Co. New Orleans: r. G. Eyrich.
Novel readers who enjoyed the treat of a
perusal of Mrs. Randolph's "Gentianilla, "
which made its appearance last year in Por-
ter & Coatess International Series," will
hail with delight the appearance of new
story from the same graceful pen. Like
Gentianilla, wild Hyacnth is a love
story in the strictest sense of the word, and
is distinguished by the same pleasant tinge OF
romance and the same graceful air of novelty.
MICE AT PLAY. A story for the whole family.
By Neil Forest Illustrations by Sol
Eytinge. Boston: Roberts Brothers. New
Orleans: R. G. Eyrch.
OF the unusually large number of attract
| i've Juveniles which have made their appear
ance in anticipation of the coming holidays
this is one of the very best. Elegant in ap-
pearance, appropriate in Illustration, charm
ing in narrative, invaluable in lessons subtly
conveyed without the remotest allusion to the
| so-dreaded moral of the ordinary child s
book, we know of no volume we would so
heartily commend to both parents and chill
dren as Mice at Play.

NOTES OF TRAVEL IN SOUTHWESTERN AFRICA
| BY j. G. Anderson. New York: G. z.
| Putnam's Sons. New Orleans: Il. G. Ey-
rich.
| John Charles Anderson, the Swedish
traveller, was one of the bravest of African ex-
plorers, one of the most enthusiastic of sports
| men, one of the most obseryant OF naturallsts.
What Livingstone achieved for the East
Coast of Africa Anderson did for the West,
and his name will rank with those of Living
stone, Speke Bruce and Baker. His previous
works, "Lake Ngami," "The Okanango
River" etc., received distinguished notice
from the highest literary and scientific au-
thorities OF Europe. A melancholy interest
attaches to the present volume, as it is based
| upon his latest memoranda, carried down
almost to the day of his death; supplemented
by the story of his last hours, as narrated by
his faithful servant, Axel Ericsson.
| The HISTORY OF Ny FRIENDS; Oh HOME LIFE
| WITH ANIMALS. Translated from the
French OF Emile Achard. New York: G.
P. Putnam's Sons. New Orleans. Il. e.
| Eyrich.
An excellent translation of an admirable
work, illustrative of the characteristics of va
rious pet animals including not only the
usual cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, horses, etc.,
but a monkey, gazelle, bear, lioness, and
| even-strange to say-an ostrich.
The stories are most charmingly told, and
| will interest parents. as we'll as children.
HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA
| Vol 1. By the Comte de Paris. Trans
| lated by Louis F. Ta,istro, and edited by
Henry Coppee, LII. D. Philadelphia:
JOS. Fl. Coates & Co. New Orleans: Il. G.
| Eyrich.
| This is "the first attempt at full and con-
nected military history Of the whole war, 4"
and has been pronounced by prominent liter
ary critics, and by others who had ample op-
portunity to judge of the correctness of the
authors statements, to be a work of great
literary merit as well as of unquestionable &C
curacy. Being written by foreigner, it is
undoubtedly free from all party spirit or bit
terness that might creep into such work If
written by an American. We commend Pc
rusal of this work to all who would obtain
definite information relative to the great
struggle
