That the reader may know the full
scope of Mrs. Fields book we give here
with the contents:
Longfellow, 1807-1SS2.
Glmpses Of Emerson, Oliver Wen
dell Holmes; personal recollections and
unpub ished letters.
Days with Mrs Stowe, Celia Thaxter,
whittier; notes of his life, etc.
Tennyson; Lady Tennyson.
The widow of James T. Fields, the old
Boston publisher. who had a wider
knowledge of books and authors than
any other man OF his time, ought to be
able to do just what Mrs. Fields has
done here especially since she is woman
of rare literary tastes and has always
been honored with hosts of literary
friendships, In these pages we have the
most delicious insight into the every
day thoughts and habits of some of the
great lights of New England literature,
in the way of unpublished letters and
personal memoirs now drawn upon for
the first time.
Especially delightful reading are ex-
tracts from DIR. Holmes letters to the

DURHAM AND NORTHERN WINS.

The suit that was on trial for the
most of last week ended with a
verdict in favor of the railroad. The
suit was for $4,000 damages. J. +.
Stanley was killed by the Durham and
Northern road on the night of Deem
Der the 4th, 1895. I'm the interest of
his wife and little boy, suit was
brought and it is ended
Whether the whistle footed ut the
proper time and whether the bell was
ringing as the engine rolled down the
road when poor John Stanley lost his
life, are questions to be settled in
eternity. There were witnesses that
swore on both sides, and those who
swOre to the truth know it, and the
perjurers know it. Unfortunate that
such a wide difference should occur be-
tween men on oath
The Lord knows.

New YORK, May ga stir has
been created among the wholesale
tobacco trade OF the city by the
order of the Spanish authorities
prohibiting the expectation of leaf
tobacco from Cuba to the United
States. Dealers aver that the out
look is serious, especially so in
view of the fact the insurgents are
likely at any moment to destroy
the Cuban crop entirely.
A movement is reported today as
on foot to introduce bill in con-
gress in few days, unless Secre-
tary Olney's protest is considered,
which is to put a prohibitive duty
Of $40 on cigars and all manufac-
tured tobacco that Cuba ships to
the United States. 1t is believed
the close of the factories in Havana
would cut off large part of Wey-
ler's revenue.
1t is reported today that the to-
bacco manufacturers OF Havana
are alarmed and have stopped pro-
duction, some starting for Europe
or this country. The condition is
causing considerable agitation here
and a number of houses have in
structed their statesmen to sell only
to the best customers.
A scarcity of the best grades Of
tobacco is anticipated. Several
manufacturers are holding all
goods for marked advances in
prices. The prospects for a.much
larger demand for domestic stocks
are regareed as excellent.
