THE BROOK Es OF BRIpLEMERE. By G., j.
White Melville, author of "Cerise," "Sarche-
DON" etc. New York. d. Appleton & Co.
This is a reprint from the English by a
rising author of note. The quiet ease and
dignity of the style well accord with the
spirit of the scenes portrayed, the actors
being mostly quiet country people, and
some Of the descriptions of country life are
very life-pictures. Nor is diversity Of incl
dent wanting, for we read the book through
with the dainty appetite Of summer break
fast.
EBB-TIDE. By Christian Reid, author Of IVA
lerie Aylmer," mabel Lee" etc. New York:
D. Appleton & Co.
All who have read the previous produc-
tons of this gifted authoress will hail with
delight fresh novel from her pen. The
scene of the present story lies partly In the
Southern States and partly in the West In
dies. With all that fire of the tropics which
has marked her previous efforts and invest
ed them with vivid interest, "Ebb-Tide"
gives evidences of the purifying spirit ina
bibed by noble minds from enlarged ex-
perience.

A REVIEW of the,frst Volume OF Alexander H.
stephens "War Between the States" By
Constitutionalist Philadelphia: Lippincott d
Co., 1872.
This is pamphlet in octave of lat pages,
presenting the unknown authors "views
of the errors in the first volume of Mr..
Stephens War between the States
published over four years ago.
It seems to be an effort to deduce
from the carly fathers, the theories Of con-
solidation that have grown up with the
present generation. 1t would be super
tiuous to state the necessary result OF such
an effort. The writer concludes with the
paradox that "the State Of Georgia, in fact,
and according to Mr.. Stephens's doctrine,
never cid secede, even as he understands
secession; and therefore, neither be nor any
other of her citizens can plead her authori
ty for taking up arms against the United
States" Those who are curious to see
what can be sal d in favor Of such PROPOSE
tons, will find interest in the work. For
sale by w. G.. Collier & Co, Union street.

Prison Discipline.

II is satisfactory to note that the recent Her
aid exposures of deficient discipline In the
Penitentiary establishments on the islands
is bearing good fruit. A Committee of the
Commissioners of Charities and Correction,
on inves igsting, found the difficulties to
exist as we had shown, and have adopted
prompt measures for their correction. The
design is tina. imprisonment shall be an ae-
tual punishment to those who are sent up
for offenses, and that they shall De usefully
employed with reference to support ing
themselves and training them for honest
industry after their discharge. Greater
strictness on the part of the guards and
keepers is to be the result of the examina-
ton which has been given to the subject By
Messrs. Frear and Bowen.-Netc York
Herald.
The recent Prison Reform Congress held
in London, at which delegates were present
from all the. civilized countries Of the globe,
it was the unanimously expressed opinion
that prison discipline, to be effective, must
be strict but kind, and that there should be
none but official intercourse between off,
GERS and guards and the prisoners. We are
satisfied that our State prison is conducted
on the plan which met such favor from the
London Congress

RecoYerY Of Stolen PrOpertY.

The Athens Post of the 18th inst, says:
Nearly all the property stolen from the es-
tablishment of Postmaster Schorn, referred
to in another place, has been recovered. Ii
was found secreted in the woods near town.
Suspicion rests on one or two parties, but
no arrests had been made up to Wednes-
day night. The thieves who robbed Tom
Caldwelps store last spring were discovered
and some Of them spprehended, convicted
and sent TO the penitentiary. Two Others
charged with house-breaking, are low in
jsil-one of whom was convicted at the
last term of the Circuit Court, but his law
yer appealed to the Supreme Court. We
notice that in some portions ofthe country
the courts are not bothered with such cases.
One morning of last week, the bodies Of
three white thieves were found hanging 10
the trees on the Public Square at Florence,
Alabama. We don't believe all the rob-
berries in this place and neighborhood are
committed by negroes-whIte parties are
no doubt connected with some of them.

REMARKABLE CASES OF LONGEVI-
TYIN CANADA.

From the Montreal Witness, sept 5.
In the parish Of st. Damien, County Of
Berthier, there is living a woman who has
attained the extraordinary age of one hun
dred and eight years. She was born in
1894 at Marquette, Mich, which was then
a trading station. Her father was French
man named Anger, and her mother an In
dian woman. In early life she came to
Sorel, in Canada, AID nearly thirty years
ago removed to St. Damien, where she is
n w living with one of her sons. She is
q lite blind and nearly deaf, but still enjoys
. degree Of physical health and soundness
O mind which are remarkable in person
80 aged. Once started in conversation,
especially if it is about the circumstances OF
her outh, she talks for long time, and
with consider able animation. She stills
keeps nearly all her hair, which is of an
iron-gray color, and long and coarse like
that of her maternal race. She relates that
when she was a girl, an Indian of her tribe,
who died at 115 years Of age, prophesied
that she would live until her hair became
white IS snow. She takes pleasure In re-
peating this story to visitors, and one might
suspect is to be q fabrication invented to
highten the interest naturally felt in one so
aged, but her family state that she has al
ways related this Story, and believes the
prophecy to be true, In the adjoining par
ish of St. Gabel de Brandon, lives another
of her sons, named Louis Goblin. He is
her frst-born, and is ninety-three years old.
He retains all his senses and physical
strength in a most remarkable degree Of
preservation. Few men of sixty years can
do more work in the fields, and this sum-
mer he came to Longueuil, where he work
ed several weeks at haying with one of his
sons

After FOrgeF.

The Pulaski Citizen of Friday says
Some two or three months ago man pro-
Tossing to represent a leading business
house In New York came through Pulaski
and presented letters of introduction to the
President of the National Bank. He made
such an impression that draft Of $500 Oh
his house in New York was casbed. In a
short time the draft was forwarded for col
lection, when it was discovered that it was
forgery, and that the same trick had been
practiced in various places in the South.
Msi. W. +. Bsllentine received information
the other day that man answering the de
scription and who had attempted the same
trick there had been arrested in Lexington,
KY, and he, together with Mr.. John A.
Richardson, started TO that place on Tues
day night with requisition for the scoun-
drel from Gov. Brown. If he is the right
man be will be brought back here for trial.

AnIndiau queen,

The Los Pinos correspondent Of the Den
yer NelUS writes:
For some time IRE, the head chief ofthe
Utes, declined to call upon the comm ssion-
ers, fearing that his people might think that
he was attempting to dispose of their rights
and privileges without their participation
and consent; and in doing this think be
manifested considerable diplomacy of high
order. His head is pretty nearly round, if
be is an Indian, and he manages the Affairs
of his tribe with much skill and dignity.
Yesterday, however, he came to our quar-
tiers, and spent an hour in conversation IN
Spanish which be speaks very well. This
afternoon the commissioners were waited
upon by the queen Of the Utes-Madam
IRE, ! suppose, she is called-who swept
down in all her royal station, attired in a
skirt of buckskin, pair Of moccasins, an
old shawl and lot of uncombed hair. She
was very coquettish in her ways, and man
ifested many of the freaks of the worldly
minded 10 her fashionable call. Royalty
among the Utes has its advantages as well
as disadvantages. 1t gives the chiefs family
position among the others, but it doesn't
bring sufficient revenue to keep them in
affluent circumstances. Mrs. Ure's house
hold is probable just the same as that OF
her meanest subject royalty doesn't change
Ute nature any.

ANOTHER HORRIBLE MURDER IN
FAYETLE COUNTY.



Near Quinn's Mill, nine miles from Som
erville, Fayette county, about sunset on
Tuesday, Sept. 10, citizen named Flynn
was shot and instantly killed by one Of two
unknown men, who rode up to his house
and asked him for drink of water. Com
ing TO the door, followed by bis wife and
children, who thought perhaps some friends
had called, Mr.. Flynn, when near the gate
where tho strangers were seated on their
horses, and when about ten feet from the
gate, was fired upon with douhle-harrel
saot gun, the contents Of which were lodged
in his throat, producing instant death. No
sooner had the shot been fired and their
v.ctlm was seen to fall dead, than the muir
derers rode hurriedly away, and were soon
beyond the piercing cries Of the wife and
children.
Since then nothing has been seen of the
assassins, who are unknown. Several men
who have been observed in the neighbor-
hood are suspected of being the murderers.
and have doubtless been arrested by this
time. The murdered man was son-in-
law Of w. t. Carraway, Esq, highly re-
spected and good stizen of Fsyette county,
whittier Mr.. Flynn had but recently re-
moved from Upton county. The murder
has aroused a widespread indignation
among the citizens, who are determined
if possible to apprehend and bring the as
sassins TO justice.
