NEW PUBLICATIONS..

tour new possessions are beginning
to furnish fresh fields TO our authors.
Ip 1894, Alexander Stevenson Twombly
spent some months in the Hawaiian
Islands, holding a responsible position
at Honolulu, and through his personal
connection with the leading men there,
found access to much valuable material
relating to the ancient as we'll as the
later affairs. of the islanders. Since
then he has published concise history
of Hawaii and Its People;" but
while Investigating the more prosaic
records he was intensely interested in
the FOLKLORE, legends, and songs Of the
islands. From among these he has
woven stirring romance, in which his
careful accuracy as to customs and
characteristics gives point to the pio-
turesque scenes of his story. He calls
it "Kelea the Surf Rider; A Romance
of Pagan Hawaii" Kings aud chiefs,
youths and msidens, warriors and peo-
pie, in all the human turmoil of poll
tics, war, love, jealousy, hatred,
athletic spot Is, duels, battles and feasts
together with the growing distrust OF
their pagan deities, which at last over
threw their chief superstitions and pre-
pared them for the coming OF Chris
tianity and civilization enlIven the
pages with exciting incident while the
beginnings Of noble sentiment.restrain
ing tho natural savage instincts, are
skilfully portrayed. The book aims to
depict the highest point reached by the
Hawaiians under pagan influences. 1t

ington Turner, a young farmer, who re.
sided Fear Admission, this morning,
boarded the Southern railway train at
that place bound for McFall, II miles
away, where he was reared. With him
were his wife and baby. They had
never ridden on a railroad train before
and, as the cars sped along at fast rate
of speed, they watched anxiously for
their destination.
Half mile from MoFall, the whistle
blew; and, recognizing their wherea-
bouts, Turner and his wife hurriedly
left their seats and, proceeding to the
platform Of the coach, made Q leap for
the ground, the wife clutchipg her baby
in her arms. As the train had not
