part, which treats of the Doctrine of Christ's
Person, in an historical and critical review of
the differing beliefs which the church has held
from its earliest ages until now. Statistics for
this are carefully gathered from s.ious ac-

to whom is expressed the liveliest gratitude.

TYPES AND EMBLEMs. BY C. H. Spurgeon. New
York: Sheldon & Co. For sale by Lorng, Short
e. Harmon.
The book published under the title 'Types
and Emblems' contains sermous preached by
Mr.. Spurgeon at the Metropolitan Tabernacle
on Sunday and Thursday evenings. Mr. Spur
geon's writings are always in demand and there
are very many people who believe that "None
of his words should fall to the ground" To
these the collection will be very welcome. 1t
is quite unnecessary at this day to say anything
in praise of the greatest of living preachers.
The book which is clearly and handsomely
printed, contains eighteen sermons on avariety
of topics in the authors peculiar and incisive
style, and informed with his religious fervor
and brilliant enthusiasm.
CENTENIAL CELEBRATION, and Dedication OF Town
Hall, Orono, Maine. Portland: Bailey s. Noyes.
This neatly bound and clearly printed octave
of 1S0 pages contains verbatim report OF the
exercises at the centennial celebration sof the
town of OIono, and of the dedication of the
town hall, which took place March 8, 1874
The exercises on that occasion consisted of the
exhaustive historical address by the Hon. Is
rael WashburD, jr., an address abounding in
entertaining Renaissance and anecdote, an
original poem written for the celebration by
the Rev. III. G. Leonard, and of remarks by in
vited guests. The volume cannot fail TO be of
value not only to every son of Orono but to al
who are interested in the early history of New
England.
THE WRECK OF THE CHANCELLOR. By Jules
Verne. Translated by George NJ. Towle. Boston:
j. R. 0sgood q Co. For sale by Bailey & Noyes.
The latest story by Jules Verne certainly
shows no poverty in invention, and is, If any
thing, more extravagant than its predecessors.
But people are getting little tired of these
wonderful tales, and asking themselves if the
literature of improbabilities is not sufficiently
full. Still there are many with whom Jules
Verne has not lost his charm, many who will
be greatly entertained by "The Wreck of the
Chancellor" and "The Story of Martin Paz,'
which is included in the same volume. The
translation is excellently done, preserving al
the vivacity of the style of the original and
done into correct and idiomatic English.

ONE of those knowing fellows-an official
has been fooling the Belfast Age. We know
all about those fellows who seem to have
nothing else to do but to 60 about the coun-
try telling people of programmes and plans.
These officials are of that gushing kind
which Postmaster-Gene Jewell describes
as being 'too unanimous" and "sloshing
around generally" To make themselves ap-
pear prominent, they tell of things that nev-
er took place, as realities. They must talk,
and as they must talk about their own i'm
portaEce and exploits, they must do deal OF
cheap and usually harmless lying. The Off
cial who told the Belfast Age that he had
sseen'' the programme to nominate Gen.
Connor was one OF that class of officials and
was simply lying Is there no way in which
to bottle up these fellows of ''multitudinous
slack -jaw?"

AS the authorities sent out by the United
States Mint estimate the product of tine
Comstock lode this year at S35,OO0,OO0 in
silver, and next year at $4,000, 900, and as
$4,000. 900 of fractional currency have been
retired during the past six months, there is
reason to believe that specie resumption is at
hand. The withdrawal of the fractional
currency must soon cause demand for
change, demand which the immense silver
product can easily supply.

PROSPECT of acquiring territory from Mex
leo is very poor, if members of the visiting
party just returned are to be believed. They
say that the bitterness over the treaty by
which cession was made after the late war
still rankles, and that no territory can, for
long years at least, be acquired from Mexico
by the United States except in case of war.
1t is just as well.

HARVARD COLLEGE has been wrestling
with the important question whether crimson

mass meeting of students was held Thursday
evening, at which oral and documentary evil
dence was produced to- show. that crimson
was the only genuine thing and that the prac-
tice in vogue during the last eight years of
wearing magenta arose from misapprehen-
sion. After considerable discussion return
to the old color was voted by reclamation. So

IT appears that the whiskey ring isn't to be
smashed after all. The hopes of the revenue
officers have been rudely dissipated. 1t ap-
pears from the special correspondence OF the
Boston Advertiser that a man came last Feb
ruary from st. Louis and represented to Sec
retary Bristow that he had valuable informa-
ton in regard to whiskey frauds in st. Louis,
and that if he was commissioned as special
agent 80 that he could act by authority, he
would insure the breaking up Of this ring.
His statements were so specific that it was
deemed best to employ him. He returned to
St. Louis and pretended to begin work.
About week since he appeared in Washing
ton and made verbal report. He had writ
ten nothing, he had collected no evidence or
information of any value, and his course and
his associations while in Washington were
such as to cause the officers of the depart
ment to suspect that he had from fhe first
been acting as the agent Of some ring, and
that his real business was to ascertain, if pos
slble, whether the government was contem-
plating any move upon the whskey rings of
the country. When this verbal report was
made the necessity of employing him further
did not appear, and his appointment was re-
yoked. The department was much disap-
pointed by his utter failure, as it had hoped
that at last it would be able TO lay its hands
upon ring whose existence it has beer led
to suspect.

Utilizing BOreS,

In speaking Of Professor A. S. Packard's
pamphlet entitled "The Population Of an APP
pie Tree," published in the Half-Hour Series,
a French work which deals in an easy, con-
versational style with the insects that inhabit
a fruit tree" Here is new suggestion for
the agriculturist, harassed by the depreda-
tions of his small but vigorous foe. At first,
the theory of moral suasion, as appliedto the
aggressive cankerworm, seems impractical,
Quixotic. In ancient story, indeed, we read
how the sooihsayer Melampus overheard the
low voiced talk of the wood-worms; but it ap-
pears quite improbable that the busy annel-
ides of to-day would listen, in return, to the
remarks of mankind. A worm who is carv-
ing the winding galleries of his house under
the bark of tree, or arranging the pink and
white upholstery of his apple-blossom salon,
can hardly be expected to take note of out
side conversation. Moreover, he comes of
vigorous kind; the lawful prey of men and
birds, he thrives; he rather likes kerosene,
and the SAVIOR of sulphur smoke is to him as
sweetness; trodden upon, he turns. and
comes up good as new. Eloquence without
tarred paper, language unaided by printers
ink-how shall these avail?
If, however, experience prove "the easy
conversational method of determination to
be successful, an economy of force at present
worse than wasted, will be the fortunate re-
suit. Thus far in the worlds history no sat-
isfactory use has been found for the conVer-
sationalist in season and out of season; him
of the tremendous leverage power upon the
reluctant buttonhole, and upon whom all
signs of impatience Or haste are lost; whose
variations are long past endurance, and far
too diaphanous for the credence Of this
work-a-day world; whose puns are selected
from the mouldering dust of embalmed iests
of which the origin is lost in the early twi-
light of the ages; whose conundrums would
have been derided as trite by the victims of
the Sphinx; and whose epigrams must origi-
nally have appeared as loaded cuneiform
matter in the Assyrian Court Gazette in
the days of good King Minus; he who
lies in wait on 'change or in the post
Office, and, descending upon an uncon-
scious group, presently uncoils his fearsome
length of unpleasant argument until the old
time horror of LAGOON is come again-inten-
sified in the degree in which mental suffer-
ing exceeds physical.
This sinister being, the bore, must have his
place, his work in the universe. Power so per-
sistent, so inexorable, must be directed and
utilized. Let the endless enuncator sit and
muse aloud under his own apple-tree. Let
the country folk hire him to walk through
orchard ways white with the fallen blossoms
of the pear Above all let his fellow citizens
subsidize him to silence in the streets and
among men, that SO his "winged Words may
more effectually chase the moth, and bore
the borer, and by rendering the life of the
caterpillar burden resign it to the still and
dusky death of its cocoon.
