forth in his merriment
Follows Wizards exhaustive account
of the campaigns of the war wherein
he acted as war correspondent for the
New York Herald and la.er the
Tribune. Engrossed in the fascinat-
ing recountal of the terrible succession
of momentous events which he wit
messed, Willard has expanded the rec
ord of his personal observation into
detailed accounts and comments upon
the more important campaigns drawn
from close study of the authorities
upon both sides. His first battle was
the disastrous affair of Bull Run, then
he became connected with the, army
of the West. His description of the
tremendous fighting at Shiloh is made
striking BY the assertion that Grant
was unpreDared for the blow of the
first days fighting. While it was no
doubt true" says Willard, that the
Union pickets were on the alert and
that their firing gave a short warn
ing TO the Federal camps of the ap-
proach of the enemy before the hostile
host was actually upon them. it is
likewise incontestable that neither
General Sherman, whose division held
the most advanced position, nor Cen
eral Grant had the remotest suspicion
that the whole rebel army was within
artillery range of the former. Wit
ness Sherman's report by field tele-
graph on that very Saturday afternoon
now. The enemy has cavalry in our
front, and / think there are two regi-
ments and one battery six miles out,
And still later in the day he reported
further: L do net apprehend any
thing like an attack upon our posi-
ton Witness. further. Grants dis
patch to superior authority on the
same day: I have scarcely the faint
est idea of an attack being made upon
us. but will be prepared should such
a thing take place.
Willard was present at the woeful
battle of Fredericksburg and was the
first correspondent to get the news to
Washington. He saw the attack of
the ironsides upon Charleston forts
in '63. The battles of Murfrees-
boro, Chickamauga and Chatta-
nooga command the most able Of all
Wizards efforts. Though fever pre-
vented Willard from active duty in this
campaign, he has made an elaborate
study of its tactical problems, which
reflects very greatly upon the char.
acter of Rosecrans. the commander OF
the Federal forces. With the close
of this campaign Wizards com.
mentaries upon the war come to ar
abrupt end and the next and las
book comprises a hurried resume oi
his successful career as a railroad
builder and financier.
This autobiography. unfortunatel,
an unfinished product. is a story to b,
read carefully and with appreciation
as il is in parts picturesque. at othel
times remarkably instructive, anC
throughout a narrative which makes
the heart beat quicker and the brair
leap forward in imagination.

Some Nonsense
and Otherwise

GORGE BARR McCUTCHEON
is one of those versatile young
~ men who can report battles for
newspapers and write romances for the
great public. His latest manifestation
,of genius is clothed in the form of as
delightful little comedietta as it has
been the good fortune of reader to
Law hands on for many a Lonesome day.
1.-THE Day of the Dog" he calls it, and
really a nice, genteel English bull pup
and a broad, fiat beam fifteen feet
above the floor of a country barn in
Illinois unite to play the gentle god
from the machine in this little entire
acts skit of McCutcheon's. No more de-
lightful comedy than this bears Frank
Stocktons magic name.
This Is the situation: A young law
yer and the pretty widow whose estate
is his care are marooned upon a beam
in a carriage-house by The Dog whose
day it Is. He must have her sign some
papers in order that her rapacious
brother-in-law may not swindle her
out of her estate; the brother-in-law
hopes to delay the laws course by
keeping the twain upon their airy perch
and so he will not call off the dog.
There they sit consequently until love
finds a way and they escape into the
dewy night. This situation is capital
and McCutcheon has made the very
best of it. Some illustrations in color
by Harrison Fisher and dainty mar
ginal decorations give the proper finish
to very charming little story.

There are detective stories and de-
tective stories, but for absolute riot
of imagination, the piling of mystery
upon mystery and the working of the
plot machine until each of it's wheels
screams in an agony of excessive fric-
ton, THE Yellar Holly" by Fergus
Hume, takes the prize centennial me-
dallion. Herein the grisly cloud of
suspicion hangs over each and every
character in the book successfully,
the heroine excepted, and from each IL
regularly lifted to be transferred to-
the next in line. Diabolical machina-
tions are concocted against the hero
by the plotting villains. Time and time
the clew is run to earth, only to prove
a false one. The author certainly full
fills all the requirements Of a good de-
tective story by making the mystery
impenetrable until the last chapter, but
a reader must have a healthy mental
equipment to follow through with the
maze to the last.
