THE AMERICAN HEROINE.

Certain responsibilities belong to the
novelist and are inseparable from his art.
La whatever time, land or class he places
his scenes, he is bound to be true to the
conditions which appertain to that time,
land or social order. Ali the great imagi-
native writers have recognized this neces.
sity.- When Thackeray conceived "The
Virgioians,' he devoted two years to the
study of American colonial history before
he began to write, and not the most prosaic
record of this period is more absolutely &C.
curate in every minute detail than this
charming story. No medieval chronicler
Is safrr guido 70 a knowledge Of the dawn
OF the Lnsusu nation, the grace and terror
OF feudalism, the decline of serfdom, the
pathetic ruin of chivalry, than Sir Walter
Scott in the Waverly Novels.
Fidelity of this kind is scarcely less in
cumbent upon the novelist than upon this
historian. When be disregards it we COM
plain, and not unreasouably, that he is false
to his office If he deals with the scenes
Of his own time 1t is all the more imperative
that neither wilfulness, nor carelessness MOI
Ignorance shall mar the truth of the pic

Tried by this test what shall we say Of

them at least-Mr. Howells and Mr.. II
James, Jr.-have delicate insight, fine

Sickness in various forms is prevalent

Sickness in various forms is prevalent
here.
Harry, a six year old son Of Jesse
Treat, lies in a critical condition caused by
a swelling in the throat, resembling bag
or sack. This substance has been sometime
growing in the throat and has affected the
child's speech, giving the articulation a
hoarse gurgling sound. 1t has now become
intamed and enlarged. probabl, BY cold
aud respiration causes 1t to suck down over
The opening of the windpipe, thus stopping
the breath entirely for many seconds. Dur
ing the day. Sunday, fits of sirangulation
were quite frequent. The last and worst
o. urred about one O'Clock Sunday night.
The child's face grew black, ibis teeth set
and his limbs stitfened His father raised
HIM in his arms and the little fellow strug-
gled fearfulIy five minutes, clinchlng his
fathers hand in a death-like grasp, when,
apparently. the sack burst, as he caught his
breath and breathed quite easily, although
there was no discharge from the mouth.
Otherwise the child Is perfectly well and
strong and appears as bright as usual when
these fits have passed off. He has been
twice taken to the Massachusetts, General
Hospital but received no permanent benefit
as the sack cannot be successfully removed.
The physicians say that like case has never
come under their treatment.
