This volume is an autobiography Of Melck-
TIanum, wife of II. II. Kibrizli-Mehcmet-
Pasha, and is an interesting and readable ac-
count Of the life of wife of Turkish
Pasha. Besides this it gives one very in
structive and undoubtedly correct notion OF
the manner Of Turkish Government, or rather
misgovernment, for although women are not
admitted or supposed to know anything about
such matters 10 the East, yet we all know
that if they are deprived of any participa-
tion in such matters either here or there, they
yet form some pretty correct judgments about
the way things are running, and draw some
pretty correct conclusions. Melek- Hanum is
no exception to this general rule and in this
volume throws considerable light on good
many dark places. Phiuney has it,
THE RErGSISG BELLE, Mrs. Ann AS.
Stepheus' new society novel, has Sus. hltsl
published by T. b. Peterson & Brothers,
Philadelphia, Pa, and will meet with very
large sale, for Mrs. Stephens stands among
the first Of our American noveists, always
teaching good moral and writing in a fas-
cinating manner; and this, her last effort, is
said to be in no way inferior to her other
books. Among our numerous noveists no
one produces such thoroughly good, because
natural, dialogues, aud you can rarely make
an accurate guess at the denouement in any
Of her novels In this as in some other re-
spects, Mrs. Stephens is infinitely superior to
many Of the writers Of the day. Phinney

lication, in book form, The END OF THE
WORLD; Love Story" by Edward Eggles-
ton, author Of 4" The Hooser School Master"
etc. Its early chapters read like Western
Idyl; but Mr. Eggleston soon gets us into
the grotesque scenes which he draws so
strongly, and Gottieb Wehle, the Backwoods
Philosopher, the Steam-D Doctor, Cynthy Ann,
the /" Hawk" the " Mud-Cerk," and, above
all, Jonas Harrison, one Of the most effective
Western characters ever drawn, make rare
gallery Of original portraits. The speeches
of Gottlieb Wehle, Jonas, Oynthy Ann aud
the Philosopher, are full of delightful hu-

the Mob Scene, the life-like p.crure Of gamb-
ling in the saloon of Mississippi steamboat,
are drawn most vividly. The interview at
the Castle can hardly be read without tears,

and " The Midnight Alarm " contain pictures
