Mayor by Large Majority.
New Orleans. April 21.-The Citizens
league elect their candidate for mayor
by upwards of 10000 majority over Con-
gresham Charles F. Buck. They also
elect their entire city and councilmanic
ticket.
The negro vote went almost sOlidly
for the Citizens league. The combina-
ton Of Citizens leaguers and Repub-
licans was engineered to success by
the political skill Of Ex-Governor H. G..
Yarmouth.
The vote for Governor Foster and
Phars, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, Is close, but Foster will probably
have 1000 majority. The Democrats
will carry the state by q good majority
and control the legislature. The re-
turns are coming in slowly as many of
the parishes have no telegraphic COM
municatiOn. No trouble has been re-
ported from any country point. even
st. Laundry having a peaceable elec-
tion, contrary to expectation. The elec-
ton passed off peaceably in the city.

I2 News Up and Down the Valley.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-05-24

The crisp, invigorating days of winter have passed. The languid, sultry days are now upon us, bringing as their bane- full heritage ennui and other kindred feelings so opposed to exertion of any kind.
 Now it is that those inclined to liter ature turn aside from the deep, thought full works with which they have been oc- cupied to lighter, breezier reading matter, seeking in fiction that solace from tedI- ous, oppressive days which an entertain ing book can well supply. The monoto- nous and weighty subjects of the literary clubs are by this time thoroughly stud jed, absorbed and laid aside as finished i; then for recreation fiction is sought and enjoyed. For a leisurely happy time nothing can be more suggestive than a hammock and a good book, and such a sparkling little story is An Engage ment," by Sir Robert Peel, one of the most successful of young English au- thors.
 It t"k kes no more effort for it's perusal than one is inclined to devote to it, while the story is so quaint and original that it holds the readers attention, and, what is more, his interest from first to last. There are but three or four characters in the book, but the author makes up for any apparent lack in numbers by the distinctness and cleVerness of those he portrays. They are real, breathing men and women. In a manner that is simple, yet lucid and flowing, the author tells his story; how young Arnold Hopetown, to win sweetheart, plays at love with a cousin, until he eXclaims, What au- dacity, what presumption to have im- agined I could play a being in love with you with impunity. Kit! I deserved a lessonr' And then the story was told fOrninQr a 0plipbtfnl love tale, which older as well as more youthful readers may well enjoy. (Stokes & Co)
 The literary activity of W. D. Howells is remarkable. He has just finished his short novel, "The Day of Their We'd ding" and will soon begin the publica- tion of several other stories. ''The Day of Their Wedding was recently reviewed ill Harper's Weekly by MT. Lawrence Hutton, and, by a typographical error, so the story goes, he was made to speak of the community of Shakers at Lebanon as "Quakers." Soon after the appear ance of the review he received very vio- lent letter from an unknown person, con- fessedly a Quaker, accusing him of ''gross and lamentable ignorance" to which MT. Hutton sat down and wrote the following reply:
 "The error, not an unnatural one from the similarity of the words, was made by the printer and unfortunately, not discovered until too late The writer of the article in question is perfectly famil- jar with the great difference between the Quakers and the Shakers. He knows them both and he respects them both, and never, but once in all his long and intimate association with them has he found a member of the Society of Friends guilty of marked discourtesy in written words to an entire stranger. The com
 
 as the Shaking Quakers,' and they are still so defined in the Century Dictiona- ry." "There was no response" a face- tious critic remarks.

work in Tom Grogan," and it is safe to predict that this will be considered his masterpiece.
 "A Rogue's Daughter" written by Ade- line Sergeant is a story of London life, the recital of disgrace and odium that clung to the name and character of two young people, Della and Dick, son and daughter of Julius Vansittart banker. In the opening pages this supposedly wealthy banker Is leaving London se- cretly under a cloud of infamy and dis graced as an embezzler The youthful son and daughter, with a commendable spirit of earnestness, immediately seek to support themselves by their own ef- forts, and, thinking it for the best. leave off the opprobrious title of "Vansittart" and assume their mothers name of Nor rison. In the opening scenes, where wealth and affiuence is supposed to have prevailed, Dick is depicted as trifiing fellow, who is accustomed to appeal to his sister to relieve him in his financial endorsements, and on this occasion confesses to a large amount of gambling Indebtedness, for which he must find in- stant relief. It is rare indeed to find ones propensities and dispositions change so effectually as Dick seems to have done, for in the next few pages we find him possessed of nobility of sentiment and honor which is hardly compatible with our acceptance of him as a gambler However. the change, though it may have been sudden and revolutionary, was at all events honest and true, for through out the entire story he evinces con stant and unalterable purity and integ- rity of purpose and life.
 Tho first half of the story is poorly WI en and conceived. The plot is a paltry pretext and palpably thin. After about the middle of the story, however, the author takes firmer. surer hold upon her work and her characters and consequently writes in a more persuasive, truthful way, succeeding to an eminent degree in making the reader sympathlze and condole with Della and Dick in their many discomforts and vexations. Like the average tale of fiction the ending Is conventional and satisfactory. Those
