REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.

From Claxton, Remsen & Hafelfnger we
have received "The Bramleighs of Bishops
Folly,"a novel by Charles Lever. Despite
his popularity, which rests mainly upon his
earlier and more humorous stories, we
scarcely think that the genius of Charles
Lever has received the recognition to which
it is Justly entitled. The rollicking fun of
"Charley O'Malley'' and '"Tom Burke" is
toned down in his later works, but instead we
have more depth of humor, richer and more
powerful style, and more tho rough knowledge
of human nature. ''The Bramleighs of
Bishops Folly" is a characteristic work in
Levers later and as we think, better style,
and that it is by Lever is a sufficient recon-
mendation of it as story that will well repay
perusal.
From the same house we have received
mildred" a novel, by Georgiana M. Craik.
This is very interesting story: it is well told,
and the character drawing is excellent. We
think that mildred shows a decided ad-
vance over anything the author has yet writ
ten, and 1t promises we'll for what she will
yet do in the field of fiction. The characters
are well contrasted, and the heroine especially,
is described with much ability and psychologi-
cal insight.
From Smith, English & Co. we have re
eeived "Boasting Hector" "Foolish Zoe," and
'Mischievous John" three humorous picture
books for children, published by Roberts Bro
theirs, Boston. The illustrations, by L. Fro
liob, are well drawn and artistic in design,
although several of them are badly engraved,
and they serve "te point moral and adorn
tale'' which the youngest of the juveniles will
be able to understand and appreciate. The
books are nicely gotten up, with flexible
covers, and we expect that they will be in
demand about Christmas time, not many weeks
off now.
From T. B. Peterson q Brothers we have
received "Family PRIDE" by the author of
"Pique," an interesting story of English life.
The November number Of Our SehOOI-day
Visitor is, as usual, filed with good things in
prose and verse, which the boys and girls win
appreciate.

bursement of United States revenue ought to
be truthfully and cordially acknowledged.
Let Congress-as the lurking purpose in
some quarters las been disclosed-at this
time and in this age of the world, un-
prompted by any overruling necessity-dc-
iiberately add 5000, OOO, 600 to our currency,
or even issue United States notes to an equal
amount with and in place of the notes of
national banks, throwing 1875, 1876 $50 of
United States bonds, now held by the banks,
at once for sale upon our own money mar
kcts for whatever price they would bring,
and the effect would be deplorable. After
that, if legal tenders brought fifty cents on
a dollar. it would be much could rea-
sonably DC expected, and confidence in our
financial integrity would receive such a
shock that it would not be surprising ii
legal tenders were to be wholly rejected as a
currency by the people, except 30 far as they
could be forced into circulation by positive
law and by existing contracts. A return to
the barbarism of barter trade would speedily
infect the whole country. Contracts paya-
bic twelve months ahead would have no
assignable value. But have no apprehen-
sion OF this now. Procrastinate resumption
of specie payments and how much the appe-
tite for more paper money may grow upon
what it feeds, vino can tell? All the danger
hinges upon whether we take the right and
proper step to-day or not.

Obituary.

DIED at Silver Greek, Mich, NOV. 23d. Mr.. AL
BERT FOSTER. in the 32d year of his age.
Mr.. Foster was born in Berlin, Vt, and only len
there a few years since, conduct business for a
time in Irvngton, Iowa. In recently closing Il visit
his fathers house, his mother expressed the fear
she bade him adieu, that she should never see
him again; fear that was to be early realized for
in a month two the wires quivered with a dis
patch stating that he lay at the point of death and
another quickly followed announcing his decease.
It>was sad to be arrested he was whileawav from
the comforts of home and the sympathy of loving
friends, but he reached the house of relati
by whom he sufficiently and tenderly cared for
and amid whose affectionate ministrations he drew
his last breath.
The death of this and brother has driven the
iron of sorrow deep into the family circle Dutiful
tender and loving himself, he most fondly cher
ished in return. 4 three-fold cord has been sund-
cred warm hopes blasted, strong expectations cut
OF, a fountain of love and enjoyment, sweet and
newly made grave.
There is comfort however, in the event rs well as
sorrow. The remembrance of virtues in the de-
parted affords solace that does much in compensa-
ton of the pain produced. And the deceased pos
sessed qualities which warmly commended him to
the regards of the family circle. Nor was he held
in esteem merely by his near relatives; the whole
body OF his acquaintance valued him as right
minded, Kind hearted, and of good promise for the
future. He had also manifested active religious
interest, expressed hope in the Saviour, and main
tanned the duty of prayer When told that he could
not live, he expressed entire submission, and offer
ed an impressive prayer, commencing his soul to
God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Let the Cos
pei admonition: Be vel also ready -. which the
event enorces he needed by all friends and acquain-
tances Com.

On the evening Of Christmas day festival
was held in the audience room of the Church
consisting of singing by the Sabbath School
prayer by the pastor declarations and da-
logucs by the School, and two large and
beautiful - Christmas trees covered with
handsome and valuable presents for the
children and friends Many OF the presents
were really valuable. After distributing
nearly one hundred and fifty tickets for the
School. the amount collected at the door was
S43 ,slmttancc, 20 cents for adults and 10
cents for children. This shows that there
was n good audience, and as far as know
the whole thing was perfect success, except
the singing which might have been i'm

Our Washington Correspondence

WASHINGTON, ID. g, Dec. p, 1867.
Mr. EDITOR Christmas spent here
in unusual quiet. owing to the fact that
large number Of the people of the city went
away for the holidays, and that business is
very dull and money scarce. They have I
queer way OF celebrating Christmas in this
region of the country, treating it very much

making day and night hideous with their
horns and fireworks, seemingly forgetting
that it is victory of peace and not of war
that they celebrate. But beyond the noise
and confusion, the celebration closely re-
sembles our own. and turkeys and plum
buildings rule here as elsewhere In every
chimney corner, too, hang the stockings,
trustingly awaiting the visit Of Santa Claus.
The clerks in the various departments
have again petioned for an increase of sala-
RIGS. 1t is really shame that they should
be kept here on such salaries, and expected
To give their whole attention to the business
of the government. The great majority have
only 81, 200 per year. and that will hardly
support IA small family decently, for. added
to the exorbitant price of all the necessaries
of life. there is the extreme uncertainty of
tenure. which prevents any one from pcrna-
nently settling here, and leaves all ut the
mercy of the greedy boarding house keepers.
1t is simply matter Of justice that this
should be speedily remedied. Either sala-
ries must be raised to correspond with those
I of other people in other places Or else the
government will lose it, most valuable clerks :,
and those whose places cannot be filled. The
movement for their relief in the House was
defeated by a small majority caused by fear
that it might be unpopular with the people
and result in the loss of votes but if the
increase within very few years OF the sala
! ries of Congressman from IS per day while
in actual service. TO $4,000 per annum

I for it, can it be seriously supposed that this
/ increase, really needed and just, would
materially injure the Republican party? The
idea seems too ridiculous for any right mind
ed. liberal man to bestow thought upon.

LouIsIANA.-The constitutional convention
in Louisiana is making progress. The first
two articles of a constitution have been
adopted, and are the following
|. All men are created free and equal, and
have certain inalienable rights among these
are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
To secure these rights governments are insti-
tuted among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed.
2. All persons, without regard TO race,
color or previous condition, born, or natur-
allied, in the United States and residents of
this state one year, are citizens of this state
They shall enjoy the same civil, political and
public rights and privileges, and be subject
to the same pains and penalties.
These are wholesome provisions, and are
especially necessary in such state as Louis
lana where class distinctions have so long
prevailed, and the prejudices of race are SO
strong as to publicly threaten war of
colors The Declaration of Independence,
which has been for half a century practically
ignored in all the Southern States, is now
being solemnly Incorporated into the organ
lied laws of those states, and is making the
sure foundation of their reconstruction and
because it is thus laid as the cornerstone OF
the work, Democrats everywhere are howl
ing against these constitutional conventions,
and declaring that they are laying the foun-
dation of Il war Of the races.
