total want of appreciation of the finer quail

before he can obtain recognition outside of

things, and it is mistake for any man, no

them.
From j. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re-
ceived Part of "Lippincott's Biographical
Dictionary" which is brought down to the
title ''Jan Cadovius." We have repeatedly re-
ferred to the special merits of this great work,
and it is therefore scarcely necessary to make
any detailed remarks with regard to it now.
1t is, in many of its most important features,
entirely unlike any cyclopedia or dictionary
that has ever been issued before, either in
this country or in Europe, and it
is monument at once to the
learning and industry of the compiler,
DIR. Thomas, and to the enterprise of the
publishers.

seems to retain all the popularity it won years
ago.
From Porter & Coates we have received

VIEW OF NEW BOOKS

Charles Reade's novel of "Put Yourself
in his Place" having been completed in the
GALAXY, three of the prominent publishing
neously. Fields, Osgood & Co. and Sheldon
q Co. both claim to be the legitimate repre-
sentatives of Mr.. Reade, and publish what
they call Authors editions, while Harper &
Brothers are apparently going into the fight
on general principles, for the benefit of the
public in general and of themselves in parti-
cular. All three houses issue an edition to
match the popular green cloth Household"
edition of Reade's works published by Fields
Osgood d Co., and although there is not
much choice in the matter, the last-named
firm is entitled to the credit of having pro-
dueed rather the neatest and most attrac-
tive volume. Sheldon & Co. and Harper
IL Brothers each issue, in addition to the
above, an octave edition in cloth and paper,
so that there is an ample variety for the public
to choose from, both as regards price and
style. Whether this kind of competition will
be of any material benefit to the parties en-
gagged in it is question for them to deter
mine; but the public at least can rejoice, for
il will certainly have the effect to bring down
prices We have received specimens of the
editions of ''Put Yourself in his Place" issued
by all the above-named houses, from L. b.
Peterson q Brothers, j. b. Lippincott q Co.,
Claxton, Remsen q Haffelfnger, and Porter
d Coates, from whose shelves the admirers
of Mr.. Reade can select the style of volume
best suited to their individual tastes.
Charles Reade has written nothing that is
not at once gratifying and disappointing. As
mere story-teller he is far superior to Wilkie
Collins, who cannot get along without an
acknowledgement mystery, the solution of
which is about all that the majority of read
ers are apt to care for in one of his novels.
Charles Reade does not PROFOUND any conun-
drums, but he has the knack of winding up
every chapter in such a manner as to leave
the reader burning with anxiety to know
what is coming next, SO that, having once
commenced the perusal of one of his novels,
it is requires a degree of fortitude that few
fiction readers are equal to to leave off until
the last page is reached. Mr.. Reade has
shown, too, that he is able to draw characters
with genuine insight into the moving in-

THE LAST FAIRIES.


Thomas Hood, in some Of his more serious
pOems-in which he showed his rarest gifts -
has at greater length, but with no more
finished grace, treated of the subject of the
following lines, which we take from an Tie
Year Round t.".
All in the cleaning of golden day,
All in a mellow autumn long since mute,
A small voice wandered out across the noun
tains.
And the moon listened, and the stars grew
paler,
The thin brooks hushed themselves, and
everywhere
A tender trouble grew in leafy places.
And little eyes among the ferns we're wet
With tears not dew, and folding small thin
hands,
They gathered with no shadows in the moon
light.
For the voice cried, ''The feet of men come
nearer,
The peat-smoke curls where ye have lived so
long,
And it is time to seek another dwelling"
Saying, moreover, ''whither mans foot
cometh
The fairy ring upon the grass must vanish,
The tree must fall, the dreamy greenness
perish.
"His breath is vaporous in the air around
him,
His heel is on your dwellings, his sharp knife
Staineth with blood the running brook ye
drink of.
''How shall ye dwell where men and women
gather?
How shall pale things linger in their shadow?
Each shadow is a sorrow and sleep"
Then small folk look'd in one anothers faces,
And little mothers cried above their BARNS,
And all the things of elfand learnt the trou-
BILE.
For unto them the thymy dell was dear;
Dearer than life is to glad girl-mother;
Dearer than love is to happy lover.
There was no light elsewhere in all the world.
There was no other home under the moon
light;
Here had they dwelt, here had their days
been happy
And not a squirrel in the boughs but knew
them,
And not building bird bat sang out loud,
To see their bright eyes peeping at the fledg-
lings.
The strong deer and the wild fowl feared
them not,
The eagle with his round eye watched them
calmly
when III Uno nOOn In0y CldInDer u TO nef
eerie.
They had been friendly to each dying thing
Until the dying; then they knew what fol-
lowed,
And watching how things came and went was
pleasure.
And these things had they named by happy
names,
Down to the little moth new born, and swing
ing
Under the green leaf by thread of silk
Home-loving, gentle, tender-hearted folk,
How could they bear to leave for evermore
The little place whose face was SO familiar?
Yet the voice cried, ''Man comes, and man is
master;
Ye are as silver dust around his footstep,
Waited before him by his weary breathing"
And with one voice they answered, broken
hearted,
MANS footsteps thicken over all the world,
Yea, even on the high and misty places.
1.-THE tall tree falls before him everywhere,
The leaves from every hill are on his face
How shall we find place to rest our feet ?"
And scattered thence by a soft wind from
Heaven,
They fed, they faded; but within the green
wood
Still gleam the round rings where their feet
have fallen.

Fearful Execution of the Witt
RaiEgeuSe.

LONDON, Aug. 4s-The French official re-
port of the battle of Saarbruck is p~articu-
larly devoted to the mitrailleuse. At the
opening Of the battle, and while the French
troops were forming, a detachment of
Pru>sian infantry boldly advanced from the
town and mounted a railway eSbankment
which separated them from the French
position, which they prepared to charge.
At this movement a battery of m&railleuse,
mounted in the rear of the French position,
opened a fire. Half Of the Prussian force
was left dead along tte line of the railroad,
and tie remainder disappeared. The
second detachment then marched into
position, and met the same fate. The
French are enthusiastic over the success
of their arms. The distance was sixteen
hundred metres.
LONDON, Avg. 4, Evening-Later dis
patches reccivxa here, confirming an action
at Sa~arbruck,' fully cnrroborate the pre-
vions reports of the terribIS destructiveness
of the raw French arm. The destruction
wrought on the ranks OF the Prussian de-
tachmcnts, which attempted to cross the
railroad embankment in face Of the terrible
shower of bullets rained from the mitrail-
leuse, is said to have been frightful. The
deadly effects of this arm at long ranges
have produced a great impression upon
PrlsSia1 service.

The Late e. s. Mayo.

EDWARD sEBAsrIAN MAYO, the testlmo-
NAL details of whose tragic death are re-
corded in another column, died expressing
the sublime and christian sentiment that
ehe did not wish for them (his b%rothers)
to make a personal matter with Hayes, but
for the law to take its course" Here we
see evinced a spirit contrary to the wan
ton and unnecessary shedding Of human
blood, which wasein keeping with his
whole life and it would be we'll for the
cause Of human peace If all were imbued
with a similar spirit.
The deceased was born at Plaquemine In
the Parish of Iberville, but from childhood
had resided at Opelousas. OF his promis'
ing youth, his untiring industry and per
severance, his indomitable energy, his
great mental resources, and wonderful.
executive abilities,-so well known to oul
citizens generally,-we have not the time
nor the heart to speak. With less thar
twenty-five summers in this world he has
been hurried to an eternity in the other
leaving four brothers and a sister, a widow
ed mother, two aged. and helpless CRANE
parents, and a young wife, bus no children
to mourn their sad bereavement and ire
parable loss.
The deceased was a member of the Ope
lousas Fire Company a Master Mason i
Humble Cottage Lodge, No. 10, a Roya
Arch Mason in Gordy Royal Arch Chap
ter, No. 80, and a Royal and Most Excel
lent and Super Excellent Master IN Eurek
Council, =. D., all at Opelousas.
He vas buried with, Masonic honors
under the auspices of Humble Cottag
Lodge, and of the Fire Company to while
he belonged. The large eoncourse of cit
zens, male and female, white and coloret
rich and poor, from various parts Of tn
parish, who accompanied his corpse to tn
Church, and thence to its final Resin
place, attest the public sympathy in HI
sad fate.
