Russian Shores on the Black SEA and a Pear
With the Turks are two titles Of the London reprints
which possess interest apart fom their style and
mode Of execution. Out of the multitude Of works
that have been lately published on the same Subjects
there are but few that be said to be written in
fair and unbiased spirit. As authors write end pub
fishers print for circulation most English and French
works that are published on Russia and Turkey ma
turally seek to convey those impressions that will be
most acceptable to the political preudices Of the ma
jorty The books before us are not exempt from this
objection, but they nevertheless possess certain
value from the opportunities OF comparison and de-
duction which they afford. Redieid is the publisher
of both.
Appleton Il Co, have published pleasant little
volume of sketches of American character scenery,
and rural sports under the title OF The Hive OF the
Bee Hunter. The object of the author is to give
to those personally unacquainted with the scenery
of the southwest some idea Of its prmeval and ever
green forests its unbounded prairies and its noble
rivers. The book is written in an easy, offhand,
dashing style, which carries the reader pleasantly
along with it; but the author is evidently more of
sportsman than of q profound thinker or an atten-
tive student of nature. The chapters that treat of
the rural sports of the scenes that he describes
will, therefore, be read with most interest.
Far,ningdaie, by CAROLINE THOMAS, is the title OF
one of those domestic novels which seem for the
nonce to have replaced in public favor fictions of
the romantic and historical schools. The work in
question, although somewhat deficient in that
nicely Of observation and power Of analysis which
are the main elements Of excellence in works de-
scrptive of social pecuarties, is yet Of more than
the average order Of female literary merit. Apple.
ton Co. are the publishers.

A useful Manuel of R,ties for Men of ITar has
been published anonymously by some good n4tured
seaman who was formerly in the United States Navy,
and may be had gratis by applying to Appleton q
Co. This philanthropical compilation is intended to
give young officers more extended view OF the du
ties to be performed on board vessels Of war than
can be obtained from the written regulations now
customary in our service.

is not so good as usual. The two humorous pieces

Harpers for June contains two excellent papers of
present interest-one on Odessa and the Crimea
the other on more threadbare theme-the Holy
Week at Rome. Both are well illustrated. Abbott's

fair transfers from Doyle, reaches the twenty third
chapter. host OF minor articles, some of which
possess considerable merit-an editors table, easy
chair and drawer, abont as stupid as usua-and a
few excellent carcatures, which we feel inclined to

letters and reports from the Sandwich Islands, Fuh-
