charm, originality and sweetness, and each
holiday season her contribution to Christmas
literature is sure TO be of the choicest and
most acceptable. Gross Patch was little Patty
Cross-a wee maiden of quick temper but
warm heart, who learned her lesson of patience
in visit to some lovely Quaker aunts. Little
Tommy Tucker, with his clear voice and baby
chivalry for his little Elsie, is pretty sketch.
Miss Jane was a little girl who was apt to let
she mouse out of the bag by telling all she
knew about everything every time. The Old
Woman in the Shoe contains wholesome doc
trine for people who undertake to bring up
children on theory.

The President of the Senate

Republicans are for the most part indis-
posed to sxult over the election of David
Davis as president Of the Senate. No pow
der will be wasted for guns and no bunting
for flags. Republican Senators doubtless
did the best they could. Only Hobson's
choice was open to them. Perhaps, under
the circumstances it would have been better
to let the other crowd do the choosing The
advantage gained is at the best but negative.
The presidency of the Senate has been TAX
en- from the Democrats and given to What
Is It?
Senator Davis is a political trimmer
and he will use his Office to further
his personal ambition. If he finds
1t to his advantage to act with the
Republican party he will do SO. If he finds
it to his advantage to betray the men who
have elected him he will turn traitor. His
desire is to pc President of the United States
and for two years to come his chair will be
the centre Of political intrigue. Mr.. Bayard
is q thorough partisan, and would have used
the power entrusted to him In aid of the
Democratic party. Mr.. Anthony is thor
ough partisan, too, and would use his infiu-
ence to aid the Republican party. Mr.. Da-
Wis is q 'snon-partisan" and will do all he
can for that unreliable party" David Da-
Wis. BE exactly meets Pitts definition OF
an independent man, "a man not to be de-
pended upon"

JUDGING from the showing made in the
national balance sheet, the internal affairs
of Japan are in prosperous condition. Last
years public revenue exceeded that of the
year before by no less an amount than eight
and half million dollars, while, what was
even better than that, the income was twelve
million dollars greater than the expenditures
which indicates that profitable trade is COM
bined with judicious government. This
state of things Is the more gratifying and
significant because Japanese enterprise and
commerce are still trammelled and handi-
capped by one-sided treaties into which Jap
an has been partly coerced and partly cajol-
ed by European governments. When these
treaties, which are sad check upon Japan
ese development, shall have rum out or been
abrogated, the prosperity of Japan may be
expected to take fresh start.

Over the Hill to the White House. BY Mrs.
e. w. Allderdice, New York: Denison q Co.;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon,) is poem
suggested by the trials, cares and richly
crowned efforts of the beloved mother of Presi
dent Garfield. Written at the time OF the IN
auguration of our lamented hero, its pages
have no trace of the sorrow that is mixed
now with every living thought OF our
martyred President-but is one OF the
testimonies of appreciation of his stain
less and brave soul that everywhere arise
and praise him. Perfect in every relation
and trust Of his life no word can be said OF
President Garfield that does not deepen the
love and reverence in which the world will for
ever hold him.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Philosopher and
Poet BY Alfred II. Guernsey (New York: ID.
Appleton and Co; Portland: Hoyt, Fogg and
Donham). This is a compact and readable
sketch, with numerous quotations from essays
and poems of the life aad work of Mr.. Emsr-
son. Mr.. Guernsey's task has been rather to
collect these quotations and set them in order
to represent the philosophers thought by his
own words, than to make a connected history
of his life. The elevated and noble character
of Mr. Emerson emphasizes every expression
of his thought, so that the readers faith may
well follow where understanding is baffisd by
visionary vagueness.

IT is difficult to understand from the Pa
risian dispatches in the English journals
what is the true state of the case respecting
the proposed change of the French Cabinet.
But so far as we can make out Gambetta ap-
pears to be very uncertain as to what is his
best policy on the subject of assuming re-
sponsibility of actual government as Premi-
er. This doubt involves the possibility that
if he organizes Cabinet before the meeting
of the Legislature, he may be defeated
there by strong combination of men of all
parties. Hence the probability is that he
will avoid becoming Premier until the exist
ing Cabinet shall be defeated in the Assem-

Geraldine. A Poem (Boston: James r.. Os-

commonplace attempt to combine the sdvan-
tage of poetry and society novel. Indeed,
nothing less than the convincing testimony of
the authors title would have assured the crit
ical reader that this was not ordinary, well-in-
tentioned though somewhat inverted prose,
arbitrarily set off in groups of twelve syllables
each, more or less. The sentiment is rather
hysterical, and the interest of the story BY no
means absorbing. Although it contains many
undeniably excellent reflections, its tone is not
healthful the best point of the volume is the
lovely design and color of Its binding.

Damen's Ghost, (Round-Robin Series, Bos-
ton: J. R. Osgood; Portland: Loring, Short &
Harmony is known to be the work of Mr. Byn-
ner-already pleasantly representedin literature
by two fairly successful novels. The present sto-
ry has lively movement, well balanced plot,
really entertaining conversation, and is easy,
practised and attractive in style. Mrs. Anne
Gould and her son Oliver, the hero of the story,
are delightful people, and sketched wish point
and freedom. Theyoung women of the story are
perhaps less successful in portraiture, but are
at least of average charm and interest. The
minor characters, Miss Badger, Mr.. Ferritte,
Joe and others, show a tendency to initiate
Dickens's oddities. Perhaps story turning
on the long delays of law could hardly be ex-
pected to forget Dickenss inimitable studies OF
the legal lingerings of Chancery courts. Mr..
Bynner has large share OF the story-teller's
gift, and carries his readers pleasantly along
with the fortunes of his personages.

warlock O. Glen Warlock. BY George Mac
donald. Boston: d! Lothrop & Coz When
ever new novel by Mr.. Macdonald appears
it is sure Of large circle Of readers who ad-
mire very greatly the teachings OF moral and
spiritual matters which are the handspring OF
his stories. The Scottish tongue. in its pictur-
esque homeliness, lends itself readily to pithy
and quaint morslizing, and appears less didac-
tic than more classic English upon similar
themes would be able to do. Warlock O. Glen
Warlock has more plot and incident than most
of the authors previous novels; but is decided
ly improbable in some Of its chief episodes-so
much so as actually to lessen the readers in
terest in the fortunes Of the Warlock
family. A piratical ancestor, haunted
chamber, traditional rhyme leading
to the discovery of hobby-horse
stuffed with diamonds = sapphires and
rubies thrown in for incidental mskeweight-
will tax the faith of Mr.. Mscdonsld's readers
to the cracking point. Some descriptions are
excellent, the simple life of the inhabitants of
the Glen, some finely touched gli~pses of
landscape, the walk in the snowstorm when
Cosmo and Aggie meet Lady Joan and her
father, remain pleasantly in the readers mem
ory. The two bad old lords are repulsive be-
yond the readers patience, and fairly blot the
pages in which they appear. Cosmo is fine
and sincere character; Lady Joan and Aggie
are interesting, each in her way, and the Laird
of Warlock's simple and exalted nature makes
itself felt, though one sees where the novelist's
art fails occasionally to carry out the
details of the fine character it has created.
Grizzie. the canny old serving woman, is the
typical Scottish retainer--witty, devoted and
shrewd. Some Of her sayings are capital; again.
too much effort is apparent in the delineation.
Mr.. Macdonald's morality (perhaps spirituari-
ty would be more nearly descriptive term) so
pervades his books that it is net possible to re-
gard them merely as works Of fiction. This
quality of his-sincere and active enough
wants sitting and steadying. He is apt to In
prove every occasion and thought, and the
reader will often notice great and obvious lack
of everyday logic. Mr.. Macdonald is not pras-
tical, though certain homely fashion OF his
writing seems to credit him with 80 being. His
ways to conclusion ramble and lose themselves
and, while the general direction and tone OF
his work is always good in intention, it not
seldom fails for want of the sense Of proper
ton and the many traits Of tact and expert
ence that 20 to make up sound common sense.
