"John 7. Hoffman, Of New York."

"Mr. Hoffman has made a GOOD
mark rs Governor Of New York." said

" Yes, replied Mr.. Adams; "hc has
the power of that singularly powerful
organization at his back, with the
prestige of success as Chief NIayis-
tratc OF the Empire State, two points
that almost insure his selection by the

GOSSIP ABOUT EURoPE.-Mcssrs Lee &
Shepard, Boston. have lust published " An
AMERICAN WoSAN IN EUROPE The Journal
Of two years and half : soiourn in Ger
many, Switzerland, France and Italy" by
Mrs. S. X. Urbino, in handsome l6mo
volume of 335 pages. Price, 81 so. When
almost every American who visits Europe
feels it an imperative duty on his or her
return to write book detailing the pleas
ures and miseries attending a visit to the Old
World, a new volume of European travel is
not likely to attract marked attention, but
Mrs. Urbino's book is unlike any other we
have seen. She has a pleasant way of giving
just the information required by those de-
sirous Of visiting the lands of which she
writes, and no better guide book can be
desired. She tells you the best and cheapest
way to travel, the shortest and pleasantest
routes, the best sights to see, the best hotels
to live in, and just how much it costs to
travel, see or live in the four countries which
she describes. Items which usually escape
the notice of careless travellers, but which
are Of great value to the prudent and eco
nOmical, are by her carefully noted, and thus
we have fresh. interesting and instructive
book, which will well repay perusal. As a
guide book, containing little sentiment, and
less attempts at reproducing in word-pictures
the wonders of the Old World, it will
be really useful.

sketch for a moment his connection with the
press of the state, a brief memorial tri-

Pliny Holton White was born in Spring
field, Vermont, October 9th, 1922 Studied
law with Hon. VIM G. Bradley and was ad-
mitted to the Windham County bar and
practiced the profession for few years.
Daring his student life, he wrote for the
BrattleborO Eagle. The conducting of a
newspaper being more congenial to his tastes,
he abandoned the law and became the Editor
of the Brattleboro Eagle, now the Phoenix
He was afterwards Editor of the Express, at
Amherst, Mass After his entrance upon the
ministry, he contributed many valuable and
historical articles to the Congregational
Quarterly, Vermont Chronicle, the COngre-
gationalist and Boston Recorder. He was
also frequent contributor 10 the Vermont
Record, Rutland Herald and Burlington Free
Press, Barton Standard ndsNewport Express,
and other State journals He was diligent in
many other departments, and won for him
self an enviable reputation as a writer. He
had fertile mind a great mass of facts, and
condensed them for the press with great
rapidity, industry and accuracy. lie was
the valued assistant of the press in Vermont,
and perhaps his superior in many respects
our State has never produced. His loss to
the press of the State has been sensibly felt.
and is made more apparent every day, as
many important facts and incidents which he
could have contributed, it is feared are for
ever lost. Vermont had the honor of his
birth, the benefit of his labors he had his
home amid her mountains; her history and
the promotion of her interests his study; her
honor his glory, and her soil his grave. May
a kind Providence grant to the press of Yer
mont another contributor and assistant like
Pliny ii. White.

Ny Brethren Of tie Press:
We come together on our second anniver

congratulation and social intercourse, to
spend a few hours in those fraternal relations
that will teach Us better 70 understand each

mon profession. None can have forgotten
the agreeable hours and the profitable gath

the mountains and lakes of Northern Vermont,
which for the first time brought face to face

can t1e useful lessons inculcated by the Pa
triarch of the Vermont press, have been lost
upon us Nor can the genial counsel Of our
honOred brother, who now is the representa-
tive of the people, and of the journalists of
Vermont, in a wider sphere of action, the
councils of the nation, have failed to make it's
impress. We all separated to our labors
with more cheerful hearts, and better pre-
pared for the discharge of the duties that de-
vOlved upon us, and in more cordial relations
of friendship and brotherhood. May the in
6uences that flow out from this assemblaye

LITERATURE OF THE ACE or QUEEN ELIz-
ABETH. The book just published by Fields,
OsgOod 4 Co., with this title, by f. p. Whip
pie, will at once be welcomed by every intel
ligent reader as the most valuable addition
which any writer in this country has con
tributed to the literature Of criticism. Mr..
Whipple's articles have long been distin-
guIshed for their critical acumen Per-
haps no American writer is more familiar
with the English classics, and certainly no
one writes in more agreeable, and pure Eng
lish. His style is a model for all who would
become good writers; and it is full of vi
vacity, epigrammatic, and holding in its clear
depths the gems gathered from the author s
wide range of reading, with his admirable
judgment in selection. The contents of this
volume are
Characteristics Of the Elizabethan Litera-
ture Shakespeare, the Man and the Ora
matst Growth, Limitations, and Toleration
of Shakespeare's Genius Ben Jonson Min
or Elizabethan Dramatists Beaumont and

ton to the discussion serves to solve the
doubts in any mind or not, it is at least an
able presentation of the authors views, and

times.
