New YORK, Jan. 30.-Charles II.
Phelps, in this evenings Post, notices
the recent lengthy review of Bancroft's
History of Central America in the
Post. and adds: But it seems to me the
time has come when word should be
said as to the methods employed by this
author ia the manufacturing of books,
before heralding his name. The part
which Bancroft hus played has been
simply that of Macenas now trying to
plume himself in the laurels of Horace.
There are two or three gentlemen and
one lady engaged in writing histories
which bear Bancroft's name. It is not
said that what they write is submitted
to Bancroft. who is said to te managing
editor of the bureau which he has
founded; but l am credibly Informed
that page after page goes into print
without q mark or interlinea.ion of Ban
croft's. Four or five different histories
on different sections of the Coast, such
as Oregol, Utah, California, ETC.. are in
course of simultaneous production, each
section being taken by different writer's.
That these facts are deliberately sup
pressed. and that real slurring &C
acknowledgement, simply intended to quiet
those who know the facts, are sufficient
reasons why these facts should be pub
iished. The Bancrofts receive great
credit for the expenditure of large sums
OF money in collecting valuable histori-
cal MATERIAL
The writer also charges Bancroft with
soliciting friendly newspaper criticism
by offering remuneration. The only
magazine on tie Pacific Coast contained
long article lauding Bancroft. from
the pen of lady employed in his bu-
reau.

Money for Ireland.
DUBLIN, Jan. 3O.-Parnell has for
warded to Father Gallagher one hun
dred pounds of the f385 received from
the New York Society of Ancient Or
der of Hibernians. Father Gallagher,
in acknowledging the receipt of the
money, says tina. the suffering 0ple of
Donegal, subsisting on food only fit for
beasts; that private charity cannot cope
with the widespread distress there. That
the Government alone can do, and
things will very soon come to crisis.

plaided skirts a jersey bodice of a

Fans oftinted estrich-feathers,m mount

oval in shape, and usually have bril-

Yellow, in a score of tints, ranging
from daffodil and primrose to citron-
yellow of greenish tint, is a color that
is how exceedingly fashionable in every
sort of dress-fabric, bonnet-material,
and garniture, and in house adorning--
in drapery, paneling, poItieres, lambre-
quins and curtains.
Lace bOnnets in black and cream

among the attractive fancies in new

laid over the byims, which are first COW

wreathed around the crown, or massed

cades of the lace.
The return to fashion of gros-grains
and failles has met with universal APP
probation. These handsome silks have
a richness of effect quite beyond that
obtainable by any surah or merveilleux,
vet il Is not TO be supposed that these
soft, clinging silks are by any means
discarded. They are as much used as
ever, but they are employed in differ

own still; for, beautiful as some of the
new tints undoubtedly are, nothing in sid

more attractive and artistic than white
with lace adornings.
