REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS

UNDER TWO FLAGS. BY "Ouida." j. b. Lip
pincott q Co.
The series of novels of which "Under Two
Flags" is the latest, are all marked by one
excellent quality. They are exceedingly
piquant, and hardly page occurs in the works
which does not contain at least one striking
sentence. This excellent supply of spice en-
livens what would otherwise be exceed
ingly improbable and rather Aorid works, and
gives them a charm which is appreciated
rather by gentlemen than ladies' With this
exception, we have much to condemn in the
works. They are not Of that irreproachable
morality which characterizes Miss Edgeworth.
They are, in fact, decidedly French, and can
hardly be considered far behind Georges Sand
in the loose morality which abounds in
them. The story of the present one is well
woven together.
The hero, BERTHE Cecil, is one of that neglig6
class so much in favor with writers on
British high life, who lives utterly regardless
of all restraints, and does Monte Cristo
wonders without being the possessor of a
chilling How tI.e,- manage IL not in
formed, but all their debts contracted are
CLOSED over with fashionable tint, which
seems to convince the writer, at least, that it is
perfectly proper for man to run up bills he
knows he can't pay, and that there is great
difference between such conduct and theft
but we poor blind mortals are not so certain
on the subject. The one redeeming quality in
BERTHE is his love for his younger brother, who
is his protfg6, and who, by-the-by, is a de-
c!dedly unpromising young whelp. AT last, a
forged check on Lord Rockingham appears,
and BERTHE is accused of being its
author. Rockingham is bosom friend of our
hero, and does all he can to save him, but the
Jew-a merciless Jew, who cannot be bought
off-will prosecute, and our guardsman mounts
blooded horse and flies the country. He
enlists in French regiment in Algiers, where
he remains for twelve years incog. Mean
while his father, the Viscount, dies, and so
does his elder brother, and Bertie becomes a
Viscount. At last he strikes superior officer
who had insulted him, and is condemned to be
shot. Just at the critical moment Rocking
ham, his bosom friend, discovers his iHcOg. and
tries TO save his life. He fails, and the scene
of his friendship is most effective in the book.
Just as the volley is fired, oivdndtere, called
Cigarette, throws her arms about him, and saves
his life at the risk of her own. A respite
and pardon arrive at the same time, and his
brother confesses that it was he who forged
Rockingham's name, and that to save him BERTHE
had suffered for twelve years. He returns to
England, enjoys his title, rides his horses,
and marries the lady of his love. Such is the
story. Filled with side characters, whose
chastity is not unimpeachable, with the Qeni-
monde and their noble admirers, it makes a
decidedly interesting tale, although as we
have said, we cannot recommend it for family

evinced on the part of the reading American

writings and views of that extraordinary man,
who is either saint or a mad enthusiast.
In order to crafty this desire, Messrs. Lip
pincott have issued several of his works, and
the last, and most valuable, is the one now be-
fore us. 1t is his own expression of his opinions

had been sailor. He had been 10 some tight

call on God in trouble, and had not been disap-
pointed. But the faith must be joined with
practice. Praying only, without using effort,
Is not enough.

INDUSTRIAL PROSPECTS.

IF the reader who has the curiosity to make
the experiment, will take pair of Divders, and
apply them to the map of North Carolina, as it
forms part of that of The United States, by put
ting one prong on Cape Halteras, and the other
on the Western limit of Cherokee county, he W III
find the span something more than equal to the
distance from Raleigh to Niagara Falls. This
simple measurement will bring to the mind at
once realization of the vast territory embraced
in the State limits; and if we reflect that North
Carolina extends from the sea shore, in about "a
deg, to and beyond the highest ridges and peaks
of the Allegheny range of mountains, we shall
the more easily appreciate the statements of
Naturalists, that its soil produces greater varie
ty of plants than all the Northern States put
together. The North Eastern counties are almost
tropical in climate and productions; while the
middle and Western portions of the State, owing
to their elevation, are assimated to the North
ern States. The side of European immigration
will he directed this way 10 a few years, from
| various causes. The abolition of slavery has re-
moved an obstacle, the settlement of the North
west, and the occupation Of the best lands will
weaken the Inducements TO 60 in that direction;
while the spafseness, the abundance of timber the
cheapness and fertility, and the saubrity of the
climate of this State will become better known.
When we reflect that the European hives will
pour forth their swarms in greater numbers here
after than heretofore and that our own North
ern States will do likewise, owing to their supera-
bundant populations, it is not TOO much to an
ticipate that the tide Of immigrants will begin TO
flow into Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee,
within three or four years equal to what the
North West has experienced during the last
twenty The era Of great prosperity, then, Is at
hand. Towns, cities, manufactures and COM
merce will soon begin to spring up and tue whole
aspect of Southern society will he changed In
twenty-five years, 10y which time the population
Of the United States, within their present limits,
will amount TO seventy, or seventy-five millions,
that of North Carolina v ill not be less than two
millions, it may he two and half millions;
and we may then expect TO see cities of twenty
five to fifty thousand inhabitants, with railroads
permeatng the State in all directions, with a wide
diffusion of education, intelligence, and even the
germ Of literature, which we can never have
until We have built cities.-Roleigh Register.
