Nana' Daughter.
A Continuation and Sequel to Emile
Zola's Realistic Novel of Nana." T.
B. Peterson & Bros., Philadelphia. Mo
rocco Cloth, $1.00. Paper Cover, 75
cents.
'Nana's Daughter" is a sequel to
Zola's world-famous "Nana," bat is in
many respects superior to that great
work. Intense and continuous action
characterizes it throughout, and every
page is of absorbing interest. The aim
is to show that evil instincts are not he
reditary. Nana is a prominent person
age in the story, but occupies a more
elevated plane than Zola assigns to her.
Her daughter, Andree, is a direct con
trast to her. Abandoned in infancy by
her mother, she is adopted and brought
up by the Naviels, an upright family be
longing to the working : classes. Nana
finds her and strives to gain possession
of her, her efforts forming the staple of
the story. Andree is tempted time and
again and subjected to trials without
number, bat remains true to her parents
by adoption, herself and her betrothed,
Lucien Despretz. All the characters are
vividly sketched, the plot is of unusual
strength and merit, and the style of com
position is vigorous and concise. The
translation ef "Nana's , Daughter' is by
John Stirling, who has done his work
conscientiously well.
Fort Fisher.
Col. Wm. Lamb, once Commandant of
Fort Fisher, now resident in Norfolk,
Va., writes to Ex-President Davis a cor
rection as regards the fight on Christmas
Day, 1864, at Fort Fisher, a day which
will long be remembered by those of our
citizens who were resident here then.
Col. Lamb's letter is very interesting
and is valuable, too, as containing the ex
act number engaged in the contest in
both fights at Fort Fisher. We clip it
from the Norfolk Virginian:
Norfolk, Va., June 15, 1881.
Hon. Jefferson Davis:
Mr Dear Sir: I have just received
my copy of your work on the 'Rise and
Fall ot the Confederate Government." I
very naturally turned to your remarks in
regard to Fort Fisher, a work which I
built and commanded until it was cap
tured by the enemy. In your statement
(p. 645) about the garrison of the fort
there occurs an error which must have
been a lapsus pennoe. You put Butler's
troops in the first attack at 6,500, and
then state the fort had a garrison of
about 6,500 men. I have b fore me my
official report of the fight, written with
great care on December 27, 1864. From
it I find that on December 24 I had a
total of 928, consisting of 738 regulars
and 190 junior reserves (boys under
eighteen years.) On the 25th I had a
total of 1,371, consisting of 921 regulars
and 45C junior reserves. "1 i
In the first terrific bombardment the
armament of the land face and the pali
sades were uninjured, and the reconnois
sance of the enemy was met with such
an effective fire of -grapeshot and small
arms that they were withdrawn without
an attempt at assault.
In regard to the last attack, you say
that the garrison of Fort Fisher had
been increased to about double the nuTn
ber of men there on the 24th of Decem
ber. In this fight I did not have, from
first to last, over 1,900 men inlhe work,
and this includes the sick ana disabled.
Besides, 350 of this force, comprising the
Twenty-first and Twenty-fifth South Car
olina regiments, arrived just previous to
the entrance of the fort by the federal
troops.
I feel grateful for your recognition of
the heroic defense made by my garrison
after sixty hours of continuous bombard
ment by the heaviest armed fleet that
ever attacked a fortification, and in the
face ot overwhelming numbers.
Yours sincerely,
Wm. Lax.

vertisement can be seen and particulars
learned at the PostofSce.
, Col. Brink has been endeavoring for
some time to have this service establish

-uecemoer it is noped to make it a per
manent thing. Miss Katie Wilson Man

who briefly reported the proceedings

In the report contained in the issue of

that, among the applicants for license of

had been a member of the Faculty of the
Charleston Medical College (should have
been Medical College of the State of

The person to wbfcm allusion is made
has never held a professorship in that
colleg, but was, during the space of fit

Mr. Kingsbury's Iddress.
We find in the Raleigh N'rzus and Ob-
server the following eloquent, but shcrt,
report of the address delivered by Mr.
T. B. Kingsbury, of this city, at Wilson
recently:
Mr. Kingsbury's address before the
Wilson school was the most thorough
and exhaustive discussion of the "Men
and l imes of North Carolina" which ha3
ever yet been presented to a popular
ldieuce. Owing to the modesty and
sell-depreciation of this distinguished
gentleman, it is highly probable that this
brilliant effort will perish with the occa
sion which called it forth, unless he can
be mducedtoIet.it go to the press for
publication. It would be in excellent
fciSteJorjhe journalists of North Can.
lina, among whom the author is so turn
ing an ornament, to request its presenta
tion to the intelligent and cultivated
masses of the State, that they may see
in the most truthful and attractive gar
niture what a noble history we possess.
Mr. Jaungsbury s tribute to those pioneer
heroes, .the daring Regulators who
fought and fell at Alamance, and who
sanctified 'with their blood the very
threshold of the temple ot lib
erty, is warm with the flesh-
tints of the brightest painting of
the orator, and is worthy of perpetuation
with the best literature of .the land. U is
persistent tracking of the spirit of inde
pendence, which has ever throbbed m the
defiant blood of our people, from the old
Albemarle farmers aDd fishermen up to
the martyrs of our civil war, shows that he
has closely studied and fully digested the
morals of our commonwealth; But the
highest excellence of this splendid address
is its faithful and graphic portraiture of
the intellectual giants who made the
professional and political fame of North
Carolina. A man may have some dim
conception of these towering, mystic
shapes as thev flit to and fro among the
dense shadows of the past. But he
never knows clearly who and what they
were, now
large m
diverse
their intellectual
statue, how
in their acquire-
ments, how supreme in their wonderful
endowments of talent and genius
how glowing and finished in their
accomplishments and how irresistible in
their life work until he hears this ad
dress of Mr. Kingsbury's. In this
partment or thought, criticism ana cis-
cussion tho editor of the Wilmington
Star stands almost without a rival. The
extensive literary resources of his fine
mind have been so repeatedly employed
in this kind of pleasant work that his
pen pictures of illustrious men are very
nearly perfect. It is well known that
Pender among soldiers, and Badger
among lawyers and public speakers are
his favorites of all the great thinkers and
werkers and heroes ot the -State. Ac
cordingly in this admirable address kc
fits up with ivory, gold and precious
stones a glorious niche for each of these
immortals in the pantheon of Jour event
ful history. Each of them and all the
others come out before us vividly a3 we
tread the shining marble under our feet,
and we feel that our gallant old State
need covet no Westminster Abbey nor
ancient mausoleum to preserve the mem
ory of her dead. They will live forever
in her "historic page. We repeat the
hope that Mr. Kingsbury will not" limit
to his Wilson audience this most able
and interesting address. H.
