the tale in any particular, except that Charley is
exalted to the university, and has a quarrel
with Father Mackworth, of a more serious
character than any prior engagements, and
war to the knife is declared between them.
The health of old Denoil is giving way, and
we can foresee that troubles and hardships await
young Ravenshoe, and that he and his brother are
to be the victims of a designing, unscrupulous, and
unprincipled knave, in the person of the Jesuit
Father Mackworth. " Grains from Legal Mum-
mies," bly Knightley Howman, contains some
extraordinary revelations of old statutes which
existed until very lately. For instance, we find
that an Irish statute against witchcraft made by an
Irish parliament during the reign of Elizabeth,
was not repealed until 1821.
Tom Brown at Oxford is nearing its completion.
Tom has called at the house of his inamorata, and
has been received by her father and explained all,
'and having refused to give up his correspondence
' with Patty, they parted in bad humour, but all
will yet be explained and end properly. Capt.
East has been wounded in India, as has also Harry
Winburn, and both are expected to return to
England. East's description of his feelings on first
going into action is well described—
" I sat with my watch in my hand, feeling queer, and
wondering whether T was a greater coward than the rest.
Then came a streak of light. I put up my watch, formed
the men ; up went a rocket, my signal, and out into the
open we went at the double. We hadn't (got over a third
of the ground when bang went the fort guns, and the grape-
shot were whistling about our ears; so I shouted For-
ward I' and away we went as hard as we could go. I was
obliged to go ahead, you see, because every man of them
knew I had beaten Larry, their best runner, when he had
no gun to carry; but I didn't half like it, and should have
blessed any hole or bramble which would have sent me
oyer and given them time to catch me. But the ground
was provokingly level ; and so 1 was at the first mound
and over it several lengths in front of the men, and among
a lot of black-fellows serving the guns. They came at me
like wild cats, and hpw I got off is a mystery. I parried a
cut from one fellow, and dodged a second ; a third rushed
at my left side. I just caught the flash of his tulwar, and
thought it was all up, when he jumped into the air, shot
through the heart by Sergeant Winburn; and the next
moment Master Larry rushed by me and plunged his
bayonet into my friend in front. It turned me as sick as a
dog. I can't fancy anything mare disagreeable than seeing
the operation for the first time, except being stuck oneself.
The supporting companies were in in another minute, with
the dear old chief himself, who came up and shook hands
with me, and said I had done credit to the regiment. Then
I began to look about, and missed poor little Jones. We
found him about twenty yards from the place, with two
grape-shot through him, stone dead, and smiling like a
child asleep. We buried him in the fort. I cut off some
of his hair, and sent it home to his mother. Her last letter
was in his breast pocket, and a lock of bright brown hair of
some one's. I sent them back, too, and his sword."
Professor Ansted furnishes an interesting paper on
" African Discovery," he shows that African tra-
vellers have divided the continent into four divi-
sions, but that great tracts yet remain unexplored,
and that we may soon have maps of that continent
which will contrast with those now in existence,
as our present maps of Europe are at variance
with those of a century ago. Chapters on " Essays
and Reviews," " Accidental Inventions," and Va
cation Tourists" complete the number.
