account of the arrest of Mr. F. B. San

a folded one, which took.
At that mon,ent, gray-haired, tall
and stout man entered the open door, and
said, II arrest you, Mr.. Sanborn. 2

THE ROMANCE OF THE MUMMY.
This is, perhaps, one of the most cap

French work, written by the celebrated
Theophile Gautier, who has no superior
as writer of historical romance.
This work carries the reader bacl
through more than thirty centuries, ant

and greifs, pleasures and misfortunes
tolls and ambitions, arts, sciences, ane
literature of Thebes in her grlory, wher
the names of Pharaoh the King, anc
Moses the Fanatic, were as familiar al
those of Henry A. Wise and JohI
Brown are to us. The work is truth
fully translated by Mrs. Annie I. Wood
of Marietta, whose spirited rendering o
the Boston edition of Abbots 'sRomal
Question" has placed her among th
very first of translators. r-
The work is in press by th'
enterprising Columbus Publishers, Fol
