Ts,af Wife of Mine

Is, in the words Of the able critic Of
the Bostcn Journal, agreeably disap-
pointing. Ii really marks a decided
advance in authorship, and is a better
book, every way, than its predecessor.
1t has Il stronger plOt-and more Of
it; the characters are more distinct in
their individuality and better drawn:
and the construction is not SO light and
tyifing as in the other book The
" wife" this time is a German girl,
Lissa-b-ight, capricious. willful, af-
fectionate, tantalizing. The hus>
band is the "Charlie" of the other
book, whose traits-as he is this time
the teller Of the story-are not par
ticularly emphasized. The Professor,
Lissa'S brother; "Jo," Charles
halfsister; Miss Walters, with whom
the Professor is awkwardly but desper-
ately in love; and Tiddy," a negro
woman, are among the other charact-
ers.

A GOOD LAW GoNE.-Some two years
ago Maj. Absolom Koiner while in the leg
lslature got through dog law fer Angus
ia county, which yielded the first year 81 500
and the second year $500 to the county
clear after paying for the sheep killed. One
more year of this law and next year the
county levy laid would have been only
about one cent instead Of twelve. Last
session Hon. J. Davis Craig got through Il
modification of the law reducing the tax
on dogs one-half, and the result is, as we
are informed 10y the officials, that the in
come from the dog law will not more than
pay or the sheep killed and if any extraordi-
nary losses occur it won't do that So the
county levy instead of being reduced TO
cent will have to be kept Oh the land, tie
place where 1t makes the growing. Ii MI.
Craig goes back next winter we hope tie
first thing he will do will be to Change the
law
