fact. stated in this little work taken from
official statistics, that 5,46l,264 dozen
eggs. valued at S7S2. 234 by custom house
estimation, have been imported from Eu-
rope in the space Of eleven months and

at S60.O0O.0OO annually.

The Battle Of the MOy, or How Ireland
Gained Her independence This little
pamphlet has been sent US by the pub
fishers, Lee & Sheppard, Boston. Those
who have read the Battle Of DOrking,"
which created such a stir in England
some time ago, will readily appreciate the
ingenious idea conceived and carried out
By the anonymous author Of 1.-The Battle
Of the Nov" The little work comprises
about seventy-fve pages, and the
authors apparent object is 10 express
views which. though extremely visionary,
are by no means unlikely to prove valid
in reference to prospective Irish ma
tiOnality. The narrative opens with
Of impending strife and conflict
in Europe. 1t traces the sequent events
and depicts with a force and picturesque
ness. which seem almost realistic, the train
Of causes which ultimately led 10 the bat
tie Of the Nov. The march Of events, the
plans Of campaign and battle, are all
worked out by one who is evidently no
novice in military tactics. OF course the
names Of persons are all fictitious, but
those OF the Irish leaders are intensely
Celtic, and the leaders themselves seem
thoroughly eOgnizant Of the old Napole-
onic method Of overwhelming their enemy,
the only certain tactic Of warfare.
Those who are led to read this book will
doubtless marvel at the powerful and
striking description Of the battle, which
is. indeed, one Of the finest ever penned.
One almost hears the roar Of cannon, and
sees the belching Of shot and flame. Every
true son Of Erin will appreciate its sig
nifcance, while people who are not so
much given TO matters warlike will equally
admire the subtle train Of humOr and the
thread Of keen satire which runs through
the whole narrative. 1t is a singularly
unique book, and one, too, which will
well repay perusal.
