The YOUNG OUTLAW; or Adrift in the Streets.
By Horatio Alger, Jr. Published by Loring,
Boston. For sale by Loring, Short and Harmon.
An undesirable specimen of pernicious
though well meant line of juvenile fiction that
in which the young reader is introduced into
the society Of bad boys intended as an awful
warning, but whose adventures are so spiced
with interest as to render them after all some
whata matter for emulation in spite of the dep.
recation of which they are the subject All who
are familiar with children know that they are
more easily led than driven, more apt to follow
example than be deferred by precept-and that
early acquaintance with coarse, dishonest and
riotous boys, like the Young Outlaw, is more
apt to afford a mould in which to form their in
determinate impulses of lawlessness, than to
strengthen their dislike to whatever is unwor-
thy. The book is written in poor, and rather
coarse style, and is not to be recommended as
an addition to any boys library.
Cox's GENERAL HISTORY OF GREECE. MER-
vILLE's GENERAL HISTORY OF ROME. The Stu
dents Series. New York: Harper s. Brothers.
For sale by Lo1ing, Short & Harmon.
Harper & Brothers have added to their ex.
cellent Students Series the admirable gen.
eral histories of the two great nations of an
tiquity prepared by Mr.. George w. Cox and
Dean Merivale. These two works are now
standard authorities on their themes, embrac-
ing as they do the results of the latest re-
searches and the most critical scholarship.
The Harpers have done wisely in republishiug
them in this form, meeting popular demand,
and adding much to the value and complete
ness of the series.
NONSENSE SONGS, by Edward Lear. Roberts
Bros Boston. From Loring, Short & Harmon.
Since the Centennial Committee have invited
the world to come and listen to Mr. Laners
song, there is no reason why volume of non
sense songs should not be received as litera-
ture provided it be good nonsense But good
nonsense cannot be manufactured; it must
come as inspiration from Nonsense Land
which is undou btedly
"The land where the bong-tree grows.'
or it is swept away by the "river of Time.''
Mr.. Lear has evidently visited that fairy. land
once in his dreams and brought back the song
of the ''Owl and the Pussy-cat," bat since then
he has not been permitted to eat with ':a runci-
BILE spoon and the rest of the book is not fun
ny In hot weather.

lshed by Estes s. Lauriat, Boston. For sale by

1t has nothing in it to suggest the title except
that it is above suspicion of being interesting
while none of the characters are above suspic.
ion, being either fools or knaves; the plot is
badly drawn and the composition common-
place. A good illustration of the makeup is
the introduction of stories of preoocious child
speeches after the manner of Harper's Editors

Ex,Gov. Baxte of Arkansas thinks the st.
Louis ticket is ve.y strong one.
The Portland daily press., 1876-07-01

THE compromise which the hard and soft
money Democrats made at 81. Louis is one
in which the latter gets the substance and
the former the shadow. The hard money
men did not want the resumption act re
pealed, the soft money did. So they com.
promised by resolving in favor of its repeal
and then sugar coated the pill by declaring
that the repeal would hasten specie payment
Tom Ewing, who seems to be honest but
deluded, objected to such lodging and wanted
the truth told, viz. that the Democratic
party favored the repeal of the resumption
act because it committed the country to hon.
est money.
The Portland daily press., 1876-07-01

WHEN our Democratic friends are making
their boasts of the purity of the public SER
vice under Democratic administrations, it
will be well to call their attention to tha
statement they recently called out from the
Treasury Department, showing the balance
due from public officers no longer in
the service. The statement covers a
period of forty-one years. and the total
amount of such defa]cation foots up $7,255-
600. This is an average of fifty-one cents
per one thousand dollars of fund collected.
But in the period from 1884 to 1S61-during
which the Democrats were almost continu-
ously in power-the average defalcation
rises to ea.ee per 81 200, while from 1851 to
1875 under Republican rule it drops to "a per
cent. for each one thousand dollars, In the
disbursements the showing is equally
damaging to The Democracy. From 1884 to
1861 the defaults or losses in paying out
averaged $9.02 to the thousand; and only
seventy-eight cents per thousand since 1861.
Now that the same old Democratic party is
asking to be restored to power it will not be
amiss to keep these facts in mind. The ex-
hibit is so terribly damaging to the Demo-
Gratis that it is not likely the departments
will be troubled to make any more compare
sons at their request.
The Portland daily press., 1876-07-01
Early Growing.

Our Democratic exchanges are very happy
over the nomination of Gov. Tilden. Of
course the argus announces itself prophet
and declares that the ticket is sure to win.
And this reminds us that the same prediction
has been made when the "best ticket'' has
been announced for every presidential elec-
tion since 1860. In 1872 the announcement
was made with more gush and fervor than
now. Another Democratic organ speaks of
Hayes and Wheeler as orphans. That is very
funny. Our Democratic friends are discreet.
The past twenty years have been political
desert to them and they have learned to en-
joy all they can before election. They have
heard the old story Of the Irishman who
thought it very funny to attract the attention
of bull which was paving the dirt by MINI
licking him, but who presently found himself
on the other side of the fence in dilapidated
condition, where he moralized :-"Its moighty
lucky for me that I had me fun fiurst."
Gentlemen, go on with your fun, talk about
victorious columns, fire your caunon, burn
your torches, make your speeches, "serry in
solid ranks" and all that, your fun will end
for four years in November.
Doubtless Mr.. Tilden is strong candidate
for the east. He will get every Democratic
vote. Some other man would have lost
few--but only q few since the Democratic
masses are never particular about a candi-
date so long as he is the candidate. Were
it not for this Confederate Congress Gov.
Tilden might have received few Republican
votes if Mr.. Tilden is the reformer his frie nds
advertise him to be and not the trickster and
political mountebank that the New York Er-
press and Cincinnati Enquirer have been
showing him to be the past few weeks.
Gov. Tiden has to pass the next four
months under the full glare of day. Many
prominent Democrats who are intimately
acquainted with him in his own state, as well
as his political opponents, assert that he has
neither the character or record to stand such
a test. Where he is not known he has a
Fictitious reputation as a reformer; but with
the burning blaze of long canvass the sham
will melt away. There is his long identifica-
ton with Tweed and Tammany when in the
height of their power and infamy. There is
his Craftsmanship of the Democratic State
Committee through the worst period of Dem
ocratic ascendency. There is his participa-
ton in the election frauds which Horace
Greeley charged home upon in 1868 There
is his record of railroad jobbery, the character
of which is attested by the accumulation of a
fortune estimated at 100000 in ccmpar-
atively brief period.
When all these matters are carefully ven-
tila!ed, it may happen that the only Demo-
crat in the land who has advertised himsel
as reformer may prove an imposter.

after his settlement in Vermont and had a
family of nine children-three sons and six
daughters. Rutherford Hayes, the father was
the second son of the former. and until his
marriage to Sophia Brchard of a neighborng

The CeuShatta Outrage.

Senator Twitchell of CouShatta, was ex-
amined at Red River, La, by the sub-commit-
tee OF Congress. The. correspondent of the
New Orlnans Bulletin, Democratic news
| paper, thus describes the scene. Will Demo-
cratic newspapers hereabouts, who have so
| much to say about 'the bloody shirt" please
copy:
The committee entered Capt. Twitchelps
room, and after an introduction to the Captain,
who was lying ON his back as helpless as an
infant with both arms cut off above the elbow,
Col. vance, the Chairman of the committee
explained the OBJECT of his visit, and read the
resolution OF Congress, under which authority
they were acting, and in his gentle, kind and
courteous manner asked Capt. Twitchell if he
felt able to give his testimony in regard to the
unfortunate affair which they were appointed
TO Investigate, promising that if he felt ia
tigued at any time the investigation could be
continued the next day, but that the committee
were particularly anxious to get his testimony
nrst, otherwise they would be cropping in the
dark. The Captain consented. The examina-
ton lasted one hour and half, at the end of
Whlch time he seemed as calm and collected as
az the beginning, assuring the committee he
felt no fatigue from the examination. He is
certainly man of great nerve and vitality
Capt. Twitchell stated that no less than
twenty or thirty shots were fired; did not know
whether King fired or not; he was shot after
hlng was killed: does not know the man who
did the shooting; he had heard the names of
several parties, but none of them did the
shooting; the man who did conld have no per-
sonal enmity against him; he was hired as
sassin; he had never been threatened except
by democrats. out of about fifty or sixty Re-
publican families residing in Coushatta ionly
about fifeeen or twenty remained.
capt Twitchell stated that he was State Sem
ator President of the Police Jury, u. S. Com
missioner. Disbursing officer of school funds,
and President of the School Board. There was
no salary attached to the latter position, and
ne only took charge of it because the people
