While evidently sympathizing much with
their power and discipline, as evinced not on
ly by the successes Of their army in the field,
Dut Dy Its general organization, Gen. Hazen
still shows his high appreciation of all that is
specially noteworthy in the French system,
both In government and military affairs.
Though there is much in the book pecu-
LARRY adapted to those specially concerned
In army matters, there is also much to inter
est the general reader, and those who desire n
condensed account of the origin and progress
of the Franco-German War, and the causes
that led to it, will find themselves repaid by
a careful perusal of the book.
The description of Bismarck, and also that
of Gen. Won Moltke, is very comprehensive,
and brings out these characters most clearly
and distinctly.
There is also full and succint account of
the French and German educational systems,
both civic and military, and one cannot fail to
be impressed with the idea of how much
many OF the peculiarities Of each national
character, are developed If not created by the
differences in their early educational training.
The style OF the book is simple and direct,
and while evidently written by soldier, gives
many pleasant pictures of both French and
German home life
Gen. Hazen has shown in this work that
he can use the pen as well as the sword and
has added to his already distinguished reputa-
tion. To all who feel interested in the sub
jects treated of, we commend its perusal

ONLY THREE WEEKS is an interesting
book, and one the reader will finish, to the

weak of purpose; and the heroine strong

HEALTHY HOUSES, by VIM. Eassie, G. E.
1t is lamentable fact that there are very few
houses built with due regard to known sani-
tary laws. The vost majority of dwellings
are at best but boxes designed to protect hap
less mortals aud their property from sun and
storm. Often indeed are seen in these struc-
lures attempts at beauty of design, but rare
ly well-directed efforts at drainage, ventilation
and heating. Among the opulent only do we
see any considerable attention devoted to
these all important topics, while in the habi-
tations of the poor, we generally find the
means for disposing of waste matters and pro-
viding fresh air to be simply accidental, and
the apparatus for heating of the worst posi-
BILE character. With such state of affairs,
the wonder is not why people are sickly and
die young, but how they are ever well and
live to matdre age.
The little book before us is written to show
the common errors of house building in these
respects and the best way to avoid and cor
rect them. The author is man of wide ex-
periencs, who goes about his work in most
practical way, and has made book that it
will be poor economy for anyone who contem-
plates building or buying a house to do with
out. Published by ID. Appleton & Co. For

The editor of the Atlanta Weekly writes !:
"Our sub-editor, the amenable young man
so often alluded to in our columns, came into
our Office the day after we printed our ac-
count of how things were "set to rights"
BY wild flash in his eye, like that of an jim
turiated lamb, we knew that sub. meant busi-
ness. Pm going to leave this Office for good,
he began. We didn't say anything except
WELL which is always safe to say. Truth
lies in well, you know. THE way that you
wrote up the benevolent effort made by my
beloved sister to inaugurate a transitory sem
blance of order in your disgracefully disor-
ganized sanctum, is an unparalleled perver-
sion of the power of language We thought
it quite possible, but not having the una
bridged at hand, preserved dignifed silence.
Our sub-editor put on his hat. Why is it
that putting on hat always seems to con-
centrate mans vindictiveness? Is it that
it corks, as it were, his bottled-up wrath {?
You called her an inexorabls old GIRL con-
tinued our sub. Tnexorable is good word
we said, it icGs wrong to call her girl; we
won't do it again. Let's compromise; never
mind about the DID," Something in our
manner softened the heart of the sub-editor.
We rushed toward each other, we said What
shall part us?' And now there are no more
united and devoted friends in Atlanta than
are the chief and sub-editor of the Weekly.

TRIUMPHANT FOR TWENTY YEARs.-Mor
than twenty years ago the MUSTANG LINnENT
made its debut in the West. Its cures of the
various external diseases of horses and cattle
astonished the planters and farmers of the
Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and demand
for it sprang up which necessitated its manu-
facture on an extensive scale. Soon the dis
oovery was made that it was grand specific
for rheum atism, gout, neuralgia, earache, tooth
ache, and other external ailments of mankind.
Then it was tried as healing, pain-killing APP
plication, in cases of outward injury, such as
cuts, bruises, burns, spasms, &C., and was
found equally serviceable. The fame of the
new remedy for some of the most painful ills
that afflict mankind and the lower animals,
spread rapidly, and MUSTANG LINIMENT soon
took rank in every State and Territory of the
Union as a STANDARD CURE.

Musical Notes.

The enterprising directors of the new Ma
tional College of Music have engaged as
teacher Of italian singing, Signor Cirillo of
Naples. He is said to be one of the finest of
the italian masters of singing and belongs to
the school of true vocalists who following the
traditions of the ancient masters, by ltheir
sound technical and theoretical knowledge
of music and the right use of the voice, were
enabled to obtain such brilliant results.
Signor Cirillo was pupil of the Naples Con-
servatory, at the expense of Government,
having won his place by victory over four
teen other competitors. His studies included
Singing, Composition, the Piano-forte and
Organ. We have no doubt from the warm
praises of Signor Cirillo's merit and talent
that he will do credit to himself and to the
Mendelssohn Quintette Club who have offer
ed him the professorship. AT the time of this
engagement, he had under consideration
fiattering offer from Genoa, and that of a
musical dictatorship in government institu-
ton at Athens. The department over which
Signor Cirllo will preside will be that of the
culture and development ofthe voice; Il the
pupil select italian singing as his specially,
the course OF instruction will .be completed
under the care of this professor, but if Ger
man song or oratorio be chosen there viii be
found at the College competent masters in
these branches. tits with much pleasure we
hear of the arrangements which are being
made for the college, and wish the Quintette
Club all success in AN undertaking so truly
artistic in its aims.
