OUR Book TABLE.-"MyD Daughter Ell
linor,'' is the title of book, which
comes from Lessrs. Duf1ie & Chapman.
"My Daughter Ellinor" is one of the
cleverest of American novels. It gives O
correct and faithful picture of life Mt
Washington, the capital of the United
States; the political intrigues and party
manGuvres transpiring in society; the
corruption extending to its social rela-
tions. In the character of Mr.. Grey is
presented with fidelity tho Washington
politician; the influence he exerts and
the manner of exertion, in all its crooked
bearings, whilst as foil appears the
description Of his daughter Ellinor, q
sweet and noble woman, welding royal
sway in the drawing-room, and perfect
in her domestic circle. This clever book
is story of the present day, told in q
vigorous, nervous style, and is we'll
worthy of moro than this passing notice.
