ume. He had grown slowly upon the American consciousness, but the growth had been steady and sound. Old Creole days (1879) was accepted at once as a masterpiece, and there has been no revulsion of feeling. This collection, together with Madame Delphine the sum-total of his really distinctive short stories, owes its charm not alone to quaintness and strangeness of materials. It is as redolent of Cable as The luck of Roaring camp is of Harte. Cable's technique and his atmospheres may have d. T. B. Aldrich See also Book III, Chap. X. was one. His little story Marjorie Daw was published in the Atlantic five years after Harte's sensational debut. A trivial thing it was compared with such tragedies as Tennessee's partner or Madame Delphine, an American humorous anecdote elaborately expanded, with a point at the end to be followed by laughter, yet its appearance marked a new stage in the history of the American short story. Tales already there had been that had held a sensatio

treasures from the knowledge of posterity. M'Lle. D'Espinasse. I am swallowing by gasps that cauldrony beverage of selfish passion and morbid taste, the letters of M'lle D'Espinasse. It is good for me. How odious is the abandonment of passion, such as this, unshaded by pride or delicacy, unhallowed by religion,— a selfish craving only; every source of enjoyment stifled to cherish this burning thirst. Yet the picture, so minute in its touches, is true as death. I should not like Delphine now. Events in life, apparently trivial, often seemed to her full of mystic significance, and it was her pleasure to turn such to poetry. On one occasion, the sight of a passion-flower, given by one lady to another, and then lost, appeared to her so significant of the character, relation, and destiny of the two, that it drew from her line of which two or three seem worth preserving, as indicating her feeling of social relations. Dear friend, my heart grew pensive when I saw The flowe

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.match Race. Charleston, S. C., Jan. 30th, 1861. The long talked-of-match between O. P. Hare's Delphine and Thomas Puryear's Rosa Bonheur, two mile heates, was run to-day over the Charleston course. The match was made several months since for $2,000 a side.--Rosa won in two straight heats easy and well in hand; time, 3:49--3:50½. Very little betting. The backers of Delphine offered freely $100 to $70, but could get no takers at that. The streets here are full of soldiers, yet the city is comparatively quiet. Yours, X.
