world will be searched in vain for any
developement similar to this.

Schenck, by a vote of l2S to 3S, flung the
message on the table to lie there amoug 9th
er dead things, as Mr.. Highly of California
said. As If this great proceeding was not
enough. it next refused to let the message
be printed for general circulation, and also
refused to refer it in the ordinary way to
the appropriate committees for examination.
This action of the two branches of Con
gress thus recorded is the theme of eouver-
sation in all circles to night, The general
judgment seems TO be that so far as the
President i concerned he was served just
right, though some persons regret that the
Senate AMI House could find no other way
of expressing their rig hteous Indignation.

LITERATURE.
REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.

OCCUPATIONS OF A RETIRED LIFE. BY Edward
Garrett. Published by Little & Gay, Bos
ton. Philadelphia Agent: A. Winch, No.
sos Chestnut street.
This work originally appeared serially in
Good Words, and it was first published in
America in Littelps Living Age, which circum-
stances constitute double guarantee of ex-
cellence. "The Occupations of Retired Life"
is one of the very best religious novels of the
day that we have seen. There is an air of
reality about the story which almost persuades
as to the belief that it is what it purports to be,
a transcript Of actual experiences. The author
is in earnest, but never dull, and he contrives
TO secure the attention of the reader from the
commencement to the end of narrative which
never falters or grows uninteresting. We
commend this work to the lovers of really
good reading.
From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re-
ceived "The Little Spaniard," 4" the fourth vol
ume of the "Helping Hand' series, by May
Mannering, and "Dotty Dimple out West"
the third of the "Dotty Dimple' SERIES Pub
lished by Lee & Shepard, Boston. These
pretty little stories were originally published
in Our Boys and Girls Mogazine, and the
young people who were interested in them
when they appeared serially will doubtless be
pleased to reperuse them in book form. The
volumes are nicely printed and bound, and
they will be attractive additions to juvenile
libraries.
james s. Claxton, No. 1914 Chestnut
street, sends us "Edna Willis" "Grace
Roche's Legacy" and "Jem Morrison'-
of his recent publications for juvenile
readers. These stories, like all issued by this
house, are written with the design of COM
bining instruction with entertainment, and
they may safely be recommended to parents
and Sunday School teachers who desire to put
good, wholesome reading in the hands of
children.
We have received from T. B. Peterson &
Brothers "The Acts of the Kings, published by
G. w. Carleton, New York. This is political
squib, written by ]. Marshall Harmer, asso-
ciate editor of the Southern Opinion, and origi-
nally published in the columns of that journal.
II is burlesque on the biblical narrative, and
Is designed to be a satire on the military gov
ernment in Virginia since the collapse of the
Rebellion, and is a silly affair both in design
and execution. The author promises addi-
tlonal chapters in the second edition of the
work, II one is demanded, which we are In
olined to think will not be the case, for we
have found "The Acts of the Kings" to be
very dull reading, with the profanity unre-
lieved by a single CLEAN OF wit or genuine
humor.
