LITERARY NOTES


 Of the eight unusual stories in the October number of Leslie's Monthly, five are fiction, and three sketches cf real events in the careers of men whose lives are far more remarkable than of any fictitious people. The story of Harry Tracy, the latest of the western bad men, is vividly told and makes a tale almost unbelievable if it were nos undoubtedly true. The career of w. s. Devery, one of the most extraordinary political figures of the time among the lower oruer of politicians and one whose recent campaign for the leader ship of a notorious district of New York has brought him prominently before the public, and the record of the hero of "The Autobiography of q Thief" These three human stories are some of the most striking tales that have been acted in the world or told for many a day. The fiction of the number includes a tale of a circus man, two society stories and the very anus ing confession of a book agent, il which there is more truth than fiction
