"A FEARFUL RESPONSIBILITY, by W. D. Howels.
Here we have the American girl abroad again, but
Mr.. Howell's heroine is neither Daisy Miller nor
an Octavia Bassett She is, however, a pro-
nourced American, though not so in a disagreed
Bile sense. She is however, the 'fearful RESPONSE
bility' of the story. A New England college pro-
fessor, accompanied by his wife. goes to Venice
for the purpose of writing history Of that city of
canals. While there the daughter of an old friend
is sent to them, and as she is bright, attractive
girl she naturally attracts attenton-and lovers.
Although she is wholly tractable and not bit of
firt the complications which naturally arise weigh
heavily upon the professor and distract his atten-
ton from his great historical work which be final
ly abandons. The book abounds in the clever
touches which have made the author so great
tavorite with the reading public. He is truly for
tunate in his publishers, for daintier dress or
more attractive Typography could not be desired.

Black is steadfast believerin Orthodox Christian

which he is able to sustain any cause i'll which his

of capital invested largely increased, the profits

fall far short Of last season. The sardine facto-
