10 Messrs. Blelock & Co., whole
sale and retail booksellers, station
ers, &C., $50 Canal Street, New
Orleans, have placed us under OBJ
legations for a novel sent us, en-.
titled "Not a Hero" for which we
thank them. This is a late work
and is written by Mrs. Eliza LOT.
ton Pugh, a Louisiana lady. We
have not had time to read it vet.
and cannot give an opinion of our
own as to its character, but see it
highly spoken of by the city pa
pers, as a production of considera-
BILE merit.
Accompanying the work was a
catalogue of the many valuable
works which they have on hand
at their large store, and among
them we find all the latest novels
OF the day, and also all the histo
rles of the late war, and the char
tiers who figured in it. Those
wanting books of any kind, will
not fail to get them by sending to
this popular and well known
house.

sublime devotion to principle
recently by refusing to buy lotsin
a cemetery where the interment
of colored persons was prohibited.
So would Fred. Douglas, nodoubt,
or any other man having a color
ed family like these apostles OF
color.
