RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

A. 8. Barnes & Co, New York, publish |
Hygiene For Young People," by DR.. A. b.
Palmer, intended TO meet the requirements
ofthe new law compelling antialcoholic in
struction in the public schools. The law is
not wise one ; and, as might have been ex-
pected from the fact that this book has the
endorsement of Mrs Hunt, w. G. T. u, it is
not such a text book as should he introduced
into the public schools, for reasons previously
given mt length In the INTELLIGENCER. |
The Hygienic Physiology" by Joel Dor
man Steele, PHI D., for more advanced |
pupils, published by the same house, is less
objectionable.
The United States Brewers association,
| New York, have published a valuable and |
| interesting work of $50 pages, prepared by |
q. Thomann, on "Liquor Laws of tho |
United States, Their Spirit and Effect" 1t
relates entirely to the federal Legislation on |
this subject and the compilation is invalua- |
BILE as q work of reference to those interested |
in the subject whether for or against :" tho |

The management of the Moravian seminary
for young ladies, Bethlehem, Pa, has shown
taste and originality in its catalogue for the
current year. 1t is an exquisite bit of print
ing and book making from the famous Com
enius press, Bethlehem and its text sets
forth fifty but modestly the merits of a school
which for nearly a century and half has
| devoted itself to the work of solid learning,
discipline and development of the mind, the
acquisition of true principles Of morals and
religion, and healthful physical develop

J. $. Ogilvie & Co., publishers, New York,
send us copy of "The Bad Boy at Home,'
and ask us to say, If it meets our approval,
| that cit contains more fun than we have ever
| seen between two covers before" 1t does
not meet our approval. On the contrary, we
have seldom seen more utterly worthless
| and vicious trash between book covers. Like
| most of Oglvie's publications IL is not only
without merit butt is trivial and Pernicious
| TO the young. The copy received has been
| used to kindle the kitchen fire.
Hon. George Ticknor Curtis, the biog-
rapher of Webster and of Buchanan, recently
delivered lecture on "The Implied Powers
of the Constitution" to the law school of
3 | Georgetown university, in which with
| characteristic cearness and cogency he pre-
sented anew the old and ever valuable lesson
that tour mixed system of separate states
| and a limited central government, the states
holding and exercising each for itself and
| within itself all the powers OF government
which ii has not, through this constitution,
| ceded to the United States, which the con-
e stitution has not expressly prohibited, has
enabled us to attain to degree Of civilization
| system could have conducted us. We can
, preserve this system only by taking care that
o each of the two kinds of government con-
j, fines itself to the sphere marked out for
4 it" This address, like Mr.. Curtis remarks
| at the farewell dinner to Minister Pende,on,
has been published by Rufus " Darby,
) Washington, and studectJ oT our great po-
ltical question: will make valuable additions
D | to their libraries by securing these pamphlets.
