 THE ATtAsuo for 1867 starts grandly. It begins with q novel by Oliver Wendell Holmes, which promises something as ra- cy as the Autocrat, the Professor, or Elsie venner. The opening chapter showing up the newspaper style is exceedingly cute. His description of Yankee county society, is as able as true, and he speaks with his usual feeling of ''that enormous Sabbath day pressure which weighs like forty at- mospheres on every true Puritan." We see, however, indications which trouble us Eef another attempt, like that which made Elsie Venner so nearly failure, to weave the thread of alove tale around the specula- ions of physician on the fphenomena of the hereditary transmission of personal traits from parent to child. s5:-., :. e7 " It is by no means certain that onr in- |dividual personality is, the single inhabitant of these our corporeal frames, ., says MT. Holmes. Again; This body in which we journey across the isstthmus between the two oceans, is not private carriage, but an nom- nibus. D The last trip of the Dr. s omnibus, with q arettle-snake on board, waga very un- pleasant one; and we sincerely hope the Indian he takes along this time, will not prove an equally unpleasant passenger.
