OF all the ascertained imagined incidents in the

and appreciative criticism of his life and works
| Whether the translation is better or worse than
the many attempts which have preceded it, is

literary point of view, all of necessity are and will
be worthless, except, perhaps to as evidence
OF their authors scholarship, or as what English
school boys call "crib," to help dull or lazy stu
dents along in their work. a "a.

These works, in their way, are both very remark
able. To do justice to the merits of the Household
of Bourerie, would require more space and more
elaborate analysis than COMFORTS with the space at
our disposal. 1t is tale which many will at once
pronounce unnatural; yet improperly, for where
the laws of the material world are not deied, it
becomes question of extreme difficulty to decide
| when the subtle and mysterious influences which
control or suggest human conduct, may not have
bad their legitimate operation and observance.
Within the limits of physical possibility it is not
too much to say that whatever one mind may con-
| ceive another may execute and the trite remark
that "truth is stranger than felton, is itself SO
true and so comprehensive in its truth to bring
within its range all fiction not absolutely mracu-
lous. Improbability is another thing, yet, to a
certain extent, improbability must be regarded as
merit in work of the Imagination, rather thsn a
valid objection to it.. Although all that is
beyond mere common place may not be improbable
| oil hat 10
worth recording, yet it is the rare happening
of an event which makes it improbable, and when
the event is of sufficient Importance, its improba
bity thus becomes its principal feature of interest
The Ho"sehoid Of Bouno"ie is a strange talo--no
likely to happen any where-suIi less likely, to
have happened in Nirginia-yet in its development
alike of plot and of character, it bears the unmis
taxable evidence of genius and cultivation. We
ave not read a recent novel written with euua
force and elegance. r
Louje's Last Term at st. Marys is book of ar
entirely different class. 1t may not be Urai but al
will concede its rraisembance. 1t is slight tale
schoolgirl life, the of which is laid at Bishor
Doane's famous school at Burlington, New Jersey
The time embraced is but few days, yet in this
brief space, as in a classic drama, where all the
unities are preserved, we have framed for
US perfect picture, of most interesting
phase of life. Tom Bro,on's School Days at Rugb,
is book which has won its author deserved fame
yet, we think that Louie's Last Term is one which
in any respect, will bear a favorable comparison
1t is indeed charming and beautiful sketch, which
with more than usual confidence, we commend t.
our readers.

HOLIDAY STREET THEATRE.-Now that the cleo

Fair houses have gathered at Holiday street sine
Mr.. Booths engagement, but not such as his claim
upon us as one of the first if not the first actor
of the American stage, and Baltmorean shoulC
command. few weeks ago the Boston theatr
was crowded nightly during his engagement there
which would have been continued but that preyiou
= arrangements to visit this city had been entere
into. His character of Hamlet, in which he appear
| tonight, was highly appreciated in that city, h
playing the part for six nights in succession t
a thronged theatre. The papers state that larg
parties could not even standing room in tn
lower part of the house. The Post SAYS:
Mr.. Booths Hamlet is, to a Boston public, one O
the most pleasing of his presentations. Very nue.
better does he play the part than when he first es
sayed it here. Experience, study and care hav
soothed the rough points, and now be acts tn
student-prince most admirably. His soliloques ar
read with propriety and Judgment and while speak
ing them he carefully preserves the manner of tn
philosopher, which too many Hamlets are apt t
lose sight Of The interview with the Queen, a
rendered by Mr.. Booth, will long dwell in the mem
DRY of the spectator as showing the young actor il
his most brilliant light. In it his genius is mos
evident, his manner most natural, his power ovel
the hearts of his auditors most complete. s.f 81.
