James Payn's Advice to Young Writers.


The placing the scene of a story in foreign
land is always disadvantageous. 1t may be
mere ignorance which causes untraveled read
ers to prefer stories of their own land but such
is the fact. They feel the same want of reality
in stories of foreign countries as in fairy tale.
All editors know this and look askance at such
productions. This is still more true of the his
torlcal story. Mr. Blackmore, il Is true. has

From the Boston Courier.

KENTUcKIAN ASPECTS OF THE ABSORBING eUEs-

From Harper's Magazine.
There are many distiileries in this part of the
country and great deal Of whisky Is made. I
am not defending whisky, at least any that is
less than thirty years old and has attained
medicinal quality. But want TO express nv
opinion that this as temperate as any region in
the United States. There is q widespread strict
Temperance sentiment and even prohibition
prevails TO a considerable degree. Whisky Is
made and stored and mostly shipped away;
rightly or wrongly il is regarded az a legiti-
mate business, like wheat raising. and il con-
Quoted by honorable men. believe this II a
truth and that drunkenness does not prevail
in the neighborhood of the distilleries nor did
/ see anywhere in the country evidence
of a habit of dram drinking, Of the
traditional matter OF course offering of whisky
as hospitality. Ii is true that mint grows
in Kentucky, and that there are persons who
would win the respect Of q Underwater Virginian
in the connection of jnlep. And no doubt
in the mind Of the born kentuckian there il q
rooted belief that, il person needed q stimu-
liant, the best he can take Ia old handmade
whisky. Where the manufacture of whisky is
the source of SO much revenue and is carried
on with decorum, Of course the public senti-
ment about il differs from that of . community
that makes its money in raising potatoes for
starch. Where the horse is 30 beautiful, feet
and profitable, Of course there il intense inter-
est in him, and the general public take q lively
pleasure in the races; but IL the reader has
been accustomed TO associate this part Of Ken
lucky with horse-racing and drinking as prom
inent characteristics he must reverse hs
