GEORGE W. CABLE.

One Volume, 16mo, extra cloth, &hellip; $1.OO.

Mr. Cable's sketches of life in the old French quarter of New Orleans display a freshness and originality, an insight into the character of the mixed races there, and a faculty of seizing on the picturesque phases of life among these oddly contrasted people, that give them an importance far above their value as a mere collection of clever stories. "Sieur George," "Madame Délicieuse," "Jean-ah Poquelin," and "The Belles Demoiselles' Plantation," are some of the stories included—carrying even in their titles some of their quaint attractiveness.
