IHE JEWELLERS IN FIVE SISTERS COURT. By
IL. e. Scudder. Published by Hurd 81 Houghton,
N. Y. For sale by LOring Short g. Harmon.
This cnaIming, original and unpretending
little romance gives unmistakable evidence of
exceptional talent in its author. The plan
OF the story is simple, recording the doings of
some very odd but interesting people, the in
habtants of one of the quaint byways that rem
der Boston labyrinthne wonder to the un-
wonted. The characters are exceedingly well
drawn, with piquancy of detail and much hu-
NOR together with the delicate minuteness
that prevails in the school Of fiction which in
cludes Howells, James and others. But in
Mr. Scudders' work are to be noted more de-
cided vitality and abandon and less of over fine-
Iy spun analysis and polite dread of the emo
tional than often characterize the works of these
authors among whom he is to take his rank.
The sincerity and admirable local color of the
book are very striking. Outside of Boston its Der
sonages could have had but an imperfect SEM
blance of life. In Maine they would have been
uncomfortable, in New York impossible, 1t
is not proposed to vulgarize Mr.. Scudder's
delicate and beautiful work by darkly limiting
that he is to be looked to for the "great Ameri-
can novel; but if the varied and distinctive
phases and limits of our civilization could each
be treated as Mr.. Scudder has depicted that of
Boston and its vicinity-the result would be a
brilliant and satisfying series CT Photographic
pictures of our day, faithful and minute, from
which another century would easily reconstruct
this one.

To their excellent series of books for the in

Ford & Co. have added this little volume con-
tanning forms for the organization of rifle asso-
Citations, bylaws, rules for practice and compe-
titiOn, practical hints ranges, targets, rifles

His aim has been to make pocket guide book
of handy reference for riflemen.
The CHINESE PROBLEM. By L. I. Townsend, au-
thor of "Credo." Boston: Lee g. Shepard. For
sale by Loring, Short s. Harmon.
During the summer of 1875 DR.. Townsend
| while on the Pacific coast made critical study
of the Chinese problem. From the data OBJ
tained articles were written for the religious
press. These articles are now published in
pamphlet form. They will repay careful Pc
rusal. The author treats his subject from
Christian standpoint, believes that the Chinese
immigration to this country is a proyidential
| event, and protests vigorously against the sell
| fish aud unenghtened policy of California.

''May;;" Youth and its Troubles
The North american Reuieao for July con-
tains its usual feast of reason, and the pleas
ant exercise of the mind experienced in its
consumption is as stimulating as old wine. In
the first article Mr.. Gamaliel Bradford dis
cusses the Proposed Charter fer the City of
Boston. He has entered into the principles of
city government and used Boston rather to
illustrate his argument. The lack of personal
responsibility he regards as the root of bad
government. To remedy the evil he would have
the mayor chosen by election and delegate to him
the appointment of heads of departments whoin
turn should have the power of detailing inferior
appointments. A very interesting and scholar
ly article on italian Popular Tales by 7. f.
Crane. occupies the second place. Mr.. Lewis
H. Morgan contributes another able article
upon the Aborigines under the title of Houses
of the Mound Builders. Much of the informa-
ton given is new, and the reasoning is very
ingenious. The house-life of the Aborigines
and the probable fact of their emigration from
a warmer climate into more northern regions,
as in Ohio, necessitated the building of mounds
for the foundations to their houses. The
mounds afforded protection and the enclosed
areas were used for gardening purposes and
also as a common. AS they lived more es-
