The first place the writer saw this particuiar style of shade in_use was London, where.as was expiained by an Eng- lish friend well up in ail braneles of history, it was first adopted as a distinctive sign or badge for restaurants patronized mainly by women of the town, and that ik, and who also greatly affected it for their own abodes. The rame au- thority pointed out that this significance of a red window shade or cloth has been recognized in certain eastern countries ever since Raab, the bad woman of Jericho, used that color in her window to indicate the character of her house at the time that city was captared aad destroyed by Joshua, as recorded in the Bible. 5 os ‘The Art Journal accepts the views expressed by Mr. Stillman in his very interestiug article on that famous statue in the November Century, to the effect that the commonly styled Venus of Milo or Melos is not a Venus at all, but a Sgure intended to represent Victory—a shiel@- fascribing Victory, who has just finished writing ‘and looks out towards the field where her heroes died, a suggestion intended to account for the outward zaze of the statue.

York: Charies Scribuer's Sons. Washington: pert Heall. One would suppose that the railway trip across the continent with its attending inci- dents had about been exhausted in the way of furnishing fresh material for book-making; but Lady Hardy manages to find something fresh and interesting to say on the subject of her Year's stay in this country. It is not an impor- tant book: that could not be expected; but the author thoroughly enjoyed her experiences in a ‘ood humored way. Her recital of themis, there- fore pleasant, and_as she is.an accomplished and experienced traveler, her impressions of what she saw and heard are worth reading, even by those who are more familiar with the subjects dis- cussed than she fs herself, while to her English lers. for whom the book was mainly written, it will have a real value for its intelfigent pre- sentation of facts and its accurate descriptions. Lady Hardy is an enthusiastic admirer of Wash— ington, which she pronounces,—except Ban Francisco, that stands unique and alone,—the finest and fairest of all the modern cities she ever saw or expects ever to sce. Less can be said of the “Scandinavian Sam- mer.” This book is not without merits as the Tecord of a visit to strange seenes; but It Is too largely made up of the petty every aay annoy- ances of travel and that kind of eyelopediac pad- ding in regard to people and places to be found in guide books,—which, we are forced to be- lieve, the anthoress finally succeeded in finding somewhere, in spite of her bemoaning the want of one in the outset of her journey. But such must needs be the case. when one undertakes to build a four-hondred-page book on a six- weeks’ sojourn in any country of which the language is not understood. Mr. Nae’s book is a collection of letters writ- ten by him for the London Times during the summer of 1878, and gives an intelligent and re- liable account of the commercial, mineral and agricultural resources of those portions of the Dominion through which he passed.

A HOME IDYL, AND OTHER POEMS. TowRsERD TROWBRIDGE. Boston: Co. Washington: F. B. Mobun. If the general reader cannot accept the esti- | mate of Mr. Trowbridge by the literary editor of Harper's Monthly—“that there are few among onr living American pocts (none,perhaps, save Longfellow and Whittier), who are more | perfect masters than he of the simple cadences | afid musical harmonies of our English verse, or | who unfold a story with more persuasive art,” | —it must at least be admitted that no one but a genuine poet could have written the title piece | of this volume. It isa sweetly and touchingly told family history, abounding in appreciative sketches from nature, and fine poetical sages. Though shorier, many of the other Peems are nearly as good, in their way, and, ood as they are, all give promise of still better things in future. Under the title “Seven Voices of Sympathy,” Charlotte Fisk Bates has compiled quite a sizable volume of extracts from the poetical and prose writings of Longfellow, Intended for the solace of those in bereavement, and arranged under the general heads of Bereavement and Suffering; Weakness, Strugele and Aspiration; Labor and urance; Restlessness, Doubt and Darkness; Self-Depial and Philanthropy; Neylect, Disap- | Pointment and Injustice; Retruspection and O!d e. These titles sufficiently indicate the char- ‘Tr of the volume, which illustrates, in a riking way, the strong vein of sweet haman Sympathy running through all of Lonetellew’s writings. The book is, of course,rather sad in tone for the general reader, but on that account it will be prized all the more by those for whose Denetit the compilation was made.

The interest in Russia and Russian affairs | whieh has grown up within the few years last | past has rendered desirable if not absolutely | necessary a brief but somewhat comprehensive | history of that country. This want has been at least partially met by the volume prepared by Mr. Nathan Haskell Dole, which, though 1n- as its title indicates, specially for young | folks, will nevertheless be of great ‘service to | the ceneral reader who desires to trace the con- | nection between the past policies of that: eoun- try and current events.

Jonn é Houghton ‘Midiin Rearranging Ghie Congress Districts. GEN, GROSVENOR'S OPINION OF THE PROPER COURSE FOR THE RSPUBLICANS—TWENTY-QNE DISTRICTS INSTEAD OF TWENTY. A telegram to the N. Y. Timesfrom Cleveland, Ohio, says: Gen. Charies H. Grosvenor, one of the leading republican managers of the state, and who knows as much about the inside work of the republican party of the state as any man, is in Cleveland on some quiet political work, and consented to give his views on the coming congressional redistricting. He thinks that there will be 21 districts instead of the 20 now existing. In his opinion three leading ideas will control the legislature in its work. First, similarity or homogeneity of inter- ests—mining counties together and agricultural counties tozether; second, that of accessibility for the communication between different parts must be taken into consideration; third, care should be taken that the republican party main- tain its just supremacy im the Consressional delegations. No district oucht to be shaped one way or another for the purpose of turning out any one now trict should be any particular person into Congress. one idea.” he said, “that ought to be followed out by the republicans. 1 think it isa leziti- mate right which they have, and that is to form the new districts so as to take close counties that have heretofore been generally democratic and put them into repub- lean districts. I would do this as a measure of fair play. and with a view of affecting favorably tothe republicans the ft elections of Sena- tors in the legislatures. For instance, Williams, Hardin, Madison, Franklin, Perry, Muskingum, Belmont, Ross, Highland, Agi Clermont, Tuscarawas, and Haneock counties ousht to be put into republican districts. Flamilton county is always debatable ground, and there are two districts. There ought, perhaps, to be two or three other doubtful, and about five democratic, districts.” “Considering that the republican majority in the state does not exceed from 15,000 to 20,000, is not that an unfair scheme?” “No, it is not, and for thie reason: If it were not for the heavy democratic majorities in the Miaini Valley and way up toward the north- west and over in the districts represented by Atherton, Geddes, and Converse, the republican majority in the state would be very larzely in creased. In other words, take a map of the state, and color the counties that went demo- cratie white and those that went republican and you will tind that the democratic majoritie: cover only a very small proportion of the entire map of the stat I donot betieve that over one-fourth of state’s_circuinte cer- taitily not one-third. gave democratic m and these counties cluster together.” Although Gen. Grosvenor is not in the levisiature, it be considered as certain that ins views coincide with those ofa majority of the repubtican mem- bers. ——— Shecking Murder in Marytand. A FATHER SHOY DOWN WHILE REMONSTRATING WITH HIS SON'S ASSAILANT. A special to the Baltimore American, from Westminster, Md., Decvinter 23, says: “At an early hour this morning. shortly after Justice of the Peace Gustavus W.

From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Every little scrap of leather that flies from the cutters’ knives in the Auburn shoe shops ts ! saved, and either goes into leather-board, shoe heels or grease. Who says this isn’t an ceonom- ical age? About two months ago a factory was started for making shoe heels in Auburn. They now have about twenty-five hands at work and are making about one hundred and twenty cases of heels per day, or about 15,000 heels. | The heels are made entirely of small scraps of upper leather. The scraps are first cut into the right shape by dies. They are then packed and seut to Chelsea, Mass., where the oil is extracted from them by a secret process. ‘They come back dry, and are then pasted together in wooden heel molds. The grease is extracted in order that the heels may be burnished. ‘They take as nice a polish as a genuine sole leather heel. All the pieces that will not go into heels are dried out, and the firm gets two or three barrels of grease per week from this source. It ls used again for leather dressing. The firm is endeay- oring to obtain possession of the naphtha pro- cess of extracting the oil from the whole prec: and thus save the expense of shipping to Massa- chusetts. Their heels are largely used in Au- burn, and sell at $1.30 to $2.40 per case. ——$——$_<o-___-__ ‘The HENNEPIN CANAL ScHEME.—J. M.
