TESTED; OR, HOPES FRUITIoN. A Story Of
Wolnans Constaney. By Celia E. Gard
ner. Published by G. W. Carleton &
Co., New York. For eale by George
Ellis 4 Brother, No. s. Camp street, New
Orleans.
This story has about il what should
make it successful as romance. It is not
a great ore. however. The writer d.
crosses from her narrative for much de-
scriptive writing, and that given is not of
the best kind. Description is not her forte.
As it is, the story is pleasant and readable
enough.
FoR Love AND LIFE. A novel by Mrs.
Oliphant. Published by Harper l.
Brothers, New York. For sale Dy George
Ellis & Brother. No. s. Camp street,
New Orleans.
THE is a pleasantly written Scotch story,
in which some old characters reappear. 1t
has mostly 20 do with loves and lives
crossed by opposi ng fstes; some Of them
tragic. A softened and pathetic character
is that Of Granny Murray, which is natural
and we'll drawn. Mrs. Oliphant has writ
ten many stories, and 10 constantly i'm
proving as a writer. Instead o; producing
many pictures from the same study, sLe
makes new stories from new sources. She
grows and creates, and hec books are read.
JUSTIN HARLEY. A Romance Of Old Vir-
ginia. By John Esten Cooke. Published
by ClaxtOn, kems en- & Haffelfuger, Phil
adelphia. For eale by James A. Gresham.
No. 90 Camp street. New Orleans.
That q new book nigh, be written is the
one perceptible reason why jus tin Harley
is put forth TO readers. ''Surrey OF Eagles
Nest" 6y the same author, had purpose.
and it claimed readers because Colonel
Cooke served with Lee and jackson. The
fact now is no indu cement TO read o book.
Books should stand OK 1all according 70
merit. ''Justin Harley" has no. much
to claim attention, or stand on. Ii
10 romance Of Virginia life in the
days Of slavery, Of first families an
big plantations. 1t il highly wrought, sen.
satiOnal. A young man Of good fortune
and little else, is the hero. Early in life he
finds himself eros sed in love, which fac,
brings melancholy upon him, and for years
renders him pale and interesting, until a
a more comfortable destiny. The narrative
is spiced ana sand wiched by incidents
| enough to keep imagination alive. The
book is illustrated by W. L. Sheppard.

The state Library.

A visit to the State Library discloses a
great improvement within the past two
years. Il is now situated on Common
street. between Dryades and Baronne, in
the building formerly used as the Medical
College. The rooms are now nicely kept,
and the books, numbering about $4,000
volumes, instead of being in danger of per
ishing from neglect, are well taken care of.
A new and more convenient classification
has been adopted, and the works on bi-
ography. history, geography, and especially
the large number on jurisprudence, so 2is
tributed that needed volume is found
with the greatest ease.
The excellent condition of the library
and books, and the careful compilation OF
anitntire new catalogue, is due to those who
now have it in charge, Mrs. NJ. C. Ricard,
the librarian, and her assistant, Mrs. NJ
Barlow. and the support and assistance
given them By Hon. p. G. Deslonde, Secre
tary of State.
The library has passed throug b many Sc
we're ordeals-once destroyed by fire II
1873, losing many of it's most valued con
tents in Confederate times, and suffering
from neglect in later years but its pres
poets now look brighter. If it continues tC
be under the care OF as faithful and Gem
peten. an administration as it now has, /,
will become one of the most important aEd
creditable Of the public institutions Of

census classed as above twenty-one all per-
sons whose ages we're unknown. We know
that most white persons above the age OF
puberty would be able to state their ages;
SO that very few white persons would be
classed improperly. while many negroes
can give no accurate information on that
subject. Very few white people under
twenty -one would be elias ssed as of .ha' age,
while many negroes under twenty-one
would be classed over twenty-one from
their mere inability to state their ages.

The Figures Testify.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Having read ith considerable interest
and care the address of Messrs Marr and
others, published in the bulletin OF the
twenty-fourth instant, my attention was
particularly attracted to two points. re-
view of which may no. be out OF place at
this time.
The first is the formidable array OF figures
from the ninth census, which at first glance
would appear sufficiently convincing had
the whole case been stated, but lawyer like.
these gentlemen select from the whole lntrl-
cate set Of tables only what answers their
purpose, and their published figures are cor
rect only 80 far as they 60.
Let us carefully examine the fables as
given, and the conclusions derived from
them by Mr. Marg and his committee. 1
quote from their address:
~ The census of 1870 was taken IN the
months Of July and August, when. as IS
well known thousands OF the white people
were absen. from the State, IN the pursuit
of pleas ure or business.
