"Knights In Fustian."

knights in Fustian," by Caroline Brown
Houghton Miffiin & Co., Boston and
New York.
When story having few leading
historical incidents for it's basis over
rides truth to attack persons 1t destroys
the readers kindly feelings for a story
we'll told. Had the author been content
to confine her characters and their ac-
tons to the state of Indiana during those
troublesome times, from 1901 to 1865, in
stead of enormously stating that Jeffer-
son Davis personally advocated or con-
doned murder and arson In the boarder
states by those who were living in peace
in the rural districts, this story of local
happenings would have not only lasting
value to the Hoosier populace, but would
be read with pleasure by every student
of rural life, for the raIe is told in
charming manner, the rustic descriptions
eaualing passages of Opie Reeds nov
els.
The knights In Fstian, or the Knights
of the Golden Circle, as they were geli-
orally called, were the familiar copper
heads known throughout the North dur
ing the Civil war. They were despised
by their neighbors and were not respected
by the South. While it is true they were
melted to many overt acts Of treason
against the United States, they were for
the most part dupes of a few unprinci-
pied agitators. whose bravery or jealous
ness for the Southern cause were never
tested by the dangers of a battlefield. A
traitor Is the most execrable creature on
earth, and Gov. Morton, the war gov
ernor of Indiana, was too soft hearted in
pleading for federal executive clemency
for such Of these leaders as fell into his
hands and were tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to death for treason.

Dana Tempest" by Miss Mary ChoI-
mondeley. D. Appleton & Co., New
York.
A new edition of Diana Tempest" has
been gotten out with portrait and brief
biography of Miss Cholmondeley While
this was Miss Cholmondeley's third book,
none of them written before or since give
stronger evidence of her genius or ability.
Her descriptions of people and events are
simply charming, and her knowledge Of
human nature, as represented in the
characters she creates, is remarkable. II
is said that Miss Cholmondeley had two
sisters, who were wideawake girls and
who from the time she began to write
were her ever-ready and ablest critics.
She had made it a rule In her writings
to describe only what she had seen. but
her i'll health prevented her attendance
upon many public affairs she wished to
describe, and she therefore became de-
pendent upon the keen observation and
sense of the ridiculous possessed by her
sisters for some Of her most enjoyable
chapters.
Miss Cholmondeley has an interesting
pedigree. She is the eldest daughter,
says the London Bookman, of the Rev.
R. H Cholmondeley, until recently and
for many years rector of Hodnet. and
formerly OF Condover Hall, Shropshire.
"Her mother was Emily Beaumont, sis
ter Of II. R. Beaumont, Esq. OF Whitley
Beaumont. Yorkshire, and her grand
mother was Mary Heber, sister of Bishop
Heber, the well known hymn writer. This
branch of the Cholmondeley family,
which separated from the Marquis OF
Cholmondeley's family in the reign of
James I, is directly descended from the
CholmondeIeys of Vale Royal Miss
Cholmondeley's ancestress and name
sake, Mary Cholmondeley, called by
James I ''the Bold Lady OF Cheshire"
was heiress Of Vale Royal. and left 1t to
her third son, Thomas Cholmondeley, an
cester of Lord Delamere. Miss Choimon-
deley's great grandfather. Charles Chol-
