Mr. Frank E. Stockton recently made a visit to New Orleans, and the first fruit of the trip is acharaeteristic story, "The Romance of a Male-Car." This will appear in the November Century. Mr. Chester Bailey Fernald, authorof "The Cat and the Cherub," has written a companion story, introducing some of :he same charactera. It is called "Tlie Cherub Amoug the Gods," and it will je printed in the November Century. An articlc by Mark ïwaiu written in thestyle of "The Innocents Abroad" and illustrated by A. B. Frost and Peter Newell, is a promise that magazine readers do not have held out to them every day. It is in the November nuinber of McCIure's Magazine that this rare feast of humor is to be served. üiiemight expect mucli more than ordinary entertainment from any one of the three itema of pictures by Frost, pictures by Newell, and an "Innocents Abroad" article by mark Twain; but the editors of McLure's, in their profusión, engage to serve all three at once. The Mark Twain article will consist of chapters from the forthcoming book on his recent journey around the world, and is the only part that will be published in advance of the book itself. It follows, those that have read it say, the earlier Mark Twain manner, which is undoubtedly the most popular: on a thread of pleasant travel are strung no end of wise and witty reflections, quaint and quizzical observations, comic adventures, and plausible impossible tales. Mr. Jonas Stadling, a Sweedish journalist, accompanied Andrée to Danes' Island, from which place the aëronaut took his departure toward the pole. Mr. Stadling has written a paper on "Andrée's Flight into the Unknown," which will appear in the November Century. Accompanying the article are a number of photographs of the scènes preparatory to the ascensión, the final cutting of the rope, and several views of thedeparting balloon, from near at hand to a distance of 12 kilometres, when it .was nearly out of sight. Mr. Stadling was in charge of the carrier-pigeons until they were finaliy taken into the balloon
