LITTELL's LIVING AGE.-LtttetFs LtU-
ing Age, No. 1899, for March 25, had,
along with other good things, about as
fair and appreciative criticism of The
Ring and the Book as one expects ever to
see of anything from the pen of its author
a paper on French Patriotic Songs, with
numerous specimens; and two of the
Saturday Regteeo'S characteristic articles
on Sweetness and Light" and on "Plain-
and Ill-favor." No. 1400, for APRIL 1,
brings lecture by Canon Kingsley on
the Natural Theology of the Future an
an article from the Edinburgh on Father
Arndt;" and a new poem by Robert
Browning: of which last it is small praise
to say that it is worth ten times the whole
batch of Tennyson's lately published love-
songs. The proof-reader should have cast
his eye over it once mere, however, before
it went to press We have said nothing
of the three serial stories running in the
Li0jng Age, by Fritz REUTER-, George Mac
Donald and the author of John Halifax,
because everybody knows, or ought to
know, that these are in process of publ
cation. One gets his eight dollars worth

GEN. BAxTER's REsIDENCE.--The work
of remodeling and improving the resi-
dence of Gen. Baxter is rapidly advancing.
A force of some twenty-five workmen, in
Guiding carpenters, plasterers and labor
ers, is now engaged upon it. 1t was the
intention to have it ready for occupancy
on the first of May, but a number of
months will be required in which to carry
out the elaborate plans for the interior
finish of the building. The walls of the
different rooms are being finished with
plaster and the ceiling with a massive
cornice and mouldings in stucco. An
elegant central ornament also adorns the
ceiling of some of the larger apartments.
The castings of the doors and windows are
of black ash, finished in oil, and relieved
with mouldings of black walnut. Though
the designs are yet in ap incomplete state,
enough is apparent to show that they are
of the most elaborate character, and that

WoLvEs.-The extraordinary severity
OF the winter has driven, in sections Of

on the 10Th of January last, when sudden.
ly eight or ten large wolves attacked
them. The coachman, who was armed
with huge whip and a couple of reyol.
vers, succeeded at first in driving the
wild beasts of. They renewed the At.
tack, however, and this time could not he
put to fight until after they had killed a
horse, MORALLY wounded the lady's maid
and cruelty lacerated the left arm Of the
princess. Six of the wolves were killad

ROOTS.

~
The fashion of rosettes and bows on
boots has passed away; embroidery which
has come into such general use for trim
ming, 10 preferred. The handsomest boots
are embroidered around the top as wen as
on the toe, and very elegant ones are mace
stitched with shades to match the oress.
For general use, however, white sti.cn'ng
is preferred. Bronze boots are no longer
worn, but gray leather, WORKED wi w
black or purple, are suitable to wear with
light dresses.
CRINOLINE.
We feel grateful to Fashion in that che
has decreed that small waists are no
longer stvlish. A reasonable slope is Of
course desirable, but "wasp waist Is tc
be found nowhere but in. remote country
districts. To see woman with pinched
waist Immediately proclaims her ignor'
ance of "what is what" Hoops also are
doomed. We wish we could say as much
of tournures, but fidelity compels rs t.
record that an artificial support for thu
skirt at the back is en- regS. while the
rest of the fullness should be due to {
crinoline or grass cloth Jupe, and not tt
steel springs.
