Smyth." We have previously given a sum- mary of the contents of this volume. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 ''The Saltwater Tragedy" by Thomas Bailey Aldrich, which has been running in the Atlanttc, is published in book form. Mir. Aldrich has written nothing better than this . capital story. It's plots and incidents, it's characters and situations, all most happily conceived and drawn. It is written in an easy manner, which adds to it's charm, and it is, from beginning to end, extremely enter taining. A competent critic says of it MT. IL, TT,,r real and yet poetic hand Margaret appears on the scene, with the mingled sweetness and strength of her class. The love scenes be- tween Richard and Margaret are tender and engaging, but without note of mawkishness or stiffness. Ali this artistic treatment we should have expected from the author. But in his treatment of the labor problem he has shown an insight and strength, in regard to practical questions, that might not have been demanded of poet and a romancer. We do not know anywhere more admirable de- scription than he gives us of ''strike. , There is nothing lurid about it. But all it's illogical passion and futility are sketched to the life. The study is cool and true as day light. Nor will the reader find elsewhere better portrait of a manufacturing village, with all the grime of it revealed and nothing overdrawn. Such pictures are apt to give the reader horror, and convince him that living in them would be impossible for cleanly disposed person. But the author gives the compensating aspects of the place, and we see that residence in Saltwater would not be a martyrdom. The whole book, in short, is sane and sensible.
