TIC the Editor of the Dispatch:
A few days ago I read In the Dispatch

entire crew"
Such is history. The fact Is the Ara

what Is Good Nausice

1t would be interesting and perhaps
amusing to read the various answers to
this question from given large number
of persons to whom it might be put. An
answer is essayed in What Is Good
Muster" (Charles Scribner's Sons) by W.
j. Henderson. In answering the question
the author gives interesting suggestions to
persons desiring to cultivate a taste in
musical art. He holds that no rules can be
laid down for recognizing the exceli~"0e Of
musical idea. An untaught persol eu-
couraged by the admission of the or
that There is no mystery about SIC
that may not be understood by the err
age man. an admission, by the way. that
many musical experts would deny The au-
thor holds that the average uninstructed
listener is by no means tone-deaf; that he
gets great enjoyment from the opera and
even from some symphonies and other
high-class compositions, but most of the
things which the instructed musician
prizes are WEAKNESS to him. The author
thinks this ought not to be, and attempts
with q good deal of point to tell why it
should NOT be- On these lines the author
who is evidently master of the subject dis
cusses its various phases in a way calcu-
lated to interest lovers of music who are
untaught in the science or art of music, as
well as those who are instructed.

From the Macmillan Company comes a
volume OF stories by George Cary Eggles-
ton of life in the Confederate army. These
stories are not history, they do not describe
battles or army movements save incident
ally in the development Of the narratives;
there is in them but little expression of po-
litical sentiment or Of sympathy with the
South; they are simply bits of soldier ex-
periences in camp, on picket or scouting
duty behind breastworks on the march or
in assault upon the enemy told as one sol
dier might tell them 10 another long after,
when all the bitterness OF the conflict was
over. Odd characters are described, incl
dents dramatic, tragic and humorous are
related and scenes portrayed that would
naturally fix themselves most firmly in the
memory of one who made a part of them.
Incidentally they throw light on priva-
tons endured by the Southern army and
the true American courage with which they
were endured They convey an impression
of truth and genuineness save in one or
two instances. The sketch "Twenty-one, =
for example. is not good felton, and as fact
is too great O. tax on credulity. There are
some incidents that reflect discredit and
even shame on Union soldiers, as in the act
OF vandalism described in Two Incidents. :"
and there are satirical illusions to the flight
OF the panlc-stricken Union troops from
