STARBoARD AND PoRT-The Nettie Alongshore.
By George H. Hepworth New York: Harper &
Bros. For sale by Loring, Short & Harmon.
This is a very interesting account of a sum-
mer cruise from Boston to Gaspe up the
Gulf of st. Lawrence touching at the
Isle of Shoals, Portland, Halifax, Port Hood,
Prince Edwards Island and the town of Perez
in the beautiful Bay of Chaleur.
The yachting party were gentlemen of con.
genial disposition and enthusiastic sportsmen;
they had hearts for any fate, and whether be-
calmed on sea of glass, or tossed about at the
mercy of wind and wave; whether from force
of internal circumstances refusing their daily
sustenance, or with keen appetites assimilating
1he savory chowder. the fancy broil of their
own mackerel. the fry of their delicious trout
and salmon, they were equal to the occasion, and
were happy.
Where there was fair report OF game in air,
earth or water, they anchored and sought it.
They shot ducks, and whipped the streams for
trout, and deceived the wary salmon. 1t is al.
together book for the summer vacation Aoli.

ideas, bits of local history and statistics for the

Mr.. Hepworth's bait has no real love for sci

account of his personal beauty when landed

% Despite blind and fantastic plot this novel
is a work of great force, showing good concep'
tion of character, fine descriptive faculty, and
command of tragic situation. The leading
people in the book are skilfully portrayed
though their consistency of character is in a
measure sacrificed for the necessities of Incl.
dent-aud the situations are painted with force
and realism. As study of motive and con,
science the story will rank high, though it.
merit in these respects is marred by excess Of
plot. 1t has value, too, as sketch of mining
life, the pictures of the Welsh village and its
inhabitants being capital studies.

Gen. Roberts Eulogy.

To the Editor Of the Press:
If leading Democrat of this state would Gu
logize Robert E. Lee and on an occasion like
that of the Maine Soldiers Reunion-before an
audience composed of brave men who fought
to save the country, many of whose sufferings
were without parallel in war among civilized
nations-what could be expected from the ele-
walton of such men to power and democratic
administration of the government? One word
from Robert E Lee and our northern soldiers
in Libby prison and Andersonville would have
been treated like men. The scathing, wither.
ing rebuke of Gen. Shepley, and the approval
of the anne by the cheers of his comrades in
the war, will lead Confederate sympathizers to
be careful how they show their dsloyalty.
Leaders of the Democratic party, in the COM
ing election, would give men like Ben Hill and
the eulogis. of Lee, the apologist of Libby
prison and Andersonyille, controlling infu-
ence in the administration of the government
of the country. Shall this be so? Will North
ern freemen permit it? Shall the men be re-
stored to power who in 1860 and 1861 declared
openly and boldly for the destruction of the
best government on earth, and only that the
institution Of slavery might be perpetuated?
Heaven forbid it.
Iappeal to all men, no love the institutions
of their country, to soldiers whose sufferings
were intolerable during the war, and would
ask If the progress which has been made in
civil liberty shall be lost? The elevation of the
Democratic party to power at this time, with
what has transpired in the House of Represen-
tatives and in many of the Southern states,
would only be an acknowledgment to the world
that those who loved the Union were wrong
The constitution of the United States declares
alllmen free and equal. This has been made
the law of the land by the civil war, but has
this law been enforced? Nay verify. And until
this can be done, the mission of the Republic
can party is not eonsummated.
When men, without reference to color or con-
dition, in all parts of this great country can 90
to the polls and vote, can enjoy all privileges of
freemeD, religious and political, then let the
Republican party disband; but until then let
the ranks stand firm, shoulder to shoulder,
working out under Providence the grand des-
tiny of this great republic. The Republican
party has been one of progress and it must
cleanse itself from all corruption.
trust there will be no votes lost in our Con-
9ressional district and that no Republican will
vote to help tn Democratic party. X.

Thirty-six parts have now been issued Of

Shakpere. The work certainly goes far to sus-
tain the claim of its publishers that it is the
best edition of Shakspere published. 1t is an
imperial quarto sufficiently large to allow the
engravings to be executed on a scale of ten
inches to eight, the text is the most accurate to
be found, and the notes Of that eminent Shakes
perian scholar, Charles Knight, are of course
of high value. Numbers IS and 36 contain en-
cravings after Mulready's 'Seven Ages of

The Retreat to lvanitza.
A despatch from Belgrade says:
Colonel Antitch has retrea:ed from Yavor to
1vanitza without fighting. There are no It'd

Sientza. Ivanltza was the original base of
Zach's supplies, and there is a good military

The Times Belgrade despatch says that
Colonel Antitch's retreat to Ivanitza means a
much further retreat. Ivanitza is surrounded
by high hills, affording the Turks excellent
offensive positions The fact is that the Servan

LONDON, Aug. 11.-Further correspondence
respecting the Bulgarian atrocities was laid be-
fore Parliament yesterday, including the report
of MI. Daring, one of the secretaries of the
British Legation at Constantinople, who was
deputed to Investigate the alleged atrocities.
Among the most important papers submitted
was despatch from Lord Derby to Sir Henry
Elliott British Ambassador at Constantinople,
sent on the 9th instant, which says:
1t appears to Her Majesty's Government that
the capture of Saitschar may lead to the oecu-
patton of a considerable part of Servia by the
Turks, therefore instruct you to urge strongly
on the Porte, that it will be absolutely necessa-
~ that the troops be kept under control so that
the unarmed population may be spared, and
that repetition of the outrages in Bulgaria
may be avoided.
You will point out that a renewal of such
outmges would prove more disastrous to the
Porte than the loss of the BATTLE as the indig-
nation Of Europe would be ancontrollable, and
interference in sense hostile to Turkey would
inevitably follow
