Among holiday books, "Stories of the
Cherokee Hills" by Maurice Thompson,
is one of the most charming. The stories
have appeared from time to time in the
Century, all save one, but readers viii
be glad to have them accessible in book
form. The binding is artistic. The
volume will serve a good purpose if it
shall make a larger public acquainted
with Mr.. Thompson's work, for it dis
tinctly deserves to he known. He writes
as intensively and with as fine .
handling of detail, delicate shading and
local color as Mr.. James Lane Allen,
and with humor almost rs droll as
Mr.. Frank X. Stockton. There are six
stories beside the Introductory Color
Line Jocunditics," among them being
"IIodson's Hide-Out," by which the au-
thor first attracted attention. Mr..
Thompson is a native of the Georgia
hills, where his scenes are laid. ana
there are some excellent specimens of
the cver-appetizing backwoods philoso-
pher in his pages. Dunk Roe, for in
stance. saws: "God Almighty air 'spon-
sihle fer the black on err niger an fer
the white on err white man. Hit amt
no disgrace fer er white man ter be er
white man, ner fer er Niger ter be cr
niger. Hit air when er niger tries ter
be white, an when or white man wras-
sles ter be er niger, AT the disgrace

pleasant prospect before the 'reve-
nooer": .sHit use ter be right fer every

1t should be said that these sentiments
are not those of fictitious personages,
but of real mountaineers whom Mr.
Thompson has met. There are some
negro melodies that are easily recog-
nizable as genuine.
Houghton, Miffln & CO.. Boston and
New York, are the publishers. There

A book that will find eager readers in
these expansive days is DIR. Conan

an absorbing topic, while the people who

"A Summer in Il Canyon" by Kate
Douglas Wiggin, is California story
for young people. Ii is doubtless very
good reading, for young people, though
it may be dropped as a passing obser-
walton that the LittleLord- Fauntleroy
business has been somewhat over-done
of late years, and it would perhaps be
as well to leave the young hopefuls alone
for spell with Robinson Crusoe and
the Red Indian, who used TO make
former generations of boys build boats
and drown themselves or scalp their
hapless young sisters. The Fauntleroy

In this connection it may be observed
that it is somewhat strange that no
laureate of the North Carolina noun
taineer has immortalized him as the
mountaineer of Georgia. Tennessee and
Virginia has been immOrtalized. For
that matter, why has North Carolina
so small place in the school of South
ern writer's, which has sprung up since
the war? To mention those who occur
to the memory first, Virginia has

has Mr. J. Gordon Coogler, but he has
won fame as a poet, and South Caro-
linians will doubtless not insist that his
muse is essentially local. Leaving Mr..
Coogler out, whom have we TO class with
the writers mentioned? 1t is hardly an
answer to say that North Carolina has
no writer of fiction because she is COM
monplace, for the writer and the COM
monplace are not strangers by any
means; and besides, there is quite as
much good raw material for the story
writer in this State as in any of the
others. Judge Albion w. TOurgee laid
the scene of his Bricks Without Straw
in this State, but he hardly used any Of
our material. Ashevile has been made
the scene of a novel, | forget the name
of the book and the woman who wrote
it, but in any case there was no flavor
of the soil about it, Then there are a
few other writer's who have lived and
written in this State. or have been born
here and gone elsewhere to write about
other things. And North Carolina
virgin soil still waits for the tardy pen.
Her mountain folk are as interesting as
Georgia's or Tennessee's. She has In
dians, Negroes. Dutch, Scotch-Irish,
English-characte rs in plenty, but they
are mostly dying unsung. Maybe it IS
only lack of confidence, and by and by
when some one more bold than the rest

PROVISIONS FOR HAVANA.
The Seneca Scheduled to Sail To-
Day With a large Cargo.

NEW YORK, April 20-The New
York ard Cuba line steamer Seneca is
scheduled to sail from this port to-
day for Havana The pier at which the
Seneca lies was crowded yesterday
with trucks that were discharging
their freight into the steamers hold.
Most of the cargo consists of provis-
sons of various sorts, -four ham and
Goldfish being loaded in large quanti-
ties.
1t is said the Seneca would certainly
sail unless war was declared before
her sailing hour. The agent has re-
ceived no orders or instructions from
Washington regarding the sailing of
the ship. When asked if the provisions
sent on the steamship of the line did
not ultimately reach the Spanish, the
agent said that there was little doubt
much Of it did go to the Spanish army
from the consigneeS in Havana He
said, however, that the provisions We're
sent by firms that had for years sent
such cargOes to Havana, and that the
managers of the line could not take into
consideration the ultimate destination
of the provisions. AS common carriers
they were obliged to receive them. The
Seneca will carry no passengers.
