THE SNOWs OF Y This story, by Wilbe upon ideas that border on the theosophi- cal. It is a peculiar story and life goes through it with the hue of death on his cheeks. The scene is at a Colorado health resort, where a brilliant woman who had once charmed the crowned heads of Europe with the magic of her voice is ly wasting away with consumption. Her fame had been in her voice and her voice had been all shecared for. Wken that was taken away, sbe thought she wanted to die, and yet the long'r she lived the more she clung to life. She had never intended to marry; yetshe had mar- ried and her husband “had taken herde- spite the apparent disadvantages of such a union. This woman, known as “The Mada who believes that God ia nature, exercises a power over the life of a beauti- ful and intellectual girl, “Norwista’’—a power that wears away the girl’s religious beliefs like the impérceptible washing of constant ers aganst a not too firm bar- rier. Norw led to look at things from the madame’s standpoint. A love story of a rather spiritual kiad runs through the volume. The madame asserts that, in comparison with her Ego, her body is as nothing to her, and :he launches forth this view ot marriage: ““A man and a woman whose temperaments are in per- fect accord meet aud love each other, but because there happens to be some disease back in one of the families they go differ- ent ways, perhaps to live lives of terrible discord with others.

It bears the charac- teristics of all his works—‘‘carelessly writ- ten, impatient, petulant, and in parts repel- lant, but instinet with character and mood and wayward fancy.” “Lavengro’’ did not meet the success forty years ago that it is to-day—it pleased neither the religious nor tbe polite world and yet it is said to have had many pas. sionate admirers. Barrow led a sort of agabond existence for years and his ex- s are strikingly told in the ZYPSY e of ‘‘Lavengro.” Augustine Bur- rell, M.

There are also cases where some- thing is added, in the second edition, which, without changing the general sense, renders a statement fuller, more turesque or more vivid. The editor of the present work ventures | the opirion that if Gibbon were alive and | writing at the present day his history would be very different. This may ormay not be so, but it is certainly quite reason- able to suppose that if he were writing at the present day Lis attitude toward the | Christian church would be greeted with much less of opposition than it encoun- tered at the bands of Dean Milman.

The latter part of the seventeenth century is the time and France the country of the tale, and the adventures of Georges St. Georges form the attraction of the book.

Among the improvements of that city noted are three systems of electric street railroads, an ocean outfall and internal sewer system, 100 miles of streets graded and paved, buildings to the value of $20,000, erected and a good commencement made in establishing a | manufacturing industry, to which the dis- covery of petroleum within the city limits has lent much assistance.

She feels stimulated to per. | form still more difficult feats, in the midst of one of which she falls to the ground, maimed for life. The story is cleverly and powerfully told. The love of the poor acrobat for her magisterial benefactor, hopeless as it is, is prettily deseribed, and the romance wil} doubtless add fame to its author and credit to its translator, Mary J.

Frederick Wright, D.D., LL.D., author of the “Ice Age in North America,” and Warren Upham, A.M., late of the United States Geological Survey. In the summer of 1834, Rev. Mr. Wright made atrip to Greenlaad along with an excur.ion party, on board the steamer Miranda, and in connection with that voyage arose the immediate impulse to the preparation of this book. The Miranda met a series of misfortunes, colliding with a glacier at one time, and then rmnning on rocks and suffering aamage that forced crew and passengers to abandon heratsea. Dr. Wright declares that the varied and exc volume, were still of no small value in giving vividness to one’s conceptions enabling one who shared them to enter ting fortunes of the Miranda,while not sufficient to form the framework of the of the unique condition of Greenland, with better understanding into the de- scriptions given by others, and to combine them into & more satisfactory general clares that while it is the purpose of the work to emphasize theimportance of voice culture in its relations to literary and gen- eral culture itis not its purpose, except incidentally, to impart elocutionary in- struction.

On arriving at vears of discretion the hero secures a position in a mercantile concern, at the same time making the acquaintance of the son of the principal. This son, Herbert Lord by name, pos- sesses out-of-the-way socialistic ideas touching the equal division of wealth and kindred matters. His theories are not | favorably accepted by his father, who, after cursing him, dies of apoplexy. Then appears on the scene Siegfried the Mystic, who, it appears, is the personage who is responsible for Herbert's views. = Siegfried is a fanatic with supernatural powers, and his iémuenca over young men is well pic- tured. As a piece of writinz Siegfried the Mys- tic may be favorably regarded. But it is difficult to see what purposes are served by | works of this character. They are the pro- ductions of idealists, visionaries and ‘““dreamers of dreams,” and advance ex- ploded notions and theories impossible of practical execution. 3 [Boston: The Arena Publishing Com- pany.

This is another piece of historical fiction, founded on incidents accompanying the downfall of James Stuartand the triumph of William III of England. J. C. Snaith is the author and the story is supposed to be related by its adventurous hero, “Sir Edward Armstrong, Baronetof Copeland Hall, in the County of Somerset.” The Monmouth rebellion. and the rise of Wi liam of Orange have inspired the author of Supervisors. One of the noteworthy features of the map is the division of the county into supervisorial districts, and furthermore, the map contains a_useful index of the 312 mining claims in that county. The map was prepared at the in- stance of Shelley Inch, a business man of Placerville, whose enterprise in the prem- ises is worthy of commendation. THE STUDY OF HOMER, William Cranston Lawton’s “Art and Humanity in Homer” is a group of essays | intended to aid in stimulating readers to a wider course of Homeric study. The subjects of the essayist are: *‘The Iliad as a Worik of Art,” “Womanhood in the Iiiad,” “Closing Scenes of the Iliad,” “The Homeric Under- World,” *Plot of the Odyssey,” “Odysseus and Nausicaa,” and “Accretions to the Troy Myth, after Homer.”” Acquaintance with the Iliad and Odyssey are necessary to a thorough appreciation of Mz Lawton's work, al- t{l‘uugh he has endeavored to make his es-ays, as far as possible, complete and in- telligible 1n themselves.
