England Without and Within. By Richard
Grant White. Boston: Houghton, Miflin &
Co.. Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon)
This exceedingly pleasant and suggestive
group of sketches has already appeared in the
Atlantic Monthly, but is we'll worthy of the
more substantial shape of its present edition.
Here Mr.. White concerns himself less with
parts of English speech than with the land
scapes and customs Of England. His vivid
and individual personality, SO aggressive and
pervasive in wordy warnings upon the debat-
able border-lands of the vocabulary, in this
record of his wanderings affords to the reader
delightful sense of companionship. And
this without overmuch personal detail or ego
tism of the author; it is simply the tone and
vitality which strong and lively mind, full of
keen observation and fresh sight, gives to the
unaffected, desultory and wholly charming re-
cital Mr.. White likes England, and writes
sympathetically of its past and present; bnt it
is well to observe, is no Anglomaniac, and car
ries his American identity with him every
where.

Beauty in Dress. By Miss Oakley. (New
York: Harpers; Portland: Loring, Short 4
Harmony is very artistic and full presenta-
tion of the principles which govern the fitness
of costume. She suggests appropriate styles
and colors for different types of complexion
and figure; and with the experience in compc-
sition and coloring which her studies as an art
ist has afforded, Miss Oakey's suggestions are
of great value and interest. Women hardly
understand enough the charming effects Of
costume when precisely suited to the wearer,
the tints that harmonic with the eyes and
hair, or subdue too bright color, or bring out
the rose tints of delicate complexion. For
all this artistic ;aptation, Miss Oakey's book
will be found an Indispensable friend to every
woman, who wishing to lock her prettiest, dis
trusts her own sense of color and hesitates to
experiment with the tints that are subtle to
make or mar beauty. Miss Oakley has touched
a happy medium between the merely faslliona-
BILE and the oyer-decorative and picturesque,
blending in her work the refined taste of the
elegant woman and the trained feeling for
form and color of the artist.

The Theistic Argument BY j. Lewis Di-
man, D. d. Boston: Houghton & Mifflin;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony. This
volume is made up of a series of lectures de-
livered before the Lowell Institute By the late
Professor Diman; and treats of religious doc
trines as affected by modern scientific theories.
The authors course of study and mental exer-
else was not merely polemical. He occupied
the chair of History and Political Economy at
Brown University; and history was his favor
ite department of learning. AS "a young man
he had studied in Germany, under care of va
rious notable philosophers, and was fond of
speculative thought. Thus his conclusions
were founded upon faith and experience, and
with a full understanding of, aud even leaning
toward, modern philosophy until its theories
should conflict with the natural and essential
principles of religion. His lectures are full of
weight and worth of argument.

American Nervousness. By George NJ.
Beard, A. NJ, NJ D., (New York: G. p. Put
nam's Sons,) is an elaborate presentation of its
subject Like most special theorists he con-
siders that everything relates to his chosen
topic. Americans are strong and weak, { re
handsome and plain, are lively and morose,
are longlived and subject to increased bills of
mortality they are nervous. He con-
cludes, however that our nation improves in
vigor, upon the whole, which is gratifying.

Book of Love Stories. By Nora Perry
Boston: j. r. Osgood & Co.; Portland: Lor-
ing, Short & Harmony. The bloom and fresh
fragrance of Miss Perry's verse are transferred
without loss to her prose. These stories are
dainty, written with unspoiled and instructive
grace; and they have the due measure of pa
thos and brightness to render them delightful
and readable. They are of the right length
for reading in rocky hooks of the seashore, or
bird-haunted orchards, and will suggest many
pleasant talks concerning society and its ways.
Miss Perry is wise in doing precisely the kind
of work for which she is fitted, and she will
have many kindly thought from Summer So
journers to whom these pretty stories will be
fresh and favorous as newly gathered wood
strawberries.

Underbrush. By James 7. Fields Boston:
Houghton & Mifflin; Portland: Loring, Short
& Harmony. This volume of sketches, from a
hand that has grasped SO many another hand
with kindly encouragement and in literary
brotherhood, has pathetic pleasure now, be-
yond the pleasure of its easy and readable
style. Mr.. Fields was publisher by nature
he had the quick insight to discern talent, and
the genial appreciation that makes talent
bloom forth into full development. He loved
literary things, enjoyed the rare circle of
men that were naturally associated with him,
and could honor all drafts upon his ap-
probation of poetic feeling, severe and
classic learning or lively humor. He was
manysided man, fitted and happy in his work;
and to those who knew him personally, his
writing must be full of his presence, while
those who knew him only as the successful
publisher and pleasant writer, will also find
these Underbrush papers very agreeable read
ing.

GONE ASTRAY.
Arrested for Enforcement and For
gerry.

About the first of January the American
Sewing Machine Co. engaged as agent Samuel
n. Ball, young man of this city, who took
the store No 444 Congress street, gave bond
to the company in the sum of $500 for the ma
chimes forwarded to him, and also took charge
of the outstanding business of the company in
Portland. Mr.. Ball bore an excellent reputa-
ton, and is the son of very respectable parents.
Time went on and as the new agent failed to
forward funds to the company, Mr.. Edwards
was sent on to look up Mr.. Ball and his bust
ness. He arrived in town the first of the
week and soon ascertained that Ball had fallen
into bad company.
According to Mr.. Edwards the bond given
by Mr.. Ball purported to be signed by Mr..
James Quinn of the we'll known firm of Quinn
& Co. Mr.. Quinn denies signing any such
bond, and yet Ball persists in the statement
that he did. Further, Mr.. Edwards informed
Ball that if he would give the company as Sc
curity for over S135, in money he had collect
ed and spent, note signed by two responsible
indorsers and running for sixty days he ed
wards) would take it until Ball could pay the
money. To this proposition Ball consented
and yesterday offered such note. Upon ex-
animation it was ascertained that nobody
bearing the names of the indorsers resided in
Portland. Officers Libby and Langmaid were
then ordered to arrest Ball, which was done.
Besides the ENLIGHTENMENT and forgery it is
stated Ball has not paid for store-rent, care of
his horse or coal.
This is only one other instance of the effect
of bad company on young man who has hith-
erto borne blameless character and impress
ed all who met him favorably.

Presentation.

Monday evening the Montgomery Guards
presented Gen. J. j. Lynch, captain of the
company, through Mr.. j. A. Gallagher, with a
full set of Maine Reports, sixty-eight volumes,
as the General is about to retire from his posi-
ton as commander. Gen. Lynch feelingly re-
sponded, and an elegant collation. was then
partaken Of By an oversight on the part of
the reporter this item failed of an insertion in
yesterdays PRESS, which is all the more to be
regretted since he must acknowledge to very
polite invitation. The Guards are a fine COM
pany and will meet with decided loss in the
retirement of their captain.
The Ssontgomerys will invite Co. F. of
Lawrence to visit them.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
VAN. THE yIRGINIAN.

VAN, THE vIRGINLAN.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday evening Mr..
Frank Mayo, supported by his own company
will present Campbell's Evan, the Virginian,"
at Portland Theatre. The Minneapolis Tribune
says:
In the hands of Mr.. Mayo the role of Van is
as free from the preconceived idea of the hero
of sensationalsm as it can be. His Van is en-
titled to rank as character creation with his
Davy Crockett, and there are few better pieces
of work on the stage. Mr.. Mayo gave renew
ed proof last evening that he is an artist in
the fullest meaning of the word. He is
splendidly supported, and last evenings per-
Torrance was delightful in every respect.
NOTES.
The tickets for Robson & Crane should be
secured at once. 1t is not often two such
comedians are found in one play.
Mile. Morlacchi, the danseuse, is reported
seriously ill of rheumatic fever at her resi-
dence in Lowell.
Mr.. Nat Goodwin has a new play by Mr.. A.

Fresh, the American" ETC. He is delighted
with it, but will not produce it before next
season.
Speaking of Snellbacker's company which
will appear at Portland Theatre soon the Bos.
ton Herald says: The first visit of this COM
pany (when it played to crowded houses) was
so short a time ago that patrons of this theatre
will scarcely need to, be reminded of its nu-
merous attractions. Since it was here, now
ever, it was been reinforced by the engage
ment of a number of new performers. chief
among whom are four Hindoo Nautch girls,
who will appear in the peculiar dances of
their country, and Miss Alice Maurice, an
English character and change artist" who
will tomorrow make her first appearance in
America.
