John B. L. Soule, the author of the vol
ume Of poems before US, is known in this
part of New England; Freeport was his
birthplace AID Bowdon his college. A re-
view of Mr.. Soule's career shows varied
life, the greater part of which has been
passed IN the West. His pursuits include
the law, ministry, teaching, professorships,
journalism, and an authors tasks. Ger
tainly great versatility is shown in this vol
uue. DR.. John B. Soule says in his preface
that the selections vary much, both in style
and merit, and also states that the volume
was published for personal friends. Per-
haps, however, the facts that the poems
were written for recreation and that we
make our few comments without so much
as an acquaintance with the author will fur
nish ground for an expression of opinion,
To US the title "Polychords" is not a happy
one, nor spontaneous in Effect. On page 11S

Mr.. Henty wrote of the Crusades in his
"Boy Knight' aud now in Jack Archer"
of the Crimea. An English midshipman,
whose career takes him through the battles
of BalaklaVa and Inkarman aud the capture
of Sebasiopol, is an ideal hero for boy read
ers and Jack Archer will have host of ad-
mirers. Fine print, 800 pages, illustrations,
thrilling adyentures-how the youngsters
will gloat over itl-and it is story which
will do them no harm, provided they use
such material as the occasional substitute
for better worthwhile mental diet

and that the Companion has been able
to achieve a circulation of 32s.ooo

The Tennessee Bond Cases.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 23.-The Ten
essee bond csses which comprise sixteen
suits against sixteen southern railroad cor
poraliOus, and which involve outstanding
bonds to the amount of 100000, were
called for argument in the United States
supreme court this afternoon. There was
an extraordinary display OF counsel pres
ent from all parts of the country. The
cases to be argued were begun In the east
ern, western aud middle districts of Ten
essee in January, 1879, and were heard in
May, 1880, by Hon. t. l.. Whitley,
district Judge at Nashville, Tenn. The
suits were brought by bondholders for the
purpose of enforcing the lien on the rail-
rogds, contained in the act OF the general
assembly of tennessee, February IL,
| 1852, known as the internal Improvement
law" Under this internal Improvement
law about $25, 100000 of bonds OF the
state of Tennessee, were issued by the state
to the railroad companies which are de-
| f-ndants In these cases. The bonds were
negotisted by the railroad companies, and
about 81 900 900 of them are now outstand-
| ing in the hands OF bondholGers all over
the world The hondholders contend that
a lien for the payment of the
bonds set forth IN the internal
improvement act was for the benefit of the
bondholders and that the bonds should be
declared by the court to be first lien on
he railroads to which the bonds were
issued. The contendipg rsilroad COM
panies on the other hand say that the lien
was for the benefit of the state only. The
decision of Judge Whitney was adverse to
the bondholders. From that decision they
appealed to this court In 1881. In view
Of the Importance of the cases the court
has extended the time for argument to
nine hours for each side. Gov. Hoadly
opened the argument for the bondholders.
