Kenneth, My King. A Novel. By SALLIE
A. BROCK. New York: G. W. CARLETON
& Co.
Miss BROCK is the sister of DR.. BROCK, OF
this city, and of the late DIR. j. B. BROCK,
the journalist, who persisted in the capitol
when the floor of the courtroom fell in.
Miss BROCK is gifted lady. We have not
read her book, but give the following slate
mcut of its plot:
KENNETH DAERow, the hero Of the ro-
nance, a man without fear and without re-
proach, is tried in every sensitive point
| which could attach to q man of unlmpeach-
able honor and incorrupt integrity, and
through every ordeal comes out as gold from
the cruciblc of the refner. In sad contrast
is the instinct and principle of his brother
| RICHARD, whose tragical death is a fit ternli-
nation of career in which both God and
man were defed. In BARBARA JOHNSON we
bave character as strikingly boldand oriSl-
nal as many of DIcKESs's, while each one in;
troduccd is wrought up with the fidelity OF
nature and with the artistic finish which
could only be acquired through the expe-
rience of conscientious authorship and the
tact OF the facile and fluent writer.

Life in Sonto Domingo. BY Settler. With
an Introduction Explanatory by RICHARD
3. KlMBALL, author Of "St. Leger," DC.
New York: G. W. CARLETON u Co.
This book is gotten up after the manner
and purpose of those charming railroad
books which are so tempting to settlers. 1t
appears at happy period to push the San
Domingo scheme. Everything in the "Set-
tiers" life Is of the color of tue rose. His
patch, his garden, and his field, all produce
magnifcentIy under the system of American
tilage. The ground pays for itself in lit
tie while, and does great many other
things.
But the "Settlcr" gives little concerning
the inhabitants at argeand their domestic life
and political and moral condition. ltwoulGn't
makes few acquaintance, and has two or
three assistants in his farmers life on a small
scale. His daily round of labors is simple
ard common enough, and told in pleasant
style. Let those who desire to follow his
example and become :, "fellow-citizen OF
the "parrots" and "liZzards" do SO. We
suspect that lie vii, ia white farmer, find it
better to write book for the northern COM
pany of spectators in st. Domingo land than
to cultivate it. Yet the island is really one
Of The most fertile spots Of the globe, and the
negro will find it a paradise.

Theodore. BY n. j. w. LA CATO. New
York LANCE, LITTLE d HILLMAS. Printed
Tor the Author.
This is poetic narration of the fate of
TuroDoKA and her lOvcr,a "Robcl," who
becomes her husband the night on which
they Perish in the salt saltwater of the
Chesapeake. The story is located In Acco-
mac county. on the shores of the Chesa-
pc Ike, and in point Of time In the midst Of
the late civil war. The author is also a ma.
tive of Accomac. We have this to say of it I:
That it is the best domestic poem Of its
length we have seen for long time. With
some exceptions of ungraceful and unfel;ci-
tous points the vcrsifcation is smooth, plea
SAINT, and Glnciful. We should say the au-
thor has the poetic gift in quite respectable
degree.
We suppose it is to be had at the book
