Scribner, & Co. ‘We 'bave been more than usually interested in this work. If we mistake not it will become a classic emong biblical students, 1t is the product of two pens, and the story that depends from that fact is an affect- ingone, Dr. Macdonald was, years ago, fascinated by the cbaracter of the apostie whom Jesus loved, and pursued his researches among the stray bits of sacred Mterature which were hidden under the dust of our oldest librarics with au ardor which promised grand results, He collected his facts slowly, arranged them caretully and bad almost Gnisbed his work of love when he was taken i!1 and died. Dr, Howson, eminently fit- fed for the task by a scholarship which is emed on doth sides of the ocean, undertook the somewhat un- Zratetal tauk ot editing the work and completing t, ‘nd has done it with commendable faithiuiness, Messrs. Scribner, Armstrong & Co, have ovidently Jpared no pains to make their part of the task worthy ef the subject matter. Tho paper and letterpress are everything that could be desirea, and the numerous illustrations, maps, pictures and portraits help to make Becomplete whole, We are especially gratifiod to find that Dr. Macdonald combats the usually received notion of Bi John’s character. From certain phrases in tho Jew Testament wo are naturally led to suppose that ht, Jobn especially mild even to efleminacy, In Dis gospel he attracts by his emphasis of love, He Bever wearies, cither in his gospel or his epistics, of alking about the love which God bears toward us, and one of his favorite phrases 1s “Little children, love one enother.”” From these circumstances we have been led into a grave error concerning the apostic’s temper- ‘wment. He was undoubtedly a man of strong and positive elements of character, a man o! great boldness f utterance and decision, He might have been a Bader of the rebellious Galileans if he had been born a Jeneration oarlier, for he possessed a flery ardor aud a mighty will which wore capable of doing great good or pil, according to the direction which was given to them, The searching eye of the Lord found bim, and fhe became His steadfast fricnd from that moment Tho gospel of St, Jobn and parts of his epistles are printed with the biography, with copious and very patisfactory notes, Then follow the always interesting degends which stand on the boundary line between history and fiction. They wili be read with profit and pleasure. We heartily eommend the work as a valuavie @ddition to the student's library. Pins Nezpizs. By the author of “The Wide, Wide Worid,” Robert Carter & Brothers, . The name of the firm which issue this volume isa mficient guaranty of its character, The Carters are yonscientious, and sometimes even over careful in their mlection of the works which they indorse by putting heir imprint upon them, All the literature which somes from their presses has a moral tone, if not a firectly religious tendency. It is pleasant in those fays wnen novels of questionavle piot and influence we as thick as leaves in Vallombrosa, to be able to put ‘vbealthy story into the hands of the young, one that will not overheat the imagination, or inflame passions That oaght to be repressed. Some parte of ‘Pine heedies” are vastly more interesting than others, but \t is thoroughly healthy reading to theend, Unlike gust works of the kind, it is an appeal aud astimulaat, mot only to the romantic element in human uature, but to the intellect and conscience also, One can rdly read its constant allusions to some of the most fascinating events of history without being excited to further study. These allusions really compose the buik of tho volume. It seems as though the author bad gatherod from extensive reading apile of pearis, aud then wrought a dialogue, with a slender plot ander it all, in such way that tt led up to these pearis one after tho other until they were all strung to. gether. It isagreat refreshment to get out of the atmosphere of many of the sensational works of fiction which fll our libraries, and foliow the plot of story which does not depend on a mysterious murder or a package of poison or a couple of ruffians with slouched hats for its interest or its excitement. We commend the volume to all who want to bo amazed without being over stimulated. Tux Convicts axp Turin Cuinorex, By Bertho'd Auerbach, Translatea by Charles 1. Brooks, New York: Henry Holt & Co. Mr, Holt's ‘Leisure Hour Series” is famous for the Food taste cisplayed in its se'vetion, und bas become one of the most popular series of the day. It would be bard to name one tiresome or dull book in the seventy- odd volumes now on its list, A recent addition to this series 1s “The Convicts and Their Children,” by Ber- shold Auefbach. This story has a groat many of its silted author's peculiaritics of style, whilo it differs very materially trom ‘Wn the Heights,” or the ‘Villa on the Rhine,”” “The Convicts’? was evidently written with an object, and that to prove that an ex-cqnvict May become a useful member of society. The two cynvicts who are the hero and the heroine of thie story, Jacob and Magdalen, although they served a term of years, one in the penitentiary and the other in ‘he House of Correction, could scarcely be called Criminals, Jacob knocked a man down who abused him, the man’s head struck against a stone and he fell insensible with his feet tn a pool of water, where he he remained ail might, Jacob having to leave bim to give chase to his team, which wag running away, The man was taken down with fever and died, and Jacob, on whom the Judge had some compassion, owing to his youth and good character, was let off ‘with five years’ solitary coufinement, Magdelen was thrown into the House of Correction on a fulse chargo of theft, so that she was entirely blameless, At the expiration of their terms of imprisonment these two Young people were hired by members of the Society for the Benefit of Convicta, in tho samo village, where they met for the first time, Jacob and Magdelen were no ordinary people. They were capable, intelligent and honest, They loved and married. Jacob became 1 fagman at a railroad crossing, and he and his good wife reared a family of six children, who, with one exception, did honor to their name. Dr. Heister, a judge and a worthy man in every way, was the devoted friend of the ex-convicts, id did everything to make them forget the past. But it was a diMeuit task, lt rankled in thelr bosoms like © thorn As his daughters were asked in marriage Jacob had to make his humiliating cunfession to his sons-in-law.. Fortunately, they wor men of sense and were not disturbed by tho newa, ‘Une was a baron and a missionary, the othor a farmer. ‘There is nothing exciting about the book, but you Decouie so interested in the family on the railroad that You cannot skip a page of their story.

The bull usually occupied by the Beethoven Maen- nerchor presented a unique appearance. Painted on the walls were the pictures of the great masters of German music, but they were all cuveloped in blood red flags, Everything about the celebration was blood red, from the tickets of admission to thoribbons, neck- ties and roses worn by the audience. A great number of flags, emblems and inscriptions, all blood red, deco. rated the hall, " Right behind the speakers’ platform wasa great lurid banner with tho significant legend, ‘The spirit of the Commune expands us the axe of the executioner falls upon the necks of the martyrs.’? On one side of this was a flag bearing the word ‘-Unity,” on the other one displaying Freedom.” Next to this was a French motto in scarict letters, as follows:— Union des Peuples, Republique Svciale Universetie. Yas de Devoirs sans Droits. Vasde wroits i» Devoirs.

A uumber of the dames and demoizelles wore red rib- bons und red roses, while muny of the mon displayed seurlet neckties, The vermition color of the whole pluce contrassed strangely with the wild and placid character of the spectutors, among whom there were w large proportion of women and babics, The lituo Communists toddled about very happily, and showed their uoruly and revolutionary dispositions only when they kept interrapting tbe orators of the evening with their shrill shrieks, The men bore a highly respecta bie look, and seemed to belong to tho well-to-do class of our French residents. Several were quite gayly at ured, and sported white nocktics and wuite gloves, and had given themselves 4 festive air in gonerul, THE PRXSIDENT OF HONOR, The celebration was presided over by Mr. H. Hanser, but the programme, with facetious dryness, announced ag the “President of Honor’ M, Tringuet, ‘transtered to New Caledonia.’’ Tho President ot Honor, laaguish- ing in the shady retreat of that delightiul French set- tiement, wanted only the telephone to bear the praises of tis Freuch teliow sympathizers in New York. ‘The exercises were vpeued With the ‘*Marseillaise,”” pertormed by an orchestra cousisting of the following pieces:—One buss violin, One piano, one violin, one claronet, Oue Curnet, One trombone and one drum, Tho drummer did bis work with Wery enthusiasm, and the bags Vivlin Was ag impassioned us could be pussi- biy expected of such u irigid might.

It appears that « body of Cotomunist prisoners, numbering thirty, were engaged in building a bospital for the town of Noumea, on the Uttle islet of Freycinet, about three-quarters of an hour by sea from the penitentiary settlement of Now The workmen were conveyed to Freycinet every morn- ing in alarge open boat without masts or oars, which was tugged to and from the site of works by a well armed and equipped sieam sloop. Tho project was to seize this vesscl, either by force or surprise, at the moment when it was brought close to the open boat, and to gain the Pomt aux Sables, on the Island of Nou, where a confederat was to be in waiting with provisions and such additional appar- atus as would be necessary for reaching the high sea ALA MOCTEZUMA, Seizing their opportunty when the vessel was uuder- manned the Communists, by a weli-schemed artifice, persuaded those on board to go on shore and then took possession of the sloop. Viard was the chief actor 10 the plug It was he who devised the plan by which those in charge of the vessel were induced to with- draw, He was obliged to accompany them some little distance inte the isiund, but svon feigned ap excase to Jeave them.

Here the treman jumped ashore without any oppo: tion being nade on the part ol the Communists. astonished employé of tne government said, turning to Viard, the leader of the party, should not hav thought that of you. However, it does not matter; you are brave fellows and you have net done an; hartn to me’? “Why should you bear us ill-will??? replied the convicts; **we seek only liberty.” ‘Ti PURSUIT, As soon asthe froman was liberated he gave the alarm to the imbabitants of the island, The vessel hud Freycinet ut ball-past nine, and tt wus now bail- pastten o'clock.

Two of the crew bad preferred to throw then selves into the gea ruther than submit to be conveyed back to their prison, a fate that now seemed inevitable, One of the two perisued; the other, Trinquet, was picked up by a jollyboat from the Seudre. Ina few minutes more the crew of the Bulari was transierred Wo the decks of the same vessel, the hands o! the latter appearing to sympathize with ‘the prisoners, and the first engineer remarking, ‘lt 13 well you stopped; in Jew minnies more there would bave been an explosion. The fact was that every One on board kuew that the boiler and a portion ot the machinery were red hot, “You might have given us a ow minutes more," said the prisoners, “Fools, did you want to die?’ returned the captain of the government vessel. “We uid,’? was the reply. The prisoners were all brought back to Noumea, HOW MONEY GETS ASTRAY, [From tho Pall Mall Gazotto.] Tho Bhootan expedition belongs to history, though not the most agreeable or glorious episode tn the an- nals of British India, Ono little incident, however, stiil remains to be recorded, Wecannot, indecd, vouch for its absolute accuracy, though it is not only gener. ally credited, but it 18 also credible, The story runs thus:—Under the impression that the ‘little war’, would be fought out to the ‘bitter end” the govern, ment orderod three lakhs (£30,000 worth) of copper comage to be despatched to tbe aorthcastern frontier for the use of the troops It was forwarded accordingly—a goodly assort- ment of half anna and quarkr anna pieces, pies and pice. - The town of Rungpore was reached in salety, when tidings of peace arrived.

The objection ‘was not unreasonable, but there was this difficulty in the way of its removal, that the gunny bags bad been devoured by insects or otherwise destfoyed, and that the copper coins had run together ahd become welded into masses.
