The title page sets forth the char
aeter of the book pretty fully, and we
therefore copycit in full, emitting the
list of States. The European traveller
always takes with him in his journey
ings his Handbook It is growing
more in popular favor and usage
among American tourists. Faithfully
prepared and written, not in the in
terest of lines of travel, hotels, &C.,
but with a view to enlighten and assist
the traveller, our American Handbook
will prove valuable Vademecum.
Such a work this publication of APP
pleton appears to be. 1t is not in all
respects perfect, as it Gould hardly be
expected to be in this rapidly growing
country of ours. but in. the main it is
reliable. It causes a smi,ain a citi-
zen of Evansville to read that our
prosperous and growing city, the Sec
ond in the State, hasvenlva popula-
ton of12.6OO, and that theaP aUilliion
is the principal Hotel, but it will be
noticedEthat the census of 1860 is the
one from which populations are taken.
and we have not improved much upon
the old Pavilion. We will however,
have Evansville statistics corrected in
the next edition. :
CARL,S HOME: By SARAH G. CORNELL.
Crosby.
This is a juvenile story-the histo-
ry of a-noble boy struggling through
life alone. Being deformed, he is
made the sport of wicked school fell
lows, but by his patience and gentle
manly conduct, he more than con-
quers. The story is lone which will
not only attract the young, but even
readers of ripper years, and cannot be
read without an e~levating influence.

Both of these little books contain
charming stories, such as will delight
every youth, and SO simple and natu-
raj that very little ones will take a
deep interest in them. A good story
for children is not often found.

There is something very attractive
about all of Anthony Trollope's ncv-
els, and one never tires in reading
them. This new one fully sustains
his we'll earned reputation as an in
teresting novelist. There is nothing
very thrilling or wonderful, but all
his pictures of life and conversation
ere so truthful and life-like, that
there is great pleasure in reading,
and the interest never flags. 1t be-
gins, too, at the very commencement
of the story, and u sympathies are
carried along from the first for poor
Mr.. Crawley, and the interest in him
and his is successfully sustained
through the book. We do not wade
through dull chapters Of description
of places and scenes at the mmence
me,t, but are taken at once into the
plot of the book. The heroine is a
noble, charming creature, whom we
can but love and respect. The scenes,
places, and many names will be ia
miliar to those who have read other
of Trollope's works. In closing he
promises that this shall be the last
Chronicle of Basset. 1t will be a
matter of sincere regret with all novel
readers, if this is to be construed into
an intention on the part Of the author
to produce no more of his charming
