positively without q companion. In
fact, in more respects than one, the ne W

sui in color works being strlkingly
novel and effective while the general
construction demonstrates al ingen uity
in inven tion still as original as it is

of view Electric b. & o." is of more
than ordinary excellence, and not few
of the telegraphic IL cidents and narra-

characterizes the whole work, and II
the delightful book is an advertisement

siderable severity. Rain commenced
