been made in Washington during the past
winter, we arc naturally forced to con-
cludc that these must be but u small cut

of this terrible aud intensely interesting
history. The author carries his readers
" Behind the Scenes" or the great politi
cal drama Of our governmental life, and
shows us the actors who are charged with
the most vital interests Of the country,
stripped Of the brilliant hues and attrac.
tons which partisan admiration has
thrown around them, and exhibits them
to us as they really are.
