Literary Notes

Short stories will appear ia the November Scribnet's, by Rebecca Harding Davis and Margaret Crosby. The former writes of life on a Louisiana bayou plantation. A number of remarkably fine portraits of well-known amateur athletes in motion, will illustrate Dr. Sargent's article in the November Scribner's, on "The rhygical Characteristics of Athletes." General Francia A. Walker' artiole on "What Shall We Teil the Working Classes,' in the November Scribner's, will contain some very vigorous and plain-spoken words on the labor question. If the citizens of Detroit would display half as much interest in the matter of an exposition as they do over base ball, they would soon have a building completed.
