ous book. It iaaurpritlng aa well aa disappointing.
Knowing nothing of the author, acd nothing of
bia plana and purposea, I think I could write a very
truthful little hiatory of hla book. It waa bogus
•a a Joke. It waa intended to be merely a aklt for
the amuacment of a email circle of frlenda, but it
grew apaco. It broadened aud deepened. There
were tlmea when the author forgot all about tne
purpose of hla aklt. aud became interested in bia
characters. Then he would suddenly remember
hla joke, and fall straightway Into the moat itupit
flummery and mnmmery. Tho conception upon
wblcb the book la baaed la scarcely worthy of a
acbool-boy. But there are wholo pages and chap
ters where genius takes the relua, aud we will go
far before finding a more perfect reproduction of
human life aud character. There are times when
the vivacity ot tho dialogue and tbe inimitable
humor of the relations between the characters and
their environment are absolutely irrwlitlble; then
there la a touch of triviality, and everything aeema
foolish, vague and unreal. I see from the literary
periodicals that “Orleanian" la hunting for a pub
lisher at the north. Let us hope that he haa revised
his book There are chapters, scenes and incidents
that ought to be rewritten or eupprened altogether.
It would be better, indeed, lor "Orleanian" to
turn hla hand to writing a now book out and ont—
a serious book. Meauwhtle. "Tha War of the

There Is another man of letters in New Orleans

Hearn haa imparted to hla tranalatlona a senstdve-

be found in the originals. A ten minutes

ANSWER TO CORRWSPONDBN T8.
W. P. H. LaGrange, Georgia, wants ua to print
tho allusion of Senator Ingalls to a future state, ia
bis eulogy on the late senator Hill. We preauma
this ia the extract he alluded to:
Ben Hill haa gone to the undiscovered country.
Whether hla Journey thither was but one step
acrosa an imperceptible frontier, or whether aa
interminable ocean, black, unfluctuating, and
voiceless, stretches between these earthly coasts
and those Invisible shores—we do not know.
Whether on tbat August morning after death ho
saw a more glorloua sun rise wlin uulmagluable
splendor above a celestial hurls >a, or wbetnurhls
apathetic and uucousclouiaihe* still sleep in cold
obstruction aud insensible oblivion—we ao not
'whether his strong and subtlo energies loan* in
stant exercisj in another forum, wbtiher hla dex
terous and airclpllned faculties are now contend,
log lu a higher senate than ours for supremacy, or
whether his powers were dlsripatcd aud dispersed
wi'h bN parting breath—^we do not know.
Whether his passions ambitions, aud affections
still sway, attract aud impel, whether he yet re
members us as we remtmocr him—we do not
know.
These are tbe unsolved, tbe Insoluble problems
of mortal life and human destiny, which prompted
toe troubled patriarch to uk ib&imomeutouv ques

L. A., Social Circle, Ua : Has it ever been asserted
f a respectable piedical authority tbat tbe spread
cancerous diseases Is the result of the increased
couso mptlou of tomatoea?
Certaiuly not. Tho impro-slon ptobably gsiued
ground from the fact that k tomato when cat in
two resembles tho interior structnreof a cancer, and
as this dreaded dlseaso has rapidly spread during
tho past forty five years, or ln other words sinoe
tomatoes came into me as an article of diet, tbe twa
were a«aocUied ln the mludsof uueduca ed people.
There is nothing, however, to justify such a beuef.
Tomatoes are *wboliiome fo*«d. aud cauocrsare
much more likely to rtsnlt frem the use of diseased
meats than from a vegetable diet.
P. W. R., Greenville, Tenn.: Is it not true that
the Baptists from the first t nj »yed complete exemp
tion from persecution in the touiheru colonies?
As a rule tbe southern colonies displayed a re
markably tolerant spirit ln religious matters. Ia
North Carolina, however, Baptists were publlely
whipped for the crime of being Baptists as late aa
Ksl. They were also bouua over to keep the peace
aud compelled to take the test oath.
A J. 8., Columbus, Ga.: I see that there is some
talk of maklug the Cbauabouchto uavigab.e from
tbe Western and Atlantic bridge down; is there
auytblug in it?
Engineers who have considered the matter thor
oughly say that the Chattahoochee can be
made a navigable river at an
outlay variously estimated from half a million to a
million dollars. The geverumeut ia looking Into
tne tcheme, and it la confidently predicted by
well po-ted federal officials that the river will be
properly channeled and freed from ob-trnciioma in
the course oi a few years, 'The plan under consid
eration, if carried out, will enable il#ht
steamers toasseud the river to Boltou, thus adding
a great water highway to Atlanta's transportation
facilities.
W. a. C„ Brunswick, Ga: Is there such a fish a*

Judge Swan, wbo passed several months on tba

black cod Is found lu th ie waters, aud la a fine
food fish. It Ls caught by dredging in deep waters
aud ls more tender aud palatable than ordinary
cod fish.
