From Radical standpoint, what is
legitimate i'll Louisiana is decidedly il
legitimate in Maine. But then, you
know how it is yourselves, you bloody
shifted rogues.-1lerandria Democrat.
From Il Democratic standpoint, the
counting out business as manipulated
by Mad. Wells and Tom Anderson
in Louisiana was All infamous crime !;
but the same sort Of thing, when per-
petrated by Garcelon and his fellow
Returning Boarders il Maine, be-
comes patriotic public service that
deserves nations applause. 1t makes
q blamed sight Of difference whose Ok
is gored, aud you know it, you bald
headed, buIldozing, Bourbon blather-
sixties.

From an independent stand point,
such as the mass Of the people Of
Louisiana can we'll afford to occupy,
in common with the CHIEF, the con-
tioversy maintained through the po-
'itical press of the country over the
Maine muddle is just too awfully
amusine...for any thing. The argu-
ments used are Nondrously similar
to those employed in connection with
Louisiana affairs in 1874, 1875 and
1877, but the positions of the dispu-
tants are reversed. What answered
for Democratic thunder before, is now
hurled by the Republican organs, and
the hot-sllot now issuing from the Zig
gums of Democracy is the same that
was rained upon them by the Repub-
licans during the Louisiana contro-
versies.

This work of 18 pages is affection
ately dedicated to the young men of
the northwest. The aim OF the author
has been to overcome what is falsely
assumed to be a widespread influence
for evil raised by Col. IngersolPs lee
ture, 1.-THE Mistakes of Noses" In
gersolPs influence for evil, admitting
1t to be against Christianity and the
church, is fat dying out and will
soon be thing Of the past. The
thinking people of the worli are
settling down to the correct belief
that lngersoll is an orator, but not
reasoner; that he can capture and
enchain his hearers, but cannot re-
tain or convince them. When people
in their calm and quiet moments
read his lecture. disconnected with
the man, they find it full of sophis-
tries and Astounding in errors of asser-
ton, az well as conclusion.
DR.. Curtiss, ii a refutation were
needed, has supplied one in his little
volume. The statements of the lee
turer trying to disprove the Bible
assertions anil history of Moses, are
taken up and shown to be false; and
what to some seems doubtful and
hidden in the Scriptures, is made
clear. There are seven chapters,
each applying to a particular sub
division of Col. Ingersoll's lecture;
and nine appendices, ell explanatory.
The author shows extended reading
and wide research.

a BUNDLE OF LETTERS. By Henry
James, jr. Loring, publisher, Boston;
Salt Lake: James Dryer.
This is 3 neat pamphlet of reprints
from The PdTisian, being series OF
letters contributed to that publication
by Mr.. James, the whole furnishing
a sarcastic criticism of life in a Paris
boarding house. The people in the
house, Miranda Hope, OF Bangor,
Ne; Violet Ray, OF New York; Louis
Leverett, of Boston; Evelyn Vsne, of
the English arisEocrsoy; Leon Verdi,
of Lille, and Rudolf StAub, a German,
write to friends their impressions of
their fellow boarders. The letters are
bright and amusing, especially for
the way IN which the writers uncon-
sciously disclose their own weaknesses,
and the skill with which the ezpres-
sions are varied to suit the different
persons. The Bundle of Letters" is
worth perusal.
