You are already aware that the Yemen expedition has for many reasons annoyed the Khedive. Itis no secret now that when the rising among the Assyrs begun bis Highness lost no time in ofering to the Porte the service of his troops to put it down. The Grand Visir, however, declined the offer, as- suring him that the Porte was entirely able to dispose of the rebelilon, and soon fol- lowed the expedition of 12,009 imperial troops and @ fleet of transport, ail throuzh the Suez Canal, ‘The Khedive at once eaw tho great milltary facili- tues in the Red Sea and all along the Isthmus which ‘the Suez Canal offered the Porte, and he ordered three ports to be erected, one at Port Said, a second one at Ismalia and a third one at Suez. This waa done some months ago with great secrecy, but the fact came to the knowledge of the Porte, and Nevrez Pasha, the Sultan’s First Chamberlain, was sent to Egypt, to ask tne Khedive for the necessary explanations, Nevrez Pasha did not visit the caval nor the fortifications, and remained in Egypt only a few days, returning to Constantinople in baste. ‘The resuit of his mis- Bion 1s that the Khedive has been summoned to Con- stantinople to give in person the twlest explanation.

Indeed, it is rather a wonder that Whyte Mel- Wood's “Athen® Oxonienses,"” Lowndes’ “Hivllog- rapher's Manual,” Nichols’ “Literary Anecdotes,’? the five volumes of indexes to the Gentleman's Magazine, tae Indexes to the leading quarteriy re- views and the indexes to the Monthly Keview have furnished Mr, Allibone a@ stupendous amount of stumng. A single reference, for example, to iitss’ edition of Woods “Athene Oxonienses,” or to Nichols’ “Literary Auccdotes,” will frequently sup- ply a dozen references to other authorities, Yet Mr. Allibone coolly sets down Bliss’ or Nichols’ ad- ditional reierences as 1 they were the resuit of his own original and independent research. This is a cheap and easy method of making an ostentauous display of learning. The most cursory glance over Mr. Alliboue’s “Dictionary” discloses the fact that not a few of the “originai” articles may be correctly 80 called, inas- much as they afford indisputable internal evidence that We materials of waich they are composed, and in some cases the entire articles have beer directly contributed by the “authors whom they commemorate, One clever young gentleman, for ample‘ enjoys an opportunity to fill almost a column, while innumerable celebrities are despatened In afew meagre lines, with @ list not oniy of the books Which he has written, compiled or edited, but also of those which he has tn preparation or which he proposes to write, adding, moreover, a catalogue of bis father-In law’s sermons, the title of ‘a book edited by his father-in-law’s second wite and memoranda of his OWN Military services during the late civil Wi De Quineey, after giving a sketch of Messrs.

Notwithstanding the colossal importance which Mr, Allibone attaches to tie “Forty Indexes of Sub- jects” appended to his “Dicttonary’”’ a rapid exami- nauon is enough to show that they do not justify even moderate expectation, anil, furthermore, that they do not facilitate refereace to the book, Let ua give a few tostances, vy way of illustration, Who would think of looking for a list of the publications of Max Muller in the article devoted to Horace Hayman Wilson? ‘The index aifords no indication that it 1s crowded in there. The pubiteations of Alfred Kiwes will be found under the name of Joseph Wilson, A list of the publications of Jobn Cameden Rotten wili be found under “Dr. Syntax,’’ because Mr. Hotten pad- Nsned an edition of that greatly overrated book. A list of the works of James R, Ballantyne, the distr guished Sanserit scholar, is also foisted into the notice of Horace Hayman Wilson, and there is no mention of Ballaatyne oisewhere in the “).c- tionary.” The muoh vaunted tnetex needs only to be compared, or rather contrasted, with uel Ss BU- perb Table Mithodique 1o obtain the ‘diet of any bibliographer, We cherish profound respect for the artuous and life-long labors of a devoted student of literary his- tory. Bat we believe that no single individaal is equal to the full and satisfactory accomplishment of | | the Hercuican task to which Mr, Ailibone, many | years ago, assigned his lersure bours, He campos ville’s writings are not vetter known and more gen- erally read. His style is essentially good, correct and clear, and most of his novels are clever, “Good for Nothing,” although possessing some powerful situationa, can scarcely be termed very exciting throughout, It may rather be described as very pleasant reading, requiring for its proper apprecia- tion to be perused with the same deliberation with which it has apparently beea written, It contains a great deal of reading which, however long they may be, 18 frequently not the case with the novels of the present day. BREAD WINNERS. Hail, Boston, ‘The moral of this story appears to be that ‘‘Heaven helps those who help themseives,” “hands having been made for work and work for hands.” Fresh from the perusal of the numerous saws of the spinster aunt, Miss Grimshaw, who figures exten- sively in the book, It 13 little wonder that we give our opmion of it in proverbs. The taleis a very simple one, somewhat iu the Sunday school style— partaking of the character of those so wittily cart. catured by Mark Twain through his story of “Jim, the Bad Boy,” who had no sick mother and didn’t break his leg when he stole apples, or get drowned when he went boating of aSunday, There may be sa‘d to be three herolne: ail farmers’ daughters, One of tuese marries a wealthy gentleman, and therefore scorns the ac quaintance of her former friends, who are employed in the same place as shop giris—“bread winners,”” Tne second, Ruth Bentley, through patient weil- | doing at her post, becomes an tunportant person, “wins bread” for ier widowed mother, and finally } weds @ well-to-do merchant. The scales have \ turned, and her former companion, who so lately swept scornfully past her in her costly silks, comes to her to implore aid for her husband, Whose affairs have become involved. The third heroine, Mirian Weston, refuses the hand of an eligible parti, and becomes @ strong advocate of woman's rights and woman's suffrage.

The scene 1s laid tu the State of Virginia, and the book, which is com- menced in the form of extracts from the diaries of several of the dramatis persona, Is filled with domestic scenes. The writer dedicates her work to her native State—Virginia—and tells us in her pre- face that her desire has been to give the public a faithiul record of home-life as it existed there privr to the great change through which it has passed. With rare good taste she has refrained entirely from all discussions of # political nature; has, 1 fact, selected that period of Virginia’s history where politi- cal intrigue and domestic life were in no degree in- terwoven as they afterwards became, and a writer could thus give @ minute picture of the one without the necessity of alluding to the other, Although Miss Magiil tells us that the portraits of the Hol- combes are not exactly taken from Nature, she yet claims that they are @ representative family of the State and tunes, or, to use her own words, that they “do exist and have ever existed in homes through the jengtn and bread The story will be found pleasant reading by those foad of quiet, every-day books, Without aay great exeitemeat ot narrative or depth of plot NEW PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED, From D.
