A TRAMP ABROAD.

Mark Twain's New Book, Being Compan-
ion Volume to Innocents Abroad.
A gossipy record of the authors great pc
destrian tour through Germany and other
parts of Europe during the past two years,
IN which he delineates by pen and pencil the
many strange scenes he beheld, the adven-
lures he passed through and the people he met
and mingled with. With superb steel en-
craving of the author, being the only one in
existence. Fully illustrated with fine en-
cravings.
This volume,it is believed will be found not
only exceedingly amusing, but like its pre-
decessors, trimming full of valuable informa-
ton. Although purporting to do the jour-
ney on foot, our author never 80 far adhered
to this method as to prevent his becoming
perfectly familiar with the whole country
he visited and the people he met. In fact,
to accomplish this he, if we may believe his
story, land who ever knew him to exagger-
ate?) risked his life in various ways-voyag-
ing down rivers on RATS, and down noun
ia ms on famous glaciers; fitting out extern
sive caravans for the ascent of the highest
peaks of the Alps, and enduring terrible ia
tigue in conducting them. g
Awaiting himself of the opportunity Of
fered, he devoted time to the study of art
and made most astonishing progresses is
evidenced by the specimens he gives US OF
his drawings. His acquisition and use OF
the German language is said to be wonder
full. His researches IN the field of bric-a-
brac enables him to throw new light on this
interesting ftudy; and his experience in the
musical world can not fail to give great val
ne to his criticisms.
With his eyes and notebook open, he
tramped along; mingled with other tourists,
learned how to edo Europe" and then struck
out new paths for his own footsteps. The
guide books pass under his inspection, and
are subjected to his tests, and put on
the defensive; scores of masked errors, here
tofore universally accepted as truths, are
fearlessly questioned and exposed. Satire,
humor and stirring descriptions Of the snb-
lime and beautiful are mingled in most
fascinating manners and render every page
of the book of the deepest interest. 1t is
an Independent volume, and many new fea-
lures in book-making will be
found in it. While all its
illustrations are unique and characteristic,
some of them will be found highly suggest
i've and entertaining.
To those who have travelled with our au-
thor Tin his other book it will hardly be nee
essary to say that he is companionable, inter-
esting and original. always; that he sees
things from standpoint different from any
others, and that quaintness and brilliancy
are the great characteristics of his writings.
In this respect this book will not,
it is believed, fall behind his form
or Ones II ia lust such
q one as might be expected from the author,
when having at command so much material
from which to construct it. It is COM
panion volume to "Innocents Abroad" and
as such will be recognized and, we believe,
appreciated.
