CONSPIRACY! A CUBAN ROMANCE, by Adam
Radeau. Price SI2I New York, K. WorthiDg-
ton. Whsslir &, stanton Davenport.
The author calls his book q Cuban re-
nance, but it is hardly deserving Of the
title, as it is rather satire upon one OF our
National Administrations and more espe
cially upon the State department OF our
Government. Had We read it prior 70 the
la.e Chicago Convention, we would have
considered it q rather able campaign docu-
ment, for Blaine as against Arthor.
As q novel it cannot be pronounced
good. What little plot it has, being poor,
and the characters, rather vsgue and shsd-
owy. 1t has, however, the good feature OF
calling attention to the little protection our
citizens enjoy abroad.

Roses and Forget Ne Cts is little
bundle of poe,icsl sweetness, bound in silk
and handsomely illustrated. 1t is a per
feet little gem, in fact, the most artistic
thing we have seen this season in the way
of a Christmas card, aud will 10 doubt
have large sale among the lovers Of the
beautiful. New York, White, Stokes x
