The above paragraph scantily indicates the power and gift of a woman who has remarkable literary ability. “The Village Tragedy,” above mentioned, is a second “Scarlet Letter” almost in its^yividness, and Is even more insistent anf impressive by reason of its moral purpose. The book is probably known little in America, but despite its niter somber ness is a tale that appeals to the literary student by reason of its simple and direct litersrv style. • Mrs. Woods has published a book of poems that are as exquisite as any modern verse. They are asclear cut as the modern poetic method demands, but have fire enough fo please those who lean to the old Bvronic days. One poem, “Wreathe Me the Lyre Again,’ ia perfect as art and heart can make it. At Gardner, Me., in an old-fashioned, pumpkin-yellow house, shaded by stately elms and maples, lives Laura E. Richards. She is one of the daughters of Dr. Howe, the philanthropist, whose character the poet Whittier portrayed in his poem called “The Hero.” Her mother, Julia Ward Howe, is

the well-known

author of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and a book lull of outer poems worthv of wide reading. As children, Mrs. Richards and her sister, Mrs. Elliot—better known as Maud Howe —were very beautiful. Their artist friends made sketches or portraits of them, and the literary friends of their parents wrote about them from Fmirika Bremer’s time till they took their own places among the world’s

workers.

At twenty—in 1871—Laura was married to Henry Richards, an architect by profession, belonging to a cultured English family who lived in Gardiner, Me. Alter a European tour the young couple took up their residence in Boston. In the midst of a distinguished literary circle, which was sure to meet and entertain all kindred spirits from abroad, they breathed a very enjoyable atmosphere. But when business interests took them away, considerably more than a decade ago, Mrs. Richards estabblished for herseif so busy and useful a life that she betrayed no dissatisfaction with

the change.

In the north parlor of their attractive home, beside a window which looks out upon a beautiful curve of the Kennebec, stands the desk, where have been written most of the verses and sketches that have won for their author so many friends on

both sides of the Atlantic.

How far poetical genius in the Tennyson family extends beyond the Laureate himself can be seen from a couple of poems by two of his children, sent in autograph to the Aldrich collection in the Iowa State Li-

brary:

The Atlanta Constitution makes the following suggestions for the Critic’s list of “the twenty writers whom its readers deem the truest representatives of what is best in cultivated American womanhood: We nominate, therefore, for the first place, Constance Fcnimore Woolson, who leads all American novelists in tier knowledge of all Sections of the country and m the beauty *nd perfection of her art. For the second place wc name Elizabeth B. Htoddard, whose stories of New England life belong to all sections. Then Alice French, who is known as ’Octave Thauet;’Sophie Bledsoe Hetrick, Julia Ward Howe, Margaret J. Preston, Eluabeth Peabody, Ellen Maekay Hutchinson, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Margaret Deland, Sarah Orue Jewett, Martha J. Lamb, S. M. B. Piatt, Agnes E. Reppiiu, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Edith M. Thomas, Marv N. Murfree, Rosa Hawthorn Lathrop and Lucy La room." It will be perceived that Harriett Beecher Stowe is honored by being omitted from this list of mortals. Speaking ot women authors, Mrs. Burnett is said to stand at the head of our authors just now in her literary earnings. The London Daily News says that she has received for her American rights on the play of “Little Lord Fauntleroy” no less than £17,000 (185,000), and that if'we were to add her similar profits in England on the “enormous sales” of this novel, the amonut earned out of the book would be “quite

startling.” —

The appearance of these memoirs has been long looked forward to—not only for the light they will throw upon the events of one of the mosVlnterestiug of historical epochs, but ior the personal opinions and experiences which they are known to contain.

WITH THE BEST INTENTIONS. By Marion Harlaad. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. Indianapolis: Tho Bowen-Merrill Companv. A story of unflagging interest, with the scene laid at Mackinac and the adjacent country, so well known to Western summer resorters. There ia not a great deal of action, nor much incident in the story, ^ret it lias enough of plot to pique the* curious reader into a reading at one sitting. People who have a tendency to gossip will find this novelette a morel warning against that careless diversion. The scenes described are gracefully and uot tiresomeiy done, and the people are interesting types. We are surprised, however, that a woman who holda afbft the banner lor her sex so persistently, so sincerely and so commendably, should be found conceding the weaknesses to women that are here described. A KENTUCKY COLONEL. By Onie P. Head, Chicago: F. J. Schulte & Company. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrlll Company. A lazy, good-natured story, full of humor, and giving under the surface some picture? of life iu the old Kentucky. In commenting upon a book of Mr. Read’s a year or two ago, we urged that he be more painstaking in his work, and depart from his ngwpaper habit of doing sketchv, careless things. He tells a story of a feudal fight in this book with spirit, and does other parts of his tale most interestingly. Literary Notes. Canon Liddon has made considerable progress with Ilia biography of Dr. Rusey. Toward the end of this month the Longmans will publish, in two octavo volumes, Cardinal Newman's letters and correspondence during his life in the English Church. The unusual feature of an article written, drawn, and engraved by the same hand will appear in “A Day with'a Country Doctor,” by Frank French, in the November Scrib-

ner's.

Two sonnets on Cardinal Newman will appear in the November Scribner, by Aubrey de Vere, the aged Irish poet, and by Inigo Deane, a disciple and friend of the

late Cardinal.

. W. J. Henderson, in an article entitled “Journalism vs. Literature,” in the November Lippencott’s, gives some excellent advice to young men who wish to take up journalism as a profession. A traveler recently found in aSwiss hotel a volume with the word “Bart” on the baqk as the name of the author. On examination he discovered that the volume was one of the works of Sir John Lubbock, Bart. Messrs. Funk & Wagnails will publish in November a narrative poem iu blank verse by Wm. Cleaver Wilkinson, entitled “The Epic of Saul.” The poem treats of the career of Saul the Pharisee up to the time of

his eon version.

William Elliott Griffis will contribute to Harper’s Young People for October 21 a biograghical sketch of that popular writer of young people’s books, Charles Carieton Co’tfiu. The article will be accompanied by

a portrait of Mr. Collin.

Audrew Lang’s biography of the late Lord Iddesleigh will be published in October by the Slaekwoods in two volumes. It is understood that Mr. aims at giving an account of the statesman’s personality rather than of his Parliamentary work. Rhoda Broughton, the English novelist, has written twenty-two books and published but ten. She is fifty years old, snowyhaired, but sweet-faced and sunny-hearted. She has a pretty home iu Oxford that it has taken her a quarter of a century to procure. F. J. Stimson, the author of “Mrs. Knollys” and other short stories collected in “The Sentimental Calendar,” will contribute to the November Scribner “Dr. Materiaiismus.” Mr. Stimson is a Boston lawyer, who succeeded for several years in keeping

his identity a secret.

Ouida has her name on twenty-seven novels that have paid her more money than any history published in the last quatjer of a gentnry. The Duchess is the author of twentv-three passion-tattered romances. Rosa N. Carey has written eleven love stories, Mrs. Forester ten, Mrs. H. Lovett Cameron nine and Laura Jean Libby seven. Mr. R. Le Gallienne’s book on George Meredith; Novelist and poet, is to make its appearance soon. As Mr. George Meredith is one who looks on critics with the eye of a Carlyle, it will be interesting if an ipterviewer—a being also for whom ho has but a slight regard—should be able to gauge his opinion on his latest analyst and preseut

it to the public.

The many hundreds of people who have laughed and applauded at the recent representations of tue ’‘County Fair,” or who will yet do so at continued perforrhances, will find much additional enjoyment in reading the story of the play writtenBy the humorous Neil Burgess himself. Published by Street <fc (Smith, 25 to 31 Rose street, New York. Among the papers of the late Mr. E. Hail atone, of England, an amusing letter from Charles Dickens to a friend, describing the death of Grip, the famous raven of Burnaby Budge, has turned up. The letter is dateii “Devonshire Terrace, 15th June, 1841.” Grip it is recorded, died from influenza, his last words beinc, “Halloa, old girll” after uttering which ho expired. Among the new books to be published by Harper & Brothers during the mouth of October are Colonel Knox’s “Boy Travelers in Great Britain and Ireland,” McCaskey’s “Christmas in Song, Sketch and Story,” Dandet’s “Port Tarascon; tlie Last Adveutures of the Illustrious Tartarin;” and the “Tsar and His People,” by Theodore Child, Vassili Verestchagin and others. Under the title of “A Modern Hero” the November Wide Awake gives the romantic life story of Dr. Samuel G. Howe, the subject of Whittier’s fine poem. “The Hero,” who fought in the Greek Revolution and won greater victories in giving eyes to the blind and the dumb a voice. A’ curiosity in die shape of a page of embossed print such as is read by the blind, is inserted

with the article.

Concerning Rudyard Kipling, Andrew Lang writes: “To myself he seems one of two, three, or four voung men—and he is far the youngest—who flash out genius train some unexpected place, who are not academic, nor children of the old literature of the world, but of their own works. He is not iu tune with our modern civilization, whereof mauv a heart is sick; he is more at home in au Afghan pass than in the Strand.” T. B. Harned, of Camden, N. J.. gave a dinner to Wait Whitmau recently. “I publish mv own books,” says the venerable poet, “and have done so ever siuee my first little volume, entitled ‘Leaves of Grass,’ was returned to me unnoticed by every leading newspaper in the country save one. Things have changed since then, and seareely a day passes in which I do not receive a*request with satisfactory honorarium to write for some leading newspaper or magazine. But I have to go slow, and only work on days when the spirit moves me: for you ku'ow I am half a Quaker, and go a little ou

the light within.”

!Correspondence of The Indianapolis News. I Terkk Haute, October 20.—The talk of the Institute for the past week has been the visit of Professor Eddy, of the Cincinnati University, to whom the vacancy of President of the Institute has been offered, and the victory of the freshmen ball team which defeated the sophomore nine iu a closely contested game. The freshmen bunched their hits and had a good battery. The sophomores are weak in their battery, and have no prospect of strengthening it. On Saturday the freshmen crossed bats with the juniors, and barely saved themselves from a “shut-out.” The game was called at the end of the fifth inning, with a score of 6 to 1. The ’92 yell was heard all over the campus. The present freshman class is a good one, and is composed of fellows from all sections of this country, and the United States of Colombia also has a representative. Those interested in foot ball decided not to put an eleven into the field this vear to contest against the other colleges of the State, but formed an association from the four classes. On Saturday the first of the series will be played, in which the Freshmen and Sophomores will “scrap” for the ball. “The R. P. I. Orchestral Club” has started up for the ’90-91 season and has made several additions, which will strengthen it. The members intend to hold a concert before the holidays for the benefit of the “Athletic Association.” “The Tri-color Club,” composed of members of the institute and Terre Haute girls, has held several dances this fall and taken in several new members from the ’94 class. A few weeks ago, when the “trophy” won by the school for its victories in the “field day” contests last June arrived, the students were at the depot to receive it, and a narade with tin horn accompaniment followed. There is much speculation among the upper classmen as to the probable ball team for next season. There is a Imttery in the freshman class which attracts a good deal of attention. Bender handles himself well and is very speedy. Anderson does good work behind the bat, and they have already been dubbed the “kid battery.” The faculty have added Professor William Strunk to their number and he has charge of the freshman mathematics and also assists Professor Wickersham in teaching sophomore German. He is a graduate of the Cincinnati University. * There his been a great deal of pipe smoking among sophomores and upper classmen; indeed, to such au extent that Professor Mees, who is now the acting President, gave the students a “talk” on “the evils of too much tobacco.” There is little or no pipe smoking among the freshmen, as it is forbidden on the streets by the rest of the classes : VYntmsn College. Correspondence of The Indianapolis News.1 Crawfordsville, Optober 20.—Foot ball enthusiasm seems to have been cooled somewhat by the withdrawal of several of the colleges and the apparent impossibility of securing a coacher. The team contains some most excellent material, but its training is neither svstemattc nor steady. The first “bout” will be Saturday with Purdue ou the Wabash grounds, and the contest promises to be a very lively one. Tennis enthusiasm shows no failing, however, as multiplying courts throughout the spacious campus will testify. Every fraternity has its court, upon which the members and their lady friends daily disport themselves. Tournaments of all sorts add interest and insure spectators. The Pettit trial is an enticement to the average student, and the Court House has become the common loafing place. The would-be lawyer explains that he is getting valuable experience; but it is safe to say that all are seeking to gratify a questionable curiosity. The new professors of chemistry and German are beginning work in an admirable way, bringing the training of Edinburgh University and Hamilton College, both supplemented by professional training in Germany. The new “Yandes Library Building” is com pie ted as to the walls, and is now waiting in a most aggravating fashion for promised iron for the roof. The building is a magnificent one, as it should be, to contain the largest library in the State. Class spirit is running high, every class bging organized with its officers, poets, prophets,colors and yell. Some of the yells are unique in the extreme, and are built for noise rather than sense. The large freshmen class contains an unusual number of high school graduates who took the Wabash prize scholarship last June, the consequence being au unually large percentage of choice men. The Phi Gamma Delta chapter of this college will probably transfer itself bodily to Indianapolis Thursday and Friday of this ■week to attend the convention. They boast two of the faculty, Professors Norris and Coulter, and quite a number of distinguished citizens, having captured our two most famous literary lights, General Wallace and Maurice Thompson. The “spiking” of new men has about ceased, as the new material has been all worked over, and those who have not joined profess conscientious scruples against secret societies. If it were not for these Greek societies there would be less college politics, and more college “scrapes,” and it seems to be a choice between two evils. Extensive improvements are being made in the herbarium to accommodate the rapidly increasing collection of plants. The Government has several collectors upon the Texan border, all of whose collections are sent here for identification, and huge bundles of incoming* plants are an almost daily occurrence. A great box of Guatemalan plants is also being studied for publication, and it would^ be unsafe to guess when Professor Coulter and his assistants will catch up with the vast amount of material piling up before them. Professor II. S. Kritz will be the college representative at the meeting of the College Association during the holidays. The present senior class is the largest in the history of the college, with the exception of last year’s class. The question is being pertinently raised here whether students do not carry too many studies at once; not that they study too much, but too many subjects. There is a uroposition to diminish the number of studies, and increase the number of hours.

The college will go on an excorsion to Ciucinnati this week. The objective points will be the Zoological Garden and the Art

The Faculty has decided that term rhetoricais will not be done away with. Sucn action comes as a sad blow to the more bashful ones, who have held that exhibitions are essentially wrong. “The C Social," given by the ladies of the village church, and attended largelv by students, was enjoyable in everything,

'Slip

from cereal compounds and encumbers, eider cured, to crystalized cream and crusted cake. The social of every two weeks was given by Mrs. Pfaffenberger. These homelike gatherings of congenial spirits are thought to have great influence for good over the student stranger. The Philos, from a recent debate, believe in Monday as a holiday. The Sigourneans have the novelty of a novelette by many authors. The Sigourneans have added three or four new members, and are now the strongest organization numerically in the school. Miss Rose Robertson, '90, has been made alumni editor, and Edward H. Wood,’91, manager of The Collegian. The October number is current. The printer has fulfilled his eontract. The paper is equal to any college journal in Indiana. “The History of Moore's Hill” is finished. “A Chapter from Science,” by C. W. Lewis, calls attention. “The Functions of the Christian College,” Dr. Martin’s inaugural, is completed. “The Study of Pictures," by Alice A. King, is a readable article from the pen of a graduate. The Young ladies’ quartette has been organized. First soprano, Miss Laura Ewan; second soprano. Miss Nora Vayhinger; first alto, Miss Olive Jones; second alto, Miss Carrie Ewan; Miss Leonard, director. They have chosen the name of the patroness of music, St. Cecilia; and we may expect St. Cecilia’s Quartette to be a credit to Moore’s Hill. The male quartette consists of Power, Johnson, Thomas and Dashiel. Notre Dame University. I Correspondence of Tne Ina’anapolis News.) Notre Dame, October 18.—The weather' played havoc with the program of the Athletic Association. The managers of the Field Day exercises had completed all arrangements for holding the contests last Monday afternoon, but a severe thunder storm forced them to postpone it until Thursday, but when that day arrived it was accompanied by another rain and again was the aflair deferred, Friday, however, was an excellent day, and a large audience from Chicago, South Bend and elsewhere assembled on Brownson campus to witness the sports. At exactly 2 o’clock several determi led looking young men faced the starter for the first heat of the 100 yard dash. From that time on everything moved quickly and smoothly, the management being perfect in every respect. The following were the results Friday, several events being postponed on account of darkness. One hundred-yard da»h (Class A)—8. C. Curtis, first; F. Keenan, second. Time, 104-5. One hundred-yard dash (Class Bi—Me onogh, first; Cunningham, second. Time, XI 2-5.

Handicap bicycle race, one mile—Cummings (scratch), Urst; Du Brul (fllty yards), second. The other events will be held early next week, and include several of the most interesting contests. A very enjoyable entertainment was given in Washington Hall on Founder’s Day in honor of Rev. Edward Sarin, C. S. C. The large auditorium was crowded with admirers of the venerable father, and the aflair wae a decided success. The opening number on the program was a grand overture by the Notre Dame orchestra, and it was rendered in a most pleasing style. The University Choral Union then sang the well-known churns, “Rataplan,” and received several encores. Each of the departments hud a representative speaker on the stage who congratulated the Reverend

8t. Edward’s Hali. Each address was eloquently delivered and enthusiastically applauded by the audience. Sarin Hall contributed their share by presenting a one-act comedy entitled “The Rising of the Moon,” by Professor M. F. Egan. The •"■Riding roles were sustained by Messrs. Hummer and Sinnot, while Messrs. Fitzgibbon and Berry managed the two minor parts. The gentlemen are all well-known amateurs here, and they were at their best on this occasion. At the conclusion of the exercises President Walsh made a few remarks, after which most of the audience adjourned to the senior refectory, where a banquet wasserved. Plates were arranged for about 400, and everyone fully enjoyed himself. Captain’ Prudhomme is busily engaged with his foot ball team. Several new men have been added to the eleven, and there is no doubt that it is as strong as it ever was. The most valuable acquisitions arc Gillen, formerly of Fordham, N. Y., and Knox, of last year’s Ottawa team, champions of Canada.’ Tho following games have been arranged: October 25, Ann Arbor, at N. D.; November 1, Ann Arbor, at Ann Arbor; November 6, Albion, at Albion; November Jo, Chieagos, at N. D.; November 20, Albion. at N. D. Others are being considered. Purdue University. I Correspondence of Tlie Indianapolis News. | Lafayette, October 21.—The first number of the current volume of the Exponent appeared this week. It is a monthly journal edited by representatives of the four literary societies, and intended to reflect college life in its various aspects. The present number consists of seventeen folio pages, with editorial and literary departments, locals, department notes, etc. The artistic cover was designed by Mr. A. B. Rogers, a member of the last graduating class and a special art student this year. Mr. Rogers is preparing a new series of designs and illustrations for the next register. The Western Society of Nationalists holds its meeting this vear at Purdue, November 13 and 14. Prof. Stanley Coulter is Treasurer of the organization, and reports prospects for a large attendance. O. L. Ratliff, ’85, who is successfully interested in the Santa Fe Copper Company, of San Pedro, New Mexico, paid Purdne a visit this week. He graduated here in an engineering course, accepted a position in a mining company in New Mexico, located claims on property which developed richly, and is now one of the principal owners in the company named. W. S. Windle, of the class of ’88, for a time post-graduate student and assistant in the biological laboratory, later instructor at Earlbam College, has been elected Professor of the Natural Sciences, in Amity College, Iowa. A special short course of agricultural instruction has been arranged for daring the coming winter, for the particular benefit of voung men who are unable to attend during the entire school year. Short courses of this kind have been very successful in

last year, support. The course will begin January IS, and continue six weeks, and will include instruction in agriculture, Horticulture. entomology, botany, zoology, agricultural chemistry and veterinary medicine. This instruction will be given by members of the faculty, and in addition special lectures have been arranged for from well known specialists in agricultural lines. These are already promised: Four lectures by J. M. Smith, of Wisconsin, on “Small Fruits and Market Gardening;’* two lectures by Dr. C. A. Robinson, of Morristown, Ind., on “Poultry;” two lectures bv Mrs. Kate Busie, of Wabash, Ind., on “Dairying;” two lectures by Mr. J. J. W. Billingsley, of Indianapolis, on “Drainage.” At least four other specialists will contribute to the list. A nominal tuition fee will be charged, and as living expenses are moderate here, it is thought that the opportunities offered will be appreciated and made use of. The foot ball eleven made its debut today in Chicago, where a game was played at the League grounds with the Chicago University eleven, composed of college alumni, chiefly from Harvard, Yale and Princeton, and’ including some of the most famous foot bail talent of the last few years. The weather was raw and drizzling and un-

favorable to exhibition playing, yet a large crowd of spectators were present. In the first half Chicago scored 10, and in the last half Purdue gained 6 to her credit, there being some advantage ia goals owing to high wind. That Purdue was able to make so good a showing against a team of this sort in her first game, encourages her backers much, and the returning athletes were greeted with the Purdue “yell” in a very hearty manner. Lieutenant W. H. P. Creighton. United States Navy, who has been detailed at Purdue during the two past years as Professor of Mechanical Engineering, was lately recalled, and ordered to report at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. President Smart has

(Correspondence of The Indianapolis News.1 Irvington, October 20.—Delta Tau Delta has made the only initiation of the week. Mr. Kern, of ’94, is the last man to bestride the Delta goat. This gives the chapter a symmetrical membership, made up of two men from each of the college classes, and, with the three graduate students aifd two pledged men, makes Delta Tau’s fighting strength thirteen. Judging from the first issue of the Collegian, and numerous rumors that are now afloat, the Phi Gamma Delta Convention, which is meeting this week in Indianapolis, is likely to be an event of momentous importance to a certain nucleus of Butler boys. If the report of their application for charter be correct, and the applicants those that rumor names, it is to be hoped that the effort will be successful. The college has now material enough to support another good chapter, and the men named have in their midst good students and workers. The Pythoman Literary Society celebrated the thirty-fifth anniversary of its establishment, on Monday night. In addition to a very enjoyable evening of sociability, the members were entertained and iuFtructed by words of wisdom and reminiscences from Adjutant General Brown, of The News, aud Colonel Morrison, of Frankfort. ancient members of the society. The library is now in its new quarters in Burgess Hali, where it will probably remain until the erection of a special building. Two large, well-lighted rooms in the second storv of the new building have been occupied, and the books are now grouped in cozy alcoves, the shelves of which are in easv reach and sight of the most abbreviated student. The reading room is now much larger, and is to be fitted up with chairs and tables of the most comfortable and enticing sort. Last week’s foot ball game was somewhat of a surprise and a disappointment to the Butlerites. About ninety went over to Greencastle in special coaches to see the boys win, and the score of nothing to nothing was the last thing expected. The team seemed to leave all its snap and dash on the rough ground and in the rain and wind of Greencastle, and put up the poorest game it has played this season. The boys are preparing to redeem themselves, however, and whatever may happen, it is safe to say that the score on Saturday, when Butler and De Pauw meet again at the Y. M. 0. A. Park, Indianapolis, will not be a tie. The team is hard at work and in splendid trim, and counts confidently on duplicating its record of last year, De Pauw University.
