Literary Gossip.

NEW YORK Attics and House-tOps''
is the odd title of an article by William
H. Riieing, in the April ScriJner.
"a FAIR BARBARIAN" the very
clever novelette,, by Mrs Frances II.
Burnett, is concluded in the April
number of Scribner's Monthly. 1t will
be followed by novelette, by George
W. Cable, entitled Madame Del
phine.
MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS" is the
subject Of the second of Mrs. Oliphant's
stories of English queens in st. Nicho-
las. 1t will be begun in April and run
through two numbers, and will rival in
interest the article on Lady Jane Grey,
so charmingly told in the March issue.
TOMGREENsLI TT, editor of the Web
ster, Mass, Times, will issue an extra
edition Of that paper on OF about April
1st. The paragraphers have all been
engaged to contribute something, and
Toms paper will doubtless sparkle like
the eyes of a Massachusetts school
marin.
MARK TWAIN, who can boast pop
ularity such as has fallen to the lot of
few authors, and whose books have an
immense sale both in this country and
England, will hereafter publish through
Messrs. Osgood & Co., Of Boston.
Mark has several new books under way,
one of which, 2 ''Mark Twain's Hand
book Of Etiquette, will soon appear.
"a FAIR BARBARIAN, Mrs. Fran
ces Hodgson Burnett's most popular
novel, the publication of which was
completed in the April Scribner, has
just been issued in a neat and handy
volume, by MesSrs. Osgood & Co., Of
Boston. The heroine of this charming
story is young American lady who
has lived in Nevada, and who comes
upon an English country town, with
the suggestive name of ''Slowbridge, !"
to astonish its inhabitants by an indi-
viduality Of character wholly unique.
The ''Fair Barbarian" is an interesting
and original creation. Thoroughly
American and entirely unconventional
in her ideas, when tried by English
standards, she confounds and amazes
the rigid devotees Of propriety with
whom she comes in contact in the
sleepy English village Of 'Slowbridge. "
All look upon her with mingled curl
osity and wonder. She absolutely hor-
rifles the arrogant and angular ''head'
of SloWbridge society-Lady Theobald
and the raciness of the scenes that
attend the meetings Of these. parties is
indescribable. The volume is tastefHlly
bound in cloth. The price is one dol
lar.

a sale Col. McComb agreeing to de-
liver to the Baltimore and Ohio, within
sixty days, 4,500 shares of Delaware
Western stock. to be used in the con-
struction of a road to Philadelphia.
Col. McComb says that the sale is an
absolute one, and made with the dis
tinct understanding that the new line

THE SOCIALISTS Of Chicago have
adopted resolutions approving the as
sassination Of the late Gar, on the
ground that he was "a boulder standing
III the way of human liberty, and the
only means Of getting him out of the
way was by blasting him out" That's
the way the Socialists put it, and per-
haps it is all right. But in course of
time it may be resolved in this country
that Socialists. Nihilists, or assassins,
are boulderS in the way Of human life
and progress, and that the only means
Of getting them out Of the way will be
to hang them out. AS long as these
