Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1885-11-20

the most famous and lovely pictures OF the
divine Mother and Child. There is a touch
ing little sketch by NJ. Burty of the French
painter, Leon Bonvin, a sensitive and un-
happy man Of genius, whose shor life was
q struggle against all that was sordid and
cruel, and whose courage at last gave way
in suicide. The illustrations which accom-
pany this article are charmingly executed,
giving in the black and white, to a sur
prising degree, the delicate, ideal grace of
Bonvin's creations. Mr.. Gibson's winter
sketches are as delightful in their own way
as the Bonvins; and the prose idyl which
introduces them is as POLITICALLY vivid as
the little snow pictures themselves. Ed
win Arnold's poem, "The Ritz Sanhara,'
the usual short poems and editorial matter
and an attractive mass of fiction make up
the rest of the number.
The great sensation OF the ensuing
month outside the realm of politics will be
the appearance in English garb of that re-
markable work of a remarkable author,
S~aldmnbo, by Flaubert, the father of the
school of realism. N. French Sheldon,
who is responsible for the translation, has
80 ably constructed the original hat every
detail OF the Carthsginian mystery so en-
trancing in the original has been pre-
served; and as the volume has beer dedi-
Gated to Stanley, the African explorer, and
is prefaced by a sketch of Flaubert, writ
ten by Edward King, the American poet,
Messrs. Saxon & Co., the publishers,
should have a busy time OF it during No
vember.
TIE thirtieth bound volume of the
Century, which embraces the monthly

rent literature, of illustrations that are the
