WHAT ANSWER? A STORY OF TO-
DAY.-Bv Anna f. Dickinson. $3.50.
Ticknor & Fields Boston.
Miss Dickenson's reputation as one OF
the popular lecturers in the country will
draw public attention to her novel which
Ticknor and Fields have just published.
Those who have listened to her elo-
auent lectures will turn to her book wit
eager interest.
'sWhat Answer has a skilfnlly-con-
structed plot, aud deals with some of the
most important events of the late war.
The story is one that will deeply interest
those who read simply for entertainment
the characters, incident, situations will
attract and charm the novel reader; and no
thoughtful person can be uninterested in
the bold and earnest treatment which
some important political and social oues-
tions receive in this volume
THE HALE DOLLAR TENNYsoN.- The
nine different editions of the Laureate's
poetry which Ticknor and Fields have
hitherto published seem insufficient to
meet all the requirements OF the reading
public. Their Diamond Edition, pub
hshed two years ago, was miracle 81
cheap, and elegant, bookma' lg. 1t is
quite outdone, however, in cheapneSs
and compactness, by the Hulf Dollar
Edition of Tennyson's Complete Poems,
Just published by Ticknor and Fields.
This editions Is from new types, set in
double columns, is remarkable for beauty
ami no danger to the eyes need be feared
from reading it 1t is neatly and dura-
bic bound in handsome green paper
cover, with an exec. lent vignette head of
Tennyson. No one can now complain
that Tennyson is beyond his reach, when
the entire poem can bc had in handsome
form for fifty cents.
These books can be procured at any
bookseller, or directly from Ticknor &
Fields, Boston

This steamer had very severe time
coming from Kewaanee. She was three

wonder that she could live at all in such
a gale and the sea running as it was.

A paper published in this place speaks
of tkeTRIBUNE "a our imbecie neighbn !;
in view of which we would like to ask
question:
Does it not seem a little singular to
hear a man, whose u,le haJits have
brought him to he verge of the grave
who goes about the place the variest
shadow of what he Should be, talking of
others being 'imbecile q And the
same sheet speaks of one of our editors
as light Drained. " Thank God the editors
OF tbs paper are not in hourly danger of
death from delirium tremens, and light
or heavy Drained they know enough to
take care of themselves. Can the man
referred to above say as much ?

Character OF General Grant.


Grants extreme simplicity of behav-
ior and di~rectness of expression imposed
on various officers, both above and be-
low him. They thought him a good,
plain man, who had Numbered into one
or two successes, aud who, therefore,
could not be Immediately removed ;
but they deemed it unnecessary to re-
gard his Judgment, or to count upon his
ability. His superiors made theirplansin IN
yariably without consulting him, and his
subordinates sometimes sought to carry
out their own campaigns, in opposition
or indifference to his orders, not doubt
ing that, with their superior intelli-
gence, they could conceive and execute
triumphs which would excuse or even
vindicatc their course. 1t is impossible
to understand the early history of the
war, without taking into account that
neither the Government nor its impor-
tant commanders gave Grant credit for
intellectual ability or military genius.
His other qualities were rated low.
Because he was patient some thought it
impossible to provoke him and because
of his calmncss it was supposed that he
was stolid.
In battle or in campaigning he did not
seem to care or consider SO much what
the enemy was doing as what he himself
meant to do and this trait, to cnthusi-
astic or even brilliant soldiers, appeared
iuexplicable. A great commander it
was imagined shonld be nervous, excit-
able, inspiring his men and captivating
his officers, calling private soldiers by
their names, making eloquent addresses
in the field, and waving his drawn sword
in battle. Great commanders had done
all these things, and won ; and many
men, who could do all these things, fam
cied themselves therefore great com-
mandcrs. Others imagined wisdom to
consist in science alone they sought
success in learned and elaborate plans,
requiring months to develop, when the
enemy was Immediately before them
they maneuvred when it was time to
fight ; they e~ntrcnched when they should
have attacked, and studied their books
when the field should have been their
only problem.
Grant was like none of these. If he
possessed requirements he appeared I'M
conscious of them he made no allu-
sions to the schools, and never hesitated
to transgress their rules when the occa-
sion seemed to him to demand it. So
be neither won mems hearts by blan-
dishmcnts, nor affected their imagina-
tons by brilliancy of behavior o did
he seem profound to those who are i'm
pressed only by o display of learning.
All these things should be appreciated
by those who seek to understand his
character or carecr.-Bddeau's Military

THE Freedmcn's Bureau in Georgia,
last year, relieved the Starvation Of co.
75l white persons and 4O,9s7 colored
persons, by distributing among them
3a,422 bushels of corn and 35o,5l7
pounds Of bacon. This was the charity
OF Congress, and was bestowed upon
whites in a much larger proportion than
on negroes, although in q matter Of
pure b~enevolence, and where death by
hunger is to be prevented, no one would
wish to make any distinction. But the
fact shows that the Freedmen's Bureau
does not exist for the exclusive benefit
Of any class OF the destitute. At the
same time there was distributed in
Georgia I ,7l3 bushels of corn, tho gift
Of charitable associations at the North.

derstood that he left an estate Of f4,-
OOo, 900. It now turns out to be nearer
Ct, 900, 900, or $35 900 900. His young
est son took E2, 900, 900 under the will,
but was also left residuary legatee,
probably under tho supposition thatafter
pnying the other legncics no very largo
sum would DO left. C%uriously enough,
however, on the final settlement 1t is
found that he actually comes in possess
sion of 81, 900, 900 more, and no is,
therefore, without doubt, the richest

the world, for he begins life with an
