Wild Bill which We give in this paper. The
story is we'll told and graphically illustrated.
The author is Col. Nichols, who was on
Sherman's ftsf, and whose Story of the
Grand March - has made him we'll known in
connection with the literature of the war.

article on '' Fishes,'' and one on Calcutta
The City of Palaces" The Virginians in
Texas is continued, and an adventurer by
amusing account of his trip. The remaining
prose and poetry of this number is agreeable
and entertaining reading.
"Six Hundred Dollars Year !" is the title
of neat little volume published by Ticknor
and Fields, Boston, which gives the expert
ence of family which lived, in The early
days of the war, one year upon six hundred
dollars. The book is considerably more than
dull detail of the expenses of the year, and
the management req uired to get the comforts
of life for the money n fact, Z" Six hundred
dollars year seems to have only been the
pretext fer giving the public an exceedingly
piCdcdHe dbN oAN WoiA WiAteCh
sketch of the author and her way of life for
two or three years during the war. The book
will hardly enable people now. .:even if follow
ing it's example, to bring their annual house
hold expenses within SIX hundred dollars, as
prices, when this experiment was tried, were
little more than half what they are now !;
but the volume gives many valuable hints as
20 economy, and could not but be an aid to
any one desiring to know how much can be
procured with moderate income in a city,
where the expense of living is supposed to be
larger than in the country. The volume also
contains numerous receipts for cooking.

The National Publishing Company of
Philadelphia, announce that they will shortly
publish a work by Alexander Ii. Stephens,
Vice President of the late rebellion, entitled
:. A History of the Late War between the
States-Traclng its Origin, Causes and Re
suits" The title is rather milo way OF
mentioning the fact of rebellion, and is, un-
ubtedly, indicative of the purpose of the
author to show that the war for the mainte
nance of the government against traitors was
only a struggle between states, in which one
was as much to blame as another. twill not
however, be uninteresting to read the history
of the rebellion, written by an eminent rebel
and from the rebel. stand point. We hops
Stephens will in the volume fully discuss th'
contest In the Georgia Constitutional Con
vention in 1861, in which he SO forcibly re
. sisted secession, and predicted with SO muci
accuracy the consequences of treason to th'
South. Many persons are curious to see how
after such a speech as that, he could consoi
entiously, not only be rebel, but could tax
a leading part in the rebel government.
