much for the country in the war against

Already many Lives of Grant have appeared,
and many more will yet be issued some
cheap campaign documents, and others, like
this, more complete and elaborate, but we
think this will take rank among the best
issued or to be issued
John S C. Abbott has written, and B. B.
Russell Of Boston have published a Life of
Grant, in q neat volume of 800 pages. All
but the first chapter Of this work is devoted
to Grants military career Mr.. Abbott has
attained celebrity as tho author of brilliant
sketches Of military operations and move
ments, his . Life of Napoleon having
proved very popular with those who enjoy
vivid desert ption, and highly colored battle
scenes. Grants campaigns furnish his pen
with subjects for gorgeous word-painting,
and the rumble of artillery and the thunder
and smoke of battle, find graphic deinea-
ton in his pages. The severe style of the
historian seems tame enough beside his
sounding periods; as tame as the men,

win an almost bloodless battle, beside the

varied interest, written by Sir S. w. Baker,
and giving an account of his journey and ex-
periences in the search for the sources of the
Nile. The volume had romantic interest,
as the explorer was accompanied during all
his explorations by his wife. and he was SO
happy as to be able, graphically, to describe
the perils, hardships and triumphs of the
journey which the brave woman shared with
him. That volume was devoted mainly to a
description of the journey to the sources of
the White Nile, which, by the explorations
of Baker, Speke and Grant, have been set

JAPANESE REvENGE.-A story Is told
BY Tltinga, in his japanese annals. which
shows the rigor of the restraint, the severi-
ty with which small delinquencies are pun

At intervals posts are established along the
public road, and guard set to enforce the
Interdict against the passing of women.
One of these Is at the mount Fakone,
short distance from Mako, on the road to
1edo. An inhabitant of Yedo, named
Fiyosavemon n, q widower, with two children,
a boy and girl, was called to a distance
on business. He was poor, and knew not
now to provide for his children in his alb
sence; and this law would not allow of his
taking the girl with him. He, however,
resolved upon stratagem, and, dressing
his girl in boys clothes, he passed the guard
at Fakone unsuspected. He was rejoicing
In his success when man who knew what
children he had. Joined him, congratulated
him on his good luck and asked for some
thing to buy drink The alarmed father

self by another trick.
He delayed the party to be detached in
pursuit a sufficient time to allow a mes
senger with a little boy to overtake the Of
Tending traveller. The messenger found
FIyosaemon and his children taking food
at an inn. He told of the information
that had been given, of the pursuit and
danger, offered the boy as temporary SUBJ
stitute for the girl at the examination to
come off, and told the father that, when =
the fasehood of the charge should be
proved by both the children appearing to
be boys, he might very fairly fly into such
a rage as to kill his accuser. The plan
was of course approved. The diatory
guard soon arrived, surrounded the house,
seized upon Fiyosa yemon and the children,
and gladly announced that they were both
boys. The intormer declared that some
imposition had been practiced, which the
accused, Indignantly resenting, drew his
sword, and cut off the informer's head.
The guard declared that such liar had
only met his just deserts, and returned to
their post, while the traveller took his
daughter and went on his journey.
