Book Notices.

The OLD AND NEW, left by the base de- sertion of the Atlantic. New Englands chief representative Magazine, worthily fills the place it holds. The article on the ''Liquor trade two hundred years ago." proves that our fortunate ancestors who could buy a gallon of good claret wine for four pence, needed a Temper ance Crusade almost as much as their de- scendants, who now pay $12.0 gallon fof vile brandy. We wish the writer had given some statistics to show whether or not inc cheap and good wines of that day were as irritating to brain and nerves, and produced as strong tendency to riot and murder, as do the adulterated strong waters of our time. ..t
 Dr. Martineau's discussion on ssThe Church and its pretentions" is one of a series begun in this magazine about two years ago, but suspended for time by the illness of the author. Even without an acquaintance with the previous papers the present one will be found readable and instructive. ''The Rights of Tweed and other Convicts" is an interesting pa- per on prison reform. Miss Hinckley writes pleasantly on Country Sights and Sounds" The admirers of MT. Trollope will probably turn first to his story, '.The way we live now," but we, who like better MT. Perkins story of ''Scrope, turn first to that, where We find the hero engaged in an antiquarian hunt in the garret of the old Hooker mansion in Hartford. One of the pleasantest features of this story is that it takes the reader into so many in- teresting corners of the world we live in.
 The simple story of '.Achsa's Pessibil- ties," by Isabella Grant Meredith, is the best short story we have ever seen in this magazine. Thls without any disrespect to MT. Hale. aa.3f aa
 In publishing Henry Blackburn's 'sNor- mandy Picturesque" Messrs. Osgood & Go. have rendered a service which all lovers of the beautiful in architecture will heartily appreciate. It is series of charming pen-pictures. The engravings plentifully scattered through the little book, are by the Heliotrope process; while they are defective, as are photo graphs, in the matter of light and shade, they are very distinct and perfect in out line and detail. fsI s.s It is hopeful sign in regard to 'sinsu- lar prejudice" that few Englishmen are beginning to find that some good things may be produced even in our Nazareth of America. Mr. Blackburn says; 'We shall certainly be told in Europe. that no good thing in art can come from the great dollar cities of the West from people without monuments and without a histo- ry; but there are signs of intellectual en-

The market, since our last review, has
ruled quiet and steady. Liverpool was
reported quiet, with middling uplands at

York for spots was quoted dull and nom
iual with middlings at l73c, and futures
steady. New Orleans was reported quiet
with middlings at l7sc. The market
here this morning was quiet, with fair
offerings, but light demand. Buyers
were active in making inquiries, but were
unwilling to concede to holders prices;
the demand was mostly for bright cot
tons, which continue scarce. A few lists
of ordinary were taken by spinners at

The money market this morning was
quiet and devoid of animation. There
was little doing in financial circles aside
from the regular routine of business.
Collections are easy, with good deposits.
The banks are freely discounting all
first.class paper offering at 9@lO p cent
y annum; on the street money is in
abundance at l@2 p cent. U month on
good collaterals. Brokers are paying
l12for gold. Exchange continues scarce;
between banks the rates rule from $40
2 so q $1,000; on New York and Eastern
points buying at par and selling at &c
premium, and on New Orleans at fc dis
count. City bonds, coupons and Nicol-
son pavement scrip remain quiet and
steady, with few small transactions at
our quotations. County and State war
rants are steady, with very little demand
at present from taxpayers. There is
little or nothing doing in Mississippi or
Arkansas securities. Railroad stocks

WEATHER AND BUSINESS.
Weather last night was cool and
blustery, with rain. This morning it
was cloudy, with light showers Of
rain. The river here is stationary.
In the bends below here as far
down as Napoleon the river is falling.
At Cairo yesterday the river fell four
inches; at St. Louis it declined seven
inches. The Ohio is falling at Pitts
burg and Louisville; at Evansville it
rose ten inches. The Cumberland fell
one foot at Nashville yesterday. White
aud Arkansas rivers are falling There
is much distress in the overAowed dis
tricts from Napoleon down to New Or
leans, with the water still extending
over the lowlands. Business on the
levee is moderate, with little movement
in freight.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The levee between Prentiss and Beu-
lab, near Bells and the Owen place,
which is owned by Thomas Fl. Allen,
broke on Friday. The crevasse is forty
feet wios. Captain Bill Ezell, at the
mouth of White river, went down to the
break with his tug and coal fat to rem
der assistance to the submerged plan
tiers.
The James Howard passed down yes
terday loaded to the guards. She put
