lisher's address of an interesting work,
fresh from the hand of the author, Mr.-
Stubbs, the accomplished wife ot Prof. W.
C. ‘Stubbs, ihe distinguished chemist, who
has recently taken a conspicuous part in
bringing into favorable public notice the
value of the sugar cane products, especi
ally in the ,state of Georgia, which, under
chemical analysts, prove to be superior io
those of even Louisiana.
But our object is not so much
to draw attention to the results
of Prof. Stubbs’ investigations, as
likely to bring about the revival
of an industry now only partially pursued,
lout promising great development ’ hrough
intelligent modern husbandry and liberal
conditions of transimrtation, but to the ad
mirable work of Mrs. Stubbs, w\o has
given a valuable contribution to the lit
oral tire. as well as to the historical nhd
genealogical collections of the South.
Her father. Col. James Edward Saun
ders, was fcorn in Virginia, of a family
Which had been settled there so far back
as the middle of the s. veiite<in'li century,
and therefore witnessed the great events
of American history in that period. The
like distinction descended to Col. Saun
-sen, who was born in 1806, lived to the
extraordinary age of 90 years, witnessed
all, and tool; active part in many of the
stirring events of the present century in
this country. Ills academical education
-was obtained in his native stale; hut his
father, moving into Lawrence county. Al
abama, he entered the University of Geor
gia in 1823 and we there find him tinder
the tutelage of th * famous Dr. Moses
Waddell, and the collegemale of some <>f
the men who have directed the
fortunes of our own great stale.
Some of these were W illiam
Dougherty, Hugh end Klnchen Har
alson, James and William I. Harris, Ed.
ward H. Wingfield. Eugenlus A._ Nisbet,
Thomas J. Alerriweiher, George W. Craw
ford, Hines Holt. William H. Crawford,
John A. Campbell, whose brilliant careers
belong In fact to American as well as to
Georgia history. So, too, about his Ala
bama home, we find groups of families
drifted from "the mother of states'*
through the Carolina*. Tennessee and
the strain of blood, des
tined io Infuse most useful qualities into
distinctive Southern character.
Entering the bar, Cos!. Saunders s*.on at
tained good smurfing in liis imperious pro
fession. Uecommg also prominent in polit
ical preferment he was a leider in (he
Legislature of Alabama. < lector for Mar
tin Van ituren In 1840, for James K. Pr Ik
Sn 1844, for Franklin Pierce in 1852, ft r
Stephen A. Douglass in 1160.
Co'. Saunders labored in vain in tho
cause of peace between ihe states; but
when ihe conflict was inevitable, he le
came actively engaged in promoting tnl'i
tary measure*, and took part w.th For
rest in his early operations in the Trnnes
see valley. He was severely woundei at
Murfreesboro. We find him associated in
the calamitous operations in the Tennes
see valley (owiircjp the close of the war.
The conflict over, lie rcsigmd himself 4o
endure the rasping trials of th" reconstruc
tion period, and turned to the cultivation,
of his fields and to writing his "Reollsc
tious of Old Times," whin he cam* a
youth to Lawrence county, down to lha
time when he had become a s -ptuag’na
rian. This he accomplished wiih marked
correctness in the work, and with thor
ough interest to thoee who are so fottu
natr ns to read hls> account of (he Chero
kee Indians, of the topography and soil cf
North Alabama, of die personal hatlti
and customs of its p, ople, of the charac
ter end careers of its conspicuous ci Izetn
and families.
This Is followed by the hist ry <f the
Ninth Alabama Regiment, which failel by
accident only lo reach he first batt'e of
Manassas, hut whose su *siqu nt carter Is
virtually a history of th;i incoroparab’e
body of soldiery, the Amy of Northern,
Virginia, so fully related by Col. Faund
ers as to l>e one of the clearest and most
attractive of the narratives of the war on
the sanguinary fields of Virg'nla.
So too, with 'he Sixteenth Alabama Reg
iment, which served, with distinction
equal to that of the Ninth, In the depart
in' nt of the Mississippi, wi h Albert Sid
ney Johnston. Beauregard, Jos. ph E.
Johnston, and Bragg; hut. this must be
dtt.wn from life sketches of Its officers and
not as with the Ninth, from a sustained
narrative of the services of the regiment.
Tbe sketches pass into those of Ala
bama civilians of distinction, and form an
admirable basis fot biographical study.
Following uron th sr laborious compila
tions of Mrs. Stubbs, is her own original,
the second anib final '1 partmont of her
work—" Notes an.l Ot m (logics more or
less complete of famllks," s;,.'Ciflc'ltlJy
nitr.ed, and of others, some of whose
tiatrt s we ret guile ae common 'o bo' h
Georgia ar,d Alabama, as for example,
1 auks. Hlblt, Billups. Clay. Duhosc, El
lklt, Goode, Harris. Hill. Hopkins,'Lan
ier, McGhee. Moore. Shelton, Tall, Talia
ferro, Tib man. Watkins and Young. These
genealogies rover nearly two hundred
i ages c’osely printed, evincing systematic
fa thful labor, which should be of great
value to the writer as well as to the stu
dent of Southern history, especially to him
who recognizes, that the histories of Indi
viduals compose In fact the history of
communities, states, and nations.
Wo take great pleasure In commending
Mrs. Stubbs’ work to our readers and to
the general public. It should he found in
every Southern library.

The January number of the Century has
a Happy New Year cover designed by
Will Bradley and printed in colors. Among
the contributors are the Rt. Hon. John
Morley, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, Rudyard
Kipling, Gov. Theodore Roosevelt,
Booker T. Washington, Ernest Setoo
Thompson, Stephep Philips and Cam.
Joshua Slocum and the artists represent

These lust occur in the decorations of Mr.
Kipling's poem, "In the Matter of On,-
Compass," and especially in ihe reproduc
tions of photographs of Antarctic scenery
accompanying Frederick A. Cook's ac
count of the two years’ exploring expedi
tion of the Belgfca. The opening of the
civil war. and the battle of Marston Moot
are Mr. Morley’s speclul themes in the
current instalment of his “Cromwell.”

is remarkable not merely as the product
of a young man in whose veins flows n
libera! adm xlure of Indian blood. Dr.
Mitchell's "Autobiography of a Qunck"
comes to a fitting end this month; and the
first instalment appears of Mrs. Foote's
"A Touch of Sun." A short story by Will
N. Herben is called “A Filial Impulse."

The opening chapters of tbe “Autobio
graphy of W. J. Stillman," which begin
the January Atlantic, form an exceptional
ly interesting and frank statement of his
boyhood. The sincerity of his tone makes
the characters and Incidents which lie de
scribes peculiarly real; mid it Is a tribute
to his native genius that this distinguished
scholar, traveler and man of letters should
have grown up from a boyhood spent In so
narrow and bleak an environment. Will
iam DeWltt Hyde discusses "Reform In
Theological Education," showing that
there are two conceptions of the theologi
cal college; one 11 torn 1 and mechanical an 1
the other broader and more spiritual, on
which are founded two classes of theo
logical schools and seminaries. In this
number also John J. Chapman voltes his
creed of polities I reform in i happy com
bination of paradox and satire entitled
“Between Elections." The root of our i>-
HUcal ills he finds In a mood of subservien
cy. "Everybody in America," he says, “is
soft ami hates conflict." And he finds
the chief hope for reform in the, growth
of a stronger individualism and a more
robust honesty. "Recent Astronomical
Discoveries” are interestingly set forth by
T. J. J.|Soe. He tells of the exploration
of the southern skies by the Harvard Ob
servatory til Areqtilpa, Peru, and thinks
the discoveries will result in considerable
contributions to universal knowledge.
