After u careful perusal of this inter

it's wonderful merits. From the very
outset the readers attention is caught
and magniicd until the end brings an
unwilling relief, and long days after
fragments Of its fascination tlit ycarn-
ingly before mind'scyc, creating thirst
for further knowledge Of tie principal
characters. Its novelty and originality
alone cntitlc it to literary distinction,
while as a Southern production it merits
tho earnest consideration Of our people.

says: "Mrs. Bryan is one Of the finest
writers in this country. Her romance

San Francisco has developed 10 the line
OF rapid transit in a somewhat different
way from New York. They have steam
transit on their surface roads, but the
motive power is applied by underground
cables. which propel the street cars at a
rate of eight miles an hour, which is said
to be two miles faster than they can go By
horsepower. Six of the San Frarcisco
street railways are operated IN this way
and three By horse power. bat as it il
claimed the cable roads yield from SO IT,
go per cent. greater profit than the horse
roads, it will surprise no one to learn that
the latter are going to adopt the cable
systen in the spring. Chicago is about to
make trial of the system on small
scale, and it might not be out of place for
some of the st. Louis companies to look
into the matter.-Republ ican.
