LITERARY NOTES.

Mrs. Lee c. Harvey, a journalist
and novelist well known in the
South and in New York, contributes
a bright, gossipy article called In
the Old South State" to the January
New England Magazine. 1t deals
with the interesting old town Of
Georgetown, S. c., and its social
and historical traditions. 1t is finely
illustrated by 10. H. Hatfield and H..
Martin Beal.
The North American Review for
January is a notable number, con-
tanning contributions of exceptional
interest from distinguished writers
and covering a wide range OF timely
subjects.
The New England Magazine for
January begins the year 1893 very
promisingly 1t is particularly
varied number. The opening article
deals in attractive gossipy fashion
with the childhood and early life Of
Amelia B. Edwards, Psychologist
and novelist.
The piquant title of Mark Twain's
new sketch in the January Century,
"G1, 1000, 900 Bank-Note," is borne
out by the not less piquant motive
of the story, which is wager be-
tween two Londoners that man
with nothing but a &1,000,000
bank.note could not live thirty days
and keep out of Jail, The story re-
cords the unique adventures of the
man who tried the experiment.
