...final act of 1860, the secession of Virginia. The other papers touch in an interesting way on "The Orator of Secession," Benjamin Cudworth Yancey, "The Resources of the Confederacy" and "The Ku Klux Movement." The last two essays, "A New Hero of an Old Type" and "Shifting the White Man's Burden," treat more recent subjects; the former showing how the new South has contributed to our list of heroes in the war with Spain, the latter touching on the problem of the gradual disfranchisement of the southern negro...

"The Leisure that Makes Men," is evidently a new departure into the light essay field long ago made agreeably famous. "The Story of the Man who Sat in the Stocks," by Ezra Kidd, is perhaps as powerful and well told a sketch as needs be expected from an undergraduate pen. By far the best story in the number is "George: the Second Ghost," by E.R. Little. This glimpse of true humor, seems...
