who was stolen by aipsies. His adventures in
the van, in the village fairs, his efforts to es
cape, the friendship of the gypsy, leila, for
little Adelbert, the gentle, fragile lilly, and
lastly the joyful meeting of Adelbert with his
father and mother-form a lively series of
scenes.
'Four Gold Pieces is tranquil story of the
life of a girl OF Normandy. Its merit is in its
careful, pleasant style, and the lessons of af-
lection and content that it emphasizes. AL
though it can scarcely be said that it has any
plo'. the interest of the story is well sustained /;
and with its low-toned colorng and simple out
lines it forms pretty genre sketch.
"Roberts' Holidays" is, on the whole, the
most attractive of the three volumes designed
for children. 1t is little boys journal of his
vacation at the seaside, written for his mamma
The grace, naioete, and sweetness of this story
deserve much praise. Without any set design
of improving the occasion to enforce moral les
sons, Its tone is SO refined, 30 good and so
agreeable that it is a book particularly fitted
to be placed in the eager hands of good little
bows

of internal revenue, in letter to Col. Young.
collector of the 4th dist of Nort; Carolina. in
forms him that the department does not ap
prove of pepotism and that certain dismissals
must be made.
The Vice Presidents Condition.
Vice President Wilson's condition shows no
material change. He slept well during last
night The doctor to-day ordered the discon-
tinuance of quinine and prescribed mild tom
&c. He expects to be able to ride out to-mor-
row.
Consolidation of Internal Revenue Dis.
tricts and Appointment of Commits
siOners.
The President to-day issued orders CONSOLE
dating the internal revenue collection districts
throughout the country, and retaining the coll
lectors, including the following: Franklin J.
Rollins, retained as collector of the district
formed by the consolidating the LIST, I'd and Sd
districts of Maine, to be known hereafter as the
LIST district; Hiram Ruggles, retained as collec-
tor Of district formed by consolidating the 4th
and 9TH districts of Maine, to ba known here
after as the 4th district; Andrew 81. Young,
retained as collector of the district formed BY
consolidating the LIST, I'd and Sd districts of
New Hampshire, to be known hereafter as the
I'd district; Chas. S. Dana, retained as collector
OF the district formed by consolidating the I'd
and Sd districts of Vermont, to be known here.
after as the Sd district.
The Naval Preparations.
1t is said in naval circles that the repair and
preparation of vessels have no more reference
to Spanish affairs than to those of any other
country. There is no excitement here concern
ing Spain or Cuba. The President sometime
ago while conversing on Cuban affairs merely
referred to what be heretofore said in his an
nuatmessage, but gave no intimation as to what
he should say ON the same subject in the next
message to Congress.
Customs and Internal Revenue.
From July LIST to Oct. 31st thete was a fall
ing off in customs receipts probably to the ex.
tent Of $3,000,0OO as compared with the cores
ponding months of last year, but this month
the receipts are much larger than for the first
nineteen days of November. 1874 The inter-
nal revenue receipts show an increase for July,
August, September and October of this year as
compared with last year Of So, 400, 199. 1t is ex-
pected that the increase for November will be
a million and half. The increased receipts
from the increased tax on distilled spirits from
20 to 80 cents gallon have not been as large
as anticipated, but there has been an increase
ofreceipts from tobacco and snuff, owing to a
change OF tax from 20 to "a cents per pound.
