1--WE FOUR"

The general reader will find nothing Of special inter.
est in the volume issued by Lppncott under the title
OF 1--WE Four; Where We Went and What We Saw in
Europe" Miss L. L. Recs. Of Philadelphia. is the
author and the book is . narrative of q trip she
made in company with three other ladies of the
Quaker City to the Paris Exposition. After "doing
the gay capital they made the regulation tour
of Switzerland. the Rhine. Scotland and Ireland.
The volume is appropriately dedicated to "Our
relatives and friends in America who wish to know
our impressions of our hrst trip to Europe" With
this dedication before it would perhaps be unfair
to criticise the work that Of q callow and mex
perienced traveller. It is written in a light and
pleasing STYLE and is not the less entertaining
cause the fair author gushes the Tower Of Lon
don and the Tuileries with much detail and en-
thuslasm as II she were the irst writer who ever
visited them.

HENRY ABBEY's POEMS.

The critic and the student often trouble them
selves about the future Of American poetry Heaven

some indication its direction but little inquiry
will show that our rhymers run. as rule in ruts-

mighty rivers, the grandeur of its destiny. should
give character to our poetry. o. man born to power
conveys the thereof in all his actions without
any offensive parade. In its first rude efforts in the
expression of conscious power our public speech
strained after much and for itself the titles
of spread-eagleism. and. in more general sense.

HoFr's ''uNExpEcrED reform" SUBSTANTIALLY

An exceedingly talented young Bohemian painter,

ried the daughter OF rich picture deaor is friend
of Munkacsy, has attracted much attention at late
Salons by his historical and genre pictures Of Bohemia

appropriated. and almost bodily, the idea of an
other mans picture, and sold the canvas to .
collector Of this city who has heretofore taken
a good deal of interest in him. Unfortunately the
picture he copied is also owned in this country and
lately publicly exhibited in New York. It will
be remembered that some time ago wrote ut

first to arrive in this country and were therefore OF
great interest. They were called "The Unexpected

design is essentially copy Of the important canvas
