The Skeleton OF De Soto.

The local historians of Baton Rouge,

Fernando De Soto lie buried between
two gigantic live oaks near the present
site of Port Hudson. The books tell diff.
ferent tales about the death and burial
Of the great discoverer. Some say that
he was wrapped in his mantle and
thrown into the Mississippi; others that
the remains were incased in a hollow
log. In 1853 three Enthusiastically,

A brilliant oonfedsrnts.

A prestidigitator, in the course Of an
exhibition in New York recently, had
one of the audience select one card from

paper to another spectator, a timid look

not see the card, announced that after it
had been returned to the pack the de-
scription of it would be found written
on the paper. The card was the eight Of
hearts. 1t was taken out by the profess

asked the professor. "That's all right, 4"

People who are susceptible to the cold
should make point of wearing loose
clothing in cold weather. Loose gar

A recent dispatch from Paris says;
At banquet OF the bi-metallic league
Premier Meline, the well-known pro-
tectionist leader, made speech In
which he said that he had always re-
gretted the remuneration by the Eu-
ropean powers of the monetary system
which assured their prosperity. The
long continued commercial crisis of
the present time, in reality, date from
the abandonment of that system. The
remedy, he insisted, was a return to
bimetallsm. The bimetallic move
ment, he continued, was spreading
rapidly throughout England, Belgium,
Germany and America. All that was
required to bring about monetary re-
forms was an electric spark which
was bound to appear from the very
force Of circumstances.

The San Francisco call., 1896-02-23

The next day the committee tried five or SIX
Spaniards. Two were sentenced to be whipped +;
the remainder TO leave the Bar that evening.
Harte's story introduces the act of BAN
ishment thus:
Poker Flat was experiencing spasm of vir-
tuous reaction quite as lawless as any of the
sets that had provoked II. A secret comml ttee
had determined to rid the town of all improper
persons. This was done permanently in re-
gard OF two men who were lett hanging from
the boughs of sycamore in the gulch, and
temporarily in the Punishment of certain
other Objectionable characters. l regret to
say that some of these were ladies. 1t is but
due to the sex, however. 10 state that their i'm
propriety was professional, and it was only in
such easily established standards of evil that
Poker Flat yentured 10 sit in judgment. =
A party of armed men accompanied the de-
ported wickedness of Poker Flat to the outskirts
OF the settlement. Two women went with him.
Their terrible ascent of the narrow trail,
with precipjce on one side and rocky
cliff one or two thousand feet on the
other, their detention by snow until food
was exhausted, the humanity and even
love exhibited by the gambler Oakhurst
toward the unhappy woman he was forced
to abandon to her fate, are all in Hartes
happiest vein. Yet even in this he is
somewhat of a copyist, if not plagiarist,
for everywhere in the letters of Shirley
the gentlest spirit is manifested toward
erring humanity. The charm it imparts
to her simple narrative becomes in the
hands of the fictionlst touch OF high
art-one which Harte was wise enough
always to maintain. The condolences |
have referred TO are certainly worthy of
remark.
Further OF Mrs. C.'s letters, I find this
suggestion ofJoaquin Murrietta, the hero
Of c. II. Mil.er's first literary venture,
whence he obtained his pen name of Joa-
quin Miller. Speaking of the men who
were condemned to be whipped at Rich
Bar, Shirley says:

genIiemanly young Spaniard, VINO implored
for death in the most moving terms. *

tion with it,. that flattery is, in itself, an
offense against politeness, and that it is of
tenest administered by persons who are
already suffering the intoxication of van

A YOUNG FRENCH AUTHOR.

Among the younger generation of con-
temporary French writer's of fiction, Mar
eel Provost is one Of the most successful
and interesting, although he is, perhaps,
the least known by the reading public,
particularly outside of his own country.
This seeming paradox IS explained by the
fact that NJ. Provost is entirely "new"
man, and that, with one exception, his
books have not been translated.
L have not been able to gather any bio
graphical data concerning this author,
writes Arthur Hornblow in the February
bookseller. The latest QS92) edition of
Vapereau's Dictionnaire des Contempo-
rains does not mention him, although this
contain biographical notice of every pub
lie man in France. 1t would seem, there
fore, that previous to 1892 M. Provost had
not attracted any attention as a writer.
l have heard vaguely that he was educated
to be an engineer. but preferred the pur-
suit of letters and made his literary debut
in the columns OF Paris newspaper.
His earlier books, "Le Scorpion and
"Chonchette," had no marked success,
although both volumes ran through several
editions. 1t was his third novel, 'Mlle.
Jaufre" 0890), that first entitled him to be
ranked among the makers of good litera-
ture and first acquainted the public and
the critics with his name.
The best book that Marcel Provost has
yet written is unquestionabIy LA Confes-
sion d 'un Amant" Lemerre, 1891. 1t has
not had with the public the remarkable
success that attended the publication OF
