A NEW DIXIE STORY. MAGNOLIAS ABLOOM, a tale of Butler's reign in New Orleans, by Mrs. C. C. Scott, of Arkadelphia, Ark., is her latest and best book. The Gazette Publishing House, Little Rock, Ark., $1.50. From the touching dedication-"To the Knights of the Cross of St. Andrew-to that noble army of Heroes who wore the Gray"-to the end the book is fraught with sterling truths, with loving words, with loyal sentiments and memories of that great Cause so dear to every Southern heart. The story is a personal experience in the "city beside the great river" during the despotic reign of "The General Commanding the Department of the Gulf." The story is well and strongly told. "In spite of its general tenor," says a critic, "the hard facts are illuminated by the prose-poem of the telling. Such caroling of birds, perfume of wild flowers; bush greenery and the roses'clambering among the magnolias!' A vivid, exquisite pen-picture.' Another writer says of MAGNOLIAS ABLOOM, "I have read the book carefully and am delighted with its easy, fascinating style; thinking the while of Stedman, who says "The unity of mankind is such that if any write truthfully of his own life he cannot fail to touch the hearts of all.' The book gives me a feeling of kinship with the author." MAGNOLIAS ABLOOM is exquisitely bound in green and gold, the design on the cover being the work of Miss Rosa Blacknall, Arkansas' gifted girl-artist. It may interest the reader to know that Mrs. C. C. Scott is a native of Tennessee and the wife and daughter of Confederates. Her Plantation Idyl, "Sis and Bub," will be issued this summer. "Established 1857." B. G.
