The Talking Leaves. An Indian Story. BY
William o. Stoddard. New York: Harper &
Brothers; Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon. }
This very attractive story of the western plains
will be as delightful to the girls as to their
brothers, for it tells, not only of hunting and
adventures in the great caflons, but also of the
doings of an Indian girl and her adopted sister,
who had been stolen from white settlement
In one of their rides upon their lively little po
MES the girls find some stray copies of illus
trated magazines, left by United States soldiers
in their way. These talking leaves recall
slowly to Rita her early home; and the story is
worked up from this point very ingeniously to
its end.
Ting-a-Ling. By Frank Stockton. (New
York: Charles Scribner's Sons; Portland Lor-
ing, Short & Harmony. A reprint of favor
lite story Published some years SINCE and which
appears now again in time to be read in the
long October evenings to the staccato music of
cracking woodfres, and which will send the
little folks off to bed to dream of "all good ql-
ants, dwarfs and fairies"

The Book of Fables. Chosen and Phrased
by Horace E. Scudder Boston: Houghton,
Mitflin & Co.; Portland: Loring, Short & Har-
mon.) Among the innumerable writer's for
children there is not one who understands the
requirements of young readers more perfectly
than does Mr.. Scudder. There is a hearty,
common-sense tone in his writing, which at the
same time does not at all lack fancy or play
fulness He treats children in frank and
kindly fashion that wins their likin. and at
tention and has rare tact in offering them their
part OF the best literature, "chosen and
phrased" SO that it is neither beyond nor be-
low their powers. He writes as If children
were his friends, not toys to be fancifully
played with, stimulated and experimental up
on, or little mistakes of creation to be correct
ed. The clear type, easy words and short sto-
ries, with their many and pretty illustrations,
admirably fit The Book of Fables for school or
home instruction in reading.

new volume of the English Men of Letters
Series is Mr.. Leslie Stephens memoir of Jona-
than Swift. New York: Harper s. Brothers;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony. The BIZ
ographies of Swift already existing were mea-
gre and preiudiced; of these Mr.. Stephen pre-
fers Scott's work, which, though it contains
many inaccurate statements is, he says, "full
of strong sense and genial appreciation of char
acter." Certainly Swift needed much charita-
BILE construction to be placed upon his life and
writings, and those writers who have consid-
cred his case with view to brain pathology
had before them curious problem with many
unknown factors.

Beauty in the Household By Mrs. T. W.
Dewing, Author of Beauty in Dress. New
York: Harper & Brothers; Portland: Loring,
Short & Harmony. 1t is not possible to imae-
inc more womanly or kindly use of artistic
experience than that which Mrs. Dew ing makes
other knowledge of form and color to aid her
less talented sisters to make their homes and
costumes tasteful and attractive. 1t is no won
der her volumes are 80 eagerly welcomed; for
the best result of the aesthetic craze which over
flowed the land, bearing with it strange bur-
dens Of bulrushes, ibises and lotus lilies, is the
fertility Of artistic cultivation that it seems
likely to leave behind it. Every reform must
overdo to do its work at all; and after sunfow-
ers and marguerites have had their day we may
expect time when popular feeling for art,
lately in process Of excitement shall become
second nature with the people and right un-
Outstanding OF its first principles, at least, be
arrived at by handiworkers. Mrs. Dewing's
book is full of most useful suggestions and
should be studied by every housekeeper, The
general principles of art which she advances
are admirable; sometimes the details of color
and decoration suggested are somewhat too
elaborate and picturesque for daily life, unless
in households Of exceptional wealth and leis-
ure. By the way, kaphael's Madonna della
Seggtola appears upon each of the several pages
where it is spoken Of as Madonna della Sedula.

The March to the Sea. By Jacob D. Cox,
Ii. D. New York: Charles Scribners Sons.
Portland: Loring, Short and Harmony. Under
this inspiring title, the present volume of the
Campaigns of the Civil War Series records the
campaign of Sherman in Georgia. Like its
campaign works, this recital of the events of
the rebellion is clear and soldier like mar
rative, telling its story with no pretense or
pomp but with all useful and interesting de-
tails, many of which are now made public for
the first time.

Political History of Recent Times. Transla-
ted from the German of Prof. Wilhelm Muller
by Rev. John P Petres. (New York: Harpers;
Portland: Loring, Short ard Harmony. This
work, written by German professor, natural
" looks at the progress Of recent history from
German point Of view. The translator has
abridged the portion of the volume most di-
rectly concerned with Germany, entirely
omitted that which treated of the United
States and added to the annals of England.
The historian is to be credited with great zeal
and industry in collecting matter for his work,
but the style is somewhat disproportioned,
lacking in dignity and directness and in the
large tranquil temper of history.

The Cryptogram. By Jules Verne. New
York: Charles Scribner's Sons; Portland Lor-

Part Second of former work named the Giant
Raft, relates the imprisonment of an innocent
man until the cipher can be read which gives
the name of the guilty one. Ofcourse the mys-
terry is solved precisely at the supreme moment
1t is needless to say that the story is ingenious,
full of incident, and in every way unexception-
ahle-for it is the work of Mr.. Verne.

Judge Houk's hired man, H. R.
Gibson, has made the discovery that
''the most active and hardest work
ing Congressman are the least often
in their seats" This is brilliant
discovery, and if it were fact, why
then Houk was the hardest-worked
man during the last session of the
Fortyssixth Congress we have ever
heard of. He was the 'Ieast often
in his seat of any member of the
House, being absent one hundred and
twelve times out of one hundred and
twenty-seven when his name was
called. Poor fellow, he needs rest
But, Henri, it is too thin, and you
must have poor opinion of the in>
telligence of your readers and the
people generally if you expect them tc
believe it. The idea that Houk is one
of s'the most active and hardest
working Congressman because he
was absent from his seat more than
six-sevenths of the time during an
entire session is decidedly preposter'

CONGRESSMAN HOUKS RECORD.

We understand that Judge Houk
and some of his friends privately
deny the truth of the charges we
have made in connection with his
record as a member of Congress.
We charge, and stand ready to fur
nish the proof from the records, that
during the last session of the Forty
sixth Congress, being the session
of 1880-S1, he was recorded
in the list of those alb.
sent and mot voting more
than six times out OF seven when his
name was called during the entire
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-05-09
session. The roll of the House Of

Representatives was called one han
dred and taoenty-seven times during
the session. The Congressional
Record shows that he answered to
his name fifteen times and that he
was recorded in the list of absentees,
OF those mot voting one hundred
and t,celue times. These are the facts
as they appear from the printed
copies of The Congressional Record,
which we stand ready to exhibit to any
person desiring to see them. We chal-
lenge Judge Houk to deny these
things over his own signature. Ii
he will do so he can have space for
such denial through the columns of
the CHRONICLE, free of charge.
He assumes to be the special
champion of that class of our people
who have claims against the govern
ment. In July, 1864, Congress passed
law which provides that the quar-
termaster-general should receive and
investigate claims against the govern
ment, and in cases where such claims
proved just and meritorious, to res
port them to Congress, in order that
the necessary appropriations should
be made for their payment. In order
that the payment of these claims
might be expedited, the law en-
powered the appointment by the
Secretary of War of special
agents whose duties were to go
into the localities where the
claims originated and investigate
and report upon their validity. They
have been paid out of the army
appropriations. When the army bill
was under consideration, on the 18th
day of April, an amendment was
offered by Congressman Hiscock, OF
New York, providing that no part of
the funds appropriated by that act
should be expended in the investiga
ton of claims under the act of July,
1864, The amendment was passed,
and Judge Houk was not present to
oppose or vote against it, but is re-
corded in the list of those mot
voting" A private denial by the
Judge, OF by his hired men, will not
suffice in this case, and we chal-
lenge him to deny it over his own
signature or in any public manner.
We are ready to furnish the proof
when it is denied.
He telegraphed to his friends in
Knoxville two days afterwards April
7th) when he was expected here to
fill an appointment to speak, that he
was unable to come on account OF
important business, and mentioned
among other things the army bill,
while in fact the army bill passed in
the House two days before
with it's obnoxious amendments,
and he was not there
to vote ON it. One of his special
friends undertook to explain his alb
sence by saying he was sick, but he
failed in his own telegram to men
ton this important fact. Our in
formation is that he was "sick, just
as he was sick while at Nashville in
January, 1881, and just as friends
found him when they attended the
Inauguration of President Garfield
in March, 1881, and just as he was
during the last session of the Forty
sixth Congress, when he was absent
and not voting one hundred anG
twelve times out of ore hundred anC
twenty seven, when his name wa:
