Books.
We have found interest in reading little bool
written by a lady of Baltimore, giving her expe
perienee as prisoner in Washington, about tn
close of the war. 1t gives us some glimpses
the way in which arrests and imprisonments wer'
made BY the powers that be, at the Federal Capi
tol. Its title is The Old Capitol and its Inmates
by Lady who enjoyed the hospitalities for
season.
Tn the same direction of interest is the Hsstor!
of the Secret Service, by Gen. Baker, the head O
the Washington police. 1t is a sensational book
the illustrations being in that style. The book il
a large octayo, and is meant to be selling book
as it doubtless will be. 49,.
