A Jolly Fellowship—The Wellfields— Magazines—Books Received— Literary Notes, w BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW, ‘The sitceess of “A Fool's Errand’? was phenomenal, It was probably as inch of a surprise to author and publishers as to the public. Ag usual it Jed to a number of fintta- tions, and politieal novels were niultipticd until their name was legion, That no one of then was as successful ay the prototype was a imatter of cotirse, Just as nothing since “Unele Tom’s Cabin” equaled tho suecuss and fame of that remarkable book, untll “A Fool's Errand ” came to, If not take its place, at least to share with it, on equal terms, the popular favor, It was a novel with a pur bose, and the fact that the purpose was made of more importaney than the novel did not fn Any manner affect fis good fortune, More- over, it. was a narrative of | personal ex- perience; {t was a statement of facts; the ro- manice was buta thinly disguised medium for telling truths almost incredible and ad- Ventttres imost thyrliling, vouched for by the word of the author and the testimony of in- numerable witnesses, It was the story of perseention and sociul ostracism of a man who dared to dive up to his beliefs tn one section of this Republic where freedom of speech ant of action were n mockery, und where murder and cowardly assasiuatlon Jnl usurped the fleld of argument and the batlot. Nor was tea peeutiar experienee. It was written by “one of tlie fools,” but thera were many others whose trinls were dupli- cates of those encountered by Col. Servasse. ‘The tales told of the treatment of the colured race, although often told before and sworn to, roused popular indignation aud awakened those who had hitherto refused to listen, So that the purpose of tho book was accom plished, its success wonderful, and the author of “Polnette” and “Figs ant ‘Thistles ? sprang at once Into “achleved greatness.” Stmutnted by the success of “A Fool's Errand,” Judgo ‘Tourges has written an- other novel with a purpose, and we are very. much mistaken If “Bricks Without Straw” does not attain equal popularity with its pred+ eeessor from the same pen. itis equally well written, ‘equally Interesting, eaually startling In the fnety and experiences it rer cites, equally thrilling in portions, and en- forces another branch or department of the lesson which the other sought to tench, It has perhaps less originality. ‘The ‘fool! who went South was 2 man,—a soldier seek- ing to make his home among the conquered; to befriend the secently-casanelpated race {11 their desire for tnowledge and in their ex- erelse of their gnaranteed rlehts ns freed- men.

That thoy are facts and not fiction is warranted by tha authorities cited and tho statements of the writer. In “A Fool's Errand” John Savage, the quondam enemy, becomes tha firm triend of the “fool,” and ultimately accepts his political . views, So Jfesden Le Moyne cknowledres hie errors and be. cones. the wise friend and counselor.
