‘THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1895. Miss *Ships That Pass in the Night,’” who has been in California for the past year, wasa | recent visitor at the ranch of Margaret | Collier Graham, whose recent ‘“‘Stories of | the Foothills” has met with so flattering a | Beatrice Harraden, author of success. She thus concludes a biographi- cal sketch of Mrs. Graham in the Critic of | August 31: “I have recently had the vleasure of spending two days at Mrs. Graham’s home in South Pasadena. Her | house stands on an eminence looking across the San Gabriel Valley to the Sierra Madre range—an extensive and wonderful view. Below her charming garden her own land is planted with oranges and apri- cots, sturdy trees of many years’ growth. Here she gathers around her the brightest personalities of Los Angeles, and so with | literary and other interests, with plenty of sunshine in a delightful climate and a fine mountain perpetually at her command, and the power to write down her own thoughts at her own leisure, she may well be content to live in Southern California end help a great new country to work out its destiny.” ‘\ Lloyd Osbourne, the stepson of Robert ANTHONY HOPE, imar'sTwe Authorof “The Prisoner Eyes Like of Zenda,” “The God ete. 1a the Car,” etc. MAURUS JOKAL Author of Worlds, the Sea, Louis Stevenson, has written for the Octo- ber Scribner an sccount of *“Mr. Steven- son’s Home-life at Vailima.” This isthe first account by & member of Mr. Steven- son’s own household, and is the truest and most sympathetic that has been written. It gives a remarkable account of Steven- son’s attitude toward the native chiefs and the patriarchal life that he led among them. Mr. Stevenson’s family of Samoans generally consisted of from thirteen to twenty-one young men, who were most loyal to their chief. He had a remarkable system of discipline that developed this household into one of extraordinary in- terest. “Unquestioning and absolute obedience was insisted upon. No order once given was ever altered or modified. Every man had his work outlined for him in advance, and several even possessed type-written lists of their various duties. Little proclamationsand notices were often posted up in order to correct petty irregu- larities.” Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. of the Riverside Press announce to their cor- respondents and friends, with deep regret, the death, on the -25th inst., of the honored head of their house, Henry Oscar Houghton. For a year past Mr. Houghton’s health has been seriously impaired, but he continuxd to give attention to details of business, and was in his office but & few days before his death. His surviving associates will study to keep before themselves the same high aims which distinguished him in his long eareer as printer and publisher. | HEERE AND THERE WITH LITERARY CALIFORNIANS. | Ned Townsend’s new novel, “‘A Daughter of the Tenements,” is now in press. Mr. Townsend has been asked by Charles Hop- per to dramatize ‘Chimmie Fadden.” Chimmie’s author is one of the few press- men who does not think he can write a play, but be will make a try at Chimmie, and Mr. Hopper expects to appear in the | Edward W. Townsend. role of the Bowery boy during the forth- coming season. Mrs. Margaret Collier Graham, whose “Stories of the Foothills,” recently pub- lished by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., have attracted so much attention in the East, will spend the month of October in San Francisco. During her stay here Mrs. Grabam will be the zuestof Mrs. Edna Snell Pounison and will lecture before the charming Auxiliary on a date yet to be fixed.

Inhis‘'A Boy’s Town’ W. D. Howells has given us the best glimpse \ we have ever had in literature of a boy’s heart and way of looking at things. Thomas | Bailey Aldrich’s “Story of a Bad Boy” is | sympathetic and true to life, and Tom | Brown” ig too well known to need further ! mention. But above all these must rank | Edmondo de Amicis’ famousstory ‘‘Cuore,” | of which the work under consideration, | “The Heart of a Boy,”” is a translation | from the one hundred and sixty-fifth Ital- | ian edition, by Professor G. Mantellini. The translator says in his preface that *‘Cuore” is a classic in the literature of ed- ucation. It is the journal of a schoolboy, | but it is more than that. It is a teacher of teachers. No one can read it without emo- tion, without a stirring to loftier impulses and higher motives. The book has that | all essential to hich artistic success, a be- | lief in' something, and the belief in this in- 1 stance is in moral merit as the basis of all human interest and welfare.

He realizes that the average man trembles at the knees and suffers from tongue paralysis when called upon at some banquet or similar function to re- spond to a toast on any subject. Mr. Pit- tenger proposes to change all this. With MRS.

Tasma, whose quaint pen name is de- rived from Tasmania, her childhood’s home, became known ‘to the reading world through her story of “Uncle Piper of Piper’s Hill.” The present work, which {is by far her most ambitious work, is a marked advance upon any of her earlier *Not Counting the Cost” is a strong story, well told, and distinctly characterized throughout. Nothing is slurred, and nowhere is visible the fatal amateurish touch so prevalent in our lignter fiction. There are no mighty problems set for the reader’s solution, nor 18 it apparent that the author especially aims at the production of realistic effects, but the human nature with which she deals is very simply and unaffectedly human. They are real folk, moved upon by real passions and emotions, and we are fain to accept them as we accept the peo- partly on understanding. There is noth- ing decadent, nothing fin de siecle, there is not even anything yellow about the tale. The author induiges in no epigrams or other literary pyrotechnics, but she has The scene opens in Tasmania and in the earlier cha}mm we have a charming pic- ture of childlife in that interesting land. The very spirit of childhood and the es- sence of semi-tropic sunshine are in these chapters. Afterward come the shadows, deepenins and lengthening as human ex- perience deepens and lengthens and, pre- sently, we are in the very thick of plot and counterplot, carried interestedly along through the mazes of mystery and ro- mance until the villain gets his dues, the hero appears in triumph on the scene and all the lovers get married. Which is as it should be, for, after all, fiction should please and good fortune is as logical and, in‘the right hands, should certainly be as susceptible of artistic treatment as evil. [New York: D.

Lowry might just as well, it would seem, have given this caption to his ‘“Women’s Tragedles” in the Keynotes series. There are eleven of these tragedies, and the woe of each is seven’times more woeful than that of the one preceding it. The effect upon the reader is cumulative. Mr. Lowry unmistakably looks upon life | through the smokiest of glasses, and seems | to feel very much as he expresses it in one | of his tragedies: “I have § pain—of the heart, I think; a pain smaller than the | hurt of a cut_finger, and yet it takes my life.” In this key he has pitched these mournful tales of Cornish life. He tells them with an exquisite pathos and an al- most feminine delicacy of touch, but un- lightened by any indication that he sees other than the tragic side of life. It was probably this entire lack of proportion and sense of humor in his work that made the critics jump at once to the conclusion that W. D. Lowry is a woman. As proof to the contrary, he has recently authorized the publication of his picture. There is a cer- tain delicate sensitiveness in the face that has its analogue 1n the tragedi Itis to be hoped Mr. Lowry will recover from_his pain and give us something besides these sad Cornish stories of his, for, despite their dolor, they are unmistakably the work of a master in letters.—[Boston: Roberts Bros. The Keynote Series.] THE HEART OF A BOY. To know the heart of a boy, and so show it to the world as to bring thousands of hearts into sympathy with it—this is as great a gift as a good man or woman need ask of heaven. It is popularly supposed, by advocates of the barreling up and feed- ing through the bunghole theory of bring- ing up boys, that the little animals have no hearts. Stomachs they have, that are ever insatiate: ready, mischievous hands and scuffling feet, busy brains always on the qui vive for forbidden sport, but hearts under those battered jackets.

Froma | literary standpoint the stories that com- | pose the present volume are the best things | that she has done. “In Deep Water” in particular is not too obviously a sermon, and is, moreover, as clever a bit of realistic characterization as anything the famous *‘London School” has done of late.

It is when sheis riding her own pet hobbies that she is least artistic, and one of these | hobbies is heredity. Mrs. Gardener, fol- | lowing the tendencies of leaders in Ameri- can schools of scienceis inclined to lay | rather too much stress upon heredity—to | push certain theories of her own beyond that point to which they walk hand in hand with the teacnings of science. She | does this in several of the stories in_this | book and becomes thereby too manifestly the advocate to remain the teacher, to say nothing of the artist. The publishers have done their work well, and the book is a hafidsome speci- men of modern bookmaking. [Boston: ‘ghgjj&nna Publishing Company.

There is a noted physician, a specialist on in- sanity. There is a young and beautiful woman, married to a husband whom she loves devotedly, and who loves her, as events prove, more than his own life. This beautiful young woman, when a girl of 17, was thrown by fate into Dr. Byam’s power and became his mistress. The doctor sees and recognizes her, now a happy wife, and conceives it to be his duty to inform the husband of his wife’s past in order that, following the natural instincts of a decent man, he may leave her. it does not seem to enter his learned brain that_he is acting the part of a ‘poltroon. He meets Mrs. Muserave in a retired place and warns her of his inten- tion, whereupon she arrangesa vlan, and executes it, to kill him, er husband be- comes aware of her crime and sets about to shield her from its consequences and from his knowledge of her guilt. Mean- time a child is born to the pair, which renders it impossible for them to travel. | There is a friend of the late doc- tor's, quite as nn?leunnt a cad as was the doctor himself, who sets the detectives on Mrs. Musgrave's trail. He shadows M ve to learn where his wife is and gets killed for his pains. Mus- ve goes home to his lady smeared with lood, the murder is out, and she is filled with horror at his crime. Some bewilder- | ingly fine sychological play comes in just here, in which it comes out that Mrs, Mus- E::i“ had loved her husband because she eved him to be good, and she is vir- tuously scandalized to find him capable of But the boy’s heart is there; tender and | murdes.

He learns what others before him have | done.” A wealth of anecdotes and witty say- | ings for all occasions are here given, so | that an offhand speech of brilliant epi- | grams can be readily worked up to order. | It is somewhat distressing to think that | originality is so declining that a book of this sort can have its uses. To the tired | man who needs an annex to his brain this | book will come very handy.

The publication of a series of discourses on the Scriptures, under the title of *“The People’s Bible,” which was begun more than fifteen years ago by the famous preacher, Joseph Parker of London, has now been completed by the appearance of the volume XXVIII, which includes dis- courses on the closing books of the Bible from Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians to Revelation. . The éntire work snupplies a Bible com- mentary of & high order. Few scholars of the are equal to Dr. Parker in Biblical learning, religious zeal or eloquence of In his aiscourses be to1 upon { and explanations. The discourses, how- ever are not mere scholarly criticisms upon the text, but are earnest sermons upon their application to Christian life and conduct, and all are characterized by a marked degree of force and originality. Among the leading topics discussed in the volume just issued are: “The Science of Christian Education,” “Types of the Unseen,” *The Price of Birthrights,” “Peccadilloes,” ‘Practical Proofs,” *Liv- ing Liars,” “Curipus Identifications,” “Divers Manners,” “Handfuls of Pur- pose,” “The Apostolic Album,” “In P: mos,” “What Is Your Life?” besides a large number of others, equally striking. The Book of Revelation is treated in the manner peculiarly his own, and is as read- able and as easily understood by.the young and unlearned asit can be by readers of most mature attainments. ““The People’s Bible,” discourses npon Holy Scripture.

The motive is the passion which a married woman conceives fora rather timid lover. This sounds risque, but the vivacious Gyp’s literary immor- alities are somewhat after the fashion of the typical French duel, the “unco guid” is likely to be more scarred than hurt by them. _The dialogue is very sprightly, very French, and thoroughly amusing when one is not in the mood to take life with entire seriousness. The translator, Elsie Paul, has aovne her work very credits ably. The book is handsomely gotten up, bound in buff linen, and the design on the cover _has quite a yellow-bookish air.

Theauthor goes into hissubject thoroughly, discussing not only all the principles in- volved in construction and operation, but considers the history of this class of pumps from the invention of Papin, about 200 years ago, down to recent triumphs in mechanism. It is noted, as a fact of in- terest, that centrifugal pumps, as practical operative machines,are strictly and entireiy an American invention, and that twenty years before such pumps were made or known in Europe they had in this coun- try attained a form and efficiency but littie inferior to the best practice of the present day, and in some respects superior to pumps that are now made and sold. It is noted also by the author with pride that the art of centrifugai pumping, so called, nas undergone on the Pacific Coast a de- velopment more extensive than in any other partof the world.

Here is a volume which ought to solve the problem that often vexes fond parents as to how to interest restless young folks during idle hours of Sunday. It is not a goody-goody book. In its 412 pages are sll sorts of stories of adventure and odd hap- penings, such as cannot fail to hold the attention of young minds. There are bits of information, too, and, best of all, pic- tures and plenty of them. There are long stories and short stories and some verses, such as Longfellow’s: No endeavor is in vain: Its reward is In the doing, ‘And the rapture of pursuing Is the prize the vanquished galn. Such titles to s‘ories as ‘‘Peter, the Pil- grim,”’ “Called to the Front,” “The Story of David,” “Jim’s First Photograph,” give an idea of the scope. The volume is repro- duced, evidently, from English prints, but that makes it none the less interesting. The publishers are E. & J. B. Young & Co., Cooper Union, New York. For sale at the bookstores. SELECTIONS FOR SPEAKING. The Penn Publishing Company has just issued two handy volume compilations of good literature suitable for public reading or speaking.

The other is No. 24 of Professor Shoe- maker’s best selections.. Many good things are here given. The book contains one curious error that Californians cannot but notice.

THE RENDING OF THE SOLID SOUTH. A little pamphlet which aims to bea consideration of present political aspects in the South, The author declares that ““for the first time in her history, since the days of her reconstruction, there is no longer the ‘Solid South,’ but a Scuth dis- severed, discordant and almost belligerent, reft quite in twain by an idea and defiant of that hand of leadership that has ever heretofore coerced her to party ends.” The argument of the pamphlet is for party unity in the South. “‘This is the only possible method by which the Democracy can gain a ‘fighting chance’; the simple key to a aim&le and needlesaly vexed roblem.” [Mobile, Ala.: The Gossip rinting Company. .

Many of them have ;fipeued from time to time in the pages of arper’s, the Century and the Youths' Companion, but in their present shape the author has strung them together on a half- mystical, spiritual and ~wholly poetic thread of interlude that adds much to their weird effect.
