Her Crime. No Name Series. Boston:
Roberts Brothers; Portland: Loring, Short &
Harmony Notwithstanding the sinister APP
pearance of this novelette,, it is lively and
entertaining story. The characters and con-
versalions are very brightly sketched, but the
author has not the gift of the sensational. The
mystery is rather too obvious and theatrical;
but it is no dispraise to assure the writer that
she is at her best in describing bright and we'll
meaning and well-doing people. Villainy is
not her forte, but pleasant society is prettily
Set forth by her pen in style which is appar-
entity easy TO write and is certainly easy to
read.

LORD Dufferin has arrived at Alexandria,
and is likely to lose no time in discharging
his commission. So far as has been made
known or can be surmsed, he has gone to
Egypt for the purpose of experimenting the
reorganization of the Egyptian government,
and of explaining to the Khedive the exigen-
ces which arise out of the change which has
taken place in his position 1t is under
stood that the Khedive, now that he is Sc
curely established upon his throne, has been
showing an lnconvenient and ungrateful dis
position to be independent of his actions,
just as though he did not owe his restora-
ton to British bayonets. Lord Dufferin is
ust the man to convince him of his mistake
without interrupting the amicable relations
with him, which it is the policy of the Brit
ish government to maintain.

Eras and Characters of History. By William
R. Williams. New York: Harper & Broth
ers; Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony An
ambitious and sophomorical volume of essays.
1t is crowded with scraps of easily collected
erudition; and inpompous and conceited style,
having patted history on the head and APP
praised and ticketed the great men of the
world, proceeds to patronize Providence itself,
going SO far as to admit on page SO that it is
quite possible that Providence was not "really
oblivious of mercy and equity" in permitting
the benevolent Howard to be imprisoned.
Heaven and earth must be alike relieved to
find that Mr.. Williams is inclined to be some
what leDient in his criticism. It is, however,
quite impossible to say word of praise for the
work of Mr.. Villa ms. Conceit, osteDtation
display of shallow learning, and stupid irrever,
ence characterize its pages from first to last.
Shakspeares Complete Works. The Avon
Edition. philadelphia: E. Claxton & Co.;

steel engravings. For greater convenience a
synopsis and some critical comments are given
to each play. The volume is thoroughly in

Mother Goose for Grown Folks. By Mrs. A.
d. T. Whitney. Boston: Houghton & Miffln;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony This is
reprint of volume which is characteristic of
Mrs. Whitneys thought and expression, at its
best and worst. She is always to be credited
with the best aims, her active charity and de-
sire to do good with her talent are exceedingly
praiseworthy. But the restless and over-iDge-
NOUS striving to find or invent deep meanings
where none exist, the lack of artistic repose
and pleasure in beauty for itself, and sort of
quibbliDg, resultant from these traits,
greatly mar the literary value and in
deed the practical usefulness of Mrs.
Whitney's work. She plays on ideas
as punster plays with words. The charm of
Mother Goose is its admirable metrical hand
ling of irresponsible and refreshing nonsense,
and it is not worth while to weigh the baby
ballads with burden of grown-up moralities

FROM an English statement of Egyptian
finance it appears that the whole of it rests
on the land tax, which averages 81 per acre
of arabic land. The crop depends so much
on the Nile that one foot difference in flood
level is worth two millions sterling, but TAX
ing fair average of about six millions and
half acres, the value of the maize, wheat,
cotton, rice and other crops may be esti-
mated at 81, 100000. The custom revenue
of the country is small, being about 81 ,000,-
600. The railways and telegraphs bring in
about 81 ,250,000. The government expen-
diture is limited to SO, 49, 900, any balance
being devoted to the payment of debt. The
tribute to Turkey is more than per cent. of
the gross revenue.

THE loss of the Colorado Legislature will

the loss in Louisiana and Colorado. The
Democrats have gained in Louisiana and
Colorado and LOST in Virginia and Oregon.
The only party securing an actual net gain

from Virginia. The party with its Two
