended In realism, though It cannot positively
be said that sadness Is mora reailstio than joy.
At all ronts, it is very different from any
thing lhat was over written by Hans
Andersen, who, according to Prof. Boyesen, waa
a hopeless romanticist, and. Into the bargain, an
overgrown child. Tho dust In this tale means
the dust ot religious tradition. There Is pointed
out here the danger of believing in angels. Two
children, threatened with chastisement by their
father, run away from home and nearly perish
In a snowstorm. It is shocking to the mere lit
erary sense to come across this pas
sage: " The fish pond,' I found my
self saying before I had time to think.
and the affect on myself and on them all was aa
thongh there had been an explosion In our
midst." Fortunately the children had not per
ished In the fish pond, but the phrase, "an ex
plosion In our midst," remains terrible and
disastrous. The effect of It Is not to be over
come by the general solemnity of the story. The
translator should be stood In a corner, kept In at
recess, and made to read Scandinavian or Rus
sian stories for an hour after the close of school.
He should get It good.
Olive Schrclner is probably quite as clover a
Herbert D.Ward, but not she, any more than he,
should experiment In Action with the most ex
alted characters of sacred history.
"Trooper Peter Halket" (Roberts Brothers,
Boston) may bo a deserved rebuke of the ways of
the English In Mashonaland, but It Is not pleas
ant reading for the sensitive, and It Is probable
that It might ba o been equally effective whllo
being less objectionable. Whatever the wrongs
and vlolunies In Mashonaland, thoy can hardly
excuso " Petor Halkeu" In addition to Its bad
tasto the story drones and 1 uninteresting. The
set attempt to be startling at any coat is not al
ways successful.
"The Private life of the Queen; My a Member
of the Royal Household" (Applotons) Is a vol
ume that, appearing, as it does, upon the eve of
the great JuL..ic lelehratlon, has an exceptional
and timely interest. The author, who is evi- j
dently well acquainted with all the details of
the life of the royal household, writes
plessantly, and, while tho book has no
special literary merit. It Is Interesting In
that It givos the reader a real acquaintance
with tho personality and private life of a singu
larly interesting publlo figure and, when we
contrast the English Court a It Is to-day with
what It was. even In tho rollicking times of
George tho Fourth of festive memory, this pic
ture ota little old woman, quietly transacting
the business of State, and seeking her sltnplo
amusoinenta with her grandchildren, her pots,
and her game ot patience, llngors in the memory
as a singularly pleasant ono.
Hero Is a curious story, that, If we ara not
mistaken, Is In this volumo for the first time
made public:
About Dlokent anl the Queen there Is a most
touching little story, whloh the ,aage of time
makes It poulbls to rtlatt, Tlu great author,
while still early In his career, contrived the moat
paasluuaU attachment for her Uajeaty, tbu glrllah
beauty nbtib abe retained unimpaired for many
years after her marriage, and her sweet grace having
mado tho deepest Impression on him. IIu wsnt every
wliem where he was likely to bo ublo to see her, and
lu a touching letter to Ur. Thompson, then a light In
literary clrcloa. and the father ot Mrs. Alio Ueynell,
and tho well known artist. Lady Ilutlor, he poured
out hli love for the Queoni not as hli aorerilgn, but
as a woman. In this same letter he described how ho
had spent days and weeks In the neighborhood ot
Windsor, hiding among ths trees In the park and
lounging about her farorlta drivea so that be might
sometime catob a glimpse of her.
In tho second volume of his " History of Eng
lish Poetry " (Macmlllan), which bears the sub
tltlo "'I ho Henalssanco and tho Reformation;
Influence of tho Court and the Universities,"
Prof. Courthorpo covers tho period extending
from 150 toIOOO, and ranging from Wyatt,
Lyndsay, and thu Earl of Burrey to Sponsor,
Lyly, and Marlowo. As, In a former volumo,
ho showed bo w the medlosval system" of European
art and literature grew, by slow degrees, out
of tho decoding elements of the Roman empire,
and traced tho Influenco of scholastic education
aud of the powerful Intellects of other countries
on English thought and stylo; so ho now treats
tho sixteenth century as tho great transition
period from medlosval to modern da)S, and at
tiiosamotliuo shows tho Influence of Petrarch,
Arlosto, Muchlatolll, and others, plainly traw
able iu the work of Lyly, Spenser, Marlowe, and
their contemporaries.
Tho first chapter give a oomprohenslv view
of the oolleeUr foroat acting on the Imagina
tion of Europe at the beginning ot the sixteenth
century: In Spain, the Intensity ot Catholicism
oaused by the long struggle between Christian
and Infidel; In Italy, the modification ot the
chl valrlo standard ot moral and manner by the
Renaissance; In Germany, the groat religion and
educational movement represented by Luther
and Erasmus, and. In Franco, the struggle be
tween tho Feudal tradition on the one side and
the Crown and the Bourgeoisie on the other.
From all these thlngv sprang the main intellect
ual motives by which the English poets ot tho age
wero Inspired. " Now," aay Prof. Courthorpo,
"in every Europoan country, In various form
and under different aspects, arises the Idea of
liberty ot thought and octlon. In tho Constitu
tion both of the State and the individual. All
ot these influence beat, like the waves ot an
advancing soa,upon tho English imagination,
and bogln to break up tho solid structure ot tra
ditional bollet and ancient chivalry."
Two of tho most Interesting chapter in the
book are those on Lyly and Sir Philip Bydney,
and the nature of tho Euphulstlo and Arcadian
movement In literature. After tracing tho
general movement In Kuropo for tho refinement
ot each vulgar tongue Into a fitting Instrument
for tho various requirements of courtly conver
sation and literature n movomont carried In
France to a climax ot monstrosity In the dialect
ridiculed by Rabelais In the celebrated encounter
between Pantagruol and tho Limousin scholar,
Prof. Courthorpo, point out ths Influence that
led Lyl and hi followers to depart from the
simple and harmonious period that bad como
down direct from Chaucer, and to aim at the
construction ot an artificially Illustrious and
courtly style. Those Influences culminated In
the appearance ot an English translation of the
works ot Antonio Guevara, a Spaniard who at
tempted, in what he called the alfo ut (Jo, to im
itate tho balanced periods and verbal antitheses
of the Latin orator and historians, a form of
literary affootatlon that tho English writer at
once did their beat to reproduce.
Euphuism waa on ingenious attempt to give
an appearance of organio life to a structure
formed out of a medley of exhausted systems
scholasticism, feudalism, Clceronlsm, Petrarch
ism; and, llko tho parallel movement of the
Prodeuses" In France.lt failed to stand the
analysis of reason and good sense.
Nevertheless. Lyly had made a discovery
which ws of permanent value, and for which
he ought to receive full credit While the lan
guage of philosophy and criticism was still in a
fluid stato he had perceived the advantages of
clearness, correctnoe. and precision in the ar
rangement of words. It was not altogether his
fault It his age was more favorable to the devel
opment of language than to the expression ot
thought. He at least showed the nation the
possibilities of balance and harmony In English
prose composition; and tho form which he es
tablished In the structure ot the English sen
tence has never been entirely lost sight of by his
successors."
In a chapter on the evolution ot the English
poetical drama the author traverse, ono
again, the oft-quotea and oft-criticised state
ment oy Schlegol, that Shakespeare " owed hard
ly anything to his predecessor," and show
the slow gradation by which the dramatlo
art passed from It rudimentary stage In the
Miracle Play and tho Morality of tho Middle
Age Into the hands ot those who brought the
form ot the romantlo drams, to it full per
fection. Taken as a whole, the volume 1 on exception
ally Interesting one, and fulfils the expectations
aroused by the appearance of the first of what
promise to be a standard series. Prof. Oour
thoroo writes In clear and scholarly style, and
his breadth of view, hi erudition, and his capa
city for mastering and presenting detail give
this work a solid value that will be recocnlxed
br all who are Interested In It subject matter.
Volume XDX of "Tho Yellow Book " (John
Lane), shows the usual diversity of contents,
but the tono throughout seems more subdued
than of yore, though the cover still retains
it ancient brilliancy. There la something
of the youthful pessimism and premature
world-weariness that marked so much of
the work of tho young men and wo
men who were the original contributors
Mis Ella D'Arcy. Mr. Sidney Benton
Thorpe, and ono or two others have written short
stories that are sufficiently gray and gloomy to
satisfy the saddest reader; bnt we miss much ot
the old audacity, and, with the departure of
Mr. Aubrey Bcardsley, a source of grewsoms
inspiration seems to have been removed. Mr.
Henry Harland write a sparkling little story
that. In spite of It artificiality, stands
out In pleasant relief, and Mr. John
M. Robertson's dissertation, "Concerning Pre
ciosity " Is excellent, though many readers will
disagree with his somewhat slashing criticism
of Mr. Oeorgo Meredith. To find fault with Mr.
Meredith's style Is a sufficiently easy matter,
and In this direction even tho 'prentice hand
may safely venture; but when Mr. Robert
son accuses the novelist of resorting to
venerable and worn-out expedients, tricks
that belong to the art of Fielding and ot
Bmollett, and when he dismisses the delightful
eplsodo of the swimming encounter between
Weyburn and Amlnta In "Lord Ormont and
His Amlnta " a " an Impossible dream," and as
" the Imagination of a man who either never
know what swimming Is or has forgotten what
he knew," wo feel that even the slashing crltlo
is not Infallible, Nor are we sure that in
the art of Fielding and ot Bmollett there
Is not much that might be studied with
advantage by soma of these young men to-day.
Still, theso are bnt matters of opinion after all;
and there are many things In Mr. Robertson's
artldo that make It well worth reading. Mr.
Le Oallleune's two " Prose Fancies " have that
polished prettlness that hi admirer look
for, and there are also short stories by Mrs.
Cunningham Orahame, Marlon Hepworth
Dixon. Evelyn Sharp, Fronds Watt, R. V.
ttlslry, and other. Among the poets, Dr. Gar-
! noli contribute halt a doxen sonnet fiom the
Portuguese of Anthuro de Quontal, and Mr. W.
U. Yeats some verso tinged with Celtio mysti
cism and obecurity. The art ot the magazine is
scarcely up to tho standard of ths earlier num
bers. MIsb Ethel Reed has one pretty and one
rather feeble drawing, and Mr. Charles Oonder's
two exsmples show many of the fault aud little
ot the strength of Mr. Besrdsley' work. Of the
rest the most notloeable Is the cover design by
Miss Mabel Byrett, which Is both graceful and
origlual.
Sir William Martin Conway, who, last year,
took command of an expedition to Spitsbergen,
now publishes a large illustrated volume en
titled "The First Crossing ot Spitsbergen. Bo
lng an account of an Inland Journey of ex
ploration and survey, with descriptions of
sovoral mountain ascents, of boat expedi
tions In Ice fjords, ot a voyage to North East
Lund, the Boven Islands, down Hlnloopen
Stialt, nearly to Wlches Land, and into most
of tho fjords ot Spitsbergen, and of an
almost coinploto circumnavigation of the Main
Island." (Imported by Scrlbners.) Tho party,
consisting vt tho author, Dr. J. W. Gregory of
the Urltluh Museum; Mr. Trevor-Uattye, to
ologlst) Mr. H. E. Conway, artist ot the expedi
tion, and Mr, E. J. Oarwoud, who acted a pho
tographer and axpert mountaineer, received a
handsomo subsidy from the Royal Geographical
Society and set forth with the object of thor
ougli'r exploring and surveying the interior of
Spitsbergen, which, up to 181)0, wo practically
unknown. Althouiih the group ha been visited
from time to time, since It discovery at the end
of the sixteenth century, by whalers, fishermen,
and Russian and Norwegian hunter, and ha at
different times in tho present century been made
a base for polar exploration, there hud been no
organlted attempt to study tho topography ot
the interior, though NordenskJOld and Robot
had each succeeded In crossing part of the
larger Island. The Conway expedition crossed
from Advent Bay to HJok Bay, from Klok Bay
to Sassen Bay, and from Sassen Bay to Agardh
Bay, on the oast coast, and back to Advent Bay,
making thirteen mountain asoents, almost cir
cumnavigating the main Island, and fringing
back a sketch surrey map of an area of about
000 square miles In the heart ot the middle
country, together with some six hundred photo
graphs and a number of geological and other
specimens. The present volume gives a de
tailed account at this Journey, which was ono In
volving considerable hardship anil offsrlng
little) Inducement to any but the most enthu
siastic scientist. It Is a record, for the most
part, of day of bard drudgery spent in wading
glacier streams and traversing miles ot bog and
morass, through country that waa almost uni
formly desolate and uninviting, with chill wind
blowing and a continuous drizzle soaking the
traveller to the skin. The Nansen sledges,
with which tho party was equipped, though
excellent for loo work, proved almost use
leas In the numoroui bogy and stony places,
and honoo the Journey wa accomplished only
with the most toilsome and almost dishearten
ing exertions, while the hoary fog interfered
seriously with the survey work. Hera Is the
author' account ot the present condition of
affair in Spitsbergen!
" Bleeps and cutters from rtammertest and Tromic

poses, and by their ruthless methods ot exter
mination rseruosd It to Its present almost lifeless con
dition. TJnf ortunatsly It continues to be a no-man's
land, annexed by no State, and governed by no laws.
Fisheries sue unregulated, there It no close time for
bird or beast, and so ths animal depopulation threat
ens to beoome complete. In tb Interests of selenoe
aad Industry alike It Is tlm Spitsbergen war an
nexed by some power capable ot regulating ths coun
try. The Norwegians art ths people upon whom tb
task should fall."
As a Norwegian company ha lately been
formed with the objeot of taking summer rial
tor to the country, thi animal depopulation I
likely to bo carried still further. The presont
volume deals only with the general narrative
and the topographical result of tho expedition;
tho solentlflo result will be published later on.
"Letters of Womon (Meyer Bros. & Co.) is
the title of a volume of soleotions translated
from the delightfully witty and cynical Ltttrta
de Frmmu ot M. Marcel Provost. Tho trans
lator' task ha been by no moon an
easy one, aa the author of Lta Demi
Vitrgt has a frank and cheerful way
ot putting things that girt him numberless
I awkward corner to get round, and necessitates
the frequent use ot the periphrasis and the
hiatus. In fact M. Prevost's translator must In
evitably be placed, from time to time, In the
metaphorical predicament of the man who must
either boldly desoond by the open stairway, or
put his boots undor his arm and climb down the
fire escape. Mr. Hornblow, by a judicious uso
of the fire escape here and there, credit
ably accomplishes bis task, and tho reader who
doe not care to go to the original, may. In thl
little volume, get some idea of the delicate
cynicism and psychological Insight ot one ot the
cleverest of the younger Frenchmen.
Miss Harriet Prescott Spofford's little volume,
"In Titian's Garden and Other Poems " (Cope-
land At Day), contain some dainty and musical
numbers, ot which "Trumpets tn Lohengrin,"
"The Pines," "The Violin," and the title poem
are all excellent example of her workmanship.
Theso line are from the "Trumpets in Lohen
grin": " nark! Tts the golden trumpets ot tb daws

From rosy reaches drawn.
And full ot sllvor rain.

It Is some tlm since wo hav met with a
mora amusing character than 1 "Pink Marsh"
(H. 8. Ston & Co.), or, to give him bis full title,
William Plnkney Marsh of Chicago. He la
only a colored bootblack, and ho talks In
a dialect that cannot alwaje be followed
without some effort; but, tn a series of
deftly written skotchea, Mr. Qeorga Ade
succeeds In building up the personality of the
boy till he stands out aa a delightfully fresh and
original type. Ills conversation with the
author, one of his regular morning customers,
are hill of humor and quaint philosophy, and his
lovo affairs with Mies Lo'eua Jackson, Miss
Jennlo Taylah, and some of tho other "wa'hm
babies" of "Deahbo'n at'eet" and the South
Side, and his deadly riolry with ol' Gaw'ge
Llpptncott are described In a way that Is
Inimitable. "Pink" Is not tho conventional
"coon" of the comic paper and the variety hall,
but a genuine flesh and blood type, presented
with a good deal of literary and artlstlo skill.
Borne of Mr. John T. MoOutcheon'a pen and Ink
sketches are excellent.
