out of the material first used in his newspaper work.
(Stone.)

Much of the freshest and most original literature that
this country is producing nowadays makes its appear-
ance in the daily press, but the average literary critic
fails to recognize it until it has been reprinted and
bound in stiff covers. Mr. F. P. Dunne, for instance, is
one of the journalists whose first series of sketches
attained immense recognition as soon as brought into
book form. His second series, Mr. Dooley In the
Hearts of His Countrymen, is constructed upon the
same lines as Mr. Dooley in Peace and in War. Mr.
Dunne's humor is very genuine, and his mild satire has
its distinct value. (Small, Maynard & Co.)

The new novels include several dealing with contem-
porary life in New York city. Mr. Brander Matthews
contributes what may be fairly considered as, upon the
whole, the best of these, in A Confident To-morrow,
which deals with the career of a young writer who
comes to New York, and makes his way to literary suc-
cess. (Harpers.) Averages (Appleton), by Eleanor
Stuart, is a very interesting study of various phases of
the complex social life of the metropolis, and has much
merit. Mrs. Burton Harrison, in The Circle of a Cen-
tury (Century), makes good use of her thorough knowl-
edge of the history of life in New York to write a novel
in two parts, one of which presents a love story of old
New York, and the other a love tale of the New York of
to-day. Oliver Iverson (Stone) is an amusing novelette
by Ann Devoore. It recounts the adventures of the
hero, a sort of poetical granger, during four days and
nights in New York in April of the year 1800. It is a
delightful bit of story-telling that Stevenson himself
would have been glad to own.

A Local Habitation (Small, Maynard & Co.), by
Walter Leon Sawyer, is a newspaper man's story of life
in South Boston, into which plebeian district a reporter
goes in order to get material for a work of fiction. He
has his experience, and graduates from it in due time.
Edith A. Sawyer has written a took called Mary Cam-
eron, a romance of Fisherman's Island, which is a story
of the coast of Maine, and which Harriet Prescott
Spofford in a brief introduction assures us is a "sweet,
strong, fine story," and much else that is charming.
(Boston: Benj. H. Santorn & Co.)

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's much advertised new
story of Washington life is entitled In Connection with
the DeWllloughhy Claim. The tragedy of the tale
grows out of the contrast of a New England character,
which Mrs. Burnett chooses to make fanatical to a
remorseless and fiendish degree, with a Southern char-
acter marked by all that is gracious and lovely. (Scrib-
ners.) Miss Murfree ("Charles Egbert Craddock") has
a new volume entitled The Bushwhackers and Other
Stories (Stone), the volume getting its title from the
first of three tales, the other two of which are "The
Panther of Jolton's Ridge," and "The Exploit of
Choolah, the Chickasaw." San Isidro, by Mrs. Schuy-
ler Crowninshield, carries us to the West Indies, and
the novel deals romantically with Cuban life. (Stone.)

Sons of Strength, by William R. Lighten, is a ro-
mance of the struggle in Kansas between the friends
and opponents of slavery, in which one side was led by
old John Brown, who figures prominently in this book.
It is not an elaborate piece of work, but it is strongly
and faithfully executed. (Doubleday & McClure.)

NEW BOOKS IN DIALECT.

A few years ago there was a marked reaction against
"dialect stories" in the popular mind; people said they
were hard to read. Some American novelists doubtless
went to an extreme in the effort to reproduce the ac-
cents and contractions of the spoken tongue. It was
noticeable, however, that the dialect became wearisome
in proportion as the thought which it clothed became
commonplace. Witty and original sayings do not often
suffer from association with a quaint or even uncouth
form of language. If the wit is there, the dialect will
not smother it. Indeed, there is a type of wit that nvist
have its native dialect, else it falls short. Such is the
soul.of the Irish folk-lore with which Mr. Seuma.s
MacManus has captured the hearts of his American
readers. This young author's latest production is a
volume entitled In Chimney Corners (Doubleday and
McClure), devoted entirely to Irish tales of giants,
witches, kings, and fairies. The colored illustrations
drawn for the book by Miss Pamela Colman Smith
effectively reinforce the text.

It is by no means an abrupt transition from the
native legends of Ireland to the Irish-Americanisms of
modern New York. The late Charles A. Dana thought
enough of the Mickey Finn Idylls of Ernest Jarrold to
print them n the Sun. He commended them for their
"humor, pathos and human nature." They have now
been collected and published in book form by the
Doubleday and McClure Company. They are chapters
from the life of a toy who lives with his parents on the
outskirts of the great city.

The wares that Mr. Joel Chandler Harris brings to
the literary market have toen so long and thoroughly
tested that the popularity of his new book of negro dia-
lect is fully assured. "Uncle Remus" still holds his
own, and now The Chronicles of Aunt Minority Ann
(Scribnersi bids fair to still farther enhance the Geor-
gia writer's reputation. Aunt Minervy Ann's stories
are out of her own experience. If the dreamy charm of
the folk-tale is lacking, that other charm that comes
from the illusion of actuality is always present. Aunt
Minervy tells what happened to her and to her "peo-
ple" in reconstruction times. Mr. A. B. Frost, the'
illustrator of the book, has successfully collaborated
with Mr. Harris, as on former occasions, in delineating
negro character.

We have noted comparatively few attempts, of late,
to represent the "down-east" Yankee dialect, but a
little volumecomes to us from Chicago entitled I Guess,
or, Jess and Aramlntha, by "Cousin Sary"(W. B.
Conkey Company), which seems to do this very accu-
rately. The author is said to be a Wisconsin lady.
