Griith Gaunt

This subject seems almost stale one, and we approach it doubtingly, questioning whether any one cares to hear what we wish to say about book which lies already under an avalanche of crit |icism, favorable and otherwise.
 Mir. Charles Reade stands in the first rank of Kv- ing novelists in many respects he has no equal :; taken all in al it is doubtful whether he has any s perior. No one handles our language with more ease and force, few with more neatness or |delicacy His power of fpcturing men and women as they.are, we believe no living man equals.

 first half of the present work is not, however, lia ble to that objection it is only when it begins to deal with crime that it becomes disagreeably sen sational
 The subject is jealousy. Griffith Gaunt, the he TO, is an English country gentleman of the past century, dullish stubborn fellow, ordinarily, but the very devil when aroused. He is in love with Kale Peyton, a high-spirited young gentlewoman,
 an enchanting embodiment of most feminine per fections and imperfections including an intense love of admiration. She has two snitors of whom
 she chooses Griffith, undeniably the worse after ex- citing his jealousy to terrific pitch by flirting with his rival and for better reason apparently than because his passion so far exceeded the

The London Morning Post has made the myste-
rious announcement that "there is reason to be-
on the part of the king of the Greeks, calculated
to add very materially to his position as a Euro
pean sovereign but that fit is understood that
the arrangement must be dependent upon certain
the Greek government in the eyes of the world.n
1t is said the paragraph refers to a report that the
king has offered himself as suitor for the hand of
the Princess Louise. There is another report
Gladstone, who is about to visit Rome, WILL at her
majesty's request, extend his orney to Athens, in
order to ascertain the position of affairs in Greece,
and in word, the eligibility of the alliance which
has been offered to her daughter. The Times says
it has reason to believe that the report of such
marriage is entirely unfounded.
