DIR. Thoman has been suffering for q
year past with painful growth on the
left side Of the forehead, which has
been constantly increasing in size. He
has had 1t opened frequently, removing
an albuminous or gelatinous fluid, but
with no relief. The doctor consulted
many eminent men of the profession
from out of the city, none giving him
any satisfaction. A few days ago he
came to the conclusion to know what
the growth was, so repaired to the office
of Drs. Bland & Duncan, requesting
them to operate and ascertain the ma
ture and extent of the trouble. A large
incision was made and the growth ex-
plored with instruments. The exami-
nation revealed an exostosis or bony
growth, with carious or ulcerating
surface. The surface was scraped and
chiseled and a portion OF the dead bone
removed, then thoroughly cleansed
with antiseptics. The doctors as well
as hosts Of friends will anxiously await
the outcome of the operation. The op-

. GROUP OF FAIR NOVELISTS.
BY MYRA L. SAW YER.

There is a narrow belt of hill and river
country in Northeastern Massachusetts,
including Concord and AndoVer which
has been the cradle Of much good and
great American literature. AndOver,
the little seminary town, with its
theological and female seminaries and
It's Phillips Academy, seems not
only to disseminate learning, but to
foster the genius of production
in literature. For there Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe wrote her "Uncle Toms
Cabin" while her husband, Prof. Stowe,
instructed the theological students In the
.mbryosities OF divinity. Though Mrs.
stowe has now removed her household
goods from AndoYer to that sunny plan
tation in Florida, where she can bask in
the gratItQde of the emancipated slave,
the people of Andover still point out low
lngly the landmarks Of her New England
stories, and one can easily recognize
about the village stores and post office
the Yankee figures that have appeared in
"Old Town Folks" Up under the brow
Of a beautiful hill is Mrs. Stoves log
cabin, built in memory OF Uncle Toms,
but in a style to suit the rigorous require
ments OF a New England climate. Of a
younger generation, the daughter and not

Miss Howard is the daughter OF d. NJ.
Howard, a prominent business man Of
Bangor, Me-. To those who knew her
from childhood, she always showed tina
strength of purpose and wealth of Ian
guage which ave been among the secrets
OF her literary success, Yet, except as
the home of her youth, Bangor can hardly
lay claim to having inspired either some
Summer" or any Of those novels which
have since added SO much fame to her
name. Wiscasset had also much influ-
ence upon Aunt Serena" though bnt a
portion OF the manuscript was written
there, the bulk of the material being OBJ
tanned and nodded in Stuttgart.
A new and hitherto %unheard-Of writer,
who meets as much success as Miss How
ard by her first novel, can hardly fail to
excite curiosity and interest, and she was
the subject of more fictions that even her
versatile pen could devise in a score of
! years. Not the slightest economy was
used in the description other appearance,
the details of her life and the circum-
stances under which her book was writ
ten. She was now said to be a ~precociOus
schoolgirl, now a fair young widow, now
a sour old maid, now a bright society
belle. AS a fact Miss Howard is a hand
some woman, we should say in the neigh
borhOod of 80. Though we claim her as
d literary representative OF Maine. bQe
has been since 1876 a resident of Stutt-
CART, Wurtemburg, returning to her ma
tive shores only periodically to present
her favored publishers with some new
work of her hands. The beautiful Amer
lean authoress is a ~well-knOwn figure In
the promenade and in the park at SUIT
CART, often surrounded by a beVy of fair
young ~cOmpatriOts who have been in
trusted to her charge. Among these a
few years since might have been seen the
young daughters of Lawrence Barrett,
one of whom has since become a resident
of Stuttgart as a German baroness. Miss
Howard's life abroad has given to her Ia
ter books a character foreign to Zone
Summer" and also free from the interna-
tiOnal spirit OF criticism which one finds
in Henry James.
The charm of "Guenn" is that which
one finds in a beautiful French painting
by Millet, who loved the peasants of Brit
tany so well.
Miss Howard is a conscientious and in
detatigable worker in her craft, and the
materials for ''Guenn" we're gathered in
a summers sojourn among the French
peasants she has so faithfully portrayed.
Last winter she was urged to dramatic
"Guenn," and although then deep in 'Au-
bray Torres" which was to be publish
ed in the summer, she applied herself
to that work; and we may expect soon
to see that spirited novel in action on the
stage.

Her path wasn't always smoota or
spread with l~aurels, and even Little
Women met with rebutfs II criticism
from publishers who later regretted its re-
lection.
If Massachusetts srich in contributions
to current literature, Maine, too, has her
fair representatives in the field, and Miss
Jewett's materials for her charming sto-
ries, "~Deephaven," and "A Country Doc
tor,"weTe all about her home in NOrrig-
walk. Miss Blanche Willis Howard,
too, whose first novel, Zone Summer"
was n OF the phenomenal literary sue
cesses in 1873, is a daughter Of Maine, and
the bright little summer story found its
scene on the shores of Maine, in the quaint
attractive old town OF Wiscasset.
Those who are familiar with the pretty
bits OF description in Zone summer can
hardly fail to recognize s'Phe Elms"
where the story was laid, as the home Of
Miss HOward's sisters.

these two habits she a conquer all OBJ

tennis playing are her forms OfeXercise,
practiced Enthusiastically. When work.
ing "On time" upon a manuscript she al
lows herself very little rest, though she
oblIges herself TO take a mOdicum OF daily
exercise in one Of these forms.
She is the favored friend OF the family Of
the poet Freiligrath, aud in conjunction
with Nine. Freiligrath's sister, the friend
OF Goethe, she has carried on the Eclectic
