This novel is a sequel to "The Dethroned
Heiress," and is a handsome. volume, uni.
form with the other works of Miss Dupuy,
and in point of interest is considered equal
to any Of her previous efforts. 1.-THE Hidden
SIM shows the consequences of an evil deed
brought home to the perpetrator. Bessie,
in the story, Is an original creation, and is a
heroine charming enough to cause the over
looking of many sins committed in her
name. The story is above the average
novel, with a plot intricate enough to
arrest and hold the attention Of the reader.
VICToR's TRIUMPH. By Mrs. Emma d. K.
n Southworth. Published by 7. B.
Peterson g. Brothers. Philadelphia. For
sale by Kahn & Co., No 100 Canal street,
New Orleans.
"Victors Triumph" is announced as a
sequel to "The Beautiful Fiend." by this
prolific authoress. We are no admirers of
Mrs. Southworth's writings, but for many
novel readers her stories have a charm that
makes them eagerly sought for and perused.
Her style is melodramatic and intense, and
her characters are highly wrought.

the work is didactic, and will prove useful.
We have also received from Ellis e. Bro
Their a cheaper edition Of Victor Hugo's

COMMON SENSE A novel. By Mrs. c. j.
Newly. Published by T. B. Peterson 4
Brothers. Philadelphia. For sale by Kahn
g. Co., No. 100 Canal street, New Or
leans.
This story is from the author of "Only
Temper" Married" and other books, and
it is enough to say that it equals them in
interest The hero is an ideal one, and the
other characters are only reflections of his
goodness and greatness. The book is of a
highly moral tone, and is open to the charge
of preaching, although it certainly is what
its title declares, Common Sense"
