"vIyIAN THE BEAUTY"


''vivan the Beauty" new story, by Mrs. Annie
Edwards. just issued in Appleton's Handy Volume
series, is in that ladys characteristic STYLE The
principal figure is slapdash carcature Of the PRO
fessional beauty of the present day. Among the
other characters Mrs Edwards admirers will recog-
nze old friends. notwithstanding the thin veil
which change of scenery. costumes and names
throws over them. The readers Of IA Vagabond
Heroine" will not fail to acquaintance with
that character in Jeanne Dempster. the little Epg-
lish maiden brought up by her aunt III gloomy old
Schloss EGmond. in the Black Forest. and who
grows up in love with the young Count whom she re-
members only as boy ere he disgraced his family by
leaving home to become artist in foreign lands.
Herr Wolfgang. an unknown youth. who turns up
in the Black Forest aud is engaged as tutor to the
lonely little maiden and wins her love "for himself
alone." is by the reader to be the lost Count
long before he makes himself known as such to his
afRsnced and the world. It is the story Of Cinder
ella again, the matrimonial prize being carried
off by the daspised heroine from the clutches OF
Vivian Vivosh the "beauty" who comes to the
Schloss to marry the Count. but whom she snubs
unwittngly in the person of the despised tutor.
Whatever be the faults of the story, and they are
many, dulness is not among them. and the book
will give full satisfaction to the admirers Of its
thors style.

ENGLISH CONVICT LIFE.


"Convct Life" by o ticket-of-leave man (Wyman
4 Son. London). is written by man who was trans
ported for years for q crime committed under
the influence of drink. Its aim is to show how
rotten the boasted English prison system has be-
come. He says that he was gentleman, and his
book shows that he was man OF education, for 1t is
o fair piece Of literary work. He does not make any
attempt to excuse his crime and he asks no pity.
That he should have been punished for breaking .
law he considers perfectly just. but he does find
fault with a system which throws prisoners of his
class with the professional convict. Men, he says,
who 'are vile and SO filthy that reformatory
system under Gods would have the
slightest chance Of inspiring their cursed natures
with pure thought one honest aspiration"
He finds that the "green" prisoner is punished for
the slightest infringement of the law. while the
"old Birds" who play into the keepers hands, are
allowed to go unpunished. so he loses all respect
for the authority over him, and learns to be us
tricky and in the end as corrupt, the most hard
ened criminal. This writer gives example Of

To kill time he learned by heart number Of poems
