that potatoes and paper from Stockton Springs,
will comprise the bulk of cargoes shipped South

9TH CITY CARE FORGOT" The first install
ment OF Mrs. Dinsmore's paper, published this
week, deals with the fashionable winter re-
sorts of Florida; the closing instalment, which
Will appear next week, is devoted to Charles
ton, 5. G.. and treats intere stingly Of that his
toric city-The City Care Forgot The ST.
Charles Hotel in New Orleans has issued
booklet with illustrations of the Crescent
Clty, to which it gives the title Mrs. Dns-
inore bestowed upon Charleston, but which
seems most inappropriate for city which
ranks second or third as a cotton shipping port
and which handles much of the trade of the
mississippi valley and the Gulf and Central
American ports. In an advertis ement the St.
Charles Hotel calls New Orleans 1.-THE Paris of
America. and that is correct "Beto' de

Parls; the French people. language, customs
and CUISINE predominating. AS to Charleston.
1t happens to be one of the very few southern
cities the writer has not visited but with
which ne has otherwise been familiar through
reading, In ante bellum days Charleston was
literary center; indeed. it might well have
been called The literary center of the South, as
Boston has been of New England. Many of
her early writer's have dropped below the liter
airy horizon. but Paul Hamilton Hayne, the
author of three volumes of poems and William
Gilmore Simms, poet. novelist, dramatist
biographer and geographer, who has been
called the walter Scott of the South" must
still retain their respective inches in the
Temple of Fame. After reading Mrs. Dins.
more's description of Charleston the picture
of church tower began to apper in the minds
eye. and finally it was brought to light from
trunk in the attic in copy of Appleton's
Journal of July Is, 1871. to which the writer
had contributed. 1t was in fully illustrated
article on "Charleston and its Suburbs" and
the picture in question was entitled "A glimpse
OF Charleston and bay, from the tower of St
Micb@s church" The article itself ia mainly
devoted to the voyage from New York. visits
