It is noteworthy to find that Benator Stewart, himself a notorious hu- / mo{ltst. takes another view of this serious matter. As to another point raised by him there can be no dispute. It is well known that there are no happy homes in our vagt do- mains. Therefore, it was high time that a wise and great man should arise, in our midst, so to speak, and write a book which will restore the better days of the republic. Fortunately this is easy enough. As he says himself, all that is necessary is to read his book and then to exercise the franchise intelligently—that {s, of course, vote his way. As to the hook itself, while it does not cast the direct and fierce white light that might have been expected from the intro- duction on the subject of happler homes and better days it is replete with great truths, thus: ‘“No human being was ever able to prolong his existence for any con- siderable time without the use of what others produce. ages existed without using sticks, shells or some kind of token as money, the fact has rot been recorded and the They possibility of such existence is denied. 5 hr ;; um?s ofh(he ):lhrge fnrelgrn sst«am- 0!

THE TERROR. By Felix Gras. ONTINUING her translation from ‘“The Reds of the Midi,” by Felix Gras, Catherine A. Janvier gives us in “The Terror' the further adventures in Paris and Avignon, and on the road between the two cities, of some of the friends of old Pascal (young Pascalet in those days), who is frequently mentioned in these pages, but never appears in person in the new story. Little Ade- line, left in the care of the blacksmith, Sergeant, and his wife, who in turn are cared for kindly by Planchot, the joiner, and his wife, is still the heroine. Her awful mother (a starved peasant’s idea of an aristocrat) and the fiendish Jacarasse also figure in the story so vividly that one feels THE VALIANT ARMY. glad when the climax of their villainy is reached and they are borne away to slaughter. The dominating rascal, however, is the hypocritical Calisto, the fellow who killed his master and stole his property, and is now trying to get possession of the little Comtesse d’Ambrun. Indeed, he does get possession of her, and how she gets safely away from him is a good story, as good as any told of those dreadful times by Alexandre Dumas or Victor Hugo. Gras conducts his narrative of hairbreadth escapes and carnage In a bold, free, but sincere way, and with a lov- ingly lingering touch on the incidental domestic scenes. He is not the finest kind of an artist, and his needless dwelling on painful details of bloodshed seems to indicate the simplicity and crudity of his nature. But stories of the French Revolution are never nice, ana surely these savage, treacherous brutes Gras brings before us are not worse than the Spanish soldiers who fired on our wounded men and their surgeons and nurses in the fleld hospitals before Santfago. Truth is still stranger than fiction. The portrayal of Marat in this story is particularly horrible—a thing to dream about—and the gross savagery of the scene of the execution of Louis XVI is set forth m bold primary colors. In the translation there are one or two curious slips, such as the use of ‘without” for ‘“unless’ 'and the employment as an equivalent for Provencal 'patois of such a hopelessly inharmonious phrase as “‘a dead giveaway.” D: Appleton & Co., publishers.

This, the latest work by the author of “Thou Shalt Not Kill,” is a story of the New York Ghetto. The writer clalms that this'place exists as a little world, open to all, yet seclud- ed, a Ghetto without the Ghetto walls, and in that little world the scenes of this story are laid. The work deals Wwith numerous typical characters and unfolds incidents of a nature such as only Ghetto life can afford; some dis- agreeable, others attractive by their very humor and gro- tesqueness. The author has striven to portray the varfous phases of Ghetto life in America, with s shortcomings and its beautles; to delineate what is worthy and what is not, in a manner free from coloring or gloss, and with the urpose of rendering the picture true to nature.

The hall was profusely decorated with flowers and evergreens, and above the station of the noble grand there was a white dove with outstretched wings, bear- ing in its talons an olive branch, indica- tive of the peace that prevails in the lodge.
