men who carry it along have not themselves
the smallest consciousness Of what it is that
makes the thing so funny. Again and again
has 20" fingered lovingly over the humors of
his Detachable Duchy, but never before has he
given such free rein to his sportive impulse
There is a quip or joke upon every page, and
on some pages there are half dozen. Through
all the fun. too there runs a, vein of whole
some sentiment, and toward its close the book
takes grave and even tragic tone; 70"
while the Mayor of Troy does not die, he suf-
fers such fall that he might fairly claim to
have been brushed by the skirts of tragedy.
If 20" has used a false touch anywhere it has
been in making the contrast between the two
stages OF his hero's career too violent. In the
earlier chapters no limit is put to the absurdity
enveIoping Major Solomon Hymen and his
fellow Trojans. Then the major is whelmed in
disaster so cruel as to seem disproportionate.
and, what is more. it is asking too much Of q
reader who has been kept on the broad grin
through thirteen out Of twenty-five chapters
to sympathize all Of a sudden with blistering
SORROWS. The transition should have been
made more gradual. We fear that that could
only have been accomplished through moderat-
ing the 'Iarks" out of which the larger half
of this book has been made. We like "Q's"
larks, and SO we would have regretted the
of Troy better book in making it
tistic.
'rNedra" is a spirited narrative concerning
two young lovers who detest the idea Of being
married in Chicago according to all the rules
and regulations of their fashionable circle, and
accordingly decide to elope. They get as far as
New-York on their way to Manila, when an
accident to the cab in which they riding
throws an exasperating obstacle in their path,
and though they catch their steamer the pre-
difficulty proves syrnbolical-they get
into one hobble after another. Moreover. the
object for which they eope is never carried out.
and this without their ever having even a ghost
Of quarrel! This is as much as TO say that
Mr.. McCutcheon has a very ingenious way with
him and knows how to achieve the unexpected. |
The characters in his sprightly story are all
ikabIe individuals, and to be in their COM
pany is to share in some fairly astonishing adj
ventures, ''Nedra proves an acceptable offering.

cences. What he has here set down is little
more than an amplified index Of the contents OF
THE Messenger" during the twenty years OF us
existence 1t is an index which in the mass OF
material noted is curiously illustrative OF pro-
vincialism and egotism in the South of bygone
days of which Northern critics have never I'M
dertaken TO accuse her. Whence came the shall
low culture indicated in this retrospect OK
writer's? We may, perhaps find the best
answer in a quotation made by Professor Trent
from an address by a brilliant Southerner OF
to-day Mr.. Walter H Page:
We ourselves have written and spoken muGn
and have made ourselves believe that we were in
way different from other sturdy folk ana tnat
we were in some way better than other common
people Thus we have come to put a false value
on our social structure and we have never looked
see This false view has done incalculabe
common folk. then, who were once dominated by
nomio character, made a failure and LETT stub
born crop of wrong social notions behind it-es-
peciauy about education.
There could be learning, as Mr.. Page says,
but no vigor and freshness of talent to be de-
rived from the education which he describes as
hampered by caste feeling of this sort. It was
partly from this feeling that came the tone OF
pomposty which characterized so much Of the
Southern writing of the old days. and which IS
comicaly in evidence in many of Mr. Minor
citations. The Messenger" could not announce
the return of Richmond editor to his desk
without this exultng shout: His pen COM
bines the qualities Of the scimitar of Saladin
and the battle axe Of Coeur-de-Leon (sic) and
he is welding it like a very Orlando, Inc
scimitars and battle axes have passed forever
we may hope, out of the mental horizon OF the
Southern writer and If in times to come the
student pores over the often inflated prose and
4ba
of THE Messenger he will not take either too
seriously. The critical or humorous view may
not reasonably be expected from one who, like
Mr.. Minor, is, in old age. revisting sympa-
thetfcalIy the glfmpses of his happy and busy
youth.
