"Pulpit and Easel' is new serial story written by Miss Mary B. Sleight It is a work that will be greatly enjoyed by all its readers. Dr. Edward Eggleston, the well known editor and story writer, read the story in manuscript and gave the following as his opinion of the work: 'EI do not know that have ever read-certainly I have not read of late years-a distinctively religious story that pleased me so much as the one just written by Miss Sleight. If I were editing religious paper I should count it the greatest good fortune to secure story so admirable as work of art and so excellent in it's spirit and teachings" The work is published by Thomas Y. Crowell & Co.,, of New York For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 Mr. James Anson Ferrar, author of "Prim- tive Manners and Customs, has just issued | a work on Military Manners and Customs" !" He alludes to all points in the history of war | that are either of interest or importance, | without recognizing any hard and fixed line between ancient and modern or Christian and Pagan historical periods. Examples of such points are the treatment of prisoners of oOooo spies and surprises, the introduction of and the feelings in regard to new weapons, the mean ing of parts of military dress, the origin of peculiar customs and the prevalent rules of honor as displayed in notions of justice in regard to reprisals or of fairness in strata gems and deception. The study is by no means new one, but the author says there is no objection to calling it by the new name of Bellology. The writer is novel only in the | method of treatment; he never | loses sight of the fact that to all military customs there | is moral and human side which has been | too generally ignored. The author says in his preface; 'tThe books of history deal with the manners, not of men, but of ninepins, so | utterly do they divest themselves of all hu- | man interest or moral feeling in reference to | the customs they describe with laudable but l toneless an accuracy" The existing laws | and customs of war have never been printed before in any form more popular than official address. MT Ferrar makes frequent refer | erence to the Parliamentary Blue Book as 1 the source of the most trustworthy military 1 information. The new work cannot fail to l be of interest to those who are at all inter- ested in military subjects. Henry Holt & l Co.,, publishers, New York. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
