NEW PUBLICATIONS.


FATHER CoNNELL; q Tale. By the O'Hara |
Family. New York ID. s. j. Sallier & Co. |
1869.
This is new edition of an old publication,
and is considered among the best of those which
the talented brothers Banim from time to time
placed before the public. The clergyman
whose name gives the title to the work is repre-
scented as having real existence, and was par
ish priest of st. Johns, Kilkenny. Many of the
incidents of the story are real occurrences.
The talented brothers have the reputation of
being vivid portrayers of Irish life, and many
of the scenes in the present work are thrilling
and intensely interesting.
ONwARD-A monthly Magazine for the youth
of America, conducted by Capt. Mayne Reede.
-. New York: Carleton, publisher.
This Magazine is got up in very creditabe
style geographically. The literary contents
compare favorably with publications of like
character. Christmas in the EmeraldIsle
is evidently by writer who has little famlll-
arity with the events and characters which he
attempts to portray, and the styles rather care
less and slip-shod. "The Yellow Chief be-
! trays the leaven of Northern prejudice, which
| we had hoped was on the<wane. No good can
| be accomplished by perpetuating ISLANDERS on
of this Magazine can hardly hope to propitiate
Southern readers by admitting into it tissue
of fabrications which can only pander to dis
eased imaginations, or minds hopelessly abo-
| litionized.

monplase Oliver Dyer, author of the Wick
edest Man in New York." has an article OF
g Judicial Corruption in New York." which
savors somewhat of Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er's discourse on a kindred subject, and lacks
the sensational features which gave so muct
piquancy to his Five Points romance. Horace
Greeley contributes just enough to warrant his
name being placed in the table of contents
"The Flight and Capture of Jefferson Davis
gives Z. A. Pollard an opportunity to demon
strate how low in the scale of manhood pro
fessed vi1ifyer can descend.

:, and, from cursory glance, the literary matte

any similar publication.
