@During the whole Of the iirst day l wa
continuously engaged in passing from one
part Of the field to another, giving directions
to division commanders. In thus moving
along the line. however, I never deemed It
important to stay long with Sherman. Al
though his troop were then under fire for
the first time, their commander, by his con-
slant presence with them, inspired n conf
dence in officers and men that enabled thom
to render services on that bloody battle field
worthy Of the best veterans. McCiernard
was next to Sherman. and the hardest fight
ing was In the front of these two divisions.
McClernard told me himself on that day.

incidents wo read in the morning paper,
is the work in which Ebsrs has particu-
larly excelled, and in which he has
hardly q rival. In the present volume,
although every historical detail is pre-
sented with tho utmost accuracy the
story itself hardly comes up in interest to
the standard of "Uarda" or "The Egyp-
tian Princess" The multiplicity of char
acters is rather confusing, but each one
is sketched with light and vivid touches
that make them seem very real to us.
The time Is tho era of the great conflict
in Alexandria between the Pagans and
the Christians, and it is rather q novel
element in early romance to find tho
Christians the prosecutors instead Of tho
persecuted. We can hardly think the
author justified in representing tho
Christian women of the time in the am
bilious and unscrupulous Mary, the
mother of Marcus. The selection Of the
name must of course, be merely coin
cidence as the time forbids Identifying
her with the woman of that name mon
toned in the Bible. Much Of the story
centers around the destruction Of the
great Alexandrian library, aud the thrill
ling events Of the time are graphically
and dramatically narrated. The story
is, as usual, clearly and faithfully trans
lated by Clara Bell.
