spite of the war believe the United States
have increased in solid wealth since 1s6O-
According to the last census the total valua-
tion was sixteen billions, more than double
the valuation OF 1850. Slaves counted for two
billions. Could the valuation be taken now
l think it would reach twenty billions; and
venture the prediction that, in 1880, IL will
reach forty-five billions, the wealth of Eng
land. / observe that the present valuation OF
Missouri exceeds that of 1860 by S15S,OOO,O00,
an increase of more than fifty per cent. And
since 1860 her slaves have been emancipated,
while in other respects no Southern State
suffered more from the war, except Virginia.
In 1850 the valuation of all the Southern
States, not counting the slaves, was about
four billions; l do not imagine it would fall
below that now, while, in eighteen months
from now, it will largely exceed that figure
For hundreds of years it has been observed
that every country RECEIVERS from the ravages
of war with astonishing celebrity, If only the
people themselves are lett. They simply

Recenf Publications.

Ticknor & Fields, of Boston, publish The
Poetry Of Compliment and Courtship; selected
and arranged by John Williamson Palmer,
editor of "Folks Songs" 1t is pretty little
volume of some go pages, and its contents in
elude the very richest and sweetest OF those
flowers of poetic literature of which love has
been the root. English poets, from Chaucer
down to the present day, are here. French,
italian and German authors have also been
drawn upon; Heine, especially, appears many
times in the graceful translations of Mr.. Le-
land. The specimens from American poets are
not numerous perhaps there is something in
our atmosphere which is unfavorable to the
development of this kind of literature-but
we find the names of Longtellow, Parsons, Bry-
ant, Willis, Aldrich, Sake, Emerson, Lowell,
Stoddard, Holmes, and one or two others of
inferior note. The collection has been made,
as we shonld expect it to be by Mr.. Palmer,
with great care and skill, as well as with the
most delicate and discriminating taste. The
present volume is the first of series, intend
ed to trace "the life of the Family from its
foundation to its breaking up, through all its
fortunes, happy or sad, all its ties of kindred
and friendship, and all its homelest associa-
tions from the 'Old Oaken Bucket that hangs
in the Well to the Big Ha-Bible, and the
fathers PRIDE each collection to be complete
in itself, yet all forming links in one chain
There are to be four more volumes, giving sue
cessively the poetry of Marriage and Off,
spring, of Home and Friends, of Meeting,
Parting and Separation, of Bereavement, Con-
ISOLATION. We know of no one more fit to un-
dertake such task than Mr.. Palmer. (Re-
ceived by Hall L. Davis.
From Ticknor & Fields we have also Child
Pictures from Dickens, being selection from
the various novels of the author of chapters
especially associated with children. 1t in
cludes the famous scenes relating to Little
Nell and her Grandfather, Dick Swiveller
aud the Marchioness, Bob Cratchit and Tiny

Though Maine is by no means prominent
among the States fer the number of its char
table institutions, yet its citizens are not Ii
able to the Teproach of indifference to the
welfare of the unfortunate within its borders.
Having no local institutions for the care and
instruction of the deaf mutes, provision is
made for the former at the Perkins Institute
in Boston, and for the latter at the "Ameri-
can Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb" at
Hartford, Connecticut As long ago as 1925
the legislature appointed commissioners to
meet with others representing the several
New England States, at Hartford. to examine
into the workings of the institution founded
in that city in 1916. The commissioners re-
ported favorably, and every year since that
time pupils from this state have been admit
ted to that excellent school. The governors
and secretaries of State of the six New En-
gland States are eT-ottcio members of the
board OF directors, and make an annual visit
to Hartford to look after the interests OF
their proteges. Governor Chamberlain seems
to have been favorably impressed with what
he saw there during his late visit. He calls
attention, however, to the fact that school
has been opened in Massachusetts where a
different method of instruction is adopted.
At Hartford use is made of signs alone, the
old method of articulation which was used
and found unsatisfactory in England having
been abandoned. The latter method is reviv-
ed in the Massachusetts school for the in
struction of the partially dumb and the Gov
ernor recommends that the provision which
now applies to our pupils in the American
Asylum be extended to this school also.
The annual report of the officers of the
Hartford school shows that of the 100 pu-
pills who have received instruction in tina. IN
stitution since its establishment, 24S were
residents of this State. The whole number of
pupils in attendance during the last year was
224 of whom ia were males, anc 90 females
Under the charge of Rev. Collins Stone NJ. A.,
Principal, and John G. Bull M. A., Instructor
of the Gallaudet Scientific School, assisted by
a corps of eleven instructors, the school can
hardly fail to benefit persons who avail them
selves Of its advantages. The annual charge
for each pupil is S175, for which tuition board,
lodging and washing are furnished. Persons
in this State wishing to apply for the benefit
OF the State appropriation should communi-
cate with the Secretary of the State, giving
the name and age ofthe proposed beneficiary
and the circumstances of his parent or guard

The Florence journals contain accounts Of
a perquisition lately made in the monastery OF
the Chartreuse monks near that city, executed
by order of the Minister of the Interior. About
twenty letters found in the cell of the father
superior were seized, as well as different secur-
tiles, railway shares, notes and gold, amount
ing together to more than 10000 francs. One
OF the chief objects of the search was to discov-
er bankrupt merchant of Leghorn, named
Cecchi, who, report said, had taken refuge
there. The monks, however, succeeded in con-
veying him secretly away, and, on being aues-
toned respecting the man, refused to give any
other answer than that Cecchi had escaped
Three of the monks have been retained under
arrest and sent prison at Florence.
