Bits of Travel at Home, by III. III. (Boston:
Roberts Brothers: Portland Loring, Short Ss
Harmony The title of this pleasant volume
in similar style to the authors former works,
Bits Of Travel and Bits of Talk-lemaads a
word OF criticism at the very outset, and it is
surely less ungracious to quarrel with the title
page than with the contents of volume So
this IS protest against "bits," which are well
enough in the equine mouth, but are too often
upon human lips that affect artistic fashion of
speech. 1t is an elaborate avoidance of elab-
orateness, carelessness of expression that is
neither pithy to the point, or poetical. "a
bit OF talk" gives the idea of o conversation
untmely snapped; "a bit of travel" seems to
HAT at telescoped train; and "a bit of color
is not any more sensible than pinch or a snip
or chop or streak of color and not any more
definite. As to the matter of H. HIS book
it is very interesting and agreeable. The ex-
periences Of the overland journey to California
and descriptions Of the phenomenal scenery of
Colorado are interspersed with sketches of
New England landscape. The writer's style
has improved since her book of European
travel, it is mora objective, fresher, aad with
more sense of humor Occasionally her senti-
ment is little tedious and evolved, but more
often it is womanly and genuine, if not es-
pecially spontaneous. Her descriptions are
minute, effective aud highly intelligent, bat
she is sometimes led by this facility aud copi-
BUSINESS of manner to over-describe. But the
pictures that she draws are vivid, and often
lighted up by human interest, pathetic or hu-
morous, as the case may be. On the whole,

country are very artistic and full of interest.

Esther Pennefeather and Justine's Lovers
are respectively volumes l and of the Messrs.
Harper's new Library of American Fiction
The paper covers in Japanese taste are very
attractive. Esther Pennefeather is singular
and unsatisfactory story of the magnetic infiu-
ence possessed by a cold and cruel woman over
the young girls who were her pupils. 1t may
be styled unique story and would better re-
main SO. Jusine's Lovers is of the Rhod.
Broughton school, diluted, over-sugary with
sentmentality of the cheapest quality, and
with an inherent tone of smart vulgarity. not
precisely coarseness, but hopelessly common.
1t IS due to Messrs. Harper to say that they are
always most trustworthy as regards the exclu-
sion OF any Objectionable novels from their pub
fishing list-but their good taste, so rarely at
fault, will, it is to bs hoped, find better written
stories to continue series whose outer appear
ance is so well designed. portland: Loring.

Portuguese Courtship.

The young men of Portugal have
occupation more important than wear.
ing tight boots, and which almost, III
fact, goes with it-that of making the
very mildest form of love known
among men. The young gentlemen
pay their addresses by simply stand
ing in front of the house occupied by
the object of their affections, while
the young person in question looks
down approvingly from an up
per window, and there the matter
ends. They are not within speaking
distance, and have to content them
selvss with expressive glances and
dumb show, for it would be thought
highly unbecoming for young lady
to allow blllet-dOur to futter down
into the street, while the laws of grav-
itation stand in the way of the up
ward fight of such document, un-
weighted, at least. with stone, and
this, of course, might risk giving the
young lady a ablack eye, or breaking
her fathers window panes. So the
lovers there remain, often for hours,
feeling no doubt very happy, but look
ing unutterably foolish. These silent
courtships sometimes continue for
very long periods, before the lover can
ask the fatal question, or the lady re-
turn the final answer.

The Telegraph Messenger Boys.

communication from James Gam
lie relating to the employment OF
American District Telegraph boys to
carry messages to houses Of bad re-
pute and acting as escort to their IN
mates, was read lately at a meeting
Of the Anti-Cruelty Society. Mr..
Gamble takes the ground that the So
ciety has gone beyond its legitimate
SCOPE in this connection He believes
the objects sought to be obtained are
laudabIe, but that they are prompted
by false and malicious representa-
tions. He denies that the boys are
subjected to the evil influences
charged by the society, and claims
that the object of the company is to
promote their moral welfare and give
them an opportunity to acquire busl-
ness habits. He has no objections to
a committee interrogating the boys on
these subjects. He specially denies
that boys are detailed to escort dis
reputable women or serve in the Ca
pacity of walters on them. The sub
ject was generally discussed by the
members, and a conclusion arrived at,
that the evil exists, and that the soci-
ETY. has the power to abate it. The
further consideration of the matter
was continued until the next morning.
