''The Sisters is the title of another Egyp. tian romance by the celebrated German Egyptologist, Georg Ebers. It is translated by Clara Bell. The scene is much later than ''Uarda,' being in the time of the Ptolemies, during the Greek occupation, and about 164 years B. c. The Cleopatra who figures in it is the wife of Ptolemy Philometer, and not the loved of Mark Antony who was done to death by viper 134 years later. The story is that of two lovely sisters, who were servi- tors in one of the temples at Memphis, and had Greek and Roman lovers. The tale it. self is sensational enough to please those who like this element, ahd it is interesting enough archseologically to please the more serious minded reader It is written with the pleas ing literary skill of the authors other books, and notwithstanding the artificial nature of it's conversations, and the romantic cast thrown over life, is remarkable reproduc- tion of an ancient and little-known period. Published by Vim. s. Gottsberger, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the book seller.
 Ouida's ''In Winter City, is published in paper covers by J. B. Lippincott & Go. This story deals, as is well known, with society in Florence and has made Ouida many enemies It has also won her much admiration. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 Man Proposes" a new novel of American life, tells romantic story of a Boston family with a beautiful adopted daughter. The heroes go to the war; and their adventures are tragic and interesting. One of the minor characters is an attractive maiden lady, stern 1y opposed to emotions, and reader of Her bert Spencer; and another is 8 colonel, for merly a minister, an accomplished and agree able gentleman, well known at the Boston 'sPlato Club,'' and stationed at Beaufort, S. O., for some time during the war. There is good deal of action in the tale, and it will win warm appreciation from readers of taste Published by Lee & Shepard, Boston, and for sale in this city by H. H. Peck.
 Strange Stories, D by Erckmann-C Chatrian, is added to kppletons' New Handy Volume Series. This collection of stories consists of the Mysterious Sketch," ''The Deans Watch 'Abraham's Offering, D 1.-The Three Souls," ':The Invisible Eye" and the "Won- derful Glass" They undoubtedly belong to the earlier period of these two authors, when they first took short flights into romantic space All the stories are weird, curious and original in thought, though the horrible ele- ment quite overshadows them. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 seNo 13 Rue Marlot," translated from the French of Rene de Pont-Jost by Virginia Champlin, is published by Lee Shepard, Boston. It is a well-written story based on a seeming murder The attempt to discover the criminal baffies the Parisian detectives, who prove to be entirely on the wrong scent.

A Clever Boy.-A farmers wife, in speak ing of the smartness, aptness and intelligence of her son, lad six years old, to a lady ac- quaintance, said: 'sHe can read fuently in any part of the Bible repeat the whole cate chism and weed onions as well as his father" ''Yes, mother,' added the young hopeful, land yesterday licked Ned Rawson ,throwed the cat into the well, and stole old Hinckleys gimlet."
 A dull-looking young man. unaccustomed to travelling, entered the cabin of one of our best steamers, and, mistaking a tall mirror for doorway thus addressed the reflection, thinking it WAS stranger Say, mister, when does this boat start ?'' Not receiving any answer although he repeated his inquiry two or three times, he yelled out, "Go to thunder, you flat-nosed, shock-headed fool You don't know anything anyhow!"

 Chicago Tribune. Sometimes, when look back over my life, says Burdette, am amazed to see how the pages of it's record are dotted with hair breadth escapes. I escaped the dangers and hardships of the Revolutionary war by wait ing until the war had been over about sixty years before I got born. When the Brook lyn Theatre burned I was in Burlington. When the yellow fever broke out in New Or leans I was in Minnesota and immediately skipped out for Canada When was boy at school one day all the boys in school were logged all round for robbing an apple orchard, and the f1ogging didn't do bit of good, for every beggar of them had the cholera mor- bus all that night, just the same. And why? I was attending another school twenty-three miles distant. When all of my brothers and siIters were down with the scarlet fever, I was down South in the army, and when I read the letters from home l laughed aloud to think of my great good fortune, and that would only have to be shot at once or twicea week, instead of having to take medicine three times day. When man comes to the office with little bill, nine times out of ten I am out. And if, by some astonishing blunder, I am in, then, indeed, I am more unfortunate, but the man is in no better luck than before.
