Ben. TIE LUgaAGE Boz, by Horztio Agor;
Jr-, is the latest issue in the ~ Ragged Dick
series, nov in PROCESS Of publication by Lor-
ing, Of Boston The story il drawn from life,
and is an extremely interesting one. In de-
hneatiou OF character and narration of Incl
dent it is very happy, and there are very few
boys who will not tako a lively interest in the
career Of Ben.
TIE OFFICERS CHILDREN, story Of tho
Indian mutiny, founded On fact, by tho wife
Of m officer, is also well adapted to children,
and is very graphic IN narrative. It Is pub
Eshed by Dodd L Mead, New York.
We arc indebted to Messra- Virtue l. Yors-
ton, New York, for the first four parts
Of Washington and tho Repub-
ic," by the industrious Benson +.
Lossing. The work is very hand
somo1y published, though one misses the
small cuts with which LOSING has so profuse-
y illustrated his histories. Their place is cup
Piled by two very fine steel fnll-pIates With
each part, which are very admirable in design
and execution. OF tho literary contents Of tho
work We can hardly speak as yet, az the vol
uue is not sufficiently advanced, but tho indi-
cations are that it will prove very valuable
publication. It is d noticeable fact that Mr..
Loening does not infiict the story Of tho
hatchet upon his renders. Accompanying tho
work is tho best steel picture OF Washington
we have get seen, size 26x33 inches, represent
ing him receiving salute On the field OF Tren-
ton The plate is By the celebrated William
Hell, from the famous picture by John Faed
and 4. Ansdell. A copy Of this picture is
given to each person who aubscribes for the
work. !
