Iu many Fespects We are not sure that it may not be re- garded as the author's most successful effort, Among old time favorites of which handsome new editions have recently been published are Hawthorne's “Scarlet Letter,” (Houghton, MIF fin & Co. through Brentano Brothers,) Mra, 8tor “Cnele Tom's Cabin,” (Houghton, MifMin & Co., through Robert Beall,) and T.8. Arthar’s “Ten Nights in 3 Bar Room," (Porter & Coates, through Wm. Ballantyne’ & Son.)

Stowe's romance, as an agency In’ the anti-slavery agi- tation which preceded the war exercised sueh sn influence such as tew books ever wielded, gud Mr, Arthur's master piece was u most potent aid In tne cause of temperance; but by Teaders who have come upon the stage within the last third of @ century the secret of their popularity and influence will not be $0 readily inderstood. It is weil therefore that the group has been reproduced, not alone that younger readers may see what swayed and pleased thelr parents, but because each volume is in ita way very far superior in style and tone to the great mass of current fiction. “The World's Workers" is the general ttle of rles of short and attractive biographies pro- Jected by Messrs.

Mr. Edwards, of late, has made the war of '76 the object of special study, and has written several tales and sketches of that riod which are marked by imagination and Rtcrary taste. In “Philip Osborn’ he hes written a graphic narrative of love and adven- ture within the patriot lines whicn will Interest the reader nnd furnish a good idea of rural lite in colonial times, ‘Mr. Ross Raymond, who has rather an un- savory reputation asa newspaper correspond- ent, in a recent letter upon another subject In- cldentully speaks airlly of “my successfut story entitled ‘Democracy,’ published In 1881.” This is, we believe, the first time any person has had the temerity to avow the authorship of the book in question, evea by Implication, and Mr, Raymond is probably not telling the trath, or is ruther sexing to convey a false impres- sion, Whether any one will dispute his title to the doubtful honor remains to be seen. “Two Broken Hearts,” by an anonymous au- thor, published by G.

HOW AN ELEPHANT TWISTED THE TAIL OF A LION—A STUBBORN BATTLE. | A New York special to the Pulladelphia | Press, October 29th, says: Among the animals | in Brooklyn are a large elephant, which for merly belonged to Coup's circus, and a magnifi- cent lion, which, for some time, bas occupied a cage adjulning that of the elephant. The fact that the lion had already killed two keepers within as many years hud caused the proprie- tors to construct @ cage which they cousidered much stronger than any of the others, The elephant never seemed tolike his black-maned companion and often evinced his disiike by putting: his trunk through the iron bars of the in which the lion was confined and liter- fulfilling Representative Richelieu Robln- | son's advice by twisting the latier's tall. ‘on Wednesday evening the elephant re- | this periormance several times, and the Managers feared that he meant mischiel. Wheao tne exhibition was closed the elephant was re- moved to another part of the building, where the lion cwuld not be seen. Keeper George Goodwin remained in the building after 1 8 had been shut off, quictly smoking a cigar. Svadeaiy be was startied by the clanking of chains on the lower floor, and, burrying down stairs andgiancing in the directiod of the ele- phant, he the had snapped the chain which held bim, and wan carrying on Just as he leased. Pile was trying to batter down the bars of the lion's cage. "In the dim light Keeper Goodw: could see the crouching form and glaring ey \ of the lion as he \k torw: ugalaet the | bars, He had seized the elephant’s trunk and a Merce fight ensued. The lion suddenly re- | leased his hold aud the elephant quickly grasped his opponent's leg with histrunk in a vain attempt to pull bim of the cage. In the meantiine all of the animals were aroused by the Sight and their roars were plainly heard a dlock away. ; Seizing his sharp stee! hook, Goodwin spi at the eiephant end, striking bim iD as again, succeeded in forcing bim back the cage. Another ki r rushed at the cage to beat back the lion, ‘The great beast on the out- side was not, however, to be quickly subdued, With w powerlul lunge be again dashed his massive weight against the bars.
