Senator BOgy, probably unintentionally. ad-
ministered severe rebuke to Senators and
Representatives who have been voting on then
own cases of censure or expulsion. The busiest
men in the Credit Mobilier debate and voting
thereon were those who were enveloped in
It's cloud of scandal. Senator Bogy, referring
20 the charges which have been brought
against him in the Senate, says he shall not
vote ON any questions relating to the standing

If the indications at Trenton are not very
deceptive, New-Jersey's long bondage of rail
road monopoly is near its end. The bill for a
General Railroad Law passed to its third read
ing in the Senate, yesterday, all hostile amend
ments having been promptly voted down, and
there is a prospect of its final passage with
slight opposition. The Assembly had an ami
mated discussion concerning the best way to
dispose of the bogus Senate monopoly bill,
which resulted in leaving it in the hands of
the Committee. It's clearly illegal character
ought to restrict it from occupying the atten-
ton of the Assembly for even a moment.

Camping Ont, by c. H. STEPHENS %. Il. Os-
good COZ Mr.. stephens introduced to the pubea
year or two ago OF the boy-contrbutors OF Our
Young Folks" But even then with the indulgence which
his age demanded his descriptions Of hunts and adven
lures by wood and water were marked by
drectnessl and simplicity OF style which made the fact
OF his extreme youth appear exceedingly doubtful. The
present volume purpors 10 be the experience OF party
OF boys accompanied by old skillful hunter IN the
Maine forests, fishing. hunting, and so
forth /; and there is about II hearty, homey
flavor OF reality which reminds us OF the
precious old tales OF Meshachi Browning. Whether
young or old, Mr. stephens has the power to
make himself chief friend and eolfdant OF American
boys He has two dangers to guard against desertion
OF familiar fields in the ambition to picture those OF
which he knows either less nothing, and the diution
and exhaustion OF his material In too prolific hackwr
ing Unfortunately, but few American authors have
been able afford to become true artists and 10 give
only their best work to the public We will hope Mr..
Stephens may be of the lucky, resolute number.

our publishers have set before us, we turn
with keen relish for dessert to an Offering

old friendsof ours Gerty and Trip and their brother
jack with the calves and goats in Summer, and pop

wholesome and hearty, like the sweet ripe cherries
which Trip delighted to gather or the oldfasmoned
roast apples themselves. Nothing better has been
offered ia English to children for years. Gthan these
stories, which are wildly real that we fancy they
must be personal recoections OF Trip herself and find
