The Land of Thor. BY J. Ross
Browne, author of "Yusef," ''Cru-
soe's Island" etc. illustrated bv
the author. New York: Harper 4
Brothers.
Mr.. McCartcr has presented us
copy of book of travels, princi-
pally on the continent, with the above
rather unattractive title. Mr.. Browne
is all excellent artist as well as writer,
and, in this work, proves himself
likewise q close observer of human
nature; and in short time makes
his reader almost as thoroughly ac-
quainted with the character of the
people of whom he speaks, as.though
he had taken trip through the va
rious countries mentioned We com
mend this book to all those persons
who are desirous of paying q flying
trip to Germany, Russia, Denmark or
Iceland, and are unprovided with the
"ready" for the trip. An active ina
gination is all that is necessary to
carry out the illusion.

by A. S. Wallace, Esq, Collector
of Internal Revenue, to call the at
tention of all persons interested to
the following extract from the law
relative to stamps-as the time ex-
pires on the 1st of August:
That hereafter, in all cases where
the party has not affixed to any in
strument the stamp required by law
thereon, at the time of making or
issuing the said instrument, and he
or they, OF any party having an in
terest therein, shall be subsequently,
desirous of af1ixing such stamp to
said instrument, or if said instrument
be lost, to q copy thereof, he or they
shall appear before the collector Of
the revenue of the proper district,
who shall, upon the payment Of the
price of the proper stamp required
by law, and of penalty of fifty dol
lars, and where the whole amount of
the tax denoted by the stamp required
shall exceed the sum of fifty dollars,
on payment, also, of interest, at the
rate of six per centum, on said tax,
from the day on which such stamp
ought to have been affixed, affix the
proper stamp to such instrument or
copy, and note upon the margin there
of the date of his so doing, and the
fact that such penalty has been paid;
and the same shall thereupon be
deemed and held to be valid, to all
intents and purposes, as if stamped
when made or issued: And proriled
furMer, That where it shall appear
to said collector, upon oath or other
wise, to his satisfaction, that any such
instrument has not been duly stamped
at the time of making or issuing the
same, by reason of accident, mistake,
inadvertence, or urgent necessity,
and without any wilful design to de-
fraud the United States of the stamp,
or to evade or delay the payment
thereof, then and in such case, if
such instrument, or, if the original
be lost, copy thereof, duly certified
by the officer having charge of any
records in which such original is re-
quired to be recorded, or otherwise

ing thereof, be brought to the said

ment to be duly stamped
