The Blind Pianist.

Yesterday in Saal Bechstein the
blind pianist, Edward Baxter Perry,
OF Boston, appeared for the first time,
and, contrary to many of his COL
leagues who have likewise lost their
sight, astonished his hearers by his
remarkable accuracy and technical
resources. His tone, as at once evinc.
ed by the very first number, is of e1-
traordinary softness. -. :. Besides a
series of compositions by List, Beeth-
oven, Rubinstein, Chopin and Saint
Sanes, the artist played two compo-
sitions of. his own, OF which the latter,
fantaisie entitled Lost Island, de.
mands special attention. It treats OF
the tragic destruction of an island in
the Cult of Mexico, which was sur
prised at midnight by terrific hur.
ricane and tidal wave, and the sum-
mer guests, Assem- bled in the midst OF
a brilliant ball, were swept into the
Gulf to find their death in the waves,
a subject which, on account of its
striking contrasts, is admirably fitted
for the interesting and dramatic
treatment it received. Lokal-

Eduous labor and heavy sacrifices that the
Baptists have occupied the country ,r 60
large measure. But with the excen-
tion OF John r. Logans history Of the
| Kings Mountain Association, no one has
attempted to tell the thrilling story until
Major Graham took the work in hand
He is well qualified for il, being a
graduate of our State University in tic
palmiest days; being also man of lit
erary tastes and turn of mind, with con-
siderable talents for historical investiga
ton. He is also familiar with the ground
OF which he speaks. His ancestors
marched or fought over most of it during
the revolution, and he himself now owns
, the plantation on which his grandfather
the old revolutionary hero, closed his
earthly career. The preparation of this
book has been a labor of love with Ma
jor Graham, and he has done his work
we'll Few Baptists can read it without
having their pulses quickened and their
faith and courage strengthened.
On one point I beg leave to differ with
Major Graham. He thinks the first Ban
fist settlers in that region came from
Charleston, though he admits that there
is no evidence to that effect The Bap-
lists of Charleston were never a mis-
sionary body. They were profoundly in
terested in education, and after the Par
tculars had triumphed over the Gener-
ais in the lawsuit about church proper
ty they were also very earnest in their
efforts to have the Philadelphia Associa-
tion send missionary or missionaries
into North Carolina to convert the Cen
eral Baptists, who were already on the
ground from the error Of their WAYS,
These General Baptists were at Jersey
on the Yadkin as early as 1853 or posi-
bly, earlier, and it was to this body that
John GanO and Vanhorn and Miller first
came when they were sent out by the
Philadelphia Association. The settle
ments of the West, like those of the
East, were first occupied by the General
Raptists. When they came cannot
now be definitely known. Some of them
came from Pennsylvania. Virginia and
Maryland; others coming from the East
ascending the Roanoke, the Tar river
the Neuse and the Cape Fear to their
head waters and then settled near or
moved farther westwards towards the
mountains 1t is certain that in what
was afterwards the Sandy Creek Associa-
tion these General Baptists were al
ready settled before the coming of
Stearns and Marshall. Ledbetter
II other-i law Of Marshall, had been in
that region and passed on to Lynchs
Creek in South Carolina, about twenty
miles from Monroe. He afterwards re-
turned to join Stearns and Marshall,
and spent the remainder of his life in
North Carolina. SO far as the evidence
goes, South Carolina contributed few, il
any, Baptist settlers in the region OF
which Major Grahams book treats.
beg heartily to commend his work 1t is
most interesting and instructive VOL
ume, and should rejoice to hear that it
has reached a large circulation.

(From the May Century,

Readin', me fri'nd, is talked about be

on'y thing that maks a man betther
thin his neighbors. But tn truth is that
readin is tn mex thing this side iv goin
to bed FIR restin' tn mind. With mos
people it takes tn place iv wurruk. A
man doesn't think whin he s readin' or
if he has to, tn book is no fun. Did We
liver have something to do that ye ought
to do, but didn't want to, an while ye
was wishin' we was dead, did we happen

Santos umont has written q book, or
will have one completed by next fall. 1t
would have been a surprising fact if he
had not. No man does anything out of
the ordinary in these days of great and
fearful deeds without putting his eXper-
fences down on paper, for which accounts
the publishers are willing to pay large
sums. Marconi has practically completed
his story of Wireless Telegraphy; Santos
Dumont will tell the story of his air
ships; Baldwin. when he returns from his
search for the North Pole, will also have
volume for the reading public. 1t is a
good tendency after all, for these books
doubtless serve as more or less accurate
guides Of what has been done along SEN
sational lines of achievement up to date.

LITERARY NOTES FROM THE CEN

Henry Loomis Nelson, whose long
residence in Washington as a newspaper
correspondent aud as student of affairs
en,ns him to speak with authority, will

entitled 1.-The Capital of Our Democracy. "
dealing with social life in Washington.
Mr. Nelson describes the various kinds
of society in the capital and the effect
they have upon the family of the newly
arrived Congressman. Contrasts are
drawn between Washington and other
cities, and the White House receptions,
the hotel life, and other features come
in for attention. The article will be
fully illustrated with numerous types by

phia artist whose work has recently at

THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS. BY THOMAS
DIXON, JR.

(Review by r. Z. Vann, d. D., in Bibli-
cal Recorder.)
No novel that has appeared within the
last half century has produced more sem
sation than the Leopard's spots is likely
to produce. Had it appeared thirty years
ago when the scenes with which it opens
were still enacting, it would have kindled
dangerous fires in the North and in the
South. And it may be questioned
whether either section is yet quite pre-
pared for it's advent. To the North it
will bring a shocking revelation, and in
the South it will raise the ghost of half
forgotten horrors
The critic will find some slips in gram
mar and style, minor blemishes, which
will doubtless occur to the author on a
careful re-reading. One also feels that
Charlie CASTOR, however precocious, is
quite too young for the achievements at
tributed to him in the early chapters.
And from an artistic standpoint, most
people will doubtless feel that differ
ent fate should have been assigned to
honest old Tom Camp.
In the first of the book one seems TO
