rata have an Instinct that warns them of a

mine, and when they are seen scampering

the workmen knew they are giving them a
danger signal, and tbey hurry away in re

Ym will rsBBr, of, man likely, you
wea't that mera than a year age, when
writing about tbe short story a a distinctive
lament In our AuMrtean literature, 1 men
tioned one whleb had apreared In Tht Ven
fury a short time before, a In my opinion
the most imrtset specimen of that kind or
literature that bad yet been written. "Msrse
Oban " was the title or Ibe story and It waa
by an author whose name was new te
me: Themas Nelsen Page. If he had never
written anything mere, that one gem or a
atery would have given him a prominent
place In the galaxy of bright and shining
lights that have arisen In the literary firma
ment of tbe " New Seuth " since the storm
of war has, cleared It of the benumbing
vapor and depressing clouds that se long
had wrapped the spiritual life of tbe Seuth a
In a pall.
It was very gratifying te me, after 1 bad
formed and expressed the above opinion, te
Und that It waa verified, with a unanimity
that was rather remarkable, by nearly all the
leading critics of the press while the general
reader hailed Ihe new author with a de
lighted welcome, a oentalnlng the " premise
and potency " of indefinite enjoyment lu the
future. And 1 am confident that thousands
looked forward with me full el expectancy
from month te month, and eagerly scanned
tbe page of The CeiKury, for something
mere from the gifted ion of Themas Nelsen
1'age. Ner did we leek In vain. Fer seen
came "Moh Lady," a worthy successor of
"Mars Chan"; aud from time te time
several ethers In Ihessine delightful vein.
This was gratifying Indeed, but It was net
wholly satlsfaotery. Heme kinds el litera
ture, lu fact, according te my taile, the great
bulk el magsr-lne short stories aud long one
tee, one Is c.mlenl te read once and tben cast
aililp, erat most preserve in a dismembered
and stuttered sute In the biund volumes of
the magazine, i kind of embalmlng and
burial Irem which there Is no resurrection te
reslllfe. Hut oiice In a long white thsre appears
a uevel, or a succesilnn of short stories, tbe
llrst readlugel which Is only a kind of ap
petizer. One wants te read thorn again, and
yet again; ene wants te have them apart by
themselves ; ene wants tberu all together in a
hook; aaa psrmanent pleoe el literature, te
lake It place, en our shelve for relerenee
and repeated enjoyment by the whole
fnuillY) Te this exceptions! class I felt that
Mr. Page's stories preeminently belonged.
They are tee geed meat ler a mere magszlne
sandwich. They are a whole dish In them
aelvea. And they taste belter separately and
alone than with a melange or miscellaneous
acoeinnanlmeuta, however geed and Interest
lug these latter may be.
1 can preve tbe correctness of this notion ;
rer Mr. Page's slorles have Just been gath

are equal te the best el their kind ever writ

old Virginian untitled " nobility, " et the
bitter jealeusle and hatreds, the deadly
feuds, the atreug attachmanta, the pride and
chivalry, of all that entered Inte their rela

And, what la peculiar te these stories, and
Iturbspa an essential element et their eliarui,
all theaecharaclerlstlca are presented tretn tbe
point of view, net of the slave owners, uer of

and wblle unquestionably It Is net, at tlrst at

Alter all la said aud done, turnover, in this

the negre dialect is given only a small place,
and all the negreea in it are only incidental

The rte or Count Lse Tolstoi's latest work,
'Tuei'ewer of Darkness," Is the subject or
much speculation In literary circles. The
Imperial Alexander theatre or SU Peters

suddenly lis appearance was prohibited, net
only in that city, but en any Ku'slan stage
and it sale by publishers and booksellers at
the same tlme strenuously prohibited. The
nutoemo of tliftse precaedlngs are otgerly

Dickens, Thackeray, Tetirgenell', or any ether

"Anna Karenuia" and " Cesiajk " by
Tolstoi, will live aalengas any novel by

writer, l.ee Tolnlel Is a very conspicuous
character lu ether respects, lie is a tutu who
has lived through all the Intellectual and

A geed story regarding the great run el
salmeu in the l'onelecot baa been the topic
at Danger. Many sportsmen Irem New
Yerk, and even further south, are there with
the ninet teduetlve devices ter llsh killing,
nud thin tiles lmti the river above and below
the city Irem Hunrlsi te unmet. Among the
native sportsmen who have rivalled the vis
itors are two small boys 11 and ill years old,
who are new the homes et the town. They
have an old beat lu which they Hpumi all
tbelr tqure hours en the river. Fer ilitilng
tackle tbey secure a long, utr.tlglit stick, like
a bean pole, a cord nearly as large a a lead
pencil and strong oiieugli te held a whale,
and a suull ordinary hook. They paddled
around ou the river dangling the worm
balled hook at the end el the rope until they
get a bite. The Idur lad bal tlie pole, and
the tliti with a rush almost hauled 111 in out
el the beat. The boy was equ il te the emer
gency, aud be hung en like an Alabama
claim.
He yelled te the ether boy te pull for shore.
Tbe little fellow worked away at the eirs
like a Trojan, while the Ush pulled alme.it as
bard as he did. The htruggle was a long
one, but tbe beat liually reached shoal water
near the bank. The tliti rushed about
frantically, and the buysujuld net land him.
Finally the boy at the pole, getting the fisti
near the beat, handed the line te the ether,
and j um pod evtr beard for n haud-te hand
tustle with the game.
The water reached le his waUU The little
lellew tugged with all his might nt the line,
aud the ether made a grab ter the tlm. He
succeeded in getting bold el it just back of
the gills, and he hung en. It was a monster,
and the boy was almost overmatched. The
Ush was almost as long at he was, but he
managed tu get his arms around It, partly
underneath the gills, aud be bugged it Iran
tically. lu a tew moments he waded ashore,
aud dropped bis prey triumphantly en the
bank. Then he aud his companion had a
war dance. They lugged tbe Ush home, and
feuud it weighed twenty one pounds.

Daalet, Daa, Heeper, a lwaeied
by bU intlBs, lived la 1R73 m a email leg
beuse cm the beak or lb Hheaendeah. HI
family consisted of bis wife, mother-la-Uw,
and several children ( and be supported them
hv ilshlng, hunting, and working a millet'
assistant at mill about a mile below.
Dan Heeper was a character, and bore no
slight resemblance te Kip Van Winkle. Ill
clothes were ragged, and ha bad a gay, vaga
bend nir that put overybly In geed humor.
He bad the beat heart In the world, and we
net deficient In shrewd sense. Only one
thing tormented him : he was deemed te III
luck ; or, te use bis own exprtsilen, he was
" the omucklest man t "
One morning in 1U73, tbe year of the great
freshet in the Shenandoah, be put en hi
ragged tint te go te the mill, when his
nintlier-m-Uw, Mia. Wllklns, confronted
him.
" Dan'l Heeper 1 " said Mrs. Wllklns, In
loud and stern voice, holding her anus
akimbo.
" Yes, mum, " Haiti Dn.
" Have you led the pig 7 "
" Yea, mum. "
" Have you been te the fish trap 7 "
" I'm theeulucklestiuan t Hut you knew
peeple will fergit, mum. "
" Forgit I Yeu don't fergit te stick: that
pipe In ye' innulb, Dan'l Heeper!"
New, as Mrs. Wllklns herself bad been
smoking a short, black pipe when she began
her remarks, this tierce denunciation seemed
rather unreasonable, it may have struck
Dm Hoeicr In that light, but be msde no
teply. Leng experience bad told him that
Mrs. WJIkius wax mere than his match lu
eloquence.
" I'm the nnluckleat man 1 " be only said,
as If Irem habit,
" Yeu never said a truer word 'n that,
Dan'l Heeper !"
" 1 n'tHmi there never was a leller mere on en
lucky, " he nddud contemplatively. Here
I'm 'bilged te stump te the mill lu all
weather with my rhettniatlz, and ain't get
no clothe, ant! net te tnake tin Illusions,
mum no ppace In the faultily. "
"O Dan !" murmured his wile, who was
always ailing, " hew can you say that 7 "
" New. ir the house was near the mill, and
you was well, Marthy, and melber-lii-law
was " IJin stepped, line meant te ami
that the Hlckness or death of Mrs. Wllklns
would be a grateful been, a glance at tbe
lady sealed his lips. A trrible scowl aud-il-niy
darkened bur luce, and Dau Heeper
disappeared.
" Well, of all the Iszy varmints r ever
see," said Wllklns, "that Dan'l Hoejer
Is the laziest 1"
" Oh, no, mother 1 you're tee bard en hltn,
and 1 wish 3011 wouldn't talk te him he, "
murmured the pier wile " Yeu knew hew
uoed he is te me and the children ; and be
does 'most ev rythlng 1 "
" 'Most everyililug! "'cried Mi. Wllklns;
" what de you mean by "uieit everything !'
Hew would this huusu pit along if it warti't
for me, I'd like te knew 7 Here I'm drudg.
In from inernln' te night te keep you out e'
the poerbome, aud this la all the thanks I
git I"
Having thus asserted her merlta, Mrs.
Wllkiua put 011 an old heed, aud, taking a
basket, lit her pipe, and proceeded toward
ihe river, only lllty yards dlsaut Stepping
care'ully (mm rock te rock, and ever fallen
trees brought down by the current and
ledged Hgalnst them, ehe at last reacbed the
llsh-trap. It waa one of the old fashioned
description, consisting et a sloping lloer of
narrow lath, with depressions resembling
steps, and bearded sides. The stream carried
the tiih ever the series or nieps, and then
fell through, leaving thorn te tliunder hope
less lu their prison.
Mrs. Wllklns was fend of baas, and tilled
her ba'ket with euperb llsh. HI10 then
turned te retrace her step?, when suddenly
alie xtepptd. Se Intent had she been ou
eecuring her favorite lisb, that Rhe had net
observed that the river was rising. Kalns
above had swollen the waters, the flood was
new rushing down, and Mrs. Wllklns saw
that there was net a moment te lese, for the
lbdgeset rock upon which she bad stepped
were rapidly dlsapppearlng.
Tne lady then (mrforiued a ceremony that
rendered her appearance innre picturesque
than gracetnl. She seized her Unsay dies
behind, lifted it up nearly te her knees, aud,
pulling vigorously at her pipt, plunged a
pair et stout leg In blue woolen stockings
Inte the water. Shu Imped there would be
time te reach the shore, but there was net
Jubt as she gained a huge tree trunk ledged
en the rocks, and bestrode It, a rearing llmxl
lilted It Irem Its place Htid bore it away The
last Heeti el Mrs. Wllklns by the lain I ly In
the leg house was the smoke et her pipe, aud
her heed wildly wavlugasshe disappeared.
Dau U roper had meanwhile proceeded te
thu mill, wuere he went le work lit his usual
occupation, Interchanging new and then
11 few- words with the old miller en neighbor
hood news A tople of Interest was the
ferry about le be established just below the
mill. The only trouble was te secure a
lern muu living near.
" Well, " raid Dill, with a thoughtful tiir,
" I rather think that would just suit me.
My own Idea et the light way te live is
niunktn' a plpe, mid drawing a scllcry, aud
but what's thu matter ?"
" Loek yonder ! " shouted the miller.
Dau Heeper looked, nml eaw the river
nulling by like rHi's-herse, aud rising
hither every moment. A s-ceuil shout et

laughter, 'lliis object was Mrs Wl klus
astride the lingo tree-trunk, rushing down
the river. Her plpe had never gene out, aud
slie was smoking with hysterical poll ; ber

huge sycamore, neatly tiubmerged, where it
was Imiuovable.
These mink", perched in treei by frfs'iets,
are met with all along the Shenandoah ; and
nil the incidents here rclttcd are true.
Dan Heeper was thinking that it waa per
haps his duty te go te Mrs. Wllklns' assist
ance, when another cry came Irem the river,
and ue turned suddenly iu that direction.
His leg house, containing bis wife and
children, had been swept oil by the freshet,
and was slowly floating by. At the window,
nearly under water, his peer wife, with ber
erins round the children, was calling loudly
le him. Dau Heiptr was a brave lellew,
and, plmigl.ig Inte the boiling current,

been caught by the satue eddy that saved
his mnther-ln law ; It turned rnuud slowly,
approached the nhere, aud liually rested

Dan Heeper swam te the house, and
climbing in, caught his wite in his anus.
Then he bugged nil bis children, aud cried
