altogether Indifferent TO what people say of
him, but he is modest and genieel in all his
ways, devoui Christian and an enthusiastic
Sunday-scbool rker, and general fEyorite
in Richmond society.
Mr. HowEILs hrs written a sequel TO
"Ther Wedding Journey" which will soon
be published in the Atlantic. 1t ia called

Col. GEORGE E. WARING, JR.. in a we'll
printed pamphlet Concerning Mr. Ru iolph
HeriHg's Project for the Sewerage OF Bing-
hampton, n. Y" Celebrates the benefits de-
rived from the Memphis system which bears
his name. As usual, he is clear as he is
concise and pointed.
THE second volume of the History of the
Negro Race in America, BY the Hon. Geo. w.
Willisms, colored ex State senstor Of Ohio,
has Just made its appearance. He says: IF |
the white popu alton were not fed By Faro |
pean immigration the negroes in the next |
100 years would outnumber them r.
100000. The race has increased from 757,- |
POS in 1870 to 6,580,79S in 1880"
In PLoTTERs AND PIRATES OF LOUISIANA, |
Mr.. Cable offers the most fascinating chap |
tiers yet printed of his Creole papers, the |
principal feature being graphic sketch of
the pirates of Barataria, whose leaders were
the notorious Lsftte brothers. An article
with curious illustrations, appealing not
alone to sporsmen, is Barnet Phillips ac-
count of ''the Primitive Fish-hook-"
Mr.. JOHN EIeELow's sketch of the his
tory of the "YoUng Iturbide," now student
of the military school Of Mexico, il the
best thing in the April Harper. 1t has its
source we unde, stand 10 the positive kuewl-
edge of the author acquired as minister 10
France. There is a web of rom ance running
through il that enhances the motherly ankle
ty, spirit and determination of Donna Alice.
Mr.. Curtis, the edito-, comes to the relief of
Mr.. Howeils, but while doing his best. fails
to remove the stigma OF seli-laudstion at
the expense Of Thackeray aud Dickens.
The best paper in the Atlastie, for April, is
| that of Mr.. Charles Dudley Warner on mod
ern Fiction" He holds that one of its worst
characteristics is Its SO called truth to nature,
which mems its disregard of the higher laws
OF art, and ATTEMPTS to give US unidealized
pictures of life. "fhe failure is no" he says,
shat vulgar themes are treated, but that the
treatment is vulgar; not that common life is
| treated, but that the treatment is common;
| not th 1t care is takel with details, but that
no selection is m ado, and everything is pho
tographed regardless of its artistic value"
OF Dust, the new novel of Julian Hsw-
thorne, some handsome things are said. The
scenes are laid in Eoglard in the early part
OF the present century, and the characters
are strongly drawn and lifelike, though
tinged with the glow of romance. Julian
Hawthorne is far from being his fathers
heir, aud it would be unjust TO put him in
contrast with III at w,zlrd whose glamour is
still upon American readers. But be has
powers Of his own that have attractions for
clientel that is daily growing larger. Dust
is fair sample of these powers at the ir best.
