LATE PUBLICATIONS.
The May number of the NORTHERN
MONTHLY reaches US very promptly, and its
contents are even more than ordinarily in
teresting and varied. The leading article is
by Gen. Francis A. Walker, managing editor
Of the Springfield Republican, and is entitled
"The Greenback Era" Next comes Mrs.
SpOffOrd's The Thief in the Night, which
has nearly reached its close, Easter Day a.
Rome is another Of those brilliant travel
ler's papers which proceed from the pen of
the Rev. DR.. Charles s, Robinson. "a
/ Huguenot Family " is a capital sketch of
the war, by r. Sayles. DR.. Beard con-
| tributes an article that will doubtless attract
| great attention on account of its trenchant
| defence of the use of wine, tobacco, opium,
etc. 1t is called 'sThe Proper Use Of Stim-
ulsnts and Narcotics" is well written, and
sensible in its conclusions. Lovers of chess
will find The Red knight - very delight
full story. Mr.. Manson's Concerning Ec-
centric People, is very pleasing collection
of anecdotes upon the title topic "Olaude
Gueux" Is translation from one of the
earliest writings Of Victor Hugo, which has
passed out of print in France, and has never
appeared in an English dress. 1t has an
especial literary value as containing the
germ of Jean Valieau, the great character in
lies AiseraJlss." Besides, the story turns
upon the question of capital punishment,
now a matter of public consideration. The
| last article in the number is one on "The
National Debt" and is said to be written by
an eminent New York fnaDcier. 1t upholds
the gold-psying theory. In the Editorial
Department there are half dozen capital
poems, q Piscsttqua river adventure, and
some excellent Book Notices. This number
commences the New Year of the Northern.
