at makes the obviously impossible seem perfectly plausible and commonplace, he surpassed not only him but Edward Everett Hale and all others. After Stockton and The lady or the Tiger? it was realized even by the uncritical that short story writing had become a subtle art and that the master of its subtleties had his reader at his mercy. The best of Stockton's short work is to be found in his Negative Gravity, The Transferred Ghost, The Remarkable Wreck of the Thomas Hyke, and The Late Mrs. Null. It is like nothing else in American literature: everywhere paradox presented with the utmost gravity, everywhere topsy-turviness and anticlimax and the grotesquely unexpected. There is little of substance in it all; it is opera bouffe, amusing, delightful, ephemeral. Even now Stockton is remembered only for The lady or the Tiger? and the present generation considers even that story clumsy work when compared with the creations of his successor, O. Henry. Another who did much to advan

The Daily Dispatch: October 12, 1861., [Electronic resource], Recovery of prisoners. (search)
Recovery of prisoners. --We learn, says the Mobile Register, from a correspondent, that of the four prisoners of war which escaped from the cars at Enterprise, two were arrested on Tuesday morning at Tamola, by Messrs. John G. McArthur, W. P. Brantly, T. J. Clay, Jr., and turned over to Messrs. Null and Ashburn, who undertook to deliver them to the proper authorities. They were both armed with Colt's repeaters, which they said they had managed to keep concealed since the time of their capture at Manassa.--This should suggest to the officers who have the prisoners in charge, to give them a thorough overhauling. The recaptured prisoners hail from Maine, and are described as being intelligent young men.
