the engine hung on the centre, and some delay occurred before it was pried off. During this critical period, Captain Carlin, in answer to threats and inquiries, declared his boat to be the Live Yankee, from Port Royal, with dispatches for the admiral. This deception was not discovered until after Carlin had backed out and his vessel was lost in the darkness. Shortly after this bold attempt of Captain Carlin, in the summer of 1863, to blow up the S New Ironsides, Mr. Theodore Stoney, Dr. Ravenel, and other gentlemen of Charleston, had built a small cigar-shaped boat, which they called the David. It had been specially planned and constructed to attack this much-dreaded naval Goliath, the New Ironsides. It was about twenty feet long, with a diameter of five feet at its middle, and was propelled by a small screw worked by a diminutive engine. As soon as ready for service, I caused it to be fitted with a Lee spar-torpedo, charged with seventy-five pounds of powder. Commander W. T

m melodramatic, the handling is sure and direct, for the reason, as he says of The circuit Rider, that whatever is incredible in the story is true. No novelist is more candid, few more convincing. With greater range and fire he might have been an international figure as well as the earliest American realist whose work is still remembered. Mention should be made here of Col. John W. De Forest (1826-1906), who has not deserved that his novels should be forgotten as they have been, even Miss Ravenel's conversion from secession to loyalty (1867), which survives only in the thoroughly merited praise of W. D. Howells (My Literary Passions, 1895, p. 233);but which still seems strong and natural. It was perhaps a certain bareness in Middle Western life, lacking both the longer memories of the Atlantic States and the splendid golden expectations of California, that thus early established in the upper Mississippi valley the realistic tradition which descends unbroken through the work of

The Washington Light Infantry, 1807-1861. The ante-bellum history of old Charleston's loyal sons was so continuously prominent in the annals of Charleston, for more than half a century, that it is only in order to refer very briefly to it here. Founded by William Lownes in 1807, upon receiving the news of the Leopard and Chesapeake affair, its roll of thirteen commanders down to 1861, reveals the character of its membership-Lowndes, Cross, Crafts, Simons, Miller, Gilchrist, Ravenel, Lee, Jervey, Porter, Walker, Hatch, Simonton. The public observance of Washington's birthday, by an oration and social functions, on 22d February, was an annual feature of W. L. I. life, and the annual response from the community indicated the highest public favor. This observance was continued up to and in the war period, the last celebration taking place in Fort Sumter while the command was part of the garrison of the gateway of Charleston, on the 22d of February, 1862.

ng accident. --About 12½ o'clock P. M., on Saturday last, a fatal accident occurred at the Colleton Lime Works, at the head of Cooper river. A valuable and trusty negro named Toney, about twenty-nine years of age, was taking from a lime kiln a quantity of lime that had gone through the burning process, and while so engaged, the kiln fell down, burying his body among the burning sand.--Mr. Lachicotte, the superintendent, was standing near, and and to move rapidly out of the way in order to escape being covered by the hot ashes and sand. Immediate efforts were made to take the body out, and it was recovered in about three quarters of an hour; but, as the kiln had been under the action of fire very steadily for months, he must have died almost instantly. His body, in parts, had nearly all the flash taken off, and, for a short time, the poor fellow must have suffered dreadfully. He was the property of Messrs. Ravenel & Stevens, owners of the Lime Works.--Charleston Mercury.
