 Camp and Cabin Sketches of Life and Travel in the Vest" by Rossiter W. Ray mond, is a lively and interesting book. MT. Raymond's sketches of life in California and Nevada are capital stories, alive with fun, full of incidental suggestion and information about the main business of life out there, and per meated with the flavor of the humorous, reck- less, good natured, but dead earnest kind of existence that prevails among the mining camps and cabins while the tender touches of pathos show that he has not studied the bright side of life alone. His sketches of travel-amid the wonders of the Yellowstone country, the peaks of the Rocky Mountains and the ice caves of Washington Territory-are no less interesting. His rapid but careful pen makes clear the notable features of the scenes he invites the reader to view, and shortens the weary approaches with charming discourse, ludicrous pictures of incidents by the way, brief scientific settings of unfamiliar facts and merry philosophy. The book is hand somely published by Fords, Howard $ Hull bert of New York, and is for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 'Faith and Character" by Marvin R. Vim cent, D.D., pastor of ''the Church of the Covenant" New York, is a volume of ser mons preached at different times to the con- gregation of the Church of the Covenant, and does not, therefore, claim to be the me- thodical development of single topic. New ertheless an examination of it's contents shows that it is not devoid of certain unity and that it's title is fairly representative. The two thoughts of Faith and Character underlie the whole book, and each sermon deals either or with the principle of faith in the unseen as it's only permanent basis. The truth that there are no substitutes for solid goodness and consistency of conduct is ably set forth in these sermons, and they are well calculated to be profitable in many ways to the readers of them. Published by Charles Scribners Sons, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 'About Grant," by John l.. Swift, is a pronounced third term book. The reason for the book, as the writer expresses it in the preface, is to show General Grants ''impor- tant share in the momentous events through which the nation has passed since 1861, and to present some of the reasons why millions of American citizens, whose fidelity to the party never faltered, regard him es the true leader in the grave emer- goucy .OepouuluB Ou tHo elSCIlOu or 1SSU. The battle of to-day, says MT. Swift, the leading issue before the people, is over the foundation principle that the vote of the in order to insure fairness in cast ing and accuracy in counting demands ma tional supervision in elections pertaining to national interests, and cannot safely be left to the varying and negligent oversight of the several States The Constitution he argues, must be meaningless jargon unless a voter in shall be certain that his repre- sented power in the Electoral College and in all national bodies is not abridged or over thrown by imperfect balloting in Mississippi or New York. In this issue Grant is the combining the most strength with the least weakness. The volume is an en- thusiastic tribute to Gen. Grants qualities as soldier, statesman and leader, and will proba- bly, be read extensively during the coming spring and summer. Published by Lee tE Shepard, Boston, and for sale in this city by H. H. Peck.
