and although prices Of both yarn and
cloth have given way, buyers have shown
the greatest indifference about giving out
orders. TO-dsy the tone OF the market
has been no WORSE, aud q few more in
duiries have baen made. Producers have
consequently besn induced to hope that
a little more business msy be fOrthcOm-

occurred have been almost invariably at
prices lower than either spinners or man

the great decrease in the production, the

exclusive Of the outlying mills in the
neighbsrhood, there ara at least twenty

THE STORY OF A BAD BOY. BY THOMAS BAILEY
ALDRICH. 12mo. PIP. 26i. Fields Osgood q 20.
We do not believe that any body, man or boy,
woman or girl has taken up a number of oar Young
Folks during the past year without making friends
with Tom Bailey. most lovable young scamp, not,
rs he says himself, a very bad boy, but pretty
bad boy, one who did MT want to be an angel,
who didn't think tracts half nice as Robin
son Crusoe, who did MT send his little pocket
money to tho Feeiee Islands but spend il roy
ally in peppermint-dTops and taffy candy, in short
real human boy entirely unlike the bloOdess being
of the piOus storybooks, Tom Bailey has caphvated
all his acquantances lie must be added thereafter 20
the boys gallery of favorte characters side by side
with Robinson CrusOe and the Swiss Family Rob-
inson. and Tom Brown at Rugby, and perhaps Peter
Simple, and other more OF less estimable persons
while we older folks can laugh as heartily ms any
body over his adventures and relish his history much
more than we do the real narratives of grown up
men and women. MIR. Alduch'S style has fine fla
VOrOus humor and without the least appearance of
effort he draws continually upon on inexhaustible
store of fun. There is delightful air Of reality
about the places and incidents of his story, and we
probably little risk in cOnjecturng that in large
part the book is only somewhat oniamented record
of actual experiences.

OLD ENGLISH HISTORY FOR CHILDREN By BpWatD FREE.
ltmo. pp. III Macmillan Co.
Mr.. Freeman wrote this little book under the
conviction that wrong is done TO children by tho
current textbooks Of early English history, which old
fables OF the chroncers and bunders Of
pepetuaed long after modern research has demonstrated
their falsehoOd. 1t just easy be believes TO give
children frOm the 1rst clear, accurate, and scientific
views ofhstOry TO load their memories with confused
notions and apocrypha tales and provided the teacher
be wen equipped the youngest student may be- taught TO
distinguish records from legend and wiful inyeu
on. understand the nature Of historical authorities
and 10 weigh statement against another. In his
elaborate History Of the Norman Conquest" Mr. Free
has sufficiently vindcated his fitness 10 treat the
period covered in the present volume, which extends
from the earliest times 10 the coronation OF William the
CoDqueror Several cOOred maps show tho subdivisions
of Britain at various epOchs, and add materially 10 the
eearDess Of the narrative. The work is undoubtedly
valuable one, though hardly suppose that in
American schools viii be thought necessary devote
much study TO little matter OF eleven hundred years
IN the least important portion Of English history.
