Recent Publications.

Studies of Paris, by Edmondo de Amicis,
translated from the italian by w. w. C. New
York; G. P. Putnam's Sons; Portland: Lo-ing,
Short & Harmon.
Poet in prose, painter in phrases subtle mu-
sician in the harmonies of language Signor de
Amicis has comprehended the manifold amaze
ment, the potent charm of Paris as no writer
before him has done. Victor Hugo has made
the tremendous recital of the time when the
best blood of France stained the barriers raised
in Partisan streets; he has opened for us the
door of Esmeraldas garret and of the cathedral
of Notre Dame; the later romancists stife us
with patchouli or display to us their rag-pick-
ers' treasures of tatters and bones. But it is
not the superb shadows and dazzling light
the regal generalizations and intense cries of
the great poet, Victor Hugo,-the man whose
thought is thundercloud charged with the
lightning of his speech; it is still less the novel;
lists who, having created the impossible, insist
upon giving its details of morbid existence-it
is, again, neither of these, the first too great,
the others too little, who can give to those who
do not know Paris clear impression of its sim
gular charm. 1t is Signor de Amicis-who, be-
ing foreigner, can seize and analyze the fas-
cination of Paris as no born citizen could do;
his brilliant facile, and extraordinarily sensi-
tive nature yields itself wholly to the power of
this Cleopatra of cities All its splendors, its
pleasures, its intoxications of gaiety, the i'm
mense and changing crowd of its streets, its
dramatic despairs, its burning life, distilled
as the essence of leagues of tropic lands-with
air o.,
asitic plants, and wild and subtle creatures
climbs through the stem and drips from the CO.
rolla of tropic flowers. Above the heavy honey Of
this cup poses and flashes the fancy of Signor de
Amicis. Itfeeds upon the marvellous juice,
it is bright as a living jewel NJ. Michelet has
written of the humming bird of the tropical
forests;
La vie, chez les fammes ail6es, est 81 brulante 81
intense quelle brave tous les poisons. Leur bate
ment 'aies est 81 vif que Poll le pereoit pas;
roiseau- -mouehe semble immobile tout q fait sans
action.
This description conveys perfectly the essen
tial traits of Signor de Amicis' writing-the
light poise, the charming and petulant eager.
ness, the seeming languor of burning and rapid
life.
1t is needless to say that the author enjoys
Paris TO the full. Its confusion and its whirl
dazzle and delight him. He sees everything,
and finds in all the divine seeds of poetry
Fatgues incite him, crowds and noise uplift
his soul, and the immensity of manifold life in
spires him. The force and impetus OF his own
feeling communicate themselves to his readers;
this fresh and beauty-loying nature of the ltal-
ian expresses itself without self-consciousness
or restraint, The critical few who may be-

error in regard to the pardon of Higgins.

the pardon. No censure seems to attach

THE Bath Times has got the argus on the
hip. 1t says:
The Argus, after accusing Sherman of all
sorts Of crookedness in his administration of
the finances, says
The course Secretary Sherman pursued not
original with him. Samuel j. Tilden in his message
to the New York Legislature, January 1876, dis
cussed the whole question and marked out the very
course which Sherman pursued and which enabled
him to virtually resume six months before the law
permitted
Is not this square admission that, notwith-
standing all the abuse the Argus puts upon
Sherman, his management has been wise and
proper? OF course the Argus does not intend
to hit Tilden between the eyes with back
handler, and therefore it must mean Sherman
has been all right.

E. f. PILLsBURY writes a letter in the
Maine STANDARD in which he says not a
word has passed between him and Major
Smith in regard to the United States Sena-
torship. Perhaps not; but there has been a
heap of winking. A correspondent of the
New York Graphic, by the way, says the
Greenbackers made their platform more or
less hard-money as part of a trade with the
Democrats, by which the Greenback Cover
nor is to be elected and Democrat chosen by
the Legislature to succeed Senator Hamlin.
MIR. BISHOP of Newport and of the Penob-
scot Democratic Convention declared that he
had been supporter of the Democratic
party for fifty-seven years. and believed in
standing on the principle of our rights, but
he was ready to surrender almost anything
for the purpose of defeating the Republican
party, but he would nerer make surrender
to the principles of the Greenback party.
Therein he differs with those Portland DEM
ocrats who are even now engaged in ne
gotiating the terms of surrender.

NIessrs. Scribner & Wexford of New York
York reprint series of memoirs of the Great
Artists, in course of publication by Sampson,
Low, Marston & Co. of London. Two volumes
are already issued; Titan, by Richard Ford
Heath, and Rembrandt, by J. w. Mollett, af-
ter the text of C. Vosmaer. The memoirs are
well and agreeably written, fully illustrated
by anecdote and description as well as by nu-
merous good engravings. They give the chief
points of interest in the lives of the great
painters and their compact style, free from
the mass of dispute and tradition with which
the biography of eminent men is apt to be
numbered, suits them for popular reading.
The rich blue of the binding, with its quaint
design in black, and the general elegance OF
the mechanical execution of the volumes add
to their attractions.
