History of therise of the Huguenots in France,
by Henry NJ Baird, Professor in the Univer-
sity of the city of New York (New York:
Charles Scribners Sons; Portland; Loring,
Short & Harmon) is valuable and attractive
historical work, in two volumes elegantly
printed and bound. Prof. Baird writes in
spirited and graphic style, which in its fullness
and excellent choice of detail, resembles the
method of the eminent historian, Prof Green.
The period embracing the years from 1515-4
may, observes the author, be regarded as the
formative age Of the Huguenots in France.
1t witnessed the first gathering of the members
of the sect, which during this space of time
consolidated into well-defned body. The
varying fortunes of the Huguenots indicate
very closely the general historical course of
France itself during that period; and it GER
tainly affords fine opportunity for striking and
effective treatment at the hands Of writer as
well prepared for the task as is Prof. Baird.
1t is interesting to read his account of the nu-
merous documents which have recently been
brought to light out of the dust and shadow Of
disused libraries, and afford fresh material for
such history to be written. Letters, mem-
oirs, and the portfolios of diplomats of the
time, and even the correspondence of kings
are now at the service Of historians; and from
these papers, French, Italian and English, q
just and comprehensive view of this notable
period of French history has been taken. 1t
is needless to give here any sketch, however
brief of the annals of the Huguenots; it is
enough to say that Professor Baird has added
the most faithful and patient research to his

''THE air is full of disillusions," says the
New York Post. 1t is not referring to the
elections, as would be naturally supposed,
but to the fact that Mary Ann Margot, who
lately died in London hospital, was not
the widow Of Napoleon's valet at st. Helena.
She long traded on that assumed proximity
to greatness, and made profit of it. But she
was an imposter. There was not even a
valet Margot. He is as mythical as state

The Prehistoric World, Translated from
the French of NJ Ellie Berthet (Philadelphia:
Porter & Coates; Portland Loring, Short &
Harmony is, Notwithstanding its somewhat
severe title, one of the most fascinating vol
umes with which romance crowns modern SCI
ence. 1t is made up of three stories, giving
pictures of sngularly imaginative and power
full quality founded upon the details which sci
entifc discoveries afford of human existence in
the Stone Age, the Age Of Polished Stone and
the Age of Metals. "Let us go back through
the ages" says NJ. Berthet, "let us pass sew
eral thousand years beyond the forty centuries
common tradition assigns as the date OF
the creation of the world before the birth
of Jesus Christ" This breathless flight
backward through time being accomplished,
the reader is set down-in Paris! Cave-bears
dance in the Quarter Latin; mammoths in
habit the site of Montmartre; and auroch-
skins and strings of VOLTS teeth were the
costume of the Partisan belle. 1t is a true feat
OF imagination so perfectly TO project oneself
into the past as NJ. Berthet has done; his sto-
ries have the verify of an eye witness, whether
he tells us of the primitive cave-dwellers of
the inhabitants of the marvellous Lacustrian
cities, or of the wild and majestic traditions of
the Druids. 1t is only lack of space at this
season when the holiday books crowd the col
umns of the reviewer, that denies fuller set
ting forth of the valuo and charm of NJ Ber-
thet's work. Yet it is hoped enough has been
said to unreservedly recommend to favor this
volume, which does for pre-history similar
good office to that which Scott's novels do Tor
the history of the middle ages-to render 1t
life-like and memorable.

Fears OF yellow Fever.

The Southern aud Southwes tern
members in Congress- state that they
have received a large number of let
ters from constituents residing in the
localities subject to the yellow fever
scourge last year, indicating that they
have grounds for apprehension that
these districts are likely to suffer a re-
visitation of that terrible epidemic.
They state that, Notwithstanding the
intense cold of the early part of the
winter, the season since has been 80
mild that the conditions conducive to
the disease are again prevalent. In
view of this, they urge that Congress
do not adjourn without adopting some
legislation that will provide tho means
of preventing the importation and
spread of the disease. II Congress
agrees to any legislation at all beyond
the appropriation bills, this measure,
il is conceded on all sides, should re-
ceiv. prompt action.
